Delta will be undertaking her National ‘Wings Of The Wild’ tour in October/ November this year.
OMI
Omi was born in Clarendon Jamaica and grew up singing at every occasion that provided an audience – the church, school concerts or any other community gathering. His global smash hit “Cheerleader” was officially hailed as “Song of the Summer” by Billboard after a six week reign at #1. “Cheerleader” has achieved an incredible 500 million combined video views, streamed over 400 million times on Spotify and is recognised as one of this year’s biggest smashes. Omi’s 2015 album, ME 4 U, introduced the incredibly catchy “Hula Hoop” as its first single.
HAVANA BROWN
LA-based pop artist and DJ, Havana Brown has steadily taken over the charts as well as the world’s dance floors. She has amassed almost 1 Million loyal Facebook fans, sold over 2.5 million singles worldwide, and amassed over 40 million streams. Havana’s single “We Run the Night” reached Triple Platinum in Australia and debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at #7. The single went on to sell over 1 million units in the U.S., and hit the Top 30 on iTunes in over 30 countries across the globe. Her debut album “Flashing Lights” debuted on the ARIA Albums Chart at #6 and contained “We Run The Night” as well as Double Platinum single “Warrior” and Platinum Single “Big Banana.”
G.R.L
G.R.L. is a multi-platinum selling girl group formed by Robin Antin. The group consists of members Lauren Bennett, Natasha Slayton and Jazzy Mejia. They have enjoyed huge success in Australia with their debut single “Ugly Heart” going four times platinum and their hit with Pitbull “Wild Wild Love” landing straight in the Top 10.
The band tragically lost their member Simone Battle in September 2014. After a brief hiatus the group re-emerged and continued as a quartet releasing “Lighthouse” as a tribute to Simone. The single went on to chart in the Top 40 in Australia. The group is set to enter the studio to record new music later this year, and are in the planning stages of a G.R.L world tour in 2017.
IN STEREO
In Stereo is an Australian boy band consisting of members Jacob Delgado, Efan Karpathy and Christopher Lanzon. The group took Australia by storm with their debut performance on the 2015 X Factor auditions, winning the hearts of teenage girls all over Australia and garnering over 2 million views online. The band’s audience continues to grow at an extremely rapid rate via weekly episodes of ‘The In Stereo Show’ (a web series exclusively supported by Facebook), which now reaches over 350,000 fans each week.
The band’s debut EP “She’s Rock N Roll” reached #11 ARIA ALBUM DEBUT and #2 AUSTRALIAN ALBUM DEBUT in the week of release and saw the band selling out venues across the country.
MASHD N KUTCHER
Mashd N Kutcher are definitely NOT your average DJs! Combining their love for music and skills in drumming and keyboard playing, their first single “Do It Now” achieved gold status and gained support from radio stations across the country. They have become the fastest growing online DJ brand in the Australian music industry this year, with hundreds of thousands of followers across Facebook, YouTube and social networks.
KIAN & JC
Kian & JC is the brainchild of two former members of the now legendary YouTube supergroup Our2ndLife (AKA "O2L"), Kian Lawley and Jc Caylen. Jackass antics and cinematic comedy shorts define this epicenter of millennial comedy where high production values clash with male hilarity. After just two weeks of programming in mid-January 2015, the channel had amassed over 600K subscribers, making it one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube, as well as one of the quickest expanding IPs in digital. The duo also have a new book titled "Kian and JC: Don't Try This At Home!" available June 28 and are currently on a summer 2016 world tour.
