Bio:

Chris Akinyemi gives a new meaning to the term "Singer/songwriter". The 20 year-old New Jersey native pulls listeners ears with his visual storytelling, captivating melodies and charismatic persona, which embodies his music. At the age of 6, he started his musical enlightenment playing the snare drum for his elementary school's marching band. By the age of 11, he wrote his first thoughts on paper about love, which was endearing for a pre-teen.

"I've always wanted to feel and give love even though I might have not completely understood what the word meant,” says Chris

Chris developed his musical abilities by picking up and self-teaching himself how to play the guitar and piano. Teaming up with producer Dboy (Souldiggaz, Missy Elliot, Dirty Money) and recording five well-thought out but personal songs that bring listeners into his world. These songs are mixed by industry veteran Harry Conyers (Foo fighters, Vanessa Williams, Mint Condition….) and mastered by Sweetz (Keisha Cole…). Chris is an artist that is here to stay and to leave the footprints of his legacy behind.

“I want people to know who I am or at least have an idea after listening to my records, Autumn puts my ideas in perspective in four to five minutes a piece” says Chris

His first EP will be independently released under the Tannaz imprint in January 2010.Influenced by popular music, he creates melodies that are distinct thus can never be forgotten. Indeed, the world is about to witness what has almost been forgotten in the history of musicianship… A writer who creates music that truly speaks to the soul!

'My Love' by TySu

TySu

He got his Bachelor's degree in Biology at Montclair State University and is presently working on his Masters in Bio-Medical Engineering  at NJIT.  He is also a young working man in today's society like most.  He definitely hopes to be in the working world whether or not  it has to do with music. He is a fighter and overcomer.

Musically he hopes to inspire and also help people get "jiggy" with it, cause that truly defines his personality.  As one of the co-runners of "Tannaz Records", he hopes he and his team can make a lasting impression in the music world.

B-One

... B-One is exceptionally increasing the height of his popularity by extending his music across the globe. B-One aka Adebayo Atunrase was born on December 6 in Maryland, US but grew up in Nigeria (West Africa). At age one, his family (along with him) moved back to Nigeria after his parents lived in the United States for couple of years. After completing high school, he moved back to the United States where he furthered his education and got his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.

Growing up, he learned how to play couple of musical instruments (mostly drums) which he still plays at church. He has taken it upon himself to reach the ears of many by releasing freestyles and performing at live shows. In a very short sprint, B-One is making it to the top of the hip-hop heap, but only time will tell if he can achieve staying popular in a genre whose throne has never been held for very long by any artist. But for now, B-One is rising and becoming popular as a hip-hop star than many others.

Apart from rapping and being a co-runner of Tannaz Records, he is actively involved in his community and aspires to help under-privileged youths with interest in the performing arts.
