Al Lay has been writing and playing music for over fifteen years. Although he plays most of the instruments in his songs, he excels at playing the bass guitar. This singer/songwriter also engineers and mixes his own tunes... spending most of his spare time in the studio. After graduating from Cal State with a Degree in Music/ Audio Recording, he spent five years at one of LA's finest recording studios. As a staff engineer, Al got a chance to meet and work with several of his influences. Some of his collaborations include; singing back up vocals for the punk band MXPX (A&M/ Tooth And Nail Records), singing a duet with Chantal Kreviazuk (Sony Music Canada), and playing bass with Black Sabbath (Sony Music)... Just to name a few. Al Lay acquired most of his experience as a musician by playing in local LA bands. He's made his way around the Hollywood circuit more than a few times; playing places like The Whisky, The Roxy, The Key Club, The Viper Room and The Opium Den. His last band, Sonny Bones, even landed him on a tour around the United States...This artist is no stranger to a stage! Al is finally putting his creative energy into a solo venture that is sure to take off. While his musical accomplishments throughout the last fifteen years have included many types of styles and genres, his solo efforts say a lot more about who he is. The "Al Lay Way" fuses pop and funk together with a "Motown" feel... We call it "New School Funktional-Pop"! You listen and be the judge. Just know... This is not the last you'll hear from AL LAY!
