Artist Summary
Artist Bio
The year (I hope I have this right) is 2008 and Azriahl is playing solo shows with acoustic in hand and carving out a path as a renowned and talented solo artist. Jump ahead to July 2011 and through the door enters ex oDD wORld drummer Robbie Rogers bringing with him, ex Black Meat Powder lead guitarist Paul Tikkanen breaking new ground and creating the "new" Azriahl. Added with the immense sound of Jimi Baldwin on bass and Kyle Vaughan on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, Azriahl has now become complete.
More About Azriahl
“With Guitar in hand and miles of road ahead, Azriahl brushes off road-salt grit as he takes the stage and smiles…”
"Jura Shepard, Symbiotic entertainment"
Azriahl brings a knife’s edge to an intimate solo acoustic performance as well as power and command in full band format. This is not the usual strumming balladeer. Soulful curios sifted from post-grunge rubble combine with Azriahl's earthy candor to create rich songs and lyrical imagery. As broad as Azriahl's northern home land, Azriahl’s influences span the edgy rock of Alice in Chains, introspect of Radiohead, and gives a respectful nod to storytellers like Bob Dylan.
More than a decade behind the microphone has given Azriahl an easy going but seasoned stage presence that engages the audience. Azriahl has the experience and instinct to absorb a crowd’s energy and give it back in any performance. Azriahl thrives on it in fact and lively performances and approachability make Azriahl a crowd favorite anywhere.
Some say that music is a life style.
Music is an extension of the soul, Its passion in its rawest most expressive form.
There are artists who devote they're entire lives to music and get nothing more than the satisfaction of knowing they have shown they're work.
Personally i consider myself one.
When im on the stage, The more listeners there are the better i perform.
I feed of the energy of the crowd and give them everything they want.
My music is what i would consider bardic.
I write stories about things in my life, Or of the lives of others..
Then i feel for the emotion of the song and write the music.
