Artist Watch: Leona Lewis

Posted in Artist to Watch, Leona Lewis with tags on March 22, 2008 by syncity

The girl looks like she walked out of a victoria secret catalogue…Reminds me a little bit of Stacey Dash. She is Clive Davis’ new diva. She has the old Mariah/ reaching crazy octave ranges. She has the o’so trendy English accent from the U.K. She is 21! Legal and still young! It’s over ya’ll! pack up ur bags! LOL

Damaine Radcliff have been a long time friend of mines. When we had nothing, we were break dancing in Union Square just for the hell of it. He is now an actor. If you don’t know who he is…see here:

Artist Watch: Kid Sister

Gotta love the Kanyeezy Feature on this too!

Check her MySpace!

Here’s the debut video for female rapper Kid Sister directed by Ruben Fleischer. The song is called “Pro Nails” and it features Kanye West. We’re really digging the song and video. Kid Sister reportedly made this video for three thousand dollars (!) and it looks better than some big budget videos.

Artist Watch: Kenna

Posted in Artist to Watch, Kenna with tags on November 26, 2007 by syncity

Being a DJ, I prefer the mixed crowd or what they would call the high end crowd. Not only it pays better because companies got more dineros but they are more open musically. I can play rock, pop, hip-hop, soul in one night and they be diggin it. Lately, I’ve been lovin the 80’s and so do the whole world (see Ne-Yo, Nelly Furtado, Ciara). Kenna brings that essence in his music and not one song is weak. (Yes I just bought his Album!). Check him out and see for yourself!

There is a gap musically and Ahmir are there to fill in that void. They remind me of Boys II Men. Their songs are classics that I’m sure will be played in 10 years! They were featured in Vibe Magazine, these boys got it goin on!

Artist Watch: Asians are on the Rise in the Music World

Posted in Artist to Watch on November 3, 2007 by syncity

Ok, being that I am of an Asian descent and that I am in the music business, I feel there’s a void for an Asian-American star just like a Beyonce or a J-Lo, it’s time. Think about how many people actually live in Asia alone. And then, how many Asians and Asian of descent live in America…I feel we are being misrepresented and stereotyped as the kung-fu or the nerdy characters in Hollywood. I feel there aren’t enough Asians or Asian of descent in music. I’ve seen talents but people are scared to sign something they don’t really know. Labels have a lot of incompetant staffs that don’t do their research and work for their money’s worth…matter fact forget the money. Some of them don’t deserve to be there because they want to be elsewhere in reality and that’s what they don’t do their job correctly. I am still mad at what happened to Jin and Amerie. Well I’m going to stop here cuz I will vent for hours. Here are what I have found:

Jaymz Madison

I love that song called “Room Service” and she definately have the pipe (see her video where she belts it out!). She got an innocent Janet Jackson face, Beyonce’s “Freakum Dress” video Choreographer, Jonte, and a very talented songwriter/producer (Teron Beal – Ask about him!) working with her. They say the artist is as strong as his/her team, if that’s true, then best believe she is there to stomp a lot of competition!
