Baby Girl Oksana
Oksana was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States when she was 3 years old. Her family settled down in Kent, Washington where Oksana began to get her musical aspirations. Even as a little girl Oksana always knew that singing was her dream. She realized her passion for music when she wrote a song and sang it to her cousin Natasha and sister Irina when her cousin's puppies died. From that day on Oksana has persued her writing and music, and has even won several awards for her poetry. Her dreams became reality when Oksana met music producer, Lonnie MAV Perrin in 2006 Producer of Baby C, Sublymm, Satin Monstah Summer Jam 2000, 2-0-Sickness Albulation, Jenny Jones Show,Billboard Talent Net. While visiting Lonnie's studio a conversation came up about music and dreams. Oksana presented Lonnie with samples of her poems and writings, and from that day on the two began developing the artist Baby Girl Oksana. They soon found out that the journey would not be as easy as they had dreamed. In 2007, the two were faced with hardships that would put the dream in serious jeopardy. While already dealing with the struggles of growing up in an intense religious environment, on May 1, 2007 the two found themselves in a battle against the forces of evil. This battle would last over a year and test the boundaries and strength of not only their relationship but their faith, hopes, and dreams. In the end, the two found themselves victorious and even stronger than before. Having a year's worth of pain and emotion as their inspiration the two put the dream back into full effect and Oksana's first single "Techsana" was born.

Lonnie MAV Perrin Was born on the Eastcoast in Philly and Westcoast raised in Southern Cali, Lonnie MAV Perrin developed his passion for music of all forms early on in his life. Getting in trouble for scratchin up his dads oldies records and messin with the tape player sprouted his love for a developing art form and culture. During the summers in Philly he was mesmerized by the sights of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Princes Block Parties, amazed at how the people gathered around in awe. His growing love for music led him to playing the sax in junior high, while still honing his growing skills and dreams at home in his spare time. At age 19, while walking down the street one day, he found a manila envelope that looked very important although it was not addressed to him temptation and curiosity compelled him to open it. What he found was an investment contract, pages upon pages, for a new record label. He read it thoroughly from front to back and decided then, at 19 years old, that owning a record label and making music was his calling. After getting out of high school, the death of a close friend prompted Lonnie to get away from the madness. He joined the US Navy on the buddy system and ventured to see what life would bring. While stationed at Whidbey Island, Wa. he started really pursing perfection in his production. M.A.V. and his friends would make tapes and beats by pause mixin and scratchin over it, basically just using anything available to make something that sounded cool. But military life wasnt for him and an administrative discharge freed Lonnie to follow his dreams.
After two years of living back down in Cali and drinkin too much King Cobra, he returned to the Northwest to enroll at the Art Institute of Seattle for a Music Business Degree. The education was cool (top of class in audio) but the contacts and friends he developed helped the most. Aside from school, he sang lead in the bands Canabyss and Cornbread. Lonnie and Canabyss enjoyed measurable success, including playing at the first and second Hempfest's among many other venues. In 1994 he collected all his resources and really began to get serious about producing and running his own label. He bought all the equipment he needed and could get his hands on, including the MPC3000. While nailin down the production end of things, the search began for talented artists for a future label. Already on his way to greatness, Lonnie MAV Perrin started Paradine Records/Stressed Out Ent in 1999 with big ideas and even bigger dreams. Since its inception, Stressed Out has created considerable waves in the industry, spreading its message all the way to Asia and South Africa, as well as solidifying its reputation in the Northwest. Lonnie's real asset is his ability to play both roles of businessman and producer. He's got the uncanny ability to make everyone around him better and to elevate them to a higher level. He's also got his own sound. Stressed Out and MAV have created its own niche with a very distinctive, melodic Northwest style with a blend of east and west coast type of sauce on it. This coupled with MAV's unrelenting determination, promises to make Stressed Out a major force to be reckoned with in the new millennium. DA
