Top 5 Feature: Naked Eye

 

Naked Eye began in 2023 near the Dayton, Ohio area. Originally, recording songs came naturally and it was just for fun before it turned into a full blown project that evolved from a DIY home studio to currently performing live as often as possible. 


The solo artist blends grunge, having low tuned bassy riffs, and new wave, having danceable drum beats with synthesizers—Neo Wave or New Wave Grunge. “You can surf these waves, but they are grungy!”


Naked Eye’s self-recorded, self-produced and mastered, self-designed debut CD, entitled, Chrysalis, is available now along with new single “Transcend/Dance,” which can be heard via streaming services. Chrysalis is all over the place musically, but “Transcend/Dance,” and all other new material, is more in line with each other.


As the year progresses more singles will be released with hopes to have a full-length album out by the end of the year. 


As a solo act, musician/artist, and music engineer, Naked Eye performs live with vocals and electric guitar, along with self-produced backing tracks that feature drums and occasional synthesizers.

Favorite Personal Mantras

1. My mind is my own, and I am able to think freely, for myself, and fearlessly. 

2. I am able to control my thoughts, actions, and reactions in life. "Control" in any other fashion is illusion.

3. I am loved and I am loving.

4. Despite outside interference, happiness is a choice and I choose to live a life and cultivate a mind and soul that are happy.

5. We are all one. I am one with everyone and everything and everyone and everything is one with me. The world works better, when we are working together.
