Rachael Starr

Combining skill with modernism, and her aptitude for style with ingenuity, Rachael is breaking new ground in the electronic and dance music industries. One of the only female producers on the scene, she feels it necessary to prove herself and work very hard at what she does. "I guess that one of the most important things to me is to not forget why you are doing what you are doing. Take yourself seriously, and other people will too." She says, "In the end what it comes down to is the music, what it is as a whole and how it makes me who I am."

In 2001, however, he went back to his first love: making music.

Callisto

There is more than one artist with this name. 1) Callisto is a Finnish experimental metal band (Turku, Finland 2001-present).

Founded in 2001, the sextet play a timeless, downbeat yet melancholic style of music that is rich in nuances, draws from numerous sources and doesn't really have any obvious fellow creatures or points of comparisons.
