  • Amerigo Gazaway

    amerigo gazaway

    Amerigo Gazaway is a talented producer/DJ known for blending multiple genres into one enjoyable arrangement. I came across his recent single “Inner City Travelin’ Man” on twitter and was intrigued by the remix. I’m not usually a fan of attempted classic remakes, but this one adapted Marvin Gaye’s sound and vibe really nicely without diluting or over-modernizing it while seamlessly fusing Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) lyrics and vocals. I also checked out his previous work and came across an album featuring Fela Kuti and De La Soul and a really cool and funky DJ set he did for SXSW in 2013. He definitely has a good ear for sound and good taste in music. Enjoy!

  • Lindsey Stirling

    Lindsey Stirling is an American violinist, dancer, and composer. She performs choreographed violin routines and fuses classic violin with pop, hip-hop, and electronic dance music. She is also involved in a lot of community engagement projects and is currently on tour. I love the innovation and creativity she puts into her work. Enjoy!

  • Elle Eyre

    Ella Eyre

    Ella Eyre is a British singer and songwriter and rising star for 2014. Her debut album is due in the summer of 2014. I like the simple-pop, smooth-R&B, and slight-reggae blending in her debut single “Deeper.” Enjoy.

  • John Newman

    John Newman is an English singer and songwriter. He was ranked one of the most successful and praised British singers in 2013. His debut album “Tribute,” tells a story about his personal experiences with relationships. It has a retro style and unique voice with influences from rock-n-roll to classic soul. Enjoy.

  • Sharaya J

    Sharaya J

    Sharaya J is a Hawaiian-born and New Jersey-raised rapper and choreographer recently signed to Missy Elliot’s label “The Goldmind Inc.” Her recent single’s “BANJI” and “Smash Up The Place” are pumping with rhythm and humor. Her style, energy, and dance skills are a real refresher in the rap scene. The term “BANJI” is an acronym “Be Authentic Never Jeopardize Individuality.” It describes the movement she wants her music and message to represent. The other ladies in the video are called the “BANJI ladies.” I’m looking forward to a lot of cool, BANJI Certified stuff coming from this artist. Enjoy!

  • Stromae

    Stromae

    Stromae is a Belgian singer-songwriter fusing hip hop and electronic music while taking the European music scene by storm. Accompanied by up-beat gender-bending music, Stromae’s lyrics tackle and showcase the issues and controversies everyone experience, from unemployment to politics to stereotypes.  His second album continues this theme, with its single “Tous Les Memes” questioning the double standards of gender roles. The video for this song is a work of art on it’s own. I love the theatrical vibe and quirky choreography. I also included the video for his debut hit “Alors On Danse” because I still love that song.  Enjoy.
