My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/23/2006
Band Website: kristianvalen.com
Band Members: Kristian Valen
Influences:

" Oh...:Depeche Mode, Coldplay,Springsteen,Dylan,A-ha,U2,Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan,Foo Fighters... so many!

Productionwise:
"I like everything from big ass pop/80's like David Foster and Mutt lang, to simple live and down to earth and dry acustic. (Early Jewel to the late Mr.Cash)"

"As long as it gives me goosebump's and I belive in the voice that's singing the lyric's! Music is a state of mind 2 me! I never use it just as a "filler" in the background when I'm doing something else! That's like Mc.Donald and Burger King: Yes, it can taste good for a few minutes and will stop your hunger...but how long will it last?"

"But I'm by no means better than anybody else! Hey,I love a Mc.Donalds allso once in a while :) If u can combine pop/rock/folk/hooklines/lyric's with a uniqe voice.... LET ME KNOW :)"

"Enjoy music,don't analyze!!"


Sounds Like:

Currently in the studio working on second album. STAY TUNED! (+ check out the platina selling European version of "LIsten when alone".)
