Sozo Heaven is Andrew Bates.
Andrew uses many different forms of instrumentation apart from the traditional guitars, synths and beats to create a variety of moods that are designed to be easy on the ear and stimuate emotional responses.
Andrew: 'I'm very passionate about feeling and atmosphere, I perceive sounds and chords as different flavours and colours in my mind, and this is what I endeavour to put into my work, the listener is invited to interpret the music in their own way and if I can touch the soul and feed the senses, I've achieved my purpose'

Hello, Andrew, I came back for a better listen to your tracks. They are superb, enjoyable and very uplifting! Not to mention, recorded very well. I'll be back!
Hi friend Sozo Heaven!!! A year has passed since I made my music page, I'm so glad you're part of it without your support this would not make sense, this is why my thanks.
Thanks again, and I will continue visiting their website as a sign of mutual appreciation ;) The music is fantastic, and we are all part of it, cheers! ;P
Thanks Sozo, I hope you are having a great week. You can find the full versions of my tracks on my official site (www.ArturoMayorga.com). I'd love to hear what you think of the site.
Thanks for listening to my music and for the nice comments. I've been listening through your tracks and they are very interesting to say the least, I must say it's been a pleasure. With all my best wishes..Luciano
