In this episode, I speak with Bryan Czap, the former guitarist in The Dangerous Summer.
He is now working on his new musical project Violette with his partner Chelsea.
He's also working his way into becoming a prolific producer.
We talk about being a person on a mission and seeing goals and projects come to fruition. We also talk about his transition from The Dangerous Summer into producing and writing songs for Violette.
There's a lot to take away from this episode. It's a story about the different seasons of being a musician. Bryan also talks about the benefits of having a "producer-like" person in a musical project. Enjoy!
The Dangerous Summer is an American rock band from Ellicott City, Maryland, United States. The band's name is taken from the book of the same name by Ernest Hemingway. The band has stated influences from Third Eye Blind, Bright Eyes, U2, Phil Collins, Explosions in the Sky, Jimmy Eat World, and Andrew McMahon. Over the years the band has sold over 60,000 albums and over 300,000 singles.
The band formed in Ellicott City, Maryland, United States in the summer of 2006 to write their first EP, There Is No Such Thing as Science, which drew the attention of Hopeless Records and other labels in 2007. They signed with Hopeless Records within eight months (in April 2007) of starting the band during their senior year of high school. They then re-released their debut EP under a new name, If You Could Only Keep Me Alive, with new songs included.
In April 2009, the band played The Bamboozle.
The band's debut studio album, Reach for the Sun, was released on May 5, 2009, and reached number 42 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
