AxA

AXA was formed by Haris Cizmic and Meldeen Hota in 1996. The album “Therion Confidential” was originally released in post-war Sarajevo in 1999 by RCS as a limited edition. It was also published worldwide in 2001 for Orchard, and in 2012 for Theaxart. Work on this album was initially started around the end of Bosnian war, with some songs being written during the wartime. AXA was one of the first Bosnian bands to have their music videos banned on national TV. In 1998 AXA gained the status of a popular national rock band with songs on top TV and radio charts, and with interviews (and cover pages) in magazines. In 2000, AXA moved to the USA, where the band kept working, playing and recording. In 2008, AXA changed their name to INGRAY, when David Dupuie became band’s new drummer. They won several rock contests (including 2009 Hard Rock’s Ambassadors of Rock title), recorded albums and performed over 1000 live shows in bars, clubs, theaters and large venues. INGRAY’s CD release party, at Detroit’s Hard Rock, was hosted by 101WRIF, the most popular Michigan rock radio station. As AXA, and later INGRAY, the band worked on many other projects including: soundtracks for 2 movies (with 2 indie festival awards), several TV commercials, music for the 2006 Chevy Autobots animation (that was approved by Steven Spielberg), the intro animation music for the 2007 Chevy Camaro website, SYNC by Microsoft online ads (for Ford) and more.
