Ascendant Stranger

People Are Pleasantly Surprised To Learn That Ascendant Stranger Is A Solo Project -- Even Though The Music Relays A Full-Band Sound. Each Track Is Self-Produced By Justin Hicks A Wizard Of Sorts Who Tediously Lays Down Every Square Inch Of Each Track -- Including Every Instrument Writing The Lyrics Designing The Cover Art Web Design And Even Programming The Website. "All In A Days Work " Laughs Hicks Who Spends Most Of His Nights Producing Tracks After Coming Home From His Day-Time Web Programming Job. "I Feel Like Musicians Have Gotten 'soft '" He Continues. "I'm Constantly Looking For A Way To Keep A Listener's Interest And Studying What It Really Means To Have A Good 'hook' And Grab Attention. I Grew Up Listening To All Types Of Music And Was Able To Identify Quickly What Justified A Solid Sound. I Hope That People Hear That Through My Work." read less
