At ten years old, it was obvious that Emil was not just some kid that could carry a tune. Performing in musical theatre in Denver, CO, the city he was born in, his voice was strong and stood out even among performers much older and more experienced than his. Now Emil is living and growing up in the sun-filled city of El Paso, TX and his voice has grown up there too.
Emil was only 14 years old when he began his recording career. In August 2009, Emil released his debut cd “If You Let Me”. Two songs co-written by award winning recording artist, stage and television performer, and vocal consultant Judy Rodman highlight the cd.

The title track has been moving up on the country independent radio charts since its release in February 2010. It recently debuted at #17 on the New Music Weekly’s Top 30 Country Indie Chart and hit #28 on New Music Weekly’s Country Main Chart. Emil had a blast recording the tracks for “If You Let Me” at Hilltop Recording Studios located in the mecca of great music, Nashville, TN. Emil got to work with the best musicians, producers, and engineers in the business and completely fell in love with the process. Emil sums it up by stating that, “I love all music, it’s a way to communicate and share my life. It’s a positive force in my life and has always been a way for me to connect with family and friends”.

This collaboration worked so well that before “If You Let Me” left the music charts Emil and his family at E Productions said, “Let’s do that again”. So in the spring of 2010 they all headed back to Nashville. Right around the time Emil will turn 16 his second cd “All I Ever Knew” will be released. The cd contains an eclectic mix of 10 great original pop songs that highlight his smooth vocal style but this time Emil threw some of El Paso into the formula. Two El Paso, TX songwriters and musicians wrote six out of the ten songs that Emil recorded. Judy Rodman was not content with just co-writing three of the songs. She was so excited about the project that she wanted to produce it as well and boy did she. Judy once again brought in the best studio musicians, background vocalists, and engineers for Emil’s new cd. The finished songs are a testament to everybody’s hard work and Emil’s voice never sounded better.

The first single being released is the title track “All I Ever Knew Of Love Was You” and will hit the airwaves this spring.
The first music video that was released is a special song written by Judy Rodman and Michael Black called “Missing Child”. It was not hard for Emil to connect with this song because it is about children disappearing and being abused. Emil decided to donate all the profits from the song to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Please visit the NCMEC’s website http://www.missingkids.com to learn more on how you can help or to donate to this worthy cause.

RaZoR would like to thank all of our faithful and open minded listeners out there for the positive comments that we keep receiving. We are happy to report that RaZoR is again pounding away in the studio churning out ideas and new tunes to be included in our 2nd disc as yet untitled. The first, “Thunder in a Bottle” has been well received by fans and industry insiders alike and rocks with a vengeance where as the new tunes, also rock, but with some introspection and depth.

Now it has been reported that our illustrious drummer “Ziggi” after writing the lyrics to a new RaZoR composition entitled, “Cool Cold Ca$h”, left town, sold all his cars and estate, and set up shop in Greece, reportedly sick of the wishy washy Canadian Music scene.

Nothing could be further from the truth as he is reportedly looking for new digs in the Mission Hills area and planning to expand the studio. It should be further noted that “Cool Cold Ca$h” is not about squandering excess as much as it is about the shallowness of money and wealth and about what you do with it.

I’m a singer,songwriter,musician and arranger, self taught,took voice lesson and I learned arrangement by listening to classical music.

I’m a solo artist,with a recording studio.All vocals and instruments on all of my songs are perform by myself.I founded three bands,Rocksands,Duo Freighter and Deep Blue Eyes.

When I write,I don’t tell myself I’m gonna write in this style or gonna go in this direction, I just let it come out and from that i start building on it.That is why on my CD “Look at that” you live every emotion of life.The Indieshowcase.net did a review of my CD.

I always adapt myself to the song,its never the other way around. The words and melody must be as one,it must float,and once that is achieve, the lead vocal can play around it

Don’t take my word,just listen!

At the End of the World embodies a resurgence of the heavy riffing, hard hitting, cynical attitude of what has made some the best eras of hard rock and metal as intense, energetic, and as powerful as it was always meant to be. We play with raw power and emotion, with a sound that treads the line between art and insanity.

“Our music is a brutal honesty to our views on the often horrifying, always exciting, journey of living and dying and all the experiences in between. We continue to progress with our style, which is unique to the five of us and our personal experiences” says bassist Andrew Brunetti.

When listening to their recent studio recordings (featuring tracks Save Yourself and Panic Pull) its obvious that their sound draws inspiration from a mix of bands, ranging from the twisted and genius creations of Alice in Chains and Tool to the head slamming power of metal legends such as Pantera and Meshugga. Hailing out of Brooklyn New York, At The End Of The World represent a new era of rock that is well overdue to emerge and conquer.

Brunetti adds, “More than anything we want our sound to be heard. This is what we live for, what we love, and what we want to bring to those who appreciate good music. We’re hoping to stir up and contribute to a new beginning in the hard rock and metal scene.”

So if you are interested in joining the movement to bring real, true hard rock back to New York and the rest of the world, check out At The End Of The World.soon you wont have a choice anyway.
