-and most importantly...the Sounds in my Head!
Please note: My music is not an amalgamation of these artist's songs...My music is whatever I make of it, however, these talented artists are the main source of my musical inspiration, thus, somewhat influencing my music...
Sounds Like
...A frustrated musician turned Sound Engineer/Producer trying to make sounds that resemble music...
Well...Where to start? My name is Anthony Joseph Pagán (Most people just call me Joey). I'm from Carolina, PR. Although I'm mostly concentrating nowdays in recording/producing local bands (TEN'on Studios), I'm also a musician. I'm devoting this page to my original material, however, I'll most likely be cooperating with one or two local music efforts...amongst other things. Also, I'm currently in the process of conquering the world...(Muahuahahahaha!)
P.S. And just in case...Yes...I was the Bass Player for Hilo de Plata (Nü Metal) and An Astonishing End (MetalCore). Also had quick stints with Anakainosis (Power/Progressive Metal), Senium (Gothic Doom Metal) and In Emptiness (Black/Death Metal) as well as being the emergency stand-in guitarist/bassist for Rope Jumping Champions (Experimental New Wave American Heavy Metal) and Undying Prospects (Rock/Metal). Also, I stand as the Session bassist for Marchantia (a.k.a. Monica's Band) (Rock/Pop) & Amore Ad Lunam (Goth Rock).
For the curious, here's a list of the Artists/Bands I've worked with that feature my work in their profiles:
