Did you know ???? that NAMS established 5 guiding principles to help us filter each and every decision through? We did this almost 6 years ago and they have guided us well as we have adapted and changed with the progress of time. If you are ever faced with a tough decision, run it through these principles and let them guide your path.
Playful Ryan – Live Film and Vocal Cut
Hey NAMS Fam! We wanted to share this live recorded vocal cover from Playful Ryan. This artist selflessly helped us build our brand new recording studio during the construction phase. He’s now back in the facility making sweet music for the world.
Tyler Heaton – AKA Ekblad – Releases “cold, with hope”
A youngish fellow whose craft is audial, Ekblad is the brainchild of Tyler Heaton, who just released his first single into the world. The tune, “cold, with hope,” displays an immense artistic vision for his first offering. Ekblad self produced this in his bedroom, mixed it in our studio at NAMS, and released it independently. Listen to the preview below, and make sure to check the whole track out on Spotify, Soundcloud, and Apple Music.
Adrian Lyles – Nobody Knows My Name
We are super proud of Adrian Lyles. He filmed his debut music video here in studio at NAMS. This song, “Nobody Knows My Name,” is a clever, thoughtful, and beautiful entrance into the world of original composition.
Linnea Skold – Stone by Stone
We are super proud of Linnea Skold! She recorded her first original single, Stone by Stone, here in studio at NAMS. Linnea is a fifteen year old freshman at Frisco High School, and an up and coming musician who is proud to be from Frisco!
3@4 | Sulking In The Rain
This is an exciting one for NAMS and the students who pursue their music here at the facility. 3@4 started off at our facility in private lessons. They quickly joined together as a live band playing covers of classic and indie rock music. Seasoned in live gigs, the band moved towards the journey of writing, recording, and releasing original content. “Sulking In The Rain” is the first original product of 3@4. With it’s catchy hooks, intriguing storyline, and assertive performance, the band shows promise of a bright future. Recorded here at NAMS, we are thrilled to share with you the first of what’s to come from these talented artists.
