Bio

Formed by producer, songwriter, and guitarist Mikey Doling (Channel Zero, Soulfly, and founding member and guitarist of SNOT), Woyote is the newest addition to his arsenal of musical projects unleashed on the world. With multiple gold records, songwriting credits, and world tours under Doling’s belt, he has proven once again that his consistent songwriting has birthed a project that is unique, original, and powerful.

Doling and guitarist Jari De Roover began writing music at the end of 2019. Feeling energized by what they were creating, they recruited guitarist Quentin Cornet, bassist Sebastiaan Verhoeven, and drummer Charles Degolla. Once the lineup of musical veterans was locked in, the quest for a singer began. After a brief stint with another vocalist, Doling reached out to Aaron Nordstrom of Gemini Syndrome. The two have known each other for years — Doling produced Gemini in the past and they maintained a friendship for over twelve years. Working on a few tracks, both artists knew right away the magic was there.

Doling and Nordstrom started working with producer Chris Collier (Korn, Prong, and more) in Las Vegas. Doling, a songwriter himself, brought vocal melodies and lyrics to the table. “Mikey has a signature sound of his own,” says Nordstrom about Doling’s guitar style. “Just like Dime or Eddie Van Halen, you know who it is right out of the gate.” Nordstrom, who has fronted Gemini Syndrome since day one, says he intends to write as much music as he can while he is still on this earth. “You never know when your time is up, so I plan on doing as much as I can — and I am very excited about being a part of Woyote!”

During the COVID-19 pandemic the band released a lyric video for the first track with the new singer, “Alternate Reality.” Tracks titled “Atlas Shrugged” and “Save Me” with Collier followed. While many bands write toward radio trends, Doling promises music that comes straight from the heart.

“We are not here to write what’s already been done. We are here to deliver pure honest and organic rock and roll — and you will always get that with Woyote. We are just getting started!”
