JUAN SESSION
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Juan Session realized at an early age that he was destined to work in the entertainment industry. Though he began singing in his church choir at the age of eight, it was in high school that he discovered his natural ability to light up the stage and captivate an audience.

Juan credits musical theatre as his first love in entertainment because it incorporates all aspects of performing, requiring one to act, sing, and dance. His debut performance as Arvide Abernathy in Guys and Dolls was his first step toward achieving his ultimate goal of becoming a triple threat. Juan would go on to portray the Tin Man in The Wiz, CeCe in Dreamgirls, Larkin in Fresh Horses, and a multitude of other supporting roles in regional stage productions.

The role of Street Preacher in Mark Swinton's original musical What's Goin' On has been his most pivotal and challenging character to date. It would prove to be the catalyst that morphed a hobby into a career. Most recently Juan ended a national tour with the edgy and controversial new musical, U Don't Know Me, where he served as assistant stage manager and chorus member. He also nourished his acting talents in minor television roles on series such as Jag, South of Nowhere, and Juvies on MTV.

Juan Session’s talents do not peak with acting. He has completed a national ad campaign with K-Swiss that appeared in several magazines including Vibe, XXL, and Latina and on television networks such as MTV and BET. He has also nurtured his talents in modern, jazz, and hip-hop dance under the direction of accomplished actress, producer, director, and choreographer Debbie Allen.

Mr. Session does not limit himself and is constantly striving to become the best performer he can be. He has added the title of songwriter to his resume having co-written five songs for the soundtrack of the feature film Gas starring Tyson Beckford (Ralph Lauren) and Flexx Alexander (One on One). He is also the co-founder of Prototype Musiq Group, LLC, a song writing and vocal production team specializing in writing lyrics for a wide variety of musical genres. As a prototype for the future of music, Juan, along with PMG, strives to create songs with unique concepts and fuse multiple styles to create engaging, seamless, and timeless music.

PAUL THOMAS
The youngest of three, Paul grew up in San Antonio, TX and was always involved in some form of Entertainment; whether it was singing in the church choir, acting in local plays, or just making people laugh by his silly demeanor, his passion for the Arts seemed to come naturally and it wasn’t long before Paul realized that he had true talent.

Paul began playing classical music in the 5th grade with emphasis in both the Bass Clarinet and Tenor Sax. He constantly maintained 1st chair in symphonic A band and placed many 1st place division medals in UIL solo ensemble competitions. Beating out thousands of competitors for a spot in the Texas All State Band was a feat that morphed a hobby into a passion.

In addition to music, Paul also enjoyed acting. Throughout his school matriculation he was in advance theatre and would compete in UIL humorous presentation monologs and would place 1st in his division.

Paul dealt with an inner struggle when it came to music/entertainment. As a child he was always told that it was simply a hobby, not a career. As graduation approached, he faced the challenge of following his passion with music or pursuing other corporate endeavors.

In 2000 Paul received a Music Scholarship to attend Clark Atlanta University. He gladly accepted and moved to Atlanta that summer for orientat
