Around this time our year became a lil complicated. We had run in to some negative press that was to put a hault on J.Williams 2nd Album release and a major trip to Germany which we had to be postpone till July. We then Made the Trip to Germany spending 13 days there on a major Single Tour With WARNER GERMANY which was absolutely amazing meeting up with Dane Rumble him joining us on this Single promo tour there.

We came back To NZ where J had won Pacific artist highest played song of the year and the team having performed at the P.I Awards. Following this we shot and released DJCXL’s 3rd single “Number One” feat. K.One & PNC in August.

In October we recorded and released K.One Debut Album ‘Far From Home’ which charted top 20 and the Album Release Party was also one of the biggest parties of 2011.

If that wasn’t enough we decided to record a Christmas Ep ”For Christmas” which drop 1st week of December

at the same time releasing 2 new singles Vince Harder ‘It’s The Life’ feat. K.ONE, P.Money & Dan Aux as well as DJCXL’s ‘Lets Just Celebrate’.

Last but not least the sneeky lil vid shoot we had in Dec for the new K.One Single scheduled to drop real soooooon. So all in all, it was a hard year but a very productive one releasing 3 albums 1 ep Shooting 11 vids travelled to the other side of the world to Tour Germany, plus the countless shows we’ve put on in Australia and all over NZ. One can say that’s BRILLIANT .

ON THE ROCK FEST- RAROTONGA

Hard Work — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:56:04 +0000

Every year we support a number of charitable organisations to meet their goals,

whether it be creating awareness, raising funds or lifting the spirits of a community with our brand of entertainment.

One of the organisations we are supporting this year is the LEAF Foundation based in Rarotonga.

Their main focus is to open a home for youths up to the age of 18 yrs.

LEAF believe the correct upbringing of a child begins in the home.

In the Cook Islands, youth needs are not being attended to in the correct manner. There are many youths living in poverty, broken homes, no parental guidance and without basic essentials that many of us take for granted.

FRIDAY 16th DECEMBER 2011

25 ILLEGAL ARTISTS HIT THE STAGE AT THE NATIONAL AUDITORIUM

TO HELP NOT ONLY RAISE AWARENESS & FUNDS

BUT ALSO LIFT THE SPIRITS OF THOSE IN ATTENDANCE
