Early Life

Ferras was born in a small town in Southern Illinois. His parents divorced when he was young. One day his father took him to the airport promising a trip tp Disneyland , instead spiriting him away to Amman, Jordan. He began writing songs at a young age, taking solace in the Casio keyboard that his father gave him.

Career

Ferras was signed to EMI's Capitol Music Group after an audition for the label's chairman Jason Flom while on Spring Break from Berklee College of Music.

Ferras then flew to New York City to cut the demos which would eventually form his debut album Aliens & Rainbows, which will be released on April 1, 2008.

The first single from the album will be Hollywood's Not America (Co-written by the Matrix' Lauren Christy), and will feature as the "exit song" of part of Season 7 of American Idol.

Ferras made his first national performance of his first single on February 12, 2008 on the Today Show.
