Mary Lambert had just quit her job as a barista when her whole life changed. An aspiring singer-songwriter who also worked as a brunch waitress and bartender, she got
a call from her friend Hollis Wong-Wear, who had sung on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’
“White Walls.” Wong-Wear had recommended her to the duo, who were struggling to
write a chorus for their new song, a marriage-equality anthem called “Same Love.”
“Hollis said, ‘Ryan’s going to send you the track. You have two hours,’” Lambert recalls.
“I got off the phone and ran across the street to the bar where I worked and told my
boss everything. We did a shot, then I sabered a bottle of champagne with a sword.
Then I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve gotta f@%king write this thing.’ Priorities.”
The result is the transcendent chorus to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ double-platinum
hit “Same Love,” which Lambert wrote from her vantage point of being both a
Christian and a lesbian. “The song already had a brain,” she says. “I wanted to give
it a heart and make a very simple statement that my love is valid, too.” Writing and
singing the hook led to Lambert’s first Grammy Award nominations (for “Song Of
The Year” and “Album Of The Year”), performing “Same Love” with Macklemore and
Lewis on the MTV Video Music Awards, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Colbert
Report, and joining the duo on their fall tour. It also opened the door for Lambert to
sign with Capitol Records, which releases her EP, Welcome To The Age Of My Body, in
December, followed by a full-length album, produced by Eric Rosse (Tori Amos, Sara
Bareilles), next year. The EP’s first single, “She Keeps Me Warm,” is an extension of
“Same Love” that Lambert calls “the other side of the story.” It peaked at No. 2 on
the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart. Its accompanying video sets the song to a visual
of the romantic love experienced in a same-sex partnership. “The video is about
visibility,” Lambert says. “I could be wrong, but I’ve never seen a relationship like
mine accurately portrayed in a music video.”

Los Angeles-based recording artist Wrabel has
spent the past year in the studio with such
renowned producers as Jimmy Hogarth, Greg
Kurstin, Drew Pearson, Eg White, and Chris Braide,
creating the emotionally moving, piano-driven
songs that make up his debut album, which
will be released by Island Def Jam later this
year. The affecting joyful love song “Ten Feet Tall”
captured the ear of Dutch superstar DJ Afrojack,
who has selected it to be the first U.S. single from
his upcoming album. Afrojack invited Wrabel to
perform the song at his homecoming concert
in Amsterdam last fall, a show that found this
compelling young artist performing for a crowd of
more than 7,000 people.

Big Talk is the title of Conway’s dynamic
introductory four-song EP, and NOW it’s
your first impression of this “up and coming
LA-based spitfire.” - (Boston Herald).
As seen in her self-shot and edited
“Big Talk” video, Conway is an artist
with a diverse arsenal of talents which
she uses to express her unique and
purposeful vision.
Most recently Conway’s wildly
charismatic personality and eclectic
alt-pop hybrid sound earned her the
opening position on Ellie Goulding’s
North American tour. With enthralling
performances, witty lyricism and an
unabashed freedom inherent in her
songs and visuals, Conway never
ceases to impress.

An island girl born and raised in Guam, Pia fell for music at the age
of eight, performing in school productions and singing along to artists such as Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Beyonce. Choirs
and formal vocal training helped sharpen her skills and she built an
online following by posting cover songs on YouTube. 2013 saw rising
singer-songwriter Pia Mia grab the spotlight and never give it back.
Her year’s many highlights included the Ryan Seacrest premiere of her
track “Red Love,” the Vevo premiere for the companion video, an iTunes
shout-out in their “Ahead Of The Curve” pop section and the release
of her stunning debut EP, The Gift. One of her year’s most memorable
moments took place at a summer dinner party, where Pia found herself
seated between multi-platinum artists Kanye West and Drake wherein
she belted out an amazing a capella rendition of Drake’s “Hold On,
We’re Going Home,” which was captured on video and posted online.
The clip lit up the internet, racking up more than 3.4 million views and
introducing the world to pop music’s most exciting new voice!
