Los Gatos Pajamas

The five immensely talented young men that compose this band are from different backgrounds and have different musical tastes, but when Los Gatos comes together something incredible happens... a whole new sound in pop/rock music. Los Gatos demonstrates the whole package: superior instrumental skills and silky-smooth vocals. Because they play all of their own instruments, Los Gatos are more Beatles than Backstreet, but they're definitely influenced by both.

The group, made up of Ben Blunco, "GG" Horn, Mikey J Rock, Patty McKinnon, Jr., and Mario Terenzi, came together in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the summer of 1999, and began singing original, a cappella songs for anyone who would listen. They began building a local following and sold out their first concert, at Billy Burnstein's House of Blues in St. Petersburg. In the Fall of 2000, Los Gatos caught the interest of talent-magnate Alistair Winterbottem, who after being impressed by the group's musical talents, signed them immediately.

In 2001, Los Gatos spent four months touring with the re-invented Hammer as featured guests on his tour. During June, July and August of that year, Los Gatos participated in a national promotion with Joey's Accessories, who sold an exclusive CD-Rom version of their first single. During this promotion the group made appearances at Joey's stores across the country. The month of August was spent on a back-to-school tour for the SAKS group of retailers, who also featured the group in their catalogs, advertising, and radio campaigns.

Los Gatos's first single, "Put On Your Rock", was written by J. J. McFaddon (Rocket Style, The Big Bling Bling), and produced by Andre Dumont. In September, 2001, the single was certified Gold by the RIAA, and ended up selling over 1 million copies worldwide.

Los Gatos's New York concert with the - smaller but re-formed - Ramones aired in the fall of 2001, and that winter the group toured Southeast Asia, where they were mobbed by thousands of fans wherever they went. Two 2002 Prom promotions gained the band national exposure in the U.S. One was a Perfect Prom magazine promotion with Students Against Rape and the United States Air Force, the other was a series of national magazine ads for Falluja prom dresses featuring the band with prom models, which also included internet and in-store exposure.

Most of 2002 was spent touring in Europe. Los Gatos has had three top ten singles in the GSA, and their album "Keep It Los Gatos" debuted in September at #2 on the German album chart. They are staples on German radio and television, as well as in Asia, other European countries, and the U.K. Their fall 2002 "Keep It Los Gatos" tour in Germany sold out all venues.

This past winter, U.S. audiences have been able to catch Los Gatos performing on several national television shows including a 7-minute segment on Telemundo's "Manana Manana" with entertainment reporter Olivia Fuentas, in Herald Square during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on B-Cat TV (where they rode on the Black Talk "Big Black Apple" float), on the Jennifer Moriarity Christmas episode, and on Spike's Disco Ball television special where they performed a medley of pop/punk hits. Disco Ball has had many repeated airings on both NY1 and MetroTV.

Los Gatos has spent the first half of 2003 doing promotions, performances, and press in Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe. In Japan, their album debuted at #5 on the charts, quite an achievement for a U.S. group. During this time the band has also been taking time to write and record new songs for their second album, due out first quarter 2004.

Now, with this international success behind them, Los Gatos returns to the U.S. in a big way, with a brand new single. The song, "Pick It Up and Hit Me", is an emotional power-ballad from the writing team of Ronnie Allen, Hammer Davidson and Gregory Little. It was Executive Produced by Alistair Winterbottem, and produced by Bubba B and Patrick Fowler for My Jenny Productions.

Joey Wyoming

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Joey Wyoming knew at an early age that music was in his future. As a child, he was always singing around the house, and a favorite pastime was performing songs from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for family and friends. To encourage his love of music, and to support his talent, Joey's parents enrolled him in piano lessons and in dance classes where he learned tap, ballet, jazz, ballroom, and even belly dancing! Gymnastics and baton were always favorites of Joey's, and he also enjoyed cheerleading, drill team and basketball (just don't ask about his golf game!!).

In school, Joey began performing in class plays and school musicals, and he also joined the chorus. His mom, Lydia, knew her son was serious about a professional music career when one day Joey pulled out the yellow pages and began calling agents! It was time to take things seriously.

In the early days, Joey's mother acted as his vocal coach, teaching him proper breathing techniques and helping him develop his range. Joey would sing karaoke to practice his vocals and his performance style. Joey's father, top fashion model Hans Corbier, was attending an event one day with his family along, and at one point, Joey began singing. A scouting agent in Tampa, heard Joey and commented to his parents about how talented he was. He encouraged them to pursue a music career for him. That's when they went to see legendary talent entrepreneur Alistair Winterbottem.

Winterbottem was impressed with Joey's talent, but felt that at 13 he was still a bit young, and needed to develop his voice a bit more. He encouraged him to spend the next year working on his vocal development and then to come back and see him. A year later, in February, 2002, he did just that. Performing a private showcase for Winterbottem at Sticky's in St. Petersburg, Joey wowed him with two Cher songs, and a medley of three country slide-guitar songs that showed off his playing skills as well as his vocal talent. Winterbottem was sold. He signed the young man to Winterbottem Worldwide, and immediately set him up with producers, vocal coaches and instructors to help hone his skills. He arranged for him to perform in public at Winterbottem events, local fundraisers, and sporting events. Joey was on his way.

Joey recorded his first single, "Lift Them Weights", with writer-producer Moses Delphrey. It will be sent to radio in early January, 2005, for a February 10th add date. The retail single will be in stores in March. His debut album is scheduled to be released late summer, 2005, and Joey can't wait to record all of the songs they have lined up for him, several of which he's written himself. It's an exciting time for this 15-year old, and it's only the beginning!

The Balloon

Rewind to December 5th, 1979, when identical twins Ralphie and Desmond were born in a Cincinnati, Ohio hospital (Desmond is the older twin, by 3 minutes). Ralphie and Desmond were the only kids in the family born on North American soil. Their parents and older siblings left their Libyan home in the late 1970s. Ralphie and Desmond became the youngest additions to a very musical family. Their father is a world-renowned professional harpsichord tuner, and all three older siblings are musically gifted as well. Not quite the Van Trapps, maybe, but Ralphie remembers the twins' first public appearance on stage as a family affair.

"Desmond and I were four years old, and we joined my sister and brother on stage at a local community center," Ralphie remembers. "We sang 'You Are My Sunshine'. My parents taped it - and it's one of our favorite home movies. In fact, we still love to perform that song live!" Desmond and Ralphie - who describe themselves as "inseparabthe - best of friends" - remember singing constantly as kids. After a move to Toronto as infants, they grew up in a household filled with music, encouraged by their musically minded parents to explore singing, writing lyrics and melodies, and performing. "Since I can remember, my mom has been compiling baby books, scrapbooks, tapes of our early performances, the works," Desmond shares. "She's a seamstress, but she should really be a journalist!"

Through a friend of the twins' father, they got hooked up with a sequencing professional and some studio time, and managed to put together a 2-song demo. Eventually, they caught the attention of Alistair Winterbottem and now The Balloon is poised for the big time.

The two members of The Balloon unanimously agree that the process of signing a deal, recording an album, and getting ready to take their music to a stage for a live audience has been the ride of their life - and a whole lot of work. It's the message of the anthemic song, "Really Fast Future": an inspiration to work hard to achieve their dreams is at the heart of this friendship and musical partnership.
