Meet international pop soul artist – Lele Rose. The Washington DC born singer, songwriter and pianist is best known for her deep smoky vocals and her superior classical piano chops. With a powerful bluesy voice, Lele has been compared to the gusty sound of Fiona Apple, the braveness and grunge of Adele, the clear pure confidence of Lana del Rey, and the ridiculously beautiful tone of Stevie Nicks. Her passion for music has led her to perform abroad and landed her a nationwide residency with Seasons 52 restaurants where she can most often be seen singing throughout the Northeast region and Southern California. In addition to performing as a solo piano artist, Lele has performed with live bands in music venues across the nation including the world famed Troubadour, the House of Blues, and the Whisky a Go-Go in West Hollywood, CA. She composed, recorded, and produced her first full-length studio album titled Bliss Kingdom in 2011. The album features jazzy piano riffs, upbeat dance tracks, soulful melodies, hip-hop beats, and Latin & Caribbean highlights. City Dreams and Let Go are featured tracks with music videos on YouTube. In 2013 she released an empowering love song Honey, I Love You that pulls you in to listen over and over again. Produced by Rivers Mathew Welch from the new popular Philadelphia rock punk band Rivers Monroe, the ballad starts off building slowly and escalates into a potent driven beat. While in Los Angeles, Lele met Billy Castle who became her drummer for West Hollywood performances and produced a 3-track demo taking her sound to the next level. Lele released the first single from the project Vivacious; a hot, sexy and energetic rock inspired pop song. Soon to be released is a new soulful brassy single, Waiting from the LA demo project and an original holiday song Believe – composed for the Holiday Magic CD, a gift for Children’s Hospitals. Lele continues to create new songs while mastering her craft. Be sure to stay on the lookout for the budding American artist and entertainer as she forms her unique sound, while staying true to her passion of performing, healing, and inspiring at a city near you.

Michael LeClerc is a Canadian singer/songwriter with a style reminiscent of Van Morrison, Dave Matthews or Jack Johnson. His sweet and soulful voice penetrates deeply, with a dream-like quality against an acoustic guitar that drifts between deftly executed finger-style to jangly strumming, and segues easily from love ballad to upbeat rocker. Currently located in Southern California, he is carving a niche for himself up and down the west coast, playing wineries, clubs and songwriter showcases from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada. Fiercely independent, Michael has been playing since the age of seven, and always knew that music was his calling. Growing up in the rural, blue-collar community of Chatham, Ontario fueled his wanderlust, but like many artists, there were several turns in the road before he made the decision to commit to music full time. Some of his early vocations included picking tobacco and working in a corn mill, eventually leading him to pursue a degree in Hospitality and Business Development. After a few years living in Ireland and working with several prestigious hotels, he moved to the Cayman Islands, where his band Smooth Bill had the opportunity to open for top Canadian band The Tragically Hip in front of several thousand people. He has since played to many large audience, including the Twilight Concert Series in Del Mar, CA, andis just as comfortable playing on a big stage as his is to an intimate listening room audience. In 2011, he released his first solo EP with producer Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple, Incubus, Hoobastank), titled Radio. Local terrestrial and internet radio began to pick up on the title track, leading to a three-month tour of California that soon segued into a permanent move. 2015 saw the release of a new self-titled EP, and he has been a featured performer in Renaissance Hotels’ RLife concert series, a program that in the past has hosted artists like Bruno Mars and Robin Thicke. Drawing comparisons to James Taylor, Jackson Brown and John Mayer, Michael’s instant appeal and warm stage presence invites the audience to come closer and listen to what he has to say.

Ryan Hiller has years of experience in the music business, has toured internationally and has played thousands of shows, private events and clubs during his career. Ryan had received his degree in music from the University of New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina, and decided to head to California. Ryan has since established himself as a regularly featured artist at many local San Diego venues, and has toured both regionally and nationally. In the meantime he has racked up endorsement deals including Fender, Taylor Guitars, Sennheiser Microphones, LR Baggs, and Gator Cases. Ryan's music can best be described as a blend of Roots, Rock & Soul, and as Steve Belkin from UE3 Promotions puts it, "a soulful artist whose sound lies somewhere between New Orleans and Old blue jeans. A lot of fun and very comfortable."
