REVIEW: by SANDY SHORE - SMOOTHJAZZ.COM Global Radio ~

They call him Jazzboy… loved by music fans abroad, this young man has already performed all over the world and he’s just beginning! Dino Fiumara has a knack for blending sexy pop with Smooth Jazz sensibilities and great sax solos. His vocals are breathy and jazzy like George Michael and fun like Michael Buble… his musical arrangements are decidedly jazz, no doubt influenced by his noteworthy father, a first call jazz bassist in Pittsburgh, PA and the CEO of BSX Bass. Currently recording his forthcoming, full album in Los Angeles, Dino is 3 songs deep with “Jazzboy,” “Where the Music Takes Me,” and the most recent to roll out is “I Will Wait For You.” All three are available now on iTunes and you can hear his latest featured on SmoothJazz.com Global Radio! Start downloading this energetic collection of tunes, ‘cause you’re gonna love this Jazzboy! ~SANDY SHORE

She was originally discovered performing in a nightclub by music industry veteran Martin Heath of Lizard King Records, most noted for inking deals with artists ranging from Santigold to The Killers.  Under Heath’s guidance, Ksana began to develop her own brand of post-Soviet-meets-American industrial metal and formed the group OXZANA.  While signed to Lizard King, the band went through various musical evolutions and personnel changes, and eventually KSANA decided to go the independent route, allowing her total creative freedom.
After recording a cover on ‘’Show must go on’’ by Freddie Mercury in her bedroom, Ksana’s YouTube Channel explodes, getting her over a million views  in no time. She gets a call from Russian Tv to participate in The Voice (Golos) and gets to semi finals. ONe show after another, first Russian single ‘’ОТПУСТИ” (LET ME GO) life took a different route; Ksana focuses on her career in Russia.
