A manager that consistently sends me quality artists, emailed me a few weeks ago about a rare “find”, that I had to read about right away. This one contact always sends me great talent, so I’m eager to open his emails, since the artist he’s bringing me will surely be one of those that I should be watching.  I… read more

I’m at a loss about where to start when it comes to Meital Dohan. I mean, I’ve rewrote this line ten times already, and I can only think of, “I’m at a loss about where to start…” Odd, I know but let me say that rarely do you get to interview a person with such an impressive record of… read more

Two weeks ago, I had the chance to speak with New York based artist Ari Hest, a voice that has become legendary in the modern singer/songwriter world.  If you’re not familiar with what the “modern singer/songwriter world” is, then turn off MTV, ignore anything with auto-tune attached to the vocals and listen to artists like, Ray LaMontagne, Donavon Frankenreiter,… read more

Having music around me nearly 24/7 (including the Wiggles, via my two and half year old daughter), I sometimes get in a zone where sounds start to run together; voices seem the same, beats seem repetitive and I need to constantly switch from artist to artist in order to keep going. Then an email about Mikey Wax was sent… read more

And in all my interviews, they either love road… read more

If there is one thing you can learn about me from my articles, it’s that I am a BIG fan of chasing your dreams. I love the pursuit, I love the hunt and I love it even more when it all works out.  In my beautiful tenure with PensEyeView.com, I’ve had the incredibly fortunate opportunity to come across some… read more

“This is the only life I know how to live,” says 27 year old, Zack Borer when asked if he always knew music would be his career one day. It’s an honest answer from an overwhelming grateful singer-songwriter, who is being compared to everyone from O.A.R. to Kings of Leon. As if such high comparisons aren’t praise enough, Borer’s… read more

I’ve interviewed over 600 artists and bands in three years and let me tell you, sometimes it’s not as fun as it sounds. Don’t get me wrong, PensEyeView.com is the best job in the world - I’ve sat down with bands that I used to wait in line for hours at their concerts – so I’m not complaining about… read more

Each band has a unique story about how they formed. Without question, their discovery always beings with ‘Where they were, Where they weren’t and What finally brought them to find one another’. The members have different answers for the first two but the last part -‘What brought the band together?’ - is always answered with the same pride, excitement… read more
