Rant is the first featured artist at Googie Records. As a singer-songwriter we think Rant
is the Rave! Rant's songs tell interesting stories with his beautifully crafted lyrics and melodies. Rant's songwriting is full of imagery and simplicity yet his themes are often complex as well as extremely clever! Rant's singer songwriter style can be compared to a hybrid of artists such as Hawksley Workman, XTC, Jon Anderson, Sting, James Blunt, Jack Johnson, Keane, Fallout Boy, The Killers and many other artists. Why so many influences? Being an engineer, Rant is constantly listening to as much music as he can in order to stay current and keep his ears tuned in. Great singer songwriters are extremely rare. Most singer songwriters are either stronger as a singer or as a songwriter. Rant has strength as both singer and songwriter, much like Sting is a great singer songwriter. Sting's lyrics are always clever and his voice always distnct. What's great about Rant is that this is his debut CD and we know his singing and his voice will improve still! We also are sure his songwriting will develop to full maturity and we look forward to many years of Rant's music.
Rant is a musician's musician. He is well revered by his peers. With so many singer songwriters around today it's hard to get noticed unless you have more than just talent as a singer and songwriter. Rant is a master engineer as well! That is why Rant stands out in the crowd. His mixes are slick and commercially appealing. He accomplishes what a major record label produces all independently with his modest studio setup. Rant's 'Golden Ears' are his biggest asset. It gives him an edge over other singer songwriters. He has spent years perfecting his craft. From what goes into the mixing board to what comes out of the speakers, Rant takes control. So there it is, a little about Rant, the singer songwriter engineer and mixing genius! We look forward to his next CD already and we haven't even released his first!
Looking ahead for Googie Records there is a hot new band that we are working with now that will be the hottest new band to come along since The Police! We can't tell you much about them now but you will be surprised when you find out who this hot new band is! We are hoping to release their killer debut CD in 2007! We are pleased to bring you all the hottest new artist that we believe will make a big difference in the music industry.
