From a press release
LA-based duo, (In)Body, are set to perform at Hot Yoga Asheville, and they’d love for you to attend! Groundsounds premiered their most recent single, “Lions”, describing it as “…pure sonic goodness with a positive message.” The new track follows their first single, “Safe In Your Heart”, both off their debut album, Becom(in)g, released on April 15, 2016. The winner of the 2013 ASCAP Robert Allen Award for Songwriting, “Safe In Your Heart” conveys the story of front-man Ryan Amador’s experience leaving his home in New York to move to LA.
(In)Body is comprised of Amador (lead vocals, songwriting) and Daniel Weidlein (various instruments, songwriting, production). The duo first worked together when Amador hired Weidlein to play piano for him on a gig in Venice Beach. Weidlein then went on to produce Amador’s solo EP, 4S, which garnered acclaim from the Huffington Post and led to a performance at the TedX conference in Santa Cruz. After their initial partnership, they set out to work together again, but quickly realized they were creating something larger than another solo project. What came of it was this fresh alt/pop group, (In)Body. Their sound has been described as bio-soul, progressive pop and alternative r&b, and they have cited influences ranging from Jazz to Top 40, Movie Soundtracks to R&B/Soul.
Both musicians have seen success as solo artists prior to their union. Weidlein reached the top 50 in the jazz Billboard charts and has played alongside such greats as Joshua Redman and Frank Wess. He has produced for country singer Katie Ohh, worked with saxophone legend Bob Mintzer, and arranged for NBC’s “The Sing Off.” He was also a featured on-screen performer in the Academy Award-winning film “Whiplash.” Amador has been featured by the Huffington Post, Sirius XM, and Jezebel for his videos. He has performed at Pride festivals in New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Brisbane Australia and his songs have been performed by choirs and ensembles for audiences around the world. Be sure to catch (In)Body’s debut single, “Safe In Your Heart,” and their full-length album, Becom(in)g!
