XAK is a North Ga. musician whose musical journey performance first started playing at sessions hosted by multi-platinum songwriter Bruce Burch (Faith Hill/Reba McEntire/ Loretta Lynn), and really began to take flight after being invited to perform with Rodney Appleby (bassist for Ian Gillan of Black Sabbath/Deep Purple fame). It was after this that XAK realized his dream of being a successful solo artist. Some of his other early mentors include Grammy nominated album guitarist Jason Powers & Josh Pockrus frontman of the band AEGEA (supporting band for Grammy nominated band Saliva) Being a prodigy & advancing straight to playing covers of iconic guitar virtuosos like Eddie Van Halen, SRV, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Rob Scallon, & Andy McKee; the road ahead seems without limit for this talented & all around versatile musician who plays not only guitar; but also bass, piano/keyboards, and to match has a huge mature sounding Blues Rock voice that seems to reach out & grab the listener with a relentlessly honest amount of both passion & conviction. The music ranges from all decades as he effortlessly glides through genres & decades like a high performance transmission. Easily shifting gears from the classic rock/r&b sounds of acts like Jackson 5, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Temptations & Otis Redding to Pat Benatar, Bruce Hornsby, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake & Prince into 3 Doors Down, Matchbox 20, Edwin McCain The Goo Goo Dolls, & Red Hot Chili Peppers; even then onward & beyond to current acts like Ed Sheeran James Bay , 21 Pilots, Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes, Shinedown, & Jack Johnson (SEE FULL CURRENT SONG LIST AT BOTTOM OF PAGE) In addition to this wide array of styles; XAK usually incorporates a small instrumental segment into his set which showcases both his technical virtuosity & impressively accomplished guitar skills that absolutely floors audiences everytime! Many audience members & fans have compared it in the past to something akin to Rob Scallon or Andy McKee meets August Rush. He has released his self produced single "Where Dead Girlz Play" & it is available now for FREE DOWNLOAD here on reverbnation. Also, a LIVE version of the single "Movin' On" from Eddie Owen Presents at the Red Clay Music Foundry in Duluth Ga. is available here on reverberation for FREE DOWNLOAD.
