Faces Of The Moment by Chiba-Ken

To accomplish this Joshua broke through his all-metal playlist and allowed himself to be heavily influenced by Motown soul, big-band swing, and hip-hop rhythm and syncopation to create his own personal, if not unique, bass sound and style.

Elias Tannous, the lead guitarist, is mainly influenced by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, 311, Offspring, Metallica, Jimmy Hendrix and Guns 'n' Roses, to name a few, though Elias was primarily influenced through his ten years of playing classical piano. He played piano competitively and was even able to perform at Carnegie Hall. Through this he gained a firm understanding of music theory and composition. Although he has only been playing guitar for 3 years, his lifetime of music has made it easier for him to excel at the instrument.

Jason D'Amelio, the drummer, has been playing drums for around 10 years. His main influences include Nirvana, Tool, Korn, Candira, Meshuggah, Dave Matthews, Slipknot, and many more. He has been playing in bands since he was 13 years old and has been performing in NYC with rock bands since he was 16. Throughout his career he has been fortunate enough to have met and been taught by some of his favorite drummers, such as Ken Schalk of Candiria. With his many years of experience behind him, Jason's knowledge of the music industry has helped Chiba-ken accelerate their growth.

Eddie Delgado, the last member to join Chiba-Ken, completes Chiba-Ken's full sound with his keen musical input. His influences include Deftones, Metallica, KillSwitch Engage and Alice in Chains. Eddie has been playing the guitar for 14 years, he started when he was 10. Eddie is also familiar with the music industry and band relationships because he has been in bands since he was 12 years old. After playing in the Dallas, Texas scene he returned to his native state New Jersey and joined Chiba-Ken. His Crunchy, harder riffs fit perfectly and completed the unique sound that is Chiba-Ken.

Chiba-Ken has toured the northeast and mid-west United States and has played numerous shows in the NY/NJ area.
