Brett Kingswell
With the grit of a 90’s grunge frontman and the charm of a southern gentleman, Brett Kingswell’s unique brand of country laced, Northern roots rock is turning heads, perking ears, and moving feet in its wake.
The life of this razor sharp, rock & roll vagabond began in the small town of Port Elgin, Ontario. After picking up a guitar for the first time at the age of 23, the path of music became natural for this unsuspecting and magnetic performing artist. To top off a budding acting career, and his current and highly respected role as a firefighter, Brett has rocked stages across the continent, having shared the stage with band members of Raine Maida, Melissa Auf Der Maur and revered Canadian acts The Philosopher King and I Mother Earth, and Everclear. In addition to his powerful stage presence and in-person vigour, Brett has recorded with Grammy winning engineers such as Ron Allaire, and worked closely with members of Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Fuel and Kings X.
Other musical heavyweights aren’t the only ears that perk up to Brett’s music. Brett has also had major licensing success, with feats including original works featured on ABC’s hit daytime soap opera “One Life to Live”, and Canadian-made "Blackstone", plus publishing agreements with Nightingale Music, Nudgie Music and Bundini Music within North America.
Presently, Brett is trucking down a path of country rock, connecting with one of Toronto’s most revered producers, Ron Allen, has also launched his entertainment and artist development company 360AM. The duo is currently working on Brett’s upcoming solo project, which promises to be a smooth fusion of hook heavy, groove laden country rock hits

With a velvety voice, richly embroidered with life experience, and a genuine love of music and of his audience, he is a true gem among rhinestones.
Diane Chase
From humble beginnings in Sudbury, Ontario and the youngest of ten children, she found her voice at age five and as a teenager began touring with the popular band “Flirt” in Ontario and Quebec. Realizing the power of stage performing, Diane packed up, moved to Toronto and never looked back. Although earning her Canadian securities license and working as an investment banker by day, the call to write, record and sing took over, and Diane committed to a full time career as a recording and performing artist.
As one of Toronto’s highly sought after and most established female vocalists, Diane’s quest to improve her craft led her to Nashville and home again to Kitchener, Ontario’s Cedar Tree Studios where Diane worked with CCMA Award winning producer Rick Hutt. The release of her first CD, “IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING” followed shortly thereafter. The title track and first single skyrocketed to the Top 10 and remained entrenched at the top of radio play lists for months, a precursor of the success to follow. The video became a CMT favorite, earning the # 9 spot on their Top 20 Countdown. Subsequent singles and videos WALKIN’ AWAY WITH YOU, TAKING BACK MY HEART, THERE I GO AGAIN, CRAZY IN LOVE all ruled the charts over the next 24 months and culminated in 2 Top 10 and 4 Top 20 hits on the charts as well as 4 Top 10 videos on CMT. With the success of her first CD and numerous CCMA nominations later Diane was ready for the next chapter
