Artist History It started when J.Jace & M.Regula began writing together at an early age. Not long after guitarist Tony Novarro, keyboardist Henry Kessler, bassist Kevin Joyce & drummer Sal Di Angelo were recruited to form the core of I.T.P.. Their first band attempt was called NorthWind which later was changed to Ivory Tower but due to legal technicalities was changed one last time to The Ivory Tower Project aka I.T.P.. Having made a name for themselves throughout the East Coast, Jace & Regula developed a distinct and versatile style as their work evolved into an extensive pop rock catalog. By the end of 2000 the remaining original members Jace, Regula and Novarro signed with indie label Guerrilla Records, who reissued their previous released single "My Name", with a one record deal and an option for a second.
