Mancini takes over where the project’s preliminary singer Twinkle left off. Due to various "personal and family situations," Twinkle was unable to move forward with the project. Young immediately followed in the footsteps of mentor, Neal Schon (JOURNEY) and began searching the internet for the perfect voice.
Seeking a vocalist of European sensibility, led the guitarist back to his alma mater, Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, CA. Mancini is a recent graduate of MI’s Vocal Institute Of Technology. She is currently attending courses in Music Business at UCLA, and interns at a reggae music label. During her tenure at VIT, Mancini went through a self-proclaimed '80s metal phase, exploring a natural affinity and the uncanny ability to sing in the style of DIO, SKID ROW, JANIS JOPLIN and the like.
Souls On 11 also features the world-class rhythm section of bass monster, James Lomenzo (ex-Megadeth / BLACK LABEL SOCIETY / WHITE LION) and drummer Jeff Bowders (PAUL GILBERT / PUDDLE OF MUDD).
Young recently posted footage of himself and Mancini rehearsing their acoustic version of the W.A.S.P. classic 'Wild Child', and footage from their first gig ever as a duo. Check it out below:
