Discovered by Viastar Records' Director of A&R, Shiva Baum, Jaryd was a
finalist at the popular breeding ground for undiscovered talent, the Acoustic
Live.net contest which was sponsored by L.A. tastemaker website The L.A Music
Scene.Com (http://www.thelamusicscene.com). Burton has created a significant
`buzz' in the community by playing to standing room only audiences at popular
venues throughout California.

Armed with a large, powerful and distinctive voice, Jaryd's music is heavily
reminiscent of such rock icons as Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain. Jaryd has the
unique talent of creating music that connects with today's youth and includes
material that is politically relevant, carrying a strong message of personal
freedom and the importance of having the courage to believe in oneself.

As reported in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine, there is a growing
format at radio called "Classic Alternative" which focuses on the
current audience demand to hear popular 90s Alternative Rock and new music which
carries on that tradition. Viastar intends to capitalize on this trend with the
release of Jaryd Burton's debut CD.

The focus of the Agreement with Viastar is the label's strong commitment to
artist development, a necessary process of developing successful long-term
careers that will stand the test of time. This will include relocating Jaryd to
the Phoenix area to work intensively with Viastar's A&R department and
production staff, putting a strong band together modeled after such classic
multi-platinum alternative rock bands such as "Live",
"Soundgarden" and "Pearl Jam".

"Jaryd's music and social conscience creates additional opportunities for
Viastar to extend its merchandising arm into fashionable clothing and apparel
outlets such as `Hot Topic,' allowing the Company the opportunity to reach
deeper into the lucrative MTV Generation revenue base," stated Viastar CEO
John D. Aquilino.

Shiva Baum, Viastar's Director of A&R stated, "Jaryd Burton has the
opportunity to be a major voice of his generation and we believe that a
commitment to serious artist development is an integral ingredient to lasting
long-term success in the music business. This process, which has largely been
ignored by the major labels in recent years, is Viastar's continued commitment
to growing its roster and building its revenue streams. The company believes its
shareholders will reap the benefits of this strategy from for years to
come."
