"CORPORATE ANGEL" (C.A.) IS A STUDIO/SOLO PROJECT ...readying to get out of the studio and in your presence "live" as a full-band this FALL 2008!!! Auditions are coming to a close and things are looking very promising
Hi Everyone, I've been working very hard (since 1992) to record my products, write great songs and basically bust my *ss for what I love to do!
I've sold many studio products adding a lot of digital tracks yet its been very gradual through the years... which is not a complaint!!! It's just simply the time for "CORPORATE ANGEL" to get some big-time attention
Since I'm desiring more word of mouth and promotion, I'm choosing to sell tracks at a very low affordable price; making them more accessible to you.
Discover C.A. for yourself by giving the songs a listen - - I assure you... you'll absolutely find something to enjoy!! ...What have you got to lose?
...SPREAD THE WORD!!!
Thanks everyone,
Douglas S Luna
(aka "Corporate Angel")
BY INTENTION, YOU ARE THE ARTIST/CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS YOUR LIFE... THE CREATION YOU ARE CULTIVATING IS [YOU] AND ALL THE THINGS YOU WILL BECOME!!!
Updates, News, and Events...
Want to book us for your club, party, as an opener, unplugged/acoustic, and or full throttle (plugged: electric guitar and acoustic mix, minor percussions adding sequenced acoustic guitar), ...whatever?
Just ask and maybe we'll do it - [wink wink] !!! You'll absolutely be amazed how good we sound... yet we ask so little in return!!!
Check for our "Upcoming Shows" - above; on right!! Shows booked as of this time will be far and few between as it's crunch/audition time yet there are some smaller shows listed in June, July, and August; I am also adding any known appearances at open mic/jam nights (check back often as details and locations change quickly).
3/29/2008, sadly the trio "DreamPool" after 13 headlining shows has fragmented. The live performances and the music* were well received (*29 of 30 songs were C.A.music) - - From here on in we'll forever go by the title "Corporate Angel" - no more hiding under different identities!!
4/2008, C.A. has officially (second time in 16 years) risen out of the studio to be a "live" musical entity once again, bringing its brand of music to the "Milwaukee/Southeastern WI" area. Over 45 songs, (2) official products and a home recorded four song "EP".
My humble "Thank You!!" to all the individuals that donate their talents to me and my solo project!! 2008 [C.A.] "live" ...THANX JESSE LEE!!!
Yes there is also good news... C.A. music has proven itself time and time again by capturing the hearts and souls of many recent audiences; sales are now well over 4,500 copies of the studio products and over 5,550 digital singles since its origin, it’s safe to say, "People enjoy this music !!!"
12/8/2007 "DP" secured a live television show "Rockin’ The Cable Show". This one hour program aired 20 times throughout 12/07 - 2/08. Thanks Laurie Muffler (Host)!!! FYI: A few weeks prior to our taping, my favorite all-time singer/songwriters, Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) was on the program!! Kind of makes it even more surreal!!
In closing... When given a chance, Jesse and I "The Dynamic Duo" never disappoint the club owners and or fans; always putting out quality, style and original music that everyone can enjoy - gotta love technology (pre-recorded acoustic) !
"CORPORATE ANGEL"
An all original "Studio/Solo Project" with one person at the helm - Douglas S. Luna. Of course that’s before others have helped out at the studio level, adding those who were/are in the "live" factions of this project!! Thanks All... you know who you are!!!
As for me, my main thing is guitar and writing [yet] because of my determination for writing lyrics and music – I’ve had to kick it up a notch by taking my intentions even further which ultimately lead me to singing (lead and backing), playing basic keyboards and bass; basically, doing whatever it took/takes to get the music out of my head and finally recorded!! It’s safe to say, "I’m driven!!" which makes for meeting a lot of wonderful musical friends ...yet sadly also makes for musical bumping of heads and falling outs.
..."Rockin’ In The Free World!!"
So is this new music? Absolutely! Ground breaking or something never done before? That’s entirely up to you the listener! It is and was simply the best I could do using my talents and the songs/bands that have influenced me.
Original Style
My personal writing genre is "Sentient Rock" ...passionate and dynamic; a blending of acoustic and electric guitars, having a climax; capable of feeling (spiritual?). Sounds a bit crazy huh? Maybe, but it’s true for me and also for a lot of people who’ve seen this project live.
PROJECT HISTORY - - (Part 1: 1992 - 1999 ; Part 2: 2002 - Now)
------------------------------ " CORPORATE ANGEL " -------------------------
(a uniting for a common ideal... by a guiding essence - MUSIC)
C.A. started out as a result of my need to take music seriously!! Music for me was never a reason to party; it was more of a celebration and or an avenue to express my thoughts, hopes, and dreams; to freely give a little bit of myself to whomever would/may listen.
So what does one do to be taken seriously? Hm? I guess, hit the road, be true to oneself and pay the dues!!
After 16 plus years of busting *ss in the music biz (drug free and sober 98% of the way)(31 years total) I’ve accumulated many memories both awesome and not so awesome ...through these my adventures.
I've played out everywhere imaginable, in and with many great bands/projects throughout the years, adding the many music friends and fans I’ve met along the way. WOW!!
Recording Corporate Angel's (two) Cd’s and (one) EP have been both wonderful and strenuous; tough stuff folks.
However none of these accomplished what I set out to achieve... "Music As My Career". I’ll get over it!!! (I'm not crying... I'm not crying!!! - LMAO!!)
Corporate Angel’s best achievement as a "live" act?
Playing 25 shows including 2 dates at Summerfest 1999 (July 2nd/3rd) its first 6 month’s out as an official band ...not bad for an all original band in Milwaukee, WI.!!! ...Not bad at all!!!
So what happened next?
Well I’ll admit... I couldn’t take the pressure and drama anymore [so] for about 3 years I gave up entirely, only to find that I couldn’t do without at least writing and playing for myself!

(2) professional studio products as recorded by Corporate Angel:
"Spell You’re Under" (8/1995)
- This, my first recording was a venture to assemble originals I had written in the late 80's early 90's while in other bands. To hopefully capture as best as I could [at that time] my intentions as a writer - as well as to hopefully offer up some guitar skills. Kudos to drummer "Dawn K." - an absolute force to be reckoned with; Unbelievable!!! I couldn’t have done it without her!!!
"Luna"(1/1999)
- The second recording; compared to a modern day "Classic Rock" with references to the ethereal refinement and style of Pink Floyd (Winter's Mourn/Do You Want To?).
This cd was to be my personal [100%] effort at writing (*actually being able to play all the instruments except for the drums).
In the end, I recorded all guitars (except secondary acoustic tracks and the solo in "Major Mush" - P.T. James), singing all lead vocals, and 99% of the backing vocals. I was also manager, promoter, financier, designer/photographer – cd’s jacket and last but not least... in the studio, I was producer/co-engineered with the awesome, award winning "Bill Stace"...I must have been crazy to think I could pull this whole thing off!
For me this was quite the endeavor and proved to be more than I bargained for... yet somehow the recording was completed and a band was assembled in the process; it took 4 plus years to finally play this material out live!!! Whoever said, "Money for nothin’ and chicks for free!!!" - ouch!!!
I feel, anyone who has read this "Bio" of sorts should give at least one song [maybe even two] a listen - I think you’ll appreciate the music even more ...knowing the latter story behind the processes!
