American rocker, motivational speaker, advice columnist and self-proclaimed “King of Positive Partying,” Andrew W.K. focuses on “what it is to be alive — meaning, motivation, mind set, and making dreams come true, all included in a celebration of life itself — and all with a positive and honest outlook” on America W.K.!

Combining elements of r&b & funk, haunting atmospherics, timeless pop, rock, jazz, & folk sensibilities, & a rich, soulful voice, Dustin Ransom blurs experiences of love, loss, fear, & hope into his music. Built on deep grooves, impeccable musicianship, & honest, thought-provoking lyrics, his songs reveal themselves more & more with each listen.

Ransom was born a musical whiz kid in small-town Indiana. Classically trained on piano, drums, & percussion & self-taught on guitar & bass, he immersed himself in every musical genre possible from a young age. In 2005, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee & became a first-call musician & producer for artists including Ryan Bingham, Jars Of Clay, Dave Barnes, Matt Wertz, Ben Rector, Jon McLaughlin, Gabe Dixon, Emily West, K.S. Rhoads, Shelly Fairchild, Erin McCarley, Butterfly Boucher, Andrew Belle, Andy Davis, Steve Moakler, & many more. Ransom self-produced and engineered his 2015 debut EP, Thread On Fire, along with producer-engineer Adam Bokesch, as well as playing 99% of the instrumentation, singing every vocal, & mixing every track. No vocal correction software was used on Thread On Fire, which carries over into all of his recordings.

In 2016, he created JIGSAW, an interactive experience where fans submitted musical parameters (time signature, key signature, tempo, & instrumentation) in the form of “Jigsaws”. One of these submissions would be randomly chosen, & Ransom would write a song based around it. This resulted in some of his most challenging music to date, including the funk workout “Talk About You”, the autumnal “Black Letters (What You’ll Find)” & the jazz-psychedelia of “Liberation”.

In the summer of 2017, he released his first full-length record, Phases, a masterful showcase of his musical DNA. Ransom toured in support of Phases that fall, opening for pop singer-songwriter Matt Wertz across the United States.

In early 2018, Ransom announced the Home To You Tour, his first tour consisting entirely of house shows. He is currently writing songs for his next release.

After the removal of a cancerous tumor in his chest, four rounds of chemotherapy and a paralyzed vocal cord, singer/songwriter Jeremy Hicks was told to find a new profession. Still he began writing new songs in attempt to cope with his emotional state. By whistling vocal melodies he could still craft songs the way he always had but this time for a new reason - consolation. Over the course of 6 months, little by little, his vocal chord began to gain strength. Desperate to have his voice back, he forced a sound out of his chest that resulted in a new, raw voice he could once again call his own. THENVOY is where he shares those songs and attempts to create an environment of consolation with elements of song, film and fragrance.

* Based in Nottingham, England * An accompaniment to your dreams * All songs free to download * Music maker * Video maker * Although I set out for my music to be heard by everybody it's actually quite freeing to be unknown. Like I have a secret that only very few really know about * But I'm sharing in the hope it does reach more still * Painting out my soul through sound * No AI or voice correcting technology * Best of work highlighted here * Other accounts J R Watkins and J R Watkins II linked underneath * Search 'Beautiful Zero' on YouTube for videos and other highlighted work * Best blasted out of decent speakers * INFP 4w5 459 * Beautiful Zero is J R Watkins, all instruments and production * The dream remains * Each song resembles a part of me that I felt I needed to express at that particular point in life * So I like to feel each song has it's own soul * I first started recording at the age of 18 in 1998 * I was in a band with my brother and two best friends (The Haze/Dirty Kanvus) * We went on to support Ocean Colour Scene for a few dates in the late 2000's * OCS being a band I loved even before I knew I could play an instrument * Home recording has always been my preference as I am free to express myself exactly how I wish without compromise * I always wanted to write my own 'White Album - The Beatles' * I may not have done that but I hope you enjoy and feel the love I've put into my work that I'm sharing * Peace, love and the stars above.
