GABRIELA - Diva Gabriela was born in Brazil and has been singing, writing and dancing since the age of 5. Her travels bring her here to Los Angeles where she is now working with one of the most reputable "Team" in the Industry. Her style is R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop. She is currently auditioning for more commercial and print work and came in the top 3 for the Ms. Brazil.

ANGELIQUE- a prolific and socially conscious singer-songwriter, multi - lingual Angelique's funky neo-soul "World Bop" melange of musical styles is reflective and passionately soulful. Her penchant for writing good songs with social and universal appeal guarantee her a long and successful career in contemporary music. Angelique's star quality was evident at age four, when she made her musical debut during a class assembly in her birthplace of Alameda, California. At age 15 and with stars in her eyes, she arrived to Hollywood where Angelique bluffed her way onto the set of TV series FAME and secured a job as a singer-musician for several episodes while attending college full-time. After her stint on FAME ended, Angelique was signed to Los Angeles independent Lotion Records where she achieved local success with the disco single Rocket In The Pocket. Following Lotion's demise, Angelique joined producer Edmund Sylvers' ill-fated girl-group The Nutbuddies. Angelique's emotional and raw lyrics mesh well with her sensual voice and escort the listener into an innovative, soul stirring and spiritually eargasmic world of ecstasy. Angelique's warmth, effervescent personality in addition to her electrifying performances translate so well on the stage that even skeptics have been known to boogie in their seats. Furthermore, Angelique's international appeal and unparalleled musicianship make her one of the most exciting performers in the business. "I love performing and connecting with audiences," says Angelique. "Ever since I was a four year old diva-in-training." Learn more about her @ http://www.angeliquemusic.com/
