Details:
Spencer Bates, 22, always loved to sing. As a film student at Northwestern University, he had never played an instrument, but Spencer''s underlying passion for performing inspired him to teach himself to play the piano, chord by chord, day by day, and to begin writing his own music. His first self-produced album, "Everybody has a Song," has received wide exposure and has been favorably reviewed on a number of websites, ultimately attracting the attention of mixer/producer Chris Trevett. Together, they produced the "Back to School EP," a preview of Spencer''s second album on which they are currently working. Although he has a style all his own, Spencer has already been compared to Elton John and Billy Joel. As male singer/songwriters come back into style, Spencer, armed with his piano, instead of a guitar, fills an obvious void in the mainstream. The depth, wit, and insight of Spencer''s songs allow him to stand out as a voice for his generation. Today, the Washington DC native is beginning to play at East coast colleges, in addition to the regular shows in his local area.
