Bio

Wave Pool has one main member, Chad Holland, who considers himself mainly a singer/song writer. He says the name Wave Pool best represents what his music is, a wave pool of thought, melody, inspiration, heart and sound. Wave Pool’s sound is a combination of rock, acoustic rock, and a dash of folk rock. Holland’s great lyrics, melodies and hooks, with an enjoyably powerful new voice, draw the listener in leaving you wanting more.

Holland began playing guitar during high school while living in North East Arizona on the Navajo Indian Reservation where his mother taught elementary school. It was there that Holland felt he was almost forced to find himself and playing guitar and songwriting quickly became his form of expression and way to interpret the world and his place in it.

After high school Holland and his mother moved back to Utah where they had lived prior to his high school years. Over the next few years Holland continued to write songs and later recruited long time friend and accomplished drummer, Jared Ragozzine, to work together to record the debut Wave Pool album, Carpe Diem. The album was written, produced, and recorded by Holland. Carpe Diem was released in December of 2007.

Carpe Diem features Jon Chase, a known associate of Ragozzine's, who was invited to join in on the rhythm section on bass guitar. A number of songs also features pianist Lani Marie Hyer.

Holland moved to New York City in the summer of 2008 to continue pursuing his musical aspirations, where he has continued writing songs and has a new album project under way, soon to record in New York.

Wave Pool has been said to have some similar sounds to bands like Tonic, Five For Fighting, Ben Folds Five, but with a sound all their own. Sited influences include Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, Simon and Garfunkel, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sarah McLaughlin, Jewel, Tracy Chapman and others.
