Lumin-Essence is a fresh new arrival to the music scene, infusing pop and latin rhythms with a little bit of rock and R&B. It was founded by two long-time friends, Mark Montellese and Debra Sosa in 6/06.
It was clearly two souls vibrating together to the same frequency, right from the start. Their 1st song, "Hang In There Baby" was no sooner posted on Broadjam, when it was picked up by movie producers. It was an instant hit and is now under contract as the theme song for an upcoming major motion picture, to be released in 2012. Hence the song has been temporarily removed from this site.
Mark and Debra after hooking up with bass player Scotty Scott have been on a roll ever since and have 18 songs in their repertoire. Debra sings lead with Mark doing some back-up singing. Both Debbie and Mark write lyrics and play instruments. If you like variety with some serious lyrics, then take a listen.
