Sounds Like
just sounds like music written in a garage on another planet..maybe..or it might sound like something that crept out of the backwoods..either way,it's gotta be heard..
This is a beginning for me and hopefully a pathway from inevitable obscurity. It seems helpless to be stuck in solitude without an internet address to call home. To begin my story,it was truly may 88' that i first began to call myself a bass player. My first couple of years were not one's spent feverishly practicing..mostly playing in bands and bars.it was early 90'that i began to learn how to practice and to concentrate on improving myself. I remember listening to great guitarists, and bassists, bands, etc... names like Billy Sheehan, Geddy Lee, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Racer X, Cacophony, and a really incredible bassist named Doug Keyser who played in Watchtower but the most important influence as far as inspiration had to be Rush. I came from such a small town, that practicing was easier because there wasn't much else to do! I practiced from 8 to 10 hours a day for a couple of years straight. I formed a mutual alliance with some other accomplished musicians who i also rehearsed and recorded with,until my alliance expired!!! But in may 92' i had managed to appear (thanks to Mike Varney) in the "SPOTLIGHT COLUMN" in guitar player magazine. Mike also helped me gain an endorsement with "CARVIN" guitars. This lasted until 94' which is when my passion for music began to recede... from late 94' to mid 99' my bass slept!!! Circumstances and time that flows like a never ending river, pushed me all the way to the year 99'. It was the year we were quickly approaching the millenium. Suddenly my drive came back... I created a demo and sent it around the world. A big thank you to Francesco Fareri who has been a great friend and inspiration also... that guy can pick!!!
SOLO ALBUMS
COLLABORATIONS
Musicians or bands contact me if you want me to play on your demo or album release.
We can work that out! I'm looking forward to record albums with other established musicians.
I like to work via computer/emails files also that is a big plus when it comes to record with me.

Hi kyle honea, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
