Bio
Historically (and poetically), the lanky chanteuse, Taylor Marks and her honeyed drummer, Jimmy Musto fell in love at first sight on a hot July night in 2000, and the moody, late night funk/jazz/alterna-pop band 'VESSTA' was born before the sun came up the following morning. Two weeks after their introduction, Marks moved into Musto’s Topanga Canyon, CA home, and six months later, just before midnight in the dead of winter (wearing UGG boots and lingerie), the musical match made in heaven exchanged vows in their living room.
At first, recording sessions were limited to a dank basement and an 8-track until a muddy cassette tape demo fell within earshot of an independent investor in December 2000, and their obsolete basement was transformed into a multi-track recording studio called “The Dungeon”. By New Years 2001, production of VESSTA’S debut CD was in full swing. “There isn’t anything sweeter than late, late night in The Dungeon with a bottle of wine, a cigarette and Neumann in my face,” declares Marks. “The Dungeon is like VESSTA’s fifth band member – all of our music happens in that room under pretty decadent conditions – and it bleeds straight through to tape.”
Currently, the band is in the studio wrapping up the independent production of their forthcoming debut CD, ‘EZ 2 PLEASE’. Mixdown will be engineered by mixer/producer Billy Moss (Stevie Nicks, Gin Blossoms), owner of Vintage Recorders, at his newly built studio in Sedona, AZ (summer 2002).
