Hello, my name is Justin Markowitz.  I am 24 years old and I've been playing piano, taking lessons, and composing since age 3.  I recently graduated Cal State Northridge and majored in Music - Media Composition.  I hope to one day compose music for feature films and/or TV shows or even write pop songs for an artist or become one myself.  I recently started writing more "pop" type of songs and have opened up a new door in my creativity with writing lyrics.  I love writing all different genres of music and I love to challenge myself to create something new everyday.  If you wish to contact me my email address is markowitzmusic@yahoo.com

Made of members from Florida and Nashville.. Southern Rumble defines the Flo-Nash Sound. Kick ass guitars and rockin vocals with catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics.

LA native and founder of ARIADA, Lesleigh Arratia, is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and instrumentalist who pulls heavy influence from artists like St. Vincent, Kimbra, Queen and Tame Impala to name few.

Beginning her musical career as a classical vocalist and pianist, she studied under Ryan Reithmeier, noted Instructor at USC's Thorton School of Music and was apart of Operwork's 2011 Summer Program for Young Emerging Artists. After being awarded a sanction by the State of California as an Artistic Scholar, she made her way to Chicago where she briefly attended DePaul University School of Music for voice.

There, Lesleigh began composing her own original music and formed ARIADA, previously known as The Outfit. Over 3 years of tremendous local growth, the band had seen great success with their unique sound that featured powerhouse vocals backed by soulful instrumentals. The band dropped their self titled debut EP in late August 2013, having spent a few months recording with Grammy Award-nominated producer, Chris Steinmetz.The EP was positively received by critics and press. They played most of Chicago's top venues and toured the midwest until the band dismembered in 2015.

Since then, Lesleigh has retained the ARIADA name, moved back to her hometown and begun working with producer Bradford Snow. Together they are set to release their first EP as Ariada "Blank State of Mind" in August 2016
