Music by Jennifer and Adam Gates




























This clip is from "If I Died Today" written Summer of 2003.  It features Scott, a guy we met out here in LA as well as Adam and me.

We wrote "Around You" mostly during late 2002.  Inspired by B.

clip of a song in working progress still

clip of an improv rant... i cant really play piano, but this is just a rough frame for later works

"I Miss You" is an Incubus cover.  Hope you dig it.

"You Make Me Feel" was written in Spring of 2002 actually inspired by a well exploited crush I had on a good friend.  Someone stab me... a lot.

"Til There Was You"  Beatles cover... Adam on all instruments.  Damn he is a badass

Adam and I have written music for years.  Our whole family loves music.  My parents both songwrite and are amazingly talented.  My father is one of the most rockin' drummers I have ever heard, he also plays guitar, bass, and has been known to sing if we are lucky to get it out of him.  My mother has a gift of harmony; she is very creative and sings.  She can play piano and organ and even the drums.  My brother Adam of course, plays guitar, bass, drums, produces, dj's at clubs, raps, and writes music.  My little sister Stephanie sings beautifully and also has been progressive on drums.  I myself sing, sing, and well... sing.  I am obsessed with singing and songwriting; I love it.  I know how to play piano but do not have the skill to.  I can play enough to write a song which is all I need.  I wish I could play guitar.  My big thing is singing and writing.  A lot of my extended family is heavily musically involved and influenced as well. 
 
I am always looking for new people to write with... I love people who love music, and I live and die by it.  I hope you enjoy the music as much as we enjoy making it.
 
I have a lot of inspirations... I dig all kinds of stuff man...  A Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5, Ella Fitzgerald, Mariah Carey, Radiohead, Portishead, anything produced by the Neptunes or Timbaland i.e. NERD or Missy Elliott etc., Fiona Apple (anyone who knows me knows that Fiona Apple is my favorite musical artist in the world), Bjork, Justin Timberlake, KoRn, Deftones, Muse, Aimee Mann, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, The Strokes, Aerosmith, Tori Amos, Alanis, Jewel, WuTang Klan,CCR, Christina Aguilera, Toby Lightman, Joss Stone, Gavin Degraw, Evanescence, Jason Mraz, Charlotte Church, Kelis, Cardigans, Ozomatli, Tool, Perfect Circle, Hendrix, Incubus, Nirvana, Cake, Pink Floyd, Beck, Bush (old stuff though), love gwen stefani's voice--so cool, Beastie Boys, I love the song "Sixth Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps, I love anything that is jazzy but has a hiphop beat in it
 
Queen... Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite song... second favorite is Radiohead's Paranoid Android, and just so many other groups and bands.  I could go on and on.  I dig some underground hip hop stuff too thanks to my brother who finds the most random music.  I really love eyedea and sage francis... amazing lyracists.  I love Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin... way too many more to list really.  I probably did not spell everything right... not too worried about it.
 
I am big into trip hop lately and Adam and I want to start entering that realm of music creation.  Right now he is on a ship to India.  He came back for a day from Africa and then shipped right back out to wherever he goes.  Man, he is all over.   He will be back around March I hope, and we are planning to get going on some new recordings. "Chuggin along to the song that belongs to the shifting of gears..." (f. apple)
 
I am big into live blues music... I friggin love the blues... it is my favorite music to sing hands down.  Music, more than anything, is my favorite avenue of expression.  JAZZ is one of my deepest LOVES too.  Oh god I love jazz
 
Remember... we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.   Best quote ever.

On life...
