It was while studying to be a nurse that singer/songwriter Roxanna witnessed first hand the healing power of music. Sitting bedside with a patient suffering from dementia, she sang gently to the elderly woman, who was no longer swallowing. “She looked into my eyes and for the first time, I saw her smile. And she began to eat,” Roxanna says. “The doctors were amazed.”
It was while studying to be a nurse that singer/songwriter Roxanna witnessed first hand the healing power of music. Sitting bedside with a patient suffering from dementia, she sang gently to the elderly woman, who was no longer swallowing. “She looked into my eyes and for the first time, I saw her smile. And she began to eat,” Roxanna says. “The doctors were amazed.”

After becoming an RN in Toronto, again, Roxanna sang each night to a young man battling cancer while enduring a regimen of caustic treatment. When he was at last released from the hospital, the man’s father—with tears in his eyes—said to her, “My son is better because of the way you sang to him.”

With that, she realized that music, like medicine, is a great healer—and destiny would take her down a different path. “When I saw patients return to health, I knew my music could be useful in this world. Pursuing my dream as a singer was the happiest moment in my life,” Roxanna says. “There’s a quote from Shakespeare that goes, ‘If music be the food of love, play on.’ I like to put my own twist on it: ‘If music can heal your soul, it can also heal your body.’ No matter where you are from, what language you speak, music has the ability to soothe, revive and foster hope. It is truly universal, in any language.”

That theme is pervasive across the 13 songs comprising Roxanna’s debut album “Exotica,” released via RoxArt Inc. With a rich tapestry of velvety ballads and rousing, robust pop anthems of healing, forgiveness and strength—accompanied by the grandeur of string orchestration and jazz, Spanish and flamenco influences—the sensual songbird has certainly found her calling. 

The collection is produced by Mark Portmann, who has worked with pop royalty Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand, Annie Lennox and Christina Aguilera. He offers, “People want to hear real talent, real voices and real stories—something that changes your life. Roxanna’s music does that. She will give you everything you ask for. It’s a daunting task for anyone new in this business and she tackled it like a warrior.”

Among highlights of “Exotica,” “Close Your Eyes,” co-written by Portmann and Lindy Robbins (Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, Nick Lachey), is a consummate nurturing love song offering a sky-scraping vocal tour de force as Roxanna sings, “Close your eyes, I’ll be here til the sunrise, and your dreams come to carry you far from sorrow.” She notes, “This song is such a parallel for what I saw as an 
RN, when people endure tough times and you want to offer them hope. I sang two takes of the lyric and we knew it possessed everything I felt in my heart.

”Beautiful Rose” is another radiant refrain, which Roxanna wrote in honor of her mother, who died in early 2013. “Her death stopped me in my tracks, but I knew she wanted me to push on, which gave me strength to pursue my dream with all the more determination. I’m only sorry I had to send it to her in Heaven.” Adding another celestial element is accompaniment by both the Prague Orchestra and trumpeter Chris Botti. 

And “Here With Me,” again featuring Botti, is based on a poetry book that her dad gave her mom some 44 years ago: “She marked her favorites by placing a rose or a stamp or some keepsake between the pages.” Roxanna took verses from her mother’s most beloved poems and translated them from Farsi into English. 

“Exotica” is previewed by the Latin-flavored “Unforgotten,” which Roxanna wrote with Portmann. It’s based on the true story of her great love leaving her standing at the altar in 1999, six days before the planned wedding. “There was my gown staring at me. I couldn’t walk past a flower shop. I was embarrassed and heartbroken,” she says. The devotional to sadness, like all of her songs, is threaded with hope, accompanied by a sumptuous music video lensed by Matthew Rolston. Playing her paramour in the clip is “Days Of Our Lives” actor 
James Scott.

The album also includes two covers made popular by Julio Iglesias. “Only You”offers an English translation of his “Como Tú,” while she delivers “El Amor” in Spanish. “Julio… the most sensual, luxurious, vulnerable sound in the world,”Roxanna purrs. “I want to be the female version, bringing passion back to contemporary music. Enough about bad romance and hate and war. Music should be easy on the ear.”

In fact, she speaks from experience, after spending her youth surrounded by strife. Roxanna was born in war-torn Iran. She turned to music for balance and calm as a child, phonetically mimicking the English-language hits of Olivia Newton-John—who, with Iglesias, is her muse. By the late 1980s, she settled in Toronto. 

Roxanna then enrolled at Winston Churchill Collegiate, mastered English, focused on music classes and joined a choir. She notes, “It opened my heart so much more. I was able to catch up with the Western world.” Then came nursing school, and her RN degree from Seneca College in Toronto. “I loved helping people heal their bodies as I healed my heart,” following her failed romance. But while rewarding, Roxanna says, “I continued to believe there was something more… something else.”

Ultimately, it was the relative of a hospital patient who asked why she wasn’t pursuing entertainment professionally—and offered the missing ingredient: financial backing. Roxanna then contacted producer Portmann and sang Aguilera’s “Lift Me Up.” In a moment, their bond was sealed.

Now, two years later, “Exotica” is ready for the world. “I look at this experience like cooking a delicious meal. It takes time for everything to come together just right. I can’t wait to share my songs as a testament that time has a way of healing everything. When you find the strength to make a change, love and forgiveness and healing are around the corner.”

Now taking the U.S by storm, is hip-hop's new upcoming, Mexican-American, recording artist, born Oscar Cortez on July 5th 1989, better known by his stage name, Skar, is now being recognized by many music industry professionals that refer him as "a different breed of Latino" according to OTH magazine. His amazing talents have landed him placements in several well known independent, local, national, international magazines, music web sites, and radio broadcasting networks, including Pandora, Street Motivation Magazine, and Playboy Radio.
Skar was raised in Inglewood, California, and thats where he was influenced by hip-hop at age 12, which initially started as a way to escape the reality and issues with poverty, and he also managed to build a huge criminal record before the age of 17. With hardships in the streets,  and with a single mother working two (2) full time jobs, and it also made it easier to spend most of the time with local gang members. forced "Skar" to seek a source of income, which caused him to spend most of his younger years incarcerated. 
During the beginning of 2006, the first of February, at only 16 years of age, "Oscar (Skar) Cortez", along with: "Daniel (Tantrum) Contreras" ; "Aly Daniel (Danny) Huerta-Espinoza" ; and, "Ivan Alejandro (Nowon Else) Perez-Cortez", got  arrested, and convicted on multiple felony charges, including two (2) counts of attempted murder, as a result of an on going gang war with a rival gang. The following year, on the 4th of February, 2007 "Daniel (Tantrum) Contreras", passed away, just days after his 18th birthday. Then about two weeks before "Skar's" cousin turned 25, "Aly Daniel (Danny) Huerta-Espinoza" passed away the fourth day of June, of 2014, on the same day "Danny's" older brother, "2 Slick" and "Skar's" older brother, "Ivan Alejandro (Nowon Else) Perez-Cortez" both turned 26 years old for their birthday. 
Facing a juvenile life sentence, in the state of California, with the possibility of being eligible for parole after serving a 15 years in prison, is what helped plant the seed in Skar's head, to become smarter, to stay away from jail and to find a purpose in life. After being released and sentenced to serve a 3 year probation term, Skar, was arrested again for violating his probation shortly after his release.  Later in August, while still detained, Skar was granted an early release under the terms of being banned from the state of California for a maximum of 7 years. In late November 2007,  the courts discontinued the case, and Skar was released, and reunited with his mother, who at the time, lived in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Finding it difficult to be accepted in the "Mid-West" allowed Skar to spend more time focusing on his music, but, it also started bringing back old habits, breaking the law. Finally at age 21 after being homeless, multiple arrests, near death experiences, and seeing almost everyone around him being headed to prison, due to all the drug and gang activity surrounding the "Mid West", he decided to pack his bags and then drove to Las Vegas, Nevada with a suspended drivers license. Deciding to pursue a career in the music industry, at the start of 2013, signing a deal with Rowdoggs Entertainment, soon after he was able to reconnect with a long time friend he grew up with in the same neighborhood, Og Rome aka Mr. Everywhere. 
On August 25th, 2013 he released his first mix tape "Your Connect", under "Rowdoggs Entertainment". The following year, the annual "West Coast Hip Hop Awards" presented "Your Connect" with the award for 2014's "Mix tape Year" at the  2014. Skar's music has also been featured on many popular and independent mix tape series, and Skar's CD has managed to get over 1,000,000+ online plays via soundcloud, mtv, youtube etc.
