"Headshine’s rise from bonfires and beer to the House of Blues with legendary acts can be summed up by one piece of advice..." The World Famous KROQ

Biography: Mixing acoustic coastal-rock and a feel-good vibe, Headshine takes you on a free spirited ride up the coast with a soundtrack of life, love and the space between. A song that RAS wrote, sang and played on acoustic guitar caught the ear of producer Jim Perkins (Big B, Scott Russo, Cisco Adler, Kaleo of Pepper, Everlast). Jim showed the one-take demo to his business partner along with some other close friends in the music industry. For some reason, they wanted to hear more.

New CD "Diamond in the Sun" by Headshine is now on iTunes. One of the new songs 'Diamond in the Sun' co-written by RAS, Big B and Jim Perkins is also featured on Big B's new album "Fools Gold" now in stores nationwide with the Dirty Heads, P!nk, Slightly Stoopid and more.

With a touch of reggae and California sunshine, the Huntington Beach singer/songwriter has cultivated a surfer/acoustic sound called Headshine; and it's what happens when something comes alive inside and begins to radiate. One moment you're singing along and the next thing you know you're at a show rockin' a shaker, or crowd surfing with a bunch of good friends. Listen to the music and your head will shine.

The debut record "Better Things" by Headshine caught the attention of CBS radio. "Headshine, create music which conjures up these quintessential California moments with warm-bodied acoustics, Bob Marley-inspired reggae riffs, persuasive percussion, and a fearless fader scratching that gives their sound an understated edge. Much like the typical native Californian, Headshine is a musical mosaic of melodies effortlessly melting into each other, supported by luminous lyrics prompting the listeners towards self-compassion and positive action. This sound transmuted into feeling is the kind of experience that has prompted many a youthful daydreamer into finding their own dreams with the peaceful churn of the Pacific Ocean as their soundtrack." -KROQ

Word of mouth kick-started the Huntington Beach artist toward the national stage. Headshine has recently opened tour dates for Ziggy Marley, Jamaican reggae-legends The Wailers, Katchafire, Natty Vibes and Sashamon from Hawaii, Al Anderson’s Original Wailers, The English Beat, pop-punk’s Less Than Jake, the national rock band Lit and The Supervillians.

From stripped-down acoustic shows to main stage concerts and festivals, Headshine is also growing in the college market with performances at Oregon State University, Southern Illinois University, Idaho State University, Whitworth University in Spokane Washington, UC Davis, Sonoma State University, Fresno State University, Cal State University Northridge, Cal State University Dominguez Hills, Cal State University Fullerton, Cal State University Long Beach, San Diego State University. The debut single Better Things became a local favorite on 91X, Sophie103.7, 102.1 KPRI, 92.9 KJEE, and Headshine has also performed events with 93.3 KTCL, X107.5 KXTE and 93.1 KSLG in Humboldt.

Headshine was nominated for the OC Music Awards and was interviewed by KROQ after opening tour dates for Ziggy Marley, The Original Wailers, and The English Beat. Headshine has recently performed at Seattle Summer Concert Series, Colorado Summer Brew Fest, Palms Casino Reggae Pool Party in Las Vegas, KROQ N’ Surf Summer Concert, Doheny Surf Festival, Hops in Humboldt, Morro Bay Beer Festival, Sundance Film Festival and San Diego Winter Brew Fest hosted by FM94/9.
