Tatiana Kochkareva

Hailing from Moscow, Russia, the singer/songwriter left home at the young age of 16 and moved to sunny Miami, Florida on a full scholarship to study jazz at the University of Miami. Influenced by cultural change and transitioning to life in the U.S., Tatiana soon began writing her first rock album, Moments. Capturing the attention of EMI that same year, Kochkareva was invited to participate in the Christmas-themed compilation Universidad Navidena (2006) and was featured as a solo artist with her jazzy take on “Jingle Bells.” In the summer of 2009, Tatiana completed work on her second album Dreamers, this time inspired by her move from Miami to New York City. It is unmistakably rock but introduces something of a pop vibe, particularly on the title track. From Moscow to Miami to New York and everywhere in between, Kochkareva continues to make her mark, collecting experiences, knowledge and understanding along the way. She has a myriad of stories and a psyche constantly

inspired by the world around her.

“Dreamers 2009 is a fine showcase for her husky vocals — no hint of fragile feminist mystique for this young lady — and a supple keyboard caress.”-Lee Zimmerman, Miami New Times

"Russian born Tatiana Kochkareva has a deep rich voice much like Nina Simone and she delivers her songs in a style that at times is jazzy but then two seconds later may rock out."- Andrea, Mossip

Dexter Scott Grew up in the 'burbs out of a musical family: grandma an opera singer, pops a vintage lower east side

rocker with the NY Dolls, Elephant's Memory, Steam, Stumblebunny, my brother a jazzer turned music

teacher. My dad literally parented through Dylan & Lennon lyrics, the occasional Mick Jagger reference all

while constantly playing the James Brown and Robert Johnson box sets. For me it was all about the

voice...

Fun facts: I'm a direct descendant of Roger Williams as well as a Salem "witch", my grandma was a

flamenco dancer in Miami, my favorite colors (collectively and respectively) are dark green, dark blue, and

purple

I always thought I wasn't good enough so I tried harder at everything (still do). Fled to Miami to study

music. Thought I sucked at music, booked bands. Soon realized I had something to share (and that I don't

mesh well with school). Had a rock band, was pretty cool, but it didn't communicate what I wanted to.

Upon my return to NYC I created my latest and greatest, found here in digital form. I've always been

inspired by just about everything and now I feel like I'm ready to give that back. And maybe you'll be

listening and think: "Hey, I've had that feeling too..."

Chris Ayer

Ayer grew up in McLean, Virginia, and got his start singing along to old cassette tapes of Elvis

and Paul Simon on car rides. When his dad got him his first guitar as a teen, he started writing

songs that same day. After moving to northern California, he started sharing his songs locally,

while studying philosophy and music at Stanford University.

After spending some time out of school writing and playing local gigs, he left the comforts of

northern California (“the most pleasant, relaxed place on the face of the Earth” he says), and

ventured east to the manic excitement of New York City. “I realized I was either going to hang

out in the Bay Area and not push my music the way I wanted to, or I needed to change the

scene,” says Ayer. “I was ready for a place where I'd be surrounded by creative people, in an

environment that was good and challenging. There are probably a dozen music shows on any

given night in New York that I'd like to see... there's no better place to grow musically."

Over the last six years, Ayer has been writing and recording new material on a regular basis.

His independent releases include Static (2003), New Songs (2005), This is the Place (2006),

Live Sessions (2007), and The Center Ring (2007).

Ayer’s musical experiments on his most recent album, Don't Go Back To Sleep, complement

his lyrics with sounds and styles that go beyond his familiar territory of folk, pop and rock. The

instrumental moment at the end of “Awake” is reminiscent of the chiming of a Tibetan prayer

bowl. The warbling tones of a vintage harmonium tell their own story on “The Revealing." And

the decidedly un-bluegrass use of the banjo provides a quiet texture on the album's final track,

“Highway Home."
