DAVID ARCHULETA

In the summer of 2007, at the tender age of 16, David was finally old enough to audition for American Idol.   This was the first step on the path that led him to who he is today.  He became the runner-up for the seventh season of American Idol and signed to 19 Recordings/Jive Records.    His self-titled debut album contained the hit song "Crush," which has sold over 2.3 million digital units to date, and went on to sell over 750,000 albums.  Last year, he released a seasonal album, "Christmas from the Heart" and it is certain to become a holiday staple for years to come.   David's sophomore album "The Other Side of Down" will be in stores this fall and features his first single "Something 'Bout Love." In June 2010, Archuleta penned his first book "Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song, And The Power of Perseverance" which debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list.  The autobiography chronicles lessons he’s learned in his young life so far and encourages young people to follow their dreams. 
 
 

SHONETELLE

The 23-year old singer, songwriter and aspiring lawyer from Barbados, has no regrets about pursuing her destiny.  Shontelle’s unique story begins in the West Indies on the beautiful Island of Barbados. She began to carve a reputation in the Caribbean music world by crafting songs for a number of top artists, all while attending the University. Before long, Shontelle scored a hit heard far beyond the Caribbean, writing the girl-power anthem "Roll".  She was flown around the country to meet with executives from the world’s top labels and eventually decided to sign to Steve Rifkind’s SRC Records – joining the ranks of the many successful artists in the Universal Music family.  Shontelle’s explosive summer single, "Impossible," has soared to No. 9 on Billboard’s Pop Song chart and her debut album "No Gravity" will be on sale August 24.  
 

ALLSTAR WEEKEND

 
In 2009, San Diego's Allstar Weekend was added to Radio Disney's "Next Big Thing" competition and subsequently signed to Hollywood Records.  A little over a year later, the band’s high-energy pop-punk single "A Different Side of Me" has sold over 100,000 copies and topped Radio Disney’s Top 30 Countdown. 
 
 

SCHOOL GYRLS

The School Gyrls not only look the part of sweet high school students, they actually are. These three pint-sized pop stars pack major charisma and talent into an adorable adolescent package.  The group officially formed in November 2008 and have been hard at work ever since.  They made their television debut as the School Gyrls with Nick Cannon on the season finale of E! TV Show "Party Monsters" in Cabo San Lucas in January 2009, and have since been busy recording their debut album which will be released under the Island Def Jam imprint in 2010.
