Artist Spotlight

Dean18 has an original sound that comes from many different musical influences that include Radiohead, Elvis Costello, The Talking Heads, Broken Social Scene and The Killers. That’s some very interesting sway! Both songs on the artist’s Broadjam profile are unique but incorporate musical textures that explore varying pop styles in original ways. Dean18 is described as "different without being weird (okay, sometimes a little weird)."

New material will be released in the upcoming year on the new CD entitled "Evolution."
