1:00 RYAN 
Atlanta Ga.
Young, gifted, smart and talented is how many may describe Blazin Ryan. Ryan started singing at the age of two. His first performance knocked his mother off her feet as well as all the teachers from his Pre-K class when Ryan performed in a play put on by his school singing "Motherless Child” and “God Bless the Child.” The crowd was amazed that this young child had such a powerful voice, touching many and making many cry with the emotions he showed as he sang.
By the time Ryan was in elementary school he was performing in most school programs as well as functions around Atlanta such as: Showcases at the mall, coming in 1st place in a variety of talent shows and opening at football games singing the National Anthem all while remaining very humble. There's no doubt that this young child is TRULY BLESSED and determined to shine. As Ryan says "Everyone has a time, WELL IT'S MY TIME!”
1:15 TITANIUM 
Atlanta Ga.
Thegius "Titanium" Clayton grew up in Atlanta's zone one Herndon Home's housing projects in an area called the Bluff, one of Atlanta's most notorious and dangerous sections. The youngest of four siblings, his story is typical of most young black males growing up in poverty. What makes his story unique is the fact that he has transformed his adversities into lyrics and used those lyrics as a vessel to catapult him out of the projects.
Titanium's confident demeanor makes him the poster boy of youthful exuberance. With his energetic shows, commanding presence, piercing light eyes, chiseled jaw and sculpted upper body, the charismatic rapper typically leaves every female in the room wanting a little more Titanium in their diet. His recently debuted single - "She's Fine" – has become one of the most requested songs in Atlanta and is quickly gaining momentum on the radio airwaves. The lyrical content of his music, full of that all so familiar ATL swagger, and his unique delivery makes Titanium's music stand out from the current crop getting rotation on the airwaves.
Atlanta Ga.
Hailing from Atlanta, Ga., as the youngest of six girls, Kiara had no problem being distinguished from that of her older siblings. For her, music was primary. While they saw it as a hobby, at an early age it was evident that Kiara had a special love for rhythm and melody.
“I remember the first time I heard Murder Was The Case… It scared me, not because I was young or afraid of what was being said, but because it painted a picture. I was able to visualize the words, and that had never happened before.”
“Music had always evoked emotion, but I was naive to the fact that words could beckon images.” This moment of epic proportion would substantiate future decisions of an artist in search of self
2:15 CITY PROJECT 
City Project was created in 2006 and consists of members Jay (Doester) Johnson, Dante (The Veteran) West, and David (Onomatopoetic) Atkins. The band was founded by mistake (just like champagne) when they were collaborating on a few tracks for Dante's 1st solo album "The City". The chemistry was too much to deny and thus City Project was formed. Their 15-Track LP (Self Titled) has been awaited by many as the group has kept free promos circulating throughout Charlotte to wet the appetites of Hip-Hop fans everywhere. City Project's sound is unique to say the least. Their music is a powerful mix of thumping Hip-Hop beats laced with soaring Rock power. Major influences include: Outkast, Pink Floyd, 2 Pac, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Biggie, Coldplay and Wu-Tang--just to name a few. The group has striven to create a genre of music that should remain unclassified. "It is VERY important to us that nothing sounds typical. We want to leave a mark on everyone who loves true music" says The Veteran, who has been gracing the hip-hop scene since 1996 as a member of the group "Philosophical".
Sadie Blu was born August 6, 1989 in Dothan, Alabama. An only child and daughter of a preacher, she moved around quite frequently with her parents. When she was nine years old, Sadie and her family relocated to Columbia, South Carolina.. While listening to the city’s local college radio station, she discovered a style of music called the Blues. She quickly became infatuated with the Blues and Rock ‘N’ Roll, a world that had seemingly been hidden away by church hymns. Artists such as John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Etta James, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix became guiding lights for this young musician.

Her voice is one that oozes experience and pain, but allows the listener to relate to her mature signature style at any age. Singing is the joy of life for this artist who has continued to push forward no matter what disappointments she faces. When she’s not singing she always has a melody within her that permits her to write a song. “I know that this is my calling. This is the only thing that I know for sure that when I open my mouth or put a pen to paper all of the stars are aligned for me to create destiny hence the name Kahlee Star*,” the artist stated when asked how she moves on no matter the obstacle.
