PRESS RELEASE - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY – 24th FEBRUARY 2011
RECORDING ARTIST ‘MYSELF’ HAS SIGNED WITH BLUE PIE
Sydney – 24th February 2011 – Effective Immediately – Recording artist ‘Myself’ has been
signed to a digital distribution deal for the world with Blue Pie
Recording artist “MYSELF” has signed to Blue Pie Records. Akil Omari is ‘MYSELF’. Hailed as the new
king of rock, ‘MYSELF’ has been compared to David Bowie and Iggy Pop with the swagger of a young
and vibrant Mick Jagger.
With his forthcoming album Punk Floyd, on tap to take the world by storm, 'MYSELF' looks to usher in
a new chapter in classic rock history. Punk Floyd is a power-packed manifesto that takes the listener
on a frenzied rock & roller coaster ride fueled by the sure-fire global smashes & HD videos for
'Saint/Sinner', 'Do The Zombie Walk', 'Needless 2 Say' and 'I'll Get Better B4 It Gets Worse'
Punk Floyd showcases an artist on the rise of super-stardom and one who is ready to take his place
among rock royalty. The sheer raw energy is captured in full effect by a legendary superstar band.
‘MYSELF’ has brought together a talented ‘All-Star’ band to support his unique vocals and song-
writing prowess, featuring Rocky George (of Suicidal Tendencies), Ivan Neville (of Keith
Richards/Rolling Stones), Greg Bell and Leon Mobley (of Ben Harper). Moreover, his most recent 6-
track EP ‘Punk Floyd’ was engineered by Erick Labson (Black Eyed Peas & Lady Gaga) and mixed by
Grammy Winners Sylvia Massey (Tool), Rich Veltron (Rage Against the Machine) and Mike
Forsemkemper (Bill Laswell).
‘MYSELF’ has created a stir and has been endorsed and is supported by some of the biggest names in
the business. Madonna has given credit to ‘MYSELF’ for ‘keeping the spirit of punk-rock alive’, and we
all know that whatever Madonna says, goes. With this amazing bunch of musicians supporting him
and engineered and mastered by some of the best in the business, his new EP ‘Punk Floyd’ will blow
you away.
‘MYSELF’ has been featured across the globe on various high-profile media outlets such as MTV, MTV
Japan, BBC Radio, Timeout NY and Billboard Magazine, just to name a few.
Check out ‘MYSELF’ if you are a fan of Nirvana, The Clash, Radiohead, Iggy Pop and Weezer.
