Neil Cabana, Dog & King Creative: With over 20 years of experience as a multimedia producer and musician, Neil Cabana has led a long, incredibly diverse creative life. He learned photography and lighting from well-known fashion photographer Tom Concordia, and after moving to Toronto, became the Co-Creative Director for Fjord Interactive, part of a huge agency called Cossette Communications, where he took the agency’s biggest client, Bell, under his wings and contributed to several other Fortune 500 brands. That experience, combined with Neils’s passion for photography, video and multimedia content creation, led him to start Dog and King, which is now a thriving creative agency that offers comprehensive music, entertainment, and strategic marketing services.

Maragita Monet, Lead Singer for Edge of Paradise: is an American singer, pianist, composer, and actress. She is the founder and lead vocalist for the band Edge of Paradise. She is known for her powerful voice and incredible range. Margarita is also a talented visual artist and creates most of the visuals for the band.

Angela LaFlamme, AngelaLaFlamme.com: Angela LaFlamme heads up a six-piece band from San Francisco that deftly re-imagines some of our favorite music from ’20s through the ’00s into her own swinging sound. Drawing on favorites from Billie Holiday to Tom Waits, the Cure to Count Basie, and also iher own original material, this sextet embodies more than just a retro jukebox, it creates a memorable live show experience.

Nicki Sun, NickSun.com: Holding up to her last name, Nicki Sun is a bright, burst of sunshine and a stick of dynamite you may actually want to hold.
