PAUL PETERSON
PAUL PETERSON
Prince discovered Paul Peterson, aka “St Paul,” at the age of 17. He enlisted him as a keyboard player in “The Time” for the movie “Purple Rain.”
Paul took the lead vocalist spot in the Prince produced group “The Family” before becoming a solo artist and scoring hits for MCA and Atlantic Records.
St. Paul has recorded, toured or written with Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, Daryl Hall, Prince, George Benson, Oleta Adams, The Corrs, Kenny Loggins, and Morris Day and The Time to name a few.
IPaul tours with his band, “St Paul and the Minneapolis Funk All Stars,” consisting of musicians and producers who helped to create the Minneapolis Sound.
COREY DEE WILLIAMS
Corey Dee Williams has over three decades of experience in music production, song writing, music editing and video editing – ranging from analog to digital recordings. As a producer, he combines an atmospheric sound with unique and meticulously arranged tracks. Corey’s background as a bass player contributes to his passion for developing catchy bass lines and funk based modern grooves. He is also currently the producer and founder of two genre blending music projects, which include international collaborations with an array of talented and established musicians. Corey uses his extensive knowledge to place the optimum artist with the ideal sounding track for their style – creating a very distinctive vibe.
In 2016, Corey Dee developed 3Dee Nucleus, a Modern Funk project with digitally recorded live improvised jam sessions at the core of many of its songs. 3DN also occasionally merges funky tracks with his, (and his father Billy Dee Williams’s), affiliation with the Star Wars franchise. “I wanted to take Funk out of the 70’s and make it sound and feel more current.
I feel Funk is just a rhythmic attitude that can be used in any genre of music.” Corey’s most recent endeavor is Sonicbiotic, (the Sound of Living Music), which is centered specifically around creative experimentation. It includes the use of instruments and sounds from various styles of music, while combining loop editing and spontaneous recordings. “The project has definitely developed a direction and a distinctive sound of its own. I’m excited to see where it will go next.”
Lyle Caine
Born and bred in L.A.’s sun-soaked San Fernando Valley, Lyle Caine always had entertainment in his veins. Son of the renowned actor, the late Howard Caine, who played ‘Major Hochstetter’ on Hogan’s Heroes, he spent his formative years listening to Little Feat, Steely Dan, and Jimi Hendrix among others. After spending years playing with such Los Angeles acts as The Path, Face Down, and Soul 7 he eventually hooked up with producer Curt Bauerly (Visceral Nifty) and developed a sound all his own. Released in 2021, his albums Evanzen Ethereal Blues Continuum and Thinking Outside the Bollocks skillfully conflate his classic rock influences with an unmistakable New Orleans second-line groove.
Lake Minnetonka
Lake Minnetonka have crafted a slick contemporary Melbourne take on
the Minneapolis Sound (made famous by the likes of Prince, Janet
Jackson, Sheila E, and The Time). They are known for energetic live shows,

and new wave into an irreverent sonic explosion. The follow-up EP The
Honey Garden featured four tracks co-written with Francoise d’Argent
(FOSSEY, Silver Linings).
In 2019, Lake Minnetonka released Year of the Bat a 20-minute concept

Nooky Jones
Nooky Jones 2019 Bio
After 3 years of captivating audiences with their unique blend of soul, jazz, and undertones of hip-hop, Minneapolis-based Nooky Jones released their debut self-titled album in the summer of 2017, a truly cohesive collection of love stories and music that takes listeners to beautiful places alongside deeply provocative characters. Riding the momentum of the release, 2018 was full of sold-out performances locally, including two runs at The Dakota and their annual year-end Soulful Soirée at Icehouse, as well as a collection of successful tour dates.
In the fall of 2018 the band released a brand new single entitled “Gimme Some More”. Paying homage to the classic R&B and hip-hop singles of the 90s, “Gimme Some More” was pressed as a limited edition 12” vinyl record, complete with instrumental and a cappella mixes to cater to DJs. An irresistibly bouncy, old school funk-inspired track, “Gimme Some More” marked the band’s first studio release in over a year, and represents a bold departure from the smoother, mellower material that comprised much of their well-received 2017 self-titled debut. The band’s lyric-writing team of Cameron Kinghorn (vocals) and Reid Kennedy (drums), reveal that this move was a conscious—yet completely natural—aesthetic shift, informed by months of entertaining audiences across the region with their renowned live performances
On Saturday, September 28th 2019 Nooky Jones released their EP Like Candy at the legendary Paisley Park in Chanhassen, MN to a sold-out crowd. Like Candy 
features five original songs representing the evolution of Nooky Jones following two years of live performances at clubs and festivals throughout the country since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2017. The EP captures the high octane atmosphere of the Nooky Jones live show experience, a sound that has been described by NPR’s Heavy Rotation as “equal parts Stevie Wonder, D’Angelo and Prince… guaranteed to move both heart and booty.”

Nadim Azzam
Bio :
Nadim Azzam bridges folk to pop to hip-hop. He brings an acoustic guitar with lyrics that can often wear the proverbial heart on the sleeve, but the chording is concentrated into quickened pop-hook staccatos with a soul intonation that sings catchy choruses but raps descriptive bars in between.
I’ve come to believe that no one fits in a single genre any more, these days, but this Ann Arbor based songwriter more than epitomizes that hypothesis. This omnivorous fusion of styles and vibes comes naturally when one is obsessed…, well, healthily obsessed, with music…, as Azzam is!

Ingrid Chavez
“As a young woman in the mid-1980s, I hadn’t yet found where I was going,” Chavez says. “Looking back, I’ve worked with some amazing artists – Prince, David 
Sylvian, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Lenny Kravitz to name a few. Motherhood has been a blessing. These things have heightened my sense of giving back. I enjoy mentoring young artists, particularly women.”
The multi-hyphenate has been hard at work – promoting her upcoming album, Memories of Flying, producing a video music video for the single Snow-Blind, and focusing on her Snow & Ink Collection, a growing brand that includes her poetry, journal writings, and apparel.
Raised in Marietta, Georgia, the ambitious young artist relocated to Minneapolis in 1986, which led to a chance encounter with Prince. The result was Chavez’s first album, titled May 19, 1992, released on the Paisley Park Records label. Chavez also appeared on Prince’s Lovesexy album as “The Spirit Child.”
“Lovesexy and May 19, 1992 mirror each other,” she says. “I was writing poems at the same time that he was writing Lovesexy. We talked a lot about God, love, and sex…how we felt about those things.”
The spiritual connection continued with the feature film Graffiti Bridge, with Chavez cast as Aura, an angel. Chavez then teamed up with Lenny Kravitz and Andre Betts, emerging with Justify My Love. That same year, another Chavez-penned song, Do Anything by Natural Selection, peaked at #2.
During the mid-1990s, Chavez worked with David Sylvian and Richard Werbowenko on Little Girl With 99 Lives, released through Ingrid’s own Ten Windows Records. In 1996, Chavez joined the band Ova, leading to a four song EP. Her second solo album, A Flutter and Some Words, was released in 2010. Next, Chavez collaborated with Marco Valentin as Black Eskimo, releasing the Deep & Heady LP in 2013. Other collaborations include Ganga’s 2015 single Non-Toxic and Ride (with Deep Dive Corp.) in 2016.
Today the little girl with dreams is all grown up, replaced by a woman with vision who fearlessly pursues her art while selflessly mentoring other female artists on the rise. She’s featured, along with Ole Theill, on Mashti’s Out of Love. Memories of Flying drops on May 17. There’s the Snow-Blind video, and more on the way from the Snow & Ink Collection. Busy? You bet. That Ingrid Chavez continues to create – those stark New England winters serving as the canvas for many of her poems, the narrow back roads leading us to her ten window studio – is a dream all its own.

Tonysha Nelson and Patavian Lewis are better recognized as Kandy Apple Redd. They’re multi-dimensional international performers who are gaining fans across the globe, in fact, in the past eighteen months, KAR has performed more than two hundred concerts in over seventeen countries as part of P-Funk under the direction of their legendary Grandfather, George Clinton. Kandy Apple Redd’s international flair comes naturally. Tonysha was born and raised for a time north of the border in Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto and spent her formative and teen years in the DC/Maryland area. Patavian was born in Los Angeles and spent her youth on the family farm in Brooklyn, MI. Spending summers together on the farm, with Tonysha and eventually moving to Maryland, they solidified their bond as sisters living a fairly typical childhood. In fact, it wasn’t until later in life did they truly understand the cultural significance of their legendary clan while traveling the world and seeing the fans clamoring for more.
As part of the Clinton Dynasty, one knows these ladies have been singing since childhood and are not the pre-fab studio confection of many of today’s pop stars. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. For Kandy Apple Redd, being granddaughters of Dr. Funkenstein means standing in prodigious shoes which cannot be easily filled. So, rather than attempt to mimic their elders, KAR are creating their own lane. Their forthcoming debut EP “KAR’s Comin’ ” is a gumbo of sound, containing influences of R&B, Hip Hop, Neo-Soul, Jazz, Black Rock and of course PFUNK. While proudly flaunting the Clinton name on Instagram and Facebook as #DemClintonGirls, Kandy Apple Redd still strive to cultivate a unique and diverse sound true to their musical DNA.
” We want to be a positive influence on our generation and make music that restores confidence, love, and good vibes.”

Azusena is a pop enigma and a creative polymath: feeding her imagination through bold, experimental pop hooks, and back through the accompanying visuals. Her first debut single, Crosby, combines the musical simplicity of Lykke Li or Zero 7 with a warm, cinematic vocal line reminiscent of Portishead’s Beth Gibbons or Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser.
The 23 year old, who was born in New York is also a vast mix of British, Iranian, Native American, Black and Italian. She grew up between England and America and attributes the power of the mantra as the driving force behind much of her music. “My dad was on a spiritual journey to becoming a Yogi while I was growing up and shared a lot of meditational Indian music and enlightening books with me – over the course of the past four years I got into meditating and doing mantras in the morning.”
Long notes drone throughout several of her tracks – drums carry with them a hypnotic beat – the power of the mantra is edifying throughout her music. Azusena takes a deep dive with her newest release “In The Water.” The video, directed by Nono Ayuso, is a visual paradise that has quickly gained traction and has exposed Azusena to a new market of international music fans.
