8APIE is a band that has formed out of pure passion and necessity by Veteran musician & mixing engineer Fader Istheman who has a 30+ year track record and has worked with many top major artists and record labels. Fader suffered a brain injury several years back and it affected his ability to play, write, concentrate and focus (among other things). Through years of therapy and pure determination, Fader faced his nightmares and found his own way to work on music. Fader writes & records in small windows of time. It takes him months to do what others can do in days. At the beginning it was very frustrating and caused serious depression and doubts. 5 years later Fader is close to being finished with his debut album. A meaningful catalog of songs that are musically and lyrically deep and personal. Songs that most of us can listen to and find something that they can get out of it or relate to.
