About Josiah Leming: Now he has finally gotten his chance. Leming has begun recording his debut album for Warner Bros. Records, with whom he signed a recording and publishing deal not long after appearing on Season 7 of American Idol. His brief, yet memorable time on the show spurred fans to turn up in droves online to demand his reinstatement. They sent him messages of support and encouragement. Many posted clips of themselves performing Leming’s original songs on YouTube.
“No matter what I’ve gone through, I have the same feelings every kid has,” Leming says. “And I think I can put those feelings in such a way that they connect with people and help them get through their hard times. If my music can give others something they can express their emotions through, that’s the whole point.”
“I try to use imagery that really sticks with people, but at the same time, every song I write is about something I’ve been through,” Leming says. “So it’s impossible for me to write a song that doesn’t tell a story. I can’t write about things I don’t feel. That’s just faking it and I want the music to be real. I can’t control what anyone thinks of it, but I can promise that it’s going to come from my heart.”
About Todd Carey This Chicago born, guitar slinging songwriter just hit the top forty iTunes charts with his EP release "After the Morning After".
Produced by Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Five for Fighting), the new "After The Morning After" EP, kind of runs the course of a relationship, Todd describes. “My last record was about the birth and the bright-eyed newness of a relationship, but this group of songs is more diverse.” “The First Day” offers an optimistic outlook of endless possibilities and reminds listeners to take time to enjoy the journey, while “Gotta Be Next to You” pines that despite the convenience of technology, it can’t replace the feeling of being in the presence of a loved one.
