Light Up Tonight

We went into the studio with no preconceptions. Soul has always been a heavy influence of mine... so it's prevalence is pretty obvious. However, the number of influences present is very surprising to me. We love the sound and really hope you will too

One Day at a Time

This was the first track Andy and I wrote that clued us in to the ultimate "sound" of our project. The album will be due out this summer. Hope you enjoy...
"A powerful and energetic composition bringing the right amount of orchestral sophistication to your speakers, framing Alex Boyd’s singing perfectly. I’d say a definite treat for whoever’s on the receiving end of Alex’s smoky, steamy vocals." - KickKickSnare.com, on "Light Up Tonight" "... it's fresh, infectious and intelligent. What a pleasant surprise for the pop music landscape. The world is thirsty for something this bright and uplifting." - Frank Cody, founder of Broadcast Architecture
Your musical influences
The earliest memory I have of falling in love with music, was when my parents played The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel non stop while we were touring Scotland. After that... it was anything Rock... Green Day, Offspring, Metallica, Sepultura, even Pantera. Then I fell in love with Sinatra. It wasn't so much his singing as it was what he represented. His aura. His presence. I wanted to be just like him. So for a few years... all I listened to was Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., and Chet Baker. After that I began to explore black music while attending Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Georgetown. Musiq Soulchild, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, D'Angelo, Carl Thomas... whatever I could get my hands on. At the time I was studying classical voice... so what I listened to in my CD player was very much different from the type of music I was singing on a daily basis. I continued studying Opera at the Interlochen Arts Academy for the final two years of high school. My first year I listened to Lagwagon, NOFX, Slayer... anything punk or heavy rock... but would then turn around and throw on Chet Baker's "My Funny Valentine" before I headed out to DJ a Happy Hardcore party on campus. I guess I forgot my DJ Icey addiction somewhere in there... anyhow. I like music. It's fun.
