Pam Scheller


She is from southern California.
She is a fiery female singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist.
Her titillating style will kick you in the ass as quickly as it will pull on your heartstrings.
Her rockin' style naturally blends the influence of Pat Benetar with the contemporary country sounds of Shania Twain, Martina McBride and Faith Hill.
Her "against the grain" attitude allows her to sing about the things many women think about, but few say aloud.
Her name is Pam Scheller and she was born into a family of musicians, grew up singing in church and spent many years learning classical piano. It was in college that Pam made the decision to pursue a career in music as a performer. She has since surrounded herself with great musicians of different musical backgrounds to create a rockin' live band that just might be the next big thing in music.

Ramoth Gilead (the really bad)


Originally from Dallas, Ramoth Gilead (the really bad) [pronounced: Ray-Moth (the insect), Gil-Lee-Add (opposite of subtract)] is an East Texas native raised in a small community around his kinfolk.
Like most Texans, he is proud of his heritage, and like many southerners he is proud to be country. Ramoth Gilead was brought up listening to his father's 60s/70s selection of soul music, and his mother's favorite gospel records of the 80s. A lot of these early influences are prevalent in his own music and lyrics. At the moment, Ramoth Gilead travels and performs independently as a solo artist in and around major cities of the United States. Keep your eyes peeled and ears by the grapevine to find out if he will be near you.

Trezay


Trezay began rhyming at the age of 13, nurtured his skills throughout high school and hooked up with producer Big Shawn through their high-school love for breakdancing, music and skateboarding. Sitting in Philip's Barber Shop at 13 and 14, the place where it all originated, the guys had a dream, something they wanted to make happen for them, the one thing that they both loved....... music. The vision of an album was there, but how long would it take? A little patience, perseverance, respect and love for the music. You see, back in those days they didn't have a market to make music for. "We had like 50 Hip Hop heads on the island so we didn't have a reason o make albums. We just used to cypher perform for our few fans and battle all day everyday. But now people are realy into hip hop and they buy the music like crazy now." Trezay is not an average hip-hop artist. In fact, this young man has been in the entertainment arena for most his life. With elements of hip-hop such as breakdancing, rhyming and graffiti-writing making up his demeanor, he is not only creating a stir on the airwaves in Barbados, but will soon hope to do so around the Caribbean and the Americas. Trezays fusion resume is by far one of the most impressive on the island. He has worked with some of the hottest producers and artist over the years. He has released his own soca album entitled Trezay-ChipHop. A mixture of caribbean rhythms and hip hop. Not only is this young man a writer, he is also a producer. Doing the co-producer role for the last few records, he figured it was time to take it into his own hands.
When it comes to music Trezay is an engaged and close listener. The things that move him in a song are often the small or subtle elements that others don't pay attention to. He extends these listening skills to his many friendships, always careful to hear what people are communicating both what's said as well as what's not being said. While he's not one to proactively tell people about all of the music on his personal playlist, he is often sought out as a trusted resource for opinions and advice on different albums or artists. He likes being surrounded by artistic people, and when asked, he's comfortable introducing them to the music he's into, opening their ears to what they may not have heard before.

Jermaine Rand


"Rand is a creative genius at work...The sound is impressively rich and spacious throughout, a record that immerses itself in the waters of evident command in production technique in the studio. Highly melodic and rich in musical detail, Rand has proven to have put much thought in what turns out to be a highly introspective recording."
-------Shawn M. Haney (Performer Magazine)

Tasteful and impressive guitar playing as well as considerable acoustic guitar skills.
-------Mike Varney (Guitar Player Magazine)

"Jermaine Rand's music could be used as the definition of what I call SoulRock. Rand's excellent guitar work and funky riffs mesh with a rock attitude. The result is a soulful rock cornucopia."
-------Christopher Van Loan (Music Dish)

"Ranging from raucous to reflective, guitarist/songwriter RAND has a style that could be described as heavy soul. RAND's work with acts as disparate Dionne Farris and Public Enemy (Confrontation Camp) comes through on his self-titled solo debut."
-------Hutchinson (Creative Loafing)
