Jon Solo

Jon Solo is a major talent. And I am proud to say is based in South Carolina. His music is both catchy and full of musicality. Like me, he holds a deep reverence for Brian Wilson and The Beatles. Yet, he also has influences from his work in Jazz and other genres. Jon is also a producer and has recorded a variety of other artists under the banner of his production company Solosounds. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his new CD release Pop Junkie. I recently had the opportunity to do an interview with Jon and he revealed his thoughts on his career in music with a measure of eloquence that reflects the heart and soul of this multi-talented musician.

Zachary Williams

19 year old pop composer Zachary Williams, heavily influenced by the compositions of Brian Wilson, attempts to bring the notion of pop as serious, artistic music back. The 3 chord rock song, while often enjoyable, is on the outskirts of music's possibilities. Along the lines of George Gershwin and Brian Wilson, Zachary Williams feels pop music infused with an advanced level of musicality will never be dated. Williams is currently in the studio working on his batch of piano based compositions.
