​David Amezaga has an appreciation for music that's passionately diverse. Growing up in Peru he experienced music such as classic rock and funk as well as the Latin beats that surrounded him. David moved to Maryland when he was 9 years old. Here his music interests evolved as he played at churches and in local bands. As an adult David enjoys playing genres including jazz, gospel, rock, pop, R&B and blues.
David has obtained a B.A. degree in music in which he learned music theory and received the tools needed to teach, perform, arrange, and compose. While completing his undergraduate degree David served as the college's music director. Here he directed several bands and global tours and arranged music for an album. David recently moved to Los Angeles and has begun working with various rock, pop, jazz, and gospel bands as he continues to expand his musical repertoire. Playing funky harmonies, beautiful scales, custom sounds and lead lines are only second nature to. Technical skills are one thing but finding a player that has the ear to write new parts over specific melody lines is a much harder task. Expect him to be rockin a wide range of keyboards - MOTIF, ROLAND, KORG & NORD are just a few of his favorites.

Paris Cimone
This is the start of something great. We have a hot new rap,pop & alternative sensation PARIS CIMONE who is preparing to drop his first solo debut album/ep titled CIRCUITRY. But not before he drowns the world in his pod piper like tunes one single at a time. Where did Paris come up with such an electric & eye catching title? we ask. Well maybe from his father Multi platinum producer SAM BOSTIC his first album was also titled CIRCUITRY. I know you all remember SAM BOSTIC producer of E-40's (Element of surprise & In a major way) also the producer of 2 Pac Shakur's (All eyes on me & Me against the world.) I have to say the apple didn't fall to far from that tree, because Paris is definitely getting ready to burn up the charts with his hot new single GIRLFRIEND followed by a whole lot more pop/rap & alternative music written, arranged and maybe even produced by the young industry mogul. His debut single GIRLFRIEND is definitely starting to become not only the talk of the town but of the world. It's crazy right? with only 7 strong consistent and independent years in the industry Paris has done things that allot of young artist can only dream of. He's worked with many artist both major and independent he's also done shows across the states. Paris has recently acquired a large international fan-base in the short 8 or 9 months that he's been releasing music, interacting with fans and promoting himself (via) Twitter, Myspace, Face Book & YouTube. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that the name Paris Cimone will be the next big household name and for a very very long time. We asked Paris How did he feel about finally recording his first big project? Paris says "Well the project isn't finished untill it's MULTI PLATINUM but so far the writing part of this project is allot different then previous projects simply because of the change in genres". Paris also says "But the actual recording for this project is 1 of the most inspirational and emotional moments in my career mainly because of the heavy support that I received from my family fans and friends while I humbly live out the music that I'm writing and recording". Powerful and inspirational words from the young talented pop star just make sure you all become fans and really support great music. So here he stands ladies & gentlemen the debut of our future one of the great living legends of his generation. PARIS CIMONE...
