ENDR

With a mix of modern blues, rock and electric sounds, Endr will always leave you wanting more. Thomas Beck and Ryan Bridgewater, sole members of Endr, bonded through their passion for music and a similar backstory of success and failure in the music biz. Having both had recent heartbreaks, their dreams of musical success kept them afloat during the darkest times in their lives. Having gained many years of experience since the first moment they realized their path, they learned persistence and perserverence under the most frustrating of circumstances bringing out their talent in surprising ways. Currently recording their first demo together, with definitive plans for a full featured album, Ender plans to take their music to new heights, going beyond the realm of the local scene and expanding their music to different countries. Not only do they plan on bringing the music to the fans online via popular social networking sites and band websites, they also want to publish their work in multiple languages so as to reach a mixture of nationalities that can appreciate their talent.

Ryan and Thomas met almost 2 years ago through their jobs at a popular web hosting company but never became close until one fateful day, mid december 2009, when a jam sesh to end all jam sessions dropped their destinies in their laps. Ryan, having been inspired by the likes of jimmy hendrix and jimmy page to name just a few, could solo with soul and had intense vision for his songs, apparent in the music he wrote and played for Thomas that day. Thomas, having been brought up on Mo-Town oldies, which reflected in his singing style, showed an uncommon depth of soul in his voice, something Ryan had been waiting years to find. From that day on, they knew that they had finally come upon the time for them to rise from the ashes of past bands and create something that people could actually feel the connection to, like the legends who inspired them did.

When I was a kid, my sister and I would put all the pots and pans on the floor using wooden spoons as drumsticks and pull out the old guitar shaped pool floatie and put on a show for my parents to the tune of iconic classic rock bands like ZZ Top, Led Zeplin and the Rolling Stones. For me, it all started in my living room with the windows shaking from the surround sound. I knew I wanted to be on a real stage someday Having played venues from an elementary school courtyard to the locally renouned White Rabbit at which his band Right of Way broke a 2nd stage room capacity record, his most memorable gig was his high school talent show. "I was like, 'Wow, I could really do something with music. This could be something I could affect people with. I wanna do this the rest of my life." When asked about where he would like the music to take him in life and through Ender, he simply replied, "I would like to get signed so we can tour the world and reach people. We want to write songs to unite people through a certain mood or feeling and help people bring understanding or more meaning to life."

One quote that sticks out in my head always is... Great men come from humble beginnings. I have made sure to lead that way all my life. It has made me a better person and a greater friend. I choose to live greatness and present that in my music always. Passion and determination are what drives me in my music and I want to achieve my full potential with it. I only want to put out good music that makes people feel good or want to move. It has to either have a good message or good words. I currently spend my days uploading new Youtube videos band producing new songs with Ryan. I enjoy brainstorming new lyrics with his playing. I have worked with other artists in the past being accomplished on Amazon.com and iTunes. With over 1.7 million MySpace hits and almost half a million song plays, I have had a good amount of people hear my voice. I keep the ringtones free for download which has risen to 5,000 and growing. All of this to push out my name so when Endr takes the stage, people recognize the talent.

These days, this duo spends their time working with other musicians to collaborate and produce their work, spending most nights mixing down tracks and writing new songs. Ender plans on moving forward with their dreams, online and face to face, taking their music to new heights. With plans to translate their tracks so all nationalities can enjoy the music collectively, and also adding tour dates across the globe to unite fan bases of different origins, these guys have their sights set high and their heads in the right place. Big things will come from these two, you can count on it.
