Evaride and MJ Ultra Join the Harman Professional Solutions Ambassadors Program

Harman Professional Solutions announces that two of the industry's most exciting new artists -- Evaride and MJ Ultra -- have joined the Harman Professional Solutions ambassadors program.

Within 24 hours of announcing their formation earlier this year, pop rock trio Evaride garnered more than 20,000 social media followers before they even released a song. Part of that excitement stems from the band's lineup of seasoned musicians, including drummer Josh Devine (One Direction), guitarist Hayden Maringer (J.Lo, Demi Lovato, Daya), and vocalist Sean Michael Murray (Green Day's American Idiot and RENT on Broadway).

The soaring debut single "Heartless" catapulted the band onto a national level, with Evaride recently being named iHeartRadio's "Emerging Artist." "Heartless" was also featured on iTunes' "Hot Tracks" and "Top New Alternative Tracks" pages, as well as Shazam's "Best New Music" playlist. Based in New York and Los Angeles, the band is planning to release a full album in 2018, and is working on a music video by acclaimed director Dale "Rage" Resteghini (Fall Out Boy, Pitbull, Lil Wayne) in association with Harman Professional Solutions' JBL Professional and AKG brands.

"We're extremely excited to partner with Harman Professional Solutions and represent legendary audio brands like AKG, JBL, and Crown," said Sean Michael Murray. "The support we've received from Harman has been incredible, especially as we head into the studio to record our album with the backing of these great brands."

Los Angeles-based artist MJ Ultra has quickly established himself as one of R&B's most exciting new voices. MJ Ultra is currently promoting his debut independent album, Ocean Drive, and recently completed an extensive European summer tour.

MJ Ultra has also scored original songs and music videos for several films, including Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack, Justin Timberlake's Friends with Benefits, Kevin James' Here Comes the Boom, and the Netflix original #RealityHigh. His music has also been featured on Dancing with the Stars and America's Got Talent. MJ Ultra's latest feature collaboration with Barcelona-based DJ duo Boxinlion, "Black & White", has amassed more than 12 million YouTube views and 4 million Spotify plays.

"The Harman brands have been the backbone of some of the most iconic music recordings and performances in history and I'm honored to be part of that rich tradition," said MJ Ultra. "This partnership will enable me to further my artistic vision, and open new opportunities to connect with fans across the world."

The Harman Professional Solutions Ambassadors program gives the world's leading artists a powerful platform to share their passion for music and audio technology. More artist and audio professional partnerships will be unveiled in the coming months -- from composers and engineers to breakout stars and veteran musicians.
