About Me

Now that Strapping Young Lad is... well... um... over, I am focusing on writing songs for film, TV and video games as well as my upcoming country/rock/alternative project "The Murray Dean Band". We have already written 7 incredible tunes! I will post some demos soon. I plan on having a lot of fun this summer. After my trip to Maui in April, I have gained a new appreciation for sand and sun. I think I will be spending a lot of time at the beach with the gorgeous fiance (Janika), and the dog. As far as everything else... the daughter is growing up fast, the new Volvo is running great and I am going to see the Police reunion tour...2nd row!!!

My Interests

Guitar, Keyboards, Spending Time with My Fiance Janika (a.k.a. neeka), Snowboarding, Volvos, German Pointers, Old School BMX
