Jack Evans


 
About: Jack Evans

Truth is, Jack Evans is just as real as Bugs Bunny.

There's many reasons I adopted the stage name of Jack Evans. It's easier to spell and easier to remember. Also, Jack Evans is the musician I want to be. Jack takes bigger chances than I would, is more confident than I'll ever be, and doesn't apologize when it all goes awry.

It's very freeing to be somebody else.

For most of my life, I've been a pretty awful musician. I'm self taught on piano, bass, drums, vocals - well everything. I always found it more enjoyable to write music than to practice. Playing multiple instruments has slowed down my progress - had I just stuck with the piano I may be further in my career - instead of starting over. Over the past two years I've slaved away on my instruments and I believe that I'm really starting to make some quality music. I'm nowhere near where I want to be - but I'm a lot closer now.

It's a clean slate.

There's not much else to say, I am my music. It's what gets me up in the morning and what I dream about at night. So that's what I'm doing, I'm in the process of building the perfect musician.

Miccoli


About: Miccoli

For over four years, Birmingham band ‘Miccoli’ has toured the US and the UK honing a sound that has been compared to the likes of Snow Patrol and Coldplay. Made up of twin brothers, Adriano and Alessandro, along with their sister, Francesca, they have gigged in the Viper Rooms and every other key rock venue across America. Having worked with legendary producers, they have hung out with Motley Crue, written songs, had an altercation with Paris Hilton in a toilet, been cautioned by the highway patrol, written more songs and learnt a great deal about producing their own music. What is more, they have performed at the O2 Wireless festival, written even more songs, lived in their car equipped with a mobile bar and cooker built by themselves and had one of the members of the band suffer a near fatal heart operation. They have turned down a gig for Kevin Costner, moved to Penang and landed a sponsorship deal, shot their debut video, written even more songs, performed more gigs and that is just the half of it.

They look almost too good to be true - it is important to underline this. Given what they have been through on the road, to still be in any shape at all is a victory. Their tales from adventures on the road is more akin to a thrash metal band - it is clear fate has smiled on them in many ways. Sounding like they have had hits for the last five years, the vocals of Adriano and Alessandro are threaded together by the hypnotic beauty of Francesca’s voice which is the backdrop to the tight sound they create. The beauty of their music highlights intensity and the feeling that they have indeed paid their debts to rock and roll in the most extreme ways.

Although gigging, recording and writing have been their life for the past few years, the focus is now firmly on releasing their music. This, in no small part is due to the band nearly not being here at all if Alessandro’s heart condition had proved the end rather than the beginning for ‘Miccoli’. His heart rate had escalated to 250bpm and having undergone emergency surgery he then had to have four further heart operations. This traumatic period gave the band time to regroup, rethink, get serious and to put their adventures and life experiences into context through finding solace in the studio. Re-defining their writing and taking their music to another level, all of their experiences and emotions combined into a musical cocktail that is ‘Miccoli’s’ sound of today.

Their sound also stems from a family childhood spent listening to Police, Sting, Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills and Nash. Plus, during teenage life when the idea of a band was being formulated, the brothers were working backstage as roadies and runners at one of the major arenas in Birmingham. During this period, they learnt through firsthand experience the tough nature of the industry as well as the trail of destruction that can be left behind. Yet, most of all, they were inspired by some of the greatest acts of the last ten years to develop their own music and turn a dream into reality.

The tight family unit that is a natural consequence of ‘Miccoli’s’ band set up is a major factor in creating the beautiful vocal arrangements and anthemic song structures. They follow a long line of artists who have also been from one family - whilst ‘Miccoli’s’ melodic vocals may be reminiscent of The Corrs, on occasions their attitude can be more akin to more volatile brother musical collectives. Unfortunately, the Gallagher brothers didn’t have a calming sisterly influence within their relationship.

Elev8ors



About: Elev8ors

Mark Matson & Marta Wiley both talented musicians and artists. Mark Matson producer and sound engineer for Cirque du Soleil and Marta Wiley fierce talent 100 albums and counting. Their first album together "Elev8ors" released 2012 brings a new sound to the world. This citybeat music sounds like Portishead, tricky and something all together NEW! Just when we thought it could not be done. Elev8ors is born from the popular trip-hop genre brought to the British mainstream and introduced to the American "alternative" scene.

Marks perfectionism and Marta's raw talent creates a magical formula that is spellbinding. The record is a commercial success and has attracted the ears of radio stations. Top 40 / AC / Hot AC stations. Jerome Promotions Inc., has taken on Marta Wiley Music & Elev8ors!

When Bill was 16, he pooled his money from a summer job with his brother Steve Jerome to rent studio time to produce their first record. All they needed was a group, a great song, and a record company to back them up. Not realizing that they were trying to accomplish the impossible, they found all three. That first record, “Respectable” by the Chants, sold a quarter of a million copies on MGM. Together, the Jerome brothers went on to produce over 130 records.

A chance meeting with Quincy Jones and Phil Ramone proved to be a turning point in Bill's career. "The most talented men I ever met,” Bill recounts, "invited me to several recording sessions and gave me the opportunity to learn how to produce a hit record." Less than six months later, Bill and Steve Jerome began producing a series of hits including "Walk Away, Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina" by The Left Banke (Smash Records), and "Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead" by The Fifth Estate (Jubilee Records). Their biggest selling hit, "Popcorn" by Hot Butter (Musicor Records), also featured him as a performer. All told, sales of their recordings reached over eleven million worldwide.

Bill's promotional ideas so impressed TK Records president Henry Stone that he hired him to work a then unknown artist, K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Contributing to the success of that group, as well as a number of other artists for TK, taught Bill an important lesson. "The most important thing I learned about promotion working with TK Records,” Bill explains, "is how critical the secondary radio stations are for launching new artists." Relying on his years of experience and connections in the music business, as a musician, producer, writer, and promoter, Bill decided to open his own promotion company, Jerome Promotions, in 1981. That same determination that led a 16 year old boy to fulfill his dream of producing a hit single is what fueled Jerome Promotions to be part of the hit-making process for such artists as U2, Madonna, R.E.M., The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, and Eric Clapton.

Almost thirty years later, Jerome Promotions has had successful projects with a number of major labels including Warner Brothers, Universal, Curb, Island, Arista, Capitol, Columbia, Epic, and Reprise. They have also provided opportunities for a number of small, independent labels.

What makes Jerome Promotions different from other promotion companies? "I don't know of any other promotion company led by someone with my variety of experiences,” explains Bill. "I've written songs, performed on my recordings, produced a number of hit records, and promoted countless singles for other artists. I believe that my professionalism shows in every aspect of my work. I have developed an honest relationship with both radio and clients over the years. In this business, it's not just who you know, it's how you get the job done."
