LOS ANGELES, 2003 - Joining the ranks of popular down-under pop stars like Crowded House, Savage Garden, The Bee Gees, Air Supply, INXS, Men at Work and Olivia Newton John, musical sensation Mykeljon today debuted "Sacrifice," his second album ready to be released in the United States.

According to World-renown pianist and record producer for Los Angeles- based Embassy Entertainment, Rickey Grundie, "The genius of Mykeljon and his music is that it crosses over several genres from rhythm & blues to smooth jazz to rock to world beat. With Mykeljon there isn't that intimidation factor of trying to be or sound like someone else. He brings a true freshness and uniqueness to the industry, something that very few artists are able to successfully deliver."

Mykeljon arrived as an unknown with an "indie" deal for his debut U.S. release, "It all Takes Time." Within eight weeks of its release more than 120 stations play-listed Mykeljon onto light rotation (Feb. 2000). With a new team, Mykeljon's new album is primed to reach new heights.

Multi-award-winning artist Mykeljon's new album, "Sacrifice," was recorded in Los Angeles at David Benoit's 29th St studios. The line up of musicians that are featured on this project is nothing short of an "all-star cast,", with featured musicians including:

John Ferraro - This leading drummer has played with world-known artists like Barry Manilow, Linda Ronstadt, Aaron Nevile and Larry Carlton.
Pat Kelley - As lead guitarist, Kelley has worked with several high-talented artists including George Benson, Jose Feliciano, B.B. King, and Al Jarreau.
Ernest Tibbs - Bassist, Tibbs has played with Latin artist Mijares and Natalie Cole.
Andy Suzuki - A talented saxophonist and flutist, Suzuki has performed and recorded with Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, David Benoit and Kilauea.
Michito Sanchez - This percussionist has played with the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Elvis Costello, Toni Braxton, and Tito Puente.
Rob Whitlock - Playing the Hammond B3 organ, Whitlock has played with Calvin Baugh, Lynn Davis, Max Bennet, Ed Graves and Walela.

All musicians on the album agree that Mykeljon's talents are world class. "When it comes to substance Mykeljon excels," comments Grundie, "He is a natural when it comes to his craft as a songwriter, lyricist and performer." In 1999, Mykeljon's track "Rock to be Free" was chosen as the theme song for the global concert peace event "Rockin' for Freedom," which was designed to promote non-violent resolution of conflicts and raise funds to benefit children, refugee relief and humanitarian aid worldwide.

Mykeljon's new Album "Sacrifice" takes the listener on a passionate journey from love to social comment to feel- good topics, all set to a variety of grooves and moods. Grundie sums it all up "No matter how radio tries to categorize him, Mykeljon is heart felt soul".
