RICKSTARR Growing up and living between America and London, singer, song writer and dancer, ‘Rickell Brown a.k.a Rickstar; comes from a talented family. With his mother, father, and godmother all being singers, it made natural sense for Rickstar to follow in their footsteps. He is also related to reggae recording artists Leroy Sibles and Mr Vegas. As a youngster, Rickstar was exposed to an array of musical genres and cultures, one being the sounds of the legendary Detroit label, “Motown”. Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Diana Ross and The Supremes are among the list of many of the Motown artists Rickstar seeks musical inspiration and influence from. http://www.facebook.com/rickstarofficial
SAM SURE AND GIACOMO Sam Sure & Giacomo are a duo with their eyes set firmly on the top. The mixture of slamming production, hooky melodies and straight up heart felt lyrics demand you to sit up and pay attention. Immersed in music the pair consistently push the boundaries of what a hip hop act can do, to the point where their sound no longer conforms to one genre but is a melting pot of a million influences. Experimental in the studio and mad energetic live, this is a band to watch in 2011 http://samsureandgiacomo.tumblr.com/
