The members of SOMEBODYSOMEONE play with the hard edge one would expect from a band working its way through the L.A. club scene. It would take a sophisticated ear to detect the essence of Wagner and Bartok. The average listener is more likely to pick up on the melancholy counterpoint of Tori Amos that underscores the band's heavy rock texture in songs like "Undone" and " Anymore".
[Their] songs juxtapose introspective lyrics with a bolder sound. The result is a world-weary optimism that seeks to break through the barrier that separates us from each other by discovering the common ground in all of us.

Bio
How do you tell your story?what makes your life's experience yours, and yours alone?
The truth lies in simplicity. Our collective differences unify us. SOMEBODYSOMEONE began as four people ... cultures ... life experiences ... four different reflections in the same mirror ... through words and music.
SOMEBODYSOMEONE breaks through the barrier that separates us from each other by discovering the common ground in all of us: the soul ...breathing hopes, fears, pain, pleasure, the human experience into each of us.
Patrick Alan Casey grew up in a small town in Missouri. He was born into a family where music was all-encompassing. Patrick soon began to develop a name for himself across the region as a developing musical prodigy. He was greatly influenced by gospel music at an early age. In 1996, he moved to California to attend Pepperdine University, where he developed his vocal prowess studying classical music and Opera. As a freshman, he discovered Tori Amos and the power that raw emotional honesty that could be felt through songwriting. While in Malibu, Patrick got to meet and work with one of his life-long idols, David Foster. Working with him over the last few years counts as one of the most prized events of Patrick's life.
In 2003, Patrick met Jeff Sorenson, and he knew that he was the drummer who would bring his band together. Jeff has played with many multi-platinum artists and bands. The Wisconsin native attended the highly prestigious music school at the University of North Texas, regarded as the best percussion school in the country. After playing in and around Texas for several years, he made the move from Texas to California to begin forming the band with Patrick. He is currently an endorsed artist with DC California drums and Soultone cymbals.
In 2005, Patrick and Jeff found Kayta Matsuno and Doug Gild.
Kayta is a virtuoso of the guitar. After he graduated from renowned Berkell College of Music in Boston, he moved to Los Angeles. The broad capacity of his play style (From Gosple, R&B through country, Jazz to Rock) helped him to start his career as a session guitarist. The credit includes, Marlena Shaw, Steve Porcaro, Virgil Donatti, Tony Macalpine, Myra (ex Disney Record) Mauli. B, Lisa (Avex trax) NOVO philharmonic orchestra. Now He is pouring all the ideas acquired through his sessions into this band, so that his influence in this band artistically and technically is invaluable.
Doug Gild is a seasoned veteran of the LA music scene. He has been playing in bands since his teens, playing in just about every venue in Los Angeles and touring nationally with major acts. His musical style heavily influences SOMEBODYSOMEONE and its creative direction. Doug is also a master of the visual arts. He is currently directing the band's EPK...a short film combining music and video as a promotional tool.
