VIZIONZ was officially formed in August 2007 by lead-singer, Jesse, and guitarist, Pete/"Church". A few days later, Church contacted Johnny, a childhood friend about joining the band. Johnny currently fills the Bassist position in VIZIONZ.
After the band's fourth rehearsal, the members recorded a three-song demo at Centerline Studios in Santa Monica, California. The songs on the demo include: "Phenomenon", "Hypnotized", and "Never Too Late". These songs were recorded "live" with no leads or fills.
One year ago, on August 13th, 2007, the band launched its first website on My-Space. In that brief time, not only has the site had over 37,000 profile views but also, the original 2007 Demo has had over 23,500 plays.
Shortly thereafter, VIZIONZ released the single, "Phenomenon" on this website: mp3. com. au. "Phenomenon" debuted as a Top-10 song, across three of their categories, (Hard Rock, Rock, and Pop). For their second single, VIZIONZ released "Hypnotized", and it debuted in the Top-30.
In the meantime, VIZIONZ had also entered MetalMonthly. com's online "Battle of the Bands" and did very well, winning "7th Place".
By the Fall of 2007, VIZIONZ was nominated for the 2007 Rock City News Awards. (This is a yearly award given out to unsigned bands in Los Angeles, California.) By December 2007, it was announced that VIZIONZ had won! The Band excitedly accepted the 2007 Rock City News "Rockies' Award" for "Best New-Generation, Hard-Rock Band".
In early 2008, VIZIONZ went on hiatus in order to re-focus and write new material....Finally, in April of 2008, Stephany Rose led Church and Johnny through a compelling video-Interview to address questions about the future of VIZIONZ.
In May of 2008, VIZIONZ took the stage once more with new material and a new addition to the group. This was the debut of VIZIONZ' heavy-hitting guitarist, Henry Rojas.
The following month, VIZIONZ was chosen to be Airspun. com's "June 2008 Rock AirGods". The Band celebrated all of this growth by releasing interviews with HardRockHaven. net and Dischordence Magazine.
Momentum for VIZIONZ was still going strong into the next month, July 2008. That helped to propel VIZIONZ' music into regular rotation on "Maximum Threshold" radio. (This is a popular internet radio show featuring interviews and music from some of the best unsigned and signed rock artists.)
August of 2008 followed suit. VIZIONZ proceeded to place in the Top-20 at SPIN Magazine's Music Nation website in the Hennessy-sponsored, "Hot Pursuit" online-battle.
On the radio front, X103.9FM, a leading alternative rock radio station in Southern California, features a Local Band Spotlight show. By the end of the summer, "Phenomenon" and "Hypnotized" had both been added to this radio station's regular, Sunday night rotation. Furthermore, VIZIONZ headlined their X103.9 FM's Local Band Spotlight Show at a club called, "Stingers", located in San Bernardino, California.
At this stage in the band's evolution, VIZIONZ fortified the backbone of its music by injecting punk-rock musician, Sean Myers, on the drums.
Since then, VIZIONZ proudly announces that it has landed its first endorsement! with "Dean Markley".
The year 2008, still has some legs on it...and so does VIZIONZ! This Band's music is now on 40-plus websites, as well as radio stations - worldwide.
Most recently, VIZIONZ was honored to be the Headlining Performer for Atlantic Records' Red Carpet, Live-Music Event, at the MTV VMA Pre-Party, on September 7th, 2008.
Other thrilling news for the band VIZIONZ includes the upcoming release of a Live-CD on October 1st, 2008! There will also be six more live performances at Southern California venues by VIZIONZ....As for 2009, it may be arriving in just four short months, but VIZIONZ taunts back, "Hell Yeah! Bring - It - On!!"
