Raffaele Diomaiuto Trio
http://www.myspace.com/raffaelediomaiuto
¡¡
About me... Well.. I was born and raised in Southern
Italy.. While growing up I watched and listened to some of the
greatest bands of all time such as Guns & Roses, Aerosmith, and a
lot of other great hair bands of the 80's. When I was 16 years old,
my father gave me a classic guitar and I did not even start to use
it until 9 months later.. I was idiotic, thinking that being a
guitar player would make me cooler than everyone else, but what I
came to find out was they actually expected me to play something!
And that was something I did not know how to do at the time..

Gray
http://www.powerpresskits.com/PPKs/index.aspx?PPK=4610&pg=Raised in So. California
I grew up on old rock and old country-thanks to my family. You can hear
a lot of those influences in my music. Although, now my influences have
crossed many genres such as, rock, pop, reggae, country, punk,
alternative, and everything in between! Rooted in music at a young age
by a musically inclined and involved family, music has always been a
calling to me. Like any teen, I used music to cope with the trials of
youth. Now as an adult, not much has changed, as writing and performing
my songs keep me modest and yet still provide the outlet that many
artist search for. Growing up, I listened to my older brother write and
perform, and graciously allowed my mother to teach me my first guitar
chords. I was involved with one of America's first show choirs- The
Young Americans at the age of 15. I learned quite a bit there, how to
work as a team and much more. Soon I landed a spot as the front man in
my first rock band-never looked back! From churches to seedy bars to
Hollywood's most distinguished night clubs, I played. In loosing myself,
I found myself, back to the basics- just me and a six string.
As a solo artist, I have come to appreciate this road sometimes long and
lonely, but still there is always that light at the end of the tunnel.
In the past few years I became involved with a group called Lifestylez
Productions- a ski and snowboarding travel co. that has allowed me to
play for thousands of college students. Also lately, I have been
involved with a great bunch of talented and successful artist called The
Rockers in The Round! Artist such as Jeremy Popoff-LIT, Danny
Walker-Handsome Devil, Steve Soto-Adolescents, Brian Coakley-Cadillac
Tramps and a wide range of guest including American Idol's own Kelly
Pickler. Among other shows I have recently played Dinky Music's- Dinky
Acts of Kindness a show for the Make a Wish Foundation, The Pangea Music
Festival-headliners-Strungout, the KROQ's Halos N Horns Fest featuring Korn,
Shwayze,and Shiny Toy Guns and most recent the Maximum Exposure Showcase
with headliner Sugarcult!.All in all, music to me, is LIFE! Thanks to my
friends and family, I push on through till the next song is written(many
of which are true stories inspired from our lives). I am thankful and
always moving forward! |

Whether it's songs about break-ups, make-outs, shake-ups or four letter

Los Angeles, CA. On stage Arif sings and breaks strings (sometimes his
right hand gets heavy), DeHaven grooves on drums and croons (when the
lights are low and the mood is right), and Matt plays bass so wickedly
even his ex-girlfriend still gets jealous (he's also been known to throw
out zingers in between songs trying out new material for his secret life
in stand-up comedy). |

Last
Day Off
www.myspace.com/lastdayoff
Last
Day Off, a Los Angeles-based band, began in 2007 when Wolf Bradley hit
up his long-time friends , Andrew Macatrao on drums, to sow the seeds of
what was to become Last Day Off. In mid-2009, they added guitar player
Jonathan Barron and Thaddeus Sundin on bass to the band bringing another
dimension to their sound. Their name is indicative of their take on
life—the realization that on your Last Day Off anything is possible, so
live life to its fullest. With a backlog of songs Wolf had been working
on, the band quickly jumped into the garage and began working on the
first incarnation of their sound. They compiled a whole slew of songs
that grabbed the attention of producer Billy Graziadei of Biohazard and
Suicide City fame. ¡°When I first got turned on to Last Day Off, I saw
the raw talent brewing within the band and wanted to help harness and
cultivate what they were only beginning to touch on.¡± Graziadei entered
the rehearsal studio, and they all worked out different ideas within the
songs. When the band was ready, they went to Underground Sound Studios
and turned out an incredible debut EP entitled, ¡°Party of the Century¡±.
Wolf¡¯s strong, smooth vocals are very expressive as he sings heartfelt
and sometimes unexpectedly humorous lyrics to upbeat catchy melodies
with a punk edge, driving beats, and deliciously rich guitars. Wolf
explains, ¡°All the music I have been into has had an effect on me. I was
exposed to everything from Sex Pistols to Pink Floyd.¡± This is reflected
in songs like ¡°To Whom It May Concern,¡± a classic power ballad of first
love in every sense of the word, and ¡°Mrs. Right¡¯s¡± pounding drum intro,
intellectual bass line, with Wolf¡¯s guitar adding a hint of a whisper.
There is just enough texture to pull listeners in and then throw them
into life¡¯s rollercoaster ride from love to rejection. This young group
has already received critical attention from publications like San Pedro
Today Magazine (Leona Christensen): ¡°Last Day Off is a breath of fresh
air in a stale environment¡¦..Undeniable chemistry, melodic, original,
bright and beautiful.¡± Andrew describes Last Day Off in his way¡¦¡±We¡¯re
pretty clean livin¡¯ dudes, no smoking and no drugs¡¦¡± as Thaddeus chimes
in with ¡°but girls are a different story.¡± |

XDAO
http://www.myspace.com/xdaomusic
XDao (Ex-Dao)
is a new identity, a Daoist rock band that's half Chinese and half
American, 1 guy and 3 rocking girls--probably the only group of its
kind in the world. Striving for a sound that's both Eastern and
Western, XDao's music combines philosophical and musical elements in
a modern blend of powerful yet melodic rock and roll. Finally, a
rock sound from China that's both unique in composition and
appealing to Western audience.
Dao, or Tao, in Chinese, means the Way. Daoism,
or Taoism, is China's only native religion/philosophy.
Why XDao? Religions/philosophies have
believers/followers because they establish themselves as the
ultimate truth, the righteous, the only way of life, the only way to
salvation, Heaven or a better next life. Other religions or schools
of thoughts are therefore misguidance or even dangerous heresies.
Yet the first line of Daoist bible—Dao De Jing,
says: ¡°The truth that can be spoken can't be lasting/universal
truth¡± It's like saying: ¡°You can read on, but the Way of life is
beyond words.¡± ¡°What I¡¯m saying is not the truth.¡± ¡°I couldn't tell
you what the ultimate truth is even if there was one.¡± ¡°Don't take
my words for it. You'll find your own Way.¡±
The very first thing Daoism did 2 millennia ago
is Xing itself out as Truth, Guidance or Wisdom. It believes in
everybody reaching his OWN truth through his own experiences. By not
establishing itself, Daoism's existence is in its self-negation.
¡°Identify with me if you will, but don't just
follow what I say.¡± And that's the kind of anti-establishment in
which XDao's music exists.
By embracing the X factor of the Dao, XDao is
still saying things in their music, but does not know anything about
anything, including music. By crossing out the Dao, XDao works hard
to materialize where their streams of consciousness take the music,
but is not the hottest, coolest, sickest or the baddest music out
there.
XDao Knows No Dao!
(XDao's previous identity had played
extensively in Asia and the U.S., including the famous Kodak
Theater. )

Christopher Geno
http://www.facebook.com/christophergenomusic
Christopher Geno: Blazing forward with the impossible
dream of establishing some sort of fan base with only a guitar,
willpower, and a couple demo songs made in a friend's basement.
But how did all of this
begin? Christopher picked up the guitar in 8th grade and has slowly and
painfully been teaching himself since then, because let's be
honest--steady guitar lessons are just plain expensive after a while. He
had been writing before then, and singing before that, and none of it
seemed like much until one day he got the idea to maybe combine all of
those things into one. |

journey into music at age 12. He was the lead singer of the LA based

tell, and if people can relate to these songs and make people feel an
emotion... Well then i've done my job. These aren't just my songs,
they're our songs. It's great when people can identify with the lyrics
and make it to reflect on a time in their life." The live band consists
of Adam on vocals & guitar, Mike Burawski on guitar & dobro, Matt Harris
on bass, and Jorge Barba on drums. Adam's debut album titled "Mr. Blue"

Clark
www.myspace.com/kaiclarkmusicI guess
one might say that music runs in my blood. I remember when I was five we
used to visit some friends of my parents who had a piano and I would sit
and write songs for hours upon hours. They used to have to peel me from
the seat when it was time to leave. I got my first acoustic guitar when
I was about fourteen, and from there on out I was hooked. I started
writing my own song's and joined a band with some other musician's from
my home town that same year. It was so natural to me and I knew that I
would be a musician and a song writer as long as I lived. The great
thing about being a song writer and a musician is that you never stop
learning and growing. It open's our heart's and mind's and know's no
border's or discrimination. I hope you enjoy my music! Peace, Kai Clark |

Artist, Kellie Lee is no stereotypical artist. Always beating to her own

vision of becoming famous. Wasting no time to share her raw, emotional
and honest sound, she began booking local coffee shops, bars and small
venues in Orange County. With her amazing talent for not only writing
her own music—but composing her own lyrics, Steel Records quickly signed
Kellie Lee to their label soon after she landed in California. For the
past year, Lee has been working on her first solo album, ¡°Stereo type,¡±
which was released on January 2, 2010. Lee began playing music at the
age of 16, when she got her first guitar for Christmas. ¡°When I asked
for the guitar my intentions were to learn to play the songs that I
liked listening to on the radio and I thought playing the guitar sounded
like a good hobby. But something changed in me, it was like a light had
been turned on inside my soul. I had found my calling¡¦ my purpose and it
was to play music,¡± said Lee. Lee has played with artists such as: Cody
