Alan Dreezer

Story

I am an Electronic Music/Singer-Songwriter from Chelmsford Essex. I have until now always collaborated with other musicians or as part of a band away from my passion for Synth-Pop.These have included touring with Tara 2 a pop duo supporting 80's favourites "Brother Beyond" on tour or playing sold out shows at High Barn Great Bardfield which was one of the best small venues in the UK with Rock-Pop band ADProject. I am currently recording my first solo album "LONDON E12" set for release in 2018.My debut EP "WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY"' was released in November 2016. I followed that with my second single "TO DO THIS" described by online blog STEREO STICKMAN as "This meeting of the undeniably human and the synth driven is perfectly captivating" was released in May. My 3rd single "NOW" has just been released. Looking for a multi-instrumentalist & drummer with a small electronic kit for intimate shows and open mics
