DAVE DAYS Dave Days, 19, is the #1 rocker on
YouTube. Ever since he picked up his first guitar he’s been writing
music and working his creative mind. His music and abilities were
unheard of in the world until the internet came along. By internet,
I mean YouTube. Dave began posting videos of his music and other
skits and gained over 200,000 subscribers and over 50,000,000 views
in his first year. Now topping 1.5 million subscribers, Dave is
often referred to as an entertainer, musician, comedian, and
sometimes even as Miley Cyrus’ boyfriend [wink]. He has been spotted
numerous times wearing a green polo and white hat and he was also
the first YouTuber to sign on to play DigiTour 2011.ALEX GOOT  Alex Goot is a young
multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter based out of Poughkeepsie
New York. In a few short years, Alex has become quite a force in
independent music, rising to the top of both the YouTube and iTunes
charts without the help of a label. Through his self-produced
original, and cover material, Alex has managed to build a loyal
organic fan base that is constantly eager for more.Recently Alex has embarked on a very successful first headlining tour, received an MTV O award for Best Fan Cover, and secured a spot in the coveted YouTube top 200. With a growing repertoire of both original and cover material, paired with a YouTube channel that’s poised to grow faster than Bieber after that growth spurt, Alex is one of the artists to watch for in 2012. WELLINGTON featuring RICKY FICARELLI  Ricky Ficarelli, 18, stumbled upon his
dad’s drum set at an early age and it was love at first sight. He
could soon play any instrument he picked up, including guitar, bass
and keyboards. He has played in numerous bands since he was 12.Since moving to Los Angeles in early 2011, Teen Magazines around the country, including Bop and Tiger Beat and many others, have noted Ricky as the Teen Star to watch, as did Hollywood tastemaker Ryan Seacrest. He has been featured in the new Blink 182! documentary and recently played drums on The Disney Channel’s “So Random” alongside Dave Days. Ricky is also a road hardened DigiTour veteran. He was invited to be one of only five YouTube Stars to do all twenty-five cities on the monumental DigiTour 2011 live tour. THE KEY OF AWESOME  The Key of Awesome is a Musical comedy
show spoofing celebrities, pop-culture, pop music, and the latest
internet memes. The Key of Awesome features original songs and song
parodies written and performed by Mark Douglas, and his wife
Anastasia Douglas. The Key of Awesome currently has over 600 million
hits on youtube. Their parody of Ke$ha’s Tik Tok was the number two
video of 2010 and surpassed the original in views.ASHER MONROE  Asher Monroe is a golden-throated vocal
powerhouse whose dark-eyed charm and lushly romantic songs, like the
epic single “Like I Do,” only add to his appeal. Already known as a
versatile performer in the worlds of theater (national tours with
Beauty and The Beast and The Sound of Music), films (the 2009
re-make of the Oscar-winning Fame), television (Parenthood, The
Mentalist), and music (as former lead vocalist for pop-R&B vocal
group V Factory), Monroe is now forging a name for himself as a solo
artist, and he’s off to an impressive start. When the video for
“Like I Do” hit YouTube in November, it created a fan frenzy,
racking up more than 1.5 million views, half of them within the
first 24 hours alone.In 2008, he joined V Factory, which scored a Top 40 single, opened for such artists as Kelly Clarkson, Flo Rida, and MC Hammer, and even headlined a show in The Philippines for 20,000 people. After V Factory, Monroe decided to pursue an opportunity for a movie that had arisen. He was cast as Marco in Fame, which hit theaters in September 2009. “Not only was it my first feature and my first lead, but I got to sing, so it was an amazing opportunity,” Monroe says. After the film came roles on NBC’s Parenthood and CBS’s The Mentalist. Jessica Frech  Jessica
Frech, the YouTube sensation with more than 8 million views on her
channel, turns dreams into a “Reality” with her independent launch
via social media networks. The quirky, popfolk artist is rewriting
the music scene by utilizing her online fan base to not only promote
her record, but they also served as its primary investors through
Kickstarter.“I still cannot believe that this whole journey started when I uploaded a funny video called ‘People of Wal-Mart’ to YouTube,” says Jessica. “Just like any other college kid, I wouldn’t have the funds to pursue this avenue and I can’t send enough thanks to those that traveled over to Kickstarter.com to give me a chance at recording a full length project.” Jessica’s satirical songs, covers and parodies have captured fans around the globe since the release of “People of Wal-Mart,” which was recognized by Break.com as the #1 viral video for 2011. Her videos have landed Jessica features on FOX News, Billboard, ABCNews, MSNBC, G4 “Attack of the Show,” “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and COSMO radio on SiriusXM. Featuring Special Guests
