From the smooth stylings of Sam Cooke to the lyrical beauty of Curtis Mayfield, soul music is rich in tradition, highlighted by an authenticity that few artists possess today.
Troy, on the other hand, is an exception.   

Part crooner, part troubadour and all storyteller, Troy is pure, unequivocal soul, evoking memories with each note he sings. With unbridled emotional power, Troy has an inherent ability to reveal his pain and draw you into his music. This inimitable talent is brightly evident on his critically acclaimed debut EP, When the Lights Came, which features the haunting, introspective single, “Rosary.”

Though raised in a musical household, Troy considered other avenues, even accepting an academic scholarship to college. However, after tragically losing his father, Troy yearned for a fresh start and transferred to Boston College, where he was overheard singing at work by local musicians. He joined them for jam sessions and honed his craft, using music as a way to grieve.  

In the summer of 2013, Troy relocated to New York to advance his career in music, eventually joining forces with accomplished producer Dante Lattanzi of Caelum Music Production. Together, Troy and Dante have continually produced work that has been impressing industry leaders and garnering leagues of enthusiastic new fans.  
 
Troy’s Pledge Music Campaign, which was set up to raise funding for his debut EP, proved a remarkable success. As a result, Troy was named “Artist of the Month” by The Deli New England. Troy has since been heralded by Jamsphere Magazine and featured on Spotify's Songpicker Best Songs of 2014 and 2015 playlist. His track “Song Man” was selected for Spotify’s “Evening Chill” playlist, and has racked up over a million plays, leading to all of his songs being played well over 4 million times.

Additionally, Troy was invited to open for Doug Wimbish and Will Cahoun of Living Colour at The School of Rock in Rockville Centre. The news came when New York Times bestselling author, Jessica Park, asked Troy to write an original song for her latest book, Restless Waters - the sequel to Left Drowning (Skyscape, 2013). Honored by Jessica's request, Troy dove deep into the story and wrote his latest single, “Coward.”

Authentic, soulful and beautiful, Troy stands out amongst the masses as a much needed reminder that music comes from passion and sincerity.

With soul and honesty Elle Sera’s convergence of grit and grace separates her from so many singer-songwriters of today.  You can do away with any notion that a singular genre or box would contain Elle’s broad songwriting styles and even broader skills as a vocalist.  Effortlessly and authentically, she flows through blues, rock, pop and country wrapped up in a singer-songwriter foothold that stir together to set her soulful vocals on fire with dynamic conviction.  With pure emotion and intention–all pouring out of a barely 5’ frame– it’s a true wonder to experience the size of her voice faceted with texture, power and deliberate sensitivity.

While her beginnings as a child were rooted in professional radio, TV, Broadway and film she finished her performing academics as an NYU graduate at Tisch.  Leaving college, she began with teaching herself guitar and committed to songwriting.  Through her lens of experiences on love, life, joy, pain, loss and spirituality Elle makes tangible her perspective in a way that draws the listener closer, hanging on every word and note.  

She has continually traveled to share her music stateside and abroad throughout Europe, connecting with and inspiring audiences, as well now through online platforms and connections.  There is no end to what she will explore in heart, soul, music and creativity and that’s the beauty of Elle Sera and her music.  Her doing so with authenticity, soul and passion will remind you that this is what music is about; connecting and inspiring us, engaging and putting us in touch with the parts of ourselves that yearn to feel.

Greg Oliveras was born to play music.  Through a sophisticated blend of powerful guitars, honest lyrics, and monster vocals, Greg’s jazzy pop-rock sound has yet to be heard elsewhere.  He recorded all instruments on his debut release, “Envision A World".
