\"Randall\"<\/a>

Randall, the sound engineer, makes it all sound soooo gooooood!\u00a0 All recordings are done at Avast(!) Sound Studios, Seattle, Washington<\/p><\/div>\n

Our names and personalities are as individually artistic as our band name “Khu.eex” which means “potlatch” in Tlingit. \u00a0 \u00a0 Preston called us together for the past three days to record the vocals with the already-recorded instrumentation.\u00a0 We worked on the vocals in this band to sound like a chorus with two and three-part harmonies of many, many voices as if there is a large group of singers as we do in our traditional songs and dances.\u00a0 In the olden days, our songs were always sung with harmonies; we want to inspire our traditional dance groups to bring this element back – I feel “Khu.eex” can be a powerful venue to help this intent.<\/p>\n

\"Om\"<\/a>

Singer extraordinaire: Om Jahari<\/p><\/div>\n

Om is the professional vocalist; the rest of us have sung (mainly our traditional songs) but we are not considered professional singers.\u00a0 However, having Om on board helped “round us out!”\u00a0 This is the first time the five of us have sung and recorded together; it was FUN!<\/p>\n

\"Preston\"<\/a>

Our fearless leader: Preston Singletary<\/p><\/div>\n

I don’t know if Preston has been a prominent singer with all the bands he has been in over the years as a musician.\u00a0 Khu.eex is his venue to begin to bring out his best voice.\u00a0 Khu.eex is one of his longest-time, biggest dream coming true!\u00a0 We who he has called together, are fortunate to share his dream.<\/p>\n
