Originally from the north (NJ/NY area), moved to FL in 2001 and started making music in 2004. Started out as “DJRM”, solo Industrial music project, got into a girl band playing guitar called “The Monas” for a brief moment in time, started in another band called Slowing Inertia as the guitarist for that for about a year and started a side project with the singer doing electronic music named “Inbox”. Left Slowing Inertia when they turned into “Between Lives” (and continued to ”Start Change Stop” and now “Tides of Man”) and started “The Shades”, played several shows in FL with that band as singer, guitarist and bass for two years. Put that band on hold, all the while still making music as “DJRM”. DJed at a few small places as “DJRM” and got a bit of radio play last year off the album “Dissonance” following an interview on 88.5 WMNF for the show ZenTrip. I started recording other artists in a studio downtown Clearwater as “Pernicious Records” briefly and then I decided to contribute to the modern club scene with The Studio Band Headliner. I put all of my projects under the Pernicious Records label and have been working hard on getting recognition for The Studio Band Headliner. The sole, REAL band member of TSBH is, I will let you in on this secret, just me, James Makan; but Erik Eisenman, bassist, guitarist and vocalist from “The Shades” has agreed to help me play for the purpose of live shows during tours as well a few other friends I have played music with throughout the years. I have a good feedback ratio for this band of about 100:1 and I have gotten a few DJs to add my music to their playlists for their own shows. So far, as this band’s birthdate is December of 2008, the recorded discography is just the EP “Short Cut” – but later in 2009 the album ”F***, Marry, Murder” will be released and a tour will be thrown out for the promotion of that album’s release immediately after.
