Colie Brice

I have over 200 tracks available on iTunes and a gazillion other download sites. Some are concise songs, others are meandering soundscapes, improvs or just beats. Some are composed and thoughtfully produced, and others are spontaneous, often silly jams.



I've played in several cool bands over the years and have experienced everything from playing the Garden State Arts Center with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to open mics all over the Jersey Shore. From major label deals to self released stuff on CD Baby. I've swept studio floors and I've been a Vice President of the world's most prestigious audiophile label. Its all provided for a unique perspective on things and a deeper, clearer understanding of what's important to me.



Its been said that variety is the spice of life, if this is true, my personal music would probably be considered a curry dish with fresh ginger and tons of garlic. I flirt with a variety of genres and styles and have developed my own musical DNA via twenty five years of exploration and experimentation. I usually just spontaneously overdub over myself. It doesn't always sound so polished, but to me, the live authenticity and immediacy is worth more than glossy production and fake auto tuning Its home grown and organic - not always as pretty as the other stuff, but better for you :)



I often feel like Forest Gump in an adaptation of Gulliver's Travels where "all the world is a stage"



Colie Brice is a true Gemini, a lefty chameleon, who produces extremely eclectic music that ranges from soothing new age blues to tightfisted face melting rock. Colie often records in manic/depressive bursts of crazy inspiration where he quickly improvises tracks as a one man band capturing the spirit of the moment via a creative approach he terms the “Luna Muse Principle”. With several hundred tracks available via iTunes and other leading digital retail outlets, his vivid aural landscapes appeal to discerning listeners more interested in artistic authenticity than the pop flavor du jour
