Posted on January 28, 2012 at 1:00 AM

01 - Artist Name & Location = Treebo from West Palm Beach Florida

02 - How did the project come into existence? = When the band was formed 3- 4years ago, it was with the goal of playing original music? Through the years we were able to test market the songs in different venues, so it is only fitting that the next step would be to record these songs.

03 - Who are the members of the band if any and please tell us about it? = Noel Lorica-Originally from Manila, Acoustic / electric guitar, and avid composer with original albums under his belt

Arturo Afanador- Drums..From Bogota Colombia, Arturos inherent latin rhythm is intoxicating

Steve Constantino-a very talented multi dimensional Bass player from Boston

Ziarra Washington-Vocalist extraordinaire...this young singer can change directions on a dime...simply amazing

04 - How would you describe your sound/genre? = Eclectic sound and genre with jazz roots, and sociopolitical undertones.

05 - What formal training or previous experience do any of the members have?

  1.  Noel- Basic classical piano/guitar training
  2. Arturo- His drumming is instinctively Latin
  3. Steve- Self Taught, previous band experience
  4. Ziarra- Self Taught, comes from a family of musicians

06 - Are you working w/ a producer on your upcoming album? = Absolutely.

07 - Who would you say has been the biggest influence on the bands sound or that you have used as inspiration for your music? = The answer lies on composer Noel Loricas eclectic preference...his jazz roots are evident on some of the composition, with regards to influences there is no single sound/artist that we can identify with.

08 - What advice would you give to others starting out? = Be true to yourself musically and Practice, Practice, Practice!!!!

09 - Where can people go to learn more about you and hear your music? = www.Treeboband.com

10 - If you could play anywhere in the world or with anyone you wanted where and who would it be with? = We're new, we're not picky. The Grammy Awards or the SuperBowl will do:) Seriously, you want to be able to play with the best, wherever and whoever, whether it's Mariah , George Benson, Maroon 5 , Lea Salonga , Dianne Reeves, Lady GaGa or Lady Antebellum. Whomever has achieved the highest level in their field & craft. It wouldn't hurt to have an audience of 50 thousand either.

11 - What has been your greatest experience so far either individually or as a whole? = So far the camaraderie within the band both musically and personally is very satisfying and musically stimulating.

12 - Do you have any upcoming events or news you would like to tell our readers about? = We have just released our debut album, self titled "Treebo" And are releasing some videos in Youtube in the next couple of weeks...we have shows scheduled from January to June so far (web site have the list)

13 - Where do you see yourselves or hope to be in about 5 years? = We are hoping that a major studio or producer, A&R professional or tour would have picked us up by then, and have national recognition for our songs
