简介

Audiodrone is the debut collaborative music project from electronic music wiz kid, Michael Alan and soul influenced rock singer/songwriter, Corey Andrew. Their electronic New Wave flavored debut CD, Arrival pays homage to the carefree radio days of the 80’s and early 90’s while progressively moving forward with contemporary music production and infectious hook laden songs. With musical influences ranging from; New Order and Human League, to Missing Persons and The Pet Shop Boys, Audiodrone is destined to be at the forefront of the next synth-pop generation Originally from Muskegon, Michigan, Michael’s interest in music began well before his pre-teen years. By young adulthood, the self taught percussionist had developed a strong passion for performing. Deciding to hone his craft, Michael relocated to Boston in 1998 to attend the world renowned Berklee College of Music. Feeling the constraints that structured academia can often place upon pure creativity; Michael decided that “real life” would be the teacher to better shape and mold his musical ambitions. His next relocation led him to Chicago where his passion for electronic dance music flourished as did his skills as a composer and producer. Michael made a name for himself as a musical innovator on the Chicago club scene, wowing crowds with his fusion of live percussion and electronic dance music. Soon, the thriving New York City music scene would become the next natural destination of Michael’s journey. With his keen fashion sense and personal style Michael landed “day jobs” at top NY fashion boutiques such as Calvin Klein and the prestigious department store, Saks 5th Avenue. While continuing to write and record demos of his original music, it was at Saks 5th Avenue that Michael would meet eclectic performer, Corey Andrew. Originally from Trenton, New Jersey, Corey Andrew is a multifaceted performer. He began writing songs at 12 years old and began recording demos with local collaborators by the start of his teenage years. His early days in New York City included stints in acting and stand up comedy, with performances in some of New York’s top comedy clubs including Caroline’s. He also appeared on the hit television show BET’s Comic View. Despite Corey’s varied entertainment interests, music would remain his first and strongest passion. In 2003 Corey released his independent debut CD; We’re all stars on Xcalibur Records. The soul influenced rock collection of original material drew comparisons to Lenny Kravitz and Seal as it gained CMJ college charts and rotations on public radio. To promote We’re All Stars, Corey took the show on the road with his 5 member band in 2004 performing at major events such as the Dewey Beach Music festival, and Camp Jeep West Virgina featuring headliner, Michelle Branch. As an artist always looking to expand in new musical directions, Corey leapt at the opportunity to begin writing new music with Michael Alan. Almost immediately the duo realized they shared numerous musical influences, and together they began creating tracks at Michael’s Harlem neighborhood home studio. Initially they simply planned on recording a 3 song EP, but after a few months in the studio they realized that they were on to something much bigger. Twelve songs later Audiodrone is here, so get ready for their arrival!
