Julian will be singing, dancing, drumming, and touring with members, Joe Billingslea, Charles Davis, Al Chisholm, Gary Grier and Odell Jones.

Julian, as a full-fledged group member, will get all the perks including adoring fans, a wardrobe and goodies backstage.  His dad, Bernadino Pavone, says Julian's only requests before shows are "chocolate milk and his very own product, Go-Baby Fruit Bars™".

Julian's talent was introduced to the world when he was offered a contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers' drum line at 15 months old.  At 20 months old, Julian recorded his first CD, "Go Baby!" with legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong.  He is no stranger to the spotlight, having appeared on more than 100 television and news shows including "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "Good Morning America", "Martha Stewart", "Inside Edition", "Japan TV", "The Maury Show", "FOX News Dayside", "MSNBC", "WGN", and starred in a Korean Documentary.

He plays a 22-piece custom drum set with 17 cymbals and has received worldwide media coverage with more than 9000 newspaper and magazine articles written about him.  He has also inspired a clothing line, a series of children's books, and the formation of Harmonie Network®, a national entertainment company.  He was featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not," was honored at the Hard Rock Cleveland with the "The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award", and at age 4, received a patent for Abracadabra® Stain Cover-up, also making him "The World's Youngest Inventor"®.

More recently, WonderWorld Entertainment, producers of multi-award winning children's television, signed Julian to star in and co-host 26 episodes of the show "All You Need is Music".  He will travel to major U.S. cities on a quest to find out about the birth and evolution of various types of music throughout the country.  He continues to work on a sophomore CD with four-time Grammy Award winning producer, Michael J. Powell and attends University Liggett School (Class of 2022).

The Contours with Joe Billingslea are currently preparing for their U.S. tour which kicks off in Vegas this April.  Julian is rehearsing daily and cannot wait to join the legendary group on stage in the fabulous city.

...and no better time to amplify the need for this theme but to let Reggae man Ziggy Marley put the emphasis in it. Big track "Family Time" is all over The Youth Spot this week. The video not only says it all, but you can feel it too!  And we hear that the Marley family came up big at The Grammys 2010!!! Thats' RIGHT!

        

The Hip-Hop Project | DVD

 

To successfully graduate from a four-year college is an accomplishment in itself.  Now imagine spending four years in a very unorthodox, but progressive institution of hard knocks.  This school is known as The Hip-Hop Project, the brainchild of Christopher ‘Kazi’ Rolle, who was orphaned during his childhood in the Bahamas.  Kazi, who moved to New York to find his mother who abandoned him while he was a toddler, could have folded up the tent and continued venting his anger in a negative fashion.  Yet his vision of encouraging a group of promising hip-hop artists to channel their anger into positive results reveals a musical pot of gold, which is the DVD entitled The Hip-Hop Project. 

 

Besides Kazi’s dedication to the students, there were other major players in making this educational experience possible, including executive producer Bruce Willis and music executive Russell Simmons who donated a recording studio for HHP; and the film’s co-producer/directors Scott Rosenberg & Matt Ruskin.  Rosenberg, the founder of Art Start, was a big factor in getting Kazi’s future off the ground and off the streets of New York.  Kazi initiated HHP, an umbrella under Art Start, by pounding the streets he once roamed in advertising for his future recording venture.  The ultimate twist was finding the right talent who could fore go the gangster rap mentality that is more attractive with the mainstream audience and turn their life stories into life lessons to share with their fellow youth.  Once the students were picked, the transformation of Princess, Cannon & Verse from diamonds in the rough to top-notch hip-hop storytellers begins.  

 

Within this eighty-five minute DVD first released in 2007 and re-released January 5th, these aspiring students’ journeys are balanced with Kazi’s growth as a mentor and sorting out feelings as he tries to reconcile with his mother.  The audience also gets to witness their various tribulations which inspired their raps and the irrapport with Kazi through developmental meetings and working in the studio.  Watching how these rappers develop their craft and confidence are the defining moments on HHP.   Even though Kazi is certainly a key figure that makes HHP tick, there is a bit too much emphasis on his personal life, especially towards the end as he announces his solo career.  And occasionally a few of the scenes are drawn out which affect the film’s sharp pacing.  Otherwise, The Hip-Hop Project spins a wonderful tale of hope and how the power of hip-hop can be used as a creative teaching tool.

Sparks’ pendant will be available for one week only.

Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2010 --(PR.com)--Singer and American Idol alum Jordin Sparks’ original sketch will be featured on a limited edition Pennyroyal Signature Collection pendant that will help fund mobile medical clinics in Haiti through Sparks Charities, an organization that aims to encourage young people to make a positive impact in their families, communities and world through volunteerism and service.

“I feel very lucky and humbled to be able to take something as simple as a sketch, a piece of silver and the power of music and make a positive impact on people's lives,”Pennyroyal’s owner and designer, Tim Foster said. “It is a pleasure to work with an artist like Jordin who is so committed to making a difference."

The hand crafted sterling silver pendant was created from Sparks’ exact sketch with the words “Suki Desu,” which means “I like,” or more casually, “I love,” in Japanese. Sparks’ signature is on the back along with the phrase, “I’m M.A.D. Are You?”

This limited edition piece will be released for one week only beginning on Feb. 3, in conjunction with the Sparks Superbowl experience, and ending on Feb. 10, after which the pendant will be officially retired and never sold again. The pendant can be purchased for $125 atwww.pennyroyalsilver.com and will come with a guitar pick, collector’s card featuring the original sketch design, and Sparks’ signature.

"I'm so excited to be working with Pennyroyal Silver on this project!” says Sparks. “I am trying to teach myself Japanese and love the language. I really like this phrase [Suki Desu] and it inspired the drawing. On the back it says "I'm M.A.D., Are You? It’s just my way of encouraging you to do something positive to help someone else.”

Right now, Sparks is M.A.D. about the destruction caused by the massive earthquake that devastated Haiti, one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, so thirty percent of the proceeds will go to Sparks Charities to fund mobile medical clinics in Haiti.

Sparks said, “So technically, by purchasing this pendant you are "M.A.D.!”

About M.A.D.: Jordin and her brother P.J.’s “I’m M.A.D., Are You?” Campaign.M.A.D. stands for “Making A Difference.” The campaign hopes to motivate others to find something they’re passionate about, maybe get a little“mad” about it, and funnel that energy into doing something to help another. Get M.A.D. about litter on the side of the road and donate time to a clean-up program or get M.A.D. about sick children in hospitals and take time to visit the Children’s Center at a nearby hospital. However big or small, we want you to get M.A.D. and make a difference in your community. It’s amazing how wonderful it feels when you know you’ve made a difference in someone’s life. You can become a fan and share your M.A.D. experience on Facebook:www.immadareyou.com/

Angel Taylor Named 'VH1 You Oughta Know' Artist on the Rise

Broadcast Premiere of 'Like You Do' Video This Saturday, January 16

Debut Album Love Travels Named Best Pop Album of 2009 by iTunes

NEW YORK, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Hailed by many as one of the brightest new artists of 2009, Angel Taylor is poised to breakout in 2010.

Love Travels was named iTunes' Best Pop Album of 2009, and now Angel rings in the New Year as the latest 'VH1 You Oughta Know' artist. The network will celebrate Angel's rising star with the broadcast premiere of her first music video, "Like You Do," Saturday, January 16, on "VH1 Top 20 Countdown." She will perform on the network's series "Tough Love" Sunday, January 17, and the video will enter VH1 rotation beginning Monday, January 18. 

Additionally, YouOughtaKnow.VH1.com is home to the video for "Like You Do" as well as exclusive interview clips and photos. Angel will also be performing on the VH1 Best Cruise Ever that sets sail from Tampa to Grand Cayman April 15-19, 2010.  

Billboard magazine hailed "Like You Do" for its "breezy, sentimental pop" and the "sassier tone" of lyrics that are "striking in their assertion of conflicted desire," while the Associated Press called the album "one of the top debuts of the year."  As a "VH1 You Oughta Know" Artist on the Rise, Taylor joins the esteemed ranks of Amy Winehouse, The Fray and label-mate Adele.

Angel spent most of 2009 on the road in support of Love Travels - opening for the likes of Adele, Brett Dennen, Kate Voegele, Brandi Carlile and Five For Fighting - and resumes touring this month with a series of promotional performances, in-store appearances and college campus visits. Visit her website - www.angeltayloronline.com - for details.

She made her television debut October 17, 2009 when she performed "Like You Do" on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", and her music has been featured on prime time television hits like "One Tree Hill" and "90210."

Love Travels was released in September 2009, and first single "Make Me Believe" has already been downloaded more than a half-million times. "Fresh and honeydew-sweet...her glowing pop tunes will win over fans of both Corinne Bailey Rae and Colbie Caillat," says People magazine, who gave the album a three-out-of-four stars review.

Billboard got it right when they dubbed the 21-year-old singing/songwriting sensation one of their 15 Artists to Watch in 2009 - and she remains one to watch in 2010, when Love Travels promises to take Angel Taylor to even greater heights.

At just fifteen years of age, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is living the life most teenagers dream of. Bieber began his singing career by posting his own covers of songs by Usher (tickets),Chris Brown, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake(tickets) and Ne-Yo (tickets) on YouTube. R & B star Usher caught wind of Justin's vocals and introduced him to L.A. Reid of Island Records; the record exec immediately signed him.

Bieber, who has completely avoided the Disney (tickets) machine that made pop stars like Miley Cyrus(tickets), Demi Lovato(tickets) Britney Spears(tickets) famous, is quickly rising to the top on Canadian and US music charts. On Bieber's potential, Usher told Rolling Stone Magazine, "He had all of the nuances of a classic artist, very cute, for all the young girls, gotta have that. He had swagger. And most importantly, he had talent." and...

Before releasing his debut album "My World" in November 2009, Justin Bieber appeared on the Ellen Show, Good Morning America and the MTV VMAs. His first single "One Time" reached the top twenty spots on the Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 100 during its first week.

"According to Def Jam this Much Music Newcomer of the Year is the first artist to have all songs from his debut CD chart on the Billboard Hot 100, "stated Alexandra Owens, Media Relations, Ticket Liquidator. "Like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber is quickly becoming teen America's favorite mainstream artist."

He has shared the stage with Rihanna, John Mayer(tickets) and, to the dismay of fans around the globe, broke his foot during a performance with top country star Taylor Swift(tickets) this past November in London. Justin Bieber has performed for top blogger Perez Hilton and US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama whose daughters are reportedly fond of the teen's music.

Justin Bieber will round up his string of concerts in late March at the Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, IL. As America's newest young heartthrob and constant trending topic on Twitter -- Justin Bieber tickets are the Ticket Liquidator ticket of the week. Keep checking Ticket Liquidator for more Justin Biebertickets as he adds new dates to his upcoming tour.

                                                                      Alexandra Bachelier

 

Debut Single “All Night” From Former American Idol Contestant Set for Release February 2010 via iTunes with Album To Hit Music Market Place in  April; Label Also to Release R&B/Pop Singer CAMILLE with Music Product in 2nd Quarter 

 

New York, NY January 7, 2010---The Miami-based DMS ENTERTAINMENT recently signed Pop Vocal Diva and former American Idol Contestant, ALEXANDRA BACHELIER  to an exclusive recording agreement with plans to release her debut single (via i Tunes) and music video “All Night” in February 2010. An alumni of WB’s Reality Show, POPSTARS 1 along with Nicole Scherzinger, former lead singer with THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS and Season one of AMERICAN IDOL (Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini), ALEXANDRA is finally receiving her own ‘big break’ with the release of a debut album ALTER EGO on DMS ENTERTAINMENT in April 2010. 

 

“Alexandra is a true discovery! Her voice is phenomenal. She can easily take her place along side of popular Pop Recording Artists such as Katy Perry, Nicole Scherzinger, Fergie and Pink. I am proud to have her on my roster of music artists for 2010!” says MASE, who serves as Executive Producer on Alexandra’s upcoming album and music video.

 

Born in Miami, Florida, Alexandra has been interested in a singing and dancing since the tender age of 3, beginning with studying Classical Ballet and winning national dance competitions throughout the State of Florida up into her teen years. She also pursued drama, modeling and was involved in Southwest High’s Choir, in which she excelled. At 16, the talented singer knew that music was her destiny. At 18, Alexandra auditioned for WB’s then new reality series, POPSTARS 1, where she beat out thousands of singers from all over the country for a spot in the Final 20. After that wonderful experience, Alexandra worked with a few up and coming music producers, continuing to hone her vocal skills and exposure to the music industry.

 

Then AMERICAN IDOL happened onto Alexandra’s path. The determined young singer auditioned for Season 1 of AMERICAN IDOL, along with Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini. Alexandra impressed the judges with her strong vocal chops and corky personality, making it to the final Top Ten with only 3 open spots. However, America said good-by to Alexandra, opening the door for new and exciting experiences in the music industry.  One of those experiences has been meeting Music Producer, MASE who spotted and believed in her talent and signed the stunning performer to a recording contract to DMS ENTERTAINMENT. The result is the upcoming release of singles, “All Night” and “Atten Hut” and music videos from her forthcoming CD, ALTER EGO

                                 

                                      Camille

 

DMS ENTERTAINMENT is also set to release CAMILLE, an up and coming sexy R&B Vocal Diva this spring. Camille’s first single and music video SUPERMAN LOVER featuring Casely and produced by MASEwill be released March 2010 via iTunes with a forthcoming album to dropearly summer. The Music Video is currently on a list of hot music sitesand will be officially released to Music Video outlets next month.

 

“We are extremely excited about Camille.  She is poised to emerge as one of the unique music discoveries for 2010, says MASE, born in Libreville Gabon, Africa, who now resides in the States and works from his studio in Miami.

 

Born Megan “Camille” Vieira, the precocious young girl began to flex her vocal prowess as soon as she could speak. Camille spent most of her childhood in Georgetown, Guyana, honing her R&B/Pop sound by performing regularly at multiple public venues. Even at the tender age of 13, she showed the depth of her talent as the youngest competitor and finalist in the Guyana-based radio show, In Search of the Stars.

GTC ENTERTAINMENT/MDI DISTRIBUTION SET TO RELEASE DEBUT CD SINGLE, “Back It Up” ON

POPULAR REGGAE/DANCE HALL RECORDING ARTIST-RAYVON

 

Rayvon Set To Make Major Moves With Forthcoming Album in 2010

 

New York, NY December 21, 2009 – What would you do if you have a proven track record of making hits and was loved by millions of fans? You create a new album and start your own music label, right? That’s exactly what Rayvon did this year and the result is “Back It Up” the debut single  set for release for  Tuesday, January, 26, 2010 from the forthcoming album set for release in early spring on GTC ENTERTAINMENT via MDI DISTRIBUTION.This project promises to showcase the creative and distinctive sides oft he talented recording artist who has been SHAGGY’s long-time music partner (and still is!) and was featured on Shaggy’s hit single, “Angel” from the multi-million-selling MCA album, HOT SHOT. 

 

With the growing popularity of singers (RIHANNA) and Hip Hop Recording artists (Sean Kingston) hailing from the islands close by, the Barbados born Rayvon (who later moved to Brooklyn at the age of 12) first hit the music scene running when he and Shaggy linked up with dancehall beat master, Sting, Int’l. He produced “Big Up”, the tune that propelled the duo to a higher level of exposure in the mid- 90’s. “Nice and Lovely”and a few other minor hits followed, allowing Rayvon and Shaggy the opportunity to tour.

 

“At the time, I was working for UPS,” Rayvon remembers. “One day I got an offer to do a 2-week tour and I’d used up all of my sick leave and vacation days. So I took a formal leave of absence from thejob and I still haven’t returned”.

 

Then Shaggy’s remake of the Folkes Brothers’ classic rock steady hit, “Oh Carolina”became an international sensation, catapulting the duo on several rounds of world tours, including the Caribbean, the US, Japan,Australia and Europe. Rayvon also branched out to include solo work.His first solo single, “No Guns No Murder” (produced by Frankie Cutlass and Funkmaster Flex) was a massive summer hit that resulted in a debut album, HEAR MY CRYon Virgin Records. The album received critical acclaim and Rayvon received accolades from both the dancehall and hip hop communities. In addition to Rayvon’s solo career, he and Shaggy kept the world party going with international hits like, “In The Summertime”, which rose to #3 on the U.K. music charts and was featured on Shaggy’s Grammy Award Winning album, BOMBASTIC. A few years later, Rayvon and Shaggy were pushed to “dizzying’ heights with the huge success of “Angel”. The most played record of 2001 saw the ground-breaking duo on every possible television show, ranging from kid’s morning shows to Late Night With David Letterman.  

 

Asa solo artist Rayvon chose to broaden his musical landscape with the addition of hip hop and roots reggae to his already proven smooth Dancehall/R & B sounds on “Back It Up” and the forthcoming (untitled) CD.

 

Angela “Majette” David- President at GTC Entertainment and Laurie Montgomery, President of MDI Distribution are confident that Rayvon’s R&B and Reggae/Hip Hop stylewill appeal to CD buyers and Digital down loaders here in the US and abroad. The music label is now preparing a creative marketing/promotion/internet campaign that will involve street promotion strategies in various markets, as well as an extensive national retail campaign for the album. Rayvon will continue to Tour with Shaggy in 2010, but will appear on television media outlets in various markets and conduct radio, newspaper and internet interviews in support of his new CD. The label is (listen to single by clicking here!)  also gearing up to present a national BACK IT UP CALENDAR GIRL and VIRAL VIDEO CONTEST surrounding the release date of the single with winners announced on the release date of the full CD (MORE DETAILS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON)
