The music of the Pacific takes over in June as Renee Hibbert from Sydney Australia claims the Female Solo Artist title along with Hawaii's Lionel Deguzman in the Male Solo Artist contest.
Renee and Lionel are two young, creative and talented artists who write their own songs and are accomplished guitarists. But while Lionel is a relatively new presence on the scene, Renee Hibbert has been refining her technique for a long time.
A 15 year veteran of the Australian music industry, Renee has earned accolades in several of Australia’s largest songwriting competitions. Not satisfied with simply writing and recording her songs, she has become a producer and programmer, allowing her to claim complete control over every aspect of the creative process. Her winning song ‘Loose Ends’ breathes with an atmosphere of airy calm through the soft strums of acoustic guitar and her confidently warm vocals.

Lionel Deguzman began playing guitar at the age of 12 and has been pursuing a musical path in life ever since. But unlike Renee, his experience in recording songs is still just getting started. Typifying the laid-back personality of the Hawaiian Islands, Lionel says he is “in this for the experience” to see where his music might take him. ‘I Like Your Face’ is his winning song, an acoustic love-themed “song for the ladies” that brings to mind the beach and sunshine vibes of multi-platinum Hawaiian native Jack Johnson.
