Harry Towers kicked off the night introducing the hosts Gioia (from Expose) and Lucas Prata (Party 93.1 FM)

Harry Towers	Gioia	Gioia and Lucas Prata

After explaining his name was not Sono, that he was a member of the band - he sang the Billboard #1 Club Play record of 2001 "Keep Control" on Groovilicious/Strictly Records.

Cetacean Recording Artist - Nancy Yvonne performed a new mix of "Who is She."

West End Recording Artist - Marty Thomas - wowed the crowd with his incredible performance, starting with an acapella rendition of "Resurrect Me" and debuting his new single "The Funk."  The gossip was that the PD from 93.1 said he was so impressed that he was going to break "The Funk" this year..

Kim Sozzi showcased her strong voice - proving that she had the pipes to be a true dance diva.  Starting off acapella "Feeling Me" has never sounded better.  Look out for her new single "We Get Together" on Ultra Records.

Jade Starling from Pretty Poison debuted her new song "   " and launched into an interesting version of "To Be Real."

Artemis recording artist - Nicole McCloud - gave us the voice of early Whitney Houston with the stage energy of Tina Turner.  Performing her hit "One Good Reason" and her new single "  " - she really got the crowd on their feet and screaming for more.

Gioia (from Expose) sang her new song "Free to Be" accompanied by a live percussionist.  She brought us back in time with "Let Me Be the One."  Was it me - or was half the audience in her fan club?

Xtreme recording artist - Lisa Pure - performed her club hits "Rainfalls" and "I'm Over You."  Her choreography (especially during the piano break) and strong vocal performance were quite impressive..

Making her debut performance - Oh Music recording artist Dee Robert gave an impressive performance of "Seperate Ways." Dee Robert wrote Nicole McCloud's "One Good Reason" - and I cannot wait to hear more from her.

Wanda Dee, the voice of the KLF, gave a European stageshow - ready for the Moulin Rouge - scandalously dressed dancers, sexy choreography and a strong vocal performance was a great reintroduction of Wanda to the dance community.

Groovilicious Recording artist Aubrey sang her #1 Billboard Club hit "Stand Still."  Aubrey was quite a hardworker - I manage to catch her performance three times - and was impressed each time by her emotional vocal performance and her expressive interpretive dance.

Nashville in the HOUSE!!  Scott Michael - newly signed to Rhodium Records - took the stage for an energetic performance of "Runaway."  Look for remixes by Nic Mercy, Tingo Jr., Julian Marsh and Eddie Baez with backing vocals by Pepper Mashay.  Two girls in the crowd jumped up on stage to dance with him and they synergy was quite special.

The hardest working performer - Pepper Mashay belted out a spirited version of Dive in the Pool - soaking the crowd with water.. we LOVE HER!

Georgie Porgie ended the night with "Life Goes On" and "Love's Gonna Save the Day" - with the whole lineup of artists joining him on stage.. what a great way to end the conference.. you could really feel the love...
