Paige Chaplin – Company
I first ran into Paige and her music when she was a freshman at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. When her peers were asked about the new joiner to the Fish Pond family, they would simply say “Paige is Paige”. I soon found out what they meant. In a league of her own, […]
Queen Caveat – Manufactured Happiness
Queen Caveat were building something special even before ABC’s “20/20: Sunset Boulevard” featured them deservedly in a 2-hour documentary piece in April 2012. Debuting with EP “Emptor” in 2010, relying on a mix of music-scene-newcomer rage and decent indie rock ballads, they followed up with 2012 effort “Slap on the Wrist”. With this, their second […]
Toonyun – 9Teen84
Toonyun (Shirley To) is an accomplished singer, songwriter, actress, pianist, and bass player currently living and performing in LA. I met Toonyun on recommendation from the wonderful Margo Rey, a fellow Fish Pond family member and Billboard Adult Contemporary chart resident, who recommended her as a great bass player and a decent person. She joined […]
The Western Den – The Midwinter EP
I first met Deni Hlavinka about a month after launching the Fish Pond family (April 2nd, 2011). I always found her to be a consummate professional, an excellent natural-yet-educated vocalist, a talented pianist, and a thoughtful and rather brilliant lyricist. You can catch some of her early work here. Fast forward nearly three years, and […]
Anna Beatriz – Beautiful Ride
I first met Anna Beatriz in Loewes Hotel, Hollywood, in February of 2013. My first impression: bold, with a voice full of depth, fun, and a passion for her music which showed both in her performance and in her enthusiastic conversation. Originally from Santos, Brazil, Anna comes with a wealth of experience in the business, […]
Hadley Kennary – In Fall
Hadley Kennary started writing music at 14 years of age. Inspired by “birds and beloveds, demons and dogs”, and releasing her first EP in 2011, the culmination of her work to date is captured in 2013’s beautiful 10-track album, “In Fall”. About the album, Hadley says “I think the general theme…has been accepting reality…there are […]
Auguster – A Change of Scene
Jimmy Marino has been with us since 2012. Growing up in Southern California, he had constant musical input from an early age with mother’s preferred Mozart and father’s well-loved Judas Priest. Writing his first EP by the time he graduated High School, he moved in the fall of 2011 to Boston, MA, and Berklee College […]

With a style that feels familiar, and a voice that’s unique and soulful, there’s something new to discover throughout all 13 tracks of her album. She shares a life’s journey through her meaningful lyrics and creative musical intonations. […]
Maria Bohm – Animalic
Maria Bohm is the very essence of distinctive – she has flavors of Tori Amos and classic Kate Bush, but honestly, I’ve never heard anything like her, or seen performance art of the type she produces. Born July 1984, after ten years of classic piano schooling and three years of musical university preparation school at […]
