Crimea will unite creative people from different corners of the Earth to this region - a symbolic 7th continent, where creativity and inspiration reign.

Crimea Music Fest is held with the support of the Supreme Council and the Cabinet of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. "Krymfest" Ltd. is the organizer.
Dylan Lloyd is the only American to have been personally selected by Alla Pugacheva, art director of Crimea Music Fest and the inspirer of the International Songwriting Contest. Dylan was personally invited to the festival due to his recent June 2011 single release of " We Are The Same," (available on iTunes). The Prima Donna; who discovered and supported many talented artists, carefully examined musical materials received from all over the world. Summarizing the results of the selection, Alla Pugacheva noted: "I think that it's for the first time our listeners and spectators will see such a variety of styles and genres in the framework of one festival. Every participant represents a unique, inimitable history of his or her country and culture... I hope that familiarity with these many voices will give a real joy to each co'participant of the Crimea Music Fest."

If the only thing that I can do in this world is take one person out of a daily cycle of misery, heartache, anxiety, frustration, and any other drama that goes along with our life...for just a few minutes...then I truly will feel like I am doing the best that I possibly can to help bring joy to people's lives." - Dylan Lloyd
