Aaron Ballard

Aaron Ballard grew up hearing all about John Bassette and the whole N.E.O. music scene of that time. The Akron songwriter chose a more obscure song from John's body of work that was still in more or less demo form, "Can't Beat The Reaper," recorded at Skylyne Studio, co-produced by Jim Ballard.

Aaron started out playing and singing bit parts on a collection of different songwriter/artists' projects in the studio while still in high school, progressing to becoming singer and co-producer with then-partner, Matt Berdyck in Condenser. They made and released their first collection of songs titled "Halo for a Vice." Aaron spent time as frontman/lead singer for Drowning Poet before moving on to his present band, Negativity Killed The Cat --www.myspace.com/negativitykilledthecat.   An alt/indie outfit based in Akron. He is currently in the studio working on his first solo effort.
