Jeff Fowler is a Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter whose intelligent, piano-driven, songwriting has been compared to the likes of Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Barry Gibb, and Paul McCartney. Jeff Fowler's first solo release, Side Hey! (Get It! Records, LLC), is one of two recording collaborations with producer/multi-instrumentalist Wes Styles (supporting keyboardist for Coheed and Cambria) and prodigious drummer Eli Hludzik (Dakota, Check in the Dark). Legendary engineer, Bernie Grundman (Thriller, Purple Rain, and many others), mastered the album.
Side Hey! has achieved noteworthy international popularity thanks to its lead-off single, “Mr. Mason Man” – a universally enjoyable love song that one might have expected Frank Sinatra to sing at the Sands Hotel in the 1960s. Drummer Eli Hludzik’s interesting take on the “Mr. Mason Man” rhythm anchors it with a relevant, almost urban feel. Deeper tracks, including the pop ballad “Gone” and jumpier “Breathe,” are classic in concept and demonstrate the true virtuosity of Jeff's band, particularly Wes Styles’ expert guitar-playing. Even deeper tracks, “Stay Awake” and “So Far” turn into guitar-heavy rock tunes that suggest an influence of Genesis and Led Zeppelin. Side Hey! concludes with a sweet piano lullaby, “Here with Me," which showcase's Jeff Fowler's distinctively velvet baritone voice. But perhaps the most pleasurable track on Side Hey! is the bonus live version of “Breathe,” which is an energetic recording of the band playing to a packed house at a well-known LA venue.
Albert Joseph Brown III (born June 4, 1968), known professionally as Al B. Sure!, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, radio host and former record executive. He was born in Boston and raised in Mount Vernon, New York. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Brown was one of new jack swing's most popular romantic singers, songwriters and record producers.
Brown is the son of Albert Joseph Brown II, a nuclear medical technician, and Cassandra Brown, an accountant. Brown was a star football quarterback at Mount Vernon High School in New York, who rejected an athletic scholarship to the University of Iowa to pursue a music career.

On this recording, Brown was one of a quartet with Barry White, El DeBarge, and James Ingram.
Brown's 1988 debut album In Effect Mode sold more than three million copies, topping the BillboardR&Bchart for seven straight weeks. It included the single "Nite and Day," which topped the R&B chart and reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Off on Your Own (Girl)", which also top the R&B chart. He received numerous Grammy and American Music Award (AMA) nominations, and won an AMA for Best New R&B Artist. He also received several Soul Train Award nominations, and won the award for Best New Artist. Brown also won several New York Music Awards.

As a writer and producer, Brown introduced to the music industry such multi-platinum acts as Jodeci and teen R&B performer Tevin Campbell (who was also one of Prince's and Quincy Jones' former protégés), as well as Faith Evans, Dave Hollister, Case and Usher.
In 2009, Brown signed with Hidden Beach Recordings. His first single for the label, "I Love It (Papi Aye, Aye, Aye)," entered the Radio & Records Urban AC chart at No. 33. The album Honey, I'm Home was released on June 23, 2009
In 2000, Brown's ABS Entertainment launched a television development division, and he served as co-executive producer of an HBO Comedy Special starring Jamie Foxx, filmed at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. Then, Brown teamed with the ABC Radio Network to produce and host a romantically themed nighttime music program, The Secret Garden, featuring a blend of music and celebrity guests.
Brown participated in Bless the Children Foundation's celebrity auction along with NFL stars Charles Woodson and Anthony Dorsett. He was presented with the key to the city of Oakland by city council member Laurence E. Reid in recognition of the participation of Brown's ABS Ken-Struk-Shen in refurbishing parts of the city. Reid proclaimed October 19 Al B. Sure! Day. Brown was a DJ on the Los Angeles radio station KHHT, and played old-school hip hop and R&B. He currently hosts a daily morning-radio show on iHeart Radio.
In July 2019, Brown became the new host of Urban One's nationally syndicated evening quiet storm/slow jams program Love and R&B, replacing the previous host, John Monds.

KOMODO is a producer trio from the Polish Lesser Poland province. They became widely popular thanks to their first club interpretation of a very well-know song by Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. Their remake of “Blue Suede Shoes” has had over 1 million views on Youtube. The real revolution though started when they premiered “(I Just) Died In Your Arms”. This cult hit of the British band Cutting Crew in a new dance version created by Komodo was undeniably one of the greatest hits of 2018.

I will tell you that Sweet Mikey C is not my real name. As if you couldn't figure that out by yourself. Because Tom Petty's guitar player, Mike Campbell, and I have the same name, I decided to use Sweet Mikey C.
My family moved from Phoenix to Odessa, Texas in November, 1956, the middle of my third grade year. We pulled into Furr's Supermarket, which had a small room for kids that featured a TV. The Teen Kings were on. Their singer was a young cat named Roy Orbison. If my memory serves me correctly, the show was called the Hub Jamboree, sponsored by Pioneer Furniture, and it was Saturday. If it does not serve me correctly, I'm sure someone from West Texas will let me know. But, heck, boys, I was only in the third grade.
Before leaving Phoenix, I was already hooked on Elvis. And that's Scotty Moore's fault. The sound of his guitar and how he played it were very addicting to a youngster. Then came Buddy Holly. Another early influence was Dean Martin. In those days I wanted to look like Elvis, sound like Roy Orbison, and be as cool as Dean Martin. Still do. Oh, well.
Years later I wanted to make a record with those early sounds, mixed in with some oldies and some original tunes. And then drummer Shannon Ford introduced me to Danny Gatton. I had never heard of Danny, but while listening to a live recording of their band, I knew he was the one I wanted to play on this record.
First To Eleven are an American band made up of Audra Miller, Matt Yost, Ryan Krysiak, and Sam Gilman whose YouTube channel sees them play covers of existing songs. The band formed in 2009 under the name M4 when Ryan Krysiak, who was working as a guitar teacher, suggested a small group of his students who attended the same school form a band - even though, at the time, the members of the band's ages ranged from between eight and ten years old, and they didn't have a vocalist. A few years later, in 2015, the band were playing live at a gig where Audra Miller (born: July 11, 2001 [age 20]), who was just fourteen at the time, happened to be in attendance and afterwards she approached the band to ask if she could join the Rock School program, and as fate would have it the initial vocalist left soon afterwards and Audra was drafted in as the band's new vocalist. Once the lineup was finalised, the band headed to the studio, realising their first EP Out Of Time in 2016, with guitarist Ryan also taking charge of filming and editing the videos which were uploaded to the band's YouTube channel.
