Winner of the "Best R & B Male Artist" category at the 2010 Carolina Music Awards, co-founded by seven time Grammy Award
Winner Randy Travis, you'd think baby faced Jason JetPlane is your tenth grade lab partner who actually likes fractional equations
and those goggles. This new "electric soul" artist's slightly geeky but gentle manner belies his sexy baritone voice and sophisticated
songwriting and production skills. A graduate of a well known performing and visual arts high school in Charlotte, North Carolina,
and Full Sail University near Walt Disney World in Florida, with a degree in Recording Arts, this young modern day Mozart who can
also sing, leaves you in utter awe with his genre-defying blend of soul, pop, rock, and R & B.

Quinn Hedges
Born and raised in Delaware, singer/songwriter, Quinn Hedges had been around music his entire life, but began playing guitar
and writing songs around the age of 15. After moving to California and earning his degree in music, Hedges became more serious about
his writing and decided to record an album, blending folk, jazz, and blues into his original songs for the self-titled album "Quinn
Hedges" in 2006. In late 2009, Quinn joined up with John Yessen (drums), Jamison Aguirre (bass), and John Lords (keyboards) to form

population.

Moonlighting in music for years, she sang professionally for cathedral choirs, movie and videogame soundtracks and trailers ("Ghost
Rider," "Halo3," "Age of Empires 2") and professional-level chamber ensembles from Austin (Conspirare) to Seattle (The Tudor Choir).
She is one of the rare classically trained singers able to alternate easily between unaffected pillow-talk sultriness, power-ballad
strength, and coloratura vocalise while still sounding like the same person. Her piano playing ranges from expansive jazz/rock percussiveness
to smart-girl, indie-pop charm.

JELIXA
Jelixa is a Pop/House Recording Artist Sensation, born November 6, 1980 in Brooklyn, New York, to Puerto Rican parents
just like Jennifer Lopez, except J.lo was born in the Bronx. At the age of two Jelixa would dance on the coffee table and imitate the
famous performer from Puerto Rico "Iris Chacon", a very popular singer/ dancer from Puerto Rico. As she progressed to the age of
four, Jelixa would grab a hairbrush, remote control etc...and start imitating other singers. That's when the real first glimpse of
her potential to someday become a dancer and singer was noticed. Jelixa's desire is that the world will accept and love her music.
With your support, her family and Bell Time Records, maybe one day her living room stage will become a real one, and the coffee
tables she use to sing on will possibly become a precious memory for her to tell her future children about! Surely the recording of
her debut single "Are You The One For Me" has a unique story line to fit with her bio. It was in her house living room that her
vocals were produced, recorded and mixed to be heard by all of you!
Michael David Layne
Michael David Layne is an artist who keeps evolving. For his latest project, Michael has teamed up with music producer JD Salbego, who

company, ArtHouse Entertainment. In recent years, Michael has been busy behind the scenes as a voice teacher in Los Angeles
guiding other artists. The excitement of his students' successes acts only to keep Michael's creativity flowing.
Praised for its infectious hooks, powerful & emotional vocals, and ambitious songwriting, Michael's previous 4-song EP included the
original songs: Your Eyes, Bridge For You To Burn, Make You Love Me, and Break. Michael began his performing career as a modern
dancer and went on to dance with the Colton/Spencer Dance Company and the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Myra Maimoh
Myra Maimoh, a smart and dynamic native of Cameroon, based in Germany seems to have a magnetic, almost magical pull to music
not common for newcomers. Her genuine love for music together with genuine love for people, a trait which seems to be disappearing
at these modern times are not only heard but felt in her music. It gets you dancing but also embraces you lovingly and whispers love to your
soul in times of quiet. When asked how she describes her music, she said "my music is for dancing feet but also and especially for
people with dreams, hopes, fears and worries". "Answer'd Me" - her debut album is a truly multifarious 11 track piece covering a
wide spectrum of modern R&B/Soul/Pop with some Afro influence. The difficulty in finding a known name as a tag or label for her
combined with a truly authentic and grounded persona, such convincing, deep, but still yet a new-to-the-scene craft style is the
best evidence of true and unique talent.

music. After battling a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer in 2008-2009, Laura is feeling like a bad-ass now, and has just

by Laura which reflect her belief in love and hope, and her zest for life. The songs are fierce, funny, heartfelt, and real.

producer of a local radio morning show in San Diego resulted in airplay to an avalanche of positive listener response. This exposure
eventually led to a record deal with London-based label, Right Recordings, in October 2008. At the end of 2009, Laura's first album "Girl Like This"

Stan Erhart
Stan Erhart's musical roots began deep on the family farm in Kansas; where a day's work was accompanied by the twang of
country guitars and the rhythm of John Deere tractors. Sideman work in the Chicago clubs came next, before moving to San Francisco
to form one of the busiest bands in the Bay Area. Believing in well written tunes and killer grooves, the band has a grand ole time
delivering the goods. A great big plate of roots rockin' blues with a little of everything on the side!
