djn project@2:00 pm

Italian Mood will host the debut in Second Life of DJN Project, a duo located in NYC composed by Rick "Galactik" Wilkinson and Ruben "Swift" Vidal.


In 2005 they met through mutual friend Doug Brown, who was the assistant to music mogul Johnny Wright at the time.

Rick G, then based in Orlando, decided to move to New York where the songwriting industry was booming.

Swift's love for house started at Club Shelter, where he recalls experiencing the beautiful people and the great sound of soulful house.
At the same time Swift worked with Jay-Z, DJ Green Lantern, Eminem, Busta Rhymes and many other artists with engineering, assisting and marketing.

Doug set up a meeting with Rick G and Swift. After meeting, they soon after created DJN Project. Both were into making r&b music at the time, but both were also busy and had no time to make music.

2006 - 2007, Rick G and Swift traded song ideas back and forth most of the year, while Swift was on the road with Justin Timberlake, Fergie and RBD as a Hype Man. When Swift arrived home from his journey, DJN Project was able to get together and record all of thier music.
DJN Project made their first house album in November 2007 entitled "Everlasting". At the start, Rick G nor Swift knew any DJ's or ANYBODY in the dance genre. Swift was in hip-hop, and Rick G was in r&b.

"Feel For You" was released in March 2008.

Because of the noise that "Feel For You" was making, DJN Project was invited to perform the single live at Winter Music Conference 2008. After WMC 2008, the DJN Project was set to roll with collaborations locked down with Kenny Bobien, Arnold Jarvis, and Louie Vega.

DJN Project has alot in store for dance music. We're introducing a new genre of house called HIP HOP HOUSE with the help of Busta Rhymes, Paul Wall, Juelz Santana, and others. This will take dance to a new plateau, where our kids can enjoy life music without drama.

This is DJN Project so far.But Rick G and Swift decided to do a promotional tour in Second Life too, both of them are convinced that the virtual platform has a great potential in order to give a worldwide visibility. Furthermore planning a tour in Second Life is really easy and cheap.
Today @:::Italian Mood::: they will perform all their new tunes but the show will give to them the chance to talk about their musical project and their experiences inworld as well as in Real Life.The audience will ve allowed to poose some questions too through voice or chat.Definitely a show not to be missed!

sean lerner @ 2:00 pm

Chester Pine was founded by two guys outside of Philadelphia in early 1995. Over the years many new players came and went and the band went through many names. They relocated to Seattle and after two years the two boys from Philly had to go their separate ways. For six years Chester Pine has been dormant, but now Sean Lerner has resurrected the music and the style of Chester Pine. Sometimes accompanied by Buttercup Andel you can hear a variety of both original music and cover songs spanning the decades from the sixtes through the ninties. You can hear this accoustic style at myspace.com/chesterpine or at an SL club near you!

carah nitely @ 2:00 pm

Coming from a huge musical background, I am a live performer from the UK. Proud to have inherited my voice from my mum who was once a professional singer both nationally and internationally. I now happily take the stage in Second Life and my soulful voice covers such artists as Westlife, Wil Young, Leann Rimes, Bette Midler, Colby Callait and many more.

mar biddle @ 1:00 pm

Mar started singing in RL before talking, and both she likes doing a lot ;-)

She thought it would be nice to share the gift of her voice with special friends in her second life, as voice hadn't appeared yet. So she started recording songs and sent them to her friends, and from that time got hunted by them to sing in Second Life.

When she sent in some recorded songs to be played at The Not Too Hot at a "Stars Revealed" event, she was asked to make her live debut in SL at the Not Too Hot. Which she did in Feb 2008, after being helped with the techies, which she isn't too good at;-)

Now she is a regular artist in the Not Too Hot, and sang at many other places in SL, including Bogart's Jazz, Woodstock, The Peace Park, the Palace Ballroom and many others, having had over 80 performances since. People keep asking her back. Her music is soulful and emoting, she sings jazz, songs from musicals, ballads and a bit of funk and blues.
