Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky is an award-winning writer, artist and musician who lives and works in NYC and who has performed in a wide variety of venues including the Tate Modern, the Guggenheim Museum and The Herod Atticus Theater at the Acropolis.

Electro-jazz cellist/composer Dana Leong fuses hip-hop, jazz and electronics to create a signature boundless sound. Often referred to as a "hi-def Yo-Yo Ma", Dana has revolutionised the cello with his cutting edge use of amplification, lyrical melodies and collage of jazz textures and improvisations. Whether as a performer, composer, collaborator or recording producer, Dana's pioneering fusion of electronic music and ethereal jazz sensualities has garnered critical acclaim and wowed audiences worldwide.

"The songs find their origins in hip-hop, but this is no surprise. It is actually comforting that an artist of this generation has instilled his poetry with universal vision; a vision that permeates the state of art, music, race and the world to lift them up and bring them to an attention that is broad, and not simply for a select few."
