biography
Mr. Knuckles
 

Mr. Knuckles began his lyrical journey in 1997 composing songs with other family members to perform at family-promoted events. In 1998, P.D.K. (Pit Dog Knuckles) teamed up with his cousin, Evilll the Pitt, to form the legendary Bloodline, with their album being the first project to be released on All Out Records, a family-owned and operated label.

In 2000, Mr. Knuckles knew it was time to work on a solo project that would captivate the attention of not only Houston, but also the world. It was around this same time that Houston announced the name of a new NFL expansion team - the Houston Texans. This led Mr. Knuckles to write a song that not only embodied what he was about, but what the whole city of Houston was about.

Mr. Knuckles first recorded "Houston Texan" in 2002, during the Houston Texans inaugural season. Produced by Kane of Nubeat Productions, the recording featured Deezy.com and N-Doe, two artists from Mr. Knuckles management company, Raynard Entertainment. The song was featured on several mix tapes around Houston and met with an amazing response from the public.

In 2005, after a two-year leave of absence, Mr. Knuckles rerecorded "Houston Texan" and is primed to take the world by storm. The all new rendition of the song features Deezy.com, producer Shadow Black, and Houston-based rock band Stalking Chloe.

biography
Deezy
 

As a child of the late 70Õs, Deezy, born Bari Kindle, witnessed hip hop's "golden era". He watched it grow and he grew with it. In the late 80's, when he was only 11 years old, he formed the "G.I. Crew" with some friends from his neighborhood. They never released any material but the fire had been lit. Between 1989 and 1996, Deezy was a part of two different groups, "Deuce" and "2Bcool", with the latter winding up in the middle of a bidding war with several independents.

Deezy brings a ferocious lyrical style to the mic. His clever wordplay and baritone delivery make his flow impossible to resist. He credits anyone who has ever put their heart on paper as his influences. The southern emcee believes in music as a communication tool and uses his verses to address issues that are important to him as well as the public at large.

As a part of the All Out/Dynasty Family, Deezy has featured on several releases, such as Bloodline's "Yow Yow II", PDK's "Watch Ya Strut", and Rod Smoove's "Bomb Elixir". Currently, he's involved in The Movement, his campaign to instill pride in his hometown of Houston, Texas, which includes the anthem "Houston Texan" ft Mr. Knuckles, as well as his solo debut, tentatively entitled, "Terrible With Words" due out mid-2006.

 
   
biography
Stalking Chloe
 

Stalking Chloe combines strong melodies, heavy guitar, thumping bass and intricate percussive beats to create an edgy, power pop sound without losing the roots of '70s rock 'n' roll. Based out of Houston, Texas, Stalking Chloe continues to suprise the scene with their versatile sound, high-energy performances and die-hard fans. Opposites definitely attract as songwriters Gary Hannon (guitar/vocals) and Steve Titley (bass/background vocals) bring two very different writing styles and sets of influences to the table that, when combined, work together on every level. Enter the classically trained, precision drumming of John Feldmann and you have a sound that you canÕt put your finger on...you just know it's good.

Having met in early 2001, Gary "Hank" Hannon and Steve "T-Levy" Titley have been writing together and building a library of songs for four years. During that time under the name Drop Zero, the guys released two 5-song EPs and became well-respected members of the musical community in Houston, Dallas and Austin. They went on to win the 106.9 "The Point" Houston Battle of the Bands, awarding them the honor of opening the 2003 R.E.M. show at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. They also showcased with Vallejo at the 2003 Dallas Music Fest, played at the 2004 Houston Superbowl Bash and took part in the 2004 South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas.

Meanwhile, John Feldmann was "hoping to have his playing heard by millions of people and get paid to tour the world." Specifically, "Flex" was living in New York City, putting 15 years of studio and live playing under his belt, and working with the likes of The Jim Lampos Band, The Midnight Experiment, and Al Pitrelli, guitarist for Megadeth. Upon returning to Houston, a mutual friend introduced John to Gary and Steve. Once the lineup was complete, the band decided that it was time for a new name. Hence the birth of Stalking Chloe

Stalking Chloe's busy performing schedule has introduced them to many new fans, as well as opening doors to collaborating with other Houston-based artists. One such artist, rapper Curtis Littlejohn (a.k.a. Mr. Knuckles), attended a number of Stalking Chloe shows in early 2005 before asking the band to perform on his latest single "Houston Texan." After many hours of writing, recording and performing together, the resulting collaborative effort between Stalking Chloe and Mr. Knuckles is sure to take both the rock and rap industries by storm, as well as introducing the music world to the city of Houston, Texas.

 
   
biography
Shon J
 

Shon J, ordained minister, writer, psalmist, producer...simply know as Shon to those closest to her, is a remarkable talent who's been in the making for a long time. Although some are just recently making her acquaintance, she's no stranger to the music game at all.

Like most vocalists with heart & soul, she got her first shot at singing before an audience in the church at the tender age of 5. Anytime she could seize the opportunity to sing lead, she did. At the age of 7, she began to play melodies by ear on the piano, so with the encouragement of her parents and grandparents, she began to take piano lessons. From those formative years into adolescence, she continue to hone her crafts and by the age of 16, she was able to add "alto saxophonist" to her musical resume`. With the support of her pastor and church family, she frequently accompanied the music staff on her sax, played piano for the youth choir and eventually became the substitute musician for the adult choirs as well.

To date, she has played keys at various churched throughout the Houston area and has even functioned in the capacity as minister of music. Shon has also assisted various local artists by lending her vocal and writing skills in the studio. She has also been blessed to share the stage with greats such as Fred Hammond, Kurt Carr, Gary Mayes & Nu Era, Micah Stampley, Cedric Ballard, Toni Harris and Media Cole just to name a few.

Currently, she ministers with the group Dru Johson & Neo PraiZe. She is in collaboration with PDK & Raynard Entertainment as well in hopes that her many gifts and talents will be able to touch even more lives. She is even in the process of increasing her marketability by learning bass, drums and guitar. She is definitely ready for the masses.

Shon isn't all about business all the time either. She knows how to have a good time when she's not working. Those in her iiner circle would most likely describe her as crazy & fun. She is a family-oriented person and enjoys attending (and coordinating) family gatherings with her two beautiful daughters.
