Saint Blesses Streetkind
Stars Confidential caught up with Super Producer, Ron Saint Germain on STREETKIND after a jazz session in New York City starring percussionist Will Calhoun. Ron Saint Germain is currently working on Living Colour's new album.
MIami, FL (Billboard Publicity Wire/PRWEB ) May 21, 2009 -- In Saint's 38+ years in the music business, Ron's work as a Producer, Engineer and Mixer has earned him over 60 Gold and Platinum Disc awards, four "Diamond Platinum" (10 million +) awards with total sales on the high (+) side of a quarter of a billion units. He has worked as producer, engineer, and/or mixer on 18 Grammy nominated projects garnering 12 winners (for the Artists). Ron considers himself to be truly blessed to have been fortunate enough to have worked with such Artists as: TOOL, MUSE, BAD BRAINS, 311, LIVING COLOR, U2, JIMI HENDRIX, RED HOT CHILIE PEPPERS, SOUNDGARDEN, MOS DEF, THE CURE, CREED, SONIC YOUTH, THE CULT, DURAN DURAN, MICK JAGGER, THE LAST POETS, and numerous others.
Ron has always strived to work with cutting edge Artists and has made significant music history in so doing (i.e., Bad Brains, Living Colour, 311, U2). His choice to work with STREETKIND came through that same principal. Ron said, "Alex Bodnar, was writing with Matt Messina (photo left), the lead singer of STREETKIND. I have learned over the years is that if you do not have a "signature voice" in front of a band, you have nothing! It doesn't matter how great the band may be, without that quality in a front man (or woman!) you will not succeed. Matt had that kind of 'signature' and the two of these guys were coming up with some terrific material. I was working in Miami so Matt and David Pollack, his partner in his independent label SWEETPINE RECORDS, and Alex actually drove out to meet me in person at the airport on my way out of town. We spoke for a bit and I listened to their material on the plane home…Fifty-two songs later, we were able to cut eleven, which we felt were album worthy and we worked out our deal and we went to work in my studio, SAINT'S PLACE. "STREETKIND is the next hot rock band to hit the national rock scene", Says Richard Victor Mahee, Stars Confidential. Matt Messina, lead singer of SREETKIND is currently in negotiations with Joe Joe Jones of Street Knowledge Publishing for a book deal and college promotinal tour.
