CHICAGO KID RECORDS makes HISTORY this spring with our first-ever major step into label land. Thanks in part to our partner, and old University of Chicago friend, Richard Vertel, we have formed the Life Rhythms LLC. This entity will help drive the Signing, Recording and Artist Development of hot new talent via CHICAGO KID RECORDS. We're proud to announce our first signing, WIL SEABROOK. Wil is a fantastic talent from Durham, North Carolina who is currently completing his John Ryan-Produced album in Silverlake here. The "hit team" includes Goldo, Toshi Yanagi, Paul Trudeau and master mixer Stoker. The BEATS are huge on this one...Thanks to Herral Long for the photographic genius and Brian Rohan for the "color".

UNSIGNED ON SUNSET, the Album, is barely pressed, and one of our "finds", FISHER, is inking a deal with Farmclub/Interscope. Big Congrats to Kathy and Ron, and best wishes for continued success. They're at http://www.fishertheband.com. Check out all their good news... Another rising star from the UOS album, Daniel O'Brien, played a stunning show a week ago at the Gig in Hollywood. The distant record company drums beating for him aren't so distant anymore.
