Growing up in a North-African home has influenced his music to reflect an ecclectic mix of middle eastern melodies, african rhythms and old school hip hop.

SCANNeRS was formed seven years ago in London's Camden Town.

The Austin band Residual Kid consisting of members Max Redman (12), Ben Redman (14), and Deven Ivy (14) have quickly made a name for themselves in the few years that they have been penetrating the local Austin music scene with their unbridled style of rock that pushes the envelope of inspiring and awe. A band of a combined age that equals the single age of most seasoned professionals in the scene, Residual Kid are setting the new standard for rock. It's heavy, it's grungy, it's punk, it's honest, and a whole lot of fun.

It’s hard to pinpoint the moment that songs are born, the day casual hummers become singers or scribblers become songwriters. Rayland Baxter certainly can’t, and he wouldn’t want to. Though he grew up in Nashville to the sounds of his father’s pedal steel, he didn’t dream of being a rock star. He loved music, of course, but he liked other things, too: being outside, playing sports, working at the bait shop to make spare change.

Marlhy Murphy(We're Not Dudes, Zeppos) was already one of the best young drummers in the country at just 9.

When it comes to Paul Couture, he's no amateur to the music game. He stays busy doing shows and traveling around the country working with top notch artists that you're probably jamming on your IPod right now. This producer, song writer and collaborative artist has performed with artists such as LMFAO, FKi, Shawzy & Cisco, reggae legend Don Carlos and Pro Skater Danny Way just to list a few. He puts beautifully, "I wouldn't categorize what it is I do as a singing or rapping or making beats, I just go with where the music takes me."
