You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !DramaSydEOhio’s DramaSydE is anything but another flavor of the month. This is the flavor that will linger with you for a long time to come. This trailblazer of rock, hip-hop and R&B has some bright and unique offerings for music fans and a big red flag is going to go up over DramaSydE in the music industry. This is an artist to watch.SpectrumWe all know that music deals with a wide range of emotions, but only certain artists are capable of tapping into music and conveying this massive platter of human feeling on the musical palette. DramaSydE is among those artists. “Music makes me feel happy, sad, angry, vindicated, validated, good and evil,” says Michael Cook of DramaSydE. And he writes music that uplifts, that touches melancholy, that brings angry catharsis, that inspires justification in life, victory and embraces the full light and shadow of the human spirit. His songs are complex and rich and leave a lasting impression.ControlMuch like the summoner of a spirit, the one who summons a song from the creative well must be ready to take total control, to own the song. One must be in touch with one’s artistic expression and be able to shape a song like a master craftsman. This is the philosophy behind DramaSydE and one of the reasons why every DramaSydE song turns out so strong and compelling. “Anyone can write a song, but how many can become a song they wrote?” asks Cook. “You rent an apartment, you own a house – you should always own your song when performing it!” From composition to performance, DramaSydE is a master of its craft, boasting impeccable execution of marvelous songwriting.PainGreat art comes from pain and such is true with DramaSydE. Dark, personal life events have driven Cook toward finding purpose and meaning in life through music. His inspiration comes from family. “My mother, my father and my sister – they all died without fulfilling a purpose. Especially my mother; she chased her passion and died trying.” Cook is a man driven and it’s evident in every tune. Just listen to the album “Black Monday” – you’ll see. DramaSydE is currently working with A&R Select, the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.Review“DramaSydE reveals a heart of darkness but also a soul of bright passion in music that will haunt you to your grave.” – A&R Select
