Island Records artist Nick Jonas introduced himself as a
fully-formed solo artist on his hit, self-titled debut, released in November 2014.
The critically-acclaimed album included the double-platinum and #1 U.S. radio
hit, “Jealous” and his sultry chart-climbing radio single “Chains.”
Jonas, also an accomplished actor, stars in the gritty
television show ‘Kingdom’ - a mixed martial arts drama that premiered in the
fall of 2014. He recently appeared in two more high-profile roles, a
guest-starring role in Fox's horror-comedy series, ‘Scream Queens’ and a lead
in the critically-acclaimed ‘Goat’ produced by and featuring James Franco.
A recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award by the
Songwriters Hall of Fame, Jonas released his sophomore solo album “Last Year
Was Complicated” in June 2016, which debuted as the Billboard #1 selling album
of the week and includes the platinum hit “Close” featuring Tove Lo. Most recently the solo powerhouse joined his
longtime friend, Demi Lovato, on their US tour.
Los Angeles born R&B singer Tyrone Griffin, more notably
known as Ty Dolla $ign, shot to stardom with his breakout mixtape, 2012’s Beach
House. His hit single “My Cabana” was not only last summer’s round the clock
party anthem, but it figures to be played in every pool and beachside cabana in
the USA. Ty Dolla $ign has written some of the most well-crafted and melodic
pop songs on the radio. He is one of the most popular street rappers in LA, but
it wasn’t until he wrote and produced his hit “Toot it and Boot it”, that he
earned radio airplay.
