   About Riyad Makes Music
i play Cadillac Fraf Songs. i play piano, and harp with Skitz O Fuel and the Beautiful Trainwreck. i play guitar and piano with Zen Motor Orchestra. i play drums with Word Up! I play bass with RMK. i play solo acoustic guitar at the yucatan taco stand... The second of four children born August 15, 1984 in Houston, Tx to Amalia (the artist) and Ramez (the professor). I almost ended my life in pursuit of a small plastic batman i dropped in a pool at age three. I remember sitting at the bottom of the pool holding the four inch blue and gray molded plastic with no intention of going anywhere. Luckily, my older brother, Ramy (the lawyer) decided i shouldn't be sitting at the bottom of filled up pools. He saved my life. We moved to Arlington, Tx in 1990. I fought a lot with my little sister, Katrina (the college student) when we were younger. Now we support each other however we can. In 1992 my little brother was born, Thomas (the tank engine genius). I remember him being the best audience. I would tumble and roll around making strange noises and he would laugh and laugh. Now he is 6'4. The times the are a - growing. The first cd i bought was in 1996. It was called FUNLAND BAND. Then a week later i bought TRIPPING DAISY - I AM AN ELASTIC FIRECRACKER. Two years later, while on the way to the mall with Ramy, i heard Sublime's Santeria on the radio. When the song finished Ramy turned the radio off and said, "you know that guy is dead, right?" "How can he be dead? I just heard him on the radio?" I bought every cd of theirs i could and spent the next six months learning every word. I picked up the guitar at 15 with the intention of knowing "Santeria" front and back. I met the kids that would change my life in 1998. Real good friends that have been hanging out for ten years now.. They can vouch for me. They are still around, closer to my heart than they know. We still play music together, except now it is less than more. I didn't go to Senior Prom, because i had a show in the Canyon Club (Bronco Bowl). They tore it down a year later. I think it is a Home Depot now. I went to UT Dallas for Arts and Performance in 2002. Graduated four years later. I miss the blue dux. I started making metal art in 2008 and i have a great gallery telling me to keep going called Haley-Henman in Oaklawn. I still have that first cd i ever bought...Every time i listen to it i go back to sixth grade. <> The future of music This is as many say a very exciting time in the evolution of human consciousness. At any moment clarity will fall upon us. It seems that the fates have been pulling quite a few strings...let me just say if you are alive and reading this it may very well be a miracle. To realize what has been done to make this world function is to realize how fragile the whole system is. Of course, we all would love to believe those mac trucks would keep on truckin and the trains, planes and automobiles will run on corn husks by 2010, but let me just ask you...how long can we sustain an outdated system? sometime soon, we may have a very limited means of transportation. sometime soon you might be wishing you were growing tomatoes instead of roses or roses instead of nothing, because beauty is not getting easier to find, and modern day definitions are morphing the meaning of words and those words are corrupting our thoughts. Why do i think lunesta when i see butterflies?? Of course i believe the best is yet to come i mean after all the future is unwritten, that is the best part, that anything could happen. at any moment clarity will confound this modern world.. i just think is all. i think about music more than i should when i could be thinking solutions, when i could be thinking ideas, when i could be thinking...i am thinking music, dreaming music...swear to god. the future of music will be your neighbor. the future of music will be organic. the future of music will be unstable. the future of music is ready. the future of music is you. The poetry of men has kindled the flames of revolutions since the dawn of civilization. Where are our poets today? Where the meanings we do not wish to fade stand so to do our bodies withstand. OUR mind is certain to follow. what must be done has begun to unfold. This world we will live in where trash is gold. Say a prayer that we make it through, will ya? Thanks for your time Now thanks to your heart for keeping you alive June 25, 2007 Cadillac Fraf Tribute

Great sounds, songs, and grooves!!!  Let's do some freakin' shows together!!!
Thanks for the Add!!! At this time the Band "ONE" (= Our +
New + Earth) is" re-tooling" and our new material and show are a bit harder
more aggressive...we are doing some small local shows here in the Lake
Arrowhead area to get rolling and work out the kinks.  

We will be recording our new EP with #4-5 New Songs for
release in early 2010!!!  We also have some #3 older of our older tracks from
our previous album just came out on an "Indie Bands Unite" compilation album
this month! We will keep you posted on shows in LA and OC and touring again –

Thanks for the Add!!!  Can’t wait for you to hear the new
songs!!!  All the LOVE to you and yours!!! 

A Viking Prayer…May the trade winds and good fortune fill
your sails…May the sun warm you and make bountiful the fields…May the seas be
calm and the nighttime skies be ever clear… For the stars to lead you to safe
harbor...

Kevin and ONE (The Band).
