The eldest son of an immigrant family relocated to Virginia Beach, Kenna began to express an interest in music upon receiving a copy of U2’s The Joshua Tree. More records by influential artists such as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, The Cure and The Cars followed, and remain as inspiration and influence of Kenna’s music today. His debut album, New Sacred Cow, co-produced by Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, is difficult to place in a single genre, containing elements of electronica, synth pop, post rock, and house music. Two singles, “Sunday After You” and “Freetime” followed the release of the album; the music video of the latter, along with “Hell Bent”, appeared sporadically on MTV2.
His new release, Make Sure They See My Face, drops August 21st, 2007.

Filter Magazine Presents Revenge of the Sunset Strip - July 19th 2007
With a diverse array of influences, eclectic twosome J*DaVeY — female vocalist Jack Davey (b. Brianna Cartwright) and producer Brook D’Leau — deliberately evade the narrow categories of what urban music should sound like, not to mention that they defy normal conventions of pop music. Drawing equally from neo-soul, new wave, funk, and hip-hop, their melting pot of electronic soul and dance have made music-goers try to classify them somewhere between neo-soulstress Erykah Badu and new wave punks Talking Heads.

Conceived in a London hospital and born to a Jewish doctor and a Gentile nurse, Pop Levi has led what one might call a “melodic” life. He began studying piano at 3, joined a gospel choir at 7, started collecting records at 9, and soon after wrote his first song, “Through The Window Of My Life”. He created a band with some flat mates called Super Numeri. Pop did a stint playing bass guitar on tour with Ladytron, all the while performing on occasion with Super Numeri. And eventually set out for solo success. His solo project shone mad success after SXSW 2007.
