With over 30 years as a professional musician, arranger, composer and producer, Mykeljon's deep musical knowledge and wealth of experience have made him a true master of both the studio and stage.

Originally training to be a teacher, yet unable to ignore the musical fire burning within him, Mykeljon left his home-town of Auckland, New Zealand to study music at the Queensland Conservatorium in Brisbane, Australia. After graduating with a Degree in Music Technology and an Associate Diploma in Jazz, he founded his own commercial production studio, where he worked for over a decade. In 1996, looking to start a new chapter, Mykeljon headed to Los Angeles, C.A. – there, performing and recording with such talents as Andy Suzuki, Pat Kelley, Ernest Tibbs, John Ferraro, Michito Sanchez, and the late Rickey Grundy.

A veteran of the Australasian music scene, Ernestʼs talent on the keys has seen him share the stage with some of the most recognisable names in New Zealand music, including Frankie Stevens, John Rowles, Sir Howard Morrison, Tina Cross, and Annie Crummer.

A seminal member of infamous house band Cairo, which dominated New Zealand tourist hub Rotoruaʼs live music scene throughout the 1980ʼs, Semu has garnered numerous recording, performing and arranging credits to his name in the years since, including recent work with Steve Cooke, Lance Sua, Caitlin Smith, and King Kapisi. In hot demand as both a session player and performing artist, Semu appears frequently at Sky City Casino and various other venues around Auckland, as well as regular five-star hotel residencies as a guest artist, both in Japan and throughout the Pacific.

A consummate musician with an impeccable sense of groove, Bruce Kerr has worked and toured with a venerable list of international entertainers in his long and successful music career, including Elaine Paige, Sir Tim Rice, Dame Shirley Bassey, Michael Barrymore, and Bonnie Tyler, as well as a “whoʼs who” of New Zealand artists – from Tina Cross, Jackie Clark, Ray Columbus, Billy T James, and The Yandell Sisters, to Rob Guest, John Rowles, Suzanne Prentice, and the late Martin Winch.

Kerr currently resides in Queensland, Australia, where he continues to contribute his talents as a session musician to local and international artists, both on electric basses and nylon, steel and electric guitars.
