Biography

GEOFF WESTEN has a long history in music and design, working on scores of projects with hundreds of musicians and talented artists in all fields. He has taken his considerable artistic experience and packaged them all under the Disturbing Media banner; comprised of his two major disciplines-visuals under Oz Studios, and audio under his Disturbing Music label.

Geoff apprenticed his musical craft with pop music masters in the studio, on television and on the road. His apprenticeship took on various forms: owning a recording studio; on the road with his own bands and top commercial pop artists; and on television in the house band on a network show.

"I spent a few years touring with a group of amazing professionals. The difference between working with them and the 'garage band' musician was an epiphany for me. Now, I just can't settle for working with anything less." Those players were the real deal, they had backed-up top songwriters (from Neil Diamond and Elton John to Alice Cooper and Mac Davis) he appreciated the process and soaked up every detail like a sponge. But when the band started playing Vegas, he knew it was time to move on.
