Gregory Moore - Singer/Songwriter

"..I am a songwriter that has not written a song in years...I improvise until words stick...The concept of this project is to let the songs write themselves... Lately I have been focusing on a variety of ideas that deal with the mystery of the human soul; be it a killer on death row, a prostitute or a schizophrenic...and I also do less heavy stuff (Love songs etc...). I spend most of my time singing on the streets, abandoned beaches as well as the mountaintop hoping to find something sacred..."

Tanya Bennett- Illustrator

"Tanya is a British fashion illustrator and artist based in Hong Kong. Using traditional, digital, and mixed media platforms, she uniquely mixes art and fashion illustration to explore and celebrate the beauty within all women, even if they don’t quite fit the norm. Each image is labeled with its own ‘Doris’ moniker - ‘Rainy Day Doris’, ‘Melancholy Doris’, ‘Winged Doris’... Bennett, their creator even has a Doris name of her own - ‘Pirate Doris’ - which in a way bonds the artist tightly with her art, like a mother to her slightly disturbed and malnourished offspring"

Tanya will be showcasing a selection of her most recent works.

Lucius Clark - Vocalist

Lucius has participated in many music groups and choirs. It was at the Mississippi State University Jazz and Classical Choir where he learned to control his large voice – by fuelling it with emotion. Lucius has had extensive training in multiple genres of music since then, including everything from classical works to R&B. Coming to Shanghai gave him a taste of the fresh and experimental, it was here that he was able to try new sounds and to dabble in Rock 'n' Roll. Soon after arriving, he formed a band called LX with friend Maxime Lenik, and together they played big venues in Shanghai as well as touring across China, leading Shanghaiist to conclude that Lucius 'can sing like nobody's business'. After touring, Lucius then sang backing vocals for Indian artist Majit Lovelight in NYC. Within a few months, he decided that it was time to step out again on his own, to re-initiate his trip to Shanghai, and to finish what he had started
¨ ... In 2008 Lucius entered into an endorsement deal with Sennheiser China, a German audio technology company that provides equipment and service for Lucius’ microphones and in-ear monitoring system. Lucius composed his song “If You Believe” as the theme song for the charity organization OB China (www.obchina.org), and performed it for the first time at an EU-supported fundraising event in Beijing in May 2009.

EVENT is the brainchild of co-creators Roger De Leon and Kate Sullivan who have founded a company as an international and creative hub for artists, designers, musicians, dancers and filmmakers to showcase a broad spectrum of untapped talent. EVENT strives to bring all types of creative media to the masses in its pure and original form.

Amidst the hustle that makes up Hong Kong, this city, and many like it are at the verge of losing the very artistry and creativity that makes it great. E.V.E.N.T.’s goal is to showcase both international and local artists through all available forms of media, in an attempt to salvage and revitalize all genres of existing and budding talent, and bring this to the masses.

E.V.E.N.T. arranges all aspects of a production from bookings to presentations. Along with showcasing talent, EVENT encourages companies to get involved in the arts and use this to help promote their enterprise. Our expertise spans several industries and caters to corporate, entertainment and personal events. We give businesses, artists and private organizations the opportunity to promote themselves through which ever medium they see fit.

E.V.E.N.T. holds LIVE forums each month called SPEAK UP! that allow creative minds from various backgrounds, to come together to workshop ideas network and perform; all in the search for new and budding talent.

E.V.E.N.T. also holds a Hip Hop showcase in Hong Kong called GROUNDED. This event showcases Hip Hop, past present and future, bringing in DJs from all over the city and abroad to play Old School, Funk, Breaks, Bmore and Underground Hip Hop.

Every few months, E.V.E.N.T. hosts themed events, allowing artists from similar backgrounds to be showcased and grow from each other’s knowledge. These events benefit the artists involved, by allowing them the recognition they deserve.

With the growing number of artists that join our community, E.V.E.N.T. also gives the opportunity to teach their talents through classes and seminars. Production space is available through the E.V.E.N.T. office for artists to arrange group sessions or one on one classes to help others improve or learn new talents. In addition to individual classes, E.V.E.N.T. artists venture into schools to share with students, the tools necessary to be successful in a creative medium. Through performances, practical workshops, individual and group teachings, artists use their expertise and real world experience to show students all the possibilities that lie ahead of them.

Serving as an artist’s agency, E.V.E.N.T. gives representation to those in the arts scene as well as allows companies searching for talent an extensive database to find international and local acts.

E.V.E.N.T. engages audiences, stimulates new ideas and enriches the ‘art culture’ within the community. Event will continue to grow and work close with artists, stimulating minds and embracing visions.
