Black in the Mind

The Story
In a small central Florida town in the beginning months of 2007, singer and songwriter Michael Folds had a revelation. His dream to build a band combined with his brilliantly written guitar segments that set a new standard in the world of music was placed in full effect. Accompanying Michael’s inconceivable vocal range and dominating performance, bassist Ryan Sylvester saw promise to his mission and immediately joined him. Ryan’s assembly of undulating bass lines and intense, inimitable stage performances contributed greatly to the start of a new generation of music. The work now had begun, and finding and making a name for themselves was just the beginning chapter.
They needed to find the perfect band name, a name that would catch the minds of the fans and draw in the others. They came up with ‘Black in the Mind’. So what does it mean? The question itself can almost be the answer you’re looking for; it’s whatever you want it to be. Being Black in the Mind is easy; you simply "black out" your mind and allow your thoughts and worries of everyday life to dissolve into nothing. When you free your mind of everything, you find yourself in the right state of mind to really hear music. To be Black in the Mind, you must be able to "hear" the music. If so, the music will be free to take your imagination anywhere it wants to go. This creates a strong bond between the music and the listener, a personal relationship. This is what music is and does for us. So there it is- Black in the Mind is more than just an idea; it’s a place, a feeling, a safe haven of escape that’s always there when needed. You can make it whatever you want; it’s your musical world to customize.
Even with a band name, the two were still missing the musicians that had the talent and commitment to fill in the open positions at drummer and rhythm guitar. But first, they needed some direction-
Enter Sylvia Cunha, music marketing mogul. With advice that has helped some of the most successful bands of yesterday and today, she knew just what it would take to take the young musicians to the pinnacle of the music world. Finalizing the lineup was just the first step and they quickly succeeded at this task as Cesar Frisoli (drums) and Chuck Knickerbocker (guitar/backup vocals) filled the voids with unprecedented talent and drive.
The next step was to start promoting and performing to the public. They did this by playing almost anywhere; the 4 were determined to make a name for themselves. Through their eccentric stage presence which included 360 jumps and intense audience participation from Ryan, the incredible, mind-numbing drumming talents of Cesar, and the mesmerizing harmonies that Chuck and Michael produced almost effortlessly; their stage performance caught the fans and helped create an extremely loyal fan base.
Already creating a rather large buzz, their full length CD would establish the now inevitable victory in their battle to prove to the world that they could accomplish anything. This dream for achievement is now becoming a reality and is only a matter of time before Black in the Mind performs their stories of love, hate and experiences of life to the world and perseveres in the overtake of a person’s mind; putting them in that place of pure bliss; with no consideration of any elements except that of music.
