The Low Down and Stuff!!

And The Winner Is:

Congratulations to LA's own Anne Montone!!! On Saturday, March 7th, 2009, the singer/songwriter became the newest member of the Scion A/V family by winning the Los Angeles title in their nationwide vocalist competition. From hundreds of submissions, Scion invited the top 10 singers to their Scion Art Gallery in Culver City to perform in front of judges Franki Chan of IHeartComix, Vice Records A&R, Chris Roberts, and Dave 1 from the group Chromeo. The twist? Each competitor was given brand new music and only one week to write, rehearse, and perform 3 new songs. At the end of the 3-round, 6-hour competition the judges announced a unanimous decision that Anne's vocal styling, her fashion sense, and stage presence made for an authentic and heartfelt, winning performance. Special thanks to Producer K12 and Fashion Artist Ginger McGann.

The Scion Vocalist Competition Prize Package:

M-Audio Studio Gear

Microphone

Headphones

Protools Software

Cold Hard Cash

A single released on the Scion A/V record label.

Break The Cycle

With the recent news of Rihanna & Chris Brown getting back together, I wanted to give you a link to a group that is working on empowering our youth to end domestic violence...as we know, without proper intervention and education, the cycle of violence will continue. If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship - get help. Break The Cycle is a great resource!
