Always Believe

About Me

January, the beginning of many things to most, but for the band, it’s a simple approach to music. The meaning behind January is pure and honest. The concept started one day when lead singer Gabriel was standing over looking a crowd of people celebrating during a New Year’s party. He thought it was the perfect moment. Everything becomes brand new again and the beginning of a new you emerges from within.Experimentation has transformed January’s music from alternative rock to the soulful sounds of Jazzy Rock as defined in Just a Kid and Amazing. January conveys many honest experiences, but with one message: If life ever tries to get the best of you, always stop and think…things will be better when January comes around.The band has had its share of success playing venues such as The Indy 500 tour, Dade and Broward County Festivals and Professional sporting events. January was fortunate enough in 2005 to have been picked as Pepsi’s Top 25 band in a nation wide contest and won the Vizcaya Battle of the bands sponsored by Virgin Music. In 2006 the song “Just a Kid” was played on a feature show on ESPN for a hockey documentary on a player going back to his roots. January also was hand picked one of the top 5 finalist to open up for Bon Jovi from thousand’s of Florida bands. Jacob Gabriel and JP Romano were able to put together an amazing group of guys. January consists of Jacob Gabriel (vocals) JP Romano, (guitar) Castor Pauls, (Keyboards) Curtis Lewis, (bass/vocals) and Zeus (drums). Each member was hand picked and they truly bring a unique essential part to create the January sound. Gabriel’s captivating melodies, JP’s smooth touch, Pablo’s sultry edge, Curtis’s solid bass lines, and Zeus’s aggressive style is what keeps the sound intact. January wants to be the shoulder you could lean on when the day seems to have no up side. Just sit back relax and let yourself go. Don’t let the problems of the world consume you. Put it all on the backburner and look ahead for better days are sure to come. Just like a perfect calendar day with a new beginning there is always time for change.
