It really all started with complete love for how music could change the way I felt.  Almost instantly.

My Mom sang at church…  She was in the choir then the worship band and was always doing her strange vocal warm-ups in our living room…  I can still hear them, “ah, ah, ah!” “Oh, oh, oh!”…  It was a daily thing to have music playing at the house, in the car, bedrooms, really anywhere and everywhere!

My Dad put me on to all the latest music back in the ’90s and 2000s.  He showed me and my brother’s bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Smashing Pumpkins, Ever clear, and would play The Beatles, The Who, and tons of other classics when we went to work for him at the age of 14.

Music production came much later for me.  First I wanted a guitar (electric of course with tons of distortion), then it was a drum kit, microphones, playing in bands in High school and writing songs and fronting bands.

Once your band breaks up after High school (inevitably), if you’re really about this music lifestyle, you find ways to continue to create music and your art.  It’s really an innate part of you when you’re a musician and music lover.

Learning music production, engineering and computers came out of necessity for me.  I absolutely HATED computers!  I learned them and all the software because I knew it would thee a tool for music.  Otherwise, I would’ve never touched a computer and probably wouldn’t be in the music industry right now… 

If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?

Sticky.  Maybe it’s my ADHD but I constantly repeat melodies and phrases, over and over and over in different timbres and tonalities everywhere I go.  It really drives my wife insane!  Haha…  But I think it’s why so many people tell me they got my songs stuck in their head…

 

What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?

If you really want to be successful in music, you have to trust your gut and be yourself 100% of the time.  Don’t be afraid of people hating your music, real art should make should cause a massive change in how you feel, even if it makes you cringe.

Deflecting Ghosts confront life’s darkest moments with latest release “Out of the Grave”

Deflecting Ghosts

Deflecting Ghosts‘ latest release, “Out of the Grave,” combines aggressive, melodic identity with heavy guitars, haunting synths, layered vocal harmonies, powerful screams, and a melodic chorus. These contrasts create a strong balance between weight and emotional expression, giving the song a story behind the music.

The song was written shortly before the songwriter had a heart attack and was diagnosed with serious heart failure, associated with a personal battle for life. It started as a song, but the songwriter fought to live and make music, and it became something else. The experience adds another emotional layer to the release’s intensity, making it feel like a testament to endurance and the drive to keep making things happen despite life’s biggest obstacles.

“Out of the Grave” was mixed and mastered by Bulletride Productions’ Dustin Ridder, capturing the heaviness and melody at the core of Deflecting Ghosts’ sound. It’s a song that is both musically and personally meaningful. It mixes heavy guitars, eerie synths, stacked vocals, and a huge chorus. If you’re into alternative metal and hard rock, this is a potent mix of heavy instruments and a story about overcoming real-life struggle.
