In 2005, Ontic was created; performing New Rock and Top 40 cover songs in the Niagara Region. Ontic’s ideas and creativity will eventually lead them into studio to record their own material. All members of Ontic are very passionate and loyal to their music and most importantly, their fans and friends.
“Entertaining is just something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m glad I’ve been given the opportunity to express that on somewhat of a professional level”, says Dereck, Ontic’s leading front man. His passion for singing comes from a wide variety of classic and modern musical influences.
He began showcasing his vocal abilities in grade school to his friends and classmates and by the age of 17, could be found belting out tunes at karaoke bars across the Niagara Region.
Marcel was inspired from an early age to play the guitar, and at the age of 16, he received his first. “As far back as I can remember, music has made a “HUGE” impact on my life in many ways”. “ I’ve been in many bands, some good, some not so good…but I’ve learned a little something from each one along the way and had a lot of fun…music is my LIFE!”.
Influenced by a family rich in music (and Richie Sambora), Marcel remembers how learning to play did not come easy. He would get frustrated and almost give up, but every time he saw someone playing, the desire to make music would return.
Donny, The “Mighty Trooper God” (we’d tell you, but then we’d have to kill you), was self taught to play the drums at the age of 16, and has ever since spent most of his time behind the drum kit. With a variety of musical influences that include: Ozzy, Dream Theatre, Shinedown and Hinder, people can see why Donny’s enjoyment of playing the drums comes naturally.
Ontic’s bassist, and newest member Sash, has been playing bass since the age of 15. Early influences, such as Billy Shean, Geddy Lee and Cliff Burton, gave Sash the initiative and motivation to form his own garage band and in no time was ready for talent shows and other gigs.
Sash has been in many cover/original bands and has also played cross-country in a few tribute acts such as Pearl Jam and Creed.
Ontic loves to perform and will continue to do so for many years for their fans, friends and anyone else who wants to come on out and have some fun.
