Artists

Nathan Pacheco is an opera singer of Brazilian descent whose soulful vocals possess a highly accessible quality that imbues his voice with crossover pop potential.  The first artist signed by Yanni-Wake Entertainment has put lyrics to some of Yanni's most famous instrumental pieces, including "Adagio," "Tribute," and "Almost a Whisper." 

Chloe, a Florida native, has known Ric Wake for years.  She had worked in the studio with him and his songwriting team of Mark Russell and Dave Scheuer (Jessica Simpson, Marc Anthony, Anastacia) before meeting Yanni, who, after hearing her sing, invited the 20-year-old to join them at their South Florida headquarters. 

Venezuelan-born Ender Thomas turned down a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston to tour with the legendary salsa band La Dimension Latina. He had also performed on albums by Latin stars Alejandro Sanz and Ricardo Arjona before Brazilian producer Cesar Lemos introduced him to Yanni and Ric Wake. 

Originally from Northern Kentucky and now based in Nashville, singer/songwriter Leslie Mills, was the first artist signed to Paul McCartney’s MPL publishing company.  She received an Emmy nomination in 2002 for her original song, “On My Own” while she was signed to Atlantic Records.
