Prior to her transition, Mina had an audition with the remaining members of the legendary group, The Doors. These are from that session.

Break On Through

Welcome to my WrathBliss-V sounds in a cloud.
Where some of my other projects meld together..
as you can also discover my PPA, YehYaw, MicVills, 
SPRP303,...via project in project collabs.

At this point it is either almost...days away from the 
New Year 2019...or we are already in the midst of 
2019. Either way..HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!
SO, Besides being a parent of a 4 year old and a partner...
I'm simply...
An unknown, under the underground creative, music loving dude
straight outta the 720. 

I play guitar, keys, home record, sing some, write, cover songs most times my way, don't smoke, don't toke, rarely drink, I have a sense of humor, 
I lived and tried and followed the band life daze, days, dreams and things
finally doing my own thing after 7 garage/front room/gigging bands.
I record mostly with and on my old hand me down 13 inch
Macbook 2011 with only 8 GB memory..
using Garageband and Reason. 
I hope to move up..but..since I don't make any money 
from music and do it mostly for myself,
and money being tight, I'm not able to invest in more..
better, bigger, more awesome gear and software.
Maybe one day. Gotta do what you love with what you've got.
Quantity and Quality...the best I can do with what I have self taught myself
and with what I have to work with. 
Some are more fortunate to have the funds to 
buy better gear, for studio time, better producers, engineers
and etc. I feel that at this level, if you say you love music,
have talent, then why depend on others when you should learn how to express your creative ideas with the technology available.
It isn't always about the pristine, over produced, mastered track
that might end up being heard by many..or few..
it is about the art..for some at least.


I dig many genres and artists ranging from
Pink Floyd, Ween, They Might Be Giants, Alt J, Polyphonic Spree,
Superorganism, Cat Stevens, Randy Newman, Head and the Heart,
The Swell Season, Lady and Bird, Cake Sale, Sparklehorse, 
David Bowie, Prince, Rachael Yamagata, Tori Amos, 
Fiest, New Pornographers, Yo La Tengo, Fiona Apple, Birdy,
Patsy Cline, Rebecca Fergusson, Kendra Morris, Queen, 
Portishead, Phantogram, Postal Service, Portugal.theman,
Garth Brooks, Louis Armstrong, Four Seasons, Heart, Chemical Brothers, 
Fugees, Tragically Hip, Dylan, Beatles, Procul Harum, Wilco, Jayhawks, 
Neil Young, Carole King, Janis Joplin, Joni MItchel, Phoebe Snow,
Leo Sayer, Todd Rundgren, Broken Social Scene, DMB, Gorillaz, Beastie Boys,
Senser, Run DMC, De La Soul, Ledesi, Alabama Shakes, Cold War Kids, 
Phish, Teenage Fanclub, Soul Asylum, Fastball, Morcheeba, old Coldplay, 
Tears for Fears, The National, Arcade Fire, Editors, Flock of Seagulls, 
Elvis Costello, Grace Slick, Nick Cave, Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer,
Shel,  REM, the Cure, Blondie, Scandal, Grandaddy, Vampire Weekend, 
Squeeze, Black Crowes, James Taylor and many more.

My WrathBliss covers and original creations
can lean more towards the indie, folk, electro, synthy, pop,
psychedelic sounding jams...though I also enjoy
listening to metal, hard rock, hip hop, jazz, oldies, prog rock/metal, soul rnb.

I sing because I must. It seems like forever that I have sought a male or female vocalist that has that most moving vocal ability that wants to musically 
join up to create a most dope musical partnership. Rehearsing, writing, covering, recording, ...and possibly playing out here and there. Having musical fun indeed.
Still searching..but still doing my own thing in the mean time
with my little home recording simple set up 
that allows me to continue to create and share with the world
even though..at the end of each day..
I'm still my only fan it seems..lol.

Thank you for listening, reading, sharing, caring!
Wishing you all the best!
Sincerely,
TDM WrathBliss

Mina sounds like: laid-back, slow-core, folky compositions; suffused in the '70s and '90s, drug-induced textures and states of darkside/vintage psychedelia. Brutally honest confessional songwriting; straight-ahead rock and roll; her knack for catchy melodies, witty lyrics, and extraordinary vocal range.

Mina has worked with industry veterans, such as producer Martyn Lenoble (Porno For Pyros, Scott Weiland, David Gahan The Cult), bassist and trumpet player, Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist Craig Ross (Lenny Kravitz, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow), guitarist Gerry Leonard aka SpookyGhost (David Bowie band leader/guitarist, Susanne Vega, Duncan Sheik),  pianist Zac Rae (Fiona Apple, Miley Cyrus, Annie Lennox), mixer Greg Fidelman (Rage Against The Machine, RHCP, Marilyn Manson, Johnny Cash, LoA, Adele), producer Andy Kravitz (Joan Osborne, Cypress Hill, Imogen Heap, The Police), Producer Jared Kotler (Keith Caputo, Marcy's Playground), Producer Steve Thompson (Aretha Franklin and George Michael, Korn, Filter, Ziggy Marley etc) Producers The Butcher Bros, (Urge Overkill, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Amy Grant)

Mina/On the festival circuit/gigs:  She has shared stages with titans like Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Björk, David Bowie, Pixies, and Foo Fighters. Caputo is unafraid to mine new musical territory, as evidenced by her two most recent releases – A Fondness for Hometown Scars and the latest, As Much Truth As One Can Bear.
