Hearts Aside
Hippie Metal! Just think of it like this: it's an eclectic mix of metal, rock, alternative, blues, punk/ska, and hip-hop.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Jeremy Wooten: Jeremy has been a musician since the age of 9. First learning to play guitar. Then moving on to learn bass, percussion, drums, piano, and MIDI production. In his late teens Jeremy was signed to a small label based in San Antonio TX, in a band named Discarded Youth. The band broke up, and Jeremy then played in a slew of different Texas based bands before moving across the country to Virginia. Once in Virginia he played in yet another 4-6 bands before landing a spot in the Post Punk/Pop/Rock/Metal band Hearts Aside. Which is currently working on their new demo! Whilst making music with Hearts Aside, Jeremy also started his own solo project named Unique: Music By Jeremy Wooten. It's a mixture of Heavy Metal, classical, blues, ska, punk, and whatever else came to his mind. The Unique demo has no scheduled completion date. Which brings us to Remorseless Music International. A side project done with a very talented guitarist Pauly Vengeance. This demo is also currently in recording!
Candace Levi: For all of her life Candace has had a deep interest in music. She has always been readily involved in chorus and choir from Elementary School to High School, learning to read music, play piano, and becoming a lead alto in her High School Woman's Ensemble. Regardless of being left-handed, Candace plays both guitar and keyboards in a right-handed manner claiming it to be easier. After being accepted to both District and All State Choirs (Virginia), Candace went on to found the band Hearts Aside, citing that there aren't enough bands with a strong female lead.
