Description:
Midnight Mirage: MIDNIGHT MIRAGE consists of five young musicians who migrated from all over the U.S. to Hollywood to make music together. Combining aspects of pop, soul, rock, and R&B, singer/songwriter/frontman TS and his band have produced a number of catchy tracks that will get you on your feet! Their songs' blunt, meaningful lyrics speak hard truth that their audience can relate to. "Our goal is for every fan to forget about today, yesterday or tomorrow and just live in the moment -- at least while they're with us", says TS. MIDNIGHT MIRAGE has worked with executive producer Kevin Savigar (Rod Stewart, Josh Gracin, The Cheetah Girls) for over a year. The blend of songs they've created has been inspired by some of their favorite musicians, including One Republic (Ryan Tedder), Maroon 5 (Adam Levine), Pink, Gavin Degraw, Jason Mraz, The Rocket Summer and The Script -- to name just a few. The band is supported by managers Nick Lippman of Lippman Entertainment (George Michael, Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas) and Bonnie Gallanter of Muse Artist Management (Jesse McCartney, The Broadway Kids, T-Squad). MIDNIGHT MIRAGE'S key tracks on their debut album include songs that speak the truth about their young life experiences and relationships: “Life is a Party”, rejoices in not taking yourself too seriously; "Thanks for the Advice," a rebellious, sarcastic break-up song; "Scars," an emotional song about overcoming heartbreak; and "Just Like That," a soulful song about defying change. Other songs cover topics ranging from hypocrisy to wishing that society would find its humanity.
Noah Hunt: Noah Hunt, Originally from Seattle WA, Moved to LA in 2010 to peruse acting and music. Since then he has release 2 EP's on iTunes ("From me To You" as well as "Ex's & Oh's") and is getting ready for a third.

Letters and Lights: Letters & Lights is a dynamic pop/rock band from Seattle, WA.
Dylan Jakobsen: Dylan Jakobsen is a solo artist based out of Seattle, WA. Since starting out in the Spring of 2010 as an acoustic myspace musician, Dylan slowly began to grow as an artist and work his way to the top of the scene. Making a name for himself not only locally but nationally, Dylan has been invited to participate in huge opportunities such as receiving a highly coveted spot on the SXSW festival in Austin TX, touring the western US in summer of 2011, and been a supporting artist for acts like Go Radio, This Providence, He Is We, The Dangerous Summer, Plug In Stereo, and Ocean Grove. Joining Dylan on stage are Bernardo Olivas, Sten Johansen, Kenny Lu, and Chris Dini who add the finishing touches to an unforgettable live show that will leave you wanting more.
Taylor Mathews: Direct from a national TV series and tour, Taylor Mathews, 20-year old singer-songwriter from Alexandria, LA is a major up-and-coming artist in the music/touring industry. He is steadfastly pursuing his ambitions of becoming an accomplished singer, songwriter and musician. He has a very supportive family including his father, a fellow musician, mother, brother and a sister, and prior to his career in music worked part-time at a local law firm in his town when he wasn’t in school or rehearsing with his band. Taylor picked up the guitar at age 13 and passionately played and wrote songs for the next several years, along with singing and performing for anyone who would listen. With a little encouragement from his friends and family, he auditioned for a major national TV series. The judges and producers listened and immediately loved what they heard which landed him on the nation's most popular summer show, America's Got Talent. Walking onto the national TV stage for the first time, Taylor was admittedly nervous about the 12 million viewers watching. Determined to succeed, he performed a unique and plucky guitar rendition of the classic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” which won over the three judges and the hearts of America. Heavily influenced by his favorite musicians Jason Mraz, Ryan Tedder, and Danny O’Donaghue, Taylor continued delivering fresh, original renditions of popular pop songs with his captivating voice and mesmerizing guitar playing week after week, which ultimately placed him among the top 10 finalists in the show’s finale. Following the series, Taylor immediately embarked on a national concert tour with the show’s finalists, playing large theatres to thousands of adoring fans each night. Adding to his live performance credits, Taylor, now a Louisiana hometown hero, has since played many local city and state events at venues such as the Louisiana Coliseum, and was featured as the Grand Marshall in several parades including the 2011 Alexandria Mardi Gras Parade. Taylor now resides in Los Angeles and spent all of 2011 in the recording studio with Grammy-winning producers and songwriters crafting his first EP solo album.
