test kids is the music baby of Peter Byrne and Duncan Booth, long time friends and musicians from Windsor, Ontario now based in Victoria. Percolating from truly diverse inspirations, their songs brew up a gluey blend of classic vocal harmony and tight tasteful arrangements. 

What started as an acoustic duo is now bubbling over the edge with banjo, glockenspiel, tiny synthesizers, children’s accordion, stomping tambourines, and most recently drummer Jay Devries and bassist Barton Patrick. 

It suits the songs well. Woozy yet unfailingly toeing genre borders, they are delivered with a musicality that makes for a one of a kind experience.

ONCE NINA’s debut EP, “Pyramid Heart” (produced by Meghan Toohey) is a bewitching tour de force of alt-mystic-dream-pop in the tradition of Stevie Nicks & Mazzy Star—with PJ Harvey-esque edge. 
The songs are both a call to action & a healing balm to the magic-hungry heart. Nina Kurtz’s emotive vocals act as incantations—powerful, searing & true, bringing key moments into focus with her chill-inducing vibrato. Toohey’s production is tasteful & tender, moving from artfully sparse to pleasurably lush. Shimmering keys & occasional haunting lapsteel cascade over gritty guitar, settling like a spell over a bed of dynamic rhythms.
Lyrically, Kurtz explores topics as timely as technology addiction (“I only get half of your glances baby / one eye is on me / the other’s on your device…”) and as timeless as psychological enslavement (“Can’t take the history off of my face / lineage of pain easy to retrace.”)  
“Pyramid Heart” is a transportive six-song journey of personal revelation & cosmic awakening, brightened by a generous helping of playful whimsy. Cathartic & lovingly crafted, with hooks that call the listener back for more, Kurtz leaves us with an empowering message (“take these bones to the sea / the end of slavery is in me.”) ONCE you start listening, this Pyramid will nest in your heart.

Cool Jakari  born Jakarius T. Neil has always been destined for a life of stardom, since a baby he has had that picture perfect smile, the ones stars are born with. He first graced this earth on June 16, 1992 to a loving mother and father, this family picture ended when he was was about 4 years old, and he now faced the challenges of being in a single parent environment, as he grew he discovered he had a natural knack for rhyming and matching lyrics. By the time he was 12, he began making moves, writing and rapping to lyrics about life, more than ever he now wanted to focus on music and school.
﻿
Many years had passed, since his father was out of the picture. At the age 7 his mother met the man of dreams which became a role model and parent to Jakarius, "life was so good", everything as child could ask for , everything was was perfect, however it was short lived. Crises hit on October 29, 2007. Everything he thought he knew was shattered, his step-father was hauled off to federal prison on alleged drug charges. He felt tainted and remembers this nightmare as it made a very vivid imprint in his mind, it is told in a three part story on his upcoming debut album titled (Spaced Out).
﻿
He was just 15 when this happened and he was now determined more than ever to make success. In the back of his mind he felt as if he had to be the man for his family because both men that were placed there had let him down. This time it was a single parent household with 6 other mouths to feed. He was persistent and didn't stop at no, he  performing in various clubs and entertainment venues across Florida. This sparked a greater sense of creativity. He went from rapping on various beats as a mix tape artist to a premier hip hop recording artist, fully producing and creating his own own beats and composing tasteful lyrical metaphors.
A few years later he was introduced to a strategic management & development group .The Deralch group, a long standing consultation and self development firm started to work with him. His excitement exploded when he became registered with BMI. His favorite thing to say is "Get Right" With his Hit Single Rocket Power Slated to be released late winter 2014, he is ready to bring a new flavor and excitement to the industry. Some of his musical inspirations are , Slick Rick, and Lil Wayne......... These are just a few of many!!!
﻿
Cool Jakari  is that artist that will make you feel like your in a different zone with his Galactic musical compositions  He as ambition  of teaming up with many hip hop recording. He dreams with the belief that every and anything is possible. In addition to his musical talent, he is a  undergraduate film student and renowned Full Sail University. He loves life and now realizes that everything that happened in the past was to make him stronger. He knows that this is the time presented to tell his story.



    If there was one word to describe Lindley, it would be “refreshing”.  Although she could still be considered a newcomer to the EDM DJ circuit, her talents and approach to the art would definitely make one think otherwise.  In an age where it’s become common for a newbie to be playing out as soon as they learn how to turn on their midi-controller, Lindley has made it a point to keep her approach to the art of dj-ing as real as she keeps her approach to life – legit, solid, and tasteful. 
 
After honing her skills for two years under the guidance of well-known Upstate party-rocker DJ Roc-It,  Lindley first took to the stage in the Summer of 2011, where she turned every head in the building with a solid flow of Breakbeats, blended like a pro.   It’s been a steady climb for Lindley ever since, as she’s been rocking crowds on the regular all around Greenville on a monthly basis.  
 
With a style that grabs influence from the Florida Bass sound such as Dj Fixx, Sharaz, and Baby Anne and that is combined with the influence of the Nu sound such as REL1, Refracture, and Elite Force - Lindley’s track selection only complements her top notch mixing.  2012 looks to be a big year for Lindley as she has also recently delved into the world of Drumstep and Dubstep, which is sure to only add another weapon to her already stacked arsenal of tunes.   Get acquainted as Lindley is clearly on a positive journey that all revolves around the one thing that it should – her love for the music.
