Tom Skinner (UK)
After running away from home at a young age I tasted poverty and loneliness, I built a life for myself from homelessness and reached my goal of signing with a major label when i was 22, i think through living the way i did back then & then having to commit my life to the label was such an extreme, that i lost myself somewhere along the way, after 3 years i left music and started over again. I went back into the hostel system, i went back to sharing rooms with every kind of people,from prostitutes to self harming Aids sufferers and i loved every minute because they rid me of my selfishness and got me to like myself again. Without these experiences i would..nt have been able to write my album, so when it..s released i dedicate it to everyone thats inspired me to be a better person along the way,to my family & my other half who has saved me from myself. My album ..Eco City.. will be out later this year. I also had a massive hit out last summer which stopped Rhianna from getting to Number 1 in the Music Week Club Chart with 'Now I Found You' under my other artist name 4th Child, which was remixed by Robbie Rivera, Micky Slim and Loverush UK! plus many others!!!!

Molly Bancroft (US)
Award-winning singer/songwriter and guitarist/producer MOLLY BANCROFT has tasted quite a bit in her life so far as a musician. Starting out as a small town Michigan jazz sax player, she later moved to Boston and tested her mojo on the singer/songwriter scene, playing with many up and coming folkies at the time, until she heard Kitchens of Distinction at TT and the Bears, was blown away by the sheer thrust of guitars and force of drums - and left the solo folk world behind to form her own rock band. Molly, over many years of trial and error - developed a unique sensibility and taste for pop music that expressed the 'edges' of mainstream culture. Influenced early on by Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, Molly's ears soon were drawn to Nirvana and obscure British shoegazer bands, and eventually her own music began to reflect those influences. Over her career in music thus far, Molly has been acclaimed both in her solo efforts ('Get Closer' (2003) and 'Red Dirt Diaries' (2006 EP), and also with her band LIFT that started it all back in 1995 with three acclaimed CDs and tours opening for the Indigo Girls. Recently, a collaboration with DJs Gabriel and Dresden on a 1 Billboard hit single 'tracking treasure down' and other songs on their 2007 artist album has led to Molly's voice and catchy songwriting chops being noticed worldwide. Finding these DJs was a fluke of pure inspiration, as are most of Molly's musical connections. Her ears and soul embody some kind of need for human connection through music - yet her sensibilities are pure pop. The songs that come from such collaborations are truly magical gems that find their way into the marketplace due to talents of others, but originate in a strong desire to touch people through music that reaches the masses. Essential Tune, 'Not Alone,' Gianluca Motta feat. Molly, BBC Radio 1. ASOT 23 Song of the Year, 2006, 'Tracking Treasure Down,' with Gabriel and Dresden. ASOT 63 Song of the Year, 2006, 'Let Go,' with Gabriel and Dresden. Grand Prize Winner: Rockrgrl Magazine Discoveries Contest 2004 Nominated Best Female Performance, Starvy Awards, Nashville 2004 Nominated Best Female Singer/Songwriter Album of the Year, JP FOLKS 2004 Top 25 Demos of 2003: Music Connection Magazine, L.A. 2003 Voted best local/unsigned band in the country by MTV.com/Sonicnet -2000 Finalist Sam Goody Bandemonium (LIFT) 1999 Grand Prize Winner of Discmakers Southeast Showcase 1997 (w/ LIFT)
