There's no easy way to describe the immense and wildly varied talent that Billy Atwell possesses. He is a modern-day renaissance man, a multi-instrumentalist of stunning range. He's a complex composer, with deep roots in punk… and he sports a tattoo of Mozart on his arm. Billy crafts the most amazing filmic soundscapes that bring to mind the works of Bill Laswell, Cliff Martinez, and David Torn. You need to listen to a number of tracks to fully begin to understand. One moment you'll be treated to a deeply textured, multi-layered piece only to be stunned the next moment by a dark and edgy wall of sound. His music spans the entire gamut of color and emotion…and the most remarkable feat is that he plays all the instruments, creates all the loops and is the engineer as well.

         ~ Daniel House

Atwell has also explored musical venues for the stage, from Shakespeare to New York revivals of the musicals HAIR (1998) and GODSPELL (2000) with significant side trips into the eclectic and avant-garde. He has also accompanied poet/performance artist Jose Torres Tama and produced a CD of his spoken word pieces. Currently, he is seeking to expand his presence into the venue of choreography and dance hoping to find more projects as inventive as SAFFRON, a recent collaboration performed at Lincoln Center in association with the Juilliard School. To enhance his scoring efforts, Atwell has studied Music for Film and Video at New York University with Bob Garardi and is privately studying orchestration and arrangement with Edgar David Grana, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music. Atwell has also studied frame drums with virtuoso Glen Velez and is presently receiving drum lessons from Joan Osbourne/Yoko Ono drummer Billy Ward.

Full Bio here.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, like his contemporary and fellow Texan, the pianist Van Cliburn, Mr. Dieckow has become heir to the great 20th century examples of both the Russian and German schools of performance, yet his style is uniquely his own. Critics praised his poetic lyricism and full bodied spirit and his brilliant technique that is full of thunder and sparkle. Following his pre-college study with Karl Leifheit, Mr. Dieckow worked with Dalies Frantz, a student of both the great German pianist Artur Schnabel and Vladimir Horowitz, Olga Stroumillo, the assistant to Horowitz and the celebrated teacher and composer Harold Zabrack. Mr. Dieckow currently coaches with his long-time friend and mentor Dr. Ana Maria Trenchi de Bottazzi. Mr. Dieckow holds both a Bachelor and Master's degree in Piano Performance from Webster University and Eastern New Mexico University.

Robert Harari spends a lot of time in front of speakers.  He is a versatile soundman with alternating roles as composer, music producer, engineer, mixer, sound designer and instructor. 

Harari composed songs individually and collaboratively for albums ranging from rock, pop and jazz to spoken word.  He contributed soundtracks to Packer Productions’ documentary Return to Gombin, SOHO Pictures’ Look Here’s One of You, and NBC TV’s The Boy King.  Robert co-wrote music and produced the project Scaree Tales, a Halloween themed CD and created new arrangements of classic Christmas carols for Workman Publishing’s Christmas Car-i-oke which is distributed nationally.

In collaboration with Verne “Bulldog” Williams, Harari produced a series of more than 15 one-on-one interviews and commentaries that provide intimate glimpses into the lives of groundbreakers in the world of Boxing (Gerry Cooney, Buddy McGirt), Arts (Wayne Trapp) and Music (Bill Charlap).  This team released a 7-cd audio book based on the autobiography of one of America’s most famous boxers, Jack Dempsey.

Harari’s engineering credits began with Ashford and Simpson and Laurie Anderson in 1984.  Since then he engineered and mixed just about every musical genre from a capella to zydeco.  Robert produced and engineered numerous albums for the Jazzheads label.  He collaborated with NYC area musicians on primarily pop/rock projects including the debut cd from college student-run label Castle Point Records.  His producer credits continue to grow with the recent recordings by Scott Chasolen, ANGIESCREAMS and Swingadelic.  Robert has also been known to leave the console in order to lay in a few choice keyboard and trumpet tracks.  Robert continues to seek out vital new talent to produce and help grow into marketable artists.

Recently putting more focus into sound design, Harari was recently commissioned by Israeli animation studio Aniboom to create the entire audio bed for a new political satire cartoon called “The Road To The White House” to be debuted in conjunction with the 2007 primaries.  In 2005, Robert was commissioned as Sound Designer and recordist of the binaural project “The Hiding” for the Holocaust Museum and Study Center of Rockland County, NY.  The seven-minute story is experienced “through the ears of a thirteen-year-old boy” who is hidden from soldiers along with his Jewish family during WW II.  Binaural technology employs three-dimensional sound to recreate human hearing.  The project has received international accolades.

Harari logged many miles and mixed shows in many venues as the Production Manager and FOH mixer for Gregory Hines’ live performances from 1987 until Mr. Hines’ death in 2003.  In addition to the many international concert performances, Rob worked on the 2002 Tony Awards show co-hosted by Mr. Hines.  Robert also recorded all of the music for the CBS TV series The Gregory Hines Show.  Robert worked onstage and onscreen with Savion Glover for performances which include the Tony award winning Bring In ‘Da Noise, Bring in ‘Da Funk, the Barbra Streisand Millennium show in Las Vegas, the Cannes Film Festival, and the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City.  Taking the sound of tap to a new level, Robert designed the tap floor instruments and tracked the audio from Mr. Glover’s tap dancing scenes in the Spike Lee film Bamboozled.  Robert was the original sound designer and directed audio production for the world’s premier tap dancers for the first five years of the annual NYC Tap Festival.  He provided sound for many local live music shows including two sold-out performances of Israeli guitarist/composer David Broza.

Harari consulted on a variety of sound system installations ranging from theatres (The Bergen Performing Arts Center) to restaurants.  He was hands-on during the design and construction of multiple recording studios (39th Street Music, Integrated Media), as well as his own studio that has evolved from a NYC bedroom space, to a brownstone basement operation, to the current full service facility based in a professional arts complex in Weehawken NJ.  As the owner and operator of HarariVille Recording Studios, Robert has trained many audio engineers who have gone on to careers in music production and engineering.  Robert formalized his teaching role in the Fall 2005 as an instructor for the Music Business and Technology Program at Stevens Institute of Technology, College of Arts and Letters, a premier engineering university in Hoboken NJ.

In his personal life, Robert remains involved in many areas of community service.  As a board member and former President of The United Synagogue of Hoboken, Robert conceived and implemented a plan that led to the construction of The Kaplan School, a premier nursery through kindergarten in Hoboken.  He has recently been invited to be a Trustee on the board of FABA, For Artists By Artists, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to help promote the visual arts as well as music.  As a member of The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), Robert has sat on the Education Committee in New York, the only non-governor member, and aided in planning events to help educate the local NARAS membership.  He also regularly donates his time in the studio for charities such as The Robin Hood Foundation and outside the studio to Habitat For Humanity.  Rob is married to his business partner Julie Harari and they have two children, Joseph and Genevieve.

“… a soloistic drummer with a pianist’s propensity toward making music..”
-–Lazaro Vega, The Grand Rapid Press

Dion Parson is one of New York’s finest young drummers. Born June 11, 1967, in St. Thomas, Dion’s musical foundation ranges from classical, reggae, calypso, jazz, African, and pop music.

Parson’s first musical instrument was the trombone, but at the age of 15, he began playing drums, and was awarded a grant from Virgin Islands Council on the Arts to study at Interlochen Music Academy in Michigan. Upon returning home, he was selected to be the VI representative in the McDonald’s All-American High School Band. Dion later attended Rutgers University in New Jersey in 1985, where he studied percussion with Keith Copeland and William Moersch, receiving his B.M. in Music Education in 1990.

After graduation Dion moved to New York where he quickly became part of the jazz scene playing with such greats as the late Milt Jackson, Monty Alexander, Jon Faddis, Steve Grossman, Gary Bartz, Terence Blanchard, Geri Allen, Donald Harrison, Don Byron, David Sanchez, Ray Anderson, Stephen Scott, Marc Cary, Lee Konitz, Ernest Ranglin, Ron Blake, Terell Stafford, Cyrus Chestnut, Wycliffe Gordon, Babatunde Olatunji, Baaba Maal, Joanne Brackeen, Dianne Reeves, Bill Salter, Bill Saxton, and Steve Turre. His association with these musicians has taken him well beyond US borders on tours to such places as Japan, Europe, Canada, the West Indies, Africa, and the Middle East.

Being exposed to these great musicians enabled Dion to record for several major labels, including Columbia, Sony, Gramavision, Arabesque, Blue Note, Verve, Enja, Koch Records and Concord Records. His recording experience and close association with fellow St. Thomas native Ron Blake led to the birth of Tahmun Records, which housed his first recordings as a leader, 21st Century (co-led with Ron Blake), and his first solo effort, People Music, released in 2001.
In 2007 Dion started ‘Dion Parson’s Unity’. Through this band Dion unites different musicians, people, influences and cultures through his music.

In January of 2006, Dion started playing with the Broadway show, The Color Purple. Although a newcomer to the theater world, his extensive experience with various styles of music made him an instant fit in the musically comprehensive show that “blends and blurs the lines of gospel, pop, ragtime and blues.”

Always interested in giving back, coupled with his desire to ensure a continuous crop of talented musicians, Dion began his teaching career at Rutgers University in 1992 as an adjunct professor. He enjoyed teaching, and this experience opened other doors of opportunity as an educator, including classes and workshops at Cheyney University (PA), VI Council on the Arts Jazz Exchange Workshops (as part of the St. Croix Jazz Festival), Artists in Residence Program—the Arts High School (NJ), Harlem School of the Arts (NY), North Carolina University, and Manna House Workshops (Harlem, NY). Since February of 2005 Dion has been the drum/percussion instructor at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) Jazz for Teens program, where he conducts drum workshops, theory classes, and directs student ensembles. In addition, he continues to give private instruction in New York City and around the world while touring

Besides working in different school Dion also participates in workshops all over the world with the different artists he works with.

In 2007 Dion started as the creative director of the new international music organization United Jazz International of which Branford Marsalis and Steve Coleman are the founding fathers.
For more information about this organization please contact Nicole Koerts (the president of United Jazz International) at nicole@unitedjazz.com

Although he continues to make music education a priority, Dion persists in his efforts to master his instrument. He maintains study with master drummer Michael Carvin, a relationship that began in 1994. Dion’s vast experience, as performer, educator and lifelong student, allow him to further broaden his knowledge and embrace opportunities to bring his music to the world.

“Parson’s style and sound owe much to Roy Haynes and Max Roach. Skittering open rolls, high-pitched toms, and bright cymbals; dance unconsciously in the background, always on top of the beat.”

It is very rare for a film composer to conquer all three of it’s mediums, Motion Pictures, Broadcast Television, and Television commercials virtually at once.  Wayne Sharpe, the musical prodigy from New York City is one of the very few who has.  Mr. Sharpe is amongst an elite group of film composers.  Just after his enormously successful national ad campaigns for Pantene, Revlon and Mobile Oil, film and television came vigorously calling. Soon, his themes were heard on NBC Sports, NYC Marathon, US Soccer Championships, and the #1 Children’s Television Show Yugioh.

In the last several years, the American Motion Picture Industry quickly became Mr. Sharpe’s new home, where he’s composed the scores to such feature films as SOUTHIE (starring Don Wahlberg), the much talked about FIREDANCER, directed by Jawad Wassal, PIGEONHOLED (starring Rosanna Arquette), and cues in POKEMAN, THE FIRST MOVIE. Mr. Sharpe has also composed two IMAX films.  It’s no wonder that the second largest film industry in the world, Bollywood was next to conquer. Wayne has  just received India’s most prestigious Film Fare award (which is the equivalent to the American Oscar awards) for best background score for the movie GANGAAJAL.  Gangaajal was directed by Prakash Jha, and stars Ajay Devgan and Gracy Singh
