Amber Riley stars as "Mercedes Jones," the "New Directions" dynamic diva-in-training, on the Golden Globe and SAG award winning FOX musical comedy GLEE. Riley got her first break when Ryan Murphy cast her in the pilot "St. Sass." Although the pilot was not picked up, she was able to use that experience to land a role on the television series "Cedric the Entertainer Presents." Riley has performed in numerous theater productions including "Alice in Wonderland," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Into the Woods" and "Mystery on the Docks" with the Los Angeles Opera. The Canadian Tenors - Clifton Murray, Victor Micallef, Remigio Pereira and Fraser Walters - have performed to over a million people on five continents. The Canadian platinum-selling quartet are riding high with their self-titled Decca debut CD, which is the best-selling classical album thus far of 2010, the album held the #1 position on Billboard's Classical Crossover Chart for nineteen impressive weeks in total. Their continued success comes hot off the heels of their first PBS concert special, "The Canadian Tenors Live," which premiered in June and is available on DVD. Multi platinum singer songwriter Colbie Caillat was one of the first talents to emerge out of the social media explosion, and more than 80 million fans check in regularly with her on myspace.. She has recorded one of the most played songs of all time, "Bubbly", from her 5x platinum debut album Coco, and followed it up with the #l album BREAKTHROUGH. She is a national spokesperson for the Surfrider Foundation, is active in 'green causes' and campaigns for animal protection organizations. Over the course of 15 years, Train has made its mark on music history with their Grammy-Award-winning song "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" and chart-topping singles "Meet Virginia" and "Calling All Angels." Since forming in San Francisco in 1994, the multi-platinum selling band has traveled a long, successful and sometimes arduous journey. Following their 2006 release, For Me, It's You, the band took a three-year hiatus, and in that time, Train has, for all intents and purposes, experienced an epiphany as a whole. Now, with their fifth album, Save Me San Francisco, Train has channeled their early days, revisiting the roots rock sound that has made the band such a tour de force � and, in turn, the band is united stronger than ever before. Taylor Longbrake is just 13 years old and has been singing for the Los Angeles Angels since she was seven. Taylor dedicates lots of her time to her favorite non-profit organization, Childhelp, which works to help victims of child abuse and neglect. She is honored to be their first Celebrity Youth Ambassador. Ashlyne Huff's first self-titled CD debuted at #25 on the iTunes pop chart and her first single, "Heart of Gold," was featured on "The Hills" and is included on the Platinum-selling NOW 33 album.
