Tahj Mowry is the true definition of a triple threat: an accomplished actor, singer, and dancer who has worked with the entertainment industry’s top studios, musicians, and talent. At an early age, Tahj discovered his love of music and performing, proving to be a natural in the spotlight.

Music has always been a passion for Mowry and he is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on his debut album. Mowry refers to his music as “Future Funk”, a futuristic funk/soul sound with electronic and alternative undertones.

When it comes to genre, Tahj blurs the lines between pop & rock while simultaneously fusing together the purest elements of soul. The sound is reminiscent of Michael Jackson, Prince, and Lenny Kravitz, all of whom Tahj credits as inspiration. These influences are especially evident on his first single “Walker,” which is dripping with harmonies and lyrics that would make the biggest performers of the 80’s proud. A gifted dancer, Tahj has performed in numerous music videos for stars such as Michael Jackson, Prince, and Mariah Carey. Under Debbie Allen’s choreography, Tahj also danced for three consecutive years on the live television broadcast of the Grammys and appeared as Oliver Twist in the musical “Twist.”

Mowry is no stranger to television or film either. Some of his guest star credits include “Friends,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Sister, Sister,” and “Full House.” He is also well known for his series lead roles on the smash hit “Smart Guy” and “Kim Possible.” Mowry’s feature credits range from the TV movie “Hounded” to the motion picture “Are We Done Yet?” Mowry can currently be seen starring as Tucker Dobbs on the 4th season of the hit ABC Family show “Baby Daddy”, a role for which he has been nominated for numerous awards ranging from the Teen Choice Awards to, most recently, the People’s Choice Awards.

A former stand-­‐out scholarship football player at Savannah State University, Tahj remains a college football fan and in his spare time loves watching indie films and hanging out with his friends. Tahj resides in Los Angeles.

Tahj is releasing his debut album in 2015 and has plans to tour this summer.

In a dark kitchen in the middle of a sweaty night in Las Vegas, all 6’4” of Dan Reynolds is hunched over a laptop, slapping beats on the table and crooning lyrics into a tiny microphone. Before long, he and the other three members of indie rock band Imagine Dragons would be playing “It’s Time,” that same laptop-demo-turned-supersized-anthem, from the roof of a parking garage to a wave of thousands of screaming fans. This song title to the single from their 2012 debut KidInaKorner/Interscope release “Continued Silence EP” is an all too apt descriptor of the band’s hard-earned success—but it’s also emblematic of the deep-seated anxiety Reynolds and the rest of the band experienced leaving behind any realistic expectation of a normal job to do the thing they love most.

A third-generation Las Vegas native, Reynolds is no stranger to the adage “the house always wins,” choosing to pave his musical career with a near obsessive work ethic and hundreds of unused demos rather than roll the dice with the first songs that sprung from his mouth. It’s no surprise, then, that he was drawn to guitarist Wayne Sermon, another founding member of Imagine Dragons. Having practically grown up in a recording studio and graduated Berklee College of Music, Wayne had been practicing his guitar through meals and other socially inappropriate situations as long as he could remember; he challenged Dan in a way that was both uncomfortable and exactly what they both needed. When they began writing songs together and recognized something special was happening, Wayne called up his Berklee friend Ben McKee, who promptly dropped out of school with only a few credits left, moving across the country to play bass for the band. This sort of reckless/genius behavior is typical for Ben, who has an uncanny penchant for spicy food and a suitcase full of unbelievable road stories. More recently, the band was joined by drummer Daniel Platzman, another Bostonian schoolmate who seems way too nice to be playing rock and roll until you actually see him in action.

Several tours and three self-released EPs later, Imagine Dragons had made a serious name for itself, particularly in the west coast circuit. Although their songs vary from nearly whimsical and light to brooding and powerful, listeners are drawn to the inherent honesty in the music. The only rule of thumb for the band, it seems, is to write from a true place; the result is songs that literally run the spectrum of human emotion. Attend a concert, and it becomes clear that the live performance of deeply personal songs has a real effect on people. And the band itself is not immune, as demonstrated when Dan literally passed out into the drum set during a finale song, sending cymbals and drum stands crashing while the rest of the band played on until the close.

Great songwriting is bound to be noticed eventually. As proof that the harder you work, the luckier you get, one of those people who noticed was Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid (Eminem, Rihanna). Alex and Dan began collaborating on projects, and soon the band had developed a relationship with Alex and his team. The alchemy resulting from Alex’s hip hop sensibilities and Imagine Dragons’ anthemic rock is nothing short of explosive. The byproduct of this creative collision is “Continued Silence,” a six song in-your-face sonic grenade that breaks musical boundaries and yet is strangely relatable by its improbably diverse audience.

Despite it all, on any given day when they aren’t on the road playing shows, you can still find Imagine Dragons huddled away in a rehearsal room somewhere, banging out song after song in search of the next perfect track. Like most things in Vegas, the band is angled at going big or going bust. For the sake of those who love great music, we hope it’s the former.
