From The Bronx, New York, prolific songwriter and musician Earl Kayoss has written over 700 songs. Earl is an ASCAP registered songwriter and his publishing company is Vindictive Cat Ltd. Earl released his own debut album in 2009 called “Disarray.” An EP titled “Nancy’s Finger” along with his 2nd full-length album “Beyond the Reach of the Infinite Mercy of God” followed in 2014.

Life On Mars 

The band “Life On Mars” was formed in 2014 from a fateful collision between two worlds, Earl meets Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan/Todd Rundgren) who is both producer, engineer and artist on vocals and most instruments. Earl is the principal songwriter, producer and artist on vocals, guitar and piano. Previous Life On Mars albums have also featured Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd/Blue Pearl) on lead and backing vocals and Ruti Celli on lead vocals and cello. As the project “Life On Mars" they released their debut 10-track album “Far” to critical acclaim in May 2015. That was followed by the 15-track album "The Resurrection of Ants" in April 2017. A third album titled "Trance Formation" was released in January 2018 and featured special guest appearances from Jamie Glaser (Bryan Adams/Jean-Luc Ponty) on guitar, Dan Crawford on keyboards and Gilberto Zanelatto on violin. A fourth album titled "Observer" was released in June 2020 and featured special guest appearances from Zak Nilsson on Lead Vocals, Salvador Navarra on Piano, Synthesizer and the legendary Scarlet Rivera (Bob Dylan/Joni Mitchell) on Violin.

"A musical collective that has released great album after great album for the past several years. The theme of "observation" permeates these songs, and the combination of the lyrical sensibilities with the power of this music combines for a sonic experience that truly satisfies." - David Tolar's EARS 2 U "TOP 25 ALBUMS OF 2020" COUNTDOWN!

"Unpredictable and exciting song craft. Vivid storytelling and meticulous guitar lines. Flows with both gritty and melodic sensibilities in its complicated yet accessible climate. A rhythmic and snappy display of pop-rock spirit. A calm, maudlin moment of bare beauty. With a retro-rock spirit to a busy execution of energetic and inviting songwriting. Life On Mars never out welcomes their stay, as a dynamic and eclectic formula of rock keeps us anticipating each subsequent track." - Take Effect Review
