Hi Ellen, My name is Manny, I am a 60 year old educator and entertainer. My music, although it is all interpretations from other artists has take me to higher levels of energy.It is a type of therapy that I can't describe. As I have watched Idol since its inception, I always wondered if there would ever be a showcase for the talents of an older generation. I am sending you two Youtube videos, (not the best quality) for your viewing.http://youtu.be/sWxRgDbo6xo and
http://youtu.be/PqzRxsuirck. I was born in Cuba and came to the states at the age of 13. I have been a school principal for 22 years and now I work with at risk students in a migrant agricultural community near my home in Florida.

Ellen i have been trying to send a written there is a sad story to go with it but a good song written and my brother sung it at my youngest out of 5 sister in laws. Or go on utube under Gianna DeLuca and Vince Deluca its called Wheres that little girl of mine
Hey Ellen my name is Rio Aguilar. Im from Kenai,Alaska. I just recently found out from my grandma in Oklahoma that you have a record label. In the last year I have written a couple songs with myself and a couple friends. Im 19 years old and music is a big thing for me. Somethin that can pick me up when Im down, or make me even happier if Im already feelin great. I dont know what your lookin for in an artist. I write hip hop songs. Ha I dont cuss much but I can take them out. I feel like I could bring somehtin different to your label. And bring in a different audience. So if you could get back to me Id really appreciate it. Thank you! Much appreciated.
Hello Ellen,
I have tried multiple times to submit to Eleven Eleven but my computer just won't let me. I am 19 years old out of Goochland, Va and sing and play guitar in a band that consists of my Dad, Brother, and I. We gig about four times a week, but I just want to take my own music to the next level. I write my own orignal music that I play all the instruments for that I record myself, so when I heard about Eleven Elven I thought it was a dream come true if I was able to submit. Anyway thank you for reading and you can email me at atrongo@yahoo.com.
Sincerely, Andrew
Hi ellen,
I forgot to mention that I own a charity called skydogs and cats and all my money goes to help animals living in shelters with less the 24 hours to live to get a second chance. I play 1 day a week in front of Madison Square Garden, NYC to raise money for these poor animals. I have over 100 songs that I wrote and I can email you mp3's of these songs. I am at exoticguitar@msn.com.
take care,
Charity Dodd

Hi Ellen, I ama professional guitarist with over 100 originals including a Billboard award for one of my originals (honorary mention)I have studied with Terrance Blanchard, Kenny Baron, Larry Ridly, and I was wondering if you are looking for songwriters? My guitar styles include a hendrix, duane allman slide style and I also have been seeing 11:11 for about the past 11 years, every time I look and the time and thougt that maybe it was fate that you should hear some of my songs for your artists.

Hi, Ellen! My name is Caitlin Sipe, I'm 14, & I live in Oklahoma. Being a singer/actress has always been my dream. I've had a rough past, & I think doing this would finally give me satisfaction in my life. If you would please contact me by e-mail if you would like: caaitlinsmusic@gmail.com or you could check out my YouTube videos (which are old and not that good) at www.youtube.com/themegancaitlin I play a little bit of piano, and guitar. I would love to take any advice you may have for me, or actually talk to you and possibly meet you! I love your show! Please get a hold of me if you have the time, and chance.
Love Always,

I would love to get some feed back on this original track and concept shot in my hometown with no overhead... Imagine what i could do with a band and money I could be seen more.... But seriously thank you for checking it out...
Congrats on the record label endeavor! I'm a singer and multi-instrumentalist from New York City, and have performed at venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The United Nations, and The Bitter End.
It would be an honor to be considered! Please check out the YouTube link of one of my original songs, "I'll Be Here":

Hi Ellen,
Congratulations on starting your own record label! We are "Julius" a teen pop band from New Jersey. We write our own original music and we have only been together since last summer. Our biggest gig ever is this week. Live Nation hired us to warm up the crowd for the Jonas Brothers at Jones Beach Nikon Theatre on August 21, 2010. We would love to send you our demo, or you can check us out at www.myspace.com/juliusnj.

Ellen, I know you seek out talent on Youtube. My nephew Randy Ponzio lives in Vancouver, Canada. He is very talented and just needs a break. He is the next Michael Buble. He also has a new record out called Phantom Smiles and was in the summer Shore 104.com contest and placed in the finals but didn't win. He is all over Youtube and is trying the grass roots approach. He does reggae, jazz and a lot of U2. Please check him out. He has three kids and needs all the help he get. He is truly awesome and gifted.
His aunt,
Laura Ponzio
