==> For More Information on the Artists:

* Erica: I play piano and I write songs. Songs that resonate like political anthems, whisper like bedtime lullabies, and flow like old folk fables. Songs that document all of those great things and small things that get caught in our memories. I currently reside in Toronto, where, new
demo album in hand, I am “emerging” as an artist. www.ericamah.com

* Kytami: Kytami started taking violin lessons at 3 years of age. She went through an intense classical training at the Vancouver Academy of Music. She wanted to combine the sound of her violin with punk, reggae, hip hop, jungle and drum n bass. Kytami released her debut album in 2002, “Conflation” with Kytami’s electric violin driven by electronic beats. She is a member of hip-hop/dancehall/drum n bass live act Third Eye Tribe, epic punk/metal/rock band Lownote as well as acoustic folk-punk band Blackie LeBlanc and the Kytami Revolution. www.myspace.com/kytami
