HOW NOT TO CATCH A DELICIOUS SPRING CHICKEN

Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio, US Independent Adult Contemporary music fan circles have been buzzing with excitement since Rochester, New York artist Christina Custode announced her No Spring Chicken Circuit Tour earlier this year. With only one week to go, Christina is gearing up for what is expected to be her most anticipated and most successful tour to date.

On the 6th of December, 2011, a budding Christina Custode released her first of many successful independent music releases like nothing New York had ever heard. It was organic, genuine, and utterly comforting - it spoke to the soul. The album was titled "I" and it received unprecedented critical acclaim which lay the grounds for Christina being nominated in 5 categories at the 58th Grammy Awards soon after, and going on to enjoy a long, fruitful career as an independent artist.

In love with the piano since she was a little girl, music has always been her passion. Her songwriting has been highly regarded by even the toughest music critics since her debut album, which still causes more excitement than hot cakes everytime any of its songs is played.

Christina has since played countless live music venues and toured the US several times, garnering a solid fan base, not just nationally but internationally as well.

A soothing piano, a peaceful ambience, an angelic voice, sweet melodies, graceful harmonies, deep, passionate lyrics straight from the heart, an immense sense of love and warmth, an elegant set and an even more elegantly dressed Christina with a beautiful calming smile, the feeling of a million butterflies being released into the atmosphere and a feeling of togetherness brought about by fans resonating with each other and their host in awe are only some what CC's fans have grown to expect at every event; and they get much more than they bargain for every single time. She has quickly become a prominent name in Independent Adult Contemporary music and as her career progresses she blossoms as does her sound - becoming more beautiful and more pleasant with every passing moment.

Christina continues to write and record music regularly. Her latest single, the first official release of her popular song, High Water was made available to stream and download on iTunes, Spotify and other major digital music retailers, music streaming/subscription services and music outlets on the 15th of March, 2017.

I'M BACK!!!

From the streets of Spanish Harlem, New York, a 17 year old DJ Bossa Nova who had grown up listening to R&B, Hip Hop and Rock music acts like Jay-Z and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers moved out west to Los Angeles, California where he was first introduced to House Music. It was there and then his passion for electronic music production was born and he has never looked back since.

With residencies in both Hollywood and Santa Monica, radio shows, including Out Of The Box on Wild 1 Radio and various other live music events, sessions, collaborations, special features and projects running simultaneous, Bossa Nova, who is without doubt one of California's busiest House Music DJs, with a fan base that grows almost exponentially with every passing rave likes to stay in close contact with his fans by releasing hour-long mixes every month. He has done so for years now and it's one of the reasons his loyal fans have stuck with him for so long and continue to do so.

Bossa Nova always delivers a unique sound and feel like no other DJ out there and constantly evolves, adding new dimensions and elements to keep it fresh. Taught by the world famous Hip Hop DJ and Scratch champion, DJ Swift, who he often collaborates with, he is known for his ability to switch comfortably between while incorporating elements of numerous genres including Future House, Pop, Hip Hop, Rock and R&B. 

After a short unannounced intermission between his mixes which seem to have dropped of the map or could have possibly been delayed for a while for reasons unspecified, Bossa's latest mix brought great excitement and relief to his fans, who had feared the worst. The new mix, titled "Everything", was released yesterday, the 10th of April and restored all balance in Bossa Nova's world of die-hard House Music lovers. It has everything from Future House and Electro to Trap and Hip Hop, and features Benzi, Cazes, TroyBoi, Drake, Joe Maz, Malaa and 4B, just to name a few.

As usual, it's available to stream and download for free on Soundcloud.

DON'T CALL IT A COME BACK

An avid music producer and songwriter, Chriz J's love for music began at an early age in Chicago where he was born and raised, and still resides. After discovering his love for music at about 11 years old he joined small rap groups and got involved in hip hop in anyways he could to explore the depths of his talents. A few years later he set up a recording studio where he started recording and releasing music from. Only a few mixtapes later, by around 2012 Chriz's name was on the map and his sound was defined. Chicago Hip Hop hasn't been the same ever since. Chriz flooded it with euphoric true to life hip hop sounds like everything hip hop had been missing for a while and a lot more. Shortly after the release of his break out track, "Gettin' Money", New Mill Entertainment, the imprint under which he self-releases all his music was formed. He quickly followed up with "Game Over", another groundbreaking single that topped independent music charts internationally.

5 years down the line and numerous successful and groundbreaking singles, mixtapes, albums and collaborations later, R.E.D.S, his latest mixtape was released to critical acclaim in April 2016 and was said to be his most successful release to date. Chriz was ready to take his career to the next level. In December he followed up with "Change", the first in a series of internationally released records with unmatched, top of the line production like nothing he had ever released. It marked a step in a new direction and a new high for Chriz's career. Needless to say, Change came with a whole new status and fan base for the Chicago hip hop prodigy and he is now highly regarded in both underground and mainstream hip hop circles, not just by fans but by artists as well.

Chriz's latest single, titled Mask Off was released only a few hours ago on Soundcloud. It's the first single from his most highly anticipated upcoming mixtape, PDV3 due to be released soon.

I STILL LOVE YOU, CRYSTAL STARR

Crystal is a fun, soulful multi-talented young lady with a diverse range of interests and a sound that can only be compared to and matched by international recording artists more than twice her age. Her sound is full, deeply passionate, inspirational, motivational and empowering with a whole lot of attitude, often revolving around themes of girl power, heartbreak, and relationships in general. Her debut album, which included powerful singles like Shelly! Shelly! and Payback had a very distinctive '60s inspired Retro Pop feel which still shines through in many of her songs today and sets her apart from other R&B and Pop singers even in the mainstream market. The album was recorded with veteran music producer, J Dixon, whose credits include world reknowned acts like Mariah Carey, Patti Labelle, Diana Ross and Chaka Kahn.

 After winning the 2011 Best R&B Award at the Hollywood Music Awards, Crystal got on the radar of top entertainment industry insiders and fans, and she has been on her way to becoming a house hold name since. She has gone on to create numerous chart topping songs and videos, and a solid body of work worthy of envy.  Packed with awesome costumes, glamourous outfits and a with generally classy, lush feel, Crystal's live events and concerts are some of the most memorable fans could ever wish for.

After an eventful 2016, which saw the Los Angeles, US independent singer songwriter, actress, model and allround role model top all her previous records and release her most successful single to date - S.H.E, Crystal is back again with a new single that is already getting raving reviews. 

The new song, I Still Love You is out in stores now. A Live Music Video for the song was also recently released on YouTube to promote the song.
