J.T. Steele was born January 1, 1969 in Stone Mountain, Georgia as John Steven O'Kelley. He attended High School at Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia. Brookwood's claim to fame was Jason Elam, kicker for the Denver Broncos. Following High School, J.T. enlisted into the United States Army. Basic Training at Ft. Leonardwood, Missouri, AIT Training at Ft. Lee, Virginia, Jump school at Ft. Benning, Georgia and finally stationed permanently at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.
Following his initial military enlistment, J.T. moved on and joined up with Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus (Blue Show). He joined the show in Macon, GA and continued up the coast to New York City where the show spent five weeks at Madison Square Gardens. Working on props for the show left him a good amount of time to write. As the show was packing up to leave the Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA, J.T., left the show and headed west to Los Angeles.
Arriving in Los Angeles, he took an instant liking to the weather and the laid back atmosphere of the west coast. This is were he began his rise up the ladder on the entertainment industry. Starting out as an extra, he decided that acting wasn't his calling and moved behind the camera. He felt more at home here. Within one year, he moved from PA to extras coordinator for many films, a few with Chris Grey Casting but most in the employ of VMI Casting, now defunct. It was during this time that J.T. realized that he would rather assist others in realizing their dreams which would in turn help him to realize his.
He moved into the management arena and began to take on some clients until 2000 he started to devote his time to his passion...music. He was a singer as a kid and traveled with the Atlanta Boys Choir to Europe, where the group sang for the royal family, including the Queen of England, as well as attended a party at the American Embassy. It is a little known fact that his chaperon on this overseas excursion was Lillian Carter, mother to Former President, Jimmy Carter. Following the European tour, a special concert was given at the memorial of the Holocaust, where the singing group and J.T. met the president and his family.
In 2000, J.T. began working exclusively with Creative Horizons and Tenacity Records, companies by Michael Ricciardi, songwriter/composer. J.T. was the resident music producer and vocal coach for the recording sessions as well as handing Mr. Ricciardi's career. In the employ of Creative Horizons, J.T. produced over 30 tracks, mostly demos used by Mr. Ricciardi that would be submitted to production companies for use in soundtracks for films and television.
In 2004, J.T. started Jay T Steele Entertainment. He will be scouting, developing and releasing new talent found in the Los Angeles area. He believes there are diamonds hidden the rock pile of L.A. Included along with the management division, there is production for music and film. J.T has several scripts in the works as well as a poem that is being published in two books.
He is currently a freelance writer and can be seen in the new online E-Zine "In The Scene" Magazine. His first published article is in the October issue in the Nightlife Section regarding The Shark's Cove in Hermosa Beach.

Francesco Speroni was born on 1 January 1969 in Seravezza, Tuscany, Italy. He is known for Raging Planet (1997).- Mike has had a lifelong healthy appetite for learning which shows no sign of abating. Coupled with life experiences aplenty and a, frankly, disturbingly over active imagination. He's got stories to tell...and he's committing them to paper / disk / cloud.
With a demanding day job, but an ever increasing inner yearning to share with the world, Mike is a creative soul residing in a slightly lumpy organisational change professional's body. He is grateful for the opportunities this career has brought and the insights into the human psyche it has brought with it.
Mike has several projects on the go and is enjoying collaborating with the exceptionally talented Maddie Pursey under the joint banner of L'eau Co Productions. This has opened the flood gates for Mike and they are hard at it writing screenplays across a number of genres and formats. This has led to a re-awakening for Mike in other, oft forgotten areas, including drawing, poetry and, well, just writing!
"Working and riffing with Maddie brings me a joy that writing used to bring me when I was a kid, before I bound myself in society norms. This has rubbed off in my personal projects".
Those personal projects in the pipeline include: an illustrated book of musings and poetry, and a full on autobiography.
"I may yet merge them, but at the moment they are standalone pieces..."
he goes on
"...I have had mental health issues in the past; getting pretty damn near the bottom. That feels a million miles away now, but the one thing I have never lost, oddly, is humour... dark humour".
The latter comes through in much of Mike's work, but, being a "...typically complex human being..."
as he puts it, he
"...likes to experiment..." in different styles. - Robert Hennig was born on 1 January 1969 in Gdynia, Pomorskie, Poland. He is an actor, known for The Daughters of Fortune (1999), Boys Don't Cry (2000) and Magda M. (2005).

Bobby Bruce was born in Port Coquitlam. British Columbia. His incomparable talent for impersonating Neil Diamond was finally realized there in 1994 He has never looked back. Bobby has played with some of the biggest shows in the business including a ten-month tour of the US with Las Vegas based Legend's in Concert, and two tours of Australia with Legends of Rock. He has performed at some of the best venues including the Toronto Skydome, selling out Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom and on board several luxury liners at sea in the South Pacific.
Bobby has played for some very impressive audiences, from corporate giants to the King and Queen of Malaysia - and let us not forget his largest audience to date - 30,000 people in Calgary. From far off locations, such as Kota Kinabalu on the island of Borneo, to Maui, to Australia (where he earned his moniker - the Australian press dubbing him "Nearly Neil"), to more local locales such as Atlantic City, Branson, Missouri, and throughout Canada, whether in a soft seat theater, to a crowded night club, or to the Royal family, everyone enjoys Bobby's shows.
In spring of 2002, Artizan Productions, a Vancouver based film company released "Mockstars," a feature length documentary about Canadian tribute artists. Bobby had been an integral part of their one million dollar budget pitch at the 2000 Banff Television Festival. Mockstars enjoyed its worldwide television premiere on May 14, 2002 on Bravo in Canada. Mockstars has rerun several times and also aired on television in New Zealand.
Bobby is the consummate entertainer, always looking for new ways to express himself on stage. He not only shines as Nearly Neil, he outdoes himself as a myriad of outrageous characters in The Shagadelic Swingers, a musical tribute to the Austin Powers movies which toured Bosnia in 2003 entertaining the Canadian troops stationed there.
Also in 2003, Bobby headlined his first International tour of New Zealand. In June of 2004, as Nearly Neil he was chosen to open Lulu's lounge at the River Rock Casino and Resort in Richmond, BC. Bobby was also asked to create and produce a showcase of talent for five nights a week throughout the summer at the Casino. The result was the creation of three new shows Great Canadian Bandstand - A Celebration of Canadian Music. AM/FM - Every style across the dial and Bobby Bruce - My Life. Bobby continues to perform at the River Rock Casino, on select dates.
2005, will see a return of Nearly Neil to Malaysia and numerous shows are planned throughout British Columbia and Canada throughout the summer. Including his 8th appearance at the Pacific National Exhibition.
In additional to writing and recording original music, Bobby has packed an incredible amount of performing, travel and energy into the last decade, yet his insatiably creative mind is still crafting innovative and astoundingly trendy ideas as the President of P3 Productionz. The next decade will see Bobby fulfilling dreams he has yet to conjure.- Actor
