- Green Day
- As I lay here dying in my hospital bed from terminal cancer, I am flooded by memories I had back in the year 2004. It was the time I was asked to document Green Day in the studio for a proposed documentary on the making of their album American Idiot. Of course the record is now regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, an artistic leap, musically ambitious, always neck and neck with Sgt. Pepper as the greatest album of all time, etc.

- Hedley
- Hedley Hedley Hedley, HedleyHedleyHedley. Hedley. Hedley. Hedley Hedley. We could pretty much just write in Hedley speak for this whole thing, cause no matter what we say, that's all you're gonna hear anyway. BUT ANYWAY. Vancouver's dreamiest have solidified themselves as Canadian rock royalty, even though they're slightly crazy. But they're also talented, smart and obviously debonnaire. And if you're a Hedley fan (duh), you've landed in the right place, amigo.

- Jonas Brothers
- For Jonas Brothers, the last year has been all whirlwind, all the time. Yet somehow, on the road to becoming a pop culture phenomenon, the trio never broke a sweat - other than on the stage, giving their all, and living their dream. If anything, Jonas Brothers have embodied the calm within the storm. And since the release of their 2007 self-titled platinum CD, Kevin, Joe and Nick have used their time wisely.

- Justin Bieber
- Justin Bieber was born on March 14, 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. With a storybook discovery and a superstar looking out for him, this 15-year-old is strides ahead of other singers his age. "I started singing about three years ago," says Bieber. "I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn't taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house.

- Kings Of Leon
- When Kings of Leon released their third album Because Of The Times in April 2007, Entertainment Weekly called it their "crowning achievement," while Rolling Stone wondered: "How good can the Kings of Leon get? They've already gone further than anybody could have guessed." Coming as it did on the heels of 2003's rowdy Youth and Young Manhood and 2005's brawny Aha Shake Heartbreak, the expansive Because of The Times was indeed a pivotal and game-changing album.

- Lady Gaga
- When Lady GaGa was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy's arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.

- Rihanna
- There's nothing like the warm spirit of the Caribbean to re-energize a dry, stale season of the same old song and dance. And with summer fast approaching there couldn't be a better time for Barbados-born singer Rihanna to break into an industry that is eager to celebrate the next big thing. Thanks to multi-platinum island-born superstars like Sean Paul, Shaggy and Elephant Man, the mainstream has been primed for a rhythmic female star to step into the forefront of popular music.

- Stereos
- Stereos took a chance at stardom when they sent out their demo tape and what happened next is proof that they have what it takes to dominate the music charts. Their rare doo-wop-pop-hip-hop-rock is candid, catchy, youthful, and refreshing. Miles, Pat, Daniel, Robb, and Aaron make up the band Stereos. Formerly known as Stand By Me, then Turn It Up, they emerged from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 2008.

- Taylor Swift
- Stepping off Music Row and into the small but stylish lobby of Big Machine Records, a visitor quickly realizes it's not just the walls that reveal the story of Taylor Swift's meteoric rise to stardom. Even the floors have a tale to tell. With much of the vertical real estate already claimed by industry awards, framed national magazine covers, and gold and platinum records, the staff has adopted the tactic of neatly stacking the continuous stream of accolades and achievements along the baseboards.
