Adam Fuller of GHOST RUNNER ON THIRD
For as long as he can remember, Adam Fuller's life has been dedicated to music. When he was only 5 years old, he instinctively began to play a neighbor's piano. The all too familiar melodies he had heard as a child echoed from the ivory keys. The early musical foundation Adam built for himself, carried on throughout his childhood. Recalling a certain time in his life when Adam found himself in a music store with a relative. He picked up almost any instrument he could get his hands onto and started to write and play a song.
Throughout the rest of his childhood and throughout high school, Adam Fuller was a fine jazz musician and had not turned his attention to singing until recently. While responding to a band's ad that had outlined their requirements for a new signer, Adam never thought he would wind up being the frontman of Ghost Runner on Third. With no prior training or real experience, Adam went to audition. The band instantly took a liking to his voice and decided to keep him around.
Throughout the course of the band's development, Adam discovered that he was not able to do everything that he wanted to with his voice. While writing songs that required soaring vocals, he finally gave in and purchased the Singing Success program. Immediately Adam found more control over his voice and range but still desired guidance. That was what drove Adam to get the proper vocal instruction from Jesse Nemitz, a Brett Manning Assocaite. After only about 2 months of instruction and practice, Adam Fuller along with his band mates, recorded Ghost Runner on Third's Self Titled EP.

Hayley Williams of PARAMORE
At the age of 13, vocalist Hayley Williams moved from her hometown of Meridian, Mississippi to Franklin, Tennessee where she met brothers Josh and Zac Farro. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning and had also participated in school productions. Prior to forming Paramore, however, members of the group took part in a funk cover band. The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were "really good friends", she "started writing for them" and it eventually "worked out". The band's first song written together was "Conspiracy", which was later used on their debut album.
After two albums the band shows no signs of slowing down with hit singles such as "Misery Business" and "CrushCrushCrush"; not to mention the Best New Artist grammy for which Paramore was just nominated. Hayley still takes voice lessons with Brett any chance she gets. In her own words, "I won't go to anyone else!"

Krystal Meyers
A lot has happened to Krystal Meyers since the release of her self-titled debut album in 2005. The talented teen has graduated from high school, received a Dove nomination for Best New Artist, scored a hit album and has not only become one of the most successful newcomers in the U.S., but has become a sensation in Japan. She's been on the cover of Nylon and Bounce magazines and knocked the Red Hot Chili Peppers from the top slot to achieve her first No. 1 single in Japan. All that can add up to a swirling vortex of changes, commitments and challenges, but at the center, everything remains the same - Krystal's God-given talent, her unwavering faith and her intense passion to spread the gospel.
Krystal Meyers is on a mission to share that peace with the world. With her long blonde hair flying, her guitar pouring out power-chords, and her voice soaring toward heaven, Krystal shares the love of God with other believers and with those who don't know Him yet. "My faith means everything to me," she says. "It's who I am. It's the basis of everything I do. Jesus Christ is everything. He's given me peace and joy that is so unreal that I just have to sing about it. It comes out in my music. I have to share what I believe!"
