[From ishimusic.com] Ishi was born as an experiment between friends in Dallas, TX. In 2006, JT Mudd & Brad Dale set out to create a sound that would redefine their own voice in modern day music. Their vision was to blend the classic, soulful story-telling and organic instrumentation of traditional folk music, with the infinite sonic possibilities offered through electronic production. Experimentation quickly evolved into a journey of 
sound that would ultimately lead to Ishi’s debut, Through the Trees, released May of 2010 and Digital Wounds April of 2013.
Juno released on September, 16th for the band’s fifth independent release and the third EP of their catalog. The new collection of songs range from funk, nu disco, and indie rock bathed in the gospel of Prince/LCD Sound System. Ishi teamed up again with UK artist James Marsh most known for his creative album concepts with experimental UK band Talk Talk.
[From Los Angeles Philharmonic.com] The New York Times gracefully calls them, “The most visible yet invisible pop figures in the entire world.” Known all over the world as LEGACI, these 4 gentlemen have been wowing audiences with their harmonies and vocal acrobatics. Micah, Jason, Chris, and Del all hail from the San Francisco Bay Area and for years shared a passion to make music that moves people; and move people they did.
With over 25 million views and counting, it was Legaci’s YouTube channel and their cover of Justin Bieber’s smash hit “Baby” that got the attention of Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun. Legaci was asked to tour with Justin as his official backing group. They accepted, and since then they have 
traveled exclusively with Bieber, singing for millions of anxious fans in 22 different countries around the world. During the middle of every concert, Justin introduces Legaci to his audience and has them perform their own mix of a cappella pop melodies. Giving them the spotlight each night, Justin has Legaci appear center stage, where they show the screaming crowds that they are not just ordinary backup singers. Since their start with Bieber, Legaci has performed their medley for more than 130 of his shows.
Legaci’s fame has been steadily rising. With over 140,000 subscriptions, Legaci is recognized as one of the most popular singing groups on all of YouTube. As a social networking phenomenon, Legaci maintains over 40,000 “likes” on Facebook and over 120,000 combined followers on Twitter.
