Aaronson Chew (aaronson.chew@gmail.com)
Aaronson Chew is indigenous to the Southern California Orange County area, where he is currently studying Comparative Literature and Classical Civilizations at the University of California, Irvine. He considers himself to be an avid cultivator of knowledge in a diverse range of fields. Not only does he enjoy the enlightened and cultured aspects of life such as wine and cheese, but he is also a lover of corn either on the cob or in his humor. Music is the breath of air in his lungs and the rhythm that moves the soul in his shoes. While spinning on his head, he listens to the ancient sounds of the bass drum that have gradually evolved into the procession of the hip hop culture. He is often imitated, but never duplicated. Fabricating poetry and linking words in cursive, he conjures up poetic rhythms with passionate content at a moments notice. So, keep on your toes and enjoy his stories from the summer of 2006.

Hailing out of Cincinnati, OH, Chad Benjamin is to begin his fourth year of study at the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music this fall. He spends his time studying voice, piano, composition, dance and radio. "I find radio to be an outlet for all the arts," he says. "Yes, even dance! A voice is a powerfully moving force. It has moved some people into combat and inspired others to rise from their seats in praise and adoration of a worthy cause. Why not dance to the joyful vocal vibrations of another soul?" Along with his studies, Chad Benjamin is also the founder and artistic director of The Over-The-Rhine Children's Choir. "We have lots of fun. And that's what I'm all about; helping people to have fun while thinking differently. It's important to do 'something-you-don't-see-everyday' things at least once a day. It keeps things fresh and helps to expand your capabilities." He currently lives in Bethesda, MD.
