Award-winning artist AM (Tulsa born, New Orleans raised). Currently lives in Echo Park, California. Tours internationally. www.amsounds.com for official website. Search AM Sounds on Facebook to add AM as a friend. www.myspace.com/amsounds. AM's music is available on itunes at www.itunes.com/am
Movies and television shows are where you may have first heard AM's music. With an impressive 75 song placements to date including HBO's "Big Love", ABC's "Men In Trees", and MTV's "The Hills" AM had every song placed from his debut album "Troubled Times". "Troubled Times" was voted one of iTunes Top 20 "Best Indie Albums" and was a personal favorite of Los Angeles tastemakers and KCRW DJ Nic Harcourt.

Tulsa born, New Orleans raised and current Silverlake resident released his sophomore album "Soul Variations" to more critical acclaim. Fusing melodic, airy pop and folk-rock "Soul Variations" drew on everything from Katrina's aftermath to the trials and tribulations of all relationships, whether personal or political. From the spacious, analog nature of the production to the songs themselves "Soul Variations" has been said to feel right at home alongside John Lennon's "Double Fantasy" and Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky".

Voted "Best Singer/Songwriter of the Year" at the LA Weekly Music Awards AM recently finished up a 45 city US tour in support of "Soul Variations" and will continue to promote the release in the US and Europe with a showcase at SXSW, select dates on the Hotel Cafe Tour, and UK/Germany dates. AM also recently scored his first film "Man Maid" along with composer Tom Hiel (Swimming with Sharks, The Practice) and has just written and produced a new duets project entitled "Side by Side - Duets EP Vol. 1" which was mixed by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields).

QUOTES:

"...a strong sense of melody and song craft -Billboard

"AM takes equal parts of classic Americana, folk-rock and pop, and melts them down into something entirely his own, and he does it with two things money can..t buy: imagination and taste. These sturdily built pop songs are graced with ingeniously colorful arrangements and have that 'instant classic' thing stamped all over them"
-John Payne, LA Weekly

"...AM writes literate, emotionally balanced tunes that are infectious without being moronic, hip without being oh so, and pop infected without losing their edge... he is a songwriter ready to be discovered by a wider audience, an audience interested in smart and sincere songs that speak to the vastness of the human spirit."
-Jedd Beoudoin, f5wichita

"A clear, expressive voice, meaningful lyrics, and a magical touch on the guitar equal some great songs, that are translated perfectly on AM's new CD "Troubled Times" click to listen to him here, or catch him on his US tour now."
-MYSPACE Editorial Special Feature November

Your hamburger in Tulsa looks so good. I did my 2nd contest video already. Have fun overthere. Lay off the fries, though. They look too greasy. thai
