Press

Project
Genesis.
Legendary
music promoter Boyd Grafmyre, the “Mahatma of Rock” and Executive Producer of
Project GENESIS, is coming out of retirement for one last show. “I have always
had an ability to hear the future in music” says Boyd. The Artist ONE is one of
the great visionary artists of this century. "The Moses" of
this generation and I foresee the one who will lead this industry out of this
proverbial desert.
Boyd is
considered the last of the iconic rock promoters from the 60’s and 70’s,
responsible for the origins of bands and artists such as the late Jimi Hendrix,
The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Chicago, Elton John and Alice Cooper just to name a
few.
“Project
GENESIS” is a musical journey of the most read book in the world, “The BIBLE.”
It is fresh, new, and not an album or a band that plays empty bars. It
has the sounds that I personally feel will fill stadiums once again. The
music has a blend of many possibilities, a theatrical experience blending
sight, sound and spirituality.
This
project is set to be a three hour, three set production, with a large film
backdrop (synched with the show), as seen in many bigger live show theaters,
however adding actors and holograms into the performance. The Artist ONE
composes and performs all the music for the albums alone but will enlist over
ten musicians to perform the show live. (In some cities a small orchestra)
Grafmyre
says "the one thing I like about Malachi is he is a virtual unknown and
surrounded in a shroud of mystery. It’s all about the music and we need
music with meaning, vision and the ability to take the listener to a peaceful
and quiet place without the BS of drawing attention to oneself."
The Artist ONE has had
success in the past with a top ten hit from the album “A Road Less Traveled”
and has sold close to 70,000 CD’s world wide of “A Generation of Time VII”.
In 1999 at the height of his musical career and a few record deals on the
table he fell on a job and spent the next 7 years dealing with back issues and
the fusion of his lower back. Took time off to raise a family and create a
large coffee company, It was only in 2012 Malachi began to work on the CD
“Rites of Passage V” and completed this project. Malachi is currently
recording “Exodus IV” for release fall of 2014 after the tour for “Project
GENESIS” is completed.
