Melodic alt-pop singer-songwriter Draz (Andrew Drazic) writes songs that feature quirky, lyrical melodies; intelligent lyrics and compelling arrangements. Draz—who records all of his material himself—creates tracks with first-class production: every instrument is perfectly-balanced; each note of his wide-ranging voice is crystal clear. As a result, Draz is fast becoming known as a singer-songwriter, producer and collaborator—receiving tremendous internet buzz and featured on a recent movie soundtrack.
Musically, Draz draws on a wide range of sounds and textures. His melodies grab you at first listen. But there is always something—whether an unexpected synth counterpoint, chromatic chord progressions, or some slide guitar—that invites repeated listening. However, nothing is done for effect, each layer only adds to the song. Underlying all of these songs is Draz’s voice, which runs from hauntingly beautiful to gritty and driving. Overall, the vibe is Smashing Pumpkins and The Smiths meet The Beatles—updated for today.
Lyrically, Draz’s songs can be highly visual, or just poignant, as in “With You”: “it took me a while to realize that heaven… that heaven’s a place, you never reach; but I’d love to try with you.” In his words, his songs are “a little bit of optimistic truth with a lot of melody.” Equally impressive as his lyrics are his musical chops; he has done guitar session work for Sammy Hagar, producer Larry Dvoskin, and Simon Bye. Draz cut his teeth fronting well-known downtown NYC bands Euphoria and Benzina.
