Jacob Stripp

I have been playing since i was 10 years old and have been extremely influenced by guitarists Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen. I listen to a variety of music from melodic death metal like 'In Flames' to instrumental music from 'Andy Mckee' and 'Dominic Gaudious'. I try to play various styles of music to get new ideas to develop my own style of playing from funk to hard rock. I love to analyse and read music, i find orchestral music really interesting and love to learn how it was written and what idea's were used from composers such as Haydn and Tippett.

Dutch Dirty

·         Trick Daddy Music Group Presents Dutch Dirty of the Dunk Ryders!! If you're from the south, chances are you've heard something of Dutch Dirty. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and raised in South Miami, He draws his inspiration from his upbringing in the notorious Dade County neighborhood known as "The Village". He relocated to Tampa in 2004 and co-founded EN-V-US Records with Central Park native, Fred a.k.a "Monsta". A founding member of Tampa's legendary rap group Da Thoroughbreadz, he was behind the classic joints, "Central Park Hop" and "Getcha Girlfriend!” Their self-titled album release went on to sell a respectable 12,000 plus, strictly by word of mouth. However, in early 2006, shortly after the group's first national tour was announced, Monsta was re-incarcerated, leaving Dutch Dirty no choice but to continue his music career on his own. After a brief hiatus, Dutch began recording his debut solo album late last year, refusing to return to the lifestyle that got his partner caught up. He having served 6 years in prison for armed robbery, Dutch Dirty is determined to leave his mark in the rap game. Not only has he recorded alongside Atlanta's T.I., earning a coveted spot on DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz series mixtapes (DJ Drama presents The P.S.C....The Indictment), but he was also featured on T.I.'s "King of The South Tour" last year, and has toured several times with T-Pain. He helped to produce and promote Tampa's supergroup, The Tribe, and collaborated on several songs with their lead artist, Semi-Auto. Dutch Dirty has been featured in several national music magazines and DVD's, and had a starring role in an upcoming independent movie released this year, and is currently working on his debut album, which is scheduled for national release in 2011.

Based, born and raised in the suburbs of Brussels, Betty Donelly has come a long way before giving a whole new meaning to the indie rock genre, due to the sheer uniqueness of being a soft-androgyne , woman in transition ..

The Mad Pride

'The Mad Pride' is the brainchild of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Rowan Galagher. Having been compared to Syd Barrett, David Bowie, Nick Cave, Radiohead and Leonard Cohen, all attempts to pigeon-hole his music within a genre-based paradigm of stylistic reductionism have failed.

During 2009 and 2010 Rowan released 3 original albums in which he moved seamlessly from avant-garde psych-folk experimentation to neoclassical soundscapes and beyond. His DIY ethic has motivated him to play the majority of the instruments himself and record them alone in his Wollongong based apartment.

With an uncompromising commitment to emotional authenticity and a wider goal of positive social change, Rowan is driven to make honest and progressive music. He is constantly pushing the boundaries of conventional genres and seeks to forge a new platform in the contemporary musical landscape. It would appear that he is succeeding at this as, aside from the aforementioned artists, Rowan's music has also been compared to Jacques Brel, Mr Bungle, Danny Elfman, Jeff Martin, Muse, Grizzly Bear, Midlake and David Sylvian.

'The Mad Pride' is a reference to the mass movement known as 'Mad Pride'. "Mad Pride activists seek to re-educate the general public on such subjects as the causes of mental disorders, the experiences of those using the mental health system, and the global suicide pandemic."
