I'm a fan of new artists succeeding. Look at super young Mackenzie Sol for instance. The 16-year-old UK-born, LA-based boy became a sensation on social media a couple of years ago and that led to a career in music. And after releasing only two singles completely independently and self-paid, a…

A new talented producer is in town and you better watch out for him because I predict he’ll become the next big thing. You have been warned! Young producer, and hottie (hello photo above!), Justin Caruso proved he had that Midas touch when his debut single “Talk About Me”, released earlier in…

I’ve been in a ballads “mood” lately. So when I discovered this song browsing YouTube recently, I knew I had to set up an interview with the artist to find out more about her. “Home” (released in January this year) is the latest single of up-and-coming Canadian singer Tara Macri. This is too the…

This woman needs no introduction. You already know her. Emily Warren has written songs for the likes of The Chainsmokers, Frenship, Sean Paul, Melanie Martinez, or Shawn Mendes. But it was Emily’s work with The Chainsmokers in particular which really launched her name out to the world. She wrote…

We’re so happy to talk to you about Avante Black, and up-and-coming London-based indie-pop band. They already made a huge buzz last year with their single “Imaginary Love”, and this year it all points out that “Make A Mess” will be the Avante Black song with the biggest buzz (could be another they…

Get into Youngr! He is a rising star in the UK music scene, signed to Island Records and Universal, who in the past 365 days has released a handful of pretty amazing and successful (“Out of My System” has over 22 million streams on Spotify!) one-off singles. Youngr’s vibe is often a combination of…

With her first major label studio album she obtained a gold certification, with the second one she repeated the gold feat, and with the most recent one, her third major label album, that she released in 2012, she scored a platinum certification, so I think it’s pretty safe to say that Toronto-born…

Chances are you have heard Ledinsky’s controversial new single “DonaldTrumpMakesMeWannaSmokeCrack” - because with a title like that, who wouldn’t give it a listen on YouTube or Spotify, right? This Swedish singer-songwriter is one of the latest signees of Atlantic Records and he dropped last month…

If you didn’t know, country music is also big in Ireland (yep, country is not a USA-exclusive thing), and that’s partially because of Mr. Nathan Carter, a country singer who has helped revive this music genre in Ireland and now in the UK ever since he commenced his career back in 2007. With his…

All hail VASSY. There’s not really much need to do a long introduction here, as I’m convinced everybody out there knows who she is; the best friend of every top DJ these days, and the singer of two of your favorite party tunes that most likely get played every night at all clubs around the world.…

The time has come to meet a new artist that’s recently impacted in the music world. Named Adam Friedman, this talented man hailing from Scottsdale, Arizona released his debut single, a sweet piano ballad, “Pretty Things” a few months and with it he experienced very early in his career what success…

After Romeo have come a long way since we interviewed them late last year - at the time they were promoting their single “Where The People Go”. Right now the four-piece boyband is gearing up to release their new EP “Good Things” for their fans, they have been recently called “The Next One…

Brett Eldredge doesn't really need much introduction. With four country radio #1 hits already in his short career, this Illinois native is rapidly proving to be "one to watch" in the country music scene. Brett, who opened for several dates on Taylor Swift's 2013 "Red Tour", released in that year…

Introducing Natalie Stovall and The Drive, an up-and-coming country music group that needs to get on your radar ASAP. Led by Tennessee-born Natalie Stovall, she knew music was her passion from very little. Learning how to play the fiddle, this and many other talents got her to do gigs at The Oprah…

Only a couple of weeks ago we were giving YOU, fans of Alyson Stoner, a nice little gift, and today our obsession for her still continues! A few days ago we had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with Ms. Triple-Threat, singer/dancer/actress Alyson Stoner, to talk about her new single…

One of the best gifts to give yourself or a friend this holiday season? Possibly a ticket for the upcoming joint tour Vinyl Theatre and Finish Ticket are going to do next year. Both alt-rock bands will be co-headlining Live Nation’s “Ones To Watch” tour in 2016! Getting picked by Live Nation to do…

One of the biggest pop revelations of 2015 has undoubdtely been Who Is Fancy. A ‘revelation’ indeed for when he started his music career in the spotlight early this year (with the song “Goodbye”) we didn’t know his real identity. Now we know he is Jake Hagood, from Bentonville, Arkansas, but he is…

A few days ago I wrote about a new artist that is progressively carving a name in the music world and that’s Ariana Di Lorenzo with her band Ariana & The Rose. Back then, I made a blog about their new single “Give Up The Ghost” (available for download for free here), and well, if you liked the…

She’s a worldwide household name thanks to her role as Bonnie Bennett in the TV series “The Vampire Diaries”, but now Kat Graham has decided that the time has come to expand her dominions. The 26-year-old singer, born in Geneva, Switzerland - but raised in L.A - has modeled, acted, danced and now…

What can I say about Brian McKnight? The man is a legend. 16 times nominated at the Grammy Awards, he’s discovered the entire world thanks to tours that have sold-out every single time, he’s recorded duets with most of the top names of the music industry, and he’s released 12 studio albums in…
