The Story Behind Chasing Light Winning Battle Of The Bands At The Bonfire Las Vegas

With only a few months of performing together. Chasing Light is already getting noticed.  

This week, Chasing Light Won The Battle Of The Bands contest at the Bonfire Las Vegas.


They also caught this journalist attention.

For many reasons I might add.

Here's the story.

Earlier this year, I wrote a "Behind The Scenes" article about what goes on in a band's closed-door practice session. Something fans don't get to see. The featured band in my article was "Sex To Love". That's when I met Nico Hayek (lead Guitarist For Sex To Love) and got to witness this young man's musical talent. 

I've been keeping up with the Battle Of The Bands contest for a couple of weeks on Facebook. I really believe that these contests are good for the music industry and help young and new talent in the industry to get the exposure that they much deserve! 

The next morning after the Battle Of The Bands finale. I opened up Facebook to find out that Chasing Light was the winner of the Battle Of The Bands finale the night before. As I read on I found out that Nico Hayek and Helena Harris was two members of the band. What a coincidence. I already know the musical talent that Nico possesses from meeting him a few months back. But to find out that I've already got to see Helena Harris and witness her amazing music talent on stage a few months back also at the Bonfire. Like wow!

Helena and Nico remind me of me. I found my passion for writing still in my teens. Much like Helena (Now 18) and Nico (Now 19) have both found their amazing musical niche in life.

To find out what your niche in life is while still in your teens is awesome!

And to excel in your niche is a blessing!


I compare Helena and Nico to Karen & Richard Carpenter. (Age & Musical Talent)

Besides Chasing Light's awesome talent on stage. Their social media presence is The Bomb!

Thanks to Helena's dad Larry Harris. Which handles his daughter's media and PR, along with Chasing Light's social media and internet presence. 

One thing that separates really good bands from the rest of the pack is how and where they're being seen.

As a band, you've got to keep fresh in all of your fan's minds. That's what Larry is really good at!

It's one thing in the business that I call one of the "It Factors"!

Yes, Chasing Light is "Doing Everything Right"

Their amazing talent on stage, with a Marketing and PR Guru (Helena's Dad), and a strong support system that Helena and Nico both have with their parents actively involved.

I see a very bright future for the both of them!

By the way. Congratulations For Winning Battle Of The Bands!
