ILANA LORRAINE

ILana was the youngest child, born into a very traditional Jewish home where music played a major part in her home life. She has been songwriting & singing since early childhood & was already on TV with her first original composition at Age 11 where she became a finalist on a televised Arts Programme on LWT.

She released her debut album My Little Tree by raising £15k funds on the pioneering crowdfunding site, Slice The Pie, where she was voted the Most Popular Unsigned UK Act. She devotes her time to her music & helping artists develop to become self sufficient, inspired by her own journey.

Whilst always an artist at heart, Ilana stepped away from the spotlight to take on a position at Sony Music as the Artist Relations Exec where she worked with Established International Recording Artist & Bands on the Sony roster. This paved the way to nearly 2 decades of work in the Entertainment Industry where she continued to work with Talent in various roles responsible for Artists Promotion, Live Performances & Events and Brand Endorsements & Partnerships. 

Inspired by her own journey as an artist and the challenges she experienced, Ilana turned her focus to coaching emerging talent & providing platforms for artists to showcase. The personal connections Ilana made & multifaceted skills she learnt gave her the back bone to help create an artist hub & build an artist community that has now become one of the leading London based underground communities for New Talent.

A popular fixture on the London scene, Ilana was behind the launches & production to signification prestigious live music events & boutique members clubs & speakeasies across London. She also got termed “the FlashMob Queen” as she led several successful Flash events for brands & charities. 

After years within the industry and experience working with some of the biggest Tycoons in the Music Industry in the UK including Vince Power en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Power Rob Hallet www.linkedin.com/in/rob-hallett-76116225/, Ilana decided to take a leap of faith and follow her artistic vision to focus on her own musical endeavours whilst also developing her independent projects that really inspired her: Sessions58 & The Coach House.

Her debut album, “My Little Tree”, is fuelled by her zest for life and inspired by encounters and connections. The signature centrepiece “I Choose Life” co-written with Kevin Mark Trail from The Streets, says it all “i take the make believe and i make real life…” 

Ilana’s life is really like that in a fairytale. After separation Ilana moved in to secret coach house which you would enter via a Garage door and into a secret garden which she decorated to look like somethings from Alice In Wonderland. She now lives as a Guardian protecting a Victorian Mansion in North London where she has her own recording facilities & has decorated to look like something of a mix of Narnia & Cinderella.

The much anticipated forthcoming album maintains the same themes of innocent wonder, empowerment & it feels nostalgic taking you back in time. She has written and collaborated with may artists & producers around the world & aims to release her forthcoming project early Spring 2018.

Her captivating & distinctive sultry vocal tone has been used by Waves Audio to demonstrate their Abbey Road Reverb Plugins, Andrew Scheps Parallel Plug Ins and at NAMM.

She became an Artist Ambassador for Harman International – JBL and AKG where she is currently producing her own series of Pop Up Gigs in Enchanting Spaces.

SZILVA aka SZILVA VECSERDY

Szilva is a multi-faceted recording artist, voice actress, lyricist, songwriter & music producer. She is a first generation Australian native with a Hungarian family heritage and currently resides in Los Angeles. 

Szilva was set on her music career aspirations from an early age when she quickly discovered her natural vocal talent and began writing her own songs and lyrics. Szilvas’ hunger to pursue a career in music accelerated and led her to attend Monash University where she was accepted to study a Bachelor of Music. Szilva also studied ‘Jazz and Improvisation’ at Box Hill College of Music.

After performing live shows throughout Melbourne, including the world famous “Crown Casino,” Szilva experienced her first taste of National radio airplay on FOX FM. Szilva was selected as a semi-finalist in the “Nescafe Big Break,” a nationwide competition that 1000s of talented young Australians compete in annually.

Hungry to move forward, Szilva branched off into a solo career, and taught herself music production through a vigorous course of trial and error. Szilva wrote, produced and recorded her first solo album. Szilva then took a leap across the oceans to Los Angeles to pursue her career in music and promote her new record. While abroad, Szilva’s music video for “Own Little World” was broadcasted throughout Australia and New Zealand on National television. 

Soon after planting her feet in California, Szilva won the Los Angeles Semi Finals of the Emergenza Music Festival and performed live in Austin TX at the South by Southwest Music Festival. Szilva has been creating music in the studio with multi-platinum award winning writer/producer Chris Landon and together they have formed “222 Music Group”.

Szilva’s passion for making music has paired with her dedication to creative activism. She has created original music for many productions and events that raise consciousness about humanitarian and environmental issues relating to gender rights, homelessness, education and wildlife preservation.    

“There is nothing more fulfilling than creatively joining forces with a cause that is in line with my values. This gives my life and soul purpose.”  

Szilva’s music is represented by companiesincluding Sony/ATV, EMI Music Publishing, Sync Stories, and APM. Szilva’s diverse catalogue of music spans many genres from commercial pop to cinematic & world fusion. Her voice and music have been featured in an array of films, tv shows, commercials, documentaries and products, in over 30 countries across the globe. 

In late 2020, Szilva was a featured performer in the world’s first augmented reality feature movie called “It’s Christmas All Over With The Goo Goo Dolls”. Currently this film is in consideration for the 2021 Emmy’s for nominations in 4 categories.

Her song “Fighter” received the Silver award for ‘Best Original Song’ in the ‘Hollywood Gold Awards’ and was nominated for ‘Best Music’ in the Queen Palm International Film Festival in California.

In February 2021, Szilva is nominated for “Best Music” in the Sante Fe Film Festival for the award-winning documentary “What If…” in New Mexico, USA.

MARCUS G. MILLER

Marcus Miller wants to spread curiosity, imagination, and beauty through his work in music, mathematics and other fields of interest.

He began studying saxophone at age nine and, with the help of world renown saxophonist Bruce Williams (Roy Hargrove, Juilliard, World Saxophone Quartet), developed a passion that put him on stage at 13. With gifts extending beyond music, he graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Mathematics. After a short stint at a major hedge fund he moved to New York City to pursue music. He soon developed a reputation as a versatile and virtuosic player, while studying music production and engineering under Grammy-Winning Engineer “Bassy” Bob Brockman (Notorious B.I.G, Herbie Hancock, D’Angelo).

Marcus has performed at the Obama White House, Madison Square Garden, The World Economic Forum at Davos, The Montreux Jazz Festival, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Jon Batiste, and Carnegie Hall. In addition, he has worked with musical giants ELEW and Jazzmeia Horn, and is a regular at Daybreaker NYC, touring with them on Oprah’s 2020 vision tour. He works as a teaching artist at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and was noted as an Artist of Distinction by the state of New Jersey.

Marcus maintains his interest in mathematics and physics by giving talks and performances that combine Math and Music. He has been featured at the Falling Walls 2020 Virtual Conference for Berlin Science Week, TEDSummit 2019, TEDxOttawa 2019, Brown University, University of Georgia, University of Michigan, and venues in Istanbul, Hong Kong. He has also held a 2 year residency at the National Museum of Mathematics in New York City called Quadrivium: Math Plus Music. He hopes to encourage people to become more aware of the potential for mathematics and music to serve as routes to personal, spiritual, and community development.

JONATHAN MASTERS

Jonathan grew up in Concord, Massachusetts. For Masters, the backdrop of history was never far away, as Concord was home to the start of the American Revolution, Walden Pond, David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson. His family enjoyed a semi-rural life and a dramatic changing of the seasons. From the backyard, Jonathan, his Dad and his telescope could often be found there gazing at the clear night sky.

His physicist dad played Dixieland music, and loved of classic and contemporary cars. One of Jonathan’s early memories was seeing the first ruby laser – (which filled a room) – shoot a coherent beam of red light onto a piece of paper. For Jonathan, it sparked a life-long quest to understand the nature of life and the universe.

After graduating with an MBA from Northwestern and a stint in NYC in consulting, Jonathan lived in a spiritual community in Fairfield, Iowa for several years, and meditated in the golden domes twice a day. There, he worked with a master healer – who carried the vibration of Madhu-chhandas, or embodiment of bliss. As he began working with her and with the principles of Right Use of Will, Masters says “My understanding and experience of reality was expanding quickly – and limiting, mostly unconscious beliefs, or samskaras, were being dissolved. This included beliefs that; we couldn’t be or live as we want, we limit ourselves for a reason, and we really don’t deserve or know how to use our power. My experience was that essential elements of myself were brought back, including learning how to bring them back. These experiences gave me a sense of integrated, expanding wholeness that really is the basis for the book.”

God Has Infinite Frequency: Aphorisms for Our Fractured Age has also had its own process of evolution and refinement, finally arriving in the current form. Blending art and insight, this beautifully crafted book takes us on a tour of many of our dearly held beliefs – challenging them, and giving us the precious opportunity to reconsider, feel, and to see things anew. Jonathan says of the book:

I feel like the steward of this book as much as its author, and although I am a fairly private person, let me share a perspective. We all have inward and outward journeys, and for me, the book is a meeting point between the two. The markers of my inward journey include learning and teaching meditation, being under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Right Use of Will, and working with other people and guides to expand awareness and develop inner light and stability. My outward journey is perhaps more traditional; husband, father, entrepreneur, inventor, amateur musician, professional consultant. But I also want to tell you, dear reader, that the story of me is deeply embedded in the story of us. The beginning of Earth as a crystal planet – from light and rocks to flowing life – and the long journey to now. And of course, the many times we tried. Tried to heal, tried to find balance and connection with ourselves and with love – tried to come to the point of silence and knowing within ourselves and our community. And how we seemed, so often, to be set back by our own limitations and fragmentation. And yet – how we emerged each time – maybe more condensed, but also more humble and grounded and wise, and knowing we belong to the vast totality – our small individualities like so many spots on the leopard, vanishing in the grass, hidden in the Savannah on Earth, rounding the Milky Way, in our tiny corner of space – and an integral part of the whole cosmos.

Jonathan lives with his wife in Zurich, Switzerland near a forest with great trails where he loves his daily bike ride. They also enjoy trips to the Alps, and when possible, an annual sojourn to the azure Mediterranean Sea.

Anthony Teresi is a renowned clairvoyant, master astrologer,

psychic visionary, sound healer, and empath, highly respected for his

compassion and integrity. Ever striving to grow into complete alignment with

the highest states of consciousness, his soul mission has been the

development, refinement, exploration, and mastery of his intuitive and psychic

nature.



He has to lead a life dedicated to extensive study and experience, through

which he has attained a remarkable capacity to access and embody the worlds

of vibrational healing, clairvoyance, psychic phenomenon, metaphysics,

cosmology, mysticism, theosophy, ontology, eastern and western philosophy,

Gnosticism, a flower of life physics, psychology, and beyond. Through the

attainment of this vast knowledge, his passionate desire to realize full

self-discovery and enlightened transformation grew, leading him to even more

esoteric studies.



Longing to go even deeper, he gained further spiritual insight through the

the practice of single-point meditation, which revealed a new sensory gift; the

ability to communicate directly through consciousness the unspoken language

of the heart. Upon the activation of this heightened awakening, he began

hearing and feeling the voices of those in need on a global scale, and felt

compelled to rise to that call, for now, was the time to share these gifts in

a greater way. While Anthony’s true path has always been grounded in

commitment and service to humanity, the totality of these experiences had

become greater than the sum of their parts. As a new consolidated vehicle of

expression emerged, he became compelled to reach out as a beacon of

understanding and hope, helping humanity and all those seeking a deeper truth

to find and follow their own true path.



Recently, Anthony has passionately studied the emerging fields of neural

plasticity, epigenetics, heart-mind coherence, and the wondrous concepts

relating to The Field. The blossoming of Anthony’s natural born gifts bore

the unique capacity to tune in to the realm of universal knowledge and the

hidden mysteries of the cosmos. This knowing empowers him to see, hear and,

most importantly, interpret messages from spirit, revealing profound inner

truths. This revelation was made possible as he has been granted passage

through multidimensional portals of consciousness that link humanity with the

realm of infinite possibility, both here in this plain of existence and

beyond.



Choosing to travel the path of the mystic visionary, Anthony’s journey

simultaneously flowed into cosmic attunement, musical revelations,

multifaceted creativity, and artistic expression. Bridging both the physical

and celestial forces giving him a pure connection with the realms of the

cosmic and divine, his expanded perceptive sensitivity is intimately attuned

to a chorus of heavenly guides and the eternal beings that watch over us all.

Born with expanded awareness, Anthony has always been touched by and

connected with the divine presence that surrounds and flows through every

living creation. This is a precious blessing that has given him untold

insight into the limitless nature of Being.



Anthony is a multidimensional traveler who fuses his innate gifts with

intelligence and the wisdom born of heart-centered intuition. He has taught

and administered spiritual healing and guidance to thousands from around 

the globe as they search to experience and understand the unseen forces that

shape and transform all of our lives.



With his remarkable new book Rippling Waves: A Spiritual Journey Through the

Heart of the Universe, Anthony brings us along with him on one of his

journeys back to the source of our creation.

EXCLUSIVE ZOOM INTERVIEW

with RAY SHASHO

on INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

When sax player Emilio Castillo put together the band that would evolve into Tower of Power in 1968, he had no grand expectations. “We were hoping to get good enough to play the Fillmore,” Castillo said. “I started the band in Fremont, at John F. Kennedy High, with my brother Jack, who was the original drummer. The band moved up to Oakland and took off, packing clubs with their horn-driven sound. “Oakland is our sound,” Castillo said. “I always say, ‘You can take the boy out of Oakland, but you can’t take Oakland out of the boy.’ Looking back on the band’s history, Castillo said he’s satisfied with what they’ve accomplished. “We’re not a band that reinvents itself every time we go into the studio. We sound like Tower of Power and there’s nothing we can do about it. At first, I thought it was a curse but, as we kept evolving, I realized it was a blessing. We kept chipping away at the sculpture we were creating. The aim is to arrive at a masterpiece. You have to tell us if we’ve succeeded.” 

The groups latest release is TOWER OF POWER 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater captures Tower of Power’s storied career with no-holds-barred victory lap concerts in Oakland, CA on June 1 & 2, 2018, performing their full spectrum of life-affirming funk and soul hits.

Available as a 3-LP set, 2-CD/1-DVD package, standalone DVD and digital audio configuration, these historic performances include special guests Lenny Pickett (musical director of the Saturday Night Live band); keyboardist Chester Thompson (Santana); guitarist Bruce Conte and former vocalist Ray Greene, who shows off his trombone prowess.
