New Bio Costs Hours and Hair

NEW BIO! AHHH! After hours of strenuous pondering and losing hair, we've reached satisfaction. Thanks to a few wonderful people, this cookie is fresh out the oven!

Feelgood is a generational combination of music into one pop, rock and soul melting pot. This melting pot has birthed comparisons to everyone from Maroon 5 to Prince. Backed by precision instrumentation and fronted by soul, Feelgood’s music transcends timelines and stereotypes.

Already touted by Music Connection Magazine as a “Potential Top 40 Radio Band,” Feelgood, formed in 2007, found itself playing in packed rooms in Los Angeles. From these shows grew Feelgood’s desire to move and elevate the crowd into a frenzy the moment the music kicks in.

The heart and soul of the band is multitalented musician, singer/songwriter Stefan Di Maria. While his vision didn’t connect overnight, Stefan was drawn to the performances of artists like Michael Jackson (whom he channeled for a rearing rendition of “Beat It” in front of his classmates in 1st grade) and the musicality of his father’s generation of classic rock bands. Collectively, the band cites the genius of Sting and Earth Wind and Fire as strong influences that allow them to bring conscious musical intelligence into the equation of Feelgood.

Once bitten by the performance bug, Stefan assembled a band of artists superbly proficient in their instruments, beginning with guitar virtuoso Kenny Echizen and then adding seasoned veteran Zach Rudulph on bass. He rounded out the line up with smooth keyboardist David Mendoza and his backbone, drummer Roberto Cerletti. These artists are equal parts of the equation and their varied cultural backgrounds add spice to the melting pot as well as diversity to the music.

Feelgood’s most recent self-titled offering is made up of upbeat infectious grooves and relationship-driven topics that are either firsthand accounts or sharp observations. The breakout single “Baggage” shines light on all the things one takes into relationships, either knowingly or unwittingly. While their songs are heartfelt, soulful insights to issues we can all relate to, the songs elicit a “feel good” attitude, letting listeners know that they can smile and dance while going through these hardships.

The boys of Feelgood continue to focus on proficient and fluid live performances in historic venues such as The House of Blues on Sunset and the world-famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. While constantly striving for perfection and originality during these live performances, they intersperse rigorous rehearsals and writing sessions to keep everything fresh. Their live shows help the band to maintain the connection with an audience, and that energy fuels their never-ending quest for originality and showmanship.

And while the audience remains captivated during live performances, you can’t help while watching the band to think that Stefan still envisions himself as that 6-year-old channeling Michael Jackson, and the crowd is still his classmates.
