For designer Emily Daccarett fashion and music can not be separated. Daccarett creates an immersive world of storytelling through music, film, and fashion. Each artistic direction begins with a beat that forms a story. From the start of her brand, she has fused those worlds, creating a symbiotic flow between the two. She uses textiles, shapes, and sound as her tools for world-building, and gives her audience the chance to step into those stories to experience them for themselves. She graduated from Instituto Marangoni in Paris and the prestigious Ecole De La Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, where she trained in the French technique of draping and pattern making. Soon after graduated from the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. She made her runway debut with Concept Shows during LA Fashion Week. Now she is pushing the boundaries of her imagination through synth-pop. Think of Blondie and David Lynch having a baby in 2021 and that's the direction her music takes.-- Fashion Designer and Creative Director of Emily Daccarettwww.emilydaccarett.com

We were born on the River and travelled the highways and byways of our country. This recording is “live” and wabi sabi in the truest tradition. It is rough and raw, played with passion and precision, performed hundreds of times in front of thousands of music lovers. The music presented here is a homage to the originators, the creators of our greatest American art form. At the time of this recording the Discos were closing and the “hair bands”, the punk bands, and the countless cover bands were dominating the live music scene. Although these groups were adding to the musical progression of popular music, they were not connected to the legacy or our musical traditions. To connect to that tradition we had to revive the songs and styles that built our popular music; music created by the struggle of the black and minority communities. Nothing less than the heart and soul of our musical heritage was our goal. From the earliest field hollers to the most sophisticated styles of jazz, we sought to give our audiences the gifts of our great American heritage… So come with us, inside a packed venue, to experience the Show, the Sound, the Joy of an American musical feast…~ Scott Parker, 2020https://www.thenobsmusic.com/

Cam AnthonyTeam BlakeHometown: Philadelphia, PAResident: Los Angeles, CACam grew up in North Philadelphia and turned to music as an escape from the violence and crime he faced in the city. He learned at an early age how to control his voice and honed his skills in the church choir. At 11, Cam's life changed forever after a video of him singing a Bruno Mars song went viral. Cam was later invited to open for Patti LaBelle, perform on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and even perform at the White House for the annual Easter Egg Roll. At 12, Cam was signed by Dr. Dre. and spent the rest of his teen years recording and performing. His contract ended recently, but Cam is ready to take full control of his artistry and continue making a name for himself on "The Voice" stage.Song: "10,000 Hours," by Dan + Shay and Justin BieberPerformance: https://youtu.be/JFumzRool20About the ShowThe four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" celebrates its 10th anniversary with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season, which returns on March 1. Pop music sensation Nick Jonas reclaims his red chair alongside superstar Coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton as they return for Season 20. Carson Daly returns as host. The show's innovative format features four stages of competition: the first begins with the Blind Auditions, then the Battle Rounds, Knockouts and, finally, the Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, that coach pushes a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artists to choose which coach they want to work with. If no coach pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. Also returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of excitement during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names. The block button prevents a coach from adding a new artist to their team. The coaches can only use their block buttons on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. When a coach hits the block button with the name of one of the other three coaches, the coach who hit it automatically turns around. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button. The blocked coach's chair will still turn, but instead of their lane lighting up with their name, it says "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition. Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success, along with help from their celebrity advisors. The coaches enlist music industry heavyweights to prepare their artists for the Battle Rounds. This season's Battle Advisors include international chart-topping Grammy-winning artist Luis Fonsi (Team Kelly), Multi-hyphenated Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning actor and musician Darren Criss (Team Nick), Grammy-winning R&B singer and icon Brandy (Team Legend) and Grammy-winning country music duo Dan + Shay (Team Blake). During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a virtual audience. They are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to...

The world can be a very dull place if you let the status quo remain. Ingomma’s founder, CEO, and Creative Director Melina Salomon is a multidisciplinary Industrial Designer who learned the design trade in Brazil. Melina saw that the imagination and appetite for different ideas were flat. People were making safe choices and taking conventional paths. Like a true innovator, she tried her first invention on herself, designing and wearing accessories made from rubber but using a new fabrication technique. A Kickstarter campaign followed, where she found 300 other like-minded people who subscribed to her campaign and bought her accessories. This was early validation that this new material could become a business. In 2015, she filed a provisional patent introducing Ingomma technology and materials to serve a new B2B market of consumer product designers. She is driven by the opportunity of the new method she has patented and collaborations she can offer to her peers in the fashion trade. Melina’s role in leading the company is both practical in terms of business strategy, product development and execution, and thought leadership.Contact Info: mtsalomon@yahoo.com.br

It was recorded at Tonic Studios with Engineer Doug Kasper, Producer Bryan Cole and Musician/Artist Adam Ernst. Excited about this new album, Gary invited MTS Male Vocalist Matt Westin and Female Vocalist Savannah Nider to help out on a few songs. Savannah and Gary recorded the duet he wrote, "To Find Us", at Omni Studios in Nashville. It was the first time Gary and Savannah actually met and they are now making plans to write together in the future. Gary is forever thankful to God for walking with him through life, paving this music journey and for putting the gift of music in his heart.

( Lorne Behrman) Greg Hoy is many things. He’s a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, a recording producer, a recording engineer, something of a marketing guru, a jingle and sound composer and producer, a 'people engineer' in the tech world, an art director, and a label owner. But when you boil it all down — he’s really just a guy in a band. “Music is in everything I do. Helping companies hiring people is just like putting a band together. I’ve been fortunate that both sides of my brain work in tandem,” the California-based artist says with a good-natured laugh. With his 2020 tour cancelled due to... well, you know what, Greg managed to coax East Bay, California's Tiny Telephone studio owner John Vanderslice into letting he and his band social distance to make 'Cacophony' - an 11 song cycle now out on gold vinyl - written and recorded in just two weeks. The lyrically output was heavy: birth, death, pandemics, and fires. But that fast and furious creative drive is what propels him to create. When you do more, you do more. So, maybe, it’s the collective inertia of all his projects that propels Greg’s prolific output? Somehow, between wearing so many hats — including tirelessly touring the nation in a vintage Airstream on the Limited Mileage tour throughout 2019 — he made time to write and a record a refreshingly eclectic, 22-song double-vinyl self-tiled concept album released as the self-titled Greg Hoy & The Boys. His last 2019 release, Enjoy the View, was recorded mostly live by audio legend Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey) in Chicago & mixed in Oregon by the equally amazing Sylvia Massy (Tool, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, the band pushed the limits as a meaty 3 piece. The result is an immediately hooky slab of caffeinated, propulsive, plug-in-and-play rock n roll. To date, the restless creative has issued over 30 albums under various monikers, including The Royal Panics, Greg Hoy (“no boys” for intimate releases), Greg Hoy & The Boys, and Twice As Bright. Mostly these days, he fires up Greg Hoy & The Boys, a loose collective of friends and trusted musicians that includes boys and girls. Greg’s vibrantly diverse output harkens back to the bedroom 4-track visionary aesthetic of 1990s indie-rock, as epitomized by Guided By Voices and its fearless leader Bob Pollard. When you distill it all down, Greg plays retro rock n’ roll meticulously crafted from the timeless essentials of infectious melodies paired with undeniable grooves. Yet, within this focused path, Greg issues diverse albums aligned in spirit with such singular artists as Jack White, Dave Grohl, Neil Young, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cake, The Jam, The Who, The Beatles... “All the ‘the something’ bands,” Greg playfully adds. Throughout his wildly fishtailing career, Greg has worked with Glenn Branca, J. Robbins, Steve Albini, and drummer Steve Sutherland, late of Grant Hart's Nova Mob, among others. Greg’s songs have been featured on network television shows such as One Tree Hill and MTV's Made. Select live highlights in Greg’s career include performances at Noise Pop, SXSW, CMJ, and on the main stage at Latitude Festival in the UK. When off stage or not recording as an artist, Greg runs the record label, 30 Peak, and does production / soundtrack work. In this latter context, his music and sound design has been featured in Pinterest brand videos, American Express commercials, and as game effects for the software platform Adobe. Outside of the world of sonics, Greg works as a “people engineer” in tech, and he’s known for having hired & built the first creative teams for Facebook, Pinterest, and Lyft. Greg’s story in music begins at the age of 5 with the big bang of hearing Led Zeppelin’s 'Whole Lotta Love' on headphones with his big brother. “I was immediately drawn to the richness of the...

Jenaia has been a NBA fan ever since she can remember. She loved basketball so much that she thought she was going to be the first woman in the NBA. She is from the Chicagoland area (Joliet, IL) and grew up during the Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen era with the Chicago Bulls. She was more of a Pippen girl! Then Jenaia became fascinated with Shaquille O’Neil. She had his action figure, plaques of him in her room and Orlando Magic sheets. She felt he was just such a dominate player shattering backboards and tearing down rims. So when Shaq went to Los Angeles Lakers so did Jenaia. She is a Lakers fan through and through. She even lived in LA in 2010 and that is when she went to a Los Angeles Dodgers game and saw some women her age rocking LA Dodgers baseball hats; NEW ERA® 59FIFTY®. She thought to herself, “Bet, I can rock a baseball hat and look cute too.” She shortly moved back to the Chicagoland area for a new job and the first two NEW ERA® 59FIFTY® baseball hats she purchased from Lids were LA Dodgers and Chicago White Sox. She grew up going to Chicago White Sox games with her mom. If you are from the Chicagoland area you know you have to pick a side lol! Northside – Chicago Cubs; Southside – Chicago White Sox!!! You already know what it is…..White Sox, everyday, all day! This is the one Chicago team Jenaia is truly loyal to! Jenaia is such a huge sports fan she got married at U.S. Cellular Field at home plate. From there she knew she wanted to work in sports but was not sure how. Three weeks after getting married she moved to Texas and soon after moved to San Antonio. She ended up volunteering at the UTSA football games in the press box as a Media Communications Runner. That opportunity lead volunteering in a few UTSA men’s basketball games to the Alamo Bowl to Men’s NCAA Final Four that was hosted in San Antonio. Then came her position as the Media Credential Will-Call Coordinator for the San Antonio Commanders. She also participated in a contest called Rock The Mic ESPN San Antonio was first runner up out of one hundred men. She was the only woman. Leaving that competition she received a text message from a friend telling her that there was a spot open for a Media Communications Runner with the Houston Texans. She immediately interviewed for the job and landed it. She still currently works for the team, but took the season off due to Covid. Jenaia also worked for the San Antonio Spurs as a 50/50 Raffle Representative and last, but not least she interned at Sports2Nite; a San Antonio sports TV show.
