Geoff Westen has a long history in music and design, working on scores of projects with hundreds of musicians and talented artists in all fields, and apprenticed his musical craft with pop music stars in the studio, on television and on the road. His apprenticeship took on many forms - owning a recording studio where he worked with artists as diverse as David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Dr. John; on the road with his own bands and top commercial pop artists; and on television as house band on a network television show.
Westen's style is a life-long amalgam of pop influences. He laughs at the comparisons heaped on his music. "I understand why people want to compare you to some other artist or band as a point of reference, but it really gets ridiculous. If I showed you the list of 'who Geoff sounds like,' you would be amazed. It's a diverse group ranging from Oingo Boingo to The Killers to Chromeo. Wow! But, I'm not griping about it. It's great that everyone hears something different. It means if you're into rock 'n roll, you should be able to find something you like about my music - that's what I'm striving for."
Rock veteran Westen has spent a whole lot of years involved in the production and performance of music. You can hear this wealth of experience in his "wall of pop" arrangements and layered production style...and that's what sets him apart. For more on Geoff Westen go to www.disturbingmusic.com.
