Burt Jamal Charles, a.k.a Pickliz, was born on June 22, 1990 in the diverse streets of North Miami Beach. Although born in Miami, Pickliz has always put his culture before anything. Just as it reads on the tattoo located across his right bicep, “Haiti” is closest to his heart. In 2003, his fellow cousins, Le Villain and Zoë slim began interesting him in free styling, which later became a thriving passion for the young artist. 
Pickliz has been part of the Haiti Fella movement since day one. He has excelled in the music as well as his education, achieving a bachelors degree in criminal justice, at Johnson & Wales University. No matter where Pickliz is at, he manages to leave an everlasting impression of what it is like to be a proud Haitian.
Coming from a background of musically inclined family, Pickliz took interest early on in different genres of music to include Kompa, Zouk, Hip-Hop, Reggae, and Jazz. His style brings a unique addition to the Haiti Fella music group. Their arrays of songs vary from topics of love to real-life everyday situations. Pickliz ads a spicy flare to the hip-hop inspired group that also does wonders with Rap Creole.
Burt J. Charles is currently still living in North Miami Beach and working on his music daily. He is inspired by proving common Haitian stereotypes wrong and improving the perception of Haitians around the world. The simplest way to describe the young talented artist is just by stating his name; Pickliz! A young, hot, and talented artist that has a spicy passion to be heard.

“I know why the caged bird sings…”

Art is free, limitless, and emotionally driven when expressed from the heart. Unfortunately, when attached to the pursuit of money or material gain, it becomes baseless and watered down. So in an era where we struggle to distinguish real from temporary artists, music as an art form is affected as well. For the Boston born singer/songwriter Tania, every song that she creates comes from real thoughts and emotions that are as boundless as the world she shares her music with. For every feeling she conveys, there exists an endless amount of styles and genres in her repertoire.

With her Cape Verdean and Senegalese background, a large part of Tania’s musical versatility is due to her upbringing. Whether pouring out her heart on an R&B ballad or seducing male fans in Creole, Tania’s vocal ability and talent are unmatched. Along with emotions from various personal instances, her lyrical content appeals to anyone regardless of age, gender, etc. "Music is the one thing that hasn't let me down," says Tania. “I share my pain and happiness and confusion and excitement in hopes that others just ‘get it.’” Her music is honest, blunt, and straight from the heart. Every lyric is written through trial & error, passion and experience. Real life art, from a real life artist.

As a fan of 90s Soul and R&B, Tania’s musical influences consist of legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Brandy. So it only makes sense that her music captures the feel of an era where listeners were able to identify with every word and emotion from their favorite singers. “I’ve cried while writing and recording songs because it’s a form of therapy for me,” explains Tania. “Nothing better than listening to a song I’ve written and then saying to myself, ‘yo, this is my life.’” No topic or experience is off limits for Tania, so putting everything on the table makes her music raw, real, and authentic.

Receiving acclaim on not only a national, but also international level, Tania has performed at multiple landmark venues from the Boston metropolitan area, to other parts of the country and beyond. She has also headlined such events as the Sao Filipe Music Festival in Cape Verde, sang the national anthem for the Boston Celtics, and has even opened for and been praised by such music legends as Johnny Mathis and Bill Withers.   ….In other words, Tania is slowly being regarded as one of the top rising talents in the industry.

Terius Youngdell Nash, better known by his stage name The-Dream, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. He is known for co-writing chart topping hits such as "Baby" for Justin Bieber, "Umbrella" for Rihanna, "Me Against the Music" for Britney Spears and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" for Beyoncé, as well as for his three solo albums, Love Hate, Love vs. Money, and Love King.

Representative of how the Internet can aid in creating music, the Foreign Exchange started when Little Brother rapper Phonte heard a beat on Okayplayer.com by Dutch producer Nicolay and asked if he could lay some vocals over it. Nicolay agreed, and the song "Light It Up" appeared shortly after as the B-side to Little Brother's 2002 single "Whatever You Say." Relying mainly on instant messaging and email, the duo continued to work together, with Nicolay sending beats to Phonte, who would add vocals and send them back until they had enough tracks together to form an album. Not once during the entire process of making their debut, Connected, which came out in 2004, did the members of the Foreign Exchange speak over the phone or in person. Due in part to an increasing production load, Nicolay moved to the States, and Leave It All Behind, the second FE album -- more R&B-oriented than the debut -- was recorded. Released in 2008 and featuring a handful of stunning videos, its lead single, "Daykeeper," was nominated for a 2010 Grammy in the category of Best Urban/Alternative Performance (and lost to India.Arie's "Pearls"). After assisting two of their associates, YahZarah (The Ballad of Purple St. James) and Zo! (SunStorm), with albums, the Foreign Exchange released Authenticity. All three albums were issued in 2010 through The Foreign Exchange Music. A DVD/CD set, Dear Friends: An Evening with the Foreign Exchange (2011) and a two-disc set of remixes and new songs titled The Reworks (2013) preceded the group's fourth studio album, Love in Flying Colors.
