Samuel Christian....... Born in Fayettville N.C.. The oldest of four had no doubts about his career choice. Even as a young child, his mother had him performing for family. That finally paid off when he hit JR.High,and started recieving 1st prize in local talent shows, and singing the national anthem for varcity basketball games. By the time he graduated he recieved his first backround contract from the singer "Joe" who was then signed to "Mercury Records". In 1993 he left the tour and moved to Los Angeles C.A. after he met a girl on his visit to L.A.. Subsequently that same girl introduced him to "Bernard Edwards JR." now known as the producer "Focus". Focus showed showed him the L.A. music seen. After learning the ropes, Samuel decided to venture off on his own. He later met Michael Mavroles who introduced him to Sebastian Jones,owner of "M.V.P." records. M.V.P. released a compilation called "Most Valuable Players" where he released his first single "Sista Cali". The single got alot of votes from Sprite but for Samuel that just wasn't enough. Well, his luck changed in 1996 when he signed to "Loud Records". He then recorded the underground classic "The Documentary Vol. 1". One of the songs from that album was picked for a movie that Loud was doing called "Black and White". The song was " Y.O.U",Samuel Christian featuring Mos Def, that was the song that finally gave Samuel the notability he was looking for. He later went on to write, perform, and record such titles as, "MUZIK" with Knocturnal. "Can't Wait" with Sleepy Brown and OutKast. "The One" for Earth Wind and Fire. "Till your legs start shaking" for Sleepy Brown, and "Doctors Advocate" with The Game and Busta Rhymes where he wrote and is singing the hook for "Doctors Advocate", for those of you that weren't sure.

The three members consist of drummer Leith Millar from New Zealand and singer and guitarist Stewart Harding and singer and bass player Bryan McHiggins both from the UK. After more than a dozen low key gigs, 'Mirracle Box' are looking to broaden their horizons and take their band and their love of music further and increase their small but ever growing fan base.
The Morning After (currently unsigned) is a 5 piece modern rock band from Utica, New York, formed in January 2005. Driven by the powerful lyrics and lead vocals of Luke Markis (age 23), the modern rock sound is complimented with orchestral arrangements, pop-oriented hooks and explosive dynamics. Guitarist, Gary Johnson (age 22), arranged and produced the majority of the CD. The band's rock-solid foundation comes from Utica College (UC) Student Eric Putrello (age 21), who has been drumming with Johnson since early 2000. Putrello's precise dynamics and timing provide a backbone for the ambient music. UC Graduate Ryan Putrello (age 25), began as bassist in February 2005, and immediately served as a driving force in the band's sound; bringing both stability and charisma to the group. The newest addition to the group is also a UC student, Keyboardist Anthony DeSarro (age 21), who brings the live show up to speed with their heavily produced demo. DeSarro's approach brings a global edge to the sound. The results are soft melodic verses and powerful modern rock choruses; complete with McCartney influenced harmonies and soaring lead vocals reminiscent of U2. When asked to describe the The Morning After, Johnson replied, "We're on an amazing ride right now, and I'm not sure who's driving... but we're writing pop/rock songs that will hopefully appeal to a few demographics, while sneaking music in right under their noses."
