"The beginning of the end is here again...."

Playful and haunting, this melancholy orchestral number with sweet vintage vocals will have you dancing all the way to the tissue box.

Crocker: Quartet vignettes (2003)

Dutch composer Paul Frankhuijzen (1956) calls himself a composer of natural movement. 
Paul often uses various socio-cultural issues as inspiration for his work. Thereby the main 
theme is not confrontation, on the contrary, it is the inspiration. 

Paul studied the following subjects:
composition ad Tilburg Conservatory by Daan Manneke and Alexandru Hrisanide and Sonology ad 
The Institute for Sonology in Utrecht. 
lessons in singing Early Music. 
Ensemble directing and orchestra as practice teacher with Jac Van Steen. 

He composing for different festivals and ensembles.  For example Mondriaan quartet, Monica Germino, Mantagni quartet, Novermusic festival, Festival of New Adeas Cambrridge University.



Currently teaching at the Global Music Academy in Berlin, Daniel presents his music heavily based on percussive elements and in an innovative technique for bass lines. His unique style of playing the 7-string guitar impresses the most renowned guitarists around the world, showcasing a surprising quasi-orchestral sonority: the whole rhythm section at his hands.  
 
     The young guitarrist is a winner of the Brazilian Grammy as an orchestra arranger and producer ("Prêmio da Música Brasileira - 2010"), he has also been having the privilege of performing for the Swedish Royall Family since 2008 at the occasion of Princess Viktoria´s Birthday commemorations. 

Leah Ashton is a Los Angeles-based artist whose style and sound is grounded in the combined traditions of soul, jazz, and the 60s/70s era singer-songwriter. Influenced by the likes of Sara Bareilles, Lake Street Dive, Jamie Cullum, Carole King, and Bill Withers, Leah’s music draws listeners in with her powerfully soulful voice that tells stories of self-discovery, empowerment, and chasing after one’s dreams.

Leah’s new holiday EP, sad girl silver bells, will be released in November of 2024. This collection of beautifully melancholic Christmas songs mixes heartfelt vocals and jazz adjacent arrangements with lush string and woodwind orchestrations, and leans into themes of heartache, loss, loneliness, and conflict during a time of year that is traditionally met with joy and peace.

sad girl silver bells is a follow up to her 2022 debut full-length album, Late Bloomer: a genre bending, pandemic era, election year journey from the perspective of a maturing woman coming into her own in her mid-30s. Late Bloomer marked a return to Leah’s artist roots after spending more than a decade working behind the scenes in Los Angeles as a contracted vocalist supporting artists like Andy Grammer, Michael Bolton, Matoma, Katori Walker, and JMSN, and performing on stages like the Hollywood Bowl, The Dolby Theater, The Ford Amphitheater, and the Cannes Film Festival, and appearing on TV shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live!, House of Lies, and Good Day LA.

As a Midwest native, Leah began releasing music in her early 20s (an independently released EP Things Better Left Unsaid in 2010, and a self-titled EP from Orangehaus Records in 2007), but took a slightly longer than expected pause on pursuing her own original music upon moving to Los Angeles. 

Now, along with continuing to write and release music of her own, Leah is also co-writing a new musical, Two Crowns (working title), developing both the music and script. You can find Leah performing music from all of these projects around the greater Los Angeles area.
