Drew 32
Description: Born in Royal Oak, Michigan, Drew 32 started rapping at age 9 after hearing songs on the radio by Lil' Bow Wow. He got the name Drew 32 after his first basketball number, 32, and his name, Andrew.
He's Greek, plays basketball, and raps. His first song was made when he was 10 in January of 2001 about the terrorist acts on 9/11. The song was called "Pray for Peace (We Need Love). It was recorded at MPA Studios in Canton, Michigan by Terry Simaan. The song didn't make any profits, because it was never put out in stores or put on the radio.
Drew stopped rapping for a while, but still listened to the music. But, after getting ACID Music Studio 5.0 when he was 12, he got back into it. Drew made plenty of songs, but the quality was nowhere near professional because of his microphone. Drew bought a $99 dollar microphone at 13 years old and went back to work... this time not in the creation process, but in the rerecording process. He also got an Alesis Multimix12USB Mixer and started recording and rerecording his songs. He also went back to MPA Studios and recorded 2 songs produced by Terry Simaan. They were the songs "Get Up" and "Come 2 Conquer". Drew made the beat for Come to Conquer.
Drew, now at age 14, has since then made songs with Young Poet, a rapper that attends the same school as him, and recently performed them at Avondale Highschool, where the "Enayalatas" got a great response. Drew is on a mission to finish an album and make it available online and in stores.
Right now he's getting his album mixed w/ Asar and will soon have it finished by late 2006 and hopefully available by 2006/2007

Eric Boff
Description: Eric Boff is a rare breed in the world of music. Just after turning twenty, he already knows the history and evolution of popular music since the early 1950s. He has also studied guitar for five years, focusing mainly on blues and rock. Erics almost encyclopedic knowledge of music history is a great advantage. By knowing where other musicians have been, he has a clearer idea of where he wants to go and how to incorporate what has already been done. Starting out as a solo artist he has a high ceiling with his seemingly effortless work on the guitar and his ability to play with the crowd. An excellent product with room to expand to many generations of listeners.

HABITUAL
Description: Michigan natives Chad Griffin, Jordan Cowen, Jake Larson, and Andy Jacobs have pooled their talents to create a rock band that has broken records in the SE Michigan area. The four members have been performing together since August 2002, when they played their first gig at Sunny's Campground in Wauseon, Ohio. Prior to that Jacobs, Cowen and Griffin played parties together and got together for impromptu jam sessions. The group had booked the gig at Sunny's and needed a bass player. Larson, who had jammed from time to time with Jacobs, switched from guitar, which he's played for 17 years, to bass two weeks prior to the gig and since has continued as the band's bass player as well as providing background vocals. Jacobs plays drums and splits lead vocals with Griffin, who plays rhythm guitar. Cowen plays lead guitar and also contributes background vocals as well as a lead vocal or two. "It's hard, in a small community, to find four guys who are musically talented on different instruments and all are on the same page," said Jacobs. Since their first gig in 2002, Habitual has been booked and rebooked at local venues. The group plays a mix of '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and current music that appeals to a wide audience and Cowen said their performances are high energy. "We make it a show..." said Cowen. It's the immediate chemistry that Jacobs and the others believe has helped the band to early success. The four, who are all in their mid-20s, have grown up in the area and have known each other for years. "We don't want to be the kind of band where we just know each other as guys in the band. We hang out together. We go camping. We go on road trips. We're average Joes," said Griffin.
"One nice thing," added Larson, "is that most of us have been friends or have known each other since kindergarten. Growing up around here, we have a built in fan base that loves to see us up there as much as we love to be up there." Individually, each member has more than 10 years of individual playing experience and all are self-taught. This is the first time any of the four has been a member of a band. Jacobs said the group has come a long way since its first gig, and each member as well as the group as a whole has improved with each performance. "I just think that every time we play we get better. We think that and people tell us that," said Larson. As word of mouth has spread, the band is performing more frequently. Jacobs said the most difficult part of playing so frequently now is that time to get together and practice is limited. All four have full-time day jobs. The group is working toward creating an album of original works and to get bookings in other areas. Currently, much of the band's time is devoted to learning new music to keep shows fresh. "We've come a long way in a short time," said Jacobs. To learn more about the band and its upcoming gigs visit the Habitual website at www.habitualband.com.
