Description
Judd Starr's release of his debut album Luminescent, is a culmination of his musical experience from his childhood, until the very moment when he recorded the album as an adult. Judd wrote, performed, recorded and mixed the entire album himself. This jack-of-all-trades is a Los Angeles native who's been playing music since the age of 10. Judd gigged extensively around the L.A. club scene with his band for about a year at the age of 17 until he decided that it was time for him to go solo. Starr then recorded a solo demo that got much positive feedback and eventually lead to a recording deal offered by JCI Records. It was around this time that Judd began fine-tuning the recording, mixing, and production skills that translated into a few smaller projects for the Leeza show and Playboy Music.
His musical resume is almost as eclectic as his musical voice. He has worked for NBC, (on the award winning show "Starting Over") MTV (provided music for The Real World, Road Rules and The Little Talent Show) and on the set of several movies including: UFO's and the Alien Presence, (1992), Jungle Village Turtle Time (1994), Fairway to Heaven (2007) and many more. With this much experience, it's no wonder that Luminescent hits the mark.
Luminescent is a euphonic treat to the ears that brings to mind the retro-cool sounds of the 80s. Starr successfully fuses alternative rock with subtle elements of country, and electronic music to craft the sound that is getting him much critical acclaim. MTV Music Coordinator, Carrie Hughes, says, Judd has the ability to span all genres and his music captures the emotions we all feel but cant always express. Starr proves in Luminescent that he can do anything from playing all of the instruments on the album and producing the disc to doing the photography!
Judd Starr is definitely a great illustration of the DIY musician mantra of today. Luminescent displays Starr's versatility as a multi-instrumentalist by completely changing his tone and approach to fit the different styles of songs on the album. Judd sings soulful ballads reminiscent of a young STEVE WINWOOD with the presence and conviction of JOHN WAITE that is brought out by his background vocals (also done entirely by Judd.) The album is a small chest of pop gems that blend smooth vocals and sensible, catchy beats that are accentuated by Judds crisp production.
