  • Evermore | Crossover Records

    Learn more about our full album release - Evermore - Joanna Mongiardo. My New York debut recital was truly a labor of love. The overriding theme was that of love, loss and a commitment to everlasting hope- thus the title, Evermore . The recital itself was a partnership with good friends at every turn. Rachelle Jonck, my longtime coach and trusted collaborator, helped with musical preparation and accompanied masterfully in recital. The program included the New York premiere of Three Night Songs by my friend, American composer, Scott Wheeler. I was privileged to have the opportunity to rehearse and perform these with Scott on piano. The Athena Music Foundation, founded by colleagues Michael Fennelly and Megan Weston, sponsored the event as their first ever Recital Series Concert. Even the album release grew from the seeds of friendship. Gillian Riesen, who had beautifully updated my website during the pandemic, started Emitha, an artist driven production company in partnership with Crossover Records. The team at Emitha was extraordinary in every aspect of Evermore ’s release. I was extremely fortunate to have the support of people I know and trust to turn my dream of an album into reality. I am truly grateful for this musical and personal collaboration that meant so much to me every step of the way. I hope you enjoy the album as much as we enjoyed creating it together.

  • ABOUT US | Crossover Records

    Learn about Crossover Records, what makes us unique and how you can collaborate. ABOUT US CROSSOVER RECORDS is a new independent music label that was built by artists, for artists. We embrace recordings that are unique, musicians that have something to say and projects that are truly collaborative. We believe that creating an album should be an exciting and invigorating part of an artists' career. At Crossover Records, we can facilitate every aspect of album creation including recording, artwork, distribution, digital promotion and more so that the artist can spend their valuable time on what matters most - the music. WHAT WE DO Planning, recording, and releasing an album can be a daunting task. Beyond the artistic skills that form the foundation of any musical venture, an album requires months of extra-musical work leading up to its release. Crossover Records endeavors to make this process not only enjoyable, but actually inspiring for our artists. We are uniquely situated to help our artists in this way, because, beyond specializing in the usual roles of a record label (release, distribution, placement, etc.), we offer unparalleled services at every other step of the album production process. Through our relationship with our parent company, Emitha LLC, we can assist our artists with album concept, recording, mixing, mastering, producing, artwork, printing, pressing, and more. By creating all of the album’s components in-house, not only do we save valuable time and money, but we are also able to guarantee our artists the greatest degree of artistic control over their own projects, assisted by our expert guidance. This process guarantees results of the highest quality: albums that are meaningful reflections of our talented artists and the incredible work that they do. MODERN DISTRIBUTION A modern company needs a modern vision. This begins with learning from the past, embracing the present, and imagining what the future could hold. At Crossover Records, we know that musical audiences are growing, and they’re growing where most music lives: online, in the digital sphere. With our immensely popular playlists and effective marketing and promotion strategies, our artists benefit from our cultivated audience of over 100,000 active listeners. Our artists had over 4 millions streams in 2020 alone. Though we love and passionately produce physical albums with beautiful artwork, liner notes, and packaging, we believe our job is to continue to welcome the advances in technology and distribution the modern world brings. We know that there is so much new music (and music yet to be made!) that needs a permanent home in the recording canon, and artists with diverse backgrounds and points of view whose voices must be heard and supported to move our field into the future. Crossover Records fervently champions these efforts through the artists and projects with whom we partner. THE ARTIST'S EXPERIENCE Crossover Records sets itself apart by its hands-on approach with its artists. We are a label for artists, by artists. We proudly dispense of all pretenses and power dynamics seen in other labels, and welcome all artists to engage with us with their whole, authentic selves. Collaboration, honesty and enthusiasm are ideals that we hold dear and infuse into every project we take on. We believe in fostering deep relationships with our artists and nurturing a collaborative vision that allows us to capture the essence of an artist every step of the way.

  • Momenti | Crossover Records

    Artist profile - Momenti. MOMENTI Momenti was founded by singers Leah Crocetto and Christian Pursell, and pianist Ronny Michael Greenberg. They first met during the pandemic and knew their chemistry was something special, so they decided to do something about it, and planned a concert. From that magical April evening, Momenti was eventually formed over a bottle of Flowers Chardonnay. All three artists have established solo careers, but discovered something new and special when they performed together. From that first collaboration, there was an inevitability that they were destined to be Momenti. They are virtuosic, multi- faceted, and multi-genre, and have a flair for music that pulls at the heartstrings. When you listen to Momenti, you will hear something you’ve never heard before, of course with a classical sensibility and background, but beyond that you will hear influences from jazz, musical theater, folk, pop, blues, and church music. As three uniquely talented artists, their goal as a group is to create something greater than themselves, that moves people from all walks of life. Through their performances, they want to express that music is a universal language, with the power to connect us all on a spiritual level. LEAH CROCETTO GRAMMY Award-winning artist Leah Crocetto eats, sleeps, and breathes music of all kinds. She isn’t picky, her only stipulation is that it has to come from the soul and make a statement. She is most known for singing opera all over the world, especially starring as Verdi’s greatest heroines in the most prestigious houses, but her real passion is connecting with others while making music in an intimate way. As a co-founding member of the band Momenti, she gets to do just that! Leah was raised on the greatest singers of all time, Pavarotti, Tebaldi, Tony Bennett, Earth, Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Sandi Patty, and many others. This gave her an appreciation for all genres. In addition to being a soloist in the opera world and a founding member of Momenti, she is also a Professor of Voice at the University of Texas at Austin. “HOOK ‘EM HORNS!!!” She believes it is her responsibility to help raise and support the next generation of vocal artists to appreciate musical diversity, with a sound vocal approach through bel canto technique. When she isn’t singing, you can find Leah making something with her hands, whether it’s a drawing, a blanket, a painting, or a delicious meal! She loves a great lipstick, a good shot of tequila, and walking in nature with her pup Ernie the Maltese. RONNY MICHAEL GREENBERG On any given day, you can find pianist and producer Ronny Michael Greenberg improvising at a Jazz Bar, arranging an opera in Bossa Nova style, or plotting out his next musical tasting collaboration with a Michelin Star chef. Equally passionate about musical, visual and culinary arts, he is the Founder and CEO of Taste of Talent, a non-profit that showcases the connective power of Music and Art through multi-sensory experiences and promotes entrepreneurial empowerment of Artists. Ronny has toured internationally performing in the Vienna Konzerthaus, Carnegie Hall, Montreal’s Place des Arts Theater, and across Italy, New Zealand, and Hawai’i. A regular performer at the Black Cat of the University Club in San Francisco, Ronny arranges, composes and lives for musical diversity. Recently he co-produced OperAloha, a program celebrating opera for everyone at the Kahilu Theater in Hawai’i with music in eight languages. He co-produced the Merola Opera Program’s Gala in 2021 and is the curator for “TILT”, an annual concert collaboration between Grace Cathedral and San Francisco Opera. As a founding member of the multi-genre trio, Momenti, he is proud to bring his wildest musical fantasies to life with two of his closest friends Leah Crocetto and Christian Pursell. Ronny’s cat, Atlas, holds up his world. CHRISTIAN PURSELL Christian Pursell lives to perform. As a singer and actor, Christian pursues countless ways to share his creative energy. He recently debuted in a bel canto opera in Philadelphia, and was labeled “gold-toned” by The New Yorker . He takes that comment to heart, as Christian is passionate about the power of the voice and the ability to connect with audiences through singing. Co-founding Momenti with Ronny Michael Greenberg and Leah Crocetto is a true adventure, using collective voices in new, exciting, and unheard of ways, to directly reach the souls of audiences. Christian performs roles in opera houses across the U.S.A., traveling in a ‘62 Airstream, towed by his ‘67 Chevy truck. He loves to repair, construct, and problem solve. When not singing, he produces HiFi videos for clients and his YouTube channel. As a father raising his 5 year old son, he values fostering his inner child, and loves to live life to its fullest!

  • Laura Auer | Crossover Records

    Artist profile - Laura Auer. LAURA AUER At first, her audience knew her as Laura Promiscuo - the charismatic singer songwriter from Philadelphia with a hereditary soprano voice from her Italian grandparents. Although opera seemed to be the obvious career path, a lifelong calling to do something unique and original led her down a wild evolutionary journey. Now with successes in multiple genres, the award winning singer, songwriter, playwright and voice actress is letting her voice pave its own way through the music industry. Although she grew up learning classical music on the viola and played in orchestras and chamber ensembles for over ten years, Laura Auer (OU-ər) did not begin singing until the age of 17. She began taking voice lessons shortly after performing the National Anthem for her field hockey team, and her voice instructor quickly took notice of her raw talent. She began recording Auer on cassette tape for competitions and booking showcase opportunities. Less than six months later Auer was accepted to train at the conservatory level, studying Vocal Performance at Pennsylvania State University under Richard Kennedy, Jennifer Trost, Ted Christopher, Arlene Shrut with The Juilliard School, and PA Lyric Opera Founder, Maestro Antonio Conte Pugliese. Early roles included “Emmie” in Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring, “Adele” in Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, and “Warbler” in the world premiere of Trinkley and Charnesky’s Chicken Little. A few of Auer's winning competition placements included NATS, PA's Young Artists Program, Areté Vocal, and Schmidt. Auer also performed roles in collegiate musical theater productions including "Cosette" in Les Miserables, "Mrs. Irons" in The Alchemist for The New Musicals Festival, "Christine Daae" in The Phantom of the Opera, and "Maureen" in Rent, as well as several cover bands and two of the university’s premiere a cappella groups as a soloist and arranger. The groups performed for NBC’s "The Sing-Off" in New York City and won the Varsity Vocals' International Championship of Collegiate a Cappella, made famous by the "Pitch Perfect" film, with Auer as lead vocalist on Across the Universe's gospel arrangement of "Let It Be." During this time she also picked up small recording gigs as a session singer including a televised ABBA tribute performance and three original off-Broadway soundtracks. To this date, Auer's voice is featured on over 50 commercial records and over 1000 voiceovers. Adjacent to her classical musical studies, Auer regularly taught yoga lessons and lead large group musical meditation sessions called "Kirtan concerts,” with supporting musicians on guitar, harmonium and hand drums. She became a certified yoga instructor before she was old enough to drive a car, and her spiritual philosophical study influenced much of her early musical exploration. Auer credits Sting, Ofra Haza, Krishna Das, and Madonna as influential artists. After parting ways with her first original band Soul Kitchen Collective, Auer went on to establish herself as a powerful songwriter on her first self-released solo album, Chasing Down the Dream in 2014, under her previous name Laura Promiscuo. She opened for Melody Gardot at The World Café Live and became a seasoned performer during her first headlining tour across the United States with a kickoff show at Bethlehem’s Musikfest. She then won The Philadelphia Songwriters Contest in 2016 and was discovered by three-time Grammy winning producer Tim Sonnefeld, who began developing her original songs with heavier orchestral production to support her wide range of vocal melodies in a style he calls “popra.” Auer relocated to Los Angeles where she performed with Sonnefeld at hotspot music venues like Pour Vous, The Viper Room, Hotel Café, and The Peppermint Club. In 2018, Disney took interest in one of Auer's songs for their 2020 Mulan remake, which inspired her to write more music specifically for her soprano voice type in this "Disney-esque" style. Auer sought out a composer for her lyrics and met artist/producer Jaron Samuel. The songwriting duo (now credited as Jaron & Auer) hit it off and wrote several songs a week until they had an entirely new original musical with a full soundtrack and franchise of characters. Auer then wrote the screenplay for animation and also voices the principal character, giving way to the start of an exciting multi-hyphenate career in music and entertainment. Auer's name change came with the meeting of her now husband, Kevin Auer and the pair reside in Los Angeles. She frequents the famous Victor Cafe opera house as a guest performer when visiting her hometown of Philadelphia and currently keeps her voice maintained with Capucine Chiaudani, bel canto instructor with The Mediterranean Opera Studio in Italy. This fall, Auer is set to perform with the renowned Evergreen Symphony Orchestra for their "Disney Fantasy Live" concerts series in Taiwan, while promoting the continual release of her "Seasons" album series. In the future, Auer aspires to perform all over the world, and lend her voice to more musical animation, Broadway and film projects.

In 2019, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that resulted in the removal of a grapefruit-sized mass from my chest. The tremendous stress this put on my body and spirit required me to rebuild my voice over the following two years. Then the 2020 pandemic arrived, complicating my path forward as a singer, and afflicting me with a chronic illness. I spent another 2 years in recovery and have been rebuilding my body and voice for the second time. The road through this transformation has not been pretty, but I have slowly found a depth of strength and willingness to hope that I never knew was possible. I never stopped singing, never stopped moving, and I arrived at a place where I was able to realize my dream of recording a Broadway album. These songs of love, triumph, joy and authentic pain all speak to different aspects of my journey and represent the indomitable will of the human spirit. I have spent long periods wanting to just give up, but I have always had the love and support of the amazing people in my life. Through all of this I am finally able to gaze into a beautiful horizon and peacefully proclaim that I am: STILL STANDING." - Peter Lake
