Giacomo Cuticchio was born in Palermo, in 1982. He is a composer, a pianist and has his roots in one of the strongest and liveliest Sicilian theatrical traditions.
Son and grandson of puppet masters, his artistic training took place among chivalric dreams, lost and adventurously recovered minds, battles and reigning kings, passions and morality. It also resides firmly within a frame of extreme rigidity and attention to details that is so characteristic of the theatrical activity of his family.
Little Giacomo's inclination to music found very fertile ground in the sounds of the barrel-piano in the puppet theatre. This instrument traditionally accompanies the events of the Paladins of France, and the extraordinary and precious vocal gymnastics peculiar to the "Opra" and the "Cunto".
By chance, Giacomo discovered Philip Glass' music at a very young age, and this, coupled with his lasting attraction to early music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras, showed him the way forward. They constituted ideal foundations for his research into the roots of music, along the same lines as his father Mimmo’s previous innovations on the basis of the Opra.
Going beyond solely linguistic rules in music, Giacomo Cuticchio searches for immediacy of emotion, looking for the most suitable forms in structural, archetypal plots: Giacomo's music comes directly from the heart of the mechanisms that rule the working of the forms.
So much attention to the ultimate principles linked to the birth of the music brings with it an interest for the sound, in its own right and in relationship to human existence, constantly fed by live improvisation on a musical instrument.
There is no doubt that Giacomo Cuticchio's extraordinary intuition for sound has been influenced by the practice of cunto. Giacomo’s father Mimmo, pupil of the master-puppet and cuntista Peppino Celano, is one of its last true heirs. As in the cunto where the word becomes sung by the rhythmic distortion of the breath, setting free its musical soul, Giacomo's music creates the same natural sounds and brings them alive.
Here we can find the origin of the young Cuticchio's love for minimalism, this last "ism" whose attention to sound isn't superficial, as some narrow-minded critics, hostile to new categories and inventiveness, would make us believe.
This is the thread that ties together the tradition Giacomo Cuticchio is heir to, and musical modernity, harmonizing the breath and the word, the sound and the composition, transporting and soothing the mind through the sound of an ancient barrel piano.
According to the rhythm of a human existence that is still possible.

Hi, here it’s Olivia. I love making music mainly with a piano or even better with all kinds of pianos: Grand, Upright, Contemporary, Old & Noisy, Virtual. Each piano has a special voice that inspires to me different tones. I also enjoy manipulating the sound that comes out adding material inside them or using electronics, sound samples recorded in my home, surroundings or during my travels. 

After having lived in big cities I decide to settle with my family in the open countryside: we chose the rolling hills of Marche (Italy) where I finally found the right atmosphere to focus on my creativity, following the natural rhythm of nature that’s a strong inspiration for me.

I have been releasing, as an independent, since December 2016: first playing the most important contemporary composers who influence me, then with my original songs.
My debut album “Where Night Never Comes” was published in October 2018: it is all about the small and big things of a perfect day I wish would never finish. It was supported by a successfully Kickstarter campaign, chosen by Kickstarter as “Project We Love”, winner of the “Best Modern Classical Album 2018” by SoloPiano.com (USA). Since then, many new projects came out: through all of them, I want to share inspiring stories that moved and deeply involved me with the hope that they resonate with you too. Thank you for your time, it would be a pleasure to hear back from you.

Kanyan Dimah Basit, better known by his stage name Kanyan is a Ghanian recording artist. He is a songwriter and performer. 
He started recording songs even in his early years when he was in high-school and was known as a dancer. He also liked fashion. Dimah Kanyan Dimah Basit, now better known as Kanyan, used call himself "HitBoy youngest and baddest". Kanyan was born in the northern part of Ghana in a village call Tarsow, in the Sisaala district of upper west region. Growing up in the village he appeared to have a life style different from his siblings. For example he always found dancing and didn't miss any entertainment that involved dancing,he also like dressing like a musician.  He was virtually written-off in the village because they were not able to figure out the talent in him. 
He discovered himself in high school where he started trying to sing each time the school had what is called a variety show entertainment. He will sneak from school on weekends and travel all the way to the regional capital, Wa, to record demo with a famous engineer in the region called Mori, who use to work with another star artist called Wiyala. 

Kanyan took music as his career immediately  he completed high school and moved to the capital city of Ghana (Accra) in 2013. He has the conviction that Accra will definitely offer him the opportunity to unearth the talent in him. Kanyan certainly knows what he is about and what will enable him achieve it. Unfortunately, many around him didn't appreciate. The trouble was how to get people who saw him as lazy to come along with his vision. After releasing his first single (-E dey be me-) video, it started being clear to many that, there's something in him very special.
But I can assure you that, it hasn't even started yet.
He decided to change his stage name from Breezy to Kanyan when he realized using a name that describes who you are makes you feel natural and real as an African. Kanyan is an indigenous name among the people of Sisaala in the northern part of Ghana.  It simply means "Be who you are" This is a name he "inherited" from his late uncle using it as his new stage name.

Early Life 

Cheynan Grimaldi was born November 18, 1994, in Port St. Lucie, Florida. His parents are married and raised him and his only sister here for 12 years before moving to Jacksonville, Florida. His father Michael Grimaldi was from Queens, New York, he dropped out of high-school and was working full time by age 16. After moving to Jacksonville to find a better job, Cheynan adapted to the new lifestyle and found himself involved with making music and videos. 

By age 14, Cheynan was making remixes and posting them to Youtube. After attending Fleming Island High School, he then moved to Orlando, Florida to attend Valencia Community College and got very serious with making music. He and his friends transformed one of their closets into a studio and this is where he says it all began, "it all went uphill from there, suddenly we were putting out bangers every other day, shit was getting crazy". After posting multiple videos to Social Media sites like Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. Coppa and his colleagues quickly built a name for themselves. 

When asked why do you make music, he responded "I make music to make people feel good, I want to connect with the kids that live the same lifestyle as me, that like to party, chill, smoke. Don't get me wrong, I artists like Lil Wayne and all but I can't pull off that style of talking about pussy n shit all day, it's just not me, not my style, ya know?". In a later conversation Cheynan says "everybody listens to my music, everybody that listens to my music are my true fans, you can criticize me if you want but whats that going to do for you? I don't care. You're the one listening to my music. What can I say? (chuckles) I make music for people like me and that like my music, that's all I can say. I'm not trying to change for nobody".

As freshman in college, Cheynan and his crew often find themselves in outrageous situations in which they rap about in most of their music. At age 16, Clear-Cut found himself in an altercation with a police officer which resulted with a year of probation.

California might seem like a strange moniker for four of New York’s finest musicians, but step inside the East Village bar on a bitterly cold Manhattan night and it all makes perfect sense. Breezy four-part harmonies and blissfully bright melodies wash over the room, an oasis of warmth in the dead of winter. The band performs every week in the East Village, churning out potential greats such as “Goodbye Chelsea Hotel”, “Colorado”, and “Change of Heart’”, yet also refreshingly veering from setlists to explore uncharted musical territory, some songs as much a revelation for the band as it is for the audience. As one sits or stands by the bar, listening to the lovely sounds and laid-back rifts, the style mimics the California sound of such renound classics as The Eagles and CSNY. Such great examples of that 60’s and 70’s music stemmed from our country’s west coast state, is exactly the inspiration behind what you’re hearing


Blue Velvo,
From out of the wild blue yonder comes Blue Velvo, unloading a gunslinger's round of guitar in the opening tune called Six String Stinger Velvo's fingers shoot some fret-board metal at all comers, with great lyrics,this cautionary tale of a legendary player who goes from top to bottom leads us all into the mysterious world of Blue Velvo. Blending traditional rock and roll rhythms with a convincing retro sound Blue Velvo takes you on a stroll along the golden age of rock and roll, Velvo tips his hat to Jerry Lee with Blue Mamma, Ronnie Dawson on Farmer Delight, and even a pinch of Elvis on Blue Eyes Bawlin. There is also an interesting collision of surf guitar with the flair of the western thematic soundtrack style where Ennio Morricone meets Dick Dale on the songs The Legend of Johnny and Blue Tumbleweed. Miss Treater retains a lounge quality that walks the narrow line of "old" and new as well as the invigorating uptempo songs Natalie, Ancient History, Mad Dog. Ending the CD with a mysterious exploration of things that are best kept to oneself but always seem to manage a way onto tabloid news we find a curios insight into the mind with Taboo.
Blue Velvo contaminates all of these fabled influences and blends them into an absurd mixture that becomes refreshing and distinctively VELVO.
