About Me

Mason Tikl performing a modified cover of Joey Eppard's "Amaze Disgrace"
Instrumental and mixed music by Mason Tikl, of Ontario Canada.
Songs might not be top quality on this myspace player. This is because stupid myspace wont let me upload more than 10mbs. It's stupid I know. Anyways, just thought I'd let you know.
I have been writing, producing, and performing my own music for nearly eight years, while playing guitar for 10. I know my way around the music business and have many connections to famous and successful musicians.
When I write music I tend to add a natural progressive feel, being that it makes the song more of a story rather than just a catchy beat, however I can make music that will stick in peoples minds forever.
I'm being featured in an upcoming promotional DVD for a large-scale product out of California, USA. This should be released and announced within the next year.
At the moment I am working with a working band and we are soon to be ready for touring. It is a more metal-based band.
I am into all kinds of music, and do not have any limitations within my writing.
Keep close watch to the page for more updates!
It is influenced by many different sources and continues to influence others.
Currently on the page I only have instrumental songs.br
