NEAL:
I thought, ‘he can’t be that good.’ But he is that good, he’s the real deal and
so tremendously talented. Arnel doesn’t sound synthetic and he’s not emulating
anyone. I tried to get a hold of him through YouTube and I finally heard from
him that night, but it took some convincing to get him to believe that it really
was me and not an imposter.” Arnel Pineda picks up the story: “My friend Noel
picked up the message on YouTube and told me it was from Neal. I thought it was
a hoax so I ignored it. Noel said, ‘what if it really was Neal and he wanted to
offer you the chance of a lifetime?’ So I e-mailed Neal back and the rest is
history.”

“We feel reborn. I think there’s a lot of chemistry between the five of us. At
first we were going to go into the studio and just write 4 songs, but now it’s
escalated to a lot of great new and diverse material. The stuff sounds
tremendous. Everyone’s so stoked about it. We feel very fortunate to have found
Arnel.”
