JERSEY PRIDE’S 2009 PERFORMERS
Evelyn “Champagne” King always seems to dazzle the audience with her vibrant
personality, as well as her strong seductive voice. Her electric performances accentuate her remarkable vocal ability as she delivers songs ranging from smooth ballads to
party jumping, funk knocking jams. Her long list of hits include “I’m In Love”, “Love
Come Down”, “Hold On to What You’ve Got”, “I Don’t Know If It’s Right”, and her disco
classic “Shame”.

Emcee, Mr. Stefon Royce is full of surprises and you never know what to expect
from this Drag King Extraordinaire. He currently walks Butch Body and Sex Siren for
the House of Legacy International. Among his many pageant conquests is the Mr.
Illusions New Jersey International Male Pageant.
Christine Havrilla can best be described as a mix between Sheryl Crow and the
Indigo Girls. Self-taught, Havrilla wins crowds over wherever she goes with her
musical innovation, heartfelt lyrics, and sparkling personality, and her guitar a mere
extension of herself. Her music and sound are difficult to fit into one category; hence
Christine describes it as "Neofunkadelicfolkpoptwangrock!"
Singer/songwriter/pianist Todd Alsup is a welcome throwback to classic songwriting and
showmanship. Released in 2008, Todd’s debut EP “Facts & Figures” has been enthusiastically received. Blessed with vocals that rise up with conviction and warmth, he is
bound to strike a chord with Jersey Pride listeners. www.toddalsup.com

National Anthem at the NJ NETS first game of the year at IZOD Centre. LALA is
driven to become a success story. An interviewer once asked her what fuels her to
be so unstoppable and driven, and LALA answered, “God has given me a talent, and
I am going to take it to the fullest!” www.lalathemusicartist.com
