RIKKE NORMANN DIGS DEEPER
Musically, she is inspired by legends like Marvin Gaye, Cindy Lauper,
Erykah Badu, Bruce Springsteen, and probably her father's humongous LP collection, and you can also hear the
influences of more current artists like Sy Smith, J*Davey, Tingsek and
Robyn in her music, but Rikke's sound is in reality, in a category of its own.
She
has worked with and toured with some of the most popular musicians and
artists in Norway, and in the UK where she was partly raised including
Berhoft, Sivert Høyem, Madcon, Noora Noor &
Paperboys, Omar (UK), Nate James (UK) and Alexandra
Burke (UK), and she is known to leave a mark at every venue she performs,
stealing the hearts of unsuspecting pop fans who are lucky enough to
experience the essence and depth of her passion for the arts.
Rikke Normann is an indie pop singer from Oslo, Norway. She describes her sound as
"futuristic electro-acoustic neon-pop".
Driven by big
synthesizers and heavy bass lines, it's a sound that could be as warm as
vintage soul classics, or sweet as pink candy.
Her
first solo album "Rikki's Guns" was released
in september, 2011 around the time she made her official debut. Her second and
most recent, "Dig Deep" was released in January, 2015. It received and
continues to receive amazing reviews and she's said to be recording
her third solo album, due to be released in 2017.
Dig
Deep contains 11 of her best works including some of her personal
favorites, Stick Around, one of the first singles off the album, and
Trophy Boy which just had its video released. It is available to
download on iTunes and other digital music retailers worldwide.

SAME THING DIFFERENT DAY
Honorebel's new video tells it like it is.
Honorebel's new video tells it like it is.
He's
one of the most prolific dancehall artists, and rightfully one of the
hottest in Miami, USA right now. His music catalog extends across all
genres to include artists like Snoop Dogg, Akon, Afrojak, Shaggy, Sean
Kingston, Trina, Pitbull, Flo Rida and countless other mainstream,
upcoming and independent acts around the world. Calvin Harris' remix,
What You Came For which features the Florida dancehall phenomenon and
Rihanna is still enjoying a lot of buzz.
Honorebel's
latest single, Same Thing Everyday came out last month and the after
weeks of anticipation fans will be happy to hear that he has announced
the completion of the video which is due to be officially released
shortly. A preview is currently available on instagram.
Born
in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, Honorebel was the youngest of
six children who were raised by a single mother. His
childhood was a rough uphill struggle riddled with street
violence and poverty. He even lost his eldest brother to gang violence.
It was only by fate that Honorebel was able to find music.
Growing
up in the heart of reggae culture in his hometown, Kingston, he was
exposed to the thundering bass lines of local
sound systems on a daily basis. Instead of focusing on crime, he turned
his focus to the
music that was all around him; instead of picking up a gun, he turned to
musical instruments and quickly developed a passion for playing music
and writing songs.
He learned how to play the trumpet and
soon found himself playing in various bands in and out of school. In
Honorebel’s own words,
“I didn’t find music, music found me.”
Same
Thing Everyday is available to download on iTunes and other major music
retailers. The music video will be officially released soon on
Honorebel's website.

THE RETURN OF GIFTGABLE, PT.2
A 2 minute profile of Brooklyn's fiercest.
A 2 minute profile of Brooklyn's fiercest.
In 2011, Giftgable released his debut single, Plankin which instantly became a big hit in New York and then later, the US as a whole. It was also recognized and celebrated by American Idol and was aired in Season 11, Episode 2 of the program.
He went on to set up an independent record label, Money Matters Entertainment with his brother Kre Labbel. Together, the two Brooklyn enterpreneurs launched a series of successful hip hop projects including music and video releases, a reality show on YouTube and a clothing line.
Giftgable is also a dedicated philanthropist and has managed to make a difference in the lives of so many less fortunate. He paired up with the Luis Danvers Leukemia Fund (LDLF), a 501c-3 nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing about awareness to the plight of children suffering from blood cancer.
After
suddenly dropping off the map for over a year or two, Gift returned
with an even fiercer, more determined, more rigorous sound and overall
demeanor with fire in his eyes and more fury on the mic than a raging
pitbull. If there's anything anyone that has had the privilege of
knowing anything about Gift knows, it's that when he goes in, he goes in
super-hard. The release of Rich Porter Pt. 2 was just the beginning and
it's already making a lot of noise in the underground and forcefully
edging its way up into New York's mainstream.

THE RETURN OF GIFTGABLE
In
2012, Giftgable took New York by surprise with the release of his debut
single, Plankin around about the same time the internet was going crazy
about the meme, also called Lying Down Game at the time. People where
finding creative, unimaginable, unsual and ridiculous ways and places to
pose as planks, face down with hands by their sides and Gift had the
perfect soundtrack to fuel the craze.
Not
only was Gift's timing right, the Brooklyn artist's talent, passion,
upscale swagger, super cool demeanor, unmatched work ethic and business
acuity made the song spread through New York, and then the US as a whole
at an alarming rate, securing a place for him on Brooklyn's underground
hip hop scene almost instantaneously.
Following
the success of Plankin, the fast rising underground hip hop star went
on to set up an independent record label, Money Matters Entertainment
and released a string of even more successful hip hop projects.
After
suddenly dropping off the radar for what can only be described as too
long, for reasons unspecified, Gift has resurfaced with another hit
single that is expected to be even more successful than any of his
previous works. Critics are saying this may be the one that will see
Gift rise to hip hop superstardom.
Rich
Porter Part 2, was released on the 9th of December on Soundcloud and Youtube but should become more widely available to stream and download
shortly.
