Jade was born and raised in Hawaii, on the beautiful island of Oahu. From a very early age she was deeply involved with music. Her first solo performance occurred in the second grade, when she sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in a recital. Not long after that her mom brought home a copy of The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack and she was hooked. She fell more and more in love with singing each day, and begged her mom for voice lessons. She remembers at her first few voice lessons she was working on the R&B/Soul song “When You Believe” from The Prince of Egypt. “One day I added my own little thing to the song. I sang these ‘Oooos’ and I kept going higher and higher. My voice teacher exclaimed, ‘Where did that come from!’ The very next lesson she had me singing ‘Ave Maria’.” That’s what Jade has been singing ever since, the little girl with the grown-up voice.

Jade actually started as a pianist and a dancer, studying mostly ballet and hula. Her piano playing as helped her immensely as a singer, and she never wants to give that up. She would love to compose her own music, and has been experimenting with different songs. She has a strong love of acting as well, and could see herself doing movies and television one day. Jade loves all types of music, but her favorite genres include: Classical, Broadway, Celtic, and Pop from the 30s, 40s, and 50s (what she deems Bing Crosby music). “I guess some people would call me old school,” she laughs. She attributes her love of music to her family. While her dad took her and her two brothers around in his truck, they would listen to Billy Idle, U2, The Cure, and The Cranberries. Her mom had her listening to the sounds of Bing Crosby, Irving Berlin, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. “It was a strange mixture,” she recalls. It aided her tremendously, though, and gave her a strong foundation in all the different styles of music.

As a teenager, while most of her peers were listening to Christina Aguilera or the latest rap hit, she was listening to Charlotte Church, Sarah Brightman, Hayley Westenra, Bing Crosby and Josh Groban. “I used to sing along to their CDs, and I realized that I could sing like them and hit all of their notes. They were definitely huge influences in my life. Not only is their style very different from the bubble gum pop we are so used to hearing, they have such strong and pure vocals.” Jade hopes to do the same. Jade doesn’t know what the future holds; only that music will be a huge part of it. As for right now, she is quite content to be doing what she loves: singing her heart out.

SHERY: "LOVE IS A GHOST"

Shery is a new, passionate singer/songwriter, gifted with a voice that will forever steal your heart. She writes and performs inspired, unique songs that transcend the barriers of language.

Through her very own brand of melodic pop and pop/rock, Shery creates a true world of FEELING, celebrating the shadows, the agonies of love.

Shery was born in Guatemala, the country of Ricardo Arjona, the morning of an August 18, under the sign of Leo.

Her first album, "El Amor es un Fantasma" ("Love is a Ghost"), is expected for Spring 2007.

The album takes name from her first single, a delicious song that remained for 26 straight weeks in the Guatemalan Top 40, then climbing #1 as the most requested pop song nationwide -- the first time ever for a local female artist. You download the song for FREE at www.shery.net or www.myspace.com/shery1

Without real promotion, no record label, and no money, her debut concert (Guatemala, June 2005), was an absolute sellout.

What was intended to be an intimate night just for a small circle of close friends, became a totally crowded venue, enchanted with the passion of a young soul, brave enough to climb on stage and sing her heart out, performing in public for the first time songs she had written not for the public, but "to exorcize my own shadows", as she remarked later.

When after the show almost one out of every two people walked out with Shery's first single on hand (a quality home-made CD commissioned at the very last minute), it was obvious something unique had taken life that evening.

During her first 18 months of career, Shery has been a finalist in both the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (among 15,000 entries from all over the world) and the Unisong International Songwriting Competition. She has won a medal in the World Championship of the Performing Arts, in Los Angeles, California.

Shery has been a featured artist in all major T.V. shows in Guatemala, including Nuestro Mundo Joven, Alo Que Tal America, Con Buena Onda, Nuestro Mundo por la Mañana, Telediario, Cuestion de Minutos, Viva la Mañana and El Bingoton Millonario, and has received intense coverage from magazines and newspapers such as Siglo XXI, Prensa Libre, Nuestro Diario, Al Dia and Gee Magazine.

Azteca America described her as the "New voice from Guatemala to sweeten the world".

She has been interviewed by the leading national and local radio stations, such as Radio Mia, Exa FM, Red Deportiva, Doble Via, Radio Punto, Radio 10, Infinita, Yosi Sideral, Tropicalida, Extrema, Alfa 97.3, Galaxia, TGW La Voz de Guatemala, and was the first-ever pop artist to be interviewed by Radio Faro Cultural, the country's leading classical station.

In September 2005 Shery did her first US appearance in Washington D.C., invited by the Guatemalan Embassy.

She has performed in numerous venues, alone and with other artists, including some of the most important scenarios in her country, such as La Gala de la Cancion, Teleton, Escenarios, Mundo Navideño, Feria Nacional, and Radioteleton.

Shery has shared stage with Latin superstars the likes of Christian Castro and Manuel Mijares, as well as with local legends such as Malacates Trebol Shop, Viento en Contra, Aurum, and Radio Viejo.

Her second single, an irresistible ballad titled "Me Converti en Roca" ("I Becane a Rock"), premiered in February 2006 by Radio Mia 93.7, and has since then received intense airplay in radio stations across the country.

In August 2006 the song climbed to #1 position nationwide, while successfully making the leap from Contemporary Hit Radio to other formats (on its original version, not remixed), such as Tropical and other upbeat genres.

In September 2006 "Me Converti en Roca" was voted by the users of GarageBand.com (the largest independent band portal on the Internet) as the "#1 Best Love Song, overall, all time". The site also gave Shery awards such as "#1 Best Female Vocals in Latin, all-time", "Best Melody", "Most Original Song" and "Best Production".

Directed and produced by Daniel Rene (former member of the legendary Latin Pop band Menudo/MDO), the video of "Me Converti en Roca" was filmed in Miami, Florida, and will start to air in January 2007.

When she is not on stage singing, Shery is writing, producing or recording. She dreams on a world in peace, where no children has to grow-up in hunger, and where human kind has finally learned to live in harmony with nature.

•  super ultra fantasico

Self-taught and trained as a classical pianist, Aaron began to branch out in search of piano styles that were out of the realm of his origin. Though George Winston and Michael Nyman were two of beginning inspirations, their music gave him something to look forward to and also began helping him craft his talent.

He began playing around age 4 on his great-aunt’s cherry wood Wurlitzer Upright Console piano. The piano had been in the family for nearly 20 years by the time Aaron took an interest in playing. At the time, his older cousin was learning to play. She taught him his first song on the piano: The Boogie Woogie. The piano was what he looked forward to most when visiting with his great-aunt and great-grandmother. Also at age 4, Aaron showed signs of an artistic nature. He began drawing things he saw, from flowers to cartoon characters on VHS tape cases. His family knew that they had produced yet another spawn of shear and natural talent. Within the next 10 years Aaron would go on to become a skilled and disciplined artist and dressmaker, only to postpone any interests he had in piano music.

Though through the course of his school career he was involved in music theory classes, as well as Choir, Aaron hadn’t touched a piano until his sophomore year in high school. When school let out for that year and he was officially a junior, Aaron bought his first piano as a birthday present and began to teach himself to play once more. Once his grandmother heard him play, she asked that he take piano lessons for guidance and insisted on paying herself. Aaron did not argue with the mutual decision but dreaded his first lesson after hearing so many stories: “I think it’s a lot of children’s greatest fears: The piano teacher. I mean, we’ve all heard the horror stories that made playing the piano far from fun which is why for the longest time, I refused to take professional lessons.” He did, however, find the myths to be untrue after his first lesson. He met a woman who would change his life forever: Marilyn Kelly...
