 Known as ‘The Bad Boy of Dance,’ Lucas Prata’s latest single “And She Said…(Y Dices)” has been released as a club mix, a pop mix, a Spanish mix, a Spanglish mix, and even a Reggaeton version to satisfy his rabid and diverse fan base.

Most recently, Prata’s music was heard on the Fox TV smash So You Think You Can Dance.

 Former Star Search contestant Danielle Bollinger ‘s dance anthem “When the Broken Hearted Love Again” spent 17 weeks near the top of the Billboard dance charts and was the number one song on XM Satellite Radio’s dance channel. Her latest single “Kiss the Sky” boasts a Madonna influence and an intoxicating beat.
 
Luz-Divina’s debut CD The Other Side features the single “Just Wanna Be Me.” “I’m rock, urban, soul, and underground all rolled in one,” proclaims the Mindset recording artist. The 20-year-old Bronx native moved from the U.S. to the Dominican Republic as a child, returning to the New York area as a teenager to attend the famed High School of the Performing Arts. Luz-Divina’s musical influences represent the varied cultures she experienced. “I define myself as a funky urban Latina village rocker bohemian chick,” she laughs.

From her recent performance on Live With Regis and Kelly to her hit singles “Find Another Woman,” “Anything For Love,” “Gotta Love For You,” “No One’s Gonna Change You” and “If I Close My Eyes,” Reina, which means Queen in Spanish, is known and loved by music fans everywhere, especially by those in the tri-state area.  Reina’s hits are heard on local radio stations WKTU, Z100, WDRE, WBLI, WNEW, and satellite stations Sirius and XM. The Bronx born star, dubbed “this generation’s Donna Summer” by television legend Regis Philbin, says, “Whenever I sing, I’m touched by the response of my audience. I’ve watched them be moved from laughter to tears” Reina is excited to return to Staten Island Mall for her second Fashion Jam.

 From starring in the 20th anniversary national tour of Annie to opening select dates for Sheryl Crow on her current concert tour, Joanna has graced stages all over the United States and Canada. Featured on MTV’s True Life and the WB’s What I Like About You, Joanna is a familiar face to today’s teen audience. Joanna’s debut CD My Crazy Life, featuring the first single “Let It Slide” and a cover of Dashboard Confessional’s ”Screaming Infidelities,” hits stores August 15th. “It is really important to me that I am seen as a credible. I have worked hard and my music has come so far,” shares Joanna. “I am so anxious to share it with the world." 

Staten Island Mall’s Fashion Jam is a much-anticipated annual event. “We’re outdoing ourselves from last year’s show with more music, more fashions, and more giveaways,” reveals David Albertson, Staten Island Mall Marketing Manager. “Shoppers will be in fashion heaven as they spend a stylish afternoon seeing our stores’ latest trends and soaking up the sounds of the best musical entertainment available.”
