COMPOSERS & PRODUCERS
Karlus Trapp
A well known solo performer in New York City, and a legend in Staten Island where he grew up, Trapp and his band Magumbo – featuring Trapp (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Jorgen Kjar and Peter Levin (Keyboards), Tom Curiano (Drums), Nat Seeley (Percussion), and Rubin Austin (Bass) - have shared the stage with some of the industries most accomplished musicians including members of The Paul Schaefer Band and The Rolling Stones touring band. They have also opened for such diverse artists as Tuck and Patti, Luka Bloom, and legends of Folk and Rock Ritchie Havens and Buddy Miles. For five years until it's close in 2003, Trapp and Magumbo were the party band of choice at the popular Hamptons club The Wild Rose. Creating dance jams and grooving the pretty people every night was the catalyst for some of the songs on their debut CD “WOW” such as “She moves like this” and "Check her our now”.

Johnny Young
Johnny cut his teeth right out of school with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor as the singer and keyboard player in his touring band. Yes, Johnny has been blind since he was 17. Since then, he has bruised his legs and his forehead on numerous stages across the North American continent and around the world, gigging, recording, producing, and even winning an Emmy Award. Among Johnny's production credits are a list of known and unknown artists too long to run away with here. His own bands have included the CMJ charting Dark Black Past, as well as Mudgod.
