    My life has always been entwined with Music.  My mother is an Amazing singer (who is actually in a band right now! ), and I grew up listening to her sing.  My Father used to play the guitar and write poetry.  I grew up listening to a lot of Jazz and Gospel...that my Minister father would BLAST on the weekends when he was off of work.  
    It probably wouldn't surprise you to hear that I was recorded on tape (lol) singing and talking into a microphone when I was only 2!  I wish that I still had that recording.  :-)  This instilled, at a very early age, the fire to perform that has been stoked in me ever since.  Now I LIVE Music.
    I sang all through school, and got every Solo part that I tried out for.  I sang 1st Soprano when I was a boy, hitting and holding notes that most girls had a hard time with.  I find it almost ironic that now my voice is so low and raspy.  :-)  
    Band was next.  With, as I was told, an almost perfect "pitch ear", I could reproduce notes easily.  I, however, quickly grew bored of not being able to be in the spotlight on stage...moving and shaking.  I went back to singing.  Eventually, my love of the English language that had been spawned by my father, took me on a journey of writing.  This brings me to today.  
     I am now an Actor, Singer (not great anymore lol), Songwriter, Poet, and HIp-Hop artist.  I work for one of the Largest PV (Solar) Companies in Hawaii to pay the bills right now, but I LONG for the day when I can fully immerse myself in ART again.  I also do some Personal Training on the side, mostly to help people to achieve their goals.  Currently, I am working on my new Website (EpitomeART.com), which will showcase not just my journey, but also the journeys of some of my friends and associates that have devoted their lives to ART, in one facet or another, as well. 
    What's NEXT..........??  I will be signed to an Entertainment Company  (Music/Acting)   "Whoever finds me is going to get a Finders Fee that's out this world... Ain't noone out their mind as me!!..."  ~Eminem                      ;-)  1 <3   <EMC>

Many artists struggle to establish their musical identity, laboriously trying on different musical styles like a piece of clothing, looking to find what fits. But there are others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft, their identity and their music. Jade Lawson fits firmly in the latter category. Her new mix tape, OxyGEN, is a captivating and moving debut that heralds the arriv al of a gifted and significant new talent, one whose music feels familiar in the best possible way, while striking out on its own territory. 
A Baltimore girl who grew up alongside her two older brothers, she frequently wrote poetry starting at the age of 7 and played the drums but didn’t take music too seriously until the age of 11. She explains, “I was at a point in my life where I had many interest and hobbies, but didn’t really explore them. That is until my 6th grade teacher started hosting an in-class talent showcase on Fridays…if we behaved. I didn’t participate the first week but sat and watched in amazement as a few guys in my class got up and rapped. I said to myself, I can do that. So I went home and started going through my brother’s cd collection to get some inspiration. I popped in Lil Wayne’s The Carter and Jay Z’s The Gift & the Curse. To my surprise I couldn’t come up with ANYTHING! So I quickly jotted down some of Wayne and Jay’s best lines, thinking no one would notice. So the next week came and I was excited to unleash my newly found “gift”. But as soon as I began, one of the guys shouted, “That’s from Jay’s song!” I was so embarrassed, they laughed at that for the rest of the year and told me I couldn’t rap. Throughout my entire life, if anybody ever told me I couldn’t do something, I would try that much harder to prove them wrong. So from that point on that’s what I did. That’s right, unlike many other artists whose inspiration to do music came from idols and their favorite artist, I was inspired by a couple of 6th graders."
By the time she was 13, Jade’s ability to compose not only a hot 16 but a song for that matter, had blossomed to an extent where her former 6th grade classmates were shocked but surprisingly proud. She recorded her first song at the age of 12 entitled, “Scandalous”. She rapped alongside her childhood friend Robbie who was featured on the song as well. It seemed as though she was a bit shy to record by herself so she wrote a verse for him. They both shocked everyone in the studio. 
She made writing a daily routine, improving with each song written. Even though the talent and material was there, she still had to work on her stage presence and confidence. With time it got better and better. By the time she was 17, a senior in high school, she was a beast. She started performing on a regular basis, whether that being talent shows in high school or local open mic nights. She started to build a name for herself…J-Staar was beginning to transform into the artist she aspired to be.
Jade’s 1st mixtape was highly anticipated and skyrocketed with over 1000 downloads in its first week. She explains, “This was huge for me! I really didn’t have a big fan base, so for me to see results this great and in such little time, had me on cloud 9. I put so much time in effort in making it, as far as writing, the final track listing I chose, the features on the album, as well as the production, that the stats afterwards were rewarding enough.” 
Some may say that it would be difficult to top her 1st, StaarShip, but indeed she did. With her new project OxyGEN underway, she’s already receiving feedback that her Team can be proud of. Some of the songs are even debuts of her beat production. Yes, not only is she a riveting recording artist and writer, she also makes her own beats. She explains, “I find myself exploring a lot and with me having such a big role in choosing production and the beats that I want to use, I figured, why not try my hand at it.” And that she did. 
As for now, she’s still in the process of finishing her 2nd mix tape, including production and promotion. Plans for a DMV tour is also in the works featuring other local up incoming artists. She promised herself to never let anything or anybody discourage her. She quotes, “Positivity equals Positivity. With that being said, I’m ready to make my mark!”
“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.”

Hell Rippers is a Hard 'n' Heavy band from Milan. Four guys began to play togheter at the high school, as usual, starting to cover thier favorite group such as Iron Maiden and Metallica. This beginning influences on the style of the band wich aim is to reproduce the great and heavy sound of the early Metallica or Motorhead and the melodic style of group such as Iron Maiden, Helloween and so on... So the stuff of this band are mostly heavy speed song, and melodic ballads, all the lyrics are a quite epic, inspired from milton, romantic ballad's, comics. The members are: Samuele Torresani, on main voice and bass guitar. He's the engine of the band, writing the most of the music and the whole lyrics of the songs. Davide Montanari on the main guitar, who aid in the carrying out of the songs with great shredding-inspired solos and heavy and fast riffs. Bruno Minini, who is actually the rock soul of the band, he's the most realizer of melodic clean riffs. The last, but not the least is Gabriele Faoro on the drum that gives a grate improvement in the sound of the band thanks to his studies and his passion on prog.

Electro pop and dance music reach new heights with Jvel, an artist from the Canary Islands who not only sings but also composes and produces his own songs.

He has performed at one of the most vibrating concert venues in the Canary Islands, as well as in various clubs and pubs. After moving to Madrid, he had the opportunity in January 2005 to record his firsts music compositions with Marko Katier, former producer of ¨La Quinta Estación” (Spanish music band) who has collaborated with renowned artists such as Marta Sanchez, David Bisbal and David De Maria.

In addition to recording, he continues to compose and sing in many discotheques and to participate in a variety of festivals.

In the latter part of 2008 he produces new recordings with Lean G, who among other artists, also produces for Lorenzo Duarte from Venezuela. (http://www.amzrecords.com).

In 2009, Jvel starts introducing his demos at different well known venues in Madrid, such as Delirio Live, Ocho y Medio and Taboo, among others.

In 2010 Jvel studies music production and achieves his aim of producing his own music, this time in English.

Jvel’s dedication pays off in 2011 when he is discovered by the producer Carlos Jean who collaborates with him to produce the 4th song of the álbum “El Plan B”, namely Keep the Trance which peaked at number 1 on Itunes in June, 2011. Carlos Jean also collaborated with his solo song Adrenaline from the same album.   

In 2012, Jvel starts composing with producers and DJs such as Arake and David Van Bylen, the latter being the singer of the group Estereotypo and producer of various singers like Raphael, Dorian, Sidonia, Soraya and Amaia Montero, among others. This is when the song Now or Never, in collaboration with David Van Bylen, goes on sale under the label of Music Squad through Itunes, Spotify and Beatport and is played on Argentinian radio stations, while being included in various summer albums such as “Playa Mix 2012” and “Los Numero 1 de la Radio”. A video clip of Now or Never, directed by Ibai Fernandez, is produced.  In September 2012 Van Bylen and Jvel release an EP of remixes with free downloads to promote the new video clip.

Later Jvel edits “In the World”, from the House genre, with producer and Dj Frank Cherryman under the label Moorgate Records.

In 2013 Jvel rolls out the video clip I wanna Dance, with the collaboration of renowned artists like David Van Bylen, Arake and Eduardo Naya. The video clip is directed by Fuxedo Devito, while Hija de Pirómano does the styling, makeup and hairdressing.

In 2014, Jvel collaborates in theatre productions, at the same time working at producing his first studio Album, “Genealogical”.

In May 2015, Jvel releases his first Album, with 14 songs plus 4 bonus tracks with free download on the Internet. This Album has the collaboration of Dan Barrow, David Van Bylen, Oliver Tee, Arake and Night Waves as producer of some of the songs of the album which peaked at number 37 of Itunes, a very good position if we consider that the album didn´t have a lot of promotion worldwide, nor any recording studio to back it up.

Jvel is the personification of hope. He transmits so much passion in what he does that he is capable of captivating a whole football stadium, and if we add this to his unstoppable range of compositions, we have an awesome artist who only needs the necessary means to swamp us with his music.

Award-winning, New York-based vocal virtuoso Gino Sitson is a French-American originally from the Bamileke region of Cameroon, Central Africa. His family comes from a long line of musicians known as Ntontas ("players of horns") and his mother is a vocalist and choir director. He and his siblings were introduced to blues, jazz and African traditional music early in life.
Mr. Sitson is a pioneer of a new generation of multi-culturally influenced African musicians who are integrating into their musical styles their own exciting yet bewildering welter of "in-between" living experiences (north/south, tradition/modernity, 20th/21st century). His daring musical project combines in a most innovative way jazz, gospel, blues and traditional African polyphonic rhythms and melodies. By freely combining his trademark vocal acrobatics with a breathtakingly creative command of oral and body percussions and miscellaneous effects, Mr. Sitson forged an eloquent vocabulary capable of communicating far beyond any limits of language or custom. Through his vocal wizardry, he stunningly creates an endless range of sounds and atmospheres. Sitson’s seamless four- octave range travels from a soulful, resonantly masculine tenor with woodwind-like overtones to a high-soaring, nearly genderless spiritual wail, a feat that recalls Brazil’s Milton Nascimento, another deep-rooted yet restlessly protean, jazz-inflected shape-changer.

 Gino Sitson’s four-octave voice plus his skills as a composer and arranger put him in high demand for recording sessions and for commercials and radio / television jingles (Danone, Dim, Peugeot, Vahine, etc). The versatile young vocalist performed in a musical and co-composed part of the music (Jeanne et le Garçon Formidable).
He has laid down tracks or shared the stage with Manu Dibango, Ron Carter, Papa Wemba, Wally Badarou, John Scofield, Geri Allen, David Gilmore, Haruko Nara, Bobby McFerrin, Frank Wess, Ray Lema, Craig Harris, James Hurt, Antoine Roney, John William, Mario Canonge, Wallace Roney, Brice Wassy, Oliver NGoma, Exile One, Steve Potts, So Why? (Featuring Youssou NDour, Papa Wemba, Wally Badarou, Jabu Khanyile & Bayete, Lourdes Van-Dunem, and Lucky Dube), Emeline Michel, La Compagnie Creole, among others.
 In 2008, Mr. Sitson was invited by Bobby McFerrin to join him on a PBS documentary ("THE MUSIC INSTINCT: SCIENCE & SONG" featuring Bobby McFerrin, Daniel Levitin, Oliver Sacks, Daniel Barenboim, and Yo-Yo Ma) and to take part in a special project that took place at the Carnegie Hall ("Instant Opera").
A member of Chamber Music America, he is regularly engaged for movie scores and commercials. He made several TV appearances and has composed music for the noted children’s TV show, Dora The Explorer (Nickelodeon).
Since 2006, Mr. Sitson is a Cultural Arts ambassador for the city of Miami (Florida).
Meanwhile, his international career continues apace. He has received "Parents Choice Silver Medal Honor Award" in 2004 and nominations from the WMCE (World Music Chart Europe), the RFI Awards 2000. 
Mr. Sitson performed at the Carnegie Hall with his own group in 2008.
    Aside from musical performances, Gino leads vocal workshops served by his amazing vocal technique, his musical knowledge and his desire to share his love for vocal explorations. Gino has developed workshops for professional as well as non-professional singers, and also for children. A researcher in musicology, his work focuses on music cognition, expressive properties of the voice and the process of transmitting music from the "black" diaspora. Mr Sitson earned a PhD in musicology at the Paris-Sorbonne University. He is a UNICEF CAMEROON Goodwill Ambassador.

"Imagine a combination of Bobby McFerrin, Al Jarreau & Jon Hendricks, toss in african rhythms & the language of Cameroon, and you have a general notion of what to expect from this remarkable vocalist." Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times/Feb 14, 2004.
