Daughter of legendary comedienne Lotus Weinstock (the first woman to perform at the comedy store, engaged to Lenny Bruce (the last year of his life), contemporary of Robin Williams, Bill Maher, Jay Leno, and Sandra Bernhard.Haydn's debut album as a solo artist, Lili, was released in the fall of 1997 by Atlantic. Light Blue Sun appeared in 2003 from BMG/Private Music, with a pair of releases from Nettwerk Music Group, the EP Goodbye Stranger and the full-length Place Between Places, arriving in 2007 and 2008, respectively. NPR described Place Between Places as "A mix of neo-psychedelic flower child and rock star virtuoso...Heifetz meet Hendrix," and Haydn performed the single "Strawberry Street" on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the HBO hit Californication. Lili's fourth full length studio record, LiliLand, will be released in late 2014, and was written in the aftermath of a freak chemical accident that caused brain damage and the loss of everything Lili owned. Lili describes this record as "the jungle of my mind. Fun, fragile, and ferocious songs about losing everything and getting it back.” She further explained this experience in a TEDx talk "How Music Saved My Brain."
Alicia Witt has played her piano-driven rock all over the world, including opening for Ben Folds Five and John Fullbright. She has performed as musical guest on CBS’ Late Show with Craig Ferguson and was featured as the cover story in Sound & Vision Magazine.Also known for her decades-long career as a prolific TV/film actress (beginning in David Lynch’s ‘Dune’ at the age of 7), her music has been featured in numerous movies including this year’s ‘I Do’ and ‘Pasadena’, in which she also stars. The latter is a duet co-written/performed with Ben Folds for the end credit theme.
The "818" based PACKLIFE RECORDS roster is a "group of young talented brothers," says label founder and CEO, Pierre Rich, "All of our music is created from non-fictional experiences in life and is inspired by our everyday personalgrowth and music production perfection for our music listeners, consumers and other artist". Rich's brother Christopher aka Pakkafella, doubles as solo artist and producer. The two of them form Packlife's cornerstone. "We're here to let you know this crew is hungry and talented, they're ready to ride." As for the valley's lack of hip-hop credibility, Rich looks to set the record straight with the release of his third album, a banging compilation called, "Suthern Kavvy", as in Southern California's Finest Caviar.
"Freshly arriving from NYC, indie acoustic pop band The Score is embarking on a new adventure in Los Angeles. Since they released their first EP in February, the band has established themselves as a go-to act at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC, playing for packed audiences. Their song "Don't Wanna Wake Up" has garnered fans globally through in-store placements at Hollister and Abercrombie stores worldwide. They were selected among a roster of almost entirely major label artists for the 2014 Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star Competition. Even Perez Hilton has taken note, featuring them as a band to watch on his New Music Tuesdays among four other signed acts.
Talented songwriter/producers in their own right, The Score was selected as finalists in this year's John Lennon Songwriting competition. Their YouTube & SoundCloud channels have a combined 2 million plays, with their innovative lyric videos of original music reaching over 100,000 views.
