Artist description FiXation 29 is described by Chicago NewCity Magazine as being "The beginning of a new movement in modern music." Under the leadership of Vocalist/songwriter Danny Orlando, the recent release of "Musically Acrobatic", FiXation 29's debut album, has resulted in an extensive amount of media attention. This is the result of the incredible take-over of the project by Orlando, after the departure of two out of the three other members. This displayed a very surprising spawning of new music by Danny, who self-recorded, mixed, AND produced the new disc at OMI Studios in Chicago. It seems as though a very extensive future is inevitable for Danny and FiXation 29, who solely writes and records, then playing live with Corky Vaia {drummer of original group} and several other very talented Chicago Musicians.
