Maren Morris

Maren Morris has broken boundaries, smashed records, and affirmed herself as a dynamic vocalist, prolific songwriter, and showstopping performer on her own terms. Among numerous accolades, she has garnered a GRAMMY® Award, five ACM Awards, five CMA Awards, and three Billboard Music Awards. She has earned dozens of multiplatinum and gold certifications worldwide and tallied billions of streams. Her catalog encompasses a trio of acclaimed albums, namely HERO [2016], GIRL [2019], and Humble Quest [2022]. Speaking to her versatility, she’s the rare force of nature equally suited to collaborating with Zedd on the 6x-platinum “The Middle” or duetting with everyone from Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, and Sheryl Crow to Teddy Swims, Hozier, and Jessie Murph on tracks. Beyond standout late-night television performances, she notably served as guest host for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Not to mention, she has sold out tours on multiple continents, gracing hallowed stages in the process. Along the way, she also co-founded The Highwomen with Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, and Amanda Shires. In September 2023, Maren shared The Bridge, an EP featuring “The Tree” and “Get the Hell Out of Here,” and followed with a cover of Billy Idol’s classic track “Dancing With Myself” in February 2024. She entered a bold new era with the release of her Intermission EP in August, which Maren described as her “heart journey and gamut of emotions packaged into 5 songs”, covering loss, catharsis, sexuality and gratitude. After completing her RSVP Redux tour and several festivals to finish the year, Maren returns in 2025 to share her fourth albumD R E A M S I C L Eon May 9.Introduced by first singles “carry me through” and “bed no breakfast”, this album is Maren staying true to the core of who she is, and the acceptance, release, and the reclamation of her strength and her light.She says “D R EA M S I C L E became less about the hard lessons and more about enjoying the bumpy ride and finding people who genuinely want to be on it with you because they love you. It’s about appreciating and respecting the beauty and nuances of life while it’s happening, not after it’s too late.”

Lisa Lisa

One of the greatest Latin Hip Hop/Freestyle/Pop Divas to come out of the 1980’s music scene is the legendary Lisa Velez also known as Lisa Lisa of the 80’s supergroup Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam. Produced by Full Force, Lisa Lisa’s breakout hits such as “I wonder If I Take You Home”, “Can You Feel The Beat” and “All cried out” helped to launch the underground genre of “Freestyle Music” into mainstream.

Later Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam crossed over onto the pop charts with their second album “Spanish Fly” with mega hits like “Head to Toe” and “Lost In Emotion”. SHE WAS THE FIRST Puerto Rican / Latino artist to cross over to the Pop and R&B charts. Both albums shot straight up the charts to platinum status several times over with most of the album’s singles going gold at the same time. Just as the 90’s rolled in Lisa Lisa’s C&C Music Factory produced hit ‘Let the beat hit em” took off to the top of the dance charts!

Soon after Lisa began an acting career. She played the mother on Nickelodeon’s TV series “Taina”, then later made appearances on NBC’s Law and Order SVU.

Some of her biggest hits have been re-recorded by “Allure & 112, Nina Sky, and The Black Eyed Peas.

Not only did Lisa Lisa set the music bar high for those to come later but she set fashion trends as well. Born and raised in the “Hell’s Kitchen” section of New York City, Lisa’s hair flipped over one eye and her unique style caught fire in the urban community. Soon after she hit the airwaves young girls everywhere were dressing and singing like the 80’s icon.

Lisa Lisa paved the way for an entire generation of Latino American artists to follow in her footsteps such as Selena, J-Lo &   L

Cardi B to name a few. She is definitely a pioneer and a trendsetter of an entire generation.

Lisa recently collaborated with A&E Lifetime to executive produce her very first biopic airing February 2025. The story is based on her beginnings in the music industry in the mid 1980’s. The film is named after one of her biggest hits “Can You Feel The Beat: The Lisa Lisa Story!”

She is currently on tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of her very first hit single “I wonder if i take you home”.
