This music is the result of a multi-year effort and I very pleased to realize this personal accomplishment. I left Chicago as a vocalist with a showband.I sang 2nd tenor in the backround mostly.I was part of a 4 man vocal group.made up of My Brother,Myself ,and 2 others.My brother was our main Lead singer at the time.I also did some lead vocal..when I left Chicago I vowed I wouldn't return until I was successful in music,after a year or so on the road the band we had broke up and left us out of work as vocalist.my brother and I decided to learn to play so we could back up ourselves..he chose bass ,and I the lead guitar..in couple of years we were playing and singing with the Pope Brothers Band..we played mostly in southern California,clubs and military bases..my brother and I wrote some songs and came very close to a record deal at points.we recorded with Perry Kibble who wrote Boogie Oogie Oogie with Taste of Honey..and was offered a distribution deal with CBS.only to fall short in the funding to finish and deliver the Album.my Brother went on his own,and I couldn't find anyone to work with me on original material.they just wanted to do cover songs and clubs.so I decided to learn to play Keyboards and do my CD myself.
I had already written most of the songs I needed.and I had quite a bit recording experience as a studio musician.with Perry Kibble and Walter Johnson..
I was able to buy myself a 16 track professioal digital studio and I went to work..my music is my own original style I developed,I call it Nu Groove.it's a fusion of rock and funk..and where I think music was possibly heading if not for Hip-Hop..all the music for my songs was written,and performed entirely by myself.no one else assisted in any way..and all but 2 of the 15 songs the lyrics were written by me as well.I'm trying some new things with a rock lead guitar,by using it in ballads,and in concert with Lead Vocals in a way I feel is unique
so now I'm poised for the next phase of my life long plan,I've done everything else up to this point.so I'm hoping I won't have to buy it too.:o)..I am pleased though that since mid-March I'm been picked up over seas in France Belgium and Germany.along with about 10 stations in the U.S.my association with Maddradio.com also has to be recognized.and the music has been charting well.also I'm getting a couple of offers to play with other bands,and I'll be posting my live shows soon..Hope you love the Nu groove...I seek to put more passion into my music,,if it doesn't touch you,,smoke a joint and try again..:o)..really though let me know how you like it,,and look out for me,,I'm coming!!!!!!!!! since I've done this alone,and I'm the only person envolved,, I seek others that would be interested in participating with me in launching this music..I have a lot more than what's posted here,,and look forward to any producers,musicians,financiers,promoters,publicist,,and anyone else that feels the passion,the potential of this...and wants to come aboard...message me ,and lets talk..you can also find a little more content from me and a longer preview of all the songs at www.soundstation.com/stan2nite
