about Panima

Panima's origins stem from the creative mind of singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist David Martinez. It was a cold December night in 2005 when Steven Delman got the phone call from David about jamming together and starting a new band. After Panima's first rehearsal, the guys recorded their first single, "Dreams," which started a Myspace buzz that helped skyrocket their loyal fan base and online musicplays, which also attracted the attention of music attorney, Anita Rivas (who has or does represent clients such as Kung Fu Records, Hopeless Records, Fearless Records, Smartpunk, Kevin Lyman in connection with WARPED Tour and Taste of Chaos and Anti Flag) who now represents Panima.

Although the inspiration for Panima came from David and Steven's urge to write music that was positive, uplifting, and catchy, Panima is now a full-fledged band, with three additional members rounding out the band, including a background vocalist, all of which were friends prior to coming on board.

Within a little over one year, Panima managed to hit their 300,000 Myspace plays mark and acquire over 30,000 Myspace friends/fans. Panima has also been hard at work, recording at Hollywood Sound with producer/writer/arranger/manager, Roger Gisborne (who's worked with Mark Needham [The Killers, The Academy Is, My Chemical Romance], Rich Costey [Hot Hot Heat, Muse, Franz Ferdinand], Jeff Saltzman [Greenday, The Sounds) and The Shys on Sire) and The Steakhouse with engineer/mixer John Cranfield (Anti Flag, Queens of the Stoneage).

The band's long awaited 7 song EP, entitled, " " is due for release in March and will be available through mail order, at shows and online. The full length debut album is expected to be out beforeWARPED and is close to completion. Consistent with Panima's commitment to excellence, Panima shot two new beautiful broadcast quality music videos for "Wake Up" and "Act of Change." Wake Up has received an awesome online response and within 2 weeks the band attained "semi-finalist" status, for being the best band of the week, on Music Nation for Best Video, complete with quotes from Good Charlotte and Howard Benson. Every judge on the panel voted for Panima and Music Nation's label immediately contacted the band about a record deal with their partner Epic Records. Panima's videos will be included in the LP and the "Act of Change" video will be out in April, 2007 in support of the album.
