Brandon Boyd, an Advanced Music Production student, has been in the studio working with walkwithaghost. Originally started as a side project by members of The City, Adam Bomb and the Chaos Kids, and Eighty Aech Dee, walkwithaghost carried on becoming an incredible assault of post punk/hardcore sounds. The band is Bradley Hurst: Vocals/Guitar, Brandon Boyd: Vocals/Guitar, Fernando Rios: Bass, and Brad Murphy: Drums.

Listen (MP3) to Euthanasia.

Kyle Lewis, an Advanced Music Production student, has been in the studio with singer/songwriter naomi j. Amongst a tired pop culture music scene populated by one-hit wonders and has-beens, Naomi J is a refreshing emergence listeners call "introspective" and at times "dark." The music of this beautiful and pensive songwriter is engagingly provocative with bleeding emotional intensity. Naomi J's music is a collection of insightful lyrics and a sound that features layers of rich piano, striking guitar and a voice that can only be described as not just beautiful, but one-of-a-kind. Much like those artists who inspired Naomi, the result is the musical story of a young woman battling with life, love and loss, a story more than able to wrap itself around the hearts of those who listen

Listen (MP3) to Girl.

Sarah van Ballegooijen, a Beginning Audio Engineering student, has been in the studio working with multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Carley Wolf. Born an hour outside of Austin, she was raised in the country with a loving musical family and a pack of wolves. She plays guitar, mandolin, piano, upright bass, banjo, and anything else she can get her hands on. She has toured the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe with various musical groups and has now formed a touring act to support her debut release Set Sail.

Listen (MP3) to On The Outside.

David Wells, a Beginning Audio Engineering student, has been in the studio with Lana Anderson. Hailing from the rural southeast Texas town of Sour Lake, she developed her traditional roots singing to Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, and George Jones records throughout her childhood. Lana has 19 years experience as a singer/entertainer in the music business. She has won such notable awards such as: the National Country Music Associations of America Female Entertainer of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year along with several state CMAA awards for Female Vocalist and Female Entertainer. Lana is one of those rare artists who can take tradition and turn it into today.

Listen (MP3) to Hello Goodbye.
