GLENN LEWIS

He took the world by storm with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album “World Outside My Window”, released world-wide on Epic Records several years ago. Now, Glenn Lewis (a Grammy nominee and Juno award winner) is poised to storm back to his rightful place in today’s current music scene. The globally heralded singer/songwriter is putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album Moment of Truth (Ruffhouse/EMI), which will feature a track with fellow Canadian Melanie Fiona. Armed with abundant enthusiasm and prolific vocal abilities, Glenn Lewis endeavours to deliver heartfelt, melodic songs meshed with heart pounding beats that are certain to strike a cord in the hearts of men and women alike. When asked about his current musical mindset, Glenn’s response was: “It’s been quite a journey over the last several years….one that has enabled me to learn and grow. I’m so grateful to all of my fans and supporters for never wavering”. All that I do, I do for them. They will not be disappointed.” This time around, Glenn Lewis’s melodious focus is to fuse the very best elements of all of his musical influences (Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Charlie Wilson, Joni Mitchell and The Beatles), and develop an album that’s organic, contemporary and original, yet reminiscent all at the same time. During a recent outing, one of Glenn’s impassioned fans playfully bellowed “The world is waiting for you Glenn!”. You better believe that Glenn hears you, and the thousands of other eager fans around the world, loud and clear. After garnering the highest praise from one of the world’s greatest wonders, Stevie Wonder himself (who personally interviewed Glenn at his radio station in L.A., and invited Glenn to perform with him at his concert in Toronto, Canada), Glenn Lewis is carefully and earnestly creating an album that his fans and industry peers will embrace. After exploring the world outside his window and subsequently coming back for more, the remarkably modest, humble and exceptionally gifted performer is gearing up to prove that he deserves to earn a place among the Music Industry’s elite vocalists. Glenn looks forward to delivering the same magic on Moment Of Truth. With a lifetime of musical exploration under his belt, there’s no doubt that Glenn’s music will speak for itself.

TANYA FIELDS

Inspired by her experiences as a single working mother living in a marginalized community, Tanya Fields founded the BLK ProjeK in 2009 as a response to sexist institutional policies, structurally reinforced cycles of poverty, and harsh inequities in wealth and access to capital that result in far too many women being unable to rise out of poverty and sustain their families. The group was nominated for a 2011 Union Square Award and Tanya has the honor of being a  Green for All Fellows, through which she connects with a national cohort of environmental justice change agents. With a Bachelor’s in Political Science from Baruch College, and a talent for public speaking, blogging and singing, Tanya has become a sought after speaker.  She provided a widely praised keynote speech at the 2012 Just Food conference, and served as a plenary panelist for the 2011 conference of the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group. Previous to the BLK ProjeK, Tanya worked with several high profile environmental organizations located in the South Bronx - Mothers on the Move, Sustainable South Bronx and the Majora Carter Group.  Tanya built upon the network, skills, resources and knowledge she gained through those experiences to create the BLK ProjeK. She is a reputed and rising public speaker and educator. She has spoken, conducted workshops and participated on panels at Just Food Annual Conference, NOFA NY Winter Conference, Manhattanville College, Kingsboro College, Brooklyn Food Coalition, NEWSAWG and others. She currently writes a twice monthly column on food and food justice for EBONY.com and contributed a chapter for the book "The Next Eco-Warriors" by Emily Hunter

AMANDA HOLLEY

Songstress, Amanda Holley has one true love and that is music relying from a

very young age on it’s strength to develop into the consummate musician and vocalist

she continues to aspire to be. Amanda engrossed herself in music day in and

day out, surviving on Whitney, Mariah, Aretha, Ella, and Billie's healing

and inspiring vocals. She first began performing at local events for hundreds

of people in her small NJ town at the age of 8, astonishing audiences with her soul,

maturity of voice and her connection to the lyrics of songs. As a teenager, Amanda

even performed with the world renowned Les Paul at the jazz hot-spot, Iridium.

As a singer and songwriter, Ms. Holley has recently collaborated for her upcoming

project with award winning songwriters and producers Rob Fusari, Andy Marvel,

Andre Fennell, Pam Sheyne, and Nikki Gregoroff to name a few.

Amanda states, "Music is who I am. I never woke up and decided to be a singer - I

always have been and always will be. I eat, sleep, and BREATHE music. I cannot

wait to share my story of tragedy and overcoming hardships. Through strength, hope,

and LOVE I want to aspire others with my music!"

HOMEBOY SANDMAN 

Homeboy Sandman is a musician. His genre is hip-hop. An emcee that prides himself on musical growth and evolution, he has adopted as his motto and creative mission statement, "Boy Sand like you've never seen him before. As usual."

Raised in Queens NY. Academic stints in New Hampshire, Philadelphia, London and Long Island. One semester short on two different graduate degrees. A couple of years of NYC Public School teaching thrown in there in between. 9th and 10th grades. Some bartending too, at the legendary Lennox Lounge in Harlem. That's where Shaft used to drink.

December 2006 he decides to cut all that miscellaneous nonsense and follow his passion. His first album came the following year.

Before signing to Stones Throw he'd already been chosen as a coach on MTV's MADE, featured in preeminent print hip-hop rags XXL and The Source, and perpetually championed on foremost online hubs. And since the signing, his accolades have extended beyond the realm of the hip hop specific. Rolling Stone has noted his "skill for wordplay that keeps you hooked." NPR has highlighted his "artful, hysterical, disobedient hip-hop that you can dance to." Pitchfork has straightforwardly dubbed him "one of the best pure lyricists around."

He writes regularly for The Huffington Post, some for Gawker. While most of his writing is music, it appears he'll write wherever a lot of people are looking. If he had an opportunity to give a speech at a huge rally he'd take that too, so more than anything else he just wants to spread the word. Maybe he just wants attention. Attention for being himself though.
