BETTY WHO- With an eye-catching signature blonde pixie cut, delightful nineties superstar fixation, and singing and songwriting prowess befitting of her stadium ambition, Betty Who commands the dance floor. The Australia-born and Los Angeles-based songstress just released her second studio album, "The Valley" to rave reviews in March 2017 by RCA Records. The album is preceded by the singles "I Love You Always Forever", "Human Touch", "Some Kinda Wonderful", and "Mama Say". Who's 2014 full-length debut, Take Me When You Go [RCA Records], cemented her as a 21st century buzzworthy pop force "replete with skyscraper-size tunes that could rattle the screws in the nosebleeds"-as proclaimed by Vogue. While the lead single "Somebody Loves You" went on to amass over 26 million Spotify streams and counting, she earned glowing acclaim from Harpers Bazaar, Time, Glamour, Elle, New York Magazine, and Spin who dubbed Take Me When You Go the "Best Pop Album of 2014." As a both writer and multi-instrumentalist, she continues to paint pictures with a hypnotic and heartfelt honesty. Drawing on everything from her childhood classical training at Michigan's Interlochen Center of the Arts to a lifelong Joni Mitchell and Carole King obsession, Who brings a poignant and personal perspective to pop music. www.bettywhomusic.com @bettywho

She began her career by creating a YouTube web series into a national campaign playing "Lily" in AT&T commercials. Named one of Backstage Magazine's Top Actors on the Verge of Major Career Breakthroughs and Adweek's Top 100 Creatives, she used the success she garnered from appearances on Californication, House of Lies, Silicon Valley, Paul Feig's Other Space, and most recently as "Sloan" on This Is Us, to draw attention to the Syrian refugee crisis. Milana made a short documentary about the refugees arriving in Greece and thus began the #CantDoNothing movement that has inspired many volunteers and generous donations leading to schools and medical centers erected outside refugee camps.

Carrie Manolakos- The human heart is the most important organ in the body. It is the very engine for life itself. Harnessing that energy, New York-based singer and songwriter Carrie Manolakos let the heart lead on her 2017 independent album, The 44th Chord.

Carrie has devoted her whole life to music. Post-college, she took Broadway by storm, starring in Mamma Mia as the lead Sophie before assuming the role of Elphaba on the second national tour of Wicked. She lent her voice to Lizzie for the Original Cast Recording of the rock opera based on Lizzie Borden. Along the way, she turned the likes of Alec Baldwin, Josh Groban, and Trey Anastasio into fans, joining the latter for Phish's epic New Year's Eve 2013 gig at Madison Square Garden singing 'Tweezer Reprise.' Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman sought her out to join him during his 2016 performance at the Metropolitan Opera. She performed the part of Éponine as he reprised the role of Jean Valjean from Les Misérables.Carrie also joined Emmy Award winner Peter Dinklage for a Game of Thrones spoof penned by Coldplay's Chris Martin. She also delivered a powerful rendition of Aerosmith's "Dream On" during a PBS special entitled Rocktopia.

That voice continues to enchant, engage, and entrance listeners everywhere. Following the release party for her 2012 EP Echo, a video of Carrie covering Radiohead's "Creep" at New York haunt (le) poisson rouge went viral. Not only did it quickly notch over 3 million YouTube views, but she also earned praise from Entertainment Weekly who proclaimed it among the "Top 12 Best Radiohead Covers of All Time," The New York Times, The New Yorker, Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, MTV, and Gawker writing, "will make your ears org*sm." Fans chose her to be a part of Elle's "30 Under 30" as she sold out venues across the country. carriemanolakos.com @carriemanolakos
