Cameron Molloy Singer, Songwriter Extraordinaire

 Cameron Molloy 2014 quote

Cameron Molloy was first introduced on this site this past January in an exclusive introductory feature article. We learned much about Cameron and the beginning of his musical career in that publication. Now nearly a year later, we wanted to bring you up to date with this amazing young musical prodigy.

Busy Recording Artist Debut EP

While some young artists are doing a lot of cover songs Cameron has been writing, performing, and recording his own original music. Cameron was interviewed by my good friend Bruce Owens from “Good Morning Hudson Valley” back in 2013, and that interview can still be found on this site in the Radio Interview section.

Summer is typically a busy time for young artists and this summer has been no exception for Cameron! At the beginning of summer, he began vocal lessons with Rose Marie Bernaquez (who worked as a voice evaluator for Cirque de Soleil), and also continued with his guitar and music theory lessons. Cameron had twelve bookings at various events over the summer, highlighted with being mentored at a weeklong songwriter’s workshop by Bruce Guthro, Nathan Rogers, Kim Dunn and Chuck Brodsky. In addition, Cameron has continued his support of community fundraising for Cancer Research and other local charitable events.

Cameron Molloy EP

 

Another milestone in Cameron’s journey this year was the June release of his all original, 5 track EP. It truly was an incredible experience working with local producer Andre Leblanc and the well respected Pumpk’n Patch Studio. The result was a top shelf, radio ready ep, which has been played on Radio stations around the world and locally.

His EP is available everywhere online (itunes, Amazon etc), physical copies are available at CDBaby and signed copies are available directly from Cameron upon request. You will also find a large ad on this site with exclusive clips of his songs on that EP.

REBELMANN® Chicago’s Rock‘n Roll‘n Mann-iacs

rebelmann registered logo 495rm

REBELMANN® is exactly what the trademarked name implies:  REBEL – MANN. The teen rock band sensation from Chicago consists of siblings Clayton Mann, and his twin brothers, Johnathon and Bryce Mann. Music is obviously what they do.  Schooled in the arts from a very early age; the Mann brothers have combined training on piano, viola, cello, bass guitar, guitar, and drums.  All three brothers played in their school’s orchestra, and remain schooled in music today. It is with this desire to play “real” music, that the Mann brothers chose the name of their band – REBELMANN® . The name “REBEL” because they play “real” music, no computers, no backing tracks, just live music; and “MANN,” well because that is obvious.  In addition to their band name, all 3 brothers helped design their trademarked crossed-guitar logo.  With the clashing lefty and righty guitars, the broken strings represent the brother’s hard-hitting sound of rock ‘n roll.  Johnathon added the ‘electrical sparks’ around the guitars, Clayton the barbed wire, and Bryce the wings as a nod to the history of rock ‘n roll.

REBELMANN
(REBELMANN) is: Clayton , Johnathon & Bryce Mann

The Mann’s are serious about music. Their resume validates it: The famed Whisky-a-Go-Go on the Hollywood Sunset Strip, not once, but twice; called back by Whisky management to open for LA Guns New Year’s Eve. That was when Clayton was just 12 years old. Second place – on a coin toss – at the Chicago Hard Rock Battle of the Bands; a 3 AM encore decided that one! (Yes, 3 AM, at just 13 and 16 years old.) Nashville has been played, Dallas too; not to mention the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Currently, REBELMANN® is a touring artist on the anti-bullying Teen Nation Tour, set to rock NASCAR’s Charlotte Motor Speedway this October. They simply call it, “on the grind.”

And then there’s Gene Simmons, the iconic bassist and founder of the megaband, KISS.   Would you ever believe a headline to read like this?

“Gene Simmons Blown Away By 13-Year-Old Guitarist”

Yes, Clayton Mann pulled that one off too!

It’s all good with Mr. Simmons. REBELMANN® attended the Rock Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas where they met the iconic bassist, along with former KISS guitarist, Bruce Kulick, who now mentors the young band of brothers.
