Bio: Mixing acoustic coastal-rock and a feel-good vibe, Headshine takes you on a free-spirited ride up the coast with a sound track 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.

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, England's renown English Beat, pop-punk’s Less Than Jake, the national rock band Lit, The Supervillians, Al Anderson's Original Wailers, Sashamon and Natty Vibes from Hawaii.

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, Idaho State University, Southern Illinois University, Whitworth University in Spokane Washington, UC Davis, 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 iTunes release titled: 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 94.1 KSLG in Humboldt.

Headshine was nominated for the 2013 OC Music Awards and was recently interviewed by KROQ after opening for Ziggy Marley, The Original Wailers, and The English Beat. Headshine also headlined the Morro Bay Beer Festival, Hops in Humboldt, and the grand opening of Villa San Juliette Vineyard hosted by TV producers Ken Warwick / Nigel Lythgoe. Headshine performed live on television at Sundance Film Festival and was also featured in a new commercial by Metrolink.

Headshine is now finishing a new record with producer Jim Perkins, and more shows are being added. Come say hi on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram.
