FAQ
| My Scarlet Life was formed by Julie Axis (vocals) and Preston Klik (keyboards). After spending the first year seeking out the perfect lineup, MSL came into it's own in 1995 after Christy Cameron Smith (vocals), Amy Spina (percussion and guitar), and Paul Infiniti (guitar, bass guitar, and percussion) finally joined the band. Full of samples and sensuality, and crowned with 2 female singers, the band's mix of trancy, electronica, diva-pop created a very visual live show which has been seen through-out the mid west and parts of Canada. Before the band's breakup in the fall of 2000, MSL released 5 CD's ( see below) and appeared on numerous compilations including "I Wanna Be Kate" Kate Bush tribute CD. All the former members of My Scarlet Life continued down their own musical and spiritual paths. |
