About the Artist
Eugene IV, born and raised in southwest Atlanta, is a multi-talented vocalist, musician, songwriter, actor, and educator. He began playing sax at age 9 and has been writing rhymes since elementary school. Eugene IV has played with bands for the National Black Arts Festival, Auburn Street Festival, Funk Jazz Café, and even the Atlanta-Montreaux Music Festival. Eugene IV is a former member of the hip-hop duo not-r-selz, who often performed with Gotee recording artists GRITS and collaborated with Shawn J. Period (producer of songs for Mos Def, Beastie Boys, & the Lyricist Lounge compilation). The group had songs in heavy rotation on Spiritual Vibe {Atlanta's Hot 97 (now Hot 107)}; and was featured on numerous albums, including several underground hip-hop compilations. Eugene IV began acting at Tennessee State University, where he earned a B.S. degree in Biology. About a year after graduation, he canceled plans for grad school to pursue the arts full-time. Since then, he has performed in countless professional theatre productions (A Raisin in the Sun, Fences, Ain't Misbehavin', etc.), commercials/industrials (Doctor's Hospital, Walt Disney Tribute to Eartha Kitt, etc.) and television (Mama Flora's Family, Trumpet Awards, etc.). Eugene IV regularly works as a substitute teacher in schools throughout Atlanta. He feels equally accountable to both his students and other potential audiences. "I feel a responsibility to positively affect the lives of the listeners," says Eugene IV about his current project, Starving Artist. Starving Artist is his debut solo album, and was chosen as the 1st album to be released by the internationally acclaimed Youth Ensemble of Atlanta, of which he is an alumnus. Starving Artist has been described as a soulful hip-hop album combining the musicality of jazz and soul with the rhythms of Hip Hop and the words of a poet. "My musical inspirations run the gamut from Public Enemy and De La Soul to Earth, Wind & Fire and Wayne Shorter," says Eugene IV. Starving Artist is scheduled for worldwide release in May of 2005. Starving Artist features a special appearance from Arrested Development's Baba Oje. The twelve original tracks also include a powerhouse of musical talent from the vocal stylings of Julie Dexter to Atlanta-based musicians Takana Miyamoto, Khari Cabral Simmons and Divinity. Starving Artist was engineered by Alex Lowe who has also worked with OutKast, Sunny Emory and many others.
Starving Artist is a powerful combination of explosive music and powerfully positive messages of empowerment, responsibility and redemption. "I know, and have known since well before adulthood, that I've been called to make music that cries for social change. As the child of parents who were directly involved in the Civil Rights Movement, I feel it's in my blood to, at the very least, speak out against injustice."

Album Description
Instrumental trio Green Light is drummer Adam Snow, bassist Dustin Hofsess, and guitarist Kevin Gill. This is a band that is coming from many different places musically. As a result, the Green Light audience is made up of an interesting variety of people: jazzers and rockers, the folky and the funky, hippies and computer programmers, the drunk and the devout... Each of them finds something about Green Light's music that draws them into the swirling vortex of energy that this band creates.The group draws from a deep well of influences. Some key points of departure are: the spirituality, intense energy, and exploratory improvisation of saxophone master John Coltrane; the raw blues-rock power, and psychedelic colors of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd; the funky rhythmic tension and down- home soul of the Meters and Sly & the Family Stone; the groundbreaking jazz/rock/funk fusion of Miles Davis; the beautiful reggae grooves of Bob Marley & the Wailers. As well as drawing inspiration from these relatively well known artists, Green Light infuses their music with sounds from all over the globe, including African, Indian, Middle Eastern, Cuban, and Brazilian musical elements.
Green Light music is powerful, raw, soulful, mysterious, spontaneous, positive and life-affirming. This is music made for people who long for originality and unadulterated creativity. To experience Green Light is to be taken on a consciousness-expanding trip

Lindsey Horne Band
The Lindsey Horne Band Manufacturer: Starving Artist Records ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B0007DB9NW Release Date: 2004-12-14 |
Tracks:
Album Description
Each of their songs is its own entity; a placement of provocative poetic imagery within a unique and sultry groove. Lindsey's lyrics have the youthful narrative quality of an early Jackson Brown; the musical arrangements have the sophisticated simplicity of a later Joni Mitchell. The band's performances have been described as intense and personal. The honesty of the lyrics consistantly captivate an audience. Lindsey's songs have been described as sad and tough, yet they are supported by the band's strong yet subtle sound. In any case, The Lindsey Horne Band is a serious and sensual listening experience.
