Metta, the title of Yogi’s solo debut release, is a vision for the future of modern rock that builds on the classic pop craftsmanship of his inspirations. Yogi’s versatility as a songwriter, performer and producer – only hinted at as a member of Buckcherry and The Wallflowers – has culminated in Metta. 13 songs of melodic poignance and power. “I’ve wanted to make a record with these kind of players for years,” says Yogi. “When I finally got the right combination of people, it was obvious. I’m fortunate to have an outlet to share music with the world.” Yogi is currently on a worldwide tour with Chris Cornell, supporting Chris' new album Carry On. ----------------- “Yogi Screams in hushed and lush tones. There is a high calorie sweetness in his densely rich songwriting.” - Jeff Gray (MTV Music and Media Licensing) “Yogi represents the newer and emerging artists throughout America who have embraced a more traditional way of creating music. Yogi has his own unique state persona to go with that, which is why he is a lock to have a successful pro music career.” - Al Bowman (Executive Producer; Los Angeles Music Awards) "Yogi's music is a total blend of who he is, a great retro vibe combined with the inclination of todays songs!" - Rafael Moreira (Guitarist - Rockstar Supernova) "After hearing the amazing things that Yogi was able to do with Buckcherry, The Wallflowers and others, it's no wonder that he's finally stepped out in front on his own. As his ideas & abilities grow, these pristine stories told through his guitar & his vocal come flooding through, and fortunately, there seems to be no end in sight." - Eddie Gomez, Vice President of Creative Services/Bug Music
