"Well if I wasn't a convert of Light Euphoric before listening to the CD, I sure am one now. I thought it was just fantastic! I must admit I was a bit hesitant given the assumed genre, but I was quite mistaken as the CD blends many genres, thus creating its own...and the tunes are all so damned catchy. I still can't stop singing One With The World! It's certainly a very strong and powerful CD...and with so much crap being released these days it stands out on its own by a long-shot! Excellent music, great message. You've done very, very well and I'm extremely impressed." - DJ Lanny K/EarPimp Music - Sydney, Australia

Chad Quist and Tam Katzin make an amazing duo! The title track "One With The World" has a great message and is probably my favorite song on this EP.
It is great to see musicians & singers that still believe in peace.

As a music lover, I thought the songs from Light Euphoric were beautiful and yet subtly simple until my musician trained ears kicked in. Wow – I had to blink!
Deceptively complex, with a depth of musicality, harmony and emotion, Light Euphoric has something to offer… not only to the music industry, but with a message to the world. I am still breathless. ~ SirenSong Productions/Seattle, WA

Bio
Light Euphoric’s Chad Quist and Tam Katzin have plenty of credits behind them if one were to look at their personal music history. Kenny G, Ray Charles, Tower Of Power, George Benson, Basia, Huey Lewis, Head East, Diane Schuur, Dave Grusin, Lou Rawls, Jamie Foxx, Pat Benatar, Gladys Knight, Roberta Flack, Marvin Hamlisch, Diane Reeves, Clark Terry, Lionel Hampton, Jerry Mulligan, Lou Tobaken and Louie Bellson are just some of the names they have collectively shared stages and projects with.
And if this sample list doesn’t show enough variety in their musical ability, when you look a little further, you will find that Chad still tours with Big Brother and the Holding Company, of Janis Joplin fame and has enjoyed a ten year recording career with Muzak.
However, if you get the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with either of these two amazing people, you will find them to be extremely humble, kind and completely passionate about their musical creation, “Light Euphoric”. Unlike other artists, you won’t hear them discuss their past accolades in the music industry.
You won’t hear much about how they started or the European tours through the Alps. Instead, they will enrapture you with their humanitarian affection and give you a glimpse into who they are now and who they are becoming. And, most of all, you will hear of their true desire to assist humanity through the only way they know how… one song at a time.
So, sit back and listen to the audio invitation that “Light Euphoric” has sent to all that inhabit this planet. For everyone is invited to come to the party and celebrate the new adventures of humanitarian based music. Music Tam and Chad call, “Humanitarian Pop”.
