Audio-ology

Audio-ology is the resulting musical mash-up, combining both Chaz and Zach?s roots in the church, with a love of both hip-hop and rock, a blend of backgrounds that results in the perfect post-Obama melting pot. The two met shortly after Zach arrived in L.A., just three days after Hurricane Katrina hit.. Chaz usually comes up with the beats and music, while Zach writes most of the lyrics and collaborates on the melodies.

AUDIO-OLOGY (n): musical duo which combines both hip-hop and rock into one groundbreaking package, featuring Detroit native Chaz Logan and Louisiana-born Zach Goyne; also a treatment and cure for what ails the music industry.

?Music is the universal language,? says Zach, a tattooed Cajun whose own tastes growing up in Lake Charles, LA, included a love for southern gospel (especially Elvis Presley), country and rock before discovering hip-hop as a teenager. ?Everyone hears the same sound. That?s the direction we?re trying to go.?

One of the first songs they wrote together, ?Pretty Girls,? Audio-ology?s debut single, is a perfect example of the collaboration, a combination of hip-hop verses and rock choruses, the two effortlessly trading lines like they?ve been doing this all their lives, which in many ways, they have, just not together.

According to Chaz, ?Pretty Girls? was inspired by listening to Asher Roth ?Be By Myself.? ?It inspired me, so I sat at home and came up with the line, ?I?ve got a problem/Say I?m always chasing the pretty girls.? No beat, no instruments, just the lyrics and melody.?

?That?s what makes our music touch such a broad atmosphere,? says Chaz, perhaps the only guy on his block with a high-top fade, Cazal sunglasses and an airbrushed blue jean jacket to have a love for Jay-Z, Ice Cube and Common, as well as the Beatles and the Supremes.

?There are only two kinds of music, good and bad,? states Zach. ?What brought us together was the idea of wanting to play the best music and do the best we could doing that.?

Ice Cube, Common, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Jay-Z, Asher Roth, Tupac, Biggie, The legendary Motwon....
