The Focusing Halo
This band is a fundamental collection of like minded individuals with a strange twist on art. We feel that art is an expression of ones soul painted with many mediums on many different types of canvas. Our music is a way of expressing our interpretations of life, and emotion to our listeners. We love working with artists of all mediums. So we work with many other artists like photographers, videographers, painters, etc... to bring our music to life with even more depth. We are The Focusing Halo, and this is our canvas.Band/artist history
