Rihanna is on a journey. From her Caribbean roots to the top of the charts, the runways of Paris and Milan and some of the biggest stages in the world, the 21-year-old, Barbados-born beauty has already earned the coveted title of international superstar. From her breakthrough multi-platinum album “A Girl Like Me” to her ubiquitous global smash “Good Girl Gone Bad,” in just a few short years, Rihanna has helped redefine the path of popular music for a new generation. Now, she continues that musical and stylistic journey on one of the most hotly anticipated new albums in recent history, her fourth original studio album, Rated R. Slated for a November 23rd release, Rated R features the sultry, provocative first single “Russian Roulette,” which is rocketing up the charts at radio stations across the country. In addition to her mind-blowing musical successes, Rihanna has created a charity organization for children in need as well as having signed on to endorse a number of multi-billion dollar companies including Parlux fragrances and Cover Girl, in which she joined the ranks of musical icons and celebrity powerhouses such as Queen Latifah, Drew Barrymore and Faith Hill. In addition, Rihanna was the face of Gucci’s Tattoo Heart Collection Campaign in 2008 to raise funds for UNICEF. It’s hard to imagine that just four years ago, Rihanna was a young girl living in the beautiful Barbados parish of Saint Michael. Her first connection to the music industry came when she met a vacationing music producer named Evan Rogers from New York City. After an impromptu performance for Evan, he was absolutely certain she would one day make history. Soon after, Evan and Rihanna traveled to the Big Apple in search of a record deal. It took just one meeting with Jay-Z and Antonio “L.A.” Reid for Rihanna to score her big break; Jay, who had just recently been appointed the President of Def Jam Records, was so taken by the young singer's arresting natural talent that he signed her to the legendary label on the spot. 

In 2005, Def Jam released Rihanna's dynamic debut album, Music of the Sun, which garnered much attention due to the popularity of her highly addictive dancehall-flavored first single, "Pon de Replay". A year later, she released her platinum-selling second album A Girl Like Me, featuring the #1 singles "SOS" and "Unfaithful". 

With two successful albums under her belt in just two years, Rihanna dropped her third and multi-platinum LP, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007. The album's first single, "Umbrella," was the undisputed number one pop song of the summer and dominated the U.S. pop, urban and crossover Billboard charts for 252 weeks in a row. "Umbrella" was also the #1 single on the UK singles chart for eleven consecutive weeks and went on to win "Video of the Year" and "Monster Single of the Year" at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Her extensive accomplishments also include multiple #1 hits, a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella" along with six additional Grammy nominations, two MTV Video Music Awards, a Teen Choice Award, Favorite Pop/Rock & Soul/R&B Female Artist at the American Music Awards, three Billboard Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards nominations including "Album of the Year,” and she was named "Best International Act" at the European MOBO Awards. Good Girl Gone Bad showed Rihanna’s many layers as a singer, performer and musician. With a cohesive collection of body rockin' tracks that include highly innovative production work from Timbaland and Tricky Stewart, along with the songwriting prowess of Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo, Good Girl Gone Bad has solidified Rihanna's position amongst the industry elite. In support of the album, Rihanna embarked on hugely extensive U.S. and European tours. Good Girl Gone Bad contained a non-stop string of hit singles that began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1 hit “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z), then “Shut Up and Drive,” “Hate That I Love You” (featur­ing Ne-Yo), and “Don't Stop the Music.” Good Girl Gone Bad spent 98 total weeks on the Soundscan chart, earned cumulative sales of more than 36-times platinum in at least 20 territories around the world, and spun off the CD+DVD package Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (January 2009) – which continued the string of hits with the #1 “Take A Bow,” and the #1 “Disturbia.” Rihanna’s wildly anticipated Rated R is sure to solidify her global chart dominance while she continues to push boundaries in both music and fashion. 

When it comes to fashion, Rihanna has quickly become an international style icon. Everything from her cutting edge hairstyles to her immaculate fashion sense are heavily monitored in the glossy pages of high fashion magazines worldwide. After making an enormous impact on both the music and fashion worlds, Rihanna decided it was time to give back to the community that had given her such tremendous support from the beginning. In 2006, she created the non-profit organization Believe, which is dedicated to providing medical services, school supplies and toys for children in need. She has also partnered with DKMS, the world's largest marrow donor center, on multiple occasions. Rihanna's impressive discography and a growing collection of the music industry's most cherished awards have proven that this is only the beginning. With her beauty, fashion and business sense to match, the Island girl turned international superstar will continue to rock the world for years to come. The journey continues!

Not the combination that one would normally expect. But then again there is nothing ordinary about Shontelle - the 23 year-old Bajan singer-songwriter who¹s set to take the world by storm after signing with music mogul Steve Rifkind’s SRC records. Shontelle’s unique story begins in the West Indies on the beautiful Island of Barbados. The oldest of 3 sisters, Shontelle has always been an over-achiever who excelled academically while competing in several sports. However her true calling as a prolific songwriter and talented singer would draw her away from both the field and classroom and onto center stage. Shontelle’s fate seems to have predestined her to be a star. Her aunt Kim Derrick, a popular and celebrated artist in Barbados, saw her drive early on and encouraged Shontelle to pursue her dreams ­ despite her family’s concerns that becoming a musical performer would not be the best career choice. While in high school Shontelle attended Cadets camp - where she served as drill sergeant over a newcomer named Rihanna. “She was a good cadet, though there was one occasion when I had to make her drop and give me ten push-ups. We laugh about it now. I think she¹s forgiven me.” Little did either of the teens know that they would remain friends and both follow the same dream of becoming international stars in the music business. When Shontelle made the decision to attend the University of the West Indies she chose to pursue a degree in entertainment law. She has reaped the benefits of this decision to this day and credits her time studying law with opening her mind to different subjects and ultimately feeding her creative process. As Shontelle says “The next couple of years moved really fast.” She began to carve a reputation in the Caribbean music world by crafting songs for a number of top artists, all while attending the University. Before long, Shontelle scored a hit heard far beyond the Caribbean, writing the girl-power anthem “Roll”. Producers Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken of SRP Records, who had discovered Rihanna in Barbados and brought her to the world stage, heard the song on a Bajan radio station and felt that it had international hit potential. They sought out the writer of the song to license it for a cover version, and had a pleasant shock; “We couldn¹t believe that she was such a great singer and so young and beautiful, and hadn’t been discovered yet,” says Rogers. They signed her immediately, and spent the next six months creating her debut album. During a period Shontelle describes as “one of the defining moments of my life,” she flew around the country meeting with executives from the world¹s top labels and eventually decided to sign to Steve Rifkind’s SRC Records - joining the ranks of the many successful artists in the Universal Music family. Shontelle may have put the law degree on the back burner for now, but she certainly has no regrets. “I think I’ve known all along that it was my destiny to perform on stage and give something to people with my music”, she says with calm conviction. And as 2010 starts to unfold, she’s eagerly anticipating the excitement and challenges that lie ahead. “I love music, it’s my passion, and I can’t wait for people to hear what I have to say...And I¹ve got a lot to say!” "Shontelle's Official MySpace Page":http://www.myspace.com/shontelle "Shontelle's Official Site":http://shontellemusic.com "Shontelle on Twitter":http://m.twitter.com/shontelle_layne "Shontelle on Facebook":http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shontelle/17805847826 "Shontelle's Channel on YouTube":http://www.youtube.com/shontellemusic "Shontelleonline.com - Fansite":http://shontelleonline.com/ 2009-04-28T15:14:30-04:00 2 image/png shontelle-for-site.png 19451 2009-09-18T14:37:27-04:00 Shontelle shontelle image/jpeg Shot_05_013_ret.jpg 1562684 2010-02-10T18:35:11-05:00 2 2010-02-10T18:35:21-05:00 With any new band, you can pretty much use their personal background as a guide to their sound. Knowing that the members grew up in, say, Vermont, or cut their musical teeth in Brooklyn, should clue in you on their musical path; if some of the group ended up studying music in college, that’s another sonic clue. Hand-picked by a hot producer to be the next big thing? That offers up more than a few hints. The Urgency, thankfully, do not sound anything like anything their history would suggest. They are not a jam band or an indie-rock group. They are not part of some hot (and soon to be forgotten) music “scene.” Their music, far from pretentious or willfully convoluted, takes a fair amount of its influence and energy from post-hardcore bands such as At the Drive-in and Glassjaw (with more affinity for melody), as well as groove-oriented groups like 311 (with better lyrics and less hippy—and no hip-hop—vibes). And sure, the vocals of onetime musical theater major Tyler Gurwicz can scale heights, but he keeps the showboating in check. His presence adds a pop strength to the group’s ferocious, rhythmic attack. The Urgency was never a normal band with a predetermined course. The group started with Kevin Coffrin and Ian Molla, childhood friends who grew up together in South Burlington, Vermont. Although the state is well known for breeding everything from jazz to jam groups, Molla says its influence was more subtle. “There’s a lot of time there to live a laid-back lifestyle,” the guitarist says. “So you have to figure out how to entertain yourself and what you want to do.” What Coffrin and Molla wanted to do was music. Starting in middle school, the two friends played together in a variety of bands, which they continued as they both started college at Ithaca. There they met Guerin Blask, their eventual drummer. “Just studying and playing music all the time, we just realized we shared the same passion,” says Coffrin. “From those experiences, we decided that’s what we wanted to do with our lives.” Foregoing college, the three headed off to New York, excited to make it big in the music world. At first, the music world had other plans. Having moved to Brooklyn, the group noticed few similarities between themselves and their neighboring indie/noise peers. “We did well when we toured, but it there was no real ‘scene’ for us,” admits Coffrin. Another element hindering the group’s process was a growing dissatisfaction with their various singers. Fortuitously, they happened upon Tyler Gurwicz , a musical theater major at a nearby college…and ironically, someone who had grown up right outside of the group’s hometown of South Burlington. “They had heard an old band of mine online, and contacted me,” remembers Gurwicz. “Funny thing was, I just ignored them! But they persisted, and came to a musical revue I was doing. They just asked me to join their rock band, and I decided to try it out.” In Gurwicz’s impressive pipes, the group found its focus and melodic center. “I’ve never tried to sound like anyone,” the frontman admits, noting that his soaring vocals often get compared to everyone from Sting to Yes’s Jon Anderson. “Actually, I’ve never really listened to a lot of the singers I’m compared to. I just kind of created my own thing.” With Gurwicz in the group, things quickly fell into place…including the band’s first big break. After hooking up with industry veterans Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken (SRP management, who discovered Rihanna), the band serendipitously met producer David Bendeth. After checking out Paramore at the Warped Tour, Molla bought the group’s CD and became obsessed with the album’s intricate production. So he dashed off a complimentary message to that band’s producer, Bendeth, over MySpace. Surprisingly, Bendeth responded—quite enthusiastically. “He told me he loved our music; I hadn’t even told him I was in a band!” says the guitarist. Apparently, Bendeth, a well-versed music vet (with credits ranging from Breaking Benjamin to Bruce Hornsby) checked out Molla’s profile, noticed his group, listened to a few tracks, and instantly fell in love. “He really put himself out there,” admits Molla. “We weren’t signed with anyone, so that was a big break for us that he took us on.” [The faith paid off – when the band was signed later by Island, the process all happened in, literally, one night, in front of company big wigs L.A. Reid and David Massey, and after a hurried, multi-label bidding war.] During the initial recordings, the group found themselves locked in what they called “Bendeth Boot Camp,” an exacting process where the producer tore down the group musically. “He really breaks you down because he cares,” explains Molla. “He wanted us to discover our basics, and hone in our groove, our feel.” It worked. Though diverse, the songs on The Urgency’s debut remain consistently powerful and intensely memorable. “Fingertips,” the opener and band’s first single, is a steamy, sexually charged rocker about seduction. Elsewhere, the group weaves in elements of punk (“Crimes,” which starts soft and explodes into a speedy chorus), Police-style rock (“Stop”), contemplative pop (“Memories”) and even ventures into the ethereal, as the dreamy, muffled “Lullaby” gently winds down the album. But even as the songs weave in and out, the “groove” that Bendeth and the group wanted is ever-present. Recently, Ryan Siegel, frontman/guitarist for a Long Island band, The Rivalry, joined the band to add some additional guitar heft. “They had contacted me before, as fans of my band,” Siegel says. “But it’s odd: from the moment I heard them, I knew they were the band I wanted to be in. I even sort of jokingly suggested that if they ever had an opening to give me a call.” When the opportunity came, Siegel had no problem switching roles, giving up the frontman duties to concentrate on guitar. “Hey, I could never touch the way Tyler sings,” he admits. New singer, new guitarist, new album: After years of jamming around, the little group that Molla and Coffrin started in Vermont has suddenly vaulted forward in the music world, and at a considerable rush. In a way, the band’s name is now more apt than ever. “Our name, The Urgency, is really about the circumstances of me joining this family,” says Gurwicz. “They had been searching for years for the right singer. Then we met, and it all just clicked into place at once. We just want to keep moving with that same urgent feel.” "The Urgency Official MySpace Page":http://www.myspace.com/theurgency "The Urgency YouTube Channel":http://www.youtube.com/user/TheUrgencyOfficial "The Urgency on Twitter":http://twitter.com/TheUrgency 2009-04-05T17:30:15-04:00 1 image/png theurgency.logo.black.png 8009 2009-04-05T18:02:32-04:00 The Urgency the-urgency image/jpeg image_6.RE_V2.jpg 1786502 2009-04-06T07:41:01-04:00 3 2009-07-08T10:08:00-04:00 Hal Linton is the latest artist to be discovered by SRP (Rihanna, Shontelle), and 2010 will be the year that the rest of the world will discover his unique brand of modern soul music. Hal was born into a musical family in Barbados, Both of his parents are classically trained musicians, and growing up he was exposed to a wide array of musical traditions, from opera to Al Green, Bob Marley to Marvin Gaye. The young academic scholar began to pursue his musical dreams several years ago, and in short order had electrified the local music scene with his potent blend of great songs, exciting vocals, and dynamic stage presence. He captured Song of the Year honors at the Barbados Music Awards for his single “Cardiac Arrest”, and shortly thereafter moved to New York to pursue his dreams further, joining forces with Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken of SRP Records. Linton, Rogers, and Sturken set about taking Hal’s music to the next level, and within a few short months had crafted the core of his album, including such standouts as “Lock My Heart Down “ and “Abandoned Heart”. It wasn’t long afterwards that Sylvia Rhone of Universal Motown made the team an offer they couldn’t refuse, and Hal realized his dream of signing to a major record label. Hal spent the rest of 2009 finishing his album and getting ready for its release in early 2010; the year culminated in an electrifying performance at the Thanksgiving NFL Halftime show for an audience of 40 million viewers nationwide, as well a feature performance at the Soul Train Awards. Hal Linton may have come a long way in a short time, but this cool, calm, and collected 23-year –old knows that his musical journey has just begun.

Age? Just a number, in sports, music, cinema, even business, sometimes. Nationality? Who doesn’t dream of being a citizen of the world? Musical genres? Good music is good music, old or new. Race? The. Most. Yesterday. category of them all. Vita, the 15-year-old singer from Barbados, is living proof, in her personal history and in her music, that the future of pop is going to unfold in a world without boundaries and limitations. Fittingly, she plotted her own discovery right here on the borderless World Wide Web, by posting a video and three audio streams of songs she co-wrote and recorded in Barbados. She traveled to New York to sign and record her album with SRP Records, which also discovered the Bajan heroines Rihanna and Shontelle, and developed them as international stars. Following in their footsteps, she’s confident in the ability of her voice and her music to carry her far in the world. But know this before you know anything: Vita’s voice will be her voice. Big, powerful, honest, smart, observant, distinct, original. With that voice, Vita has now scored a worldwide recording deal with SRP/Universal Motown through Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone, who signed such landmark female acts as En Vogue and Brandy to their first major-label contracts. Vita’s first single, “Like Boom,” will hit radio in August, with a full-length debut album scheduled for release in fall 2009. She''ll be shooting her first video later this month and will then hit the road for an extended radio promo tour both in the U.S. and overseas. “My parents say I sang right out of the womb,” Vita says, “but I had my first voice lessons about four years ago – operatic training, the first year. I had such a big range of music that I liked, that I just wanted to sing, no matter what the genre was. The lessons gave me confidence -- the ability to hear myself, me, and not copy someone else’s style.” Vita’s musical and career horizon now is as broad as the ocean horizon she views while surfing, scuba diving and walking the beach with her four beloved dogs at home in St. Philip Parish, on the Atlantic coast of Barbados. She carries with her a family background from three continents and the Caribbean (her father is a British commercial pilot and her mother a dentist, of Nigerian and Barbadian heritage) and a limitless fascination for every form of music that becomes evident whenever she discusses her loves in music -- and becomes especially obvious when she sings. Inspired, like so many young talents, by her parents’ record collection, Vita, born Vita Chambers in Canada, was raised in Barbados on both her dad’s rock and roll music and her mom’s R&B, and became an avid YouTube watcher, with the result that Andrea Bocelli, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Tina Turner, Imogen Heap, Coldplay, and Pink are as much her musical and vocal heroes as Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston. She now laughs off a school choir solo at age 10 that she recalls as a disaster, but it was after singing lead for a band at a school talent show just last year, choosing her friends’ pop-rock favorites like “So What,” “Bleeding Love” and “Hot ‘N’ Cold,” that she resolved to pursue pop music as her profession. Finding a sympathetic producer to make music to anchor a webpage, co-writing her own songs to express her interest in both rock and electronic music, and delighted by her first creative interactions with musicians, Vita, an obvious self-starter, was nonetheless thunderstruck when in just a couple of months, the Internet buzz around her posted video and songs resulted in a call from SRP Records. Now mid-way through recording her first album, she voices satisfaction that her danceable yet gutsy pop-rock sound and her visuals are both truthful to her. “The songs are pop, but also with an element of rock. The lyrics are young, everything that goes through a teenager’s mind. I’d like my look to have a vintage and contemporary feel, something familiar, but cool and edgy and new, too. Wherever it goes, it’s got to be honest. I have a lot of female friends, and some have self-confidence issues, so always being true to yourself and comfortable in your skin is something I’m always concerned with.” Given Vita’s big-picture view of music, it’s somehow not surprising when she also mentions an interest in pediatric neurosurgery: “It’s so fascinating, because there’s so much we don’t know about the brain. And we only use a percentage of it: people who use just 2% more of its capacity are the absolute geniuses.” Here, then, is a girl who wants to get into your head, and expand your mind. Come along quietly. You’ll enjoy the ride. It’s likely to take you around the world -- everywhere.

Since she was very young, Cara has always expressed a need to create music; she started as a small child by composing on her little toy piano. With a disarming charm and lyrics full of imagery, her warm tone tells stories that we quickly find ourselves in. Cara has deeply immersed herself in music. She dedicates most of her time honing her craft by writing, collaborating with various bands and musicians, attending songwriting circles and college summer songwriting sessions and playing as many coffee houses and music venues as possible. Cara’s recorded music ranges from simple moody piano and vocal melodies to elaborate and elegant string productions. With her colorful approach that touches the feelings, Cara’s songs paint pictures of harbor towns, skyscrapers, full moons and bittersweet memories. She draws inspiration from artists such as Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple, two artists with which her music is often compared.

Their days were brought to life with the Bay’s summer breezes carrying sun drenched melodies, and lyrics that captured their imaginations and ignited a common passion - the love of music. These four young men would begin an incredible journey that would take them from an island in the Caribbean to America where they signed to SRP [the people that discovered Rihanna]. It was at school in Mo’ Bay [as they call it] Oraine ‘Shabbz’ Stewart, brothers Byron and Dru Barwise and Andrew ‘A.T.’ Thompson met. They spent hours honing their singing skills and harmonising while at church and discovered that the sum of their four voices was greater than the individual parts. Dru shares, “When I was young I fell in love with a battered red keyboard that my brother found. The sound from it was crackled, but luckily the keyboard at my church produced a perfect sound. I started singing at church and from then on music became my girlfriend”. The boys grew up in musical families, spending time at church singing the gospel music that influenced their lives. However, on the flipside, the boys’ spent equally as much time listening to the dancehall riddims of artists like Elephant Man, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man and the soulful honey coated ballads of Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross and, most of all, Boyz II Men. “Music has always been a part of my life. My father sang and played on the guitar when I was growing up. Then one day I turned on the radio and heard Boys II Men and that’s when I knew that I wanted to do music,” explains A.T. At every opportunity the band performed - at local shows, school, church on the street corner, anywhere where they were together. They became known as J-Status. “The name J-Status came from Dru”, explains Shabbz, “we wanted something to represent us as a group but also represented who we were. People of Jamaican Status are who we are – J-Status.” However it wasn’t until 2002 that the boys left the parish of St. James and headed for the promise of fame and fortune in the USA. They travelled through Philadelphia working with different producers and relentlessly gigging. Dismayed with the lack of promised recording deals, the band moved on and ended up in Port Chester, NY with a sack of failed productions and very light pockets. A chance meeting soon proved to be their saving grace. They were introduced to the pastor at the Parkside Assembly of God Church. The church needed a band and J-Status needed jobs – this was kismet. They pitched in with everything to do with the church including being handymen! In return for this they received shelter and all the practice and instruments that they needed. “We were so relieved to have someplace to call home even if it was only the basement!” laughs Shabbz. Things were on the up and J-Status were introduced to Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken at SRP Records who are best known for discovering and signing young R’n’B sensation Rihanna. “We needed a male verse on a Rihanna track called ‘Here I Go Again’, and the guys killed it!” recalls Rogers. The track became a firm favourite with fans across the world and featured on Rihanna’s multi-million selling album ‘Music of the Sun’. J-Status have created an inimitable sound blending reggae, R’n’B and pop. It’s unmistakably addictive music, which immediately caught the attention of Rogers & Sturken in a big way. “There’s really no group in the market place like this” states Sturken. “We loved the idea of them having their own lane”. Rogers and Sturken were blown away with the boys and didn’t hesitate in signing them. Their captivating new single ‘Pieces’ which has been lifted from their debut album, is ready to bring the Mo’ Bay heat to clubs and airwaves this winter. Their own album project, which will be released later in the year includes an array of styles ranging from lovers rock reggae, to club bangers. J-Status’ music is a rollercoaster ride of positive vibes and high energy marking a new era in R’n’B reggae.
