JEDRIK
is a very talented young man, who had never been in a recording studio…but who stepped-up to a microphone as if he was born to it! When he recorded his vocals for the holiday album, he was the youngest member of “The Grandma Mikie Back-up Singers”, at the age of six. He is a featured singer on the CD songs –“When Christmas Comes to Town” (a duet with Grandma Mikie) and he sings (solo) the first and last answer lines of “One Day of Peace.” Jedrik continues to study vocal and instrumental music.

JAIRON
is a very talented young man, who was the very first person to audition as a “Grandma Mikie” back-up singer. He came to the recording sessions with an amazing professional attitude that inspired all the other singers on the session. His wonderful sense of humor is the reason he was chosen to be the “voice” of Santa (who shouts, “Oh, yeah!”) in the YouTube video, “Jingle Bell Boogie.” He continues to study vocal and instrumental music.
IGGY
Is a very talented young man who, having never been in a recording studio, ‘listened’ well and was interested in the way the album was being technically produced. He was fascinated with the engineering process and enjoyed listening to the playbacks of the songs. Especially, “The Night Before Christmas” where his voice wishes everyone, “Merry Christmas!” at the end of the song.
KATJA
is a very talented young lady who has been performing “live” as a solo singer for several years. She is a student of vocal and instrumental (guitar) music…and accompanies herself while singing. Katja has her own YouTube Channel and is now writing and performing her own songs. When she recorded her vocals for the holiday album, she was already familiar with microphone and earphone technique. Katja is a featured singer on the CD song, “Just Like Santa Claus.”
JANSEN
is a very talented young man, who is a natural born entertainer! His strong, engaging, personality makes him seem “fearless” --- which allowed him to try things vocally on the holiday album, even when he wasn’t sure he could...which most every time he could! His vocal sound is “happy” which made his voice a great blend with the other singers on the recording sessions.
SOPHIA
is a very talented young lady, who had never been in a recording studio…but was a natural “back-up” singer from the beginning. Because, she could “hear” harmonies and blend-well with the other singers, she got comfortable behind the microphone and wearing earphones very quickly.
CAIRO
is a very talented young man who’s “smooth sound” can be heard on the holiday CD song, “Must Be Santa.” He came to the recording studio already familiar with studio etiquette, microphone and earphone technique, which naturally blended with the other singers.
