I am a professional studio drummer ~ individual tracks, albums, soundtracks, commercials and movie trailers. Also available for live performances.

Formed in the summer of 2014 by singer/songwriter Benjamin Hatch (Producer and Frontman for the bands Vessel 33 & Vulpine). The new debut album is currently in the pre-production stages, and is set to be released early 2015. Before the full length release, there will be a 4 song EP available by the end of the year. 

The goal of the new project is to prime listeners for a new generation of Industrial and Mainstream Rock. Powered by passion, truth, motivation & conviction, Aurora Veil will be a band that will make it's mark on the music industry in 2015.

Hailing from the rock and roll capitol Hollywood, California, musician Jonny Sculls has been very busy the past year. Sculls has already made a name for himself, performing the circuit of the world renowned Sunset Strip for the past decade. He has been asked to sing for several popular local rock bands, most notably a respected L.A. based band featuring two members of "Coal Chamber". However, the past year Jonny Sculls has been quite busy on his own project. His new band Pvsher (pronounced "Pusher") is an electronic rock band with a sound reminiscent of Muse, A Perfect Circle, and Nine Inch Nails. Sculls began writing music for the band, in collaboration with many different writers and producers for over a year. Since then he has written several albums worth of material, and has picked the six strongest songs for the debut EP, which will be released very. In the meantime, the album's single "Power" was released on iTunes and Amazon on Decemeber 16th, 2014. The music video to accompany the song "Power", which was directed by the talented and provocative film maker director Jeff Hilliard, will be released in conjunction with the release of the single. The music video for "Power" is certainly sure to get people talking, and will rival that of Tarantino and David Lynch in controversy. Look for Jonny Sculls and the debut EP from his band Pvsher, plus a national tour. Any fan of music looking to hear the perfect blend of rock and electronic music is certain to become a fan of Pvsher.

Music.  No Gimmicks.  No Bullshit.

In less than a year, Malaki has taken the Los Angeles scene by storm delivering exactly that. Melding the power and riffing of Modern Metal with soulful vocals, Malaki was born as a studio project for guitarist Joshua Buma.  

Crafting songs and a musical landscape in his vision, Josh began reaching out to musicians he believed could help bring Malaki to life.  Woven around the guitar riffs of Michael Breamer and Joshua Buma lies the backbone of the group: Bassist Joe Guerra (ex Flatline) and drummer Dave Gentry (ex Otep, Triggerpoint). Together, they provide thunderous pinpoint rhythms complimenting the melodic riffage that Buma envisioned. It was during this time that Malaki sought out the right vocalist to compliment their unique sound. 

After parting ways with their first singer in January 2014, Malaki was on the search for something different. It wasn’t until early summer that Malaki found what they were looking for in Wisconsin vocalist Shauna Lisse (ex Mind Drop). Her voice synched perfectly with what the band envisioned.

After Shauna’s relocation to Los Angeles, it was time to get to work. The band played a couple shows and recorded their first EP which was released on  December 13th 2014. After wrapping up The Blue EP, the band went on a short tour of the west coast to promote the release. A early spring tour followed with a showcase at the legendary SXSW music festival. Immediately after returning to Los Angeles they began recording their next release at legendary Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood while planning several  national tours for 2015.

A  band that’s true to their words : Music. No gimmicks. No bullshit.              

Malaki is music without compromise, and the very essence of artistic integrity.
