ALLOW TO ME INTRODUCE Elesia !!!

Australian born, half Japanese Elesia Iimura, would be best described as a soulful blend of Hip Hop and R&B. Inspired by a rich diversity of renowned artists, from Lauren Hill to Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Mary J Blidge, Faith Evans and Aaliyah, Elesia’s musical style is set to raise standards in the industry.

From the age of 5, Elesia trained herself vocally. As her talent progressed, so did her interest in song writing, then from the age of 21 she began to play with musical composition. The talent developed from this mixture of aspects has created a highly qualified foundation for super stardom.

As a much loved solo artist, professional third party experience has always been an essential part of this journey. Brisbane producers, sound engineers, and vocal trainers of international standard have assisted Elesia in finetuning her existing talent.

Currently a leading vocalist of the nationally renowned Million Dollar Babes (www.milliondollarbabes.com.au), this Brisbane based group of entertainers has placed Elesia in the limelight for the past year. Such experience has helped her gain immense confidence necessary for public appearance.

On a promising road to the completion of her album, Elesia’s debut will definitely ensure a certain future. She has recently been given the once in a lifetime opportunity to perform live and solo on behalf of the one and only R&B group sensation “Boyz II Men”. Keep tabs of her myspace page, as it will be updated regularly with new tracks, photos, and up and coming events and shows.

“As with any human endeavour perseverance is absolutely essential if one is to attain excellence”

Hip Hop is something you live, not just something you do- Kris Parker”
Never a truer word was said than when KRS-One uttered those immortal words and for the last seven years OP and Shortie, a.k.a. DIRTY MOB, have embodied The Teachers lesson, culminating in the Brisbane based brothers preparing to kick down the door upon which opportunity is knocking.
With a unique sense of style and individuality fuelled by a true love of Hip-Hop and inspired by the likes of the Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Mos Def and Scribe – DIRTY MOB look to ride the tsunami that is Australian Hip-Hop right now, capitalising on the commercial success of their contemporaries with their own honest, raw and often mischievously irreverent approach to the genre with tracks that span from hard-edged street anthems to club bangers.
Over the last five years in the studio, DIRTY MOB have built a loyal local following that has seen them release two full-length independent albums, 2 mixtapes and an EP, appear on Universal Music Australias Blazin 4 compilation, Major Flavours and Warners Selebrity compilation, host numerous Hip-Hop nights within Brisbanes urban community and perform as support acts for international acts such as 50 Cent, G-Unit, DMX, Obie Trice, Kelis, Busta Rhymes, K-Ci + JoJo, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and 2005’s Roc Tha Mic tour (featuring Ja Rule, Chingy) amongst others.
Currently Dirty Mob is in talks with several major labels, look out for the official debut album from in 2007 once Shorty and OP have sifted through the seventy-odd track (and growing daily) catalogue they’ve recorded thus far!

ONE OF THE ONLY AUSTRALIAN PRODUCERS I RESPECT

A BIT OF REALITY FOR MOST YOU AUSTRALIAN PRODUCERS YOUR BEATS SUCK BIG TIME

Styalz Fuego’s international credits to date include tracks for Chamillionaire, Kelis, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Kool G Rap, Grafh and many more. In addition, Styalz is currently working on various projects with Miami’s mixtape king DJ Smallz and several major label projects in the USA and Europe.

Given recent local and international success, Styalz has also moved to found and direct the Affinity Music Group, a collective of artists, musicians, songwriters and business people, who aim to further develop musical talent of a comparable quality. Affinity Music was established in 2005.

Born as a true 80’s baby, it is the progressive sound of that era that strongly inspires Styalz’s production and in turn, gives the Affinity Music Group’s its energy and unique swagger. As key influences, Styalz cites contemporary producers Timbaland, Brian Michael Cox and Rodney Jerkins, in addition to producers of past eras such as Gamble & Huff and Van McCoy.

However, there is little question that the varied and intense musical apprenticeship of his formative years have also deeply informed his sound, which in turn has pioneered to a large extent the scene of an entire nation – a rare commodity indeed.

For Styalz an intense desire for international success has informed a relentless drive to higher levels of achievement; Styalz Fuego truly is a producer of the highest order, with both the expertise and passion to expand his influence without boundary
