Lost Haven

The band Lost Haven was founded in 2003 by Ryan Villa and Joe English. Ryan, the bands lead guitarist, spent his formidable years watching his parents write and perform music with their band Anne Sladen. As a young boy, Ryan discovered a passion for the guitar and began methodically learning, eventually becoming quite accomplished in his own right. After years dedicated to learning the craft, Ryan recruited his closest friend and drummer Joe English, and they set out to form a band of their own.

In time, the boys had a collection of great original music and Ryan's parents filled in at shows while the boys searched for the perfect bass player and singer to complete the team. In the summer of 2004, the boys met bassist Christian Ornelas, a fellow musician with the right mix of talent, passion and drive, and quickly convinced him to join the band. Together, these talented high school seniors have forged a signature sound of driving beats and powerful guitar leads. The bands leading lady is the beautiful Linda Villa, whose dynamic vocals are frequently compared to rock-n-roll's top female artists. Linda has always insisted that shes "just filling in" until the band finds another singer, but with pipes like those and a legion of LV devotees, the band would love to keep her around!! To date, the band has 1 CD to their credit, "Vision of Mind", released in the fall of 2005, featuring Linda Villa on lead vocals. The band is currently working on material for their 2nd CD and is a featured attraction at San Diego events, parties and festivals. To purchase a copy of "Vision of Mind" visit cdbaby.com or I-Tunes.
