Nicholas Charles Thompson is a Singer/Songwriter based in New York City. He traffics in Acoustic Pop Rock with strong, soaring vocal melodies. His live show is as engaging as anything you'll hear on the radio these days, but much more honest and heartfelt.
They say experience begets wisdom. If that’s true then at 23 years young, Krislyn Rivera is wise beyond her years. Her experiences have become the paint for her canvas & she has the emotional scars to prove it. Creating beautiful art in the form of Pop/Rock songs, reminiscent of some of your favorite female artists in the genre. The singer, songwriter, and musician, also known as, Krissy was born in California, raised in Brooklyn, but found her voice in church. The star of the youth choir flexed her vocal muscle, and along with a strong musical influence from her Father, she was able to steer clear of the streets in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn known as “Darkside”. Krissy’s Father taught the young songstress how to play the guitar, and later on she taught herself to play piano, by following the same chord progressions by ear.
After she decided it was time to separate from the church and her first love, the choir, Krissy took her talents to the Karaoke circuit, where she was a known regular, and a well-received entertainer. Winning competitions and cash prizes, Karaoke-Krissy’s biggest windfall however would be in the form of a chance meeting with music industry manager/producer, Dennis Wynn. Dennis took an immediate liking to the young singer and decided to take her under his wing. After taking her to the studio for her first time ever, he was blown away by how fast she got accustomed to writing, recording, and playing music. “She was a natural”, said Dennis “sounding good live during a performance is important, but when you’re also able to make a song sound great after one or two takes and feel comfortable in the studio, that means you’ve got the whole package.”
Krissy Krissy’s single “Dream” debuted on iTunes March 20, 2012! The single is gaining popularity with its music video “Dream” which has over 5,000 hits on YouTube. Krissy Krissy’s second single “Suspicious” made is debut on iTunes April 18, 2012. Krissy is finishing her first EP set to be released this summer.
The Buzz Clips play a unique and nostalgic mix of hit rock songs, mainly from the 90s, with a few surprises thrown in! The genre can be best described as an infectious and energetic combination of modern, alternative and pop rock. Many of the songs will make you turn to your friend and say, "I remember this song, I haven't heard it in years!". The rest of the night is history.
Lauren Diamond is a polished singer/songwriter based out of the Manhattan, New York area. Many of her listeners refer to her as “the girl who stomps her feet and sings with passion.” Lauren is from Tampa, Florida and has sung on cruise ships, restaurants/lounges, theatre & film and then moved her way towards the New York City to further develop her strong sense of style in the folk/acoustic genre inspired by Jewel, Norah Jones and Sarah Mclachlan.
