RedEyeRiot Trevor Perfect

Red Eye cover raw social, emotional and political issues, based on the foundation that every song should carry a message. Red Eye is centred on the music and lyrics of Trevor Perfect and features guest vocalists. Trevor plays all the instruments, slowly building up tracks and adding each instrument, layer by layer, until the song is complete. Red Eye aim to address the lack of protest songs that exists today, compared with the rich tapestry of protest songs and singers of the past. To quote Patti Smith, "it is important ... to communicate, to wake people up ... We all have a voice

Seravince

Seravince is an exciting new project from keyboardist and composer Vincent Helbers (aka Flowriders). His Hear to See album is sophisticated and effortless as its grooves seep out of the speakers. It is a deceptively fiery statement from an artist that continues to defy categorisation. This isn't neo soul, nu-jazz or any other limiting term you care to file it against. It's from the heart, well made and worth listening to from the first till last. The significant contribution of virtuoso drummer Richard Spaven (Jose James, Flying Lotus, Robert Mitchell 3io, Guru), makes for the perfect counterbalance to ensemble pieces

Phil E. Clem

Born: October 2

Phil E. Clem is all about Music without restrictions, making the connection, touching lives, taking music to new heights, creating new possibilities and stages for Contemporary Instrumental and Nu jazz. Practical connection with music began with his association with Gospel/ Church music in his high school years; beginning with drumming and then the keyboards which was the most inspiring of instruments. As the only music student out of 13 others, who could remember practically all he has been taught in piano basics after a full month of no classes, exercises, practice or rehearsals he became the only one out of the bunch who was finally taught to play the piano by ear

Dimitri Gollety

Born: December 13

Dimitri is from a family of 5 children whose parents play piano in their moments of relaxation (mother on classical pieces and father’s on jazz tunes).

He will hear daily throughout his childhood regular bossa nova and jazz vinyl records of his relatives (especially Antonio Carlos Jobim and Errol Garner).

So from 6 years old, he sat at the piano and with his sole ears learnt to re-play melodies and song themes by memory.

At 15, at decision time for the rest of his education and career, music was deeply rooted in him.

But another very inner desire to found a happy family with children led him to favor a career in engineering, safer to support its future wife and children.
