Biography
I guess you can say I have been singing for as long as I can remember my father, I was told sang street corner harmony with the fellas and my mother sang with a group in Pennsylvania called Freedoms Pride.  I remember watching her at festivals in front of 100's of people and saying one day I will be doing that too. I remember wearing a towel on my head and giving my Nanny (grandmother) her private show.  I would sing Chaka Khans’ Everlasting Love and Hollywood over and over again.  My Nanny, she would just sit there and smile and say how good I was.  I enjoyed singing as a teen with my brothers and sisters Kevin, Karmentrina and Keenan (Expired 7 April 2007). We didn’t like all the practice time but it was nice singing and people loved it when my mother joined in.  It was a family affair. My mother introduced me to music and taught us all how to harmonize.  and I try to share that with my son, nieces and nephews. 

I am a person who loves to sit and think which drives me to write, I am a true romantic, especially in the songs I write.  I like to write things people can relate to.  I think we all go through similar situations but it is nice to know you aren't the only one. 

I fell in love with Luther in the early 80’s.  His background harmony arrangements blew me a way.  I guess you could say I get HIGH ON HARMONY.  I love singing in front of people because I love to feel the response that I get when sharing my talent.  I know it is a blessing, for I can touch people with a song. A feeling that can't be replaced.  I love both small and large arenas but the weird thing is I don’t like crowds of any kind when I am not performing.  I am more comfortable when I am on stage and after I sing the first note.  I am in my world and only I can invite the audience in.

I love that I have a fan base that appreciates my music and supports me.  Without fans to support me, there would be no Kimmy J. Kearse, Solo Artist. 

God, Family, Close friends and Music are the most important things in my life.  I cherish them all and I thank God that he has given me such a gift to share with anyone who wants to listen and enjoy my music. 

I guess you can say – “I got the music in me (smile)”

<center>Patrick Lew is an Asian American punk guitarist, songwriter and musician from Antioch, California. Best known for promoting his home-made recordings of music on his computer throughout the Internet and local do-it-yourself promotion and word of mouth. Mainly playing guitar as his main instrument, Lew also played bass, synthesizers and used his computer to experiment and sketch his music. Although he hasn’t yet found a wide appeal or market for his music, and many of his recordings received mixed reviews by critics and his music on record was relatively messy, loose and rough sounding in musical arrangement and production. Lew’s work does have a cult-like following and recognition locally in the Bay Area and on the Internet. Because of consistent DIY advertising on the Net and local “word of mouth” musical connections. So far, Lew has not been on any major or independent record company or promoted his music for mainstream media outlets and rarely plays a live performance onstage. Despite this, he has a loyal local and online networking of friends and fans who champions his music. Including some local Bay Area rock bands he’s friends with such as the San Francisco local pop rock band Distorted Harmony. 

Lew began his music career playing guitar and the bass in garage bands with high school and community college friends and associates, when he was 14 years old. And began getting his projects and solo work on the Internet, in May 2001. None of his former bands he played and pursued a music career in, had gained widespread recognition, gigs or success. And very few recordings and photographs of his former garage bands exist, and their live performances locally either were poorly attended or vaguely recognized, given the lack of gig attendees and their networking bringing audio/video recording devices or digital cameras to bootleg their performances. While playing in bands with little fanfare or recognition and vague history, Patrick also composed music solo and put his recordings online. However, in 2003. Lew’s former band Silent Minister had published and distributed a compilation of home demos and very primitive lo-fi live recordings called “Toyko Pop Princess” on LA indie music label Statue Records. By 2008, Lew withdrew from playing music in garage bands indefinitely and live performances. Partially, because of Bandalism and lack of musical proficiency and expertise to go onstage at the time. But mainly, lack of interest from the local music scene to offer Lew a gig or a musical role playing guitar in a band. But continued his musical pursuit as a hobbyist home musician by recording demos at home and posting them on websites, including MySpace, online via laptop. Whilst attending college full-time at CSU East Bay. 

Lew has suffered from depression and social discontent, conflict and isolation throughout much of his life, and these topics are reflected in his song ideas, art and music. Having had five former girlfriends, a failed marriage with a long-time female friend Faith whom he met on a free dating website, over very troubled reasons. Patrick Lew plays guitar mainly in a loose and unconventional Punk and Hard Rock style. And favors introspective subjects in his song ideas and music on record. Self-producing and promoting his music online regardless of musical skills and experience. Such as scant home recording and musical gear and skills applying to them. While he is mainly a hobbyist home musician who records demos of his music in his bedroom, and promotes or hypes his one-man rock band online. And locally through panhandling flyers of his Soundclick website in school and shops around the Bay Area. Fortunately, Patrick Lew is still making music and pursuing his art. And as of today, is still around doing what he loves the most. Playing in garage bands with college friends at his house in Antioch, California during leisure activity. And perfecting and honing his songwriting and musical craft in his bedroom and laptop with Wifi, regardless.

Q: Why this name?
A: My given name. My one man band.

Q: Do you play live?
A: No. I mostly make music at my house in my bedroom. Playing guitar and recording Punk Rock songs on my computer and posting it online. 

I mainly make music in my own bedroom using my guitars and other equipment for my enjoyment and the people who really, I mean really, appreciate it. 

Q:How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A: Changes things for the better. Allows all independent musicians and bands to get heard, and no longer having to depend on record labels and music industry corporations. There's a place now for all indie musicians to get heard. 

Q: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
A: I don't know. Because for one, I hate the music business. Maybe. If I got real benefits and opportunities from it.

The Beatles. 

But mostly the 80's and early 90's hard rock and contemporary punk.

Q: Favorite spot?
A: My favorite hang out is the Bay Area. Need I say more? Mostly fun places in the East Bay though. I had a lot of fun living in San Francisco until I turned 23, but the Bay Area or NorCal always was a musician's playground and social-networking for me.

Q: Equipment used:
A: My CHEAP guitars, Line6 TonePort GX, Apple GarageBand and chaotically insane ideas. And scant producing and mixing skills as a Punk/Grunge musician.

Q: Anything else...?
A: Keep listening to underground music. </center>

Sydney-based, British born DJ, D-Funk has amassed a fair few achievements in his 25-years on the decks. Making his club debut at The Depot in Bristol in 1995, he’s gone on to DJ all over the world, playing notable sets at Space Ibiza and Ministry Of Sound and released on labels including Sunday Best and Bombstrikes. 

Getting his first set of decks at 14, Doug initially fell for the sounds of jungle and techno before a night dancing to house icon Tony De Vit in 1997 turned him towards the slinkier sounds of house music. 

His DJ career began to take off during his time at university in Wolverhampton where he started to pick up gigs at the Canal Club and Mezzanine, playing alongside DJs including Joey Negro, Mr Fingers, Scott Bond and Lisa Lashes, before a move to the South-Coast town of Bournemouth led him to eventually start his own night ‘Break Da House’ in 2004. 

The night took off, attracting big names including The Stanton Warriors and Plump DJs and eventually led to D-Funk’s first release, the ‘Electrotek’ EP after Dub Pistols headlined one night and Barry Ashworth from the band decided to release Doug’s music on his Westway label. The track found its way onto a TV ad in Portugal, as well as becoming a mainstay on Kiss FM’s breakbeat chart and gave Doug the confidence to pursue a career as a producer as well as a DJ, eventually leading to releases on Adapted Records and Ghetto Funk among countless other labels over the next 15 years. 

Moving to Sydney Australia in 2009, Doug started his label Upstart Music, releasing his own productions alongside tracks from the likes of Crackerz & Jam, Niko & Lyall and Rogue Robot and later started the funk label Grits N Gravy alongside friend and funk producer Philly Blunt, with the label winning the ‘Best Label’ award at Perth Dance Music Awards in 2010. 

Since living in Sydney, Doug has held down residencies at The World Bar and The Standard/Middlebar for the best part of a decade, as well as regular slots at Sash, Ivy, Goros, Hugos and many others. He’s played events for high profile companies such as Blackberry, Telstra, Jagermeister,  Sydney Cricket Ground & Saatchi & Saatchi. But there was still demand for him back on the side of the world and he regularly returned to Europe to play at Space Ibiza (including a set at the penultimate night of Carl Cox’s Revolution party) as well as touring in the UK, Europe, Asia and Canada. 

Now 25 years into his career, Doug is about to mark the 10th anniversary of his label Grits ‘N’ Gravy, with a compilation due this year mixed by himself and Philly Blunt, and has been busy producing house, hip hop and nu-disco with his current production partner Mr Doris.

:: MING KNACKLE ::

Ming Knackle has been in the local electronic dance music scene since 2000. Best known for being a founding member of the now defunct Radiance Crew, Ming has been an active figure in the local scene spreading his love for the tech house sound for the past two decades.

Known as Ming since '99 before another DJ of the same namesake came into the scene somewhere in mid-2000, Ming took on the Ming Knackle guise to differentiate between the individuals. 

His journey has taken him though the local club and bar circuits, seeing invitations to perform at Zouk & Phuture (Jiak Kim), Centro (One Fullerton), Alleybar, Tanjong Beach Club, as well as private/independent events & parties.

With a sound palette that covers house, tech house, minimal through to techno and at times obscure electronica wherever appropriate, Ming handles his music with a no-nonsense approach and always packs a punch for the crowd with his track selection abilities to build moods & stories with his music.

Born in Belize and raised in New York City. MKL has a wide spectrum of influence embedded in his art. As a DJ, his desire to blend genres and flex his appreciation for music is focused around community – the end goal is to bring people together. “It was the mixing aspect that really drew me in,” he says. “The ability to take people on a journey via projection of one’s own vibe was the art form I fell in love with.” After twenty years behind the decks and about ten as a producer, Michael K Lopez founded Lion1Music, which serves as the ultimate outlet for his vision as an artist in the electronic music community.

MKL’s original material started with 3 Generations Walking, a production effort shared with Herman Pearl, a.k.a. Soy Sos. The pair’s debut, Skin, was released on Buddah Bar, At the same time, the duo began releasing remixes and MKL’s first contribution to Wave Music – the celebrated label founded by the legendary Francois K – was remixing Calm’s “People From The Earth & The Sun” with Soy Sos, which was released on a single alongside a remix from Dixon. Shortly after that, the 3 Generations team worked on “Slavery Days"  out  Spiritual Life Music, a label that combined world music and soulful house. “Slavery Days” got over ten licensing agreements and was included on the highly influential “ Body & Soul Vol. 4"

“Seven Times” – Lion1Music’s first release in 2004 – was a 12” that blended future jazz and deep house and utilized the production chemistry that had developed between Michael Lopez and Herman Pearl.  
 "The goal is to bring different musical communities together under one banner and, in the process, increase the global awareness of Lion1Music,” explains MKL. “We’re a progressive label for progressive music of all genres.” Tastemakers at major record labels soon became of MKL’s abilities which in turn have led to remixes for John Legend (“Green Light”).

MKL’s newest release, “Forever Love” is indicative of his emerging sound, blending deep house, techno and infectious chord progressions. When not in the studio MKL has been busy plying his trade behind the turntables both internationally and domestically. Recent ports of calls for the musical wanderer have included Japan, France, Moscow and Tulum. When at home he spins at some of the hottest nightspots in the Big Apple including Output, Cielo and Le Bain. The summer months sees MKL juggle a busy schedule of high end private bookings in the Hamptons & NYC, where he has recently spun at Gotham Hall, ST Regis & SoHi.
