Meet Ultraviolet Communication

Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ultraviolet Communication.

We are a trio of musicians called Ultraviolet Communication aka UVC. In December of 2017, Lee Pickett (drummer) and Josiah Rodriguez (guitarist) met at a coffee shop after discussing mutual musical interests through responses to a craigslist ad posted by Rodriguez. We hit it off right away and began to meet regularly to jam. Josiah was approached by a friend in late April of 2018 inquiring if he knew any good drummers for studio work. He recommended Lee to his friend and the two began to meet along with a bass player/ vocalist. This was Matt Morgan. Lee and Matt, having lost interest in the studio project, started to meet outside of that to play and discuss their music tastes. Not soon after, we all began playing and writing music together and have been ever since.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
For the most part, things have been fairly smooth, but when we first started playing together, it took some time for each of us to figure out how to play with one another. Having come from similar yet incredibly different musical backgrounds, we all brought something different to the table. Learning each other’s strengths and applying them became crucial to successfully defining our sound.

Please tell us about Ultraviolet Communication.
This project aims to transcend the common verbal language barriers echoed in the public by creating a common ground in the form of music for all people to enjoy. We all love music more than anything in our lives and are extremely dedicated to being the best musicians we can be, not only for ourselves but for our audience as well. We believe this sets us apart from other acts and are hopeful that others will see this as well.
