Shampen - Los Angeles, CaliforniaPremier Member - Contacting this member is FREE!
My Name is Shampen, pronounced the same as the sparkling wine. I am a Keyboardist/Vocalist, The proverbial, "One Man Band" My music is so full, that I've been known to intimidate bands. :-) I don't use Karaoke tracks or Music Minus One media, all of my sequences are programmed by me in my 'State Of The Art' studio, MidiCity Sound. When you listen to the audio files on this press kit, this is exactly the way I sound on the job. I specialize in any special event that requires quality music. I have a repertoire of over 1,000 songs that range from the 1920's to the 2000's. From BGM to a full dance party, I am completely self contained, with PA system and all of the equipment needed to do the job. I also partner up with other professional musicians from time to time, so I can offer any number of musicians from myself, to a complete corporate 15 piece Motown review show band. To see a list of the songs I do, please Google my web page entitled: Shampen.com/Lizard.html "The Ultimate Lounge Lizard" Please know that I am a music professional, and that you can depend on me, to be on time, well prepared and provide your guests with quality music and a real good time.
Best Regards, Shampen
12" REMIX - Northridge, CaliforniaPremier Member - Contacting this member is FREE!
Take R&B, infuse it with a shot of Funk, add a dash of Hip-Hop, fold in a smidgen of Jazz, and top it with a sprinkle of modern Pop/Rock and you've got 12" REMIX, a six-piece ensemble of seasoned pros based here in Los Angeles. Featuring strong lead vocals with tight harmonies backed by an incredibly funky rhythm section, members of 12" REMIX have played on national tours and recordings with many well-known (and some not-so-well-known) artists and continue to do so today. Two of our vocalists also played lead roles in the national touring companies of several Broadway musicals.
No matter the size of your event, we can provide the appropriate musical accompaniment -- from a guitar/vocalist duo to our standard six-piece "Club Crew" to a big band with brass and saxes to our "Premier" ensemble with 7 vocalists, Latin percussionist, brass and full string section. Your party's music will be as intimate, funky, or elegant as you desire.
Our repertoire is extensive and varied. From the Beastie Boys to the Bee Gees, Destiny's Child to David Bowie, Gladys Knight to Garth Brooks, James Brown to John Cougar, Prince to Patsy Cline. No matter what your musical tastes, we will work with you to create custom playlists that suit your event's specific theme or mood.
If you're looking the right band to keep your dance floor jumpin', get your groove on with this diverse group of musicians hailing from the Philippines, Brazil, Turkey, and the good ol' U.S. of A.
