Musician, poet, activist, fun loving teenager.

"Emanuel Vinson is the sort of absurdly ambitious young musician whose burning desire to express himself in as many ways as possible is bound to warm the heart of the most jaded listener. He takes part in poetry slams at his Chicago high school, he plays drums in a post-rock band and, at the ripe age of 17, he's just made his first solo album, "Etape Un! (My Me, Your Me)," available as a free download off a link on his Web site (www.myspace.com/emanuelvinson).

If the electro-hip-hop, industrial-electronica backings sometimes sound a bit canned -- Vinson crafted the album using Ableton, an audio sequencer playable in real time like an instrument -- his sung/rapped/recited lyrics/tone poems contain bursts of humor, inspiration and poignancy, along with touches of high-school sophomore silliness (perfectly understandable, since he actually was a high school sophomore not that long ago). "It was a creative laxative of sorts," Vinson says of these sounds, and that's no b.s."

Ricardo “Boogie Frantick” Rodriguez Jr.

Born March 1st, 1982 in the San Fernando Valley. As a youth growing up back and forth from the 818 San Fernando Valley to East Los Angeles. Boogie Frantick has always been an artist of his own kind, expressing his artistic self by either drawing, dreaming, acting and dancing. All with a unique taste of his own expression and meaning. As an individual growing up he used the tasteful art of poppin, miming techniques and other dances to good use in order to avoid negative actions. Yet this explains why his talent has a part of this worlds history. He shows the dedication along with passion in his dance. From a child dancing at the age of 3 to local battles at parties or clubs to world wide competitions to performing in front of billions of viewers on the Academy Awards in 2010. Boogie Frantick has accomplished a lot with little to ask. This humble man only wishes to continue the inspiration he gives in return for being who he is. He shares the knowledge and understanding of Hip Hop Culture and how it has helped him be the man he is today. This man represents not only one crew of super talented individuals but many crews that are truly changing the dance game today or have done so already, with crews such as:

Mighty Zulu Kingz: The MIGHTY ZULU KINGS were created the same day Zulu Nation was, NOVEMBER 12 1973, and they were to be the official BBoy crew of Zulu Nation.

Whiz Kidz Wrecking Krew: Who Boogie Frantick mentors till this day as and Older Brother with the use of Hip Hop Culture.

The Gr818ers: a coalition of college students and Hip Hop artists based out of the San Fernando Valley of Southern California dedicated to improving racial and cultural relations in our local community and in underserved communities across the country.

This man has truly paid some dues. 2013 will represent 22 years as a popper – freestyler – BBoy all in general a true Artist. From the summer of 2008 to the summer of 2010 represents a lot of accomplishments’ from being Flown out to Australia in the summer of 2008 to give their country a performance of lifetime. To the summer of 2009 when being asked to come out in the first ever 3-D dance film Step Up 3D directed by John M. Chu in Theatres 08/04/2010 to now a member and Villain "The Wave" in the new Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (www.thelxd.com) web series that was release 07/07/2010. Become a fan of Boogie Frantick not as just a spectator of his dance but in the struggles of his life to have such a talent and still hold down a humble heart with out the effects of Hollywood Stardom. A true West Coast warrior given the name once: The Prince of Los Angeles. 

Peace and Much Respects as Frantick would say…

Grounded in her faith, propelled by a desire to entertain and recognized for her crisp and fervent voice, Bobbi Castor is more than just a blue-eyed beauty from rural America.

Behind the smile is a personality equally as powerful as her compelling voice. Fierce, driven and always faithful to her standards, Bobbi continues to bring inspiration to young girls everywhere. Giving her fans a taste of the self-proclaimed Okla-homie, she’s carefree to the core as seen in her posts on YouTube and Instagram.  Bobbi Kay, as she is endearingly called by those who know her best, couples a “carpe the heck out of each diem” with a sincere modesty of self-love and respect; which can only be attributed to her western Oklahoma upbringing.  Steadied by a strong foundation of maturity, Bobbi’s youthfulness is heard throughout all of her musical expressions. This beautiful combination allows a crossover to many genres, appealing to all the music aficionados out there.

Like her sound, Bobbi won’t be labeled. She’s not just a “pop princess” or a “soulful diva” or the next “country queen” – she fuses the inspirations of Taylor Swift, Etta James and Kacey Musgraves to create a sound specific to her but favorable to many. Bobbi has had a lifetime of inspiration to draw from, and she gives the glory for all of her talents to God and her family. Growing up in a musical family, it wasn’t uncommon for an impromptu “jam session” to start on any given day. These moments allowed Bobbi to express herself at a very young age, writing her first song “Every Step” at the ripe old age of seven. Her spirited renditions of her favorite songs were always worth the watch, as many can attest. 

She has been no stranger to the stage, recently showcasing her skills for the NBA in support of her Oklahoma City Thunder. However,  she still treasures those early days of debut performances at local festivals, church, and the occasional backyard BBQ.  Her calling has only been strengthened by her mentors and “partners in musical crime”, older brothers Chris and Daniel. The invaluable sharing of their expertise alongside an array of experiences and constructive supporters, she was able to hone in on her skills and develop the sound she is so known for today. 

Her strong family connection has continued throughout her career as she claims her favorite performances are when her brother, Chris, is playing beside her. Their connection is undeniable as the musical nuances created from a lifetime of creating music together spring from every chord and lyric. Performing IS her favorite pastime, the intimate expression of sharing her experiences with others and giving them a musical outlet to embrace their experience is the food to her soul. Whether it is opening for the likes of Asleep at the Wheel or close-knit performance for Duck Dynasty Celebrities, Phil and Kay Robertson, Bobbi commits to her audience and delivers an unforgettable show each and every time.  

Her passion for music remains unbridled – but she does allow herself some restraint in order to focus on her songwriting. Being able to “journal” her life (the good, bad and ugly) has always been an integral part of her healthiness as an artist and more importantly as a person. With a relentless love for the underdog or those less fortunate, Bobbi’s empathetic prowess and compassion for others motivate her to produce music that is good for the heart.

A bold, raw talent with an uncanny sense of humor. Innocent quirkiness fashioned with a resilient and ferocious appetite for adventure, Bobbi Castor is ready for the here and now.  The question is - are you ready for Bobbi Castor?

"Theme Music: Every Good Hero Should Have Some" by 99
(Read original Review at DC Brand 99)
http://dcbrand99.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/theme-music-every-good-hero-should-have-some/

Black Rock Star Superhero Music Street Tape showcases Head-Roc’s extraordinary ability to reach beyond traditional hip hop audiences, using his gift of lyricism, go-go style voice instrumentation, and love of DC funk to bring forth a project that would do a whole city proud.

This is hip hop for adults, stylish and mature; even through the f-words, you can hear the messages loud and clear, and as it spins for the second time, you feel that the prognosis is good for Black people everywhere. The song “Mayor 4 Life” (Tribute to Marion Barry), an instant classic, is a demonstration of the attitude on this project, of which music lovers will enjoy their fill. Just when you were about to snatch a young’un and tell him to pull his pants up, grown men are showing their entire ass, including where you can kiss it, to an establishment of gentrification, wack rap music, and other forms of disenfranchisement proven ripe for this pimped-out protest of sorts. Sit back and let it play as Head-Roc supplies what can best be described as Black DC’s Theme Music: it is boastful, it has grandiose visions of a city filled with loving Black people, and, true to DC, it does its own thing.

One understudied element that the best hip hop albums share is a sense of humor, and Head-Roc effortlessly delivers the punch line amidst the braggadocio, making it clear that the founding generation of DC hip hop artists is fully enjoying its manhood stage. It’s not “rappity-rap-rap”… it’s good music that will ‘syce’ you, as DC area slang signifies, from a popular son of the city.

DC music geeks: The anthem “Chocolate City Rocks!” is a perfect example of a song that would become a radio hit if DC radio stations played it a lot (like how radio works). The bonus is that the funk rock band GODISHEUS recorded a version of the song that is also worthy of bumpin’ this spring and summer.

Euphony got their start in 2005 as a side project. The Wallberg brothers wanted to play in a band together and Simon ”Kaffe” Meyers wanted to be a lead singer in a band, instead of just playing the drums. He was already playing drums in ”Six Enough”, which was his main project together with Marcus. They played together without any real pretentions or genres in mind, and rehearsals were relatively sparse until 2007, when the project was cancelled. At this point they decided to get serious, moving to a rehearsal space closer to downtown Stockholm. At the same time, however, the current bass player Magnus Berg decided to leave, and the search for a new bassist began.
 
Max brought in his friend Johan Wahlström, and the band began working on their first demo. The demo was finished in 2008. During this period the band started getting some gigs, among them one on the fabled big stage at Kungsträdgården. The band felt ready to start putting some real effort into the band, but unfortunately the bass player Johan had to leave the band to focus on other things. Thus, the search for a bass player resumed.
 
Just a few months later they found Onur Elibol, who was looking for a band in Sweden to play with. They knew from the first time Onur tuned up his bass that he was the right man for the job. This was the start of a very positive period for the band, and it lead to the release of the split single Caged Magister/Choking in 2009. The following summer Euphony once again took the stage at Kungsträdgården, this time by their own accord. All good things must come to an end, however. Onur had trouble supporting himself in Sweden, and ultimately had to return to Turkey, where jobs as a musician were waiting for him. Once again Euphony was up **** creek without a paddle, without a bass player. Back up on the horse again!
 
This search ended when finding Hans Lindberg, a seasoned bassist with a tasteful style of play. Work was resumed, but before they had a chance to record their debut album they faced an all too familiar issue; Hans (father of a bunch of children and husband to a wife), who lived over an hour’s drive away had to cut down on some things to make time for work and family and…
 
…well, Euphony was cut. Now the depression of the band had reached its peak, and for a great while nothing happened. Eventually they decided to continue working without a permanent bass player in the band, and bring in a temp when the occasion called for it. After working like this for a period of time, they received a tip about a bass player, and thought ”we might as well try him out”. This resulted in Samuel Vidén joining the band, a former musician turned law student, and the depression was lifted from Euphony. Since then they have been working actively towards finishing the recording of their debut album, which hopefully will see the light of day during 2013. They will be pursuing gigs during the recording process.

Love’s in Need of Love Today
Elizabeth Tomboulian tends to her heart’s deep desire, singing of the power love has to heal, to hurt, to supersede. When the Orlando shootings happened, Stevie Wonder’s song, “Love’s in Need of Love Today” came to mind. She now had her concept for the CD featuring songs of love: broken, in need of repair, ambivalent, naughty, bluesy, and high flying.

“Exactly Like You” has the distinctive rhythmic spice of New Orleans. After she developed the harmony on “Time After Time,” Bill Evans’ “Re: Person I Knew” worked well as an interlude with Ingrid Jensen’s signature trumpet. “Nutty-If I Love Again” smash-up hearkens to Jackie and Roy with the couple singing and swinging together. McCoy Tyner’s “For Tomorrow” tells of the ambivalence of loving, with lyrics Elizabeth wrote when she and Lee were dating. Elizabeth shines on “The Ballad of the Snow Leopard and the Tanqueray Cowboy,” the rangey piano/vocal epic wailing about our hunger for inspiration and everything else money just won’t buy. Her heart for Bossa Nova beats strong on “Tristeza de Amar,” with tasteful weaving of scat and Jensen’s flugel. Elizabeth’s years of singing the blues with a guitar hold fast on “Good Old Wagon” with her voice dipping to the depths and soaring to the heights with ease. The intimacy of her accompaniment with the voice on “I Get Along Without You Very Well” whispers the bravado of lost love. “Love’s in Need of Love Today” takes us to church and the power of community to come together and stop the hate before it’s gone too far, augmented by the Tomboulians’ and Vitro’s gospel choir. “Cheesy,” Elizabeth’s gently swinging composition of longing for love while being choosey, is her tribute to her mother, who always hoped she would record it. Current events are reminiscent of the resistance movements of the 1960s with human rights being eroded by the machinations of the legislature. Mass shootings are becoming commonplace. This inspired her riff on “For What It’s Worth” and her lyric to “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” affirming that “we can make a way for every soul to live in peace. There is no fear in this whole sphere that love cannot defeat, for what it’s worth.”
