 Artist biography

The London are a Pittsburgh Pennsylvania based band, whose sound is an amalgamation of infectious melodies, confident heartfelt vocals, and layered guitars, all of which articulate the band's ability to deliver strong, hook-laden pop songs.

Formed in 2008 and honing their songwriting craft with dedication and fortitude, The London's first shows in clubs throughout the Northeast did not disappoint, and the band garnered an impressive following with fans trading reviews and live mp3s of the band's shows online. At year's end The London had a loyal fan base, consistent support from local radio, and offers from larger regional promoters to support national touring bands.

Capitalizing on the success and strength of their tenacious live performances, the band headed into the studio to record songs for their debut E.P. titled
"Young and In Love". Majestic electric and acoustic guitars, a punctual rhythm section, and poignant well placed piano, keyboards, and harmonica, all combine effortlessly to provide the band with a unique soundtrack to tell their story. Soaring on top of this fervent musical foundation are Dusty Ray's vocals which, whether at full throttle or at a determined whisper, resonate with passion and melodic sincerity.

The six song "Young and In Love", which was produced by Stephen Stewart Short and released in February of 2009, showcases lyrical themes such as the
struggle to find one's own identity as well as the chaos and turmoil that
envelops life for everyone in their late teens and early twenties. The band
recently secured management from Los Angeles based Ping Pong Music who work with artists such as Augustana (Epic Records), This World Fair (Rethink
Records), and Camera Can't Lie (Atlantic Records).

The London are currently touring colleges and clubs in the Northeast and they
begin recording their debut album in summer of 2009.

 FAQ

What is a Creative Invite?Established and respected artists launch Creative Invites (CI`s) through Talenthouse to find and support new talent. A CI challenges our artistic community to submit ideas or concepts for a new, creative and typically collaborative artistic endeavour that is sponsored by our established artists. CI`s are as diverse as the Talenthouse community itself and span everything from recording new tracks with well known musicians, to designing new fashion lines for renowned designers, to auditioning for film or television projects.

How do I participate in an Creative Invite?All artists are invited to peruse our CI page to find projects that appeal to them. When you find an CI that you want to submit your work for, click on that specific CI page. From there, simply click "Submit" and follow the instructions.

Who is eligible to participate?Anyone. If you are a member of the Talenthouse community, you are eligible to submit your work to any CI.

How is the winner selected?The Talenthouse community votes for their favorite submissions to any particular CI. The finalists are those who receive the highest number of votes. Typically, the artists who hosted the CI will select the winning artist from these finalists. In other instances, the hosting artist may look beyond these finalists to the entire pool of submitted work to find the winner.

How many artists enter?The number of participants for any given CI varies and depends on the interest of the project in the community. There is no maximum or minimum number of entries for an CI.

Is there always a winner?Typically, there will be a winner for each CI. However, if none of the submissions meet the hosting artist`s expectations or project vision, no winner will be selected.

How many times can I enter?You can only submit your work to a particular CI one time. There is no limit to the number of CI`s you can participate in.

Will I get paid if I win?Talenthouse does not provide any monetary compensation to CI winners. If the project has any financial component, the terms of that arrangement will be negotiated and agreed upon by and between the hosting artist and the CI winner.

What will I get if I don`t win?All CI submissions are available for viewing by the entire Talenthouse community. Because the Talenthouse community consists not only of undiscovered talent but also of industry leaders and established artists, each submission grants you the unique opportunity of global exposure for your work and talent.

Do you own the intellectual property rights to my artwork?Talenthouse`s mission is to liberate all artists. Thus, Talenthouse does not retain any ownership rights to your artwork except a very limited right to use certain materials on its website and in its marketing documentation (see, the Terms of Use). As part of the Creative Invite process, the host of the Creative Invite may request additional ownership rights in your artwork as a pre-requisite to winning the Creative Invite. The host may also seek to work with you outside of the Creative Invite process. In any event, the rules for each Creative Invite are different and you should read them carefully before participating. The property rights a host obtains from the winner are set forth in the rules.

How long will Talenthouse publish my submission?Submissions become part of the project and as such will remain on your profile for as long as you maintain one. Should you delete your profile, Talenthouse will continue to publish your submissions in connection with the CI for up to twelve months.

After the CI is over, will the Talenthouse community still be able to view my work?Yes. Your submitted work will be viewable on your profile and also, should Talenthouse choose to use it, could be viewed on other locations on the Talenthouse site.

Can I launch my own CI, even if I`m not an established artist?Anyone and everyone can suggest an idea for an CI. Talenthouse will review your ideas. If your suggested CI is in tune with Talenthouse`s mission and vision, we will publish it on the site.

How do I launch my own CI?Presently our website has a Suggest button for CI`s. Clicking on this button will allow you to suggest an idea or concept for a CI. Once submitted, Talenthouse will review your ideas. If your suggested CI is in tune with Talenthouse`s mission and vision, we will publish it on the site. Additionally, we are developing an automated feature whereby all artists will be able to submit and sponsor their own CI. You can also send your suggestion as an E-Mail to "invite-ideas@talenthouse.com" with the subject "My Artist Invitation idea for Talenthouse".
