The Stick Martin Show


The Stick Martin Show formed on the 28th day of the eleventh month, in the year 2003 AD. It was in the county of Pasco that they met... aahhhh yes, in the sunny state of Florida, three transplanted, musically proficient nomads met through tones unknown.

Mr. Stick Martin will ignite your brain lava with his lyrical genius, and he is sure to get you off your seat. This boy's from Frogballs, Pennsyltucky and he knows how to knock your socks on your ass, so look out!!!

Stick, fresh off the L-train circuit in NYC, moved to Florida - suitcase, guitar, and a BIG box of CD's in his hand.... And then a miracle! He met 2 of the coolest, most awesome, kick ass musicians:

Eric Harlow - He plays the bass guitar... with both hands. There have been many times, at many different places that people have said, in not so round about ways, that his 2 handed style is just as good as some others they have heard. (That could even include stuff that they heard on the RADIO! - Gasp!). He's from south western Michigan (just an hour out of Chicago).

Gerald Pilkey - Long legged drummer from parts unknown. He's a Florida boy, full of sunshine and good beats. He'll hold the groove down like you would not believe. He's like the sexy Mrs. Dash to Stick and Harlow's salt and pepper. He's like pop rocks and diet Pepsi, mang. Can you dig?

Kleon Time


[ Orlando ] Kleon Time took up music production at a young age, picking up his first guitar at the age of 10. Learning how to play the drums, piano, guitar, and having a broad spectrum of influences from friends on labels, to major artists and DJs around the world, his music reflects just that. From remixes, to original content, his music spreads across most genres while maintaining his unique sound.

Kleon Time started with just a basic program, similar to Garage Band, where he recorded all sorts of original songs, including his own vocals and lyrics. Over the years he took on more complex programs like Cubase, Reason, and Fruity Loop Studio continuing to master his production skills. He then decided to take music production to the next level and move to Florida where he attends Full Sail University to really learn the "ins and outs" of the recording arts.

After hearing Dubstep for the first time in Florida, he immediately started to take on the complicated, versatile genre and put his skills to the test. Watching a Youtube video "Rusko Live" gave him the idea of taking on his production skills to the DJ scene. Using only the Akai APC40 and 2 months of practice, he got his first DJ gig in downtown Orlando. Awing the crowd at such a young age, with no experience as a DJ, he is now becoming a resident DJ and is looking to expand to bigger clubs and venues. Kleon Time anxiously awaits to learn this new art form as well as continue his career as a DJ, Producer, Musician, and Songwriter.

Solo 350 [ A.K.A.: Solo The Beast ]

 

[ Spring Hill | Tampa ] Big fella, bigger dreams. This MC has been hitting the local Tampa area stages since a very early age. With roots stemming from NYC, he met FEN Entertainment front man, Analysis489, when he moved to a small town called Spring Hill, before the promotions company was ever even a thought. Together, along with HeadKnokka Fam front man, Imagiin360, they headed up rap group after rap group in order to acquire and maintain a steady local fan base and following! As the years progressed, the three separated  ways after high school, but reunited close to 12 years later, simply to pick up where they all had left off. Making music. With all of them set and primed in their distinctive corners of the industry, Solo has decided to team up once again to take the dying Hip Hop industry by storm.

In association with Matrix Music, Solo is getting ready to release "Two Sides of the Story", a mix tape with partner, SoLive. These two men have dedicated their souls to this project, due out early June 2010. With a mixture of "conscious rap" tracks and radio-ready tunes, these two MC's have become well known in their communities, with a growing amount of fans that display nothing but support. With rap crews like NoS, IllaFellas, and EMS in his pockets... Solo's going to be a BIG problem for Hip Hop to deal with. Stay tuned.

Top Shelf

     [ Tampa, FL ] Fate must have struck a chord when lead guitarist and vocalist were paired together as roommates at random, as USF business students. Neither of the two had met each other before, but they began playing and writing music together. Not soon after, Joe and Anthony stumbled upon Jared Huffman, who just happened to have a drumset stuffed into his jail cell of a dorm room. After a considerable amount of jams and consequent noise complaints and violations, they caught the eye of musician Greg Baker. Greg could "slappa da bass" like a riot and was instantly accepted into the mix. The four-piece band that spawned from the college students living on the USF campus, became Top Shelf. With a unique alternative sound, a combination of talented musicians, and catchy lyrics that finds the complexity in simplicity, Top Shelf is truly... Top Shelf.

McCarron Best

 


[ St. Petersburg ] McCarron Best has been singing since breath first graced her body. Thankfully, she's discovered, she's pretty darn good at it!

She set out on a musical journey a few years ago. And what started as a hobby has turned into a full blown passion. She began as a shy studio singer (check out the tracks on her MySpace page for tunes from that era), writing and singing mostly breaks, with a little House, Downtempo, and DnB thrown in. As her confidence grew, she decided to come out of the booth and try her luck on stage.

Luckily for her, she had friends with more confidence in her abilities than she did at that time. The Torque crew in Orlando and the Stateside Collective Crew in Tampa, both encouraged her to get in the mix as a vocalist/MC for their DnB endeavors. She fell in love! The ensuing year found her pursuing her new found love all over the state of Florida. From Miami to Gainesville, and everywhere in between, she's shared a stage with some of the biggest names in DnB. These include: Reid Speed, Artificial Intelligence, Mr. Bailey, Spor, Black Sun Empire, Danny Byrd, Focus of Basic Ops, Logistics, Ewun, and her heroes and inspiration: LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad. As her journey into DnB continues, she hopes to soon gig outside of Florida, and eventually on a global scale as well!

McCarron is also blessed and thankful to be a part of Tampa House Music, or THM as it's affectionately reffered to, but this little girl with the big voice has high hopes for the future! Lately, she's teamed up with BLR, Aaron Bond, and Analysis to join the growing family here at FEN Entertainment. We welcome her with open arms, along with her dreams and ambitions, so that we may collaborate in making positive changes toward the future. And that, kiddies, is the key to it all. If you love what you're doing and stay true to your art, culture, friends, and above all else yourself, how can you not influence positive change?

The Dallas Conspiracy

 

[ Tampa | Orlando ] The Dallas Conspiracy is a one-man band that was formed in Summer of 2007. TDC decided to shake things up a bit by taking his love for pop/punk and crossing it with some dance beats. The end result is the 2008 release "Black Spoons & Broken Hearts". The album is a concept record about addiction - something that everyone has to deal with from time to time. Armed with metaphors, satire, and emotionally driven lyrics, this album is one to wait for. This young artist has played with the likes of "Truly Sunday" and "Soulfound". You can find his tunes available for FREE download, here.

Sins Of The Father

      [ Tampa, FL ] As Jared and Marinio sat in the Meridian Hookah Lounge conversing about the state of music in the present day, they decided to attempt a renaissance of old school heavy metal while mixing it with more modern hard rock. Being avid Iron Maiden fans, they knew what direction they wanted to take. A band name unlike any other was birthed that night as well - Sins of the Father. Soon thereafter, Marinio's brother, The Meade, was recruited to sing. After almost a year of trying out guitarist after guitarist, Marinio met Chris at a local Sam Ash music store and he liked what he heard. They are still searching for a bass playing genius to complete the lineup. If you think you would fit in and can jam the f@ck out of a bass guitar, hit them up! Using techniques true to older metal (lots of changes, twin guitar harmonization, etc...) they bred their own original sound previously unheard by anyone before. Only one question is left unanswered... ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!?!

Aaron Field

 

[ Tampa, FL ] Specializing in acoustic guitar, Mr. Field hails from the SLC, Utah, where he gained his rebellious roots.

Aaron continues a very fun, but competitive personality, while maintaining his first passion: music. He sings, writes, and plays guitar. He met his musical opposite, yet somehow musical equal, Analysis489, almost by accident in 2002.
