Bio

Most of the members are from Hemet California except for vocalist Omar Medina. He was born and raised in Compton Ca. Growing up, he listened to a lot of popular music, hip hop and gangster rap; music kids in Compton where listening to at the time. Omar's Dad didn’t listened to any of that so he tried exposing him to many great bands in particular music from the late 60's and 70's especially since Omar's Dad was in a band and toured a lot. His Dad made him listened to bands like The Beatles, Doors, Zep, Floyd, and Bee Gees but Omar was too busy playing outside and pre-occupied with friends. It wasn’t until Omar's high school years that his family moved from the LA hood to Riverside County, for the sake of leaving chaos behind and providing a better life for Omar and his siblings. By then, Omar was a teen ager and knew what he wanted to do. "Play music like my pops" he said. Omar was in many, many different types of bands and played different types of genres throughout. After high school and many bands later, Omar put together a band that featured great musicians but lacked something. It lacked the essentials that and elements that carried influences from the bands that Omar remembered listening as a little kid. It was missing harmonies, experimental and groovy vibes. Because Omar's band played often, he met many front men from other bands and had something in common musically. They all loved Radiohead and psychedelic bands. "We all have to jam!!" they all said and agreed for a jam session. Once they did It was magic, and they all knew they had to make some kind of a sacrifice to make this new band work since 4 out of 5 of them where front men for their own respective band. James Cooper was the front man for his band but made a sacrifice to become a drummer/ back up vocalist because he believed in the vision and future they shared. Matt Rozo and Miles Wong provided Keys and guitar alternating to contribute their vision. This band is what we know called Family of light. They are all multi-instrumentalist and have a high sense of musical knowledge. They have played many shows together and released a full length album entitled "Technicolor in stereo". It has received many positive reviews live and through press. Every show has an energetic level of stage presence conducted by the separate channels of full musicianship. Omar is a vocalist/guitar/percussionist/keys/bass. James cooper plays drums/percussion/vocals. Miles Wong plays bass/guitar/synths and Matt Rozo plays guitar/electronics/synths/back up vocals
