Renée Zawawi L-E-G-E-N-D-S is exotic dance-pop and was produced by the Demo Center in New York City. All the songs were written by Renée, and their themes stem from her experiences.

Resurrection Mary, directed by Sean Michael Beyer, is a film about a legendary ghost story about a high school student back in the 1930s. Pamela Jean (aka Pamela Noble), who plays opposite Kevin G. Schmidt, plays the character Mary. At just 18 years old, she made her on-screen debut in the movie’s title role. She has appeared in the short film Social Theory Revised, and has appeared in numerous music videos and commercials. Pamela’s role in this feature film certainly dictates that she has a promising career as a leading lady.

Gina Villalobos has performed on countless stages throughout the world. Her songs appear simple, but don’t let that fool you. There are far-reaching meanings hidden behind her lyrics. Her voice borders on tough, yet tender, at times. And after a few listens, you can’t help but read between the lines. As a live performer, she is a treat—there is a polished difference between her actual recordings, but that is all. I appreciate a good raw live performance, and I appreciate a well engineered recording. Gina delivers both with her arsenal of CDs: Tiles Away, Rock ‘n’ Roll Pony, Beg From Me, etc..

Interview with Justin Jouvenal – Communications Director

Most independent artists struggle with getting exposure like radio airplay, mass distrrbution, etc. And unless they are signed to a big label, rarely do the masses hear about them at all. Sure, with MySpace and CD Baby and the plethora of digital distributors like iTUNES, the playing field hasn’t capsized, and these musicians do have their small fan base. But will the playing field for Indie artists ever rival that of the signed artist on a major label? Will the Madonnas and Beyonces of the independent world ever reach the fame they so justly deserve?

Slide guitars, consistent drum beats, raw emotions. These three elements encompass Miles Away, Gina Villalobos’ newest release. Gina has a knack for extracting her listener’s emotions with her lyrics in each one of the 10 tracks.

Allah Ali and Kosmic Flight was a pleasure to listen to. How nice to hear some damn good folk music and guitar. This man has a voice, similar in type to Elvis, but softer and with a strong vibrato that works well with his expert acoustic sound.

Ben Johnson, a classically trained artist, is someone who seems to really be suffering for his art. On the cover of his debut CD, he appears to have a self-inflicted wound—a self-styled tattoo spelling out the word “Wait.” You will not want to wait to hear his self-titled CD, Ben Johnson.
