With Musical Direction by:
Oxygenstar ///
http://www.oxygenstarpower.com/
To fully comprehend the the force that drives OxygenStar (Carl Peczynski), one must travel back in time to '96 when MTV was still playing music.Inspired by Michael J Fox's performance during the 'Enchantment Under the Sea' dance, Carl was immediately drawn to the sound of an electric guitar. From that day forward, Carl developed an ongoing interest in other instruments, such as piano and the drumset. Self-taught and just out of high school, he took to working on solo electronic projects. By the year 2000, OxygenStar quickly became the most important adventure of Carl's musical pursuit and has grown far too large to be contained in his apartment.
