While many artists spend a lifetime chasing “international status,” 24-year-old classically trained singer-songwriter-musician Sebastian Mikael is already starting his career where others can only hope to finish. Born in Sweden to a Swedish father and Ethiopian mother, Sebastian Mikael—formerly known as De-Lor (which is French for “of gold”)—was raised in a diverse household that was enriched by music. While no one in his family ever made music professionally, Sebastian Mikael inherited his passion for music from his father and the sounds he grew up listening to inspired him to find out what was going on behind the music. Feeling a glass ceiling approaching in Sweden, Sebastian Mikael set his sights on America and enrolled at California’s Musicians Institute to study audio engineering in 2008. After living in California for two years, he relocated to Boston in 2010 to attend Berklee College of Music.

Naturally, Chrissy's keen fashion sense influenced Jim's style of dress. Realizing she had a talent for

The word swag is very loosely thrown around in this day and age, especially amongst the realm of Hip-Hop. Very rarely is there a charismatic emcee that exudes swag so much that you can’t help but gravitate to the persona, the flows, the lyrics, and the look. Forget swag. Charisma is what comes with Sean Lyric. Born in Port Au Prince, Haiti; raised in Danbury, CT, and built by NY, Sean Lyric has a character built on pure diversity. However, his New York up bringing, has taken over, giving him the attitude of a confident winner. Isn’t New York corruptly addictive? Don’t you love it?

However, he grew in the studios, on the stages, and on the radio, as Sean Lyric became a valid voice amongst the listeners. Sean Lyric is primed, and ready for his opportunity to run with his blend of Hip-Hop, R&B, and Rock. With followers steadily increasing, the buzz is beginning to build.

Olivia is not only a singer/songwriter but also a composer, producer, arranger and much more.This Jamaican born beauty first poetry work was published in the book 'Shadows and Light" and was then inducted into the National Library of Congress just four years later.

Imagine this: you’re a Grammy-nominated singer, considered one of the best vocalists of your generation, who has scored major R&B hits and been invited to collaborate with the likes of Kanye West and R. Kelly, yet some folks consider you “underrated.” This has been the plight of Syleena Johnson, acclaimed as one of the finest R&B voices to have emerged during the past decade. Having fought the major label system to allow her true identity to shine forth, Syleena now steps forward with her most personal statement to date. Her boundary-stretching fifth album, entitled, appropriately enough, Chapter V: Underrated, released September 27, 2011 on Shanachie Entertainment. Easily her best all-around album since her second best-selling album, Underrated shows the full range of Syleena’s talent as it moves from the powerful soul-balladry of songs like “Little Things” to full-on club bangers like the first single, “A Boss.” The result is a rarity in the R&B world these days - a true album that flows through

Throughout the course of music history, there are certain artists that time simply refuses to forget. Their artistry has left such an indelible mark on the industry, far beyond what the gold and platinum standard can ever hope to measure.

The unique way he effortlessly blends the sonic echoes of a bygone era with a soulful contemporary aesthetic, traversing an ocean of clichés in the process.

At first listen, Side Effects of You might sound like an album about heartbreak and the process of piecing oneself back together.  That’s true, in part, but if you have her tell it, there’s much more there.  While the Grammy-winning singer has certainly enjoyed chart-topping, triple-platinum and multi-platform success since winning season three of American Idol, she, like everybody, has made some mistakes, too.  Though she has never shied away from being transparent in her music, she wasn’t necessarily thinking about putting her words into song when she picked up a pen and her blank notebook two years ago.  Crafting this, her fourth album, was like a dream come true for Fantasia as she made it her mission to tap into the music that has inspired her over the years.  “When I was growing up, we listened to so many different types of music in my house,” she remembers.  “It started with gospel and then the blues because my grandfather loved B.B. King.  Of course I loved listening to my girls Monica, Brandy, TLC a
