Isaiah Washington and Nasson Chance

Isaiah Washington

Isaiah Washington briefly served with the United States Air Force before attending Howard University. He soon dropped out and joined City Kids Repertory, where he is one of the original members.

Washington made his on-screen debut in the 1991 film The Color Of Love. That same year, he made his television debut, appearing as a guest on an episode of Law & Order. In 1996, he took a recurring role in New York Undercover; he went on to appear in shows such as Ally McBeal and Soul Food.

Washington’s biggest break came in 2005, when he joined the cast of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. His appearance as stoic doctor Solomon Burke earned him two NAACP Image Awards. However, his stay on the show was marked by controversy, when reports of him insulting co-star TR Knight’s sexual orientation – including the use of a homophobic slur – surfaced. The messy fall-out led ABC to terminate their contract with the actor when the series ended its second season.

Save for a recurring role in the NBC series Bionic Woman, and a few other films, Washington largely dropped out of the radar after the controversy. He has since worked with the government of Sierra Leone, who bestowed citizenship to him after discovering that he is genetically related to the country’s Mende and Temne peoples.

Washington is married and has three children.

Nasson Chance

The London, England, native Nasson Chance musical journey began at the age of six when he started playing the piano. A few years later, despite still being relatively young, he became the first black student to attend the Arrigo Pedrollo Conservatory of Music in Vicenza, Italy. While attending the Conservatory he played the piano and the cello.
At the age of 14 he stepped out as a rapper while being managed and produced by DJ Ciso. He left an impressionable mark by delivering well thought and precise vocals with a very distinct energy, which made him stand out as a solo artist and on a number of collaborations with many European and US artist of various genres.
Offers from labels became more and more frequent as the young artist’s lyrical skill set continued to grow. However the death of his manager/producer (DJ Ciso) and his decision to join the United States Marine Corps put his promising musical career on a 6 year hiatus.
Inspired and encouraged by his supporters and a number of industry veterans, Nasson Chance has decided to tell it all in his upcoming pre album release “Taking Chances”, out early 2014.
