Biography

The new dynamic Duo of Rock, legally named ROCK STAR & SUPER STAR, are seriously kickin' things up – way up! Reaching for the stars as always, these rockin' ruffian twin brothers have teamed up with a legendary producer and a Who’s Who of metal to deliver a life-changing concept album destined to make rock ‘n roll history.

The STARS' debut CD, titled Serenity, is the first ever music CD recommended by Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors and a project spun to raise awareness of the ever-growing issue of substance abuse. Inspired by Super Star’s own battle for sobriety, the brothers wrote and recorded the material for Serenity alongside many of their musical heroes to show others facing the struggle that great things can come from the decision to stay sober.

The Story of Serenity

Many of us don't like to be lectured. Many of us don't like to read a book. But most of us love music. That is why we created Serenity, the first music CD dedicated to combating addiction: because we believed that the language of music would reach addicts unable to take the helping hands offered them through other channels.

The Serenity story begins with twin brothers. One was struggling with a drug addiction that nearly killed him; the other was struggling with what to do about it. This was the dynamic between Super Star and Rock Star for nearly 18 years.

The brothers set out to write the songs for Serenity to convey the horror of addiction and the beauty of sobriety. What followed were hundreds of hours of conversation, practice, planning, pain, sadness, happiness, despair, hope, laughter, tears, negativity, positivity, brick walls, closed doors, screaming, kicking and - finally - success, including the support of many of the masters of metal who make their appearance on this very CD.

Our message is that addicts can win their struggle with addiction, that a life lived sober can be infinitely more rewarding, and that those dealing with an addict should never give up hope. Always love, always encourage, and never let despair get in the way.

Here it is - Serenity - our gift to the millions of people looking for a way out of the dark. May you find the light, and may it shine forever.
