1) Canadian band:
The original composition of the band was a collection of session musicians brought together by Bruce Allen, manager of Loverboy. Drummer Jim Vallance and Bruce Fairbairn had a jazz rock band named Sunshyne. They incorporated Lindsey Mitchell and Ron Tabak, and switched names to "Under Construction" (also briefly "Stanley Screamer"). Then, when John Hall was brought in as keyboardist, the band's name became Prism. (See their official website at http://www.prism.ca/.)
After signing with GRT Records, they released their debut album with a lineup of Tabak, Mitchell, Lavin, Hall, Ab Bryant and Jim Vallance, who both produced, and played drums under the name of "Rodney Higgs." Vallance did not want to tour though, so left and was replaced by Rocket Norton.
In 1977, they released their self-titled album PRISM, and it had a hit with "Spaceship Superstar". The band subsequently issued See Forever Eyes (1978), after which Bryant left, and Allen Harlow was brought in as a new guitarist.
Armageddon (was released in 1979), featuring some compositional input from the then largely unknown Bryan Adams, and Young and Restless was released in 1980.
After the greatest hits album All the Best From Prism, Prism signed on with Capitol Records and after a few more lineup changes (Mitchell and Harlow went their separate ways, Tabak was fired due to "lifestyle" issues), and vocalist Henry Small was brought in), they released Small Change (1981). The lead single "Don't Let Him Know" became their first top 40 hit in America and the follow-up "Turn on Your Radar" also charted, becoming their fifth and final American hit.
In 1982, the band's touring line up was composed of Small, guitarist Paul Warren, bassist John Trivers, keyboardist Robyn Robbins, and Doug Maddick on drums.
The band broke up in 1982 but Beat Street followed in 1983 featuring Henry Small, Bill Champlin, Richie Zito, Mike Baird (drummer from Journey), and backup vocalists Bobby Kimball (Toto) and Alan Pasqua.
Plans for a Prism reunion with Tabak were cancelled when he died on 25 December 1984, one day after a brain hemorrhage he suffered from a cycling accident.
In 1988 they reformed for another greatest hits album called Over 60 Minutes with...Prism, and five years later another new album, Jericho (1993), with Darcy Deutsch as vocalist, Harlow, Mitchell, Norton, and keyboardist Andy Lorimer. Deutsche. Studio musicians included Bryan Adams, Paul Janz, Mark LaFrance, with Rick Springfield doing some of the songwriting.
The Canadian band has continued to tour, and released the album Big Black Sky in 2008.

In 1976, the group were signed to Polydor Records, performed as an opening act for Eric Clapton, and toured nationwide. Prism have released a total of 28 albums since 1977. The band was signed to Universal Music Group in 2003, which re-released the band’s first four albums, and remained their record publisher.

5) Electronic music producer/DJ:
David Hanson studied under Vance Gordan [Dicenso's Drum Shop/First Class Band] in Boston, MA specializing in Afro Cuban rhythms and the Moeller technique prior to venturing into music production.
Becoming more intrigued by the intricate likeness of all societies, cultures and religions, Prism was created with a deeper purpose, not only to showcase all of these influences but to convey an awareness that all things, no matter how different they may appear in physical form, are all the same.
In 2010 Prism was signed to Lovewave Music and released the single "Future Samba." Prism gained support from DJ/Label Owner DJ Chefal on England's Rinse.fm in 2012 showcasing his unique jazz influenced tunes forthcoming on Chef's own label Sub Freq. Prism continues to bring an unmatched approach to fusing electronic music and jazz without coming off trite or stagnant.
As a DJ Prism fuzes Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Jazz and House seamlessly and has played among many acclaimed dubstep artists such as Silkie, Heny G, Razor Rekta, Joe Nice, Kahn, Cessman, Distal, Moldy, O-Dessa, etc...

Prism Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'll only believe it from you
How could you possibly do this to me
After all the things we've been through
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm getting so dazed and confused
One day you say you don't need me baby
And the next day you tell me you do
Amelia can't feel ya
You're slipping away
Can't go on without you
I'm going insane
The rumor is out I've gone crazy
But I'm tired of hearing those lies
I've been trying for days just to find you baby
Cause there's something I just realised
Amelia can't feel ya
You're slipping away
Can't go on without you
I'm going insane
Amelia can't feel ya
You're slipping away
Can't go on without you
I'm going insane
The lyrics of Prism's song Amelia discuss the emotions of the singer who has heard a rumor that Amelia, someone very close to them, is leaving. However, the singer refuses to believe it unless they hear it from Amelia themselves. The singer is absolutely baffled by the prospect of Amelia leaving them after everything they've been through, leaving them feeling dazed and confused. The song is an exploration of the singer's inner turmoil as they try and keep it together amidst the looming threat of losing Amelia. The constant back and forth - one day Amelia says she doesn't need the singer and the next she tells them she does - is driving the singer insane.
As the song progresses, we see the singer become more and more desperate to find Amelia, even though they are being constantly bombarded with rumors about their own mental state. The lyrics "Amelia can't feel ya, you're slipping away, can't go on without you, I'm going insane" emphasize the singer's desperation to hold onto Amelia and their seeming inability to cope if they were to lose her. The song ends on this haunting note, with the singer coming to terms with just how much Amelia means to them and how lost they would be without her.
