A little about us:

AUDIO MIND is a combination of several different styles of music fused together like Funk, Rock, Reggae, African, Latin, etc.  Audio Mind doesn't limit itself to just one type of music.  We believe that in order to reach a multicultural society, the music needs to be multicultural as well.

Steve Brady, who composes most of the music, also plays several instruments on their albums. Steve was the main force behind the production and engineering of the projects - mixing and mastering the music in his home studio for a true grass roots production.   Steve was born in Chicago, but at age six moved to a spiritual community in Tennessee called "The Farm" with his family. The Farm has a rich tradition in music, and Steve was fortunate enough to start learning to play the guitar at age seven. The Farm also has their own radio station, and the kids there were and are exposed to a wide variety of music at a young age. There have been many great bands to come out of The Farm; and each age group of kids coming up seems to get better and better. Steve still stays in contact with The Farm (his mother Mary Ellen still lives there) and everyone in the extended Farm family. We hope you enjoy the music; and thank you in advance for any support and/or promotion of our music.

Patrick Joseph Maloney (AKA Slyde) is the lyricist, song writer and lead vocalist. Patrick got his nickname fronting a 70's funk band (Groove Juicy) that he and Steve played in. Together they have performed almost every style of music and in far too many bands to mention here. Patrick's diversity also includes experience in dance, theater, film, commercial voice-over, and print work.  Patrick Maloney was born in NYC, and moved to California where he met up with Steve in Santa Rosa in 1993. Patrick played in several bands before then, one of them being OUNOU who were quite popular in the Bay Area. Patrick used the idea to start his own clothing line - "OUNOU Like It" surf wear.  Both Patrick and Steve are also into spiritual and physical fitness (Patrick is a maniac..;); as well natural foods, the environment, and the raising of consciousness in our society. This is the main message they try to portray through their song lyrics.  Patrick now lives in San Francisco where he works and plays music.

Sean Napier (Bass Guitar) was born in California, but moved to The Farm in 1971 with the original Caravan.  He was one of the first settlers of The Farm which became the largest community of it's kind.  Sean met Steve on The Farm, and they started playing music together around age 8 or 9.  They have been playing together for over 25 years, and have written over 80 songs together in that time.  Sean is one of the most creative and funniest people you will ever meet in your life.  He even created his own language to describe his creative way of looking at the world.  Many people still use some of his words and phrases.  It has been a blessing to know Sean.  He now lives in Sonoma, Ca. and works as a Psychological Technician with people who have developmental disabilities.

Robert Demers (Drums) was born in Connecticut, but came to The Farm in the late 70's.  He met Sean and Steve there, and started a band together around age 10.  They played rock and roll and New Wave music at school functions and band gigs put on by The Farm.  The Farm encouraged the kids to play music and always provided a music room to practice.  Robert is a very energetic and funny person as well.  He has great stage presence, and is a great drummer.  Robert, Sean, and Steve have all been playing together for over 20 years, and it has been a great experience for them as they have become like brothers.  Robert now lives in Arcata, Ca where he lives with his wife and family.  

Namaste...
