Music is my life 

There is no type of genre that I don't enjoy from Hip-hop & R&B to Alternative & Metal. 

MUSIC is MY muse...

Hey! My name is Ian, but you probably know me as AERØHEAD.

I have always been interested in music, but I did not get started in music production until the summer of 2016, between my freshman and sophomore year in college. However, the story starts a bit earlier than that: the fall of 2015. Honestly, I was frustrated with how school was going, and I needed some relief. That is when I discovered chillstep and downtempo. Mixhound and earlier Sheepy were my primary sources, and I loved the experience of listening to a piece of music without an agenda, without a direction. Music that was not about the destination, but rather about the journey.

So, that summer of '16, I decided that I could try to make some of that music. I enjoyed it, and it would be a good way to unwind from the stresses of school. I bought FL Studios, and started teaching myself how to make music. The first couple of months, the music I made was absolute garbage. But I slowly and surely got better (hopefully you agree!). I have tons of room to improve, and I strive to get better with every track I make.

The learning curve for any DAW is fairly brutal, and the motivation that I held was that if I could make one person feel some emotion with my music, then it would all be worth it. I hope I have succeeded.

Doyle Bramhall II stands as one of the most distinctive vocalists, guitarists, composers and producers in contemporary music. Eric Clapton, with whom Bramhall II has collaborated for more than a decade, cites the guitarist as one of the most gifted players he has ever encountered. 

Bramhall II was raised in a home filled with the blues and rock & roll sounds that are indigenous to Texas; the state of his birth. His father, Doyle Bramhall, played drums for blues legends Lightning Hopkins and Freddie King and was also an accomplished songwriter and vocalist. Bramhall was a life long collaborator with childhood friends, Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, composing such signature classics as “Change It” and “Life By The Drop”.

When Doyle was 18, he was recruited by Jimmie Vaughan to play with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Bramhall II’s reputation blossomed and two years later, he co-founded the Arc Angels with Charlie Sexton and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section; Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. Their self-titled debut album, fueled by such popular songs as “Living In A Dream” and “Sent By Angels” enjoyed wide success. 

In the aftermath of two critically acclaimed solo albums Jellycream and Welcome, Bramhall II's unparalleled skills as guitarist won the attention of both Eric Clapton and Roger Waters. Waters showcased the guitarist on his In The Flesh tour and accompanying album. Eric Clapton featured Bramhall II’s songs and guitar work as part of Riding With The King, his Grammy winning project with B.B. King. Clapton then recruited Bramhall II to join him on a full time basis and their association flourished. The guitarist toured with Clapton throughout the world and their dramatic interplay thrilled fans and immediately drew comparisons to past triumphs such as Derek & The Dominoes. Bramhall II’s distinctive guitar work—he is a left handed player who plays a right handed strung guitar flipped upside down—left an indelible mark on Clapton albums such as Me And Mr. Johnson and Searching For Robert J. Both projects were highlighted by Bramhall II and Clapton stirring duets in the same Dallas room where Robert Johnson had originally recorded his legendary songs in 1937. Bramhall II songwriting prowess would also be featured as part of Reptile, Back Home and Road To Escondido. He would next co-produce Clapton’s two most recent albums, Clapton and 2013's Old Sock. 

In addition to Clapton, Bramhall II has been in demand as composer, guitarist and producer, collaborating with such as artists as Sheryl Crow, Tedeschi Trucks, Elton John, Questlove, Gary Clark Jr., Erykah Badu, Gregg Allman, Robert Randolph, T-Bone Burnett, Meshell Ndegeocello, Dr. John and many others. Bramhall has produced several records, including Crow's popular 100 Miles From Memphis.

Bramhall II is now completing his much anticipated fourth solo album, launching the next chapter in an extraordinary musical journey. 

In the summer of 1983 Greg was flipping through radio stations and landed on a local radio station that played a lot of urban and dance music. Every night they would play mixes. The first time Greg heard this he thought it was one long song but then noticed the songs were completely different. He thought this was so cool and then needed to figure out how it was done.

He went to a local supplier and bought two cheap turntables trying to replicate the mixes. Having little success he realized it was the cheap turntables that were limiting him. He decided that if he was going to be able to mix he would need better equipment. He went out and bought the high end turntables that they were using at the radio station which allows for a record to be sped up or slowed down. This made it much easier to match the beats of different songs together.

He had his friends listen to the mixes as he refined his technique and they told him what needed improvement. He listened to them all and took their advice and kept listening to the radio for inspiration. After he came home from work every day he would practice and practice until he thought he had a good mix put together. After months and months of practicing the mixes were getting quite good and friends were letting others know about them. More and more people started asking for mix tapes which he made for those that asked.

As the mixes got better so did the equipment. The money he made off the mix tapes went into buying new equipment.

As the mixing part of the business kept growing so did interest. Party promoters started contacting Greg about mixing for parties. He did them one after another. Some of these parties included other DJs also such as Bad Boy Bill, Mickey "Mixin" Oliver & Ralphi "The Razz" Rosario who were the mixers that Greg heard on the local radio station.

Since then he has played at many bars, pubs, taverns and night clubs in and around the Chicagoland area and continues to improve his skills. Some of these include:

Filthy McNasty's Pub - Chicago
Lasko's Tavern - Chicago
Memories Bar - Chicago
Scruffy Murphy's Irish Pub - Chicago
The Cabana Club - Chicago
Bently's Nightclub - Rosemont
Rizzo's Bar - Naperville
The Metro - Chicago
and many others.

In 2006, some of Greg's past experiences have been inspiration for a Novel called "The Groover's Last Stand". Some of his experiences in real life have been fictionalized in the main character, "George, The Groover".
