MAD JAX 69

Mass Mental Cruelty Project

MASS MENTAL CRUELTY was something that came out of a recording session I did.  I had started singing Karaoke in 1999 and started to get more comfortable with my singing ability and singing in front of people again.  I was working for Chick Corea at the time so I had access to his studio (MAD HATTER STUDIOS) and I took advantage of recording some songs there. Prior to that, I had done a cover of Wonderful Tonight in '93 with a band called THE TORCH.  I have it but it's on one of those mini cd's and I can't get it to work on anything now.  In '95 I recorded You And Me on a 4-track and it was released on an independent release called WE'RE ALL CLONES - A TRIBUTE TO ALICE COOPER, and I did The Letter at MAD HATTER STUDIOS.  Then in '99, I just started doing songs whenever time allowed.  At the end of 2007, I started writing my own songs. The first one was Double Oh 69 which was just me goofing on a guitar.  Then I sat down one day and did the music for Can You Feel It and then wrote the lyrics to it right after and recorded the vocals.  Then I just did instrumental stuff from there on out.  Starting with Benji's Song, Don't Answer The Phone and Stormy Night. Sometime in 2009 I did Stormy Night Pt 2. I'm planning on having MASS MENTAL CRUELTY 4 done by the end of the year.  Need some studio time! 

 I want to thank Janet Valdez, Eric Allan-Wilcox, Lee Gordon, Chuck Willett, Kathy Braceland and Mike Weaver for boosting my confidence and pushing me.  If you have one of my CD's, I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed recording them.
