FEATURING:

Serenity
Serenity is a contemporary folk music group comprised of vocalist/lyricist Billy Moschella, Jr. and guitarist/songwriter Keigo Yoshida. Based in Los Angeles, California, they draw inspiration from a wide variety of musical influences, including the shadowy, slow-core melodies of Azure Ray and the folk/rock/pop rhythms of John Mayer. The group combines the soft, sultry vocals and poetic lyrics of lead vocalist Billy with the creative and heart-felt compositions of guitarist and composer Keigo. Their debut album, 'The Passage of Time,' is a haunting, lyrically beautiful sonic journey, one that reflects upon the past and gazes forward into the future through nostalgic eyes.

Jennifer Quiroz
Jennifer Quiroz writes home-spun pop songs rooted in acoustic melodies and intimate detail. With lyrics like the ember-infused conversations one has with friends at a fireside and melodies as memorable as those moments, Jennifer Quiroz' debut EP “And So I Sing” is poised for success. With subject matter ranging from developing the faith that everything truly does happen for a reason ("The Greatest Good") and the escape that music offers when everything else seems to be collapsing (the title track "And So I Sing") to the fear of being alone ("The Story"), her catchy songs and soft, raspy voice effuse a healing warmth. Jennifer has been rising up through the ranks of singer/songwriters in Los Angeles, playing to enthusiastic crowds at venues such as Molly Malone's, Room 5, The Mint, and Genghis Cohen. With her debut EP set to be released in February/March 2010, she's set to expand to venues in San Francisco, New York, Nashville, and beyond.

Thomas Horning
Thomas Hornig graduated with Honors from the prestigious Musicians Institute’s Percussion Institute of Technology in 1989. He has been living the studio lifestyle since age 12; sitting in as a session player playing drums and writing original music. It was however not until Hornig, an accomplished singer/songwriter, recorded, mixed and produced his debut record “All of My Life” in 2006 that he discovered his appreciation for producing and mixing records. Now a producer and engineer at his brainchild, Tomcat on the Prowl Productions, Hornig prides himself on not succumbing to the typical “in and out” production studio routine and takes a more modern day “boutique studio” approach with his artists. Hornig focuses on developing the sound, expanding the artist’s versatility, and leading the artist to a suitable musical direction. Having previously toured in his native Germany and making stops in France, England, Holland, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Alaska; Thomas Hornig brings experience and his understanding of music to the production of new records.
