Andre Rhone
Andre Rhone is a modern blues vocalist with deep roots in the genre’s rich tradition. He balances his passion for music with academic pursuits, conducting research studies at both the University of Pittsburgh and Temple University.
Dima Harmon
Accomplished pianist Dima Harmon began showing signs of his musical talent at age 4. With skills of improvising simple melodies at the piano, Dima was far more advanced than your average 4 year old. Upon this discovery by his parents, he began taking piano lessons immediately.
Gaining more skills over the years, by the age of fourteen, Dima took a deep interest in music composition. Soon after, Dima delved into learning advanced music theory and composition classes in college.
Dima has compiled a small catalog of compositions that he is personally satisfied with and has made them available on platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, and others through distribution companies. With a great fondness for piano composition and choral and vocal melodies accompanied by orchestral arrangements, he thoroughly enjoys composing classical music.
Currently, Dima is considering teaching Piano and/or Music Theory. Dima persists in generating ideas, discarding them one by one until a promising project clicks. His own fine-tuned ear for flaws makes him his harshest critic.
