Artist History After a five or six year stint in professional east coast copy bands, JaeCyber (aka Joe Newton) moved to Los Angeles, California to compose, perform & produce original music. As MIDI, SMPTE & Digital technologies began changing how music was created, recorded & distributed, he opened a computer-based, pre-production studio in Encino, California. During this period he formed and performed with three original music bands: Lost & Found, Prophecy, and its successor, Strategy. Over the next several years they performed regularly at Los Angeles' most popular original music venues including: The Troubadour; Madame Wong's West; FM Station; The Central; Blue Lagoon Saloon; HopSingh's; At My Place; Club 88 & the LASS. In the last several years, JaeCyber's primary music outlet has been the internet. A JAECYBER 2001 CD is currently under production. It will consist of all-new original songs composed, produced & released later in the year. JaeCyber (aka Joe Newton) is a member of Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI); American Federation of Musicians (AFM Local 47) & Screen Actors Guild (SAG).

Press Reviews Listen.Com Review 1: Music Producer, vocalist and composer JaeCyber graduated with honors from the Billy Joel school of Pop. Too much rock to be easy listening or Disco, but contains elements of both. Reviewed by Doug R. =============================================== Listen.com Review 2: JaeCyber(G&V) plays acoustic music that sounds like a more soulful Billy Joel with a warm toned Gibson J200 six string.
