John Cassese’s official biography: 

The Santa Monica, California based dance instructor/choreographer, known as The Dance Doctor, believes everyone has the ability to dance, and he and his team lead the way teaching others to trip the light fantastic. With a true appreciation for the arts, Cassese’s talents are diverse and varied. Not only is he a nationally recognized dance instructor who has trained such celebrities as Adam Sandler, U2’s The Edge, Elizabeth Hurley and Sir Ben Kingsley, he is an accomplished singer and entertainer. Involved in several facets of the arts including singing, entertaining, choreographing for film, stage, television, video and private parties, as well as producing and performing dance demonstrations, Cassese is a modern-day renaissance man. “Singing is always something I have focused on and has always been a big part of my life, but because I was dancing and teaching dance so regularly, I put my singing career on the back burner; though it was never, ever far from me. It has always been, and will always be, a great passion.” Here, for the first time ever, we are pleased to present John Cassese Music; a collection of John Cassese’s recordings, from cover songs to some very special original material. These songs will make you feel happier, put joy in your heart and a spring in your step. The first CD available on iTunes is entitled, “Never Too Late” and it features some of the most touching, emotional and romantic songs. Sing to them, dance to them or do both. We could all learn a lesson or two about living life to the fullest from John Cassese. Like his album’s name, remember it’s never too late to reach your dreams.

Originally formed in 2006, the Ill Funk Ensemble's sound is a new type of Funk infused with Hip Hop and Rhythm & Blues, a sound that isn't overly dated, but rather a hint of new swagger combined with old school. Lead by Jermaine Wells vocals, he delivers a smooth vibe of freestyle and melody along side with BJ FitzGerald on guitar and vocals, Duane Etienne on bass and background vocals, then there's Joe Stoner on keyboards and background vocals, and finally Dennis Brooks on percussion. Together, they bring a groove that is both engaging and refreshing.

Today, we're featuring five bands which were the most recent additions to rotation on KGUP 106.5FM "The Emerge Radio Networks" from five different genres.

The first featured song is by a Metalcore band from San Diego, CA. This is their newest release from their brand new album, Collide with the Sky and it's called, "King for Day featuring Kellin Quinn"by Pierce the Veil.

Next is a brand new single by the band Haster called, "You'll Never Know". Haster is a Hardcore metal band from Orange County, CA. They were a Final nominee at the 2012 Artists In Music Awards for Best Metal Band.

The third song is by a Punk band from Los Angeles, CA and it's called "Parallel" by Implants. If you like Tiger Army or Bad Religion, they bring some of that old sound back. 

The fourth song is a cover by David Geftakys a Rock artist from Sherman Oaks, CA. The song is "Name" original recorded by Goo Goo Dolls. It's not on the album, but you can find it on his YouTube channel and his website.

The fifth and final featured song on the compilation is "She's Fearless (Reprise)" by The Ill Funk Ensemble. Their sound is a unique style of Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, and Funk wrapped up into one, hence the name "ensemble".

Today’s featured guest is a multi-award winning Folk/Rock artist from Poway, CA. While it says he lives in Los Angeles, CA, his real home is on the road and on a stage at a venue near you.

Having toured and played in all 50 states, he was recognized for this accomplishment with an award for National Solo Artist of the Year, plus he was invited to perform at the 2011 Phoenix Music Awards.

Willie Ames has been honored for several other awards and accolades including two awards at the Los Angeles Music Awards in 2010 and 2011 for Solo Artist of the Year and Instrumental Artist of the Year, plus he received another nomination for Hot Adult Contemporary Artist for the 22nd Annual Los Angeles Music Awards which coming up on November 15. 

You might be asking, “how is a man whom I’ve never heard of is gaining so much attention?” Perhaps, it’s his honest lyrics and guitar play with a genre that is slowly dying from mainstream radio. As the younger generations are flocking towards more flashy scene with the likes of Hip Hop, Dubstep, and Metalcore, but the truth is, Folk Rock has never gone away. In fact, it’s more popular than ever. We just don’t hear it on the radio as often as we should.

Since the age of 5, Willie Ames has been developing his skills as a precision guitarist with the ability to play several string instruments including the 5-string banjo, steel guitar, and any current or classical guitar around. In his latest album, Night Owl, Aames demonstrates his finger picking style throw out, especially in songs like Human Race, Night Owl, and in the Fleetwood Mac cover, “Never Going Back Again”. 

Throughout the 10-track album, there is distinct inspiration of musical greats like Lindsey Buckingham of Fleedmac, Dire Straits, even the vocal style of John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater, so if you enjoy music that is both modern with an American Folk Rock fusion, then you will absolutely enjoy the sounds of Night Owl by Willie Ames.

Chance You Take is a young group of guys from Baltimore, MD with Chris Meagher on Vocals, Michael Meagher on Guitar and Vocals, Adam Christopher Henderson on Bass and Vocals, Bryan Kotcher, on Guitar, and Mikey Knaus on Drums.

Together, their music compares to the likes of All American Rejects and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, but they also have a Top-40 Pop Rock side to them that compares them to One Republic, The Fray, The Script, and Keane. 

While this band is brand new and completely off the radar, their music is quite the contrary. Their newest single, “Love Again featuring Da Kid Emm” is of course, a love song, but it is much more. Perhaps to the typical metal fan, it is too “cheesy,” but not bubble gum enough to turn away the typical music lover. In fact, the song is a quite catchy and more mature than you might think. It might even be the perfect song if you’re longing for a good old fashion pop-love song. You might even find yourself singing along in your car and getting tons of attention with either shaking heads or smiles pointed your direction. They’ll be flipping through their FM dial with attempt to find what song you’re listening to, but they won’t find it. …at least, not yet anyway.

Recently released is their 5 song EP. It has a combination of love songs followed by songs about life’s lessons. Some are upbeat like, “Love Again” and “Using You” and other songs are ballads. While it may appear to be redundant from the outside, don’t just assume there is no diversity, because there is. You might be surprised how good this entire EP is.

The Barren’s is unlike most bands you will encounter. They do not easily fit within any specific genre category. Rather, they conform to many including Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock, Alternative, and Rock, blending the familiar sounds of Pink Floyd, the Ramones, The Pixies, The Shins, Radiohead, and Temper Trap.

Founded in upstate New York, Debbie Chou, Colin Fitz, Chris Gersbeck, Mike Koene, and Jay Sharp relocated in New York City to pursue their music careers as The Barrens. 

The Barrens has one previous EP called, Worming. Three years later in 2011, The Barrens released their latest and full length album and simply called it, The Barrens. 

The LP begins with the title, “Claw Remains,” a very pseudo Pink Floyd song, then transitions into a very psychedelic, yet heavy metal track called, “Felt” which has an almost Black Sabbath sound with a thunderous guitar introduction played by Colin Fitz (Fitzgerald), Mike Koene, and Debbie Chou. When the song breaks into vocals, it’s hard not to compare Fitz’s voice to Black Francis of the Alternative Rock band, the Pixies.

In the next track called, “Bottem of the Well,” the band takes a new direction and delivers a sound that is both indie rock and perhaps surf rock-esk, that is more harmonious and less heavy metal, because the song is up beat, fast paced and appears to include the vocals from all five members of the band.

“In and of Ice” is not just a song, but also a journey as they incorporate the bass drum, tambourine throughout the song. Include the angelic voice of Debbie Chou, and you have a unique yet enjoyable song from beginning to end.

The entire The Barrens album is hard to turn away from. Without being aware, you might find yourself listening to every track again and again. Why? Simply because its unpredictable. There are a lot of hills and valleys and when you think you have them figured out, they change in another direction, making it even more enjoyable then the previous song. While The Barrens may fall outside of the mainstream formula, you will be compelled to give it a second glance or you may do what I did and find yourself listening for hours and hours, not realizing you were caught in a “barren” trance. 

Listen to the full interview with The Barrens on The Great Unknowns Presents with Mikey Jayy, originally aired on KGUP 106.5FM “The Emerge Radio Networks”.

Today on The Great Unknowns Presents, we have R&B, Singer/Songwriter, Producer, and Publicist, Kyle Gattison.  

The name Ilhame Paris alone says it all. In Arabic, the name “Ilhame” means “inspiration”. 

When you are in the presence of Ilhame Paris, you’re not just drawn to her voice, or drawn to her by her incredible beauty, you are drawn by her intense spirit as a wonderful human being. Her love for life and passion for music is not only inspiring, but contagious.  

Native of Paris, France and born of Moroccan blood, Ilhame’s musical diversity not only comes from her cultural background, her musical influence comes from a wide range of sources including R&B, Reggae, French Pop, and Jazz. Some of her songs are directly influenced by artists like Luther Vandross, Bill Withers, Rose Royce, and Bob Marley. 

Two of Ilhame’s proudest accomplishments is doing very unique covers for the

songs,“Waiting in Vain” and “I’m Still Waiting” originally created by Bob Marley. Ilhame not only honors the legend with an incredible cover of the song called “Still Waiting”, but she gives it a unique perspective by singing it in French and Arabic. That’s not all! Ilhame performs the song with Marley’s son, Ky-Mani Marley. Together, they create one of the most astonishing covers by the Reggae legend.  

Ilhame’s debut album called, “Just Wish It” is filled with collaborations including Grammy Nominated R&B, Hip Hop, Electronica producer, Nicolay, and Shafig Husayn, who’s most notable work was a writer for Erykah Badu. Ilhame has also collaborated and recorded the songs with T3 of Slum Village and Rap artist, Big Pooh. 

Having opened and toured for artists like Erykah Badu, Dwele, Van Hunt, The Roots, and Questlove, Ilhame is demonstrating she has the drive and ambition to do what it takes to become one of the greatest emerging artists of today.

Coming off the release of their debut album, “Real”, unsigned band, The Controversy has seen nothing but success in such a short amount of time with several music award nominations, including categories for Best Pop Artist, Best Rock Artist, Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year.

By the end of the night, the two-person group took home the biggest accolade, the Artist of the Year trophy at the first annual Artists In Music Awards in Hollywood, CA on February 10, 2012.

In addition to the elusive title, Laura took home the trophy for LGBTQ Person of the Year, a category in which voters could vote for any person in entertainment. Hands down, Laura was the one left standing who won by a landslide with 178 nominations out of 228 total nominations. Among the nominees, people like Madonna, Ellen Degenerous, Christina Aguilera, George Takei, Lady Gaga, and JD Strait were some of the names mention, but only Laura Vall and Adam Lambert received multiple nominations. Lambert came in second with eight nominations, respectively. 

The Controversy consists of just two members, Singer/Songwriter, Laura Vall and multi-talented Producer and Musician, Thomas Hjorth. The two met when Laura Vall moved to Venice, CA from Barcelona, Spain to pursue her music career. After meeting with her producer of interest in Los Angeles, Thomas began working on her background music. Eventually, Thomas Hjorth became a vital part of The Controversy. 

.  

Originally from the Nordic country of Denmark, Thomas discovered an instant chemistry with Laura’s music and both recognized each others talents, thus began their incredible project together. By July 2011, the album was all but complete with two music videos directed and produced by Thomas for the songs, “Real” and “ Little Star”.

The album itself is a definite piece of musical art, delivering not only incredible sounds, but the lyrics alone are so engaging and thought provoking, especially the songs, “Real,” which is a song about the inners fears that all people face within. Other songs like, “Little Star” stands out because it is a powerful song about losing a significant person in her life. Along with the songs like, “So Long” and “Speak to Me,” these four tracks are enough to keep you engaged enough to continue to listen to the entire eight-track album. 

Learn more about Laura Vall and Thomas Hjorth of The Controversy in a special interview on The Great Unknowns Presents, which was aired live on KGUP 106.5FM in Los Angeles, CA.
