Coming from a rich heritage of music, the Harlem, Georgia native is no stranger to the music industry. Ebony Evans was introduced to the world  by the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, and signed to his label at the age of 12 in 1992.  From performing at halftime for major league sports events to appearances on the national television show Star Search as a child, Ebony Evans began developing her skills early. Years later in 1999 Ebony Evans was a featured soloist on the Grammy nominated Georgia Mass Choir album: Georgia Mass Choir Present Youth For Christ: "Higher".

Finally after several failed record deals, she signed to independent label Emandolynn Music in 2007 Ebony Evans and released her critically acclaimed independent debut album Luv's Fire to rave reviews internationally. She then followed that with the 2011 critically acclaimed sophomore album You Did It All. Both albums original sounds and songs, reminiscent of the 'classic soul' sound of the 60's, and 70's, provided a platform for what national and  international radio and magazine media called a "young lady whose name you will recognize for years to come".

IDA fLO, a first generation Senegalese-Brit born in Mexico, and raised in San Francisco, is well recognized as one of the highest performing vocalist/songwriters in House Music today. Named after her grandmothers, Ida {EE-dah} and Florence, IDA fLO also inherited their entrepreneurial, resilient, and joyful spirits. 

James Brown, Michael Jackson, Erykah Badu, Youssou N’Dour, Lauryn Hill, and Bob Marley were ever present voices that influenced IDA’s unique vocal sound, and the inclusive love and spirit of House pulled her into the genre. What started as a spontaneous recording session in London in 2015, turned into her first release on Glasgow Underground Records w/ CASSIMM,  launching IDA fLO into the world and work of a singer-songwriter.

Growing up in the USA, IDA fLO witnessed her immigrant parents demonstrate courage as they traveled the road of life through the vehicle of their art. She recalls sitting beside her father as he put brush to canvas, creating visual portals into the stories and legends of his Senegalese ancestors. Her mother worked with paint too, from pottery to screen printing fabric and garments. This and IDA fLO’s affinity for the performing arts inspired her to study voice, piano, and dance.

IDA fLO’s music currently sits at 12.4M playlist reach on Spotify, 53 top charted tracks on Traxsource, 40 top charted tracks on Beatport. With releases on Toolroom, DVINE Sounds, Black Book Records and more.

Daria „Dasha“ Pavlishin - one of the most talented unsigned singers on the planet. She had in the last years several offers from major record companies in Europe as well as in the United States, but Daria decided to wait and did not go for the "quick fame". She wanted to keep developing her voice, try different music genres and find herself as an artist first, before entering the "big stage" and become "The Next Big International Superstar".

Usher says her voice is like fine wine: Shakira says she is the perfect singer- perfect pitch, perfect tone: Rick Hall of the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Ala., defines Shawna P as likely “The best soul singer I have ever heard”; Adam Levine says, “This girl’s just a bad ass,” and George Clinton calls her “The Long Lost Queen of Funk;”
Shawna P has a big voice; and she has the personality to match. Shawna P is as REAL as they come.  Anyone who knows her will tell you, Shawna P is the truth. She is The Queen of the EarthFunk Tribe, The Funk Preacha, Pure Mother Earth Energy.
Shawna P is not only a powerful voice, she’s an accomplished singer/songwriter.
In 2013, Shawna P was among 50,000+ hopefuls to audition for Season 4 of NBC’s hit show “The Voice.”She was just another singer vying for her chance at success. Then the big call came! She was flown to L.A. from the Gulf Coast of Alabama (the “other L.A.,” as she calls it,  referring to the moniker adopted by those who hail from “Lower Alabama”) and found herself in Hollywood among 230+ hopefuls.  The unique grit and power of Shawna P’s voice turned two of those big red chairs-- Adam Levine’s “You have a voice on you. We want what you got.”and Shakira’s-- landing her a spot on Season 4 of The Voice.  Needless to say, Shawna P’s life changed forever. She would be singing on the #1 television show in America, NBC’s “The Voice,”and the world would finally hear what her fans have been enjoying for years.  
Shawna P confidently yet humbly began pulling at our heartstrings with her southern, raw, emotional style of singing and, seemingly effortlessly, cast her own enchanting web of southern Muscle Shoals infused grit and flavor on classics from The Black Crowes, Janis Joplin and Paul McCartney (Shawna P, on the other hand, brought an almost religious fervor to “Maybe I’m Amazed” that unearthed a bluesy, world-weary side of the song I never knew existed- Michael Slezak, tvlnline.com).. If only she could have performed some of her signature EarthFunk Muzik for those coaches, she may well have won the whole competition.
Shawna P has been writing and interpreting her own songs for years and even secured a coveted publishing deal while performing with the Muzik Mafia in Nashville, where she lived and honed her craft for 12 years. While living and performing in Nashville, Shawna P shared the stage with great artists such as Kid Rock, Charlie Daniels, George Clinton, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, James Otto, Scott Weiland (of The Stone Temple Pilots), Donnie Van Zant, Robert Randolph and even recorded a duet of her original song with the legendary Michael McDonald.  
Since appearing on NBC’s “The Voice,” Shawna P has garnered praise from Rolling Stone magazine- “shawna p mopped the floor with her rendition of  Janis Joplin classic “Piece of My Heart”, People magazine, and E-Online. among others. She even received a personal message of praise and support from vocal phenomenon Kelly Price. More importantly, at the age of 45, she has encouraged people of all generations to never stop dreaming and never stop believing in their dream.
She is currently writing a book, writing songs for her new, yet-to-be-titled album project and offering vocal coaching to a lucky few aspiring vocalists. She and The EarthFunk Tribe have plans to perform at music festivals and tour America and Europe as soon as the new album is completed.
