PRESENTED BY DANIELLE TOPOROFF
BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SKYELAB MUSIC GROUP http://www.skyelabmusicgroup.com
Cinematographer: Chris O'Konski
Born in Namibia, raised in South Africa, later raised in New Jersey and now a true New Yorker at heart, Dion has lived and breathed the downtown Lower East Side music landscape for the past 9 years. Playing as a bassist in several bands over the years, Dion has graced the stage at all of the usual NYC suspects, including The Bitter End, the late Luna Lounge, Pianos and Kenny's Castaways, and opened for high-profile acts like The Donnas, Bleu, and Ben Kweller, while touring throughout the North-Eastern College circuit.
After years of flowing from one creative project to the next and keeping his collaborations and personal productions low key, this introspective and enigmatic musician has moved on from group bassist and fellow songwriter, to solo vocalist and front man. Dion's debut album, "Gallery", was released in June 2009 and a follow up EP, "The Nearest Light", was released in June 2010. "The Nearest Light" was co-produced by Scott Reibling, known for his work with Weezer, Fall Out Boy and Cobra Starship. It recently reached #8 on the iTunes singer-songwriter album charts.
Today, Dion's original music is a surprising combination of catchy pop hooks with brooding, raw emotionality. His songs draw upon personal experiences but speak to a greater audience about conflicting perspectives and desires. What distinguishes this young artist from others is his genuine lack of pretense and his guarded nature. He almost never reveals the backstories to his songs, encouraging his fans to find their own connection to the words.
Dion Roy's blend of genres has drawn comparisons to other singer/songwriters like Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and Damien Rice, and electronic bands such as Keane, Postal Service, and Snow Patrol.

PRESENTED BY COLBY WRIGHT
John McNicholas is a singer/songwriter based in Atlanta, GA. John has honed his writing talents by writing, performing and releasing albums with alternative favorites Spiller, Lie, Misfortune 500 and most recently performing with indie-darlings Honeyrider, Dank and Sparkys Nightmare.
He considers himself and unlikely songwriter in that his songs are character sketches of his life and the lives of people and friends around him. He doesnt so much write, as he observes and records his thoughts with music. His songs can be as awkwardly personal as those by Juliana Hatfield, as tongue-in-cheek as those by Fountains of Wayne and Ben Folds and as vivid and descriptive as those by Pete Yorn and Dean Wareham (Luna).
John McNicholas, the band, mines a sound nestled somewhere between Fountains of Wayne, the Wallflowers, Ryan Adams and Pete Yorn. John has performed at WMNFs Tropical Heatwave, IPO New York, the In the Raw concert series and has have opened shows for a number of diverse artists like Marilyn Manson, Fastball, Cyndi Lauper, Superchunk, Patti Smith, the Mooney Suzuki and many others.
