Beyond This Point (BTP). Beyond right now and into the future. The band Beyond This Point was created in 2007 by lead singer/songwriter Travis Mendes & composer Jon Campbell, who shared similar thoughts on where they wanted to take their talents and careers in the music industry. The mission: to create and perform not just quality music, but groundbreaking music. To write songs that evoked emotion and admiration from those who listened. To knock down the invisible barriers created by the music industry in the form of “genre” while, at the same time, creating their own lane. This is Alternative Soul. This is Beyond This Point. With the addition of producer Mylon Hayde, drummer Bernard Julien, singer Brandon Hall, bass guitarist Andre Lyles, and guitarist Joe Scuccimari, BTP have developed a loyal following of fans who show up to every show and help to spread the word to other music lovers. They have performed all over the Tri-State area, from New York City, to Long Island & New Jersey at venues including S.O.B.’s, Santos Party House, Five Towns College and, in December 2009, won the top prize at the prestigious iStandard Next Top Single Showcase at Don Hills in Downtown Manhattan after performing their single, “Future 2 Future.” BTP released a promotional project titled This Is A Mixtape?! on April 11, 2010 and a highly anticipated EP will be released later on in the same year. The band also competed in the AT&T College Battle Of The Bands Grand Finale in Las Vegas on June 11. They won both the New York & NorthEast Region competitions to earn the right to compete.

Balistik The Messiah was born by the name Raymond Ortiz in the East Tremont section of the Bronx, New York in 1987. He grew up as a typical lower middle-class inner city kid and had a decent childhood with his older brother and sister and his mother and father. Growing up in such an urban environment, where young children are more than often vividly exposed to the harsh realities of life far before their time, allowed him to portray the joys, hardships, and overall experiences of growing up and living in a lower middle-class urban area as seen through his eyes as well as the eyes of his fellow peers and family. His latest project entitled “The Vault” is available NOW.
