PREZENS
BEHIND THE MUSIC

PREZENS is an American Modern Rock Band with a polished, radio-ready sound from New Haven County, Connecticut. A few of their influences include Tonic, Muse, Vertical Horizon, The Fray and, of course, The Beatles.

Founded in 1995 by friends Marc DiBerardino and Mike Drew, their band name is derived from presence…as in …”an aura”. The band toured extensively throughout the Tri-State area [NY, NJ, and CT] performing at legendary venues such as, The Bitter End, CBGBs, Cafe A-Go-Go, Toad’s Place, and Tuxedo Junction to name a few. They’ve been the opening act for major-label artists such as, Fuel, Gavin DeGraw, Men at Work, and Firehouse among others. In the late 1990s, they made several appearances on WPLR, Radio 104.1, KC101, and were invited to play at Radio 104’s big festivals at “The Meadows”. They performed live on-air for WDST radio Woodstock, NY at the Joyous Lake and even had 2 songs make the charts….one in Iowa…and the other in Poland!

Their powerfully rich & emotive vocals and melodic radio-friendly hooks combine with a super-tight rhythm section of legendary hired guns [Lester Estelle Jr., drummer from Kelly Clarkson’s band, NY Blues Hall of Fame drummer, Kevin Hupp, Kevin Jenkins, bassist for Cindi Lauper, Craig Kew, bassist for Kerry Livgren of Kansas] to produce a sound that feels both new and timeless.
