Biography
Ask Eleven Past One what inspired their name and they’ll tell you it was a sign from the universe. Judging by the rate they’re skyrocketing, the universe is exactly what they’ll be conquering next.
Since the release of their hit single “The World is Ours” on November 1, 2012, these five boys from Bowmanville, ON and New Brunswick combined, have barely had a moment to catch their breath. Charting in the Top 20 on Hot AC and Top 30 on CHR stations nationwide, the song is a testament to yet another masterpiece collaboration with two time JUNO Award winning producer of the year Brian Howes (Nickelback, Hedley, Simple Plan, Daughtry..). Eleven Past One’s upbeat arrangements and feel-good lyrics have often been compared to pop icons The Wanted and One Direction. It’s no surprise the epic video, produced by Ben Knechtel (Carly Rae Jepsen, Call Me Maybe), has gone viral. Having rapidly carved a niche in Much Music’s Top 20, “The World is Ours” currently holds the number 5 spot; a feat almost unheard of for an unsigned band.
Since their inception in 2007, Eleven Past One has had one mission: “To inspire fans and show them they can accomplish anything they put their mind to, in life, love, personal goals and dreams.” In 2009, they set out to prove those words true. Equipped with a thirty foot camper and overflowing supply of Kraft Dinner, the boys went straight to L.A. where they made waves before embarking on a year long U.S. tour. Attracting attention from key industry players and music fans alike, their mission culminated in North Hollywood where they recorded their debut eleven-track album The Ultimate Catch, with producer Dean Dichoso.
Now under the direction of Watchdog Management and signed with The Feldman Agency, Eleven Past One is preparing to tour this spring and working hard on their next single “Tonight’s the Night”, which promises to deliver nothing short of the smooth pop riffs, upbeat rhythm and catchy lyrics fans have come to expect. Though there’s no telling just how far this talented five-some will climb, one thing is certainly clear: the world is theirs for the taking.
Eleven Past One is: Daniel Richter – Vocals; Stephen Richter – Guitar; Kyle Bykiv – Guitar; Steve Patenaude – Drums; Dan Beattie – Bass.
