angelica star

Angelica Star was introduced to a violin in the third grade and thus began her instantaneous love affair with music. She begged for the instrument for Christmas and that same year Santa obliged, allowing her to continue to study classically for the following 12 years. Along the way she experimented with several other instruments casually, but came to know her true love as singing, and consequently shifted her focus to classical voice. Angelica began singing in small select choral groups beginning at age 13, and continued her studies through the university level before she realized it was her own songs and stories she truly wanted to perform. Armed with the memories of a wonderer, she picked up a guitar in order to accompany herself in the telling of her tales. Her first EP, "Erased", is due to be released early Nov 09, containing 6 of her 30+ eclectic pieces. Angelica counts herself very fortunate to have had Theo "hound dog" Mondle as her engineer, producer, and invaluable friend, along with the help of the other wonderful musicians mentioned below, to make this recording possible.

Robert Amjarv is a primarily self taught multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and songwriter/composer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, his musical pursuit started when he sang for his first recording at 4 years old. At the age of 6, he performed his first live rock show; and at 7 he strummed his first guitar. At 14, he graduated High School and attended College thereafter. He studied film, animation and multi-media. In 2003, at 17 years old, Robert left college to return to his primary passion of music, and hasn't stopped since. As a result, Robert managed to write, perform, produce, and engineer three full-length albums for his current project 'Pentamental.' One of which, mixed in 5.1 surround sound, earned him a nomination for the 2005 Surround Music Awards. He has now begun studies at the infamous Musicians Institute of Los Angeles.

At age 15 Christopher Schnack stumbled upon his father's old drum set buired among other antiques in his grandparents basement. He pursued the drums as an escape from the dramas of life and as a creative outlet, and thereby developed a lifelong passion and commitment to music. This dedication to his craft brought him to Los Angeles in 2005 where he attended the Musicians Institute after graduating college. Since then, he has played with many artists and continues to record and gig in and around L.A.. Christopher is a firm believer that "you get out what you put in", and that "nothing is impossible when you put your mind to what you want". These philosophies are clearly demonstrated in his strong work ethic and meticulous performances.
