Anthony Hamel
Age…. 17
DOB: September 7, 1994
Weapon: Lead Vocalist
“I was born in Boston, MA. I loved listening to music so whenever I could, I would sing. Once I moved to Port Charlotte, I found myself looking to make my own music. I was influenced by the 80’s era, such bands as Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Guns-n-Roses, Ozzy etc…. I think you get the point. Yes…I love 80’s Rock-N-Roll!”
“Soon after I moved to Florida, I went to see Aerosmith in concert. Needless to say, I was totally inspired. I loved Aerosmith and when I saw them live, my dream was set and my mind was made up, I would make music and entertain!! I was looking for a group of guys who felt as strongly about music as I did. This was no easy task. I tried a few different avenues and then I was finally approached by my “New Family”, Jack-Michael & Dalton Kick-Back Rueff. They wanted me to sing in a band they were putting together. I had no idea the talent my new friends had. After only a few practices I was hooked and I knew this was the place for me. We all clicked right from the start. Soon after we were lucky enough to pick up our bass guitarist, David Scheid, my new family had come to life. We are now known as Tayzer and I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Age…. 15
DOB: May 24, 1996
Weapon: Drum’s
“I was born in Cape Coral, FL but grew up in a small town Punta Gorda. As a young kid I liked to play sports, mainly football & baseball. Around 6th grade, I made the transition into the music world. I began to learn the drums. Influenced by Tommy Aldridge, I picked up on some of his techniques. The 80’s sound is my thing. That’s all I listen to and play. I prefer a bit on the heavier side of it, Megadeth being my favorite. Nick Menza of Megadeth is another influential drummer, but I love it all, the 80’s Rock N Roll that is.”
“So the question is, how did I get to where I am today? Jack-Michael, our lead guitarist, and I have been best friends since kindergarten, going on 11 years. At the same time I began learning the drum as my weapon of choice, he began learning the guitar. After about 3 years we found Anthony, our lead vocalist, and soon after David Scheid, our bass guitarist, thus forming our band known as Tayzer!”

Age…. 21
DOB: October 8, 1990
Weapon: Bass Guitar
“I grew up in a small town in Alabama called Samson. All we ever really had was music and that was only because some people cared enough to let us listen. I started playing music when I was 12. I learned to play guitar on a First Act. The first thing I ever played was “Seven Nation Army” by White Stripes *JACK WHITE* Fave guitarist. As I got older, I listened to a little more than just modern rock and found that I really enjoy the 80’s sound and feel. When I turned 18, I moved back to my birth place, Port Charlotte, FL. After living here for about a year, I moved back North but that wasn’t for long. I knew I needed to find something, my life was incomplete. So I moved back to Florida again searching for something or someone. To my surprise, I found both! This turned out to be the blessing I have been searching for! This is where I met my beautiful wife Tara and the band I am with today……..my second family…..(Jack-Michael, Dalton Rueff, Anthony Hamel, & me)…….. Tayzer!”

Age ……15
DOB: February 14, 1996
Weapon: Electric Guitar
“I grew up in a small town, Punta Gorda, FL. I began my young life like most kids playing sports like football, baseball, soccer, & wrestling. As I got older, I felt like there was something missing inside me. Not knowing what that was, but I was certain it wasn’t sports, I began to search in hopes of finding my true talent inside myself. I have always listened to my dad play acoustic guitar and sing songs, so I asked him to show me some chords. Every morning my dad & I would have a one hour session on the guitar just learning the basics. I just couldn’t get enough. Is this what I have been looking for? I began teaching myself from the computer even more. My dad noticed that I was really progressing and mostly being self- taught and that is when he introduced me to my new and still current guitar teacher, Tommy Skeoch. He is the former lead guitarist of “Tesla”. I progressed really fast says my friends and family and Tommy & I hit it off right from the start. I also found out I could play many other instruments like drums, bass, mandolin, and keyboard. I thought to myself, I have finally found what I have been searching for. Music makes my life complete and I can’t seem to get enough of it.”
“Influenced by the 80’s era, I began writing songs. My best friend, Dalton Kick-Back Rueff and I started to play together and knew instantly…….. This is what we want to do for the rest of our lives….. Make Music! It was difficult to find other talented young musicians that had the same desire and dedication that we had. It took some searching, but that’s when we ran across Anthony Hamel, our lead vocalist, and David Scheid, our bass guitarist hence forming the band known as Tayzer!”
