Justin “Sean Auguste”
				
 The world was given Justin “Sean Auguste” on May 5, 1987. Blessed to be a child of the beautiful Gwendolyn M. Harris, lead songstress at New Pilgrim Baptist Church;  music found Sean at a very young age. As a child the sweet songs of artist like Toni Braxton, Tina Marie, and Yolanda Adams filled the air which added fuel to his passion. 

Sean’s Mother and faith played a very important role in his love for music. Aware of his passion and hunger at an early age he sang, wrote songs, played drums and piano for his church and school choir.

As a young man growing up in Inglewood Hip Hop was everywhere. Its transformation of the streets made it impossible for Sean’s Mom to shelter his ears from the hypnotic melodies that captured his heart. Once he stepped off the porch he was engulfed by the heart of Hip Hop.

Being apart of the Hip Hop generation Sean’s world opened up. Hip hop friends, slang, clothes and films. New words and tempos filled his ears painting pictures in his mind that could not be stopped nor tamed; even though it was not allowed at home.

Sean was influenced by so many new and exciting elements both good and bad. He was given tools that caused him to have greater insight, trained ears, place new words to old melodies; relight fire to embers of old talents as well as create new pieces he calls SOUL.

By age 27 Sean Auguste has already completed 5 bodies of soul. Projects that contain music he has produced, wrote, recorded, sang, mastered, engineered, and distributed out of what is now Grateful Studios. An upper room where one can enter and create mystic encounters, answer prayers, and beautiful days.
Coming into his  6th project; Sean has broken new grounds in the sanctuary of his talents. Add that to a man who embodies the work ethic of greats like Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Kanye West, Tupac Shakur, Jay Z, and Stevie Wonder. his countless features and tittle of host on an up and coming radio show proves just how driven and respected Sean and his craft are. 

Justin “Sean Auguste” is a force built of pure knowledge, passion, and raw energy. His work delivers volumizes of pure talent and raw emotion that can not be matched. Sean embeds his soul into all that he creates. After listening to him you can't help but become captured in Hip Hop’s heart as well.

OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.
 
Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Thirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades
include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.
 
Madeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

With endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
 
Madeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through.
“Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar, great things happen.”

The Strypes are 4-piece rhythm and blues band hailing from Cavan, Ireland, formed in 2011 by Ross Farrelly (lead vocals/harmonica), Josh McClorey (lead guitar/vocals), Pete O'Hanlon (bass guitar/harmonica) and Evan Walsh (drums).

The group has spent the past 18 months launching their explosive R&B assault on the clubs and festivals of Ireland, the UK and Europe, viciously hammering out a no-nonsense blues repertoire drawing from the songbooks of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Slim Harpo and more with the passion and venom of British blues groups such as Dr. Feelgood, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. 

Having already been met with critical acclaim from greats such as Jeff Beck and Paul Weller and been tipped by NME as the No. 1 new band to watch, it seems things can only get better for The Strypes.
