Peter Thomas Biography, Photos, Pictures

Practically uncontested as the original German electro-lounge pioneer, Peter Thomas fused the spy-string paranoia of John Barry with Carnaby Street go-go music and lounge on his recordings for several German sci-fi series of the 1960s, including Raumpatrouille (Space Patrol) and Der Bann von dem Sinister (The Spell of the Sinister One)

Phideaux Xavier has performed in the New York area since the ’80s, when he fronted punk-pop combo Sally, Dick, & Jane Early 1990 saw the birth of the SunMachine, a sextet consisting of guitar, bass, percussion, flute, violin, and cello featuring three strong singers besides Xavier, whose boyish exuberance and soulful intensity create one irresistible package

Philippe Sarde Biography, Photos, Pictures

One of the most versatile and talented French film composers, with over 200 scores on his resumé, Philippe Sarde is unfortunately little known outside of his home country Encouraged by his mother, an opera singer, he became interested in music from the early age of three

Piero Piccioni Biography, Photos, Pictures

There are few Italian film composers who can boast the prolificacy of Peiro Piccioni Since the early ’50s Piccioni has been a truly innovative composer of music for film and has been justly compared to the likes of Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicola

Piero Umiliani Biography, Photos, Pictures

Along with composers Piero Piccioni, Riz Ortolani, and Armando Sciascia, Piero Umiliani is one of the unsung heroes of soundtrack music Incorporating styles like jazz, easy listening/lounge, rock, funk, and bossa nova to a genre largely dominated by orchestral scores, he penned some of the most outstanding film music from the ’60s and ’70s with over 150 titles under his belt

Although she was initially viewed as yet another face in the late-’90s crowd of teen pop acts, Pink quickly showed signs of becoming one of the rare artists to transcend and outgrow the label

Pinto Colvig Biography, Photos, Pictures

The sound of his voice is probably heard at least once a day in households with children across the world, but are they jumping up and shouting “Yes! That’s Pinto Colvig!” No, and that’s showbiz

Pissing Razors Biography, Photos, Pictures

Heavy metallists Pissing Razors hail from El Paso, TX, and are musically comparable to local heroes Pantera, plus Skinlab and Machine Head — in other words, angst-filled, shouted vocals are merged with meaty guitar riffs for a sound that’s custom-made for the mosh pit

Paolo Nutini Biography, Photos, Pictures

In much the same way that José González is from Sweden and not Spain, Paolo Nutini is not a smooth Italian pop star, but a soul-influenced adult alternative singer and songwriter from the exceedingly not continental town of Paisley, Scotland
