Uniquely entertaining and commercially viable, Dreamkiller presents elements of catchy rock hooks and soulful melodies, and combines it with raw aggressiveness and overwhelmingly pure vibrancy. A concept band, their colorful lyrics and unparalleled style is sure to turn heads in 2009.
Band Bio
Dreamkiller, the 2009 Carolina Music Awards Rock Band of The Year, is a concept band that fuses rock and the idea of a rock musical and targets this towards a commercial audience. Founded in 2004 by professional actress/singer/model, Christy Johnson, [2009 CM Awards Rock Artist of The Year: Female] who has been featured in such films as Tobe Hooper’s Mortuary, National Lampoon’s Pucked, Gospel Hill, and has performed at Carnegie Hall as well as two international tours to Europe, Dreamkiller prides themselves on colorful lyrics that include positive themes of strength, perseverance, conquering your fears head-on, as well as pushing with no limits to accomplish your goals.
In early 2008, Christy collaborated with Mark Perry, [most recognized as Chris Daughtry’s former guitarist from "Absent Element"] and their single, "Ragnarok", was chosen as the theme song for the award winning controversial documentary, SUPERPOWER, which signed an international distribution deal. After having numerous members throughout the years, the lineup was finally rounded out in 2009 with David Lanning, Erny Galvan and Guatemalan native, Tian Garcia. Now having played the 2009 Vans Warped Tour, winning Rock Band of The Year at the 2009 Carolina Music Awards, releasing they’re full length concept album "Sleepless Dreams" in August 2009 [for which their track, "All or Nothing" has been chosen to be featured in upcoming films and soundtracks for "Rotkäppchen: Blood of Red Riding Hood" and "Hellphone"], they're quickly defining themselves as a southeast regional forerunner.
