About Me

From Orange County/Long Beach, California, PROJECT1’s core sound is metal, complimented by detours into other musical realms. With influences such as funk, and a variety of World music styles including flamenco and Middle-Eastern, the band naturally fuses styles to create a dynamic experience which lies outside of the norm. P1 has always done things their way with the philosophy that the music and live perfomance are paramount. Defying industry standards, which place great importance on image, gimmick, and short-term returns on passing trends, P1 connects with its audience through its honesty and humility. Musically and personally, the chemistry of its members and the focus on their long-term vision promise longevity. Live, the quartet engages its audience with sincerity and a passion for their music through raw physical energy. With a positive rapport and an undeniable performance, the audience takes home an invigorating experience. Currently, P1 is writing new music and playing shows, with plans to record a full-length album in late 07’. RELEASES: "Overcome" (5-song EP), 2002. "Refuse to Compromise" (4-song EP), 2003. "Myspace Exclusive:03-05 demos", 2006.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
