RealizmMichael Leon Hill and Travis Green, a pair of 25-year-olds from Sarasota, aren't brothers by blood, but they have formed a bond just as strong, and just as lasting. Calling themselves "Realizm", this rap duo insists upon saying it like it is. Their Marston Recording debut, called "Dark Side Chronicle", represents truth for the two men, not what they think others might want to hear. Travis and Mike have gone through school, Job Corps, and now a rigorous studio schedule together. Honesty and communication have carried them through both their personal and musical lives, and they hope people will listen to what they have to say. "It's our story," Mike said. "We talk about things that need to be expressed and told. We talk about the same things that newspapers talk about, real stuff." The duo is excited to see the fruits of their labor. "When I see it (the album) on the shelf, I'll be proud because I know I did something," Mike said. As long as they stick with the truth, Realizm should become a world view. |

A Tempo“Eclectic Repertoire!”, “Unique Style!”, “Breathtaking Harmonies!” -- These are just a few of the adjectives being used to describe vocal group, A Tempo. A Tempo stormed the Gulf Coast music scene several years ago with their stunning vocal prowess, lush harmonies and innovative presentation, blended together to create pure musical excitement! Their extensive performance experience spans the gamut of musical styles, but lovingly lingers on the genres of Jazz, Swing and Big Band Standards. These four golden-throated singers are each classically trained musicians and have enjoyed successful solo careers. All are equally at home singing Mozart or Ellington, but can best be compared with such legendary vocal ensembles as the Hi-Los, the Modernaires, and the Four Freshmen. A Tempo consistently dazzles audiences in a variety of venues ranging from intimate cabaret clubs to the concert stage. Their debut album “Painting Pictures” is set to be released by Marston Recording Corporation in September, 1999. “Painting Pictures” remains true to A Tempo’s dedication to the cutting edge and represents a fusion of everything from a cappella Renaissance to Boogie Woogie—with a lot more in between! A Tempo is Susan Filson, soprano; Christine Ayala, mezzo-soprano; Dean Steffenhagen, tenor; and Tim O’Connnor, baritone. The group has been making beautiful music together since 1992, and will continue to do so well into the next millennium! |

He grew up to the sound of Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Suger Minnott, Dennis Brown and many more. At the time music played a very important role in his life. At the age of nineteen he moved to Kingston Jamaica with his oldest Sister; then he moved to the US. In 1993 he put out his first single (I Will Be There for You). The same year he produced and released his second tape with two songs. In 1997 he signed with Marston Recording Corporation to produce his first album. As a young lad growing up in the country, he embraced roots reggae as an inspirational tool and he is proud to be part of its heritage. He feels within himself that his true job and purpose in life is to enlighten people to the realities of life through the music and this he will strive to do until his dying days. |
