COLTON FORD //  lives in Los Angeles,

Sultry, seductive, hip swinging… all words that have been used to describe Colton Ford. However, this time, the reference is not toward the man but to his music. Fans of Colton Ford may be surprised to learn of his gift of song. In the late eighties, under the alias “Glenn Street”, he released a hit dance single, “Hardline”, distributed by On The Spot Records. “Hardline” was produced by acclaimed producer, Jon St. James (Stacie Q, Bardeaux), and was selected as a Hot Pick by Billboard and later appeared on Billboard’s Top 100 Dance chart. He performed throughout the United States and in Mexico and China with the likes of Keith Sweat, Salt’n Pepa, and Vanessa Williams. Unfortunately, initial success was followed by many bumps in the road. His second single was not moving in the musical direction he wanted, and Colton quickly ended his relationship with Jon St. James and On The Spot Records. Soon after, however, while at a dance club in West Hollywood, he met a man by the name of Michael O’Hara. “I was just singing along with what was playing in the club and got a tap on my shoulder,” remembers Colton. “The man said ‘you really can sing!’ He introduced himself as a songwriter and told me he would like to speak with me about his production company.” Skeptical, Colton gave the man his number. Little did he know that this stranger had written, among other songs, “I Love You Just Because” for Anita Baker. In addition, his production company, MIDE Productions, was a partnership with celebrated songwriter Denise Rich. Colton signed to MIDE Productions and was soon working on a project with famed producer, Frankie Knuckles. “Frankie was looking for a male singer for his second album. I recorded two tracks and both sounded extremely promising.” Frankie loved it, the label loved it, Colton quit his corporate day job, the label found out Colton was white and immediately kyboshed the project. The label was opposed to the idea of a white male singer being the front guy for Frankie Knuckles. They demanded a new vocalist and despite Frankie’s protests, Colton was swiftly replaced. Shortly thereafter, his deal with MIDE Productions also fell through. Colton found himself back at his day job. He continued writing and recording songs on his own, as well as performing and singing with several R&B recording stars including Chaka Khan. He was offered another major record label deal that proved short-lived. Due to internal upheaval and shuffling within the company, Colton was shelved and once again found himself empty handed. Ironically, a random modeling gig led to his next opportunity - a meeting with Director John Schlesinger who had just begun filming Rupert Everett’s The Next Best Thing. “John liked one of my ballads and wanted to use it in the film,” explains Colton. But again, disappointment wasn’t far behind. At the last minute, the song was pulled from the soundtrack. Colton, however, did gain something positive from the experience. “Madonna listened to my music and loved my voice. She saw me as a solo Backstreet boy and encouraged me to go more pop.” Colton accepted the advice and took it a step further. In August, 2002, Colton Ford began filming “Naked Fame,” a documentary that features Colton as he refocuses his pursuit towards pop/dance stardom with the release of his dance single, “Everything” (Nervous Records), and subsequently the release of his Top 10 Billboard charting dance hit, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” (Centaur Records), featuring Dance Diva Pepper MaShay. The film aims to explore Colton Ford’s journey into the music industry, and provides a true life glimpse at the club music subculture through interviews with major players including producers, songwriters, agents, managers and deejays. “Naked Fame” is being released theatrically by Regent/Here! Films early in 2005. Currently Colton Ford is getting ready to release his next single,“Got Your Vibe In Me.” The track is produced by MacQuayle, and co-written by MacQuayle and Colton. He is also working on a full album due out late 2005.

FREDRICK FORD // lives in New York City,

I was born just outside of Philadelphia and moved around the country quite a bit growing-up. Not an army brat--I just had the kind of parents that were always looking to further their careers so that we all could have a better life. We finally settled in New Jersey for my high school years....and then ended-up in upstate New York, where I attended college. Growing-up as a latch-key kid, I learned early-on how to be creative with my time. Between performing a magic show (that had a lengthy run every Saturday in our garage) to staging our own "Olympics" for the kids on our block, my older sister and I always seemed to fit-in wherever we lived. At Halloween, our house became a "haunted mansion." Twenty five cents got you the 'scare of your life.....' I was normally a straight-and-narrow, shy student at school. However, my best friend and I would sometimes act-out and do things like pick flowers from neighbors' backyards and then go door-to-door, selling them back to those neighbors as freshly cut arrangements. I think it was during this time that I began to see the fun in breaking all the rules once in a while.


MICHAEL M // lives in Miami,

Following in the footsteps of his classic releases "I Could Be This" & "Let's Talk About Me" (Strictly Rhythm), ClubKid extraordinaire Michael M. returns to the scene with this depraved tale of club life gone wrong. On Giuseppe D's Original's Electro Mix, Michael's edgy, spoken vocals chronicle the diary entries of a quest to get his record played gone wrong. Pulling double remix duties, Amp's own Mucci and Camara cover all the bases with two scorching big room mixes. The Evolved Mix pounds you with over 10 minutes of hypnotizing, tribal darkness, while the duo's alter ego, Da Freeks energize the Control Freek Mix with a massive, synth-driven bassline and pumping house beats. Also watch for the hilarious South Park inspired, animated music video featuring Michael living it up with various celebrities, this is sure to be the most talked about record of the summer.

 

 
 

LANE McCRAY //

10 million records world wide! 1996 Billboard Music Award Nominee! 1996 MTV Music Award Nominee! 1995 MTV(EU) Music Award Nominee! 1995 Golden Europa Award Winner!! 1995 ECHO (German Grammy) winner! ASCAP Award Winner! The always smooth and charismatic - Lane McCray!! currently hard at work completing years of reflection, inspiration and devotion, culminating with the release of his highly anticipated debut CD, "Life in the Fast Lane.€? The language of music has always transcended political, religious, ethnic and cultural boundaries. It is with this spirit that Lane McCray burst onto the international music scene in the 1990s with the late Melanie Thornton. Having met in Frankfurt, Germany by a chance encounter, this powerhouse duo became known as La Bouche (French for "the mouth") and conquered the dance music scene with landmark success, producing chart toping singles, peaking at number one in fourteen countries around the world. Lane's extraordinary, silky-smooth tenor voice, his ability to flip the rhyme, unique song writing talent and years of experience as a dancer, choreographer and actor, coupled with Melanie's legendary vocal presence, made La Bouche the successful dynamic duo that conquered the charts of the 1990s. With more than 10-million records sold under BMG/RCA records label and the meticulously watchful eye of legendary music mogul Frank Farian (Boney M and Milli Vanilli), La Bouche earned numerous awards, including the German Grammy the Echo, for Song of the Year in 1995. That year, Lane and Melanie received their second award, the Golden Europa, for Best Duo or Group, thus truly establishing these talented artists as a mainstay in the music industry. La Bouche was nominated for "Best Dance Video" at the second annual MTV-Europe Music Awards in Paris, France, and was nominated for three awards at the MTV VMAs in 1996. After taking Europe by storm, La Bouche took the lead with their undeniably powerful sound in the United States. With their hip and trendy style, La Bouche's Infectious became a permanent fixture in modern music and entertainment. A household name by the late '90s, whether driving in your car, watching a movie or television, or attending a major sporting event, if you have been on planet Earth, you have heard La Bouche's infectious melodies. Their success garnered La Bouche motion picture and soundtrack credits in productions including "Night at the Roxbury," "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion,€? and MTV's "Joe's Apartment.€? La Bouche was sited as one of the driving forces for now recognizing dance artists€”the Grammy Academy created two new categories: Best Dance Song and Best Remixer. It is no wonder that Lane was among those recognized with the prestigious ASCAP €œWriters Award" for writing one of the biggest songs of 1996, followed by the Winter Music Conference's win for best dance recording for the single "Be My Lover." That same year the duo was nominated along side No Doubt and Tony Rich for Billboard Music Awards' €œBest New Artist€? category. As a result of his incredible success with La Bouche, Lane has been featured on various national and international television programs. He has had the honor of working with such esteemed entertainers as Bob Hope, James Brown, Lionel Richie, Seal, Bryan Adams, Dolly Parton, Boyz II Men and Natilie Cole. His charming and characteristic humor and witty personality coupled with his passion for current events and dedication to education and social development make Lane a popular artist for interviews and public appearances. Among other credits, Lane was interviewed by Regis Philbin, performed at MTV's Spring Break "The Grind€? and has headlined for Germany's leading television music event, The Dome and France's Dance Machine. As a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Lane returns yearly to the Air Force's prestigious entertainment showcase "Tops in Blue" and has created cutting edge choreographies, developing raw talent into world class performers. His support of the troops has topped Lane's agenda€”he has participated in the USO Celebrity Circuit and feels these morale-boosting performances are among the most important achievements in his career as an entertainer. Lane's unselfish efforts were rewarded when he received the Golden Roger, a lifetime achievement award from the US Air Force. In addition to his strong musical endeavors, Lane has been actively involved with local, national and international AIDS foundations meeting with those diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. Passionate about this cause, his goal is to help educated young people on the pervasive issues and developments in AIDS research. Lane is currently hard at work completing years of reflection, inspiration and devotion, culminating with the soon to be released and highly anticipated debut solo CD "Life In The Fast Lane" a labor of love that will present listeners with the opportunity to glean intimate perspectives from the star's private life. "Life In The Fast Lane" is an elegant and classy collection of songs echoing his dance roots, his urban tinged beats of rhythm and blues, and his heart pounding ballads. Prepare to journey into the inspiring and always provocative world of Lane McCray.

 
 
 

Quentin Elias// lives in New York City,

Quentin Elias is a renaissance artist with unparalleled style and substance. His passion, talent and personality render him an artist of extraordinary ability.       But how did it all begin? Quentin was raised by his mother and older sister in the slums of Marseille, France on the Mediterranean Sea. Quentin’s mother worked hard, holding down several jobs to support her small family. She worried constantly about the influences of the neighborhood and required both of her children to participate in activities that would keep them off the dangerous streets. Quentin’s sister became involved in performing arts while Quentin participated in sports. At the young age of 6, after observing his sister’s classes, Quentin became fascinated with performing. He requested that his mother enroll him in dance classes where he studied tap, ballet and modern jazz. Quentin also regularly participated and competed in kickboxing. A lifelong career as a performer had begun!

After learning of his father’s death in a terrible car accident, Quentin decided to take control of his own destiny. At age 15, Quentin fled to Paris with little money in his pockets, but very big dreams. Quentin worked odd jobs while spending his energy auditioning for singing or dancing roles. In 1996, he was lucky enough to persevere over hundreds of other candidates for the chance to be a member of the newly formed four member boy band Alliage.

Alliage was a huge, overnight success and Quentin easily filled the shoes of lead singer and resident heartthrob. Together, the band achieved sales totaling more than 5 Million Certified RIAA receipts. Alliage recorded three albums and had six singles chart in the Top 5. They toured the world and performed at over 1,000 sold out concerts. Alliage outranked other international musicians and entertainers of the era such as Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, and a host of other groups. But, after four years, Quentin wanted to move in a different direction artistically and left the band to begin his career as a solo artist. Quentin moved to New York City where he began working with notable music industry insiders such as Nile Rogers, Ernie Lake and Junior Vasquez and, in 2001, recorded and released “Always the Last”. In 2002, he was named the Most Promising Male Singer, and was awarded the coveted Diamond Award at The Diamond Award Festival in Europe.   Continuing to perform and record, Quentin released two solo albums “Serve It Up” in 2005 and “What If I” in 2006. In 2007, working with J.Marty of the Beatdoctorz and Flash the DJ from Electro Boy Records in Los Angeles, Quentin recorded new songs and began re-working some previously unreleased material. Electro Boy Records has since pre-released the new song “Fever” and a newly  recorded version of “Always the Last” in support of Quentin’s upcoming album “Love Confusion” to be released during the summer of 2008.
