JOHN ENGHAUSER
Singer/Songwriter, John Enghauser, has been on the original music scene since the mid 90's. Beginning with his band Jamawokee, a high octane 4-piece funk rock project which debuted in Massachusetts, John began honing his songwriting and frontman skills. The band released its first recording self-titled "Jamawokee" in 1996.
In the late 90's, John fronted his own original group, Jeng, where he wrote all of the material and whose potent live show piqued the interest of record labels such as Columbia and Virgin Records. John released his second album "Larium Dream" which was a compilation of Jeng songs he'd written during his time with the band. It was around this time that John also served as Music Director and contributing songwriter on the indie films "Urban Relics" and "When it Rains". The "Urban Relics" Soundtrack would mark John's 3rd official release to date.
In 2000, Enghauser ventured westward where he landed in California. After several musical stints in San Francisco and Los Angeles, John has settled in the bay area where he's just completed his long anticipated fourth release "Lost In The Pages". In addition to all vocals, John performs guitar, bass and keyboards on the CD.
Currently, John's new band is performing and promoting "Lost in the Pages" live while the CD is being played in 13 countries worldwide including England, Australia, Germany, France, New Zealand, Canada and The U.S.A.
"Lost in the Pages" has already received critical acclaim by being nominated by LA Music Awards as "Best Album of 2009" in two categories.

ROBERT SCOTT WILSON
Article by Michael Fairman: For those that don’t know him or have yet to discover him, Robert Scott Wilson is both a model and an actor. In September 2012, Wilson won the coveted position as the first-ever male model on “The Price is Right.” The game show hosted by Drew Carey, currently in its 41st season on CBS, issued an open casting call for male models in Los Angeles in August of last year and hundreds of hopefuls showed up. After being narrowed down to just 26 individuals, the men competed in a series of challenges that were featured on priceisright.com. Such challenges included writing and singing original lyrics based on the theme music from the iconic series. Ultimately, Wilson beat out finalists Clint Brink and Nick Denbeigh and began a week-long stint in mid-October, which has since turned into a regular gig. When news first broke that Wilson would be joining the cast of “All My Children” in the contract role of Peter Cortlandt, one could only wonder if he would be departing the game show after such a short period of time. Wonder no more as the actor tells Soap Opera Network, he’ll be doing both!
