Capelle was formed in 2006 by Australian native, London resident Nic Capelle. And it all happened by a stroke of good luck. Having newly arrived in London Nic entered a track 'Looking in a Mirror' in the O2 Undiscovered competition. He promptly forgot about it and a month later was told he had made final selection as the wild card entry. And although he didn't win the competition it was the catalyst for propelling him from being a producer into a live rock electro band.

Since then the line-up of musicians has been on an album-by-album basis. This allows Nic to choose the best people for live performances or album's that he's working on.

The band's first album 'Money now, Money How, Money When' was released in 2008. It's an eclectic mix of sounds with an accomplished production polish. It was all recorded in a South London Victorian terrace house and produced by Nic.

Their Second album 'Crooked Deluxe' is due for mainstream release in 2012. It features a hidden remix of the album's single 'Muscle Car'. This album hangs together more succinctly than the first and sees a maturity in Nic's song-writing and a return to a slightly grittier production value. It was also recorded in Nic's house in London.

In 2011 the band embarked on their first US Tour and filmed a documentary of their epic journey across America in a rented RV. Starting in LA they drove across the country to New York, stopping everywhere in-between. They explored the roots of their sound as they went and jammed with some incredible artists. Through the documentary gave a very raw and honest insight into the touring process and just how tough it is to make it in the music business. The documentary Capelle 'All Roads Lead To America' is due for release in March 2012.

Live the band has a powerful energy and their set list takes the audience on a journey from rock through to electro. Highlights off the upcoming album are Muscle Car, Louder, Selfish Fools and Memory.

It's a big live sound most at home on larger stages, but equally exciting and energetic on smaller intimate stages too. Nic's vocal delivery and range is unique and impressive, with a healthy dose of machismo, he's an engaging performer to watch.

When it comes to emerging male pop stars, you really can't find a brighter supernova in-the-making than Missouri native - Adam Tyler. Having being a "music kid and pop geek" throughout his teenage years, Adam Tyler found albums by the likes of TLC, The Fugees, Madonna and a starring role in a local production of "Cat In The Hat" to be a far more enriching experience than any lesson a high school textbook could ever teach. From the life-changing moment he saw The Spice Girls ignite the stage on the MTV Music Awards in 1997; a very young Adam Tyler knew right then and there that being a pop star was not only a dream, but the only profession of choice for him.

Having attended Berklee School of Music in Boston couldn't even teach Adam the lessons he needed to become the next Robbie Williams. At a time when pop music was disguised under the ruse of adult contemporary like Snow Patrol - real British pop music by the likes of Kylie Minogue had very little impact against the mass market appeal of Rock, Indie, R&B, Urban and Country -- all of which are still powerfully dominant in the American music industry today. The struggle to be a household name in pop like N'Sync or Britney Spears seemed like a fading dream and Adam Tyler quickly found himself being the musical outsider.

Deciding to take advantage of his youth and believing that pop music is truly all about coupling songwriting and well-executed production with cutting-edge imagery, Adam decided to leave Berklee in 2008 and pursue his dream of breaking the UK. Whilst setting up a plethora of auditions and contacts via Facebook, Adam bravely got on a plane by himself and headed out to the pop capital of the world -- London. However his honesty got the best of him at the immigration counter and no sooner than Adam arrived at Heathrow Airport, he immediately found himself being sent back to America that same night of his arrival, leaving his pop dream shattered.

Not being deterred by his own ambition, Adam then moved to Los Angeles to join the legions of hungry performers and immersed himself into crafting a solo pop career. His first demo album "Lullabies For Rattlesnakes" garnered himself a loyal group of fans hungry for an official release. Soon after, Adam delivered in way of his debut music video for electro-pop track "Friction" which quickly caught the attention of many leading international pop music blogs. It was this online buzz for Adam Tyler that saw the quick formation of street teams overnight, not only in America, but in countries like the UK, Germany, Brazil and Sweden.

When it comes to conquering the world of pop, Adam Tyler's long standing ambition on the road to stardom is to prove that "pop music has depth" and this ethos remains passionately rooted in his musical art. Enigmatic icons such as Lady Gaga achieving commercial success is certainly helping redefine and catapult the perception of pop music back to the relevance and sheer excitement it garnered in the 1980s.

Adam Tyler's debut album "Shattered Ice" is a glorious definition of what pop music truly is all about today. The album brings together a community of vibrant and diverse pop loving fans from around the globe who understand that pop will never be passé and will always remain a provocative and emotive genre as a true sign of the times. The time truly is now for the world to be formally introduced the exciting new pop star that is Adam Tyler.

Adam Tyler's new single "I Won't Let You Go" is out now.

With edgy, intelligent lyrics and hypnotic melodies, Abby Ahmad's music is as passionate as it is profound. Bridging genres of folk-rock, blues, and alternative, Abby's percussive guitar style and arresting vocals captivate and challenge her audiences. Emotionally-charged, yet playful, she is at once in your face and in your heart.

Curriculum, (the follow up to her acclaimed debut, The Rearview), marks a metaphoric and musical evolution. Inspired by the thrilling yet frenetic challenges of being an emerging musician in NYC, Curriculum documents the path to independence (both musical and personal) navigating the many lessons learned along the way.

The album's production values were crafted with a similar mentality. Abby teamed up with Brooklyn-based producers Mark Marshall and Nathan Rosenberg. Together, they have produced an organic, searing portrait of sound and emotion.

Adding to the album's sonic maturity and authenticity are a stellar lineup of NY musicians including Clark Gayton, Steven Bernstein, and Erik Lawrence (who comprise the horn section for legendary musician Levon Helm) and Grammy Award winning multi-instrumentalist, Michael Leonhart.

With integrity, guts, and skill, Abby Ahmad breaks new ground in the realm of independent music.

"Abby Ahmad is one of those rare talents who is at the ideal position in her artistic journey when craft, skill and talent have all developed to an equal point and coalesced into a magnificent apex of achievement. Her latest album, CURRICULUM, is easily on par with the works of Dylan and Dickinson or even Plath. "
-Allen Foster, Songwriter's Monthly
