Marc Supsic

I co-founded a band in the nineties and aimed for a recording contract. For almost ten years, we played in the eastern US and recorded in professional studios. We made four albums and a single for an Indie label, but broke up in 1998.

The music industry left us weary, but I continued making music on my own terms. I've released two independent albums, written hundreds of songs, made two videos and I'm still going.

ARIEL

Ariel is not afraid to be powerful. She's not scared of being "too much" or of her creativity galloping apace like a wild horse. Rapture and release is what it's all about. Her attitude towards life is "Do it for the joy!"Ariel's sound ranges from dramatically-charged ballads to upbeat pop-rock with a bouncy 80s feel, summery and melodic. Intense cris de coeur and carefree, let-you-hair-down music that chases your troubles away.As a vocalist she has an intriguing, quirky and distinctive voice, sharp and clear euro-soulfulness, with a histrionic edge of excess that holds your attention like Kate Bush. Comparisons have been made to Heart, Grace Slick and Martha Davis.

As a performer, Ariel's presence is fierce yet vulnerable. She can equally conjure take-charge attitude and ethereal languor.

Jennifer Berdetta

Music is like breathing, it's who I am. Every word that I sing must have meaning, whether I've written the lyric or am singing another writers words. I'm experienced in the studio & on stage, dedicated, fiercely determined, hard working & sincere about the music, the people I work with & the friends & fans that support my work. I'm loyal, never take anything for granted & value every dollar invested in me.

I'm thrilled to be on SAB & look forward to reaching 50k together with all of my supporters here!!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this & for coming by here to see what I'm about!

Jennifer Peterson

Jennifer Peterson has developed a loyal following of listeners who enjoy her honesty and ability to connect with the audience. Her live performance is powerful with bold lyrics, contagious melodies, and a song-writing style that upholds a tradition of powerful women in music like Joni Mitchell & Carole King. The musicians who tour with her are just as compelling: Randy Morris plays infectious melodies on guitar with a unique style that varies from hauntingly beautiful to quirky. Zara Zaharieva, a fiery Bulgarian,  mixes styles of jazz and gypsy Jennifer has been working on a collection of fresh songs with new inspiration. She has been a regular guest singer with Lowen & Navarro and has opened for Kenny Rogers, Emerson Drive, Billy Currington, and Gretchen Wilson.
In today's musical panorama of stereotypical divas and bubble-gum pop, Jennifer Peterson fills a void. She is genuine, passionate, and shares a real connection with her audience.
to create her own flavor of Americana violin.

Sofi Garcia & BONNIE

BONNIE is a Uruguayan band, born in march 2007, when a group of old friends got together just to make good music. We started playing classic rock covers in private parties and different clubs, while working on some creations of our own. Seeing that people are taking interest in our music, we started to work hard to make more and better songs

When we found this website we did not hesitate to be a part of it as it is a one in a life time opportunity to show our music to the world and hopefully fullfil our dream of recording a top quality record.

Liza Lee

Liza Lee is the Dream Teams New York City based singer and songwriter. Her last jazz CD "Scarlet Mark" garnered amazing reviews and gained her a higher profile on the worldwide jazz scene. Liza's newest jazz project "Anima" is due to be released in the late fall of 2008. "Anima" will benefit "The Society For Women's Health Research".
Liza is also excited to be recording her first completely original music project “Houses of Detention” with Producer, guitarist and composer Joe Davi [Mya (Interscope), Akon (Universal), Foxy Brown (Universal), Noreaga (Penalty), Big Punisher (Loud), Kelis (Jive Records), Remy Ma (Universal) as well as Neyo and Jennifer Hudson] has signed on as producer and has helped to pen a few of the tracks. 
"I sing and write because music keeps me alive. I do this because of all of the songs that have saved me. I am hoping to write a few of those songs and catch someone else who may be sinking slowly or may in fact be running toward their demise. I sing because it is eases the gap between others and myself. This job enables me to try on other people’s lives and stories and let others relate to my own. My mouth loves the feel of words. My body loves the throb and sway of music. My being knows that it is indeed connected to yours through this magical medium. And that is a pretty darn good reason if you ask me."

Monika Thomas

I was born in Krakow, although I now live with my Welsh partner Paul in the UK. I have been composing music since the age of 16, it is my lifetime passion.

Like many people on here, my dream is to have my music recorded in a professional studio. I have recently released my debut CD album which is all in Polish and produced by myself. I am now writing songs in English.

It would be fantastic to find people who believe in me and who are keeping their fingers crossed for me at all times... I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart everyone who buys a part of this to help to make my dreams come true.
 
 

Katie Thompson

I'm a 21 year old singer/songwriter from a small West Coast town in New Zealand!!!

My father is a drummer, my mother dabbles with the piano, my brother is in his 2y at Jazz School, and my extended family is also very music - so what choice did I have but to playI started out in school choirs, then into the school orchestra  on percussion, and then a rock band (drums). However, I was singing at a local jam night when everyone decided that I could (actually) sing - and it all just blossomed from there.

 I have been the drummer for a rock band, singer in a country band and shameless self promoter as a soloist!!! HEHE GO ME!!!Early 2007 I travelled to the Tamworth Music Festival, where I entered in the Bundaberg Rum Jazzer Quest and won Senior overall. Amazing!!!

 I'm currently in the process of recording my first album over in Christchurch - bit of a travel but it will be worth it to finally have something to show the world!!! Can't wait to get the tracks up here. Will be ready for sale early Jan09 - but hopefully I can put some up well before then!

Since meeting Haydn and Oxana my life has completely changed. I've experienced many great opportunities. I have performed and worked with amazing musicians, recorded at Strongroom Studios and had the pleasure of working with Haydn Bendall himself.I also dedicate my time to helping Macmillan Cancer support. Knowing people that have survived cancer I perform at conventions, events and any charity to help raise awareness.

Inge M

I am a Dutch singer-songwriter who has been singing all her life. I like different genres of music. For me writing music is a way to express my feelings and emotions.
I have been writing and recording everything by myself so far, but since I joined Sellaband I hooked up with some nice artists and made some collaboration songs.
Everything I write is straight from the heart. And that is what I intend to keep doing. Making music that moves me. And hopefully others.

Sonul Badiani

My name is Sonul Badiani, I'm 21 years old and I am a very passionate singer-songwriter. I hope you like my music and lyrics...This is me, in my songs and in the compositions...it is myself exposed. I have decided to put up only unprofessional photos so that everybody here can see the real me, as I am and who I am.
A little about myself as a musician: I compose all the music and have been fortunate to have been helped along the way by some extremely talented musicians and producers such as Haydn Bendall and Aaron Wheeler. I play lots of instruments- the piano, clarinet, guitar and piano... and in all the recordings you hear it is me playing.
A little history: I've been singing and recording for a while and I used to be developed by Sony. I also released Be The Man as part of an album sponsored by Arsenal and I had the pleasure to sing for the team and Arsene Wenger! If only i was a football fan... :p However, I then decided to take some time out and figure out what I want.. and what I want is to create beautiful music that people can really appreciate. I hope Sellaband can provide that creative platform.
 

The Jade Diary

The Jade Diary is an Australian band with an evolving pop-rock sound infused with lush melodies and insistent, soul-searching lyrics. It all began, in an idyllic but isolated city called Perth, when Cheryl Lim decided to form a band called Opus Red alongside Renee Sherlock and others, playing unique covers from Summertime to Sweet Home Alabama. It was fun while it lasted, but after Opus Red disbanded, the passion that Cheryl had for creating music never went away. Many songs and Kleenexes later, she decided that she would give it another go - but this time, it was not going to be another serious hobby. This time, it would mean plunging into a business well known for wannabes and near misses. A crazy idea, but it had to work. So she enlisted the help of Renee, keyboardist and songwriter, and together in November 2006, they started The Jade Diary.Consisting of Renee Sherlock on keyboard, Joshua O’Keefe as lead guitarist, Aylwin Lim, drummer, and Cheryl Lim, lead vocalist, all members share a love for songwriting.2008 is a significant year for The Jade Diary and has seen the recording of the band’s debut EP, “Landscape of Dreams”. From the surreal realms of the subconscious mind to professions of undying love, the EP is an infectious and eclectic fusion of pop, folk and rock. The songs ambitiously feature themes of melancholy, joy, desire, loneliness, and of course love. Expertly produced by Rob Agostini who has worked with Blanche Dubois, Monique Brumby and Nick Barker, and mastered by Steve Scanlon (Kate Ceberano and Diesel), the songs have been fleshed out with breathtaking harmonies and arrangements featuring ambient keyboards and guitars. As one listener said, “what's notable about The Jade Diary is their truth, honesty and raw emotion that channels through each song, and what I find is their greatest strength is that the tracks all provide an insight into the deepest emotions and feelings so many will experience in their life.”
