I first discovered Gil Assayas, the musician otherwise known as GLASYS, when one of his YouTube videos made it to the front page Reddit. His amazing keyboard set up and sophisticated musical adaptations of well-known video game soundtracks caught the attention of several gamer subcultures, who then shared his videos widely across social media. I recently sat down with Gil and asked him about how he grew his fanbase and in what ways his viral videos have translated into career success.

Singer- songwriter Kasim Sulton is best known for his stint in Utopia along with Todd Rundgren, Roger Powell and Willie Wilcox. The addition of Sulton to the Utopia lineup in 1976 added a powerful singing voice that helped define the band’s sound as they evolved from a proggy collective to a tight four piece unit.Sulton provided the lead vocals for the band’s biggest commercial hit, “Set Me Free.” The band built a loyal following of Utopians during their ten years together, an era that produced eight studio albums and saw the band criss-cross the country every year.In 2017, Sulton formed Kasim Sulton’s Utopia, for a series of sold-out shows featuring songs from the classic four piece lineup of the band. Kasim is bringing the shows out again, this time with Gil Assayas on keyboards, who toured last year as part of Todd Rundgren’s Utopia.Kasim’s work goes well beyond Utopia, and includes session and live work with Meat Loaf, Cheap Trick, Hall and Oates and Meat Loaf, just to name a few.Kasim continues to perform with Todd Rundgren, and finds time to record and perform solo material.When it comes to bringing people together, Kasim is one of the most accessible and fan-friendly artists around. A Facebook group, This must be love, named after an early solo song follows his career, and Kasim often interacts with fans, doing live Facebook events and video updates from the road on his own page.To contact the host: email thom@caroniamediagroup.com

When Ralph Shuckett, the keys man for Utopia – the '70s and '80s progressive rock outfit led by American music great Todd Rundgren – bowed out of the band's Utopia reunion tour, one of Rundgren's sons suggested Assayas, who has been dazzling music fans as Glasys in his adopted home of Portland, Oregon. "We looked at his stuff on the Internet and were all blown away by how talented he was and how confident he seemed," Rundgren told Billboard magazine.
