The Who: Judith Hill (Los Angeles, CA) The What: Judith Hill is something else, something special. You know that Academy and Grammy Award winning documentary called 20 Feet From Stardom?

The Who: Andy Clockwise (Los Angeles, CA) The What: Andy Clockwise is a man of creativity, craft and charisma with a dose of cooler than you.
