Hosting a "live" show for the first time in what looks like a soon-to-be  long career, was rising Pasadena personality Riko Clark.  With literally 
only moments to prepare, Riko took the mic at about 10:30pm and the rest 
is entertainment history.  Nervous yet confident, the local 26-year-old 
delighted the audience with hilarious improvisation as he introduced a 
local lineup of promising young artists.

Creator of "ThaWilsonBlock.net", Mike "Bing Bing" Taylor commanded the  attention of the crowd as he opened the show with two songs off his 
recent mixtape.  Young Noy was next to rock the stage and the dance 
floor with a soulful style that got everyone groovin'.  Still on her 
honeymoon and recently expecting, the beautiful and talented Faith Rose 
took the stage to perform songs from her new project as from her debut 
album "Personally Speaking".  Kampaign was also in the house to perform 
tracks from his current project and features with the night's artists.  After 
a quick and comical musical performance from Riko "Denaro" Clark, local 
all-star artist/producer and debut issue featured artist Paco Swartz shut it 
down with another electrifying performance that he's known to deliver.

The night continued as DENA Mag staff, local celebs, and special guests  partied in celebration of new voice of Pasadena, "The DENA Magazine".
