Hi, I'm a cat named Vel. I live in Cleveland,OH. I chase mice and write songs. I bet you didn't know we could do that. However, I did have to change to my human form so I could play the instruments. If you want to see what I look like as a human, just visit my website: www,myspace.com/velayasha. Every artist has their influenzas...um...I mean their influences. The challenge for an artist is to not become "copycats" of those we like. When you hear my album, it will become obvious that Blondie, Prince, [old] Metallica, The Cure and the Ramones, have all ripped off my unique sound! They still have not paid me any royalties either. If you see any of these bands, tell them that for a few cans of tuna, I'm willing to call it even. Some people have a problem with my song topics. They say,"Vel, you should write songs with deep messages! Save the world...world peace...etc." To them I say this: I'm a cat. If you want songs about world peace, go see Bono from U2. By the way, I love U2. I wish I could sing like Bono,for real. My songs are about my obsession with Molly Ringwald, and the time Emenim and Dr. Dre chased me through the streets of Detroit, and my arrest in Cleveland for starting a riot over gas prices. [ yes, cats drive too]. I have other cool songs so I encourage you to check it out. If you like it, buy it. Cat food is expensive these days, your purchase would help me eat better. If not, I will rummage through your garbage can and make a big mess. Bye everybody. Meow!
