“For the past 2 years I have been an avid user of Anatomy of Sound picks and I wouldn’t go back to any other brand. Quality, solidity, efficiency and overall performance are the reasons why AoS is my number one brand of choice. Since making the switch to AoS picks, my practice and gigging performances have greatly improved. I would recommend AoS to any musician.”

The Sea Tease

The Sea Tease is a New England born artist that was crafted in Philadelphia’s music scene and has found a home in Los Angeles; most notably as a regular of the Sunset Strip.

The Sea Tease (born Michaela DeBenedictis) told her father, who was himself an accomplished musician, at age 10 that she wanted to learn to play guitar; after having played bass for two years she was apparently ready for more strings. He reaches into his CD collection and hands her Eric Clapton’s From The Cradle and tells her “If you want to play guitar listen to this and play it.” This ignited a lifelong love of blues that would shape her guitar playing and writing style. By age 11 she was playing rhythm guitar in bands with her father and musicians 4 times her age. This led to beginning a professional music career at age 13 and continued ever since.

The Sea Tease’s lyrics are powerful, emotive and original. Her guitar work is finessed and melodic; a blues player by trade she combines that with classical and jazz experience for a unique sound.

Michaela’s voice, classically trained and bred with seasoned rock roots and natural soul captures the ear and crates an environment to sink into.

An EP is due for release on May 1st. It is produced by Fernando Perdomo, who is in the Netflix movie Echo In The Canyon and has worked with Neil Young, Fiona Apple, Beck and Eric Clapton; and features piano extraordinaire Danny Henry and fellow AOS artist Ty Asoudegan of Fastride.

“I never played with picks because of how clunky they felt in my hand but Anatomy of Sound’s shape and design were a perfect fit. This coupled with the tone they produce and their comfort that lasts all night long was a total game changer for me and I am now a pick convert.”

Cooper Boyd

Cooper Boyd picked up the guitar at the age of 9 and hasn’t looked back since. After hearing Randy Rhoads for the first time, he quickly became heavily influenced by the shred gods of 70s and 80s glam metal. He formed the North NJ band Lunatic Fringe, who were notorious for their over the top theatrical shows and eccentric, genre bending music.

Lunatic Fringe has since disbanded… but you can still find Cooper tearing it up in South NJ, and Philly with his current 80’s glam rock tribute band Arena Gods and other various artists as a hired gun. Keep your eyes out for more original music from Cooper soon!

“I like a durable, solid pick that I can use to really dig into the strings with, but also a pick that I can play accurately with. That’s why the Black Heart Beat Jazz picks are perfect for my style.”
