I am the band:) An indie artist/producer/philosophical wannabe that's experienced many different angles of the music biz - from horrific amatuer endeavors as a power metal misfit (GEMINI) to being on the GRAMMY nomination entry list in seven different categories & having my tunes on MTV. It's all the same. Marketing is the only difference. I love the web & the freedom it brings to all artists, the ultimate democracy, people either download your shit or they don't. Like my tune? Call me, send me a buck!
