Music career
In the late 1990s Hestla's band Virgos Merlot was signed to Atlantic Records. After their first release, Signs of a Vacant Soul, he became the touring bassist for Creed after the departure of Brian Marshall.[1][2] When Creed disbanded in 2004[3] he began a career as a record producer, forming the independent label Silent Majority in Orlando, Florida and working with bands such as Framing Hanley,[4] Transmit Now, Faktion, Tantric,[5] Refuse The Fall, Bad Axis, and Seven Day Sonnet.
In 2005 Hestla became the lead vocalist of Dark New Day. Dark New Day released their first full length, Twelve Year Silence, in 2005.[6] Their single "Brother" reached No. 7 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock charts.
Currently, he's working on his debut solo album. He confirmed that Mark Tremonti of Creed and Alter Bridge, Clint Lowery of Sevendust, Troy McLawhorn of Evanescence and Corey Lowery of Eye Empire will perform as guest players on his record.
