Hailing from Queens, NY, the formation of The Poynt really began in the early 90's when a young Eduardo began playing guitar at the age of 11, demoing
guitar ideas on an old karaoke machine.
"I remember this machine having two tape decks and I was able to layer guitar and vocal ideas simply by switching the tapes from deck to deck. It was a
simple process really: record, stop, rewind, and switch tapes," says Eduardo.
After numerous stints in local bands throughout the 90's and early 00's, Eduardo made a phone call in August 2009 to an old friend and bandmate Richie

Hailing from Queens, NY, the formation of The Poynt really began in the early 90's when a young Eduardo began playing guitar at the age of 11, demoing
guitar ideas on an old karaoke machine.
"I remember this machine having two tape decks and I was able to layer guitar and vocal ideas simply by switching the tapes from deck to deck. It was a
simple process really: record, stop, rewind, and switch tapes," says Eduardo.
After numerous stints in local bands throughout the 90's and early 00's, Eduardo made a phone call in August 2009 to an old friend and bandmate Richie
Beretta. Beretta, an up and coming producer at that time, had just opened up a music studio and was thrilled to work with a new artist. The only issue
was that Eduardo only had ideas and no band to bring them to life!
Throughout the course of 2010-2012, Eduardo found members from his hometown area and together they formed The Poynt. With each members'
unique, diverse musical backgrounds, ranging from the classical masters to the masters of multi-genre rock, The Poynt set out to create something
organic and pure, reminiscent of a time when music meant something more than just the music.
After extensive writing and recording sessions, The Poynt released their debut album This is American Royalty, or TIAR, in January 2015. Each track
throughout TIAR captures the essence of what The Poynt set out to create: genuine and memorable music. « hide |
