Band Member Bios:
Before returning home to New York, singer/guitarist Paul Sforza spent many fruitful years on the Atlanta music scene, where his debut album Lifelines received praise for its “impeccably crafted” songs from Creative Loafing, Atlanta’s #1 lifestyle publication. Since relocating to NYC, Paul has put out three more independent releases which garnered critical praise as well as listener interest. As a singer-songwriter, he's performed at venues like: Rockwood Music Hall, Pianos, The Bitter End, The Knitting Factory, The Bowery Electric, Caffe Vivaldi, and Silvana. Bass player Marty Osterer studied music in central Florida where he became entangled in jazz, rock, latin, world, and reggae music, and formed an eight-piece funk band that featured all over central Florida. In 2000, he relocated to New York, where he was selected as the in-house bass player for Murder Inc. Records, laying down bass lines for artists such as Kelly Price, LL Cool J, Ashanti, and Michael Jackson, including the hit single "I'm Real," by Ja Rule and Jennifer Lopez. Marty continues to perform in the NYC area with artists such as internationally known choreographer/dancer Silvana Magda, and blues/rock/funk artist Spiros Soukis. Although the original plan was to be a New York Yankee, Tom Papadatos started playing drums in his sophomore year at Pascack Valley High School after being cut from the varsity baseball team. He later continued his music studies at Berklee College of Music, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Performance. He has been performing as a free-lance musician in the New York area for the last 25 years and has also toured extensively throughout the United States, Asia and Europe with various pop, rock, classical crossover and jazz artists and modern dance companies.
