Featured Artist: Akiko Kiyama

Akiko Kiyama

Akiko was born in Tokyo,JAPAN, 1982. She has been surrounded by classical music education since she was a young girl. At the age of 14, she was absorbed in Drum'N'Bass that was occurring in London at the time, and it was then that she made a commitment to club music, to pursue and evolve with the ever changing sound of techno.

She started to create her own tracks with a laptop since 2002 and has been performing at many of the clubs in Tokyo with artists locally and from abroad.

Lotus

Born and raised in Connecticut, having a focused interest in music of many genres,the time would come to create my own. When I was about 9 years old,I acquired a taste for turntablism. By the age of 15, I had my first set of Numarks.

Mixing and scratching had my attention for a while but I felt there was something more. For me, instrumentals was the key.I would throw on a beat and freestyle a few lyrics here and there but was never that serious about it.

The Phubus

Phubus are serious about what they do and how they create a music fusion. They are not interested in being the average band but want to take things as far as they can go. We now witness both growth and depth to the exciting new direction that they take.

XFM radio have showcased the first single 'It's not my Fault' and the band have been getting interview offers up and down the Country between touring. As well as the Uk Phubus are getting noticed in Europe and achieving the interest of America.

Plunky & Oneness

Saxophonist Plunky Branch is an experienced performer, songwriter and music and film producer, and he is president of N.A.M.E. Brand Records, through which he has released 25 albums. At one time Plunky was a studio musician for television's top-rated sitcom, "The Cosby Show. His song “Every Way But Loose” was a top-ten soul music chart hit in London in the 1980’s. He has appeared on avant-garde jazz albums by Pharaoh Sanders, Hamiett Bluiett and others. Nowadays Plunky spends his time leading his bandmates onstage playing rousing funk, R&B, jazz, African, reggae, gospel and rap and making music in his recording studio.

John Griffin

John Griffin, a native of Madison, NC, has been performing in the southeast for years and finally decided to pursue his dream of songwriting and moved to Nashville, TN.

The dream is paying off for John one day at a time. His debut cd, No One Wants to be
Lonely, yielded a #1 hit song on Mp3.com’s acoustic pop/rock charts and continues to garner great reviews in the independent music community.

The Stuff

Let's get this out of the way up front: the members of Swedish garage rockers the Stuff conceal their identities behind giant rubber rat heads. (They claim to have met in the European sewer system.)

Beyond that, however, the Stuff play a brand of drop-dead cool, hooky garage rock/punk that belies their whimsical attitude toward identity. You can hear a lot of Fun House-era Stooges here, but the Stuff ply their craft with a little more laid-back insouciance than those godfathers of the genre; the lead singer/bassist (listed simply as "the rat in the leather jacket") often drops epithets like he's too cool to care, more Damon Albarn than Iggy Pop.

3 Kisses

The magnetic, energetic Austin, TX-based alternative-pop band 3 KISSES played over 75 shows their first year out and show no signs of slowing down. They have rapidly progressed to playing big events such as the Motive Bison Stampede Half Marathon to benefit the Leukemia Lymhoma Society and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure where the band performed for over 19,000 race participants.

Eddie Benitez

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and soon after his birth his family relocated to Europe. Born a military brat Eddie would meet a friend of his father in Spain that would change his life at the age of seven. His Father “Paco” would introduce Eddie to Andres Segovia the father of Classical Guitar. Eddie soon received guitar lessons from Andres Segovia.

At the age of 10, Eddie and his Family would move to Brooklyn, New York. In the cool summer nights of New York City you could hear Salsa music coming from the apartments, stores and local clubs. The sounds of the Lebron brothers, Tito Puente, Joe Cuba and many other Artists would fill the airwaves. Eddie would often change the radio station from Latin to top 40.

Dr. Slide

Dr. Slide was born in Potsdam, East Germany in 1963. As a young teenager he began playing in local blues bands. As his following grew so did his consciousness. As a result of some political statements made during an appearance, Dr. Slide was banned from public performance in East Germany. But his music could not be silenced.

At the age of 21 he jumped the wall, leaving family and friends behind to start a new life in West Germany.

Before long Dr. Slide was a fixture in the local blues scene, heading the house band at Berlin's premier blues club, The Blues Cafe. There he shared the stage with many legendary bluesmen. His band opened European shows for Bo Diddley and he was a guest player in Luther Allison's European band.
