<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Performing Along with a Select Live Band in the tradition of a Jazz organ trio; featuring only Keys, Guitar and Drums. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">&#8220;Akshan possesses a sensual distinctive voice, with a hypnotic Jamaican accent that brings soul and flavor to his new album, Island Rocker. The album contains songs that are genre-blending, weaving through Dance, Reggae, Hip Hop and R&amp;B. The album, Island Rocker is bathed in a warm mix of instrumental music and rich vocals. There are songs on the album where the vocals fade into the background and the mixing of the instruments are the dominate force of the song such as, the smooth single Rolling Stone. Last year Akshan gave us a taste of his new album with the hot single Jealous Type, that hit over 10,000 downloads during the first week.&#8221;</span><br />

<strong>Dunson</strong>, a Maryland native, who is also a multi-instrumentalist, took the chance to become a solo artist focusing heavily on lyrics and production, after spending a multitude of years playing in bands of different genres. He has since amassed a receptive, global fan-base, proven through hundreds of thousands of downloads of his self-produced <strong><em>Creative Destruction</em> </strong>mixtape series, among other projects and collaborations.<br />
As Dunson&#8217;s sound developed and evolved, it caught the ear of Grammy-nominated production team, <strong>The Phatboiz,</strong> with whom he developed a collaborative relationship. Dunson&#8217;s genuine talent and tenacity has led to multiple collaborations and cosigns from industry veterans such as 9<strong><sup>th</sup></strong><strong> Wonder, John Legend</strong>, and many others.  Dunson is currently prepping his forthcoming March 2012 mixtape, entitled <strong><em>Dunson: The Investment</em></strong>, which features several guest appearances, including multi-platinum selling artist <strong>John Legend</strong>.  For more information on Dunson please visit: <strong><a href="http://kentondunson.tumblr.com" target="_blank">kentondunson.tumblr.com</a>.</strong></p>

<strong>Bianca Raquel </strong>is a singer, songwriter, producer, performer and musician. As the daughter of world renowned musical director/arranger <strong>Ray Chew</strong>, it&#8217;s clear that the gift of music was passed down a generation. From a very young age, Bianca began writing songs instinctively. It quickly became apparent that Bianca&#8217;s gift was special because when writing songs, she automatically heard background and instrument arrangements along with the lyrics and melody.  At the age of 13, Bianca was the youngest student to attend the <strong>Grammy Foundation&#8217;s First Annual Grammy Camp</strong>. Now a student at <strong>Berklee College of Music</strong>, where she continues to hone her skills, Bianca feels humbled and blessed by the opportunity.<br />
True to her art and to herself, there is depth to Bianca&#8217;s music, with influences ranging from <strong>Stevie Wonder </strong>to <strong>Radiohead</strong>. Tackling reality in her music with wit, passion and sophisticated lyrics beyond her years, the brand and legacy of Bianca Raquel has been born. Her EP <strong><em>Hello, My Name is&#8230; </em></strong>set to be released soon.
