Since their inception VP focused their sights on writing new material with fervor and a relentless intent to deliver original music that was truly original.      @VPeopleMusic

Maverick is living, breathing jukebox playing nothing but the hits of Chicago’s WTMX-FM (101.9 The Mix). That’s a good thing too because in the eyes of some career music industry veterans, Maverick’s got a better shot than most at having his music played on that station. “Right now I play mostly covers, but I do play my originals in there too and people seem to really like them. Every time I play it seems like people come up to me and want to talk about the originals. I’m happy being that kind of an artist right now, but long term I’d like to get to be more of an original artist.”      @maverickmusic11

Jace Pawlak is being heard more and more these days as his material is being covered by an ever-increasing number of bands. In February 2015 Jace released the album Perspective. When asked about the songs on the album, Jace responds, “Most people know me for my melodic rock writing, but I have a great deal more material that people have never heard that is more stripped down and, I believe, deeper.      @JACEPAWLAK
