The HARMAN Professional Solutions Ambassadors program gives the world's leading artists a powerful new platform to share their passion for music and audio technology.

As the founder of Parliament-Funkadelic, funk music pioneer George Clinton needs no introduction. With a career that spans more than five decades, Clinton revolutionized R&B, funk, and soul music with classic hits like Atomic Dog, Testify, Give Up the Funk, Flashlight and One Nation Under a Groove.

For me? It's all about the music. When I'm on stage I need to connect with the people and they need to connect me. Without the right audio system I cannot make that connection and that's why HARMAN's gear is so important to me, said Clinton. I've been using AKG, Crown and JBL for decades, not only in my recording, but in my performances. I'm always asked, why these brands for all these years?' I didn't know there was anything else. Being an Ambassador is a deeper way for me to be a part of the HARMAN family that I love.

Electrifying singer-songwriter Elle Varner is one of the most exciting and promising voices in American pop, soul and R&B. Since releasing her debut album in 2012, Varner has collaborated with leading artists like J. Cole, Miguel, The Roots, and Chance the Rapper. Her song Refill received a Grammy nomination in 2012 for Best R&B Song, and she won a 2017 Best Rap Album Grammy for her songwriting contributions on Chance the Rapper's album Coloring Book . Elle has worked with HARMAN Professional Solutions in 2017 by starring in the launch video for the EON ONE PRO.

I'm excited and honored to join the HARMAN Professional family, said Varner. World-class HARMAN brands like JBL and AKG help me deliver my best performances, and I'm eager to partner with HARMAN to reach new fans and share the industry's most innovative audio gear with fellow musicians.

Evaride and MJ Ultra Join Two of the industry's most exciting new artists-Evaride and MJ Ultra-have joined the HARMAN Professional Solutions Ambassadors Program.Within 24 hours of announcing their formation earlier this year, pop rock trio Evaride garnered more than 20,000 social media followers before they even released a song. Part of that excitement stems from the band's lineup of seasoned musicians, including drummer Josh Devine (One Direction), guitarist Hayden Maringer (J.Lo, Demi Lovato, Daya), and vocalist Sean Michael Murray (Green Days American Idiot and RENT on Broadway).

The soaring debut single Heartless catapulted the band onto a national level, with Evaride recently being named iHeartRadio's Emerging Artist. Heartless was also featured on iTunes' Hot Tracks and Top New Alternative Tracks pages, as well as Shazams Best New Music playlist. Based in New York and Los Angeles, the band is planning to release a full album in 2018, and is working on a music video by acclaimed director Dale Rage' Resteghini (Fall Out Boy, Pitbull, Lil Wayne) in association with HARMAN Professional Solutions' JBL Professional and AKG brands.

We're extremely excited to partner with HARMAN Professional Solutions and represent legendary audio brands like AKG, JBL and Crown, said Sean Michael Murray. The support we've received from HARMAN has been incredible, especially as we head into the studio to record our album with the backing of these great brands.

LA-based artist MJ Ultra has quickly established himself as one of R&B's most exciting new voices. MJ Ultra is currently promoting his debut independent album, Ocean Drive, and recently completed an extensive European summer tour.

MJ has also scored original songs and music videos for several films, including Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack , Justin Timberlakes Friends with Benefits, Kevin James Here Comes the Boom, and the Netflix original #RealityHigh . His music has also been featured on Dancing with the Stars and Americas Got Talent . MJ's latest feature collaboration with Barcelona-based DJ duo Boxinlion, Black & White, has amassed more than 12 million YouTube views and 4 million Spotify plays.

The HARMAN brands have been the backbone of some of the most iconic music recordings and performances in history and I'm honored to be part of that rich tradition, said MJ Ultra. This partnership will enable me to further my artistic vision, and open new opportunities to connect with fans across the world.
