I am Dana Marzovilla and I am the man behind It Means Everything. My current residence is in Rochester, NY where I have been born and raised. I write honest lyrics about things that most people can relate to. The main idea behind my songs is to be true to yourself, don't be afraid to stand up for what you think is right, and don't be afraid to call people out (even yourself) if it is for their own good. Some religious undertones are present due to the fact that I am a practicing Roman Catholic. This is currently being used as another outlet for material that I have written that doesn't really fit with my current alternative rock band April's Fool. These songs are the results of jamming with other musicians I know, or just sitting in my basement with my guitar. Though I am the only musician you hear on the recordings the idea of this project is to share the stage with some others, even if just for one night, to change things up for live shows and events. I would appreciate any feedback you have on the material or the project as a whole. Don't be afraid to drop me messages, leave me comments, be my friend, and tell your friends. I am always looking for a good show to play. Take Care.
Peace,
Dana Marzovilla

Hey man, thanks again for coming out to the Spot last night! Loved seeing you there. Sorry I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off... soooo many things to do at a show. Anyhow, I talked with Dave and Chris, and they may be able to accompany me on the 11th; Liana might too, so we may be able to play a near-Sinks show! I know fliers are out, but it'll be sweet if it works! Thanks again.
