Family and Legacy

About Me

Fusion Records was conceptualized in the heart of down town Fort Worth near the end of 2005 through a melding of the minds between many driven individuals based on the concepts of musical expression, family and legacy. Over the first year we tried many ways to accomplish this goal and learned we were surrounded by the musical talent and ambition, but no one in our area was promoting DFW and it's talent. So from the proverbial drawing board came the creation of Fusion Promo/Records a marketing company built to help local talent any way they could. Now we are starting to see the foundation to this cities label built from this cities talent start to mature. Today we find ourselves surrounded by many of those same people from down town and joined by those who are eager and willing to share their talents as we build a Record Label fusing genres and skill sets. Fusion Records capitalizes on creating a comfortable and productive environment at its “Fusion Project Studios.”
If you are looking for a place to record your next LP or your practice sessions to dial in your next show, Fusion Records has the environment and expertise to aid in your project, if you are looking for a polished sheen to your current tracks Fusion Records has the equipment and drive to provide it, if you need production in any form Fusion Records can match you with the feel you are going for and if you want to get your name out there Fusion Records and Fusion Promo can help jump start the buzz. We have heard you asking for it so now become part of the movement through support and united efforts to help our cities talent be discovered the way it should be.

This disbanded group(formerly known as Exposing Janus) was concieved in 2003 by ZAQ Bell and Hamilton Chase Hargrove in White Settlement, TX. Without having any previous musical training, the pair, began embarking on, "a psychadelic noise free-for-all." Though extremely unorganized and inexperienced, these sessions laid the framework for more full and complete songwriting. By 2004, Bell and Hargrove were ready to attempt a full band assembly, and enlisted four mutual friend musicians. One of whom was guitarist Michal Kajtoch. Unfortunately, work schedules and conflicts of interest wouldn't hold the sextet together. In order to keep together the original founder's pressed on. ZAQ took over vocal work while Hargrove retained his seat as electronic wizard/pianist and original guitarist Michal Kajtoch decided to mix it up between bass and guitar. Thus creating the 3 piece line-up to this date. While being an unsigned act, the group began working with local Indie label, Fusion Records(July '06), (Bell,Hargrove and Kajtoch), now known as THE SHADOW, were appointed as the studio production team by owner Jarrett Vamavikidas. With ZAQ Bell taking the job as Executive Producer at the Fusion headquarters, 509 Braewick Drive Studios, The Shadow has thus spent countless hours recording and sampling.


When was the last time Fort Worth saw a band that had major buzz before playing even one show? The Burning Hotels did — and after their second show, the buzz got even bigger. It’s no wonder: The foursome, all in their early 20s, play with the heart and talent of bands twice their age. Singer/guitarist Chance Morgan attributes the hype to a combination of luck, hard work, and help from some big names in the Fort Worth music scene.

Warchild has been writing music since he was 8 years old. He started out writing poetry and gospel when he lived in Panama and moved back to the states and started getting more involved with hip hop and R&B. Warchild's first show was in Seoul, Korea in 2000. He has performed in numerous small time venues, but the one show that seems to stand out from the rest is the show he put on with his unit in Iraq, he single handedly planned and performed a concert.
