Melanie Taylor – www.melanietaylorofficial.com
Originally from San Diego, CA, Melanie Taylor may seem to fit in the Pop category, but she is much more resonating with a sound that combines reggae, 80s pop, hip hop, and dance pop.
David Geftakys – www.DavidGeftakys.com
Only one word can describe this artist’s genre and that is Rock. He has several releases already under his belt. His first EP, 'Lines In My Hands', was met with strong reviews from both critics and fans. His single 'Say It All' was rated in the top 5% of song reviews by SoundOut, a partner of Fontana music, and his 3rd track from the EP, 'Stellar Phoenix', has become a favorite with Radio DJ's and fans alike. David appeared on the late-night style show, 'Live Taping with David Valdez' at Universal Studios, and was a guest on KCLA's 'The In Show'. But by far David's biggest hit with his fans has been 'Games We Play' which was released along with his first music video.
Special Guest - CassieM
Orange County native CassieM has hit the music scene running and it will be forever changed...for the better. Her vocals are an inspiring and ethereal blend of warm tones and soulful legato; and her music verges on a blend of Katy Perry meets Kelly Clarkson; the sound is a bold, colorful surprising mix of Pop meets rock with a bit of R&B thrown in for good measure.
