HUNTER HAYES – BIO

Among the many extraordinary things about Hunter Hayes, the multi-talented musician, writer, producer and performer, perhaps what is most astonishing is that in truth, he’s just getting started. And it is that fact which holds the promise of Hunter Hayes becoming one of the most significant musical talents to emerge, not just from Nashville, but from anywhere, in a long, long time.
Already, he has accomplishments beyond most musicians wildest dreams: Singing “Jambalaya” with Hank Williams Jr. in front of 200,000 people (15 million YouTube views) at the age of four; appearing with Robert Duvall (who gave Hunter his first guitar) in “The Apostle” at the age of six; playing with Johnny and June Cash, and Charlie Daniels at a BBQ; performing for President Clinton and many more. You might say that he’s lived a charmed life. But those experiences are simply the natural result of Hunter’s prodigal talent, one that’s been there from the beginning as though a gift from God, and one that he’s always conscious to be in service to.

SAMMY ADAMS – BIO

Adams started recording songs on his Macbook in 2008 from his college dormitory room. Over the course of the next two years, he recorded a large amount of material that would be used on his later releases. In early 2010, he emerged into the music industry with his release of “I Hate College (Remix)”, a remix of Asher Roth’s I Love College, on YouTube. He was able to sell his EP, Boston’s Boy, released on March 4, 2010 by 1st Round Records. The EP managed to reach #73 on The Billboard 200. Boston’s Boy also debuted at number one on the iTunes hip-hop chart in its first week, and the song “Driving Me Crazy” hit #8 on iTunes hip-hop singles chart. In the end of June 2010, Adams finished his first mixtape, Party Records Mixtape in London, which was released on September 23, 2010. It was produced by DJ Whoo Kid and DJ Cash and sampled beats from Deadmau5 (Some Chordz) and Yolanda Be Cool (No Speak Americano), as well as others.
In August 2011, Adams performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago. In November 2011, Adams released the first single, titled “Blow Up”, from his forthcoming album. The song was also made available as a free download from his website.

SUSAN JUSTICE – BIO

Every now and then an artist arrives on the scene and captures your attention not with pyrotechnics, high fashion or cutting edge technology but with an honest voice, an open heart, and songs that touch your soul. SUSAN JUSTICE just might be one of those rare artists who can speak to a generation. On her debut album Eat Dirt, soon to be released on Capitol Records/Kite Records, Justice delivers a collage of emotionally resonant songs that are deeply personal and reflective, but at the same time connect with anyone who’s ever tried to figure out who they are and where they belong. Eat Dirt is an inspiring story of survival and a wild joyful ride that puts a smile on your face in these most difficult of times. Justice’s story is an unusual one. She was raised by itinerant parents who were members of a religious sect known as The Family. Susan, the second oldest of ten kids, spent her childhood and teen years on the road with her parents and siblings, performing music on the streets all over the world. During the course of their travels, the family slept everywhere from a van parked in a lot in Germany, to a train station bench in Italy, to a city bus renovated by Justice’s father and parked on the street in New York City. “We would drive around for hours looking for a parking space for the night,” she recalls. “Sometimes we would stay for a few months, but most of the time, it was a new town every few days.”

THE WANTED – BIO

Make no mistake about it: The Wanted are having the time of their lives. Only a year on from their huge Number One debut single ‘All Time Low’ and they have already become one of Britain’s biggest, most brilliant pop bands, living a dream that has far surpassed even their most optimistic expectations and all with their best mates at their side. Hard working and quite plainly loving every single second, the band have already notched up four anthemic Top Five singles and two Number Ones, been viewed a staggering 30 million times on YouTube views and sold 400,000 copies of their eponymous debut album, which shook pop music to its core upon its release last October. A year on and The Wanted are now set to shake up the charts all over again with their feverishlyanticipated second album, a euphoric widescreen classic of epic-pop proportions. It comes at the end of simply phenomenal 2011, a year that has seen The Wanted become serious pop players.
