SVET “HIP HOP VIOLINIST”
Svet’s new single is available on iTunes You can also see Svet’s video promo HERE
Hailing from Bulgaria, Svet has been on the music tip since before he could speak English. Early compositions on piano and violin won him a scholarship to a top stateside music school, and a green card to go with it. Combining his classical violin training with elements of hip-hop, pop, house and reggaeton, Svet developed a style of urban music that is at once catchy and danceable, while displaying virtuosity and a unique visual spectacle.
Now, having honed his live performance while sharing the stage with Rihanna,
T-Pain, Trina, Trick Daddy and in showcases organized by radio mogul
DJ Envy, Svet is bringing his hip-hop violin to new audiences across the country. As a producer, Svet produced the number one requested song (You can’t deny it) by Supernova on XM station “Fuego” last year, which was featured on Dj Green Lantern’s Myspace Invasion mixtape. He is currently working with Latin Grammy award winning artist Toby Love and is featured on his
New album
“Love is Back”.

Artie Kornfeld & Michael Lang Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
Co-creator and sole promoter of Woodstock 1969, Artie Kornfeld was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1942. The man who would later be deemed “The Father of Woodstock” would go on to become one of the most respected composers, publishers, producers, managers, and promoters in the history of rock and roll.
Kornfeld is the son of a New York City policeman and his wife (Irving & Shirley). Brought up in the early 50s in Levittown, New York, Kornfeld’s family constantly moved and he attended six different schools, learning the lessons of the world through the song lyrics played over the radio. Artie Kornfeld would soon live his American dream and become the guiding force to what is now known as “The Woodstock Generation”.
Kornfeld got his first guitar in 1956 and learned a few chords that were pretty much universal at the time. He soon found himself with a record deal and on stage with Dion and the Belmonts with The Skyliners singing backup. Kornfeld would further his music career by attending Adelphi College and American University where he met Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas.
After a few more fortuitous music connections, Kornfeld began his enterprise of writing the most Cashbox top 100 of any song writer. Kornfeld became the vice president of Capitol Records in his early 20s, making him the youngest to hold the position and the first vice president of rock and roll ever. By 1966, Kornfeld had written over 75 Billboard charted songs and participated in over 150 albums. In 1969, Kornfeld left Capitol records to co-create The Woodstock Music & Arts Festival.

Michael Lang,
Woodstock
After he moved to Woodstock, NY and met Artie Kornfeld in New York, the two developed the concept for a major festival event to celebrate the ’60s social movements, and planned to open a recording studio in the town of Woodstock. With Kornfeld and partners John P. Roberts and Joel Rosenman, Lang set into motion the Woodstock festival, which was held on Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969.
Michael Lang was featured in many scenes of the 1970 Academy Award winning documentary film Woodstock : 3 Days of Peace & Music. Lang also produced Woodstock 94 with partners Roberts, Rosenman and co-producer John Scher, and Woodstock 99 With John Scher and Ossie Kilkenny.

Leah Seawright ” ‘Til Your Boots Are Dirty “
Leah’s new single “Til Your Boots Are Dirty” is fun and upbeat just like her.
It is now available on iTunes You can visit Leah’s WEBSITE here to stay up to date on this talented young lady.
Leah Seawright hails from Fort Payne, Alabama hometown of the supergroup Alabama. She’s been immersed in music since birth. “I guess I was predestined to do this,” she says. “My mom and my dad are both musicians and singers. As far back as I can remember, we’d have people over on the weekends to make music. Mom would sing and Dad would play the guitar.” Looking back down the road she’s traveled to reach this point in her career, Seawright observes, “It’s just been a roller coaster. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve always been a glass-half-full kind of gal.” Well, whatever her glass is half full of, you can be sure it’s high octane. Leah’s new single “Til Your Boots Are Dirty” was produced by Jeremy Stover, the man behind Justin Moore’s hits, and was written by Danny Wells, Richard Donahue and Billy Croft. Wells is a BMI award-winner whose hits include George Strait’s “Check Yes Or No” and Rascal Flatts’ “These Days.” Leah and Stover are currently in the studio completing her new album, which is set to be released this spring.
Looking For America “Mark Wills”
Available on iTunes Looking for America, written by Music Row veterans Bernie Nelson and Philip Douglas and rising star newcomer Jeremy Bussey, was a musical force of nature looking for the right home – which it soon found in Wills’ power house vocals.
The song takes an honest look at where we are as a nation and what we (as US citizens – not the politicians) need do to get the country back on track. By the time Mitzi Matlock, Nelson’s publisher, got the demo of Looking for America to Mark Wills, the song had already tested most favorably with different demographic groups all around the nation. Matlock says, “I was knocked out by the power of the song’s sincerity…I’d never heard these simple, honest sentiments expressed like this before. I didn’t have a choice – I had to find the right artist for this song and get it out to the public’.
Eventually Matlock decided her company, Mitzi Matlock Music/MM Publishing, would release the song – she then went straight to master producer Phil O’Donnell to produce the track. O’Donnell called his good buddy Dan Frizell at Legends Studio, to put together a band that included some of Nashville’s top session players.
Looking For America Lyrics
I’m chasing down a memory
Of the way that things used to be
Kids playing underneath an old street light
Knowing they were safe when they laid down at night
I’m looking for something I ain’t seen in a while
I’m looking for a factory
Where a man can feed his family
Not worried about them moving it South
Closing the doors and shut ‘er down tomorrow
I’m looking for America
Chorus
The land of the free and home of the brave
Seems like I just woke up one day
And it was gone, long gone
But I know in my heart is still out there
Can somebody please tell me where
I’m looking for America
I’m searching for an old church steeple
Where inside you find people
Who live their lives unashamed
And they ain’t afraid to say God’s name out loud
I’m looking for America
Chorus
I’m out here looking for the truth
A few folks to waive the red white and blue
Who still believe freedom isn’t free
And I guess is up to you and me to find it
Yeah we got to find it
Cause we’re looking for
Chorus

Jimmy White has just been nominated for 8 Independent Music Network Awards:
You gotta love a boy from New Jersey who takes hold of an unforgettable melody and infuses it with lyrics that tug on your heart; that can make you laugh, make you cry, and that always make you think… Meet Jimmy White, Three time New Music Award Winner and twice named Best Male Artist at the Independent Music Awards.
A self taught pianist, inspired early on by the harmonies and distinctive sound of the cutting edge music of Brian Wilson, White knew from his very first spin of “God Only Knows” that he was at last “Home” … The distinctive fusion of music and lyrics and their development in the recording process continue to be this talented singer and songwriter’s first love.
White grew up in Totowa, NJ and was composing music and lyrics in his head from his earliest memory. White’s career as a professional songwriter began while studying at Seton Hall University, when he had the first song he’d ever written published by MCA Music in New York City when he was only nineteen.
Since 2006, White has had four #1 STS Main AC Chart singles and 11 #1 Independent AC singles in a row. His music has dominated the AC Charts with songs like “Change My Life” and “One Track Heart” from his smash debut album, “One Track Heart.” and “Sure Feels Like Love”, the first #1 from White’s second album, “Hidden Pictures”. These records translated into White’s’ first award at the 2007 NEW MUSIC AWARDS, where White garnered the show’s “big” award as “CROSSOVER ARTIST OF THE YEAR”. He was also a featured performer at the Award show, held at the famous Avalon Theatre in Hollywood, CA, where the Beatles and Rolling Stones first played in America.
In their November 16, 2007 edition, the editors of NEW MUSIC WEEKLY said that White gave “one great vocal performance and put on one hell of a show.” Since 
then, White has won 2 more New Music Awards, including “Best AC Group/Duo” with Jonell Mosser for 2010′s “Just What I Need”. He has also been named “Best Male Artist” at the Independent Music Awards for the past 2 years running.
In 2010, White’s “I Wish You Peace” video completed its third year in a row on the regular holiday rotation on the Gospel Music Channel (GMC), which reaches over 50 million homes throughout the U.S.. “Peace” was also on regular rotation on over 100 radio stations nationwide and many more worldwide, including numerous Billboard reporters.
His last two releases, “Just What I Need” a duet with Nashville’s legendary Jonell Mosser and 2011′s “Katy Did”, also went # 1 on Independent Country Charts and both made the Mediabase/Billboard AC Top 40.
His current single, “Forever and a Day”, is his first song produced by the legendary producer, Gary Mallaber, famous for his work with Van Morrison, Steve Miller, Bruce Springsteen and many many others.”Forever” recently debuted in Billboard’s Hot 100 at #70 and is already in the FMQB AC Top 15. It appears to be destined to be White’s 12th consecutive AC # 1, as well as eventually becoming his highest charting Billboard release to date.
September 2011 will mark the release of White’s epic new album, “Two Cities”, a double CD of 26 songs recorded in Nashville, TN and Buffalo, NY. “Two Cities” is the masterpiece of White’s over 30 year music career and already contains 5 AC #1′s, with a bunch more coming.
This 5 time award winner says modestly of his gifts: “I just do the best with what God gave me”.
