Hey. My name's Chandra. I'm a singer-songwriter and front man writing Pop-Rock music.
What does 'Pop-Rock' mean? It means upbeat, sing-along rock songs. Think of a really catchy, energetic, upbeat rock song that a crowd can really get into... that's Pop-Rock.
I'm insanely passionate about music; writing, recording, producing, performing. I live to be on-stage performing to big crowds who are having fun BECAUSE of the performance I am putting on. At the moment I'm on my own playing guiitar with a backing track but that doesn't stop me performing. Here's a clip of a set at a festival recently:

I lived just outside London for a long time but recently moved to the outskirts of Yate (close to Bath, Bristol etc) to be closer to family.
On April 28th I released my first single, 'Lighters To The Sky'.
It is currently on 21,000 Spotify streams with 5,100 monthly listeners across 42 Playlists, and was playlisted on 20 radio stations and had loads of press.

Here's just a few quotes from the press and you can see the rest here:
Press Page
"I love how confident your style feels and the melody is so catchy"
KASEY'S PLAYLISTS
"It just lifts up the spirit creating such a rushful feel"

"A brilliant piece of music with sublime vibes"
COMMON SENSE (music blog)
"Uplifting and energetic"

The second single Pretty launches on 4th August. You can hear the song here at the bottom. This song is a pretty accurate reference point for my sound.
My plan is to release a single every 8-10 weeks, each one with PR and Playlisting support, and each one building and building.
BUT I need a band with me on the journey. The next single is out at the start of August but beyond that I want to be able to play these songs live and collaborate on the songwriting.
Here's what I'm looking for:
- Lead Guitarist, Bassist, Drummer
- You need to want to achieve something great. It's all about having fun and enjoying ourselves but there needs to be a little monster inside you that thinks this could be more
- You need to be able to commit to rehearsals, recording sessions when necessary and (of course) gigs
- You need to be able to get around with your equipment. I will not be playing taxi driver!
- Musical taste is always a tough one. I grew up with rock and brit-pop (REM, U2, Killers, Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, Oasis, Chillis, Blur etc etc) but my musical tastes range massively from Bowie, to House, to Pop (Daft Punk, Pink, Tame Impala, the list goes on and on). You can get a good idea of what style I write from the recordings I've done so far (check out the audio for 'Lighters To The Sky' and 'Pretty', below). It goes without saying that you need to feel a connection with what I'm doing.
Over the years I've found that it's immediately clear whether something like this will work as soon as we've had a drink together.
So if you think you're interested, get in touch, and let's have a beer!
