When I made my first appearance on planet earth, I had a pen in one hand and notepad in the other. Since then, well, not that much has changed. I make some mean desserts and love to create. I see food as my artwork or canvas, if you will, and I love the arts in pretty much any form.
Music is definitely engraved in my soul. Whether it be listening, writing, composing, recording or performing, music always inspires me. I’m always blown away at how much of an impact music can have on someone. A person can have dementia and not remember anything, but then they remember the melody from a song they heard 60 years ago. It’s a beautiful thing how impressionable a song can be on someone and how it can take you back to a special moment when you were a kid.
I’m kind of a workaholic and my favorite song is Here Comes The Sun. The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Marshall Tucker, The Guess Who, Supertramp and Clare Torry are a few of my most favorite artists. I’m so grateful that I am blessed to be doing what I love and I hope my music can inspire you the way it has for me… as a spiritual transformation to a better life on earth.

To say that music is a big part of my life would be an understatement. I've been singing since I could remember, and playing the piano since I was a baby. Music has always been there for me. When I'm sad, happy, lonely, upset, excited, or any other emotion a human can have, I feel that music truly is one of the most powerful things here on earth. Some of my biggest influences are amazing bands and singer-songwriters such as Cat Stevens, Donovan, Janis Joplin, Heart, Stevie Nicks, Jason Mraz, The Guess Who, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Alanis Morissette, Electric Light Orchestra, Iron & Wine and well, the list is so long it would take all day.
When I’m not singing you can find me either sewing, drawing, playing chess, watching either Family Guy or Seinfeld, watching a movie, going bowling, or just enjoying life and having fun. You could also say that attempting to make people laugh is a hobby of mine. I will happily make myself look like a complete doofus if it will make somebody have a good chuckle. All in all, I think if everyone laughed more, smiled more, had more fun, and loved more, we as a people would be better off.

My friends would probably classify me as the spaz. I break pretty much every rule put in front of me and I love doing what people tell me I’m not going to be able to do, or that it would be to hard. I am always up for a good time and my friends say I’m the crazy one!
Music has always been a huge part of my life and one of my biggest influences. Ever since I was a little kid my family and I always talked about changing the world to make it a better place and more and more I saw that vision as my own and what I’m here on earth for.
When I’m not singing or chillin’ with my band I LOVE to dance, do makeup (I am a make up artist), I love to play football, basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, hockey and basically any sport put in front of me!
Spencer - Vocals, Guitar, Drums
Once I picked up my first guitar at the age of 12 I knew I would be playing music for a long time. Music has always been my safe haven, my place of creativity, freedom, and hope. I love how something so intangible, like music, can do so many positive things.
It wasn’t until later that I began to realize the magnitude of power music has over people. It’s so cool how music can bring people together and make everybody feel so good. To me, connecting spirituality and music is a great expression tool that helps me remember how good life is, no matter what the circumstances are. It has always been about feeling to me rather than thinking, and that’s what music has got to be about, pure expression. In the end, all I want to do is send people the love and joy that music gave me.
Besides music, I really love surfing, basketball, and art. I’m not very good at any of those things but I just like having a good time. I‘m always cracking jokes and having fun. I guess I kind of have to because I have 6 younger siblings. I really enjoy not taking life so seriously. We all have to chill out – that way things flow a lot smoother.
Kyre - Vocals, Bass
I spawned from volcanic ash many years ago with my bass in hand. Since then I’ve been holding down cosmic vibrations all over the world. Music and nature are my two biggest passions and when I’m not playing music, I’m exploring the world and climbing anything in sight.
Some of my biggest influences are The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Charlie Daniels Band, Elvin Bishop, Steve Poltz, Radiohead, Tame Impala and Black Sabbath. The universe has given me an immense amount of love and happiness and I’m so grateful to be living out my dreams everyday as a part of Truth on Earth.
Julian - Vocals, Keyboards, Percussion
Raised in recording studios since I could walk, music has always been my first love. Living directly on groovin’ sounds from geniuses like James Brown, Prince, Curtis Mayfield, The Meters and Juan Atkins, these people have enlightened my musical senses.
My passion is all phases of song creation… writing, arranging, producing, engineering and mastering. To me a good burrito is also crucial to a successful day in the studio. I am a collector of vintage keyboards and synthesizers because it gives an idea of where music came from and defines the rich history of the most the successful artists of the past 50 years.
I’ve been in a lot of projects over my career but I joined Truth On Earth because of the potential to be part of a mission that is bigger than the band itself. The music is timeless with the potential to change lives and in the process help build a better world.
