Sharif
After spending months writing songs with hitmakers like Desmond Child, Sharif returned to the studio with over 50 songs. Working with his producers and other musicians, Sharif was able to narrow it down and record 14 new tracks for his 3rd record, "Kisses and Lies." Amazing musicians like Rhett Miller (Old 97's), Tim Bradshaw (John Mayer) and Jon Graboff (Ryan Adams) all stopped by the studio to contribute to the record. Many of these songs have already been placed in film and tv, and Sharif has been touring non-stop since its release.

Lindsey Harper
Lindsey Harper embodies what it means to be soulful. The sultry 23-year old has already gained international acclaim with an honest heart and a depth of lyrics that far exceed her years. With an infusion of piano, jazz melodies, soulful lyrics, and splash of pop, Lindsey’s music creates a profound experience of being. Listening to her music is an instant connection to the artist and the circumstances surrounding that particular song. In a world of turmoil and strange faces, Lindsey’s powerful voice and deeply emotional lyrics evoke a refreshing sense of honesty and connection. Her presence can clinch the listener’s heart with one verse, and delicately put them at peace with the next. Lindsey bares her soul through her music and has the rare ability to make a listener in a dark, crowded room of hundreds feel as if they are in a room of one, where the existence and meaning of Lindsey’s music was created just for them and their world of circumstances. With here first full length album to be release in early 2009 Lindsey Harper has just begun her lifelong musical journey. With strong, honest lyrics, and a fan base of amazing people, Lindsey Harper has a bright and beautiful future ahead of her.
