It started as just a electronic project that I did by myself while I had free time and a friend of mine heard it and suggested that I do the same with my guitar and turn it into a rock project similar to Vinnie moore, or Michael Angelo Batio did with their instrumental albums. I thought it was a good idea so I did it. Now I have 2 electronic albums and 1 rock album with another rock album on the way with vocals also. It was always just a project that I had on the side by myself that was just me and no one else involved which is also why I called it my creation.
02. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HEARD YOU BEFORE?
I would say that the electronic stuff that I started with would be a cross between techno/dance type of stuff that you might hear on a video game and orchestrated stuff that you might hear on a soundtrack for a movie. The Rock stuff that it has evolved into I would say is similar to stuff written by Vinnie Moore or Jason Becker or someone in the instrumental guitar genre and some stuff to come will be more vocal oriented.
03. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE LYRICAL CONTEST OF THE MUSICS?
The newer stuff is the only stuff with vocals and most of it has a slightly depressing nature but some of the lyrics have a never quit never say die attitude also. So a range of emotion.
04. HOW MANY ALBUMS/CD´S HAVE YOU RELEASED?

04. HOW MANY ALBUMS/CD´S HAVE YOU RELEASED?
Technically I have 3 out if you count the demo, but there are 2 full lengths. One electronic and the other is rock guitar. I think for the rest of the albums I am going to keep it strictly organic rock albums.
05. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?
I only have CDs available so far. I maybe have posters soon and maybe stickers but for now I think CDs are good enough considering I don’t play out much yet other than open mic once in a while.
06. ARE YOUR SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF LAWRENCE`S CREATION?

So far yes, and I am hearing more and more feedback from people telling me they like what I am doing.
07. TELL US MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC: DROP ZONE. MY FAVORITE.
For drop zone, I was inspired to create an album that was like a guitar hero album ie Yngwie, Joe Satriani, MAB, Steve Vai etc. So I composed 10 songs and released it hoping that I would be able to send it out and be ranked up there with some of my favorite guitar players. It was mainly inspired by music in video games like the song “bad omen” for example that actually has a part in it that is exactly the same music during the first solo as a part in the game… which is why I called it that. Haha… So mainly listening to video game music and bands like dream theater and some shred albums from guitar players like Steve Vai etc.
08. COMMENT ABOUT THE ALBUM: DROP ZONE?
This album is the beginning of the band’s new sound that will stay (I mean real instruments, real band, no electronic stuff) and I consider it to be the first and only album since I am trying to break away from what I was doing before. I did put a lot of time into recording it and had fun coming up with ideas. So far everyone I have shown this album to seemed to like it very much.

09. WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTS THAT YOU HAVE OUTSIDE OF MUSIC?
Music is my main hobby and I love it the most but other hobbies and interests are stuff like bowling, ping pong, going to the beach, casino (once in a while), hanging out with friends and stuff… I also like stargazing and going on boat rides a lot also. That is very fun.
10. ARE YOU WORKING ON ANY NEW MATERIAL? CAN WE EXPECT A NEW RELEASE FROM YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
Yes a new album should be available soon. It still has the flashy shred guitar stuff in it but it isn’t as technical as drop zone. It is slower for the most part and it will have vocals on it.
