He is a former employee of Gibson Musical Instruments' Marketing and Artist Relations department. He has also been a contributing writer to publications such as Guitar Player, Musician, Electronic Musician, Music and Computers, harmonycentral.com, Music Row Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The Nashville Tennessean, and The Nashville Scene. He also worked as a freelance publicity writer for several Nashville-based record labels.Brett prides himself on his ability to play in a wide variety of genres. Monica’s music, for example, is hook-heavy indie pop with strong elements of electronica. His work with Derrick, meanwhile, centers around roots rock, southern rock, and country. Brett learned to play listening to Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Joe Satriani. As such, guitar-heavy, blues-based rock is his favorite. He is first and foremost an electric guitarist, but in his studio work, he routinely finds himself doubling on bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and even occasionally vocals."Brett Ratner's guitar can pierce like a stiletto or ooze like some sort of thick liquid (that's a compliment)." - Music Row Magazine, Nashville, Tennessee"Brett Ratner's fingers are quick on his guitar, and his feet are quick on his effects pedals - at times... it sounds like there's an entire guitar section." - The Daily Iowan, Iowa City, Iowa"Brett Ratner is one of the most engaging new acts in the area. Ratner's raw vocals combined with his straightforward, hard guitar playing create a passionate performance in the blues/folk tradition." - Chris Wolak, Borders Books and MusicBrett Ratner4521 N.

Raul Acosta, better known in the music industry as "El Presidente del Merengue," was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on September 8, 1971. Born into a musical family, at the age of seven, he and his older brothers Iván and Rafael, in addition to local neighborhood kids, started a pre-adolescent music group called "Los Sobrinos Del Rey". This was the Dominican version of the Jackson 5. With this early experience, Raul was able to develop his musical talent as well as his stage presence. The group went on to perform in two nationally televised shows on the government TV station, channel four, for a show called "Amarillis con los Niños.” At 9 years old, the family relocated to the United States like every other immigrant family, to work hard and prosper. With no English skills, Raul moved to Jersey City, New Jersey to start his new life. Years later, he moved to Union City where the Hispanic culture was growing stronger.Upon graduating from high school, Raúl began his studies in music and sound engineering by joining Kennedy's Music World, a local music school. There he worked retail and operated the music studio as well as helped students in their classes. In 1990, after graduating high school, he held different positions within the Hudson County government. Finally, in 1994, he formed New York's hottest and most established merengue band, Oro Sólido. That same year, he released his self-titled debut album, Oro Sólido. To his amazement, it was the beginning of a long and exciting career that has spanned over 12 years and worldwide recognition.The albums came almost every year after that. With hits like "Ta Cache," "La Tanguita Roja," "Maria se Fue," "El Baile del Beeper," "Una Nalgadita," "La Morena," and many more, Oro Sólido, positioned itself as one of the biggest Latin music groups in the world. They have surpassed various barriers when it comes to performing in the Anglo media and having their music played on English-speaking radio stations. Raul Acosta has been nominated for and won numerous awards throughout the years, including Premios Estrella, Premios ACE y Premio Lo Nuestro, just to name a few.The group has performed regularly on some of Hispanic TV’s most distinguished and popular TV shows. Oro Sólido was also the first merengue band to perform on Fox 5 News New York and The Jerry Lewis Telethon. The group has also performed over 5 times in the renowned Madison Square Garden as well as other famous arenas like the Universal City Amphitheater in Los Angeles, El Zócalo de Mexico, Estadio Modelo de Ecuador, El Monumento in Dominican Republic and the Meadowlands in New Jersey. The group has shared the stage with artists such as 50 cent, Leann Rhymes, Celia Cruz, Marc Anthony, ...
