  • Bio

    ........ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ................................ I was born in Watertown, NY but grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts. The same home town as chef Emeril Lagasse, "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos and Lizzie Borden (the axe murderer not the band). I now live south of Boston and have been part of the New England music scene for more than 25 years. I have played bass in various bands playing rock, blues, jazz and country. Blues guitarist Elvin Bishop is my cousin. Another cousin of mine, Joe Lahoud, played 11 seasons of major league baseball, including several with the Boston Red Sox. I have played nationally at more than 3,000 shows including several benefits with The Dan Lawson Band to raise money for families who lost loved ones during the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. I have also performed at the Nashville New Music Conference, "Bike Week" in Laconia, NH, Myrtle Beach, SC, and on the HBO original series "Family Bonds". I have worked with and/or opened for many national acts including Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, Billy Squier, Jimmie Van Zant and many others. In 2003, I was a technical advisor for the "Night of Healing Concert" in Providence, RI which was held to raise money for the victims of The Station Night Club fire. This hugely successful event included performances by such noteworthy artists as Mark Farner, Rick Derringer, Vanilla Fudge, Blue Oyster Cult, Paul Shortino and many other well known acts. (The Station Night Club caught fire on 2/20/03 during a performance by Great White. 100 people were killed and more than 200 were injured). In addition to playing music, I am an avid ice hockey player and have competed in tournaments in the United States and Canada. In 2006, I was a contributing writer to Hockey-Wire.com and I am currently an analyst for the popular MVN.com radio program "The Hockey Ticket". I am also vice president of operations, marketing and business development for Music Media Solutions. We provide music for movies, television, websites, corporate videos and live performers for concert and touring support. Our clients include such high profile companies as FOX Sports New England, Advance Music Group, Hockey-Wire.com, Daybreak productions and many more. In 2007, we provided much of the music for the Comcast Sports Net original series "Celebrity Build" which featured Matt Light of the New England Patriots and John Runyan of the Philadelphia Eagles. I am also working with Harry R. Vance at Advance Music Group in Nashville and Allen Day at Daybreak Production in Ohio to produce a concert tour to raise money and awareness for wounded military veterans and their families. Country Music Superstar Lee Greenwood, Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), Billy "Thunder" Mason (drummer for Tim McGraw) and Doc Gibbs of The Emeril Live Band have all voiced support for this project.

    Hi Kevin Mello. EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs make its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out! Thanks a lot for the attention and support. Keep in touch.

    Kisses from Brazil,
    Marie
