Myles Alexander Keaton Smith, a Violinist/Hip-hope artist whose talents and performances are unlike any other. “I perform positive, constructive music without being preachy, corny or profane,” says Smith with his trademark unassuming charisma. His humility and humanity have earned him his stage name, Humble G Tha Fiddla. A resident of Cleveland, Ohio, top ten member of Cleveland’s Got Talent and a student from the Cleveland School of The Arts, it is Humble’s self-taught violin playing that captivates contemporary audiences as he blends to perfection the edginess of hip hop with the radical elegance of strings. His MC skills are on point and he moves effortlessly from rapping to picking up a violin and playing over hip hop tracks. Seeing is believing.
“Brothers Keeper” and “Ride for Me” are two songs that amplify how this artist has masterfully bridged two musical worlds. He has delivered over 500 high energy shows with a unique twist. Humble is launching his Stop the Hate/High School/College Tour, his mix tape, One of a Kind, and his album, Undeniable. He routinely makes time for performances at nonprofit gigs in schools, prisons and peace rallies. To an audience of 7,000, Humble opened for Barack Obama in Cleveland, Ohio.
His future is vested in the inspiration of a new generation of musical talent that does positive music.His artistic temperament is funneled through a generous and loving spirit that, according to Humble, is, “Be Wise, Be Confident but above all, Be humble.”
Humble is a co-founder and independent artist with Global Entertainment Incorporated, a Cleveland based entertainment company that specializes in music that challenges the heart and the head. “Humble understands the magnitude of his gifts and the responsibility to use them in a productive manner,” says Gary Martinis, President of Spittin Rhymes Productions LTD. Humble is also a member of “Violins Against Violence,” a program which putsviolins in the hands of Ohio 3rd graders, and is an active member of the Cleveland Entertainment Coalition.
FOX’s new hit show Empire is rolling out some serious musical talent. Enter rising starlet V Bozeman. You may recognize her as the powerhouse vocalist who stole your heart within the first two minutes of the pilot episode, singing her single “What Is Love?”
Before linking with Lee Daniels for his syndicated venture, Bozeman has been in the shadow of the music industry for several years. Currently signed to Timbaland’s record label, Mosley Music Group via Epic Records, V has worked with Timbo, songwriter Cee-Lo Green, and producer Polow Da Don on her latest musical projects. Bozeman was introduced to Timbo after working with singer Timothy Bloom, formerly signed to Timbaland. She showed him the visual to her powerful ballad “Race Jones” and Timbo was hooked ever since.
“He was like ‘Yo! You need to be on this new show Lee Daniels is doing for FOX’,” she recalls. “I was like ‘Okay’ but you know, I didn’t think really too much of it. The next day, Timbaland called and said, ‘I showed [Lee] “Race Jones” and he was like ‘Yo where is this girl? I need to see her, I want to put her in Empire!’ Then Lee connected with my manager and it’s been history since then.”
On the show, Bozeman plays Veronika, the soul siren signed to Empire Records. New to the acting world, Bozeman says it was an experience sharing the screen with Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. “Terrence just embraced me immediately. Taraji embraced me immediately and just said ‘You better be ready for this girl because this is going to be out of here!’ Everyone on the set was just amazing,” she says.
On the music front, Bozeman finished two albums last summer and will be releasing them both this year. Before her solo debut Music is My Boyfriend drops this summer, her collaborative album with Timbaland, Opera Noire, will arrive late February/ early March and is, what she describes, “so powerful it’ll hit the [music] industry in a way it’s never been hit before.” -VIBE

Like Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd with more of a dance ethic, Westerner is a cosmic, funky rock band. Their first album, Unreal City, is a drug-addled, psychedelic romp through akashic memories and dystopian prophecies. It's a sci-fi, rock opera composed of catchy pop songs, surreal soundscapes, and strange characters who seem to be climbing out of the rabbit hole. Watch out, Alice.

Definitely a party set. The guys kicked it off by drooling over Linda Ronstadt. Shit we would too! Hot Tub Johnnie and the boys got into the night’s lineup. Of course, there were some jokes (lame and otherwise) about Dinosaur Dick. Is Dinosaur Dick’s tag line “Non-cock fun?” There were a lot of other jokes.
We then moved into the second half of Hot Tub Johnnie’s DJ set which began with the amazing Fiona Grey and her song “What you want.” (She will be at the show November 16th!) We closed this set with the new classic Dr. Pepper and Chunky. Side note: “I dun rocked more ice than Michele Quan” is an amazing line from Dr. Pepper.

Hunnypot 324 LABOR DAY edition kicked off with a steamy session in the hot tub. We're referring to DJ Rap, not Pesci's lack of clothing. DJ Rap chopped it up with Hot Tub Johnnie and Jeff "Pesci" Gray and reminisced about her challenges and success in the music industry. As she puts it "I've definitely been financially raped with no lube." We then moved into DJ Rap's DJ set, which includes a myriad of 80's classics. So, of course Phil Collins and Madonna were a must.
Hot Sauce Holiday arrived with a green box. They lit The Mint up with their singularly unique cabaret-style set and molested the green box....there are pictures. DJ Rap got down on the dance floor and showed off another one of her many talents.
Breakfast, a band whose videos have been heavily featured on Hunnypot's daily video pick, took the stage next and fascinated us with their amazingly produced songs. We look forward to seeing much more great things from them.

After meeting in Los Angeles, Andrea Adolph, Max Bussell, Sean Dwyer and Luciano Russo began making music together in 2010, eventually forming BREAKFAST in 2012. After self-releasing their first album, Sun/Moon, later that year, the band played a few unofficial showcases at SXSW in 2013 before joining up with Red Bull Sound Select and continuing to play shows throughout LA and the US.
Each member plays a variety of instruments and their live sets see them switch roles frequently during shows, a dynamic that is present in both their music and their relationship as a band. They all share the spotlight, and equally contribute to the creation of their music and their distinctive sound. A pairing of pop and analog synths, their style is at once innovative and delightfully retro, both fresh and familiar.
Pr0files is comprised of longtime friends, Lauren Pardini and Danny Sternbaum. Their first collaboration was in 2008 under Danny's prior project, The Boy Traveler, which also featured Sonny Moore aka Skrillex. They went on to work separately, Lauren writing and playing keyboards in hip-hop producer, DJ Khalil's camp working with such artists as Corin from Purity Ring and A$AP Rocky. Meanwhile, Danny toured with his band, Baby Monster (supporting Klaxons, Miike Snow and Metric to name a few) as well as remixing tracks for artists including Ellie Goulding, Gorillaz and Miami Horror.
For the next few years, they collaborated intermittently until the summer of 2013 when a devastating break-up fueled the writing of the song, "Call Yourself A Lover." They self-released the track 6 weeks later where it was met with immediate viral success topping Hype Machine with blogs such as Hilly Dilly praising: "It’s not every day that a debut track can make you sit up and REALLY take notice."
Since then, they have started their own record label, Straight A Records which includes such releases as "Forgive" and most recently "Get it Up." Both songs have topped Hype Machine as well as being featured on Spotify's New Music Tuesday Playlist. They have played sold out shows throughout Los Angeles opening for such acts as The Dø and Tei Shi while playing in warehouses throughout the city. All the while, scoring a tv show for Marvel as well as landing placements with Go Pro and Grey's Anatomy.
They are currently working on their full album, JURASSIC TECHNOLOGIE set for release in fall 2015 with plans to tour.

He's from Sherman Oaks, but that phrase means nothing to you. His music and general apathy reign from the valley. That's right, THE valley. As in the one that hugs the top of Los Angeles, desperately longing to be invited to its party, but not willing to get its hands dirty. Jake waves the flag of AstroTurf-suburbia with shamelessness and appreciation for the finer things in life: Mel's Diner, house parties, and the phrase, "I'll be there in twenty."
So now you know where he's from, but what does he do? On May 12th, his debut album K dropped on CandyRat Records. The live band consists of Mr. Davis, Jamestown III, and Jadigilish Mongoon: cooking up something good. If you want to know more about Jake and the band, simply consume everything he's ever done.

The good vibes began with head honcho Hot Tub Johnnie's show opening set which contained a deftly daft mix of next level rockabilly (Bop Kings), modern rock (Whisky Stain) and trendy picks (Kiiara, The Preatures) and left-of-center staples such as “Take The Skinheads Bowling” by Camper Van Beethoven, after which Abby North of North Music Group dropped in to give us the unchained story on the career of super composer Alex North. Not only did she treat us to an expertly curated listening session that included excerpts from classic North-composed scores from films such as "Spartacus", "A Street Car Named Desire", "Cleopatra", and "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?", but also an inside looks at the original recording of the now legendary "Unchained Melody".
After a look at North Music past, we delved into their present and future with an interview and live performance from Ainjel Emme, featuring an emotionally moving performance of her newest single, "Machine". Once the stage was set for the night, British bombshell Tamar Leek and her band Reveries took the energy to the next level, passing the baton to Little Fortune, and while there were no sons of sitting U.S. Senators in the audience, we were all most definitely fortunate for sticking around the party because Madus closed down the night with a scorching set that included soaring vocals and searing guitars. If you missed out, there's always another time to play! We'll be back on September 7th with live sets from Breakfast, Pr0files, and Hot Sauce Holiday. 08/24/2015
North Music Group LLC is a multi-faceted music media company that functions as a music publisher, music supervision firm, & record label.
Songwriter / Multi-Intstrumentalist / Studio Rat / Lefty-Who-Plays-Righty Ainjel Emme grew up on a steady diet of analog rock, late night living room jams, 4 track cassette recordings, and interstate highways. Thus far in her delicately blooming solo career, Ainjel has written and produced two independent albums (HEARTACHE IS BORING and EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL).
Tamar Leek of Birmingham, England, is in Los Angeles mixing her seven-song EP, "Change In The Retrograde," with her band Reveries. Tamar served a stint in a British all-girl band, hosted music interviews for Vulture TV, and studied as a tattoo artist, before being persuaded to come to LA by a couple of producers who overheard her singing to herself in a London pizza parlor. As it turned out, Tamar not only had a beautiful voice, she also had roots in hard rock and quite a lot to say. The songs on the album, co-written with the band and producer Sejo Navajas, are elegant and painful, lyrically striking a continued metaphor about the betrayal of technology to our human selves, the struggle of analog love in a digital world. Jose Alcantar (Interscope, American Idol) is mixing "Change In The Retrograde," which was recorded at 4th Street Recording. It features newly released 'Satellite control', and their pre-release single "Lullaby" which earned a #4 spot on ReverbNation's Rock Chart, and was #8 on Scuzz TV's Chart of "The Hottest Videos in the World," not to mention the only unsigned band on the list.
Little Fortune is a new project started by L.A. based musicians Doran Danoff, Yonatan, and Jorge Balbi. With a modern synth based sound at their core, the trio explores dark and lush electro pop with an emphasis on innovative song writing and arrangements. Beautiful falsetto voices mix with soulful lyrics and vintage undertones in an emotional and sexy sound.
MADUS, formerly known as Tangent Transmission, is ready to hit the music scene with a new sound and more ambition than ever! For listeners of Muse, Jeff Buckley, and Incubus, while still keeping it dark, fun, and funky fresh. Debut EP coming out soon!
"Growth and evolving as an artist" are the two things that the L.A. native Haze says keep driving him to deliver new music for his core following. The 26 year old says he's putting the final touches on his forthcoming project, he says a lots happened in his life in the time between he released his last full length project titled "Young Man's World" and after a listen to some of the featured records that fact is evident. Check out some of the new heat.
