Few are born here, but many reside here. It's the city that never sleeps, and a launch pad for artists who desire to make it "big."

The Los Angeles Music Network (www.lamn.com) is pleased to announce the winning artists of Round #1 of its Rock / Pop and Urban / R&B / Hip Hop music contests: Sad Robot and Hewan, respectively.

An award-winning songwriter and performer, Rob writes musicals and songs described by Broadway Spotted as 'a soulful swirl of rock and comedy...urgent songs about neurotic girls, wild odes to ape-like creatures, and so much more.' Fred Ebb winner Adam Gwon says, 'Rob's songs live at that perfect intersection of musical theater and radio rock -- these are characters that get you in the gut, and that you want to listen to over and over again.'

This October, the television and film actress and singer Misty Rowe makes a rare New York stage appearance as she premieres a brand new club act, "Blondes STILL Have More Fun," in an exclusive four-show engagement at The Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street.
