Left Turn Music

Left Turn Music is the home of multi-platinum producer/engineer/executive Elliot Mazer
and Brian Cullinan, a 16-year veteran, and former Digital VP, of Columbia Records.

We have put together a new business model which takes into account the huge changes in music retail. And we've geared our business practices to be more in line with the way music is now created and consumed.

We forge artist-friendly partnerships that help recording artists interact in a new way with their "label." We work with artists as a team to form a streamlined, service-oriented relationship.

We believe that the artist is the brand.

Jake Walker is an outstanding New York City based blues guitar player, singer, and bandleader. With a guitar and vocal style that draw on the deep feeling and soulfulness of the blues, Jake “easily bears comparison to the intensity of blues greats like Otis Rush, Freddie King, and Peter Green...he has that same quality that makes you shiver...he strikes crowds with blues fever”. (Dordrecht News, The Netherlands, November 2006). Jake began his full-time career in the blues with JSP and Alligator Records recording artists James and Lucky Peterson, in the Tampa, Florida blues scene. Working six nights a week in dive bars, clubs, and small festivals up and down Florida’s Gulf Coast, Jake paid his dues in the time-honored blues tradition.

When trying to sift through the many genres that make up the Music Biosphere, if not careful, one can easily be swallowed by the droves of bands trying to pass off their harmony-laden, verse-chorus-verse songs, for true "Rock and Roll". Luckily for the skeptics seeking more than just run-of-the-mill power pop, Scott McCurry has arrived.

Scott McCurry and his band are an electrifying lineup that have embodied the rock n' roll spirit onto a new generation.

"...a throwback of sorts to the glory days of '80s college radio, McCurry and band at times sound like they're playing English pop with an American Accent. entertaining tunes and a new, yet familiar, sound."- K. Oliver (Free Times- southcarolinaarts.com)

Perhaps it is unfair to use the phrase "Just Arrived", considering Scott has just released his third record, a six song EP entitled "Birdies Don't Bark", and has been bringing raucous, energy-filled live performances to beer-swilling audiences across the country, for the past five years. From underground clubs in Dallas and New York to the celebrity-studded Sundance Film Festival in Utah, Scott has earned a loyal fan base abroad.

Blending hip-hop, reggae, funk, and highlife, critically-acclaimed Global Urban fusion band Soulfège has electrified audiences from Boston to Ghana and beyond. The video for their first single, "Sweet Remix," from the album Heavy Structured (Plus), has aired in more than 50 countries across Africa, the Caribbean & Europe, and the band has been featured in such major media as MTV Africa, BBC Worldservice, NPR, the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, MNET Africa and ABC CHRONICLE, blah, blah, blah.

Wow that sure sounds like an excerpt from our Press Kit. Oh wait...it is! Ok, ok, so we've had this lil' page up forever w/ like no "real" bio. Why? Because we are too busy running around playing music and starting trouble to get around to it. Well today I'm a give you a quick summary. Soulfège is a band that is about more than music - we are part of a movement of young people who refuse to be defined by the crap mainstream media continues to attempt to force-feed us. We believe that there is more to manhood than ignorance & violence, and more to womanhood than boobs & booty. We also happen to think that music is particularly nice when made by umm...musicians (as opposed to so-called thugs, "real" or "fake," we could care less).

They won the BILLBOARD SONG CONTEST BEST RAP SONG 2007 and Derrick Ashong, one of the members is featured in videos on Youtube talking about Obama and the need for social change.
