Now Meet the Band:

Koser - Lead Vocals

Interesting fact: Koser used to run her own business selling computers, although we had to show her how to burn a cd, after she said “I don’t have the software!!!”

With an incredibly versatile and powerful vocal range, as well as an impressive portfolio of vocal styles to suit almost any genre of music, from classic, smooth soul to hard rock - there’s not much this lady can’t deliver with absolute confidence.

Matt - Lead Vocals & Guitar

Interesting fact: Matt still believes he is still 23 when he blatantly isn’t!

Matt Eaves has been playing guitar to an incredibly high standard for over 8 years . If that wasn't all his vocal talent has been compared to Paul Rodgers and Chris Cornell and just when you think there couldn't be more, you learn that he's also a solid bass player (with over 9 yrs experience) and that he's been impressing the masses with some serious keyboard skills for over 10 years.

Paul - Keyboards & backing vocals

Interesting fact: Although Paul is often thought to be in his 20’s he really is very old, so much so that he likes to be tucked up in bed by no later than 8.30pm.

Paul is an excellent classically trained pianist with over 10 years experience in the business. Equally at home pulling off classical solo performances as he is in the thick of it, Paul enjoys funking it up with the best of them.

Chris - Bass Guitar and the odd rap!

Interesting fact: Chris’s passion as you can see below, is funk (amongst other things!! ahem!!..). Funk comes from funky which means a really bad smell.

Chris has been a professional musician since March 2002 but has been playing music since he was just 8 years old and has known from a very young age that music was the career he wanted to pursue. He took up the bass aged 15 after many years of playing keyboards, from there his passion for groove was released. An accomplished bassist in his own right, Chris’s playing has been acknowledged by many, as a truly great bass player.
