The early morning sun's bearing down upon us

22.06.10
One of the many positive traits we can take from our inspiring All White's performance to date is I feel best summed up by Coach Ricki Herbert quoted after this morning's match, "We are always daring to dream."
Daring to dream is a trait shared by many of the musicians found on Amplifier, and elsewhere for that matter. If a musician doesn't dream about their art and what they could achieve if they put the effort in then I would imagine many of the songs and releases that make up the site may never have happened.
Not everyone gets to realise their dreams in a manner like the All Whites, yet for every big success there are dozens of smaller ones and for many a artist getting their music into the public sphere is a significant dream realised.
Dare to dream.
Release Of The Week
Pieter T - Life, Love And Lessons
Eagerly awaited by his growing fan base, Pieter T has been working hard in the studio, gigging, photo shoots and working on his album artwork to bring his collection of original urban styled music to you!
He's dropped 4 amazing singles onto radio which will feature on Life, Love and Lessons - Cold Nights, Business, Cant Stop Loving You and Something Else, so its the perfect time for a full album of Pieter T songs.
All Pieter T's tracks have been recorded, mixed and mastered at Kog Studio, now in the Waitakere ranges of Auckland. In the studio he's been working with Chris Chetland, Chong-Nee and Regz Riri to ensure the album is of the highest production levels to match his smooth vocal style and beautifully produced beats.
