Peter Kay

He attended the University of Salford where he studied a Higher National Diploma in Media Performance. This involved a stand-up course at which he excelled.

Neil Thomas

Innovator, risk taking, genius. Neil Thomas is none of these things. He is however one of the most mathematical guitar players in the world and everyone should seek out his autistic genius. It's as if Carol Voderman made love to John Williams (the classical guitar player, not the composer) and this Scottish Rain Man was the result. Perfect music for those with OCD.

Axel

There are most certainly many Axels. 1.) Latin Pop singer. From all music guide:
"Born in Rafael Calzada, a small town in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Axel Fernando began playing the piano at an early age, even gaining acceptance into the national conservatory, though he initially ended up deciding he would rather concentrate on more classic scholastic training. This didn't last too long, however; at 17 he realized it was music he truly wanted to pursue, and began practicing and looking for work.

A Plus D

He's a rock singer-turned-DJ who fronts the world's only mashup band. She's a party girl-turned-DJ who helped create the biggest mashup club in the world. Together, they're "rebel DJs" Adrian & the Mysterious D. Known mostly as the couple who helped bring mashup culture to America, the duo have forged a reputation as crowd-pleasing selectors who not only shamelessly bridge the gap between genres, but between the alternative and the mainstream. This is best evidenced by the success of their club Bootie, the first mashup bootleg party in the United States.
