Artist History JiXeR has been envolved with music composition and programming for about many years. He originated in Houston's own, "Tangible Blue". Which later went their seperate ways due to some personal problems with the artists. In the band was: Ryan Ripple (Enchanted) on bass and programming, Matt Parker (JiXeR) on guitar and programming, and Casey Collier on vocals.

Press Reviews Honored to be currently featured in multiple Cloud10.tv shows. Be sure to watch them. "JiXeR is all over the place, jumping from subdued Techno excursions to Lo-Fi ballads to synthetic Metal with looping guitar tracks over stiff programming." - E. Lurker(listen.com) "UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! This is really something I can get into. I love the blend of the electronics and guitars. It really adds a "rock" feel to it, but still keeping it digital. One of the better artists I have listened to in a long time." - "Your_Worst_Nightmare" (listen.com) "Quirky breakbeat tracks wrapped in snarled electronic textures and rock references." -Melissa P.(listen.com)
