For Contact info please email us at iamacitizen@gmail.com .. CITIZEN began as a dream, as most great musical ventures do, but the band's origin is far from ordinary. The band is a collaborative effort by front man Luke Page and the rest of the group. Luke descends from a pastoral family and has been a worship leader since he was twelve years old. He left the Tooth And Nail rockers, Watashi Wa in 2004 to pursue his faith and a dream in ministry and to reach out to those in need. The rest of the band mates, JustinRucker (bass), Sean Dee (drums), Jenna Dee (keys/vox) and Grant Whiting (lead guitar/vox) are members of Page's worship team. CITIZEN really began in late 2008 when the band began writing and playing original songs after weekly worship practices. With their first performance occurring at midnight of January 1st 2009, an informal gig at a New Year celebration. The response was positive and the group was determined to reach the world though their music. "I've always had a passion for music," Justin Rucker, bassist and official business manager for CITIZEN says, "but its more than music, we really want our music to inspire and impact people. Beyond the song, to give people a hope and something to hold on to." The vision of the band is simple. Reach people and inspire them to believe for something greater than the status-quo, and to not be afraid to go after it. Never give in to discouragement, but press forward, knowing that God is available to accomplish the things we can't. "We have a heart to really honor God first with our music, and we want our music to bless others," Says Jenna Dee, classically trained concert pianist turned keyboard player. "Music reaches a person in a way that words can't," says Luke Page, "and every generation has a sound that marks them. We want to make a sound that impacts and defines the heart cry of our generation." After the band's debut self-titled EP release in 2010, they aspire to continually improve their songwriting and live performance. They continue gaining experience playing in front of virtually any audience, ranging from packed-out acoustic shows at coffee shops or bringing a positive message to the club and bar scene, to big stages at Christian Festivals like Spirit West Coast and Church conventions with over 5,000(+) attendees. You can easily find them writing new material, booking new gigs and working hard to gain an internet and social media presence. In the current state of the industry its rare to find groups who are more than a marketing scheme, and out there just to make money. But these 5 best friends, with the chemistry and the individual drive to make a difference, stand above the norm in that regard. It certainly shows in the maturity and sincerity of their latest EP release "The Heartbeat." "The music is sincere, not over-the-top and singable," says Sean Dee the band's drummer, "It really moves you, the message, the sound, Its what we love." Looking forwarding to a bright future, CITIZEN will continue to play from the heart. Determined to break through to a new generation.
