The Static Dive

The Static Dive follows a string of underground hits like "High & Dry" and "Only a Snowfall" with a guitar-fueled cover of John Lennon's anti-war anthem "Give Peace a Chance".

Of the release, Bob Smith (The Static Dive) says, 'Each year I drop a single on my birthday (April 15). Considering the disturbing state of the world, I thought this was the perfect gift for me and a my fellow pacifist Lennon fans.'

"Give Peace a Chance" by The Static Dive pairs modern psychedelic rock vibes with the sing-along spirit of the original; to bring John Lennon's simple and beautiful proposition to a new light.

Fox Nigon

"Adsum", the third album by singer-songwriter Fox Nigon, is a veritable cocktail of style and a mix of genres.

Produced in collaboration with British producer Matt Butler (Paul Mc Cartney, Madness, Kool And The Gang, Tears For Fears), who handled all the arrangements, and with the invaluable help of Rob Butler, who handled the vocal production, Fox presents his most accomplished album.
Recorded across 3 countries (France, Spain and United Kingdom), with the help of 3 studios (Mysound, Studio 110 and The Stone House), it's the culmination of two and a half years of work.

Categorically refusing to be locked into a single musical style, Fox happily moves from pop to rock, from reggae to electro, offering jazzy nods, and using vintage sounds as well as classical or current.
The musical link can certainly be found at the level of the approach to cinematographic illustration which characterizes the whole of the work.

I thoroughly enjoyed Mike's "From the Heart" in 2008, but WOW! This one truly moves! He's easily on par with smooth jazz greats, like David Benoit, Brian Culbertson, Jeff Lorber and Gregg Karukas. This has a nice blend of smooth ballads and moving tunes! Great compositions. Great musical ensemble. Thanks Mike! I'll be sure to spread the news about this one. This is real smooth jazz by Stanley Davis.

He started writing playing and recorded at several studios in Miami and also appeared on several TV Shows.

In 2007 his wife Sandy was diagnosed with breast cancer. They sold their business and he stayed with her 24/7 as she was going through surgery, chemo and radiation.

Misha Fair

Misha Fair, a prolific singer songwriter, has been making a bold impression with her classic country vocals and expressive lyrics. Those who have been fortunate enough to see her dynamic performances are in high expectation of her upcoming solo releases.

A product of a musical family, the singer-songwriter’s family has had major label success from RCA to Atlantic Records. As a result, she spent most of her early childhood development in the same studios as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the SOS Band, Isaac Hayes, and many other music legends.

With a rich musical legacy written into her DNA, her childhood was shaped by this reality in remarkable yet complicated ways. While most of her kindergarten classmates were toting My Buddies to Show-n-Tell, her father would join her, off tour, with members of the S.O.S. Band, fully costumed. Enthralled in the family business, she quickly earned a reputation as the little girl with the big voice, wowing audiences with renditions of LeAnne Rimes’ ‘Blue’ and other tunes byo Country artists such as Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, as well as rock singer-songwriters Pat Benatar, and Joan Jett.

She was trained from a young age as a classical vocalist, but found her passion in jazz, hip hop, and the gritty alternative sound of the mid9 0s. She performed in countlessmarquee, and children’s choirs in her hometown. Unbeknownst to her, there was a wave of hip-hop and RnB sweeping Atlanta, and the young Misha Fair found her tribe along the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the musical ethos of the United States. Misha Fair attended college on a vocal performance scholarship. Minoring in linguistic studies, she may be one of the few country artists able to sing and write in multiple romance languages.

In 2008, she began an internship at Wondaland Arts Society after a chance meeting with Janelle Monae. Her professional career was kickstarted after she began assisting creatively with many of her early projects.

She has collaborated with artists, songwriters, and producers including the likes of Blanco Brown, Breland, Demun Jones, and Yelawolf.

As she embarks on a solo musical career she looks to join her country musico Contemporaries as a prolific singer-songwriter. All the while, she remains in high demand as a vocal trainer and artist developer. “I’m a classically trained, Southern girl, who fell in love with everything great about this country. My songs have been deep-fried in folk, gospel and bluegrass and are best served with a side of rhythm and blues, and rock and roll,” Misha Fair comments on her music.
