Guitarist

Hailing from Avon, Ohio, guitarist Joey DeRonde has been chasing riffs since the age of nine. He first cut his teeth at Guitar Center and the Avon School of Music before honing his craft at Ron Zehel Guitar Center in Avon Lake, where he became a dedicated student of the Rock Academy.

 

 Soon after, Joey joined the high-energy band Running With Scissors (RWS), quickly making waves across Ohio’s rock scene. With countless gigs under their belt, RWS’s breakout moment came when they stormed the stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, becoming the youngest band in 27 years to reach the finals of the Tri-C High School Rock Off in 2024, the band carried that momentum into the 2025 Rock Off at Mercury Music Lounge in Lakewood, earning the title of Fan Favorite.

 

Joey continues to sharpen his skills through the Rock Academy program at Ron Zehel and additional training at Rocktown in Lorain, Ohio. When he’s not on stage or in the rehearsal room, he’s jamming with friends, always exploring new sounds on his Charvel, PRS, Fender Strat, and SBS guitars.

 With a love for music that’s as relentless as his playing, Joey is carving out his place as one of Ohio’s rising guitarists to watch.

Pianist

Seraphina Jia is a self-taught musician with a genuine love for making and sharing music. She sparked her musical journey on the piano, picking up trumpet and many other instruments along the way.  Seraphina enjoys exploring new sounds and performing on stage, where she connects with others through the energy and joy of live music.

Drummer

Tommy has been playing drums since he was 9 years old, but his love for music started long before he ever picked up a pair of sticks. From the beginning, he was inspired by legendary drummers like Lars Ulrich, Bill Ward, and Ringo Starr. He spent hours watching them play, studying their techniques, and figuring out how he could turn those influences into something that felt like his own. As a left-handed drummer, Tommy has developed a style that is completely his, and he is always finding new ways to push himself behind the kit.

  

 In 2023, Tommy joined Running With Scissors, now known as Remnants, competing in the Rock Off at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where they became the youngest band to make it to the finals. Tommy is constantly exploring music and looking for new things to bring into his playing. He loves experimenting with different genres, from jazz and rock to metal and everything in between. He believes there is always something new to learn, and every musician he listens to gives him another idea to try. Music has already given Tommy so many unforgettable experiences, and he’s only just beginning. Now, he’s incredibly excited to bring his passion, energy, and love for performing to Brady and the band. He can’t wait to make music, create memories, and see where this next chapter takes them.

Bass

Growing up in a musical family, Ally was surrounded by music from the start and took to it the moment she sat behind the piano. She developed her reading skills and ear training through piano lessons, but before long, her curiosity led her to pick up the guitar—and soon after, the bass, the instrument she instantly connected with.

 

Her time with School of Rock and her school’s jazz band deepened her love for music and accelerated her growth; all she wanted to do was practice and play. It wasn’t long before she earned a reputation as a rising star—a strong, driven young musician whose talent was impossible to miss. Through recommendations and introductions, she found the perfect opportunity with Brady to continue her musical journey.

 

There’s so much talent simmering in this band—just wait for the explosion!
