About Me

    MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds
My name is Ryan Stanley. I own 4 of a Kind Productions, LLC. Often referred to as 4okp. I'm a man of many hats, a bit of an entrepreneur if you will. I'm a screenwriter, an independent film producer and a band manager. I've spent the last 10 years helping to develop several companies with other Entrepreneurs, that were all eventually sold for a pleasant profit. Throughout those years, I always had a desire to create my own company geared more towards my own personal interests within the Entertainment Industry, specifically film and live music. In 2004 I started 4 of a Kind Productions, LLC in an effort to make that desire a reality. 4okp currently manages four bands on a full time basis and does some consulting for another. The first band is Amfibian, which is fronted by Tom Marshall (lyricist for Phish) with Anthony Krizan (Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz) on lead guitar. Ever since Tom and Anthony got together it's a whole new ball game. Their 3rd and most anticipated album 'Skip The GoodByes' was released last year on Relix Records. The second band is an up and coming band called Karmic Juggernaut. The K-Juggs are 4 Truly Gifted Writers and Amazing Young Musicians, Voted "Asbury Parks Best Young Band 05, 06 and 07" You've got to see them to get it for yourself. Karmic members now attend Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz in the Hartt School of Music, at the University of Hartford. While not in college they frequently headline at The Legendary Stone Pony, in Asbury Park, NJ and play in festivals throughout PA, NY, and NJ. In my humble opinion Karmic Juggernaut is going to be the next Big Thing in Independent Jam Related Music and become a permanent fixture in the history of organic progressive rock. You heard it here first! a href="http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d80/4okp/?action=vie w&current=CBRadioFront.gif" target="_blank" If Country-Rock is more your speed than you should definitely check out Citizens Band Radio. CB Radio is literally a HonkyTonkin' Rock-A-Rollin' WhiskeyDrinkin' Band. If you're a live music fan who appreciates this type of a scene, you have GOT to see these guys. CBR is one of those bands that due to the perfect combination of real talent, constant touring, and word of mouth have become one of the most popular bands in their genre in the NorthEast. Plus, they have a really kick ass bus! ;O) 4 of Kind's most recent addition to the family is the one and only CC Coletti. CC Coletti is the beautiful and talented vocalist from New Jersey most widely known for her rockin duets and background vocals with Meatloaf and his Neverland Express World Tour. When she's not on tour with Meatloaf, CC's at home in NJ focusing on the next stages of her career by singing and writing original music with Producer/Song writer/Guitarist, Anthony Krizan. In October 2007, CC opened for Meatloaf in front of thousands of people, singing the songs that she and Krizan had written earlier in the year. The results were overwhelming. CC was originally only scheduled to perform for the first six of the twelve shows on the tour. However, the reaction to her songs and performance was so impressive that she was asked to open for the remaining six shows. CC returned to the States with a new found excitement and began to immediately write more songs with Krizan as well as new found collaborator Jay Jannuzzi. (Citizens Band Radio) With Krizan in a producer’s roll at his Sonic Boom Recording Studio in Raritan NJ they are currently writing and recording what is quickly becoming CC Coletti’s debut solo album and introduction to the world. The yet to be named album is said to have a classic, soulful, funky, rock feel with a tentative release date of August 2008.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All four bands can be seen below. Check them out, you'll be glad you did. I have been to over 100 different concerts from a variety of different artists and genres. I love Live Music! Good Music is like Gold Mined from the Minds of Mankind. On the film side of things. 4 of a Kind Productions is currently in preproduction of a screenplay that I wrote called Misc. Debris. From the very beginning, one of 4okp's major goals was to create a film. So I felt that I needed a film to create. I also wanted it to be something I could get behind 100%. I've always been fluent with my words, sense of humor, and ability to tell a story. I started writing Misc. Debris in January of 2005 and I believe that my final draft was completed in July of 2007. While the entertainment side of me wanted to write something that was funny and entertaining, the entrepreneurial side of me knew that I needed to come up with something that was easily marketable to an audience that I knew already existed. If you are a fan of the Jam Scene, YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS FILM!! (If I do say so myself.) My strengths are in business development, networking, persistence and creating a positive environment. The rest you'll have to figure out from the info/pics on my page or just asking me. Thanks for stopping by. -RMS
