well as dancing and acting chops. Discovered by multi-platinum
superstar Flo Rida, Medeiros has been a household name
in his native Canada for some time. Well on his way to
taking the industry by storm with a barrage of singles,

by all types of music, Charlie is a singer-songwriter
who started writing music well before she imagined
singing for hundreds of thousands across Canada. In the
spring of 2011, this mini fashionista was one of four
thousand kids who auditioned for YTV's The Next Star in
hopes of getting the opportunity to express her passion
for music. By the fall of 2011 Charlie had become an
audience favourite and won the nationally televised

Armed with talent and an infectious energy that grabs
you from the stage or through the screen, Charlie brings

Greyson Chance
At
just 14 years-old, Greyson Chance has accomplished more
than many musicians can hope for in their careers; two
successful North American tours, performing at the White
House, national television appearances and, most
recently, the release of his debut album Hold On ‘Til
The Night.
Much of Chance’s celebrity began
with a fortuitous
YouTube
post of a performance by the
stage-ready 6th grader for his fellow students of Lady
Gaga’s “Paparazzi,” but the whirlwind of exposure and
international opportunities that ensued have been such
that can only be earned by his sheer talent. Catching
the eye of a producer at “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” led
to Chance’s first guest appearance and a fateful return
a week later, where DeGeneres announced that she had
signed Greyson as the first artist on her newly formed
label, eleveneleven. The rest – as they say – is history.
Now, with a critically acclaimed debut album, Chance has
become a household name and is looking forward to more
exciting projects for fans in 2012.

Shawn Desman
From
the moment he released his self-titled debut CD in the
fall of 2002, Shawn Desman has enjoyed phenomenal
success. His album spent an incredible 49 weeks on the SoundScan Top 200 sales chart and produced two Top 10
singles and two #1 videos. Desman’s visibility then
soared to even greater heights after the subsequent
release of his sophomore album “Back for More” which
garnered him a Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Recording.
His high-energy, infectious single, “Let’s Go,” exploded
onto the Top 40 radio chart after just 1 week, peaking
at #1 proving he is a superstar entertainer worthy of
all the critical acclaim and destined to be at the
forefront of the global music stage.
