A mix between Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and Natalie Merchant, with the falsetto of Joni, Raina "can go toe to toe with any one of them."- (Cyrus Rhodes, The Muses Muse Songwriting Website) A singer-songwriter with a folk/rock vibe and a splash of country, Raina's songs are thought-provoking, relatable and catchy tunes with heart-felt lyrics that truly connect with the humans spirit and deliver poignant songs with a strong, soulful and soothing voice that makes you want to keep listening.  A signature folk/rock style that is uniquely her own, Raina's songwriting often explores the uplifting themes of love, life and spirituality as well as the environmental and political.  “She's truly an infectious artist that possess a 'Gold Standard' voice, look' songwriting, appeal, talent, vocal passion and overall artistic presence.  Song for song, the effective combination of Krangle’s voice, world class songwriting and top flight musicianship is never called into question.  From start to finish “Solstice” is an impressive catalogue of music. The music is warm, marketable, uplifting and very passionate. I could listen to her sing all day.”
-Cyrus Rhodes- Muses Muse Songwriting Website

A singer-songwriter for over 20 years, Raina is a self-taught musician with a fresh folk-rock vibe. Her 2012 CD- Solstice, is a compilation of original songs over the last 20 years. Her follow up 2016 single “Home” offers up a true rock vibe, while her 2017 single, “Shine” delivers a more melodic, softer sound. Raina’s next single, “My Beautiful Dear”, tells the quintessential love story and features Bruce Cockburn’s, “All the Diamonds” melody line. This single is set to be released Spring 2020. Raina has heartfelt lyrics and a soulful voice that soothes your ears and makes you want to keep listening.  She enjoys singing different genres, so if you have a project requiring a female vocalist, Raina's voice is for hire.

Performed with modular synthesizers, theremin, guitar, trumpet, samples, lo-fi microphones, no-input mixing board, and an old telephone.

I am a Toronto songwriter. I'm performing drums, guitars and vocals on all my demo tracks here. Thanks for stopping by. Please write me a note at buzzgary@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you!

I've been a musician for almost 30 years. I started as a guitarist, began to  write my own songs, formed my first band and so on.

A few years ago I was in a situation, where I enjoyed some small and local success  and played occasional concerts with singer-songwriter stuff in my  native language-bavarian, in the south of Germany, were the oktoberfest is.

 So far so good, but more and more I got the feeling that I have been on the same  road  for much too long, it became monotonous and i felt. nothing new, thus it began to bore me.

Then came iOS. I bought an used 3rd generation iPod touch and someone told me that it  was possible to make music with that device.

 I started with nanostudio ,the 
whole thing was so inspiring and music came to me. I was able to go in a direction i always liked but never made myself: Electronic stuff in the 
tradition of Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and people like that. 

At the beginning of this year I tried something else...

 Peter Gabriels "Passion" 
was always a record I loved very much. So I tried to integrate world music samples into my tracks and well...it worked.

So that's where I am today, I've just released my first E.P. on bandcamp 
(martinneuhold.bandcamp.com if you're interested) , and I'm working on an album in that direction, but I'm not restricted to the ethnic/ambient thing. 

I'd say my music is an external manifestation of what resounds in my spirit, my inner self if you will. I don't just want to make music that sounds good, I aspire to make my listeners feel good too:)

Artists I like went in many different directions (Peter Gabriel, Neil Young) and  I want to do that too.  I am just curious as to where my road may take me! I feel the possibilities are endless..
