16 Frames is a rock band from
Los
Angeles, California, started by the group frontman, Steve
Sulikowski. They were recently signed to
Arista Records.
16
Frames is the creation of frontman and songwriter Steve Sulikowski.
After hearing "Back Again",
Clive Davis, the legendary record executive,
signed him to
Arista Records. Sulikowski then went on to
record the songs that would become the foundation of 16 Frames
including "Close Range" and "Where It Ends” with famed producer
Matt
Serletic at the helm. "With most of my songs, I try to tell a
story, but at the same time, I leave the door open for people to
fill in the blanks - its meaning can then apply to something very
personal to me and to the listener."
After watching "No
Direction Home" Martin Scorsese’s documentary on
Bob Dylan, Sulikowski began to
feel his approach to songwriting evolve. "I started to look at the
whole creative process unfolding in a way like a movie.” It also
inspired him to choose the band's name, 16 Frames, the lowest
frequency at which continuous motion can be perceived. “16 Frames
is that moment when things become focused, become clear." 16
Frames’ future is anything but static with their music already
featured on “
Men
In Trees” and on
MTV’s
“
The Hills.” 16
Frames is currently on tour with
Sheryl Crow, Crowded House and Pete Yorn and
their self-titled debut album will be released this fall.
