*****1993*** CELEBRATING 10 YEARS IN ATLANTA
***2003*****
SPOTLIGHT
ON HOT UP AND COMING ARTISTS
www.zuudiakusentertainment.com
The music known as JāD
began in Atlanta during the summer of 2000 with a union of four
established artists from separate successful outfits in the region. Each member brings a unique sound and style to the mix, which
together has created one of the most powerful rock acts in the
Southeast. JāD’s sound consists of sophisticated, engaging
rock that delivers a slashing edge.
The band’s music coupled with an incredibly powerful live
show, has allowed them to have a considerable impact in the
Southeast music scene; including winning 96 Rock's Best Unsigned
Band in Atlanta contest that provided them the opportunity to play
the main stage at Atlanta's Music Midtown; winning
the regional competition for Cabo Wabo's Battle of the Bands
competition (top 10 unsigned bands in the US); finalist in the Jim
Beam/Rolling Rock Battle of the Bands; 4 live appearances on 96
Rock's (WKLX Atlanta) morning show; selling 2K + copies of their
debut full-length CD 'Lose Your Mind'; and performing 100+ live
dates across the Southeast and East Coast. The band has recently recorded three tracks with
Rick Beato (The Working Title, Flickerstick, Endo) and two
with Don McCollister (Sister Hazel, Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins)
for their new five song EP (More Than Coincidence).
Check out the band’s website for additional information: http://www.jadtheband.com.
Her
voice demands your attention. Her live performance commands your
respect. Her music moves your soul. The name of this inspiring
performer is Phillippia, and she is changing the face and the sound
of neo-soul music.
Incomparable
to other emerging soul sista's such as Ashanti or Tweet, what sets
Phillippia apart from most artists is her drive to make real music
about real life. Similar to some of the most recent artists who have
influenced her, such as Jill Scott and Joi, Phillippia is a true
soul artist. Phillippia's first exposure to music came from her
mother, who is a singer herself. It was this influence that helped
Phillippia to develop her passion for music. So much so, that she
knew early in life that she had to make it her career.
With a passion to make her own music, Phillippia decided to make a
career in music a reality. Phillipia began her career by singing in
different local talent shows in her then hometown of Miami, Florida.
Not long after, she started working with a local record label, Land
Mark Entertainment. She became a hot commodity for the record label,
being featured on songs by Trick Daddy and the Iconz.
Phillippia eventually parted ways with Land Mark Entertainment and
moved with her two children to Atlanta, Georgia. Once in Atlanta,
she began to perform at several local hot spots and venues including
Taboo Bar and Bistro, and began to make a buzz for herself by
generating a loyal fan base. Along the road, she has had the
opportunity to perform background vocals for Universal Recording
artist, Joi. Soon after, Phillippia embarked on her own music
project and began recording original material with producer/artist
Ken Ford of KF Productions.
Phillippia
enjoys listening to many of today's artists such as Jill Scott, Mary
J. Blige, Erykah Badu and Nas. However, she also appreciates many of
the R&B and Soul originators such as Stephanie Mills, Chaka Khan
and Aretha Franklin. Although she loves to listen to these artists
regularly, the music that she is most excited about is her own. With
plans to release her highly anticipated album "Earth
Child" independently, Phillippia is looking forward to also
finding distribution through a major label.Best said in her own
words, Phillippia is making music for "people who are searching
for good heart felt soul music." With a bright future ahead of
her, and her already large fan base, Phillippia is the new artist
everyone needs to watch out for. http://www.liquidsoulradio.com/artist/lsr_phillippia.htm
 Finally,
Donnie's debut album "The Colored Section"
is IN STORES
NOW! Donnie's lyrics are a thought provoking modern day
masterpiece about the true power of oneself. Like Marvin Gaye asking
"What's going on?" or Sly Stone starting a riot, Donnie
has a musical message of substance that needs to be heard.
Championed by many DJ's worldwide, praised by press, and with an
ever-growing fan base, Donnie is poised to rock the commercial
mainstream. His song "Cloud 9" is currently featured in
the movie Brown Sugar and "Our New
National Anthem" is highlighted in BET's national ad
campaign. In a voice that recalls Stevie Wonder at his most
euphoric and Donny Hathaway at his most tortured, Donnie's music is
an irresistible mix for any collection. Destined
to be a modern soul classic, Donnie's "The Colored
Section" is quickly making everyone's top of the year lists -
support this new artist and buy your copy now!
A
"get-real" from the heart songwriter, Heston's
connection with listeners and music lovers everywhere crosses all
boundaries. The warm and inviting vocals pouring from his soul
have helped him capture anyone who chances a listen, male or
female, black or white.
Listen
hard to the sounds emanating from his EP and you might hear the
echoes of voices like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Smoky Robinson
and even Sam Cooke. Feel the music and you might be inspired
to move.
As
a young boy on the island of Dominica, the early influences of
reggae, Bob Marley and Berres Hammond would make a huge impact on
the grooves of this soulful artist. But at the tender young age of
10, Michael Jackson and "Beat it" would seal his love
for American Music.
At
the age of twelve Heston moved to Philadelphia to live with his
mother and extended family. Heston turned to songwriting and
singing as solace. Through listening to great songwriters,
like Elton John and The Bee Gees, Heston learned to appreciate the
turn of a true and good lyric. His own lyrics speak to the
heart with a raw honesty about life and love taking the listener
to a new understanding.
With
the release of his debut EP, Heston has been able to broaden and
expand his reach to radio listeners and club-goers everywhere.
Response has been wonderful, with listener comments such as, "This
is what we've been waiting for,"......" Heston's music
is a mixture of spirits of the past and the true soul music we
long to hear,".... "Heston is the Donnie Hathaway of our
time." College
radio, always the first to pick-up on new movements and innovative
artists, has placed him in regular rotation and has quickly made
his voice a favorite of their listening audience.
A
charismatic performer, the live show is where you truly appreciate
the beautiful energy and tremendous spirit of this exciting
singer. Heston is able to communicate and connect with
audiences on so many levels, whether he's opening for dynamic acts
such as Donnie
and
Cody Chesnut,
or headlining jam-packed shows at the Apache Cafe, Cotton Club,
and eleven50. His persona reaches out whether being Featured
Artist at industry events with organizations like GMIA, ASCAP, and
NARAS; or showcasing at festivals, including The Jezebel Magazine,
Caribbean, Jazz, and Black Art Festivals. Heston's presence
and music continue to create a huge groundswell everywhere he
performs, adding devoted fans along the way.Whether
captivating audiences with his enveloping performance or stealing
souls through radios, this "gentle giant" beckons anyone
within range of his unique voice. Heston is the voice we have all
been waiting to hear! www.hestonmusic.com
 There
is something inspiring about a performer who has the whole
package: talent, intelligence, beauty and stage appeal. ChandaLeigh
is an artist who has just that type of effect on people. This
ambitious pianist and vocalist obtained her passion for music
while playing for her father's church choir when she was only 12
years old. It was this foundation that gave her the ear for every
other kind of music.
An honor student, this Spelman College graduate studied creative
writing and jazz piano. The Chanda Bailey Trio, which she formed
in 1995, performed live jazz all over Atlanta, delighting
audiences at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, Montreaux Music Festival
and The High Museum of Art. In 1997, the budding artist moved to
Los Angeles to begin her television career playing keyboards in
the house band of the Keenen Ivory Wayans Show. In March of 1998,
she met and befriended Grammy-nominated producer, DaMone Arnold.
The two instantly formed a musical bond, quickly writing and
recording her first record, Easy on the Eyes. Her debut, which she
playfully describes as a hybrid of Janet Jackson meets Stevie
Wonder, is a collaboration of songs that are both playful and
heartfelt.
After a 1999 world tour with the Grammy-nominated reggae band,
"Morgan Heritage, Chanda Leigh returned to the US to grace the
big screen in Jerry Bruckheimer romantic film, "Coyote
Ugly". Later that same year, she began collaborating with
longtime mentor, friend and poet Ray Grant. Together the two have
created such inspiring songs as "Big City Life", 'Wash
His Feet" and "Don't Cry For Me". "Since I've
been working with Ray Grant, I find myself paying closer attention
to the details of life. As a poet, he encourages me to see beyond
the surface and reach for the emotion that makes a song really
sing. As a team, we can take our musical ideas and craft them into
something we can be proud of."
Her talents have also been showcased on MTV, The Roseanne Show,
and The Caroline Rhea Show. Her theater credits include Fats
Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin", and "Five Guys Named
Moe". She also performs regularly with Joe Jennings and the
Neighborhood Arts Jazz Orchestra of Atlanta. She says, "I
like exploring and performing all kinds of music. I have a great
love and respect for it, because music has given me so much."
Currently, Chanda Leigh is one of the keyboard players in the The
Caroline Rhea Show house band. Her second album, Big City Life, is
a musical journey through life in the hustle and bustle of New
York City, and is "much more intense," she says.
"Now, when I walk down the street, I see so many things about
humanity that inspire me...so many things that bring me to tears.
And then I sit down and think of ways to put my thoughts to
music." http://www.chandaleigh.com
