CHOEY G - TIME?
IT'S 'TIME?'
The day has finally come, my life's work! Here it is, my debut album is now available for everyone to hear! I will post the album link below (my YouTube playlist) and then I will post my whole artist BIO that I have written, along with more links and info!
All 9 tracks to my debut album 'TIME?'
BIO
CHOEY G started rocking out at the early age of 14, when his first band ‘The Purple Streams’ formed in Swindon, UK (2004) and began to make a print on the local music scene. Playing a range of originals and covers, this awesome indie rock band helped forge CHOEY G’s playing of today. His sweep picking and tapping solos didn’t really fit over wonderwall, so the great band dismembered and all formed their own respective projects.
CHOEY then went on to form death metal band ‘Torn by Fate’ (2018) who locked horns with the listeners and had the crowd in a spiral each show. With their detuned chugs and blistering blasts, this was an era that will never be forgotten. Torn By Fates life was short but sweet and thus allowed CHOEY G to have some time to recover his neck from immense circle banging.
CHOEY G has since been in several cover bands, playing a range of venues from weddings to pub nights, and in 2010 went to a summer camp in New Jersey to teach guitar and lead the rock school project.
A time of stagnation ensued and after many trials and tribulations (and many wild yet unforgettable experiences) CHOEY G has now reignited the fire. His debut solo album ‘TIME?’ is released on 9th July. His experiences reflect in the meaningful and powerful lyrics. His laser focus on creation is back. Living permanently in New Zealand for the past 4 years creative inspiration is firing on all cylinders.
CHOEY G has a wide range of influences; Gary Moore, Blink 182, Guns N Roses to name a few. His musical influences are present in his music with nostalgic classic pop punk style chorus’ and face melting solos... all topped off with a message.
Reviews:
“We are amazingly surprised by your “Rivers”, it is a beautiful punk/rock song that reminds us the ‘90s songs of “The Offspring” and “Blink 182” but with a modern and fresh style”
Parole Indie
““RIVERS" is a song of beautiful texture, its catchy rhythm full of harmony, catches from the beginning. I loved the sonority of the guitars that are distilling subtlety and are filled with energy in the interlude, accompanied by the strength of the drums. That sounds great, sensational. CHOEY G, your voice is beautiful, full of nuances that thrill. The message of the lyrics clearly highlights the theme, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. Particularly I fully identify with "RIVERS"… …CHOEY G, I assure you that you are on the right path to success, there is a lot of quality in you and your single. It is with great honor that I will enjoy "RIVERS" and share it with my followers, through my PLATINUM Playlist on Spotify and through my social networks. Excellent work, CONGRATULATIONS, Success awaits you, CHOEY G.”

Album Breakdown
Track 1 – Never Look Back
Kicking off with a pop punk anthem, with a message to myself. Step outside of your comfort zone and don’t wait around any longer. Overall message is to go forward in life, before it’s too late.
Track 2 – Renegade Mind
The heaviest track on the album, and a strong message. Do not allow controlling powers dictate your life, who you are or what you can be. This can be internal demons or external forces.
Track 3 – We Are the Ones
A melancholy pop punk tune loosely inspired by Blink 182’s I miss you. A message to the younger generation. A reminder to stand up for what you believe in.
Track 4 – Into the Unknown
A surf-punk/rock tune all about self-reflection. Are you where you want to be? We all rise with the tide!
Track 5 – Rivers
CHOEY G’s first single! A nostalgic pop punk anthem with a message. First verse is a pondering message/question to myself. The second verse is the response! Make the most of everything! An uplifting track
Track 6 – Night & Day
A blues rock track about letting go of something that has taken control in your life. Relationship, drugs, habits, anything. Let go and move forward, become stronger. Summed up with the outro!
Track 7 – Madness
There is a lot of Madness going on in the world right now and this is song expresses how emotions felt in recent times. Who, what and why?
Track 8 – The Real You
No need to feel alone in this world, you have yourself and that is the base for everything. Be happy with who you are. Find the real you.
Track 9 – Lies Blind the Mind
A dynamic space rock track about reclaiming what is yours – your time! Value it! Rid all negativity and move onwards. The final 2 minutes are a reflection/meditation session for the listener to evaluate and absorb the listening experience.
TIME?
The significance of the album title ‘TIME?’ is posing a question to the listener. What does time mean to you?
