Violet Fuse Bios

	Violet Fuse
	Violet Fuse is a high energy rock band from London Ontario with influences rooted in classic hard rock. This influence is evident in their music which can be described as hard rock with a modern edge. While the band formed in late 2006 with original singer Tim Vujicic (of the band Tommyrot) and Scott Vincent (guitar) when they met in college, the band became complete in June 2007 adding Kyle Mayer (current vocals/bass) and Thom Edwards (drums). Violet Fuse has been ripping up stages for more than 3 years gaining a faithful local following because of their energetic live shows. In April 2008 Vujicic made a switch to Tommyrot creating an opportunity for Mayer to transition to the role of lead vocals. This lineup created a new dynamic to the band and after a break from the stage to write, Violet Fuse emerged as a power trio in 2009 with new songs and a renewed live show that has them being re-booked at venues around London time and time again. Violet Fuse has more than 44 years of musical experience between them. The band has been recently recognized in the critical community being nominated for both London Music Awards and Jack Richardson Awards in 2010. On August 7th 2010 the band is poised to release their debut self titled full length album. Standout tracks like Castle Walls and RNFNR merge Mayer's melodic vocals with Vincent's ear splitting guitar solos and Edwards' energetic drumming to create a collection of high energy rock at its finest. With so much opportunity on the horizon in the remainder of 2010, Violet Fuse will not be slowing down and will continue to do what they do best…Rock!

Scott Vincent

Scott Vincent was born and raised in London, Ontario. He is the youngest in the group at 22 years old. Scott started his musical career by picking up a guitar at the age of 9. Scott also took classical guitar for 4 years in high school to further his knowledge of musical theory. He has always loved classic rock and rock n roll growing up and it's his prefered genre.

His main infulences for guitar include Jimmy Page, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Lifeson, etc... and it shows in his playing style. He is a key component in the song writing and overall sound of Violet Fuse.

	Kyle Mayer
	Hailing from Kitchener Ontario, Kyle has been involved with various bands throughout his musical career. Though most of his previous band experience involved Kyle playing guitar and singing, he branched out to playing the bass guitar for Violet Fuse. Recently having focused on his solo acoustic work, Kyle is excited that he is once again rocking out with a group of very talented musicians. What Kyle lacks in experience in playing the bass, he makes up for with his enthusiasm and stage presence. Also having a decade of guitar experience hasn’t hurt. Kyle is very experienced vocally and his lyrics and melodic tone are the hook that gets stuck in your head.

Thom Edwards

Born in Sault. Ste. Marie, and raised in Mattawa ON., Thom grew up with music in the roots. Coming from a musical family, with his dad being a drummer as well, he started playing drums at the age of 11. Playing in bands throughout high school and being his dad's sound man/roadie from the age of 15-19, he got the live band experience at an early age. Thom moved to London at the age of 20 to experience a new city and to further his musical career. He's jammed with numerous bands before joining "The Bumps" in 2004, an original hard rock band who played around Southern Ontario but only recorded an EP before the break up in the summer of 2006. Thom joined Violet Fuse in June 2007 when he answered a Classified ad posted by the band.
