Who Was I

WHO WAS I was formed in 2007 by Steve Harvey in Palm Bay, Florida. Steve is the co-lead guitarist and co-writer for the group. “The mission from the beginning, was to assemble an original heavy metal outfit that would not only lyrically bring pleasure to our fan base, but, to also deliver a live performance that would send people on their way home singing the refrains from the tunes that we were inspired to write”. Now, the band is producing their sophomore effort, WHAT I’VE BECOME, which is currently in the final mastering stages in Los Angeles, California, and due in early 2014. “We have been patient and committed, we are family men that rely on making the right decisions for our women and our children and we are not going to compromise our music until we have a product that reflects the same commitment we make to our own families”, says co-lead guitarist Sto Cephas. We have been fortunate to share the stage with so many bands that have inspired and touched our souls and offer our eternal gratitude to MUDVAYNE, SEVENDUST, GODSMACK, MARILYN MANSON, ROB ZOMBIE, CHEVELLE, FEAR FACTORY, SOULFLY, SIX FEET UNDER, EXODUS, OVERKILL, CANNIBAL CORPSE, BURNING STARR, DEVIL DRIVER and MANOWAR, just to name a few, that have been so gracious, patient and impacting in our lives and to our performance. We have been lucky to travel to Europe, when in 2011, we performed on the main stage at the MAYHEM at the MAGIC CIRCLE FESTIVAL in Tolmin, Slovenia. “ It is great to be able to hone our skills before such tremendous festival crowds and then bring that same energy home to an area club with a seating capacity of 300” , offers frontman Darin Foxx. “Our fans come to get a release and it is our obligation as musicians to always be on point, no matter how many are attending our shows”. Percussionist, Aaron Deitz notes, “We put forth every bit of energy we have to bring the best metal show on the scene today. We will not let weather, plagues, famine, drought or locusts keep us from making those in attendance from getting their monies worth”. The past several years of touring have lead up to this moment in time where we can now bring the best live performance to our fans with the exact music we have dedicated ourselves to writing, recording and performing live. To the WHO WAS I SOLDIERS near and afar, we can’t do this without you. We want to play for all of you and hope to have the chance to see you all on the road. Thanks for your love and support. Thanks for the kind words, gifts and for singing our tunes and sharing them with others. WHO WAS I is a heavy metal band from Palm Bay, Florida.
