About the Panelists and Performers:
Allison Hagendorf (moderator): Ms. Hagendorf does all things media. She's a media personality, music consultant, and branded-content producer. She is the host of FUSE TV's newest show, "The Pop Show", which embraces all things pop culture and is the go-to source for the latest music from today's biggest music stars.
Ben Phillips (panelist): Ben Phillips, a Liberal Arts Music Publishing songwriting/producer, takes a meticulous approach when it comes to writing and producing songs. His work can be heard on Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen upcoming debut.
Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers (panelists): With over 20-years of production under their belt, the Grammy-nominated production duo Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers have mastered many styles of music, which have resulted in more than 20 Top 40 hits, 12 Top 5 hits, 6 BMI awards, and more than 70 million albums sold worldwide. In addition, they're the team that brought international pop star Rihanna stateside.
Kato Khandwala (panelist): Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Hawthorne Heights and My Chemical Romance have all called Kato Khandwala for well-crafted opuses. With a varied discography of hits, Kato's engineering and production skills are in high-demand among rock music's idols.
Morningwood (performer): A life-changing moment spawned Morningwood when Pedro Yanowitz and Chantal Claret met at an insider cocktail party. Their pop-rock sound, reflected in their self-titled debut and sophomore release Diamonds and Studs, has garnered the attention of VH1, and has been used in such films as Sex and the City: The Movie and The Comebacks.
Shontelle (performer): Setting aside her aspiration of becoming an entertainment lawyer, Barbados-bred Shontelle dropped the torts and headed west to attain superstardom as a singer/songwriter. Her debut, Shontelligence, produced the hit "T-Shirt," and she's gearing up for the release of her sophomore release No Gravity.
Taylor Momsen (performer): You've probably seen this young star on the CW's Gossip Girl, fronting the band The Reckless, or gracing the cover of Seventeen Magazine. When she's not touring, you can find Taylor working on her full length album with producer Kato Khandwala, which is scheduled to be released in 2010.
