Pregnant is the musical pipe works of once described hillbilly savant Daniel Trudeau, an intriguing self taught producer, visual artist, musician, and father hailing from Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California. Pairing a sweet vocal style reminiscent of Neil Young/Kermit the Frog with a swelling collage of electronics, foot pedals, guitars and even saxophone, Pregnant’s whimsical and DIY vibrations are dream-worthy and environmental. Raising his daughter in Northern California brings inspiration to the all aspects of his music, as the lyrics and instrumentation work together to capture a feeling of modern isolation, personal struggle, and self-discovery. After a rapid succession of limited edition releases that helped refine and perfect his sound he has combined his efforts with Mid-Western percussionist and song smith Schuyler Petersen of the solo Project "Make Belief". Petersen brings odd new amendments to the project, "correcting" Trudeau's impulsive and quick working style to create more easily digested versions of the older signature Pregnant sound. The eclecticism is propped up even further by bass player Sean Hayashi; a long time Sacramento Musician and resident. Lastly, the years of experience that holds Pregnant together through Trudeau, Petersen and Hayashi is deflated once more so that the music remain playful and buoyant by the young miss Brynley Stoner who has never claimed to have been a musician, showing that "if you can talk you can sing" type of energy that keeps Pregnant unconventional. This incarnation of Pregnant strives to combine diverse sample driven dance music with lyrics in a way that has never been done before.
