Diploma in Film & TV production and presently working on a screenplay in Pre Production. It will be the first aussie Hip Hop drama film to be made in Australia!
FILM: SHOW ME THE WAY TYPE:Indepedent Film STATUS: Pre ProductionIn short, this film is about the story of a young woman coming to terms with her abusive past. She desperately wants to be accepted and loved by those close to her and ends up having to run away with her little brother to find it (Love). The film also reflects on the youth of today, gangs, drugs, and suicide. It is also about what can happen if teenagers take the wrong path and where it can lead them. With no directions or proper role models lives can take completely different courses.

Aftermath is the big leagues if you ain't strong minded and talented and creative don't bother cuz Dre is the real deal, no smoking mirrors and lip synchers over here.Che Vicious has learned a lot not only music, but about life from Dre from the industry his been in it since he was 23 and now his 37 and Its always changing, so you have to keep evolving with it or become obsolete.

POPS: SONG WRITER/PRODUCER
AKa POPS (Raffi Tomassian) Music to me is an expression of a thought, belief, feeling or an opinion, music is life. I’m AKA POPS, the man with many influences. They say your biggest influence on your life is your family mine ain't no different. My father used to sing for the priest in Beirut Lebanon in the 1940’s at the age of 12. I believe that is where I get my deep sounding vocals.I grew up listening to heavy metal, RnB, old school hip-hop and so now I compose music that expresses all those influences. As far as writing goes, I place my most inner thoughts into words and then onto paper. For me I believe music must be real for all to feel.
MARC PERNELL: MUSIC PRODUCER/COMPOSER
Being African-American, I was exposed to music at a young age through church and school. At age 10, I began playing drums in my brother's band, Uptown Syndicate - a funk/R&B/soul band and at my church. Growing up, I began to take songwriting and music production seriously, drawing on my influences in Urban Contemporary Gospel, R&B, soul, funk and Top 40 (pop).After being injured in the line of duty, I retired from the Oklahoma City Fire Department to teach at the University level while pursuing a career in the music industry. My skills were discovered by major and independent labels in the US and I began working in A&R (Artist and Repertoire) for several labels, working closely with the artists and bands in songwriting and music production. I've had the chance to work with artists I've idolized all my life.Since moving to Australia, I have continued to work closely with new and established artists, passing on the benefit of my knowledge to give them some of the tools they need to make an impact in the music industry.
