Born and raised in Southern
California, Melo Kan knew, since very young, that his soul needed music,
not only to revel in the expression of his clever observation, but also to communicate his message to many others.
His first tentative steps into professional rap were taken as being part of a group called “Klas~sick”. During that time he got a good taste of what performing was like through the MC battle.
However, it would be as a solo artist and forerunner of the “New West”
hip hop scene, following Dr. Dre’s protégé, The Game, that Melo Kan would blaze the streets with a hip
hop ripe in thought provoking lyrics. Popularly considered to have a flow that resembles a young 2pac mixed with Jay-Z, Melo Kan is E pluribus unum, which is Latin for "Out of many, one", and is also the title of the
album (E.P.U.) that have consolidated him as a People Choice Awards winner.

Oliver and Sebastian Pigott have been gigging almost since they were ten years old. Both powerful singers, each of them with their distinctive tone and character but both with the same peculiar warmth in their voices (secret weapon of mass seduction), they are also accomplished songwriters and musicians.
In the early 2000s, Oliver and Sebastian founded “Laughing Sam's Dice” which got quite a big and passionate following in the Toronto Indie Scene, taking them to national television and legendary clubs as El Mocambo and The Opera House.
It was then when Oliver, the elder of the brothers, was signed to a publishing deal by BMG Canada, which took him to spend the following five years working with some of the most respected names in the music industry and touring all over the U.S., UK and other places in the world. His work has, in fact, been admired by artists such as Amy Winehouse, Tony Cowell and Lukas Rossi. |

He began playing piano at seven
and discovered jazz at fifteen. Since then, the Berklee College of Music graduate, IMA winner and multiple IMA-Jazz-nominee Marco Benevento, has been on tour all across the U.S., several times, has toured abroad,
has released four solo albums, another four albums as part of the critically acclaimed Benevento Russo Duo and another album with the group Garage A Trois.
He has played Playing Carnegie Hall on a bill with Jamie Cullum, bewitched Fricke from Rolling Stone and, as if he needed to prove some kind of superpower to the world (let's say the ability to split into five people or maybe a kind of super stamina), has had the time to start up The Royal Potato Family.

And the spice is in the mix. Olefunk fanbase are rapidly increasing not
only in their country of origin, Spain, but part of Europe, some local Florida radio stations and now...China.
The three main components of this group, which is supported by a full band of national and international musicians, are Ricardo Ruiz, a.k.a. Nito, the sound of flamenco and the southern Spanish rythms, Raul Benitez, soul and funk, and last, but not least, Dani Casañ (former member of ‘Chambao’, million-selling flamenco-chill group well known in Spain, UK, Europe and, especially since their singer Mari colaborated in Ricky Martin's album "MTV Unplugged",
most of South America and the latin population in the U.S.), who, in the shadows, goes about plotting most
of the song writing and lyrics, being the creator of this hybrid.

SWEETLY CONQUERING YOUR SOUL |
Born in Royal Lemington Spa and based in London, Amy Crowther is one of those talents that sweetly but steadily cling to your mind.
A musician (piano) singer and songwriter, she is just starting in her professional musical career and is already raising great interest, not only in the music industry but also in the film industry.
Not one but two of her songs, 'Waiting 4 U' and 'Leave it all behind', co-written with Dan The Automator, were selected to form part of the soundtrack of the multi award-winning independent comedy film "Left / Right", written and directed by the Wolfe brothers and starred by Matthew Wolfe (US).
