Rock/Pop/Electronica that features the Music of Dave Meredith (Mezzer/Worlds Apart Productions)the awesome vocal talents of Brian Sonneman and added Guitar work from Matt Hone, together the three of us are working on a host of tracks that are based around various styles of ROCK
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I can only speak from Mezzer point of view right now. I have a huge history online, with my various collab work and a huge selection of beats online. I write and produce music in all styles from Hiphop to Soundtracks from Rock to Trance.
I have had the chance to work with some great artists online and the result has been some truly brilliant songs.
I am signed as an artist to Melodrift where i worked on songs , one which had radio play and a fair bit of promo to.... that was a cool feeling to know people enjoyed our work. I also work on Hiphop/R&B with BMGLV. Quite a bit more to tell but i wont do that here as this is for the MezzerSonneman work that will be coming online very soon.

A few words about Brian Sonneman:
To me brian has key to unlock the melodies in my music, he has the voice and the talent to pull of the various styles he uses and the way he structures and works on the songs with his vocals is first class, very good sounding recordings and you can hear the hard work that goes into the songs and his vocal recordings.
A few words on Matt:
Matt plays a mean guitar and will be adding melody and solo's to some of the songs that will feature, this guy really knows his guitar !!!
Brians thoughts: Well my press kit is up on my site for anyone who would like to read it. I would rather talk about my band mates than myself.
Dave Meredith (AKA) Mezzer, is one heck of a song-writer. He is highly prolific and works at a speed close to my own if not faster! Sonneman/Mezzer is becoming a shock! The songs are flowing and they are mind blowing!
Matt Hone,is the very best guitarist I have ever played with, hands down! Hone is a guitar GOD! I have played all of my life and I can't even play in front of the guy! Listening to the guy live is like hearing the hand of God grace his holy guitar.
Matts thoughts:
I am mostly a self-taught player. I started playing guitar at age 10. I have a deep love for the instrument, nothing comes close to the feeling of six strings twisting in the palm of your hand! Bending notes and building dreams one lick at a time.
I teach guitar to 23 students, ten of which live out of state and learn online!
Mezzer has a fanstic ear and writes some really cool songs. He knows how to put a groove together!
Sonneman is the quintessential ROCK singer that enbodies power style and grace all without missing a note!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Mezzer: Nope i have not.
Brian: Yes I have, too many times to count. There have been many special moments. One that sticks out in my mind right now is a show I played at an all ages club in Tacoma WA. Playing a non drinking crowd can be really fun or really hard! On one hand they're there for the music not the drinks, on the other they are not wasted and wanting to jump up and ROCK! About half way through our set I saw people lining up at our CD-T-shirts tables. The staff all bought t-shirts and had put them on before the end of our set. Kids got up and danced, the room filled to standing room only!
