WHO: Ellie Lawson, whose debut album, The Philosophy Tree, was
hailed by Billboard Magazine as "a perfect marriage of
melody, rhythm and voice," is an artist whose compelling
voice and rich sonic landscape reflect personal determination
and self-discovery. Born in South London, the
vocalist/lyricist/musician/composer has invented a unique
musical world that is beat-driven and organic, lyrical and
edgy, thoughtful and entrancing.

Saul Williams' groundbreaking work in the critically
acclaimed film "Slam" made him a figurehead of the spoken
word/slam poetry movement that has spread across the United
States. Williams is the author of three collections of
poetry: said the shotgun to the head, She, and The Seventh
Octave. Williams' musical debut, Amethyst Rock Star,
received high praise, including "album of the year" by the
Times of London. Williams' fourth book of poetry, The Dead
Emcee Scrolls, will be released on Feb. 1.
