"Intuition"
Intuition is the duo of vocalist Garrett Miles and programmer Ken Porter. Their singles, "Two", "Staring Off At Nothing" and albums, Further and Overworked and Underplayed (2006) were released on A Different Drum Records in the U.S. The latter, re-titled Stronger for the European market via Infacted Recordings. Hailing from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, Intuition has taken the music world by storm with their infectious and unforgettable sound. Fusing together elements of techno-pop, R&B and traditional rock with an electronic backbone, Garrett's smooth and soulful voice gives the synthetic wizardry a warm richness and unique trademark rarely found in today's commercial music world.
Following the demise of the popular synth act, Intact, in the summer of 2001, Germany raised Ken Porter set out to form a new band with a new vocalist. Ken wanted someone whom shared his vision, focus, and desire to produce music which would cross genre boundaries and appeal to a mainstream audience. After a chance meeting with Garrett, who had been gigging with local Phoenix headliners, World Conspiracy, in mid 2001, the two quickly hit it off and decided to follow their dream together. The chemistry between the two was evident from the start. Garrett brought over several demo versions of songs he was working on and allowed Ken to inject his magic in to them. The rest, as the old cliché says, is history.
Shortly thereafter, Garrett and Ken started to write and record new songs together at their respective studios. Almost immediately, they began to appreciate each others talents and a mutual respect grew from their partnership. Garrett has an uncanny knack for writing catchy, hook-filled songs of love, eternal optimism, and hope. His diverse vocal range and ability to hit highs and lows with ease rivals many of today's success stories. A design engineer by trade, Ken delivers his deft programming abilities to create a cohesive blueprint of the unique Intuition sound. Using their talents, Intuition completed remixes for the popular bands De/Vision, Camouflage, Iris and others within the electro-pop genre. They also licensed the dance pop infused track "Beside You" to Konami for the X-Box game Dance, Dance Revolution, as well as their song "Words Don't Mean A Thing" to the movie Turn Around due out in September of 2007.
Intuition has received worldwide positive feedback and praise for past efforts. The 2007 special edition release of Stronger, which includes several previously unreleased remixes, on Infacted Recordings will undoubtedly secure their popularity. Following a short Germany tour in the fall with De/Vision, the duo will head back to the studio to commence with work on their third LP due for release in 2008.
