HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GETTING IT RIGHT

Uncover the latest stories, music publicity highlights and industry updates in the world of music and entertainment
Akon - far left, with Sham - far right.


You know you're hitting the right notes when you get the thumbs up from Quincy Jones (multi-platinum award-winning record producer). 

Everyone knew he could pull it off, but when Sham was faced with the most difficult task of his career to date - having to open a show for Akon, one of the most renowned R&B musicians of this decade, Sham did more than just pull it off - he put on a spectacular performance that left the crowd super hyped up so much so that when he went backstage to meet with the stars and top acts who performed and were present on the night, he was treated like one the greatest himself.

The Oman born singer songwriter, rapper and music producer catapulted onto the music scene in 2008 at only 18 years old when he released his debut single, Naughty Boy. The single shot straight to number one on Radio One and set the tone for the long and successful career which he envisioned and is now enjoying today. He has now shared stages with and opened for big names like Jay Sean, Ne-Yo, Sean Paul, Will.I.Am and many other popular international acts, as well as had the privilege of recording with a few. One of his most popular songs, Be Free with Fatman Scoop is still number one on many top DJs' playlists.

He is currently one of the most popular independent acts in Oman and is also known to frequent and reside in the UK where he is known to perform every now and again, and has also made a name for himself. After conquering his local markets he has now set his sight on the international music market and he already has all the right pieces in place. 

 He is said to be prepairing for the release of a new album, targetted at the international market.

HOW TO OPEN FOR THE HOTTEST R&B GROUP OF ALL TIME

R&B artist news and events from the world of independent music daily on SRL Music News - Find out what's hot in independent R&B music
Idrise - 2nd from the left, with Boyz II Men.

When Frankfurt based, Independent R&B Singer Songwriter, Idrise first burst onto Germany's music scene in 2012 with his debut single, Falling, no one had any doubts that the talented young man in his early twenties was about to take the world by surprise and deliver some of the hottest R&B music since the '90s. Idrise delivered just that, and even surpassed everyone's expectations. The Frankfurt R&B music scene was rocked by hit after hit of sexy, cool, powerful, meaningful, heart-warming songs centered around love, relationships, friends, girls and everything in-between. His music was and still remains relatable and strong, and would get you dancing in no time. It spread across Frankfurt quickly and it wasn't before long that offers started rolling in left, right and center.

Idrise was quickly noticed by industry experts and received a lot of attention from critics, a lot of press and interviews. His music travelled far and wide, and was embraced by R&B fans in and around his home city, but the icing on the cake was getting a call to open for one of the hottest R&B groups of all time, Boy II Men.

As nerve-racking as it proved to be, the new R&B singer managed to put in all the necessary preparation and hours of endless rehearsals required, and put on an amazing performance that left fans screaming for more, and Boyz II Men impressed.

After the show, an utterly releived Idrise filled with excitement said,

"Tonight was amazing opening for Boyz II Men! It was such a rush to be up there with Cameraman The Rapper and the crowd singing along with me, haha. Then after the show I got to meet them and sing a lil' bit backstage. Such a cool night. Big thanks to Alvin Kress, DJ B-Rome and Streetlife International".

But that wasn't the end, over the next month alone Idrise was also invited to open for Genuwine, Joe, Total and D'Angelo, and the offers have never stopped rolling in since then.

While Idrise has chosen to remain independent, he continues to thrive and rise progressively in the German R&B scene with the help of his strong production team and industry connections made along the way and is now working towards breaking into the international music market.

Idrise's latest single, Do You Mind is out in stores now and available to download on iTunes and all major music retailers worldwide.

WHEN HIP HOP AND EDM BECOME MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS


Discover the best new electronic pop music discovery/download apps and explore news stories from indie pop artists daily on The Indie Music Press Release Board - Sham live in concert

You've heard his songs featuring Lil Jon and Bun B, and you've also heard his music on Girls Gone Wild, "Hottest Girl In America". Now the Million Dollar Voice Daiyon, aka Bodaiga, has teamed up with Grammy nominated platinum producer, DJ Vudu Spellz, who is responsible for Ludacris' and Jamie Foxx's Grammy nominated song "Georgia."

Originally released in February, 2012, Daiyon's single "HANDS UP" climbed to #2 above Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj, Will.I.Am, David Guetta, and Jessie J, on Kiss Fm's stations Top 10 charts - 99.4 & 102.5 (Canaries), Kiss Fm 91.6 (Sweden), and KissFMlive.com. "HANDS UP" was the first single off Daiyon's highly anticipated sophomore album "THE LIFE", released summer 2013. Even though Daiyon's single "Hands Up" was considered to be in the same lane as LMFAO, Pitbull, or Flo Rida, his unique style and music production definitely deserves to be in a category of it's own.

St. Louis independent music scene explored | Find out what St. Louis's top newly independent rapper, Chingy has been up to and what new releases he has in store for this year.

Hip Hop rapper, Chingy is the founder of Full Dekk Motors, a car customization and restoration company based in the United States. He's always been passionate about old-school cars and intends to bring his style, creativity and passion to the automobile industry through his new venture. In a recent statement, the St. Louise rapper, famous for his debut single, Holidae Inn and other popular singles like "Right Thurr" and "Dem Jeans" said,

"Classic cars are emerging as a new investment battleground. If you go back 25 years ago, you were able to purchase some exotic cars for about $25,000. Today they're worth $1 million or more. Figures from the annual report released earlier this year showed a "truly investment-grade car" bought in 2004 would have appreciated by up to 487 per cent over the past 10 years.

A new investment analysis of collectibles shows that classic cars are vastly outperforming the art market and were the top-performing collectible investment over the past year."

HOW TO SINGLE-HANDEDLY DOMINATE IN TODAY'S WORLD OF SHOWBIZ
A Profile of Independent Artist, KC Jockey

KC Jockey news update | Music publicity and career highlights, industry updates, downloads and entertainment - Reggae Music

KC Jockey is an upcoming Reggae Pop artist who is hard to define. His style is a little bit 'Kingston' with a side of 'Brooklyn'. He's part R&B with a dash of Dance Hall Reggae. To call him simply a musician does not even begin to scratch the surface of his career in the entertainment industry. Jockey's recent appearances in major motion pictures, his modeling deals with a worldwide clothing line, his stint as official spokesperson for a popular energy drink, not to mention owning and operating his own record label, Jockey is a one man empire with a skill set unrivaled by any independent act in dancehall and reggae music.

KC Jockey was born in Kingston, Jamaica but moved to Brooklyn, NY as a young child. The rising star quickly developed a passion for all things New York--both the good and the bad. The "bad" had him in the streets hustling to get all the luxuries he saw others around him enjoying. The "good" had him embracing his God-given musical abilities, which he finally realized could provide him with the same lavish lifestyle as the hustling he saw going on around him. After his mother passed in a tragic accident in 1997, Jockey dedicated himself to the studio, often working through the night to perfect his craft. The hard work paid off in 2000 when Jockey launched his record label, Sweet Sadie's Productions, appropriately named in honor of his mother.

Fast forward to 2010 and KC Jockey enjoyed success not only in The States and in his home country of Jamaica, but all over the world. Jockey's wide musical appeal has landed his past singles on the charts in the US, the UK, France, Jamaica, and beyond. His ever-changing style has even allowed him the rare opportunity to spread music across the charts in multiple genres including Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae and Latin Music. Some of Jockey's most successful singles have included "Runway Bounce", Talk of the Town, and "Rub Your Body".

Jockey has received favorable attention for not only his hit singles but also for the breathtaking Music Videos that accompany them. The video for his single "Diggy Diggy", which was filmed partly in his hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, received considerable plays on BET's show "Uncut". Jockey has also been featured on BET.com for his "Rub Your Body" music video and on Billboard.com for the video of the single "Shake".

KC Jockey's natural charisma gives him the ability to tell a story through something as short as a music video; as you can imagine, it wasn't long before feature-length film producers took notice of his on-screen talent. Jockey has made cameo appearances in the blockbuster hits "I Am Legend" with Will Smith and "American Gangster" with Denzel Washington. He has also played significant roles in many other independent films like "What Goes Around".

Jockey's infectious smile has landed him jobs as the face of many of the hottest new products on the market. He is currently one of the faces for the fresh new clothing line 4.U.2.N.V (who have featured him on their New York City billboards), and is an official spokesperson for the popular energy drink Xtamina.

Despite all of these time-consuming commitments, Jockey continues to give back to the communities that have given him so much. His charitable efforts include working with schools to guide young students down the right path in Atlanta, Georgia, volunteering his time and efforts to a school for the blind in Jamaica, as well as contributing to Boys & Girls clubs in the States, an HIV Hospice organisation, and school building efforts in Jamaica.

When you look at KC Jockey's track record of success there is no doubt that he is quickly on his way to becoming a household name for not only his music but his vast array of talents. His newest singles, "When U Look At Me" and "Single 4 One Night" are already creating a buzz in the ears of music industry insiders and will no doubt be flying up the charts here and abroad, like so many other songs of Jockey have done in the past.

One thing is certain about KC Jockey - he is a one of a kind artist and the likes of whom the music industry has never seen.

Indie music publicists, indie music promoters and indie artists reporting their top stories, career highlights, new releases and more

YouTube Link: 

She's known to write relatable, catchy "girl power" anthems that women of all ages can celebrate and sing along to, with countless independent hit singles revolving around women's empowerment but this time Crystal hit the nail right on the head with this powerful song celebrating the trials and tribulations of some of the most renowned women that ever lived.

Most of her debut songs - Payback, War Hero, Barracuda and her most recent release prior to this, Cheater still resonate high at the top of women's "girl power" playlists and this one is expected to reside right at the top of many for years to come.

Crystal has been wowing Cali's indie music scene for a while now and making waves as an actress, starring in theatre plays and film roles, both high and low profile. Her fans have stuck with her over the years for her painfully honest, straight to the point lyrics calling out the faults of men and highlighting relationship flaws in her songs while giving subtle advice to women in the process. Only in her mid-twenties, industry insiders are speculating that Crystal will become a household name someday soon.

The release date for downloads are yet to be announced but the video for S.H.E is out now on YouTube.

IT'S GOIN' DOWN! - IS IT?

New sound discoveries, music industry highlights and news, new artists and bands, music charts, trending tracks and more daily on SRL Music News

Word on the street is that Born Ready, one of the top hit makers of Pittsburgh, USA's underground hip hop scene and Yung Joc, the world-renowned Atlanta hip hop star famous for his debut hit, It's Goin' Down could be about to do something really epic and make musical history that could finally restore hip hop fans' faith in the genre's artistic integrity and direction. 

Fans and critics have been talking ever since Yung Joc popped up in Born Ready's latest video, Bendin' Corners. In Joc's cameo, the two seemed to have that look of comradery and rapport that exists when talks are in progress for the start of something big and although it's just speculation at this point everyone is excited and wants to know what's about to go down.

Born Ready is no stranger to mainstream collaborations. He has made his name independently and worked with several big names in the hip hop game along the way including Yo Gotti, on a song called Life Like and Pastroy Troy on song and music video, Act A Fool. These collaborations are always a big hits with die hard hip hop fans and often a surprise release but fans have never had the to opportunity to witness the birth and anticipate the progress of a link-up on this scale before.

 Born Ready has been perfecting his sound for years and is now being recognised by top players in the hip hop game more so now that ever before as his hits just seem to get bigger and bigger. There's no sound more authentic, true to life and true to hip hop than BR's sound. His creativity knows no bounds and he shows no sign of taking his career to anywhere short of the highest level.

Only time will tell, as fans hold on to their seats waiting to see what happens.

CALIFORNIA'S FAVORITE PSYCHEDELIC TREAT IS BACK STRONGER

Get the latest psychedelic entertainment/music news daily on SRL News - The Ambient Light news update

Their sound is so potent and near chemically stimulating that many fans were said to have labelled it a drug and listened to it cautiously - never while operating heavy machinery or driving.

The new album by The Ambient Light, I Want To Exist was released in October, 2015 and many still can't get enough of it over a year later.

It's currently only available to download on Bandcamp.

The band is known to work painstakingly to perfect every single track so whenever they release anything it means a lot to fans and so far has always surpassed expectations.

When The Ambient Light first stepped on the scene a few years back, they were just two passionate individuals making music in a garage in Los Angeles, California, but their passion grew and spread, and before long it had become a full-blown 5-piece band project with a sound so unique and complex that it couldn't be matched by or duplicated by any other. They released their debut EP, Nostalgia Trip in June, 2013 and since then they've been helping audiences find inner peace, gather their thoughts and; in the words of one passionate music critic and fan, "drown sorrows quicker than anything else".

LOVE X STEREO'S ON THE ROAD AGAIN?

Music news headlines explored | Discover hot stories and news on independent (indie) music scenes around the world

Love X Stereo has announced new 2016 tour dates. The South Korean Electro Rock duo who recently only completed a mini tour will be accompanying two other equally strong bands, The Monotones and Fling on a tour of South Korea.

The independent band quickly made a name for themselves in their home country over the past decade, releasing a string of hot singles, albums and videos back to back and gigging non-stop. They are now known as a band that makes a mark everywhere they go; whether it's a local event in their hometown, Seoul or high profile events inside or outside South Korea, they'll be sure to light up the stage. They are very popular at music festivals and are constantly being invited back. They played at SXSW in Austin, Texas, USA earlier this year in February. As expected, they were a big hit just like in the previous years they played the festival and they'll probably be invited back again next year.

Initially a trio, Love X Stereo recently turned a duo but the band still maintains the same high energy, originality and charisma their fans fell in love with. Lead singer, Annie Ko's voice gets stronger with every new release. Her passionate screams rip through the souls of wowed audiences and leaves them begging for more every single time. When she hits the stage she makes it hers, floods the venue with love and steals the hearts of all.

The band's work ethic is stronger than any South Korean band out there and keeps getting stronger as they progress. When they're not out doing shows they are back at LXS studios working on new material, and they always have something fresh for their fans.

2016 has been a big year for the band and it only keeps getting bigger. Only time will tell what the rock gods have in store next for Love X Stereo.
