BIO: Country pop singer/songwriter/musician Alexes Aiken is a 17 year-old sensation. She has won as many accolades nationally in songwriting contests as singing competitions in Nashville for her original lyrics and melodies and her unique voice and style. Aiken’s awards include Entertainer of the Year (Traditional Country) and Songwriter of the Year (New Country and Inspirational) for the 13-16 year-old category from the Tennessee Country & Gospel Music Association (TCGMA) 2012 Awards. She also won Future Star Award, Female Entertainer of the Year (New Country), and Co-Songwriter of the Year (New Country, Gospel, Holiday and Patriotic) from the North American Country Music Associations, Int’l 2012 Awards for the 13-16 year-old category.  Aiken was born November 18, 1995. In fact, Aiken’s Nashville based producer, Jonell Polansky, is also a triple platinum publisher on Tim McGraw’s Dancehall Doctors CD. Polansky proudly says, “Alexes could rival any Nashville newcomer especially since she is born and raised in New Orleans but sings like she was born on The Opry stage.” She has also sung at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville at the TCGMA and GCGMA Awards Show, and on the main stage at the Nashville Palace.

BIO: Italian musician Ferdinando Arnò is internationally renowned for his poise and poignancy as a producer and composer. He’s penned and produced radio hits for other artists, written and composed some of our most beloved TV jingles, and scored emotionally resonant incidental music for popular television shows. He’s now stepping out as a composer and bandleader with his own group, Common Mama. The sweetly winsome indie pop on the group’s debut, The Dance Is Random (quiet, please!), is already causing a stir with the leadoff single, “A New Kind Of Something,” netting a plum TV placement.

BIO: Singer-songwriter Natalya Phillips cooed on key as a baby. She started performing publicly at age four, and quickly carved out an impressive profile in the entertainment world. She was the youngest actor cast in The Old Globe Theater Company’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas. She’s worked with Prince. She has the noted distinction of singing backup on a track that became the wake up call for the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s final flight. Her debut, Whisper (That Other Label), is a stunning offering of bravely personal soul-folk. The Carlsbad, California-based artist is barely out of high school, but her talents and achievements are already world class.

BIO: Adia is an American neo-soul rock violinist, singer and songwriter. Her music is a reflection of her diverse musical background; a blend of classic and alternative rock infused with blues and soul undertones. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI; Adia enrolled in her first violin lessons when she was just three and a half years old. Her talent was unquestionable throughout her musical studies, which culminated in a Master of Music degree in violin performance from DePaul University in Chicago. When she wasn’t busy practicing the violin, Adia was singing soul, funk and R&B; drawing inspiration from artists like Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder and Erykah Badu. But it wasn’t until 2003 that Adia got a glimpse of the artist she was to become, when she met legendary Croatian blues rock guitarist Nikola Sarapa.
