Recall in record collection...early Beatles, Big Band, classical, jazz, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, MC5, Dusty Springfield, Motown. Various country artists in record collection. While my oldest brothers were playing '60s rock, Southern Rock, English psychedelic bands, from vinyl collection. During late '60s psychedelic era, early '70s." 

Young age of twenty, Daniel decided to seriously pursue music career. First band, younger brother on bass. Jammed with various musicians, friends, bands. San Francisco Bay Area, during the eighties. Formed power trio, "Third Eye." Performed various popular clubs in San Francisco. Relocated in the East Bay Area. Small town in Pleasanton. Shortly, after Third Eye disbanded.

His two lovely rescue cats Syd & Ziggy, daily magical hikes in the forest...are current "musical" inspirations. Cheers.

Since 2007 NASP is a OMA (OneManArmy) a solo project entirely made by me Alexandre Santos born and raised @ Porto in Portugal.
That said, here´s a little global description for my sound:
"The world created by Not a Side Project is a mix of dark and light, war and peace, high peaks and fluid valleys, where silences become loud and the blend of guitar and drums carries the listener in a sublime trip through ominous atmospheres."
So...

Hey, my name is Markus. In the past I've made Metal, Punk and Heavy Rock with my friends in my garage. I played the bass guitar and sometimes vocals. But that was way back (in the 90s). Now I produce my own songs at home and upload them. The music styles are from Metal, Punk, Rock to House and Dance, just everything I like. I would be happy if my songs are heard and positive feedback comes. I am also interested in cooperation and publish acapellas at looperman.com
