Dominique Soundz
"Dominique is a young R&B singer hailing from the West Coast (Los Angeles, CA to be exact), where music and entertainment
thrives and the competition is heavy. I don’t think the competition factor is intimidating for Dominique, as he seems to know what
he's doing. And it shows on his latest hit "You Deserve a Grammy". "You Deserve a Grammy" is an addicting hit. There is something
about the melody that had this one going off in my head all day.

Bruce Lloyd Kates
LONESOME FOR L. A. is written in a swing jazz style. It is upbeat, has a catchy tune, and reminds one of something Frank
Sinatra might have sung once he got tired of singing "NEW YORK, NEW YORK!" This jazzy song was featured by Continental Airlines a
few years ago as part of their onboard jazz programming. Some French musicians from Bordeaux who flew to the US happened to hear it
and were very taken by it. So,when they got back home to Bordeaux, they began featuring it in various jazz clubs.
As a result, my tune, LONESOME FOR L. A., is much better known in Bordeaux than in Los Angeles which, by the way, is the "sister
city" of Bordeaux. I find this to be somewhat ironical. But, on the other hand, it makes sense that it's easier to be lonesome for
L. A. when you're not IN L.A, If I were called upon to describe in one sentence what my songs and music are about, I would say they
are an attempt to bring together and harmonize two very different aspects of myself - the emotional and the rational. I think that
this kind of endeavor - integrating these two sides of one's nature - is common to the human condition. At least, I'm hoping it
will strike a chord in many people.
uber-sotano
Uber-sotano formed in 2010 as an experiment in song writing. The founder, Eric King, grew up in an extremely musical family.
He studied piano through his elementary school age years and then transitioned to learning percussion, guitar, and bass. Vocally,
Eric traveled in award winning barbershop quartets across the United States and England. You can hear his love of close vocal
harmony throughout most of the music. As with many artists, church provided a great training ground for developing music and
performance skills.
In 2010, Uber-sotano released the debut project, 429412. Since that release, several singles such as "Sunshine" and "Coming Alive"
have enjoyed international success.
With Kilbane (bass) and Goldberg (banjo, harmonica, accordion, keys and vocals) joining Caiafa (guitar, vocals) and fellow
founding member Barbara Corless (drums), The Problems began writing and recording the 14 songs that would ultimately make up the
'Powder Blue Bone' track list. Welcoming two new members into the fold presented a unique set of challenges, but it also allowed the
band to experiment with everything from instrumentation and production to songwriting. The Problems also were joined in the studio
by vocalist Charlene McPherson (from the NYC band Spanking Charlene) and guitarist Rich Hinman (from the NYC band Madison Square
Gardeners), but as Caiafa explains, Corless helps bring it all together behind the drums. While The Problems have enjoyed writing songs
for movie soundtracks, they are most excited about 'Powder Blue Bone'. "Everyone involved with the album was in it for the greater
cause and not just 'doing their job,'" Caiafa says. "Whether it was scheduling their time or making financial concessions, everyone
from the studio owners, engineers and the musicians all went above and beyond. I felt a good kind of pressure to make sure this
album wound up meeting or exceeding everyone's good intentions and efforts."
