Ken Cuozzo
vocals, guitar

So the three of us are just sitting there in a smelly garage waiting for this guy to show up. Finally he gets there and is carrying a suspicious composition notebook. At first he doesn't really say what it is and we'd just as soon not ask. We basically want to sit there and listen to another pathetic loser who thinks he's a singer and get it over with.

We're still listening to THIS pathetic loser.

Ken Cuozzo has been rocking Proon with his tongue-in-cheek lyrics and smooth delivery since day one. Well, at least once he got back from a spontaneous trip to Tahoe with some friends. We thought about kicking him out after missing a couple early practices, but the band would never have been the same.

Ken's lyrics and musical contributions are the driving force behind this band and one of the key elements in this four-ingredient chemistry project called Proon. At first, we didn't really know what the name meant, but as time has gone by, it's taken on its own meaning for each one of us.

Ken's always adding levity to the situation, providing a catchy phrase or even a grinding transition and he's got our utmost confidence as the front-man of this band. To show our appreciation, we let him get all the women.

By the way, we didn't know it then, but in that beat up composition notebook was the future of Proon.
