About Me


Who is Dusty O'Day? Better yet, who cares?

Powered by iSOUND.COM

I am a producer/bassist/multi-instrumental musician. I make music because it is a need in my soul that keeps me up till 3am on most nights of the week. When most people are enjoying a nice evening relaxing with some television, a movie or a book, I am usually creating,recording, tweaking, mixing, knob twiddling, until I am falling asleep in my computer chair sitting up. I have to force myself to have a life beyond work, eat, sleep, music balancing all of these with family.
I have produced for Dolce, Avery & Soulfire, among others. At times I work with Definition the Wax Mechanic. Check out his music on his myspace. I have played bass for: Kava Wine, CitiZEN Change, Squishy Peach, Soulfire and Studemont Project.
