Here's an excerpt from
Tamara Miller's interview:
MAS: What sets you apart from other artists in your genre?
Tamara: I believe I have a unique soft-pop sound both in my music and voice. Sometimes I get “your song can go country” or ... “you remind me of this teen pop star” or... “I can hear your song in a Disney film.” It’s so flattering to hear that so many different age groups/ people feel that my music can be marketed in various ways. It’s such a wonderful compliment, and I am just so thankful to be able to share my music. I really enjoy chatting with fans on Facebook and Myspace, so be sure to look me up!
Here's an except from
Michael Tocci's interview:
MAS: How do you feel when you are on stage as a comedian?
Tocci: Pretty comfortable - sometimes too comfortable. I usually can't tell if I'm doing well cuz I'm too busy being lost in my weird head. Also, I've yet to deal with a heckler. It's just gotta happen eventually. I've seen incredible comedians get heckled. There's no reason I should get away forever.
Here's an excerpt from
Lewell's interview:
MAS: Tell us how you got started as a band and how everyone became a part of it.
Lewell: I have always thought of music as the number-one love in my life. As a kid I taught myself some basic piano from listening to classical music while on holidays at my grandma's. I guess it was at that stage I realized I had a natural ear for music, and from then on I was always either secretly writing songs during my childhood or mucking around with tunes on my Dad's guitar. In 2000, I began to use a computer in my home and discovered computer-based production, as well as the network of resources available via the Internet. I worked with quite a few artists around the world.
