OZONNA
http://www.facebook.com/Ozonna

African-born electro popper Ozonna may have chosen an unusual way to market himself, but in today’s hyper competitive music industry it pays to be original. Even pop queen Lady Gaga used to have to stand scantily clad on tables in bars, screaming along to Black Sabbath records to get noticed. Following a string of support dates with the likes of We Have Band and Kyla La Grange, Ozonna is headlining the our showcase event .

MY YOUTH
http://www.facebook.com/myyouthmusic

My Youth, a new and exciting folk and indie duo / band based in London, England. Having influences such as The National, Arcade Fire, The XX , and Bon Iver they have created original songs that are both upbeat and heartfelt as well as being instantly relatable and accessible. Having secured a sync deal with Italian company happy socks and playing regularly around London and beyond My Youth have been turning many heads in what is still the early stages of the band. Big things to come.

“My first taste of ‘The Bug’ came when I was four years old and my parents entered me into a talent show. I sang ‘Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)’ and got a standing ovation. I’ve been on stage ever since, from school plays to violin recitals.”

Devaune also began to work professionally as a child model, appearing in Print and Television advertisements for local Department Stores. The first time He auditioned for a theatrical production outside of a school environment he was 17 and landed a lead, with mention from the Director to reporters in interviews “Devaune sings like a dream.”

“I loved to perform so much that in a summer job as a Hotel Camp Counselor, I was spotted by visiting performers from Las Vegas who caught me singing to the children in the camp. From there I had the opportunity to study Performance and Dance at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.” There, Devaune perfected his skills further, performing in productions like ‘Annie’ starring ‘All in the Family’ star Sally Struthers as Ms. Hanigan. In a review by Backstage.com for a short play entitled ‘Brother’s Keeper’ Devaune was described as “riveting” and “a bullet of a talent”. He also danced briefly in California with the Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers.

On top of all of this, writing songs has always been a constant. “The first song I wrote, I composed with my violin. However, singing and playing the violin at the same time was a massive fail. Every song I finish is a song, I can’t wait to perform. The stage is where I feel at home. I know that sounds cheesy but its the truth. The prospect of sharing my music will never cease to excite me.”
