With his debut album ready to be released next month and an upcoming appearance on the Rachael Ray TV Show, 2011 is off to a good start for Ian Axel. Could it get any better for this talented singer/songwriter? Yes, it can. Ian Axel is our Artist of the Week.
I was first exposed to Ian Axel at a show in Hermosa Beach. I was initially moved by the lyrics, I was quickly drawn to Ian’s infectious personality. Often times, we like an artist, but we don’t connect to them until we feel that we “know” the artist. Like many of us who follow independent music, we fall in love with the artist, then their music because of the personal connections we often times make.
Ian’s live shows are a real treat for people who aren’t exposed to his music. As I sat in the audience, I was unaware of the talent that was getting ready to be unleashed on me. While Ian’s lyrics are powerful, the connection is made in the delivery of the songs. Ian’s passion for storytelling and writing come through in his performances. I made a connection with him that evening. Ian’s lyrics are very personal, and he is not afraid to share insights into his songs.
Ian has a large following of people, and I can’t help but think that those people were drawn to him because his music spoke to them. With his dynamic personality and infectious live performances, Ian is one of the artists to look to in 2011. Ian is getting ready to promote the album, so look for him on the road supporting the album, who knows, maybe he’ll join us in studio in the near future. We would only be so lucky!
