Mark Ronson
NY DJ/producer/songwriter Mark Ronson has already set alight the music industry by remixing tracks for some of the world's biggest acts including Jay Z, Outkast, Moby and Nelly Furtado. It was the A&R department at Elektra that spotted Ronson after he co-produced Nikka Costa's breakthrough album "Everybody Got Their Something". Mark could write a song, produce it and remix it. His debut album, "Here Comes The Fuzz" features an array of artists from Sean Paul, White Stripes front man Jack White and Tweet, to Q Tip, Mos Def and Australia's own Daniel Merriweather. The lead single "Ooh Wee", featuring Ghostface Killah and Nate Dogg, is currently ripping up national playlists.
Scribe
Scribe is the shining star of New Zealand's much celebrated young hip-hop scene. Following his outstanding guest appearances on P-Money's "Big Things" album, he released his own full length debut "The Crusader" (out now through FMR), and went on to become the first ever Kiwi artist to simultaneously hold the Number 1 spots on the NZ album and singles chart.
Winner of the Best Vocalist prize at last year's B-Net Awards, Scribe recently toured Australia for the Big Day Out with P-Money.
"He is a performer, a songwriter and a poet - an MC. he is honest and funny. His music has integrity and truth and the energy to get you out of your seat. Guys wanna be him and girls wanna be with him, it's dope. Scribe is the one" - P-MONEY
P-Money
New Zealand's P-Money has won the NZ ITF DJ Championship title for three years running, and was the third place getter in the 2001 Technics DMC World DJ Championships.
A member of Che-Fu's band The Krates, he co-wrote and produced tracks such as "The Abyss", "Share The Info", "Natural" and "The Mish2" from the Platinum selling album "Navigator".
His forthcoming album will feature some of New Zealand's best underground MC's over P-Money original production. Scribe features on the lead track "Scribe 2001".
Daniel Merriweather
Following his contribution on Mark Ronson's debut album, Melbourne nu-soul artist, Daniel Merriweather, has just released his debut single "City Rules", featuring New York MC Saigon.
Daniel recently returned from New York where he was working on tracks for his forthcoming debut album with Ronson (who co-produced "City Rules"). Whilst over there, Daniel got the news that Damon Dash just gave "City Rules" a coveted spot on the latest Roc-A-Fella mix tape.
With his raw soul talent drawing comparisons around the world to D'Angelo, Musiq Soulchild and Al Green, Daniel is definitely one to watch this year and his first major Australian performances should not be missed.
