Local Artist Knormul A+ Connects With Osiris Shoes


Coming up with the dreams and aspirations to become a well known music artist was the dream. The sound has to be right, having that uncanny ability to rock the crowd at the drop of a dime, and also having that image that your fans can connect with. From Run DMC and their Shell Toed Adidas, to Jay Z and his Roc a Wear apparel. Here we have an up and coming music artist Knormul A+ who has branded himself throughout the growth of him being a music artist. Recently he has connected with a major urban clothing company named Osiris. From performances to award shows, photoshoots to radio interviews, Knormul A+ was never seen without Osiris on him. Through everything Knormul A+ has gone through in his local career Osiris has been there, and now Osiris has chosen to support him with ongoing sponsorship for the Knormul A+ image. Not only does this back Knormul A+ knowing he does not have to look in other directions for what to wear, but he now has a clothing company that will tailor to his image.

Photobucket


In the process of Knormul A+ landing this clothing connection with Osiris, he gives a big thank you to Lindsay Soule who is the Marketing Coordinator of the Osiris Shoe Company for making everything possible. Also Knormul A+ thanks photographer Victor Weaver for assisting in the process for everything visual. With the continuous push from Knormul A+ with his music, and making appearances with various ventures, Osiris will always be the image and name we all will get to know in years to come.

The Small Hours Unwrap New EP This Holiday Season


LOS ANGELES - December 18th, 2012 - Celebrating the holiday season, British-American rockers The Small Hours are giving fans a free four-song EP treat titled "Ether and Make Believe." Featuring a mix of bitingly cynical lyrics and haunting yet accessible melodies, the indie band's latest release includes the songs "I Don't Mind," "When the Dust Blows," "Eyes to the Side" and "Perversion for Profit."



"Ether and Make Believe" is being distributed globally by New Zealand-based Coldwater Entertainment, and is available now for digital download on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ether-and-make-believe-ep/id588418359), Amazon, Spotify, eMusic, Google Play, Rhapsody, iHeart Radio and Xbox Live, amongst others, and, for a limited time, as a free download on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/the-small-hours/sets/ether-and-make-believe.

"Ether and Make Believe" follows the band's 2011 full-length record, "The Battle of Airstrip One."



"'Ether and Make Believe' contains just a sampling of the edgier music that we've been working on over the last year," said Robin Goodchild. "I spend a lot of time in the upper registers on this EP. This is the first of three releases we'll be putting out within a year and each will have a slightly different feel. We're excited for fans to hear them all."



"Ether and Make Believe" was recorded at Atlantic Studios in Hollywood, CA. The EP is self-produced by the band and was engineered by John Armstrong. All songs were written by The Small Hours.

"A Matter Of Time" The New Short Film Music Video By Ajay Mathur Is Released!

Luzern, Switzerland -- After recently releasing two traditional music videos and receiving thousands of YouTube views and positive reception, the internationally acclaimed solo artist, Ajay Mathur, has once again teamed up with Swiss production company Cyrus Films to create a short film music video for the single track off his new album, A Matter of Time.

This is the third successful music video production between Cyrus Films and Ajay Mathur since the release of his new album earlier this year. The idea with this production was to create more of a film rather than the traditional music video. “I find traditional music videos boring. They are all starting to look the same. I don't have to make a video that shows the band or a singer performing the song in some unreal setting. I'd rather go to concerts to see the band because the atmosphere there is live, loud and real,” says Mathur. During a sit down with director Chris Bucher to discuss concepts for the film, Ajay came to realize that he'd rather use the music video medium to tell a story and leave the band performing for the live concerts. They both found the idea of debunking Bollywood romance as a movie within a movie exciting, and they decided to even mix traditional Swiss cultural peculiarities with the Bollywood touch to give an Alpine-Heidi-Om Shanti kind of twist to it.

Born and raised in India, Ajay performed at some of the hottest clubs in Delhi and Mumbai during the height of the 1970's. While some of the biggest international musicians from the West, including Jimmy Page and Don Cherry, were touring the country in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, they joined Ajay on stage for unforgettable jam sessions that lasted through the night. In the 1980's, love brought Ajay to Switzerland. It was there that Ajay celebrated success with his rock group, Mainstreet. Along with sold out tours across Europe, the group had an impressive four singles and two albums make it to the top 20 on the Swiss radio charts, enjoy airplay on various European radio stations and month-long club power play in Tokyo's Hard Rock Cafe.

The new video 'A Matter of Time' is off of Ajay's newest album 'A Matter of Time,' which is his first album since his days with his band Mainstreet.

Watch the video now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR266i8Px5g

A Matter of Time is now available at most digital storefronts.

Turkey Vulture Records Signs Core


Turkey Vulture Records would like to announce the signing of the rising South Dakota rock band CORE. Both parties are excited in this venture and are very excited in working together. Core will be entering T.V.R. Recording Studios with Turkey Vulture Records label owner and producer Jason Z. for the yet to be titled album which will begin in early 2013 and set for release and distribution through Turkey Vulture Records/Bungalo Records/Universal Music Group Distribution. Jason Z. states "It's been a roller coaster of emotions throughout the negotiations and signing of this deal due to some line-up changes, but everything is very solid now and we are looking very forward to getting into the studio to begin tracking the new record!!�



CORE is not your average hard rock band. Hailing from South Dakota they are sure to be the next big thing to come out of the Midwest. For fans of Staind, Sevendust and Papa Roach, CORE approach songwriting honestly and are dedicated passionate musicians. This powerhouse quartet provides a tight rhythm section that produces a brutal sound that is balanced by tender yet powerful vocal harmonies reminiscent of Layne Staley. Equal parts heavy riffs and delicate acoustics; CORE's music is emotionally charged and unique. The band has shared the stage with countless national acts such as SHINEDOWN, SEVENDUST, and BUCKCHERRY just to name a few.



CORE has a devoted and solid national following. The band has performed at numerous shows in support of their highly successful sophomore CD "St. Judas Day Parade" released in July 2010. The singles "Dig", "Live Forever", and "You're So Fake" have received major airplay through out the Midwest U.S. on active rock and college radio stations. CORE's debut album "We All Fall Down" earned the band rave reviews from TAXI & cdreview.com, citing the songs "Eisoptrophobia", "Confession", and "Calling John Coffey" as favorites.



Watch for great things to come from CORE in the near future!!!

A Companion Piece to the Film, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," "In Elven Lands-The Fellowship" Released by Oglio Records


A Companion Piece to the Film, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" And Featuring Previously Unreleased Material and Entirely New Performances, Including a Song by J.R.R. Tolkien, "In Elven Lands-The Fellowship"Released by Oglio Records is Available Now



Los Angeles, CA (December 13, 2012)� Oglio Records (http://oglio.com/the-fellowship-in-elven-lands-second-edition) is proud to announce the release of music inspired by the feature film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, IN ELVEN LANDS - The Fellowship (www.inelvenlands.com).



IN ELVEN LANDS � The Fellowship is truly an authentic musical reconstruction, inspired by the Myths and Poetry of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien and performed by THE FELLOWSHIP.



The Fellowship performs on an all-acoustic array of ancient and modern instruments, singing songs in Sindarin, Quenya, Anglo-Saxon and Modern English. The result of their labor is IN ELVEN LANDS -- the fully realized music of an ancient, lost civilization. This digitally re-mastered Second Edition features previously unreleased material and entirely new performances, including a song by J.R.R. Tolkien, plus an entirely new song with lyrics by one of the foremost Tolkien linguists, and a 50-Page digital booklet that gives you a glimpse into the ancient text of the Tir Im Psalter.



First conceived in 1992, IN ELVEN LANDS-The Fellowship applies the techniques of forensic musicology to discover what the music of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Middle-earth" may have sounded like. After years of research, a group of musicians began recording on Boxing Day of 1998, a journey that would take them more than seven years. After two years of recording, the band began referring to its-self as "The Fellowship." The name stuck.



Oglio Records Founder and CEO Carl Caprioglio noted, "Oglio Records has enjoyed a long history with the creative team of Carvin Knowles and Adam Pike. We have produced many projects together but this one is special as it really comes from a true love, affection and respect for J.R.R. Tolkien's work. I am proud and excited to be involved with their latest collaboration. When Carvin approached me with the concept for In Elven Lands, I was only tangentially familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien's work. After listening to the sample tracks I was motivated to learn more. I have since become a big fan of The Lord Of The Rings and I look forward to seeing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in theaters December 14h. I encourage everyone to listen to In Elven Lands and experience the magic for themselves."

Gold-selling Composer Charlie Chan Takes Christmas Down Under With Jazzy New Album "Christmas In Australia - Summer Relaxation"


In Australia, December marks the beginning of summer. So leave it to Aussie composer and Gold-selling recording artist Charlie Chan to take a warm, jazzy approach to yuletide classics on "Christmas In Australia - Summer Relaxation," slated for Dec. 11 worldwide release from Big Black Shiny Piano.



"Everywhere you go at Christmas time you hear the same old songs over and over again. They start to drive you mad," the noted film and television composer says. "I decided to record new versions of these lovely old songs and help everyone calm down and relax over the holiday season."



Chan's long and varied career has touched on ambient soundscapes, tribal folk, jazz improvisation and world music, selling more than 500,000 downloads to date. The multi-instrumentalist is well-known in Australia for a critically acclaimed solo career on the Sony Masterworks label, including 1998's Gold-selling "Wild Swans," a boundary-busting blend of classical and ambient influences. Chan parlayed her success as a recording artist into a 25-year career as a composer: she recently scored the hit Australian TV drama "Killing Time," adding to a long list of credits that includes down-under television staples "McLeod's Daughters" and "Australian Story." Chan has also written for feature films including "Me Myself and I," festivals, stage productions and documentaries.



With "Christmas in Australia - Summer Relaxation," Chan gets back to basics on favorites like "Silent Night," "Jingle Bells" and "The Little Drummer Boy." "When you listen to them, I hope you'll feel a magical festive feeling," Chan says.

Stylist and Award Winning Songwriter Tricia Greenwoods New Album Cuts Straight to the Heart


From the very first moments of "I'm Coming Home" to the last chorus, "Holidays when dreams come true," on this new album, "In the Spirit of Love" makes it clear that this singer-songwriter is a woman on a mission. On both personal and spiritual levels, this artist shows her talent with live studio takes on many of the songs expressing her feelings ignited by the heat of her soulful voice and the passion of her performance.


"Look in the mirror, it's a good hair day" Tricia sings in, "I'm Coming Home" and if you know the way to San Jose you may see her in the front window beautifying her clients by appointment only where she co-owns Park Avenue Salon.


The album's title song and centerpiece "In the Spirit of Love" sums up her journey and victory over life events from childhood to the present loss of love and loved ones. Her lyrics poetically express her deepest feelings. "My two edged sword pierced every lie, made shadows disappear." and "Through the valley of sorrow and pain, my sorrow turned to peace."


"I chose to release this album as Tricia and not Tricia Greenwood to be free of the past and my music helps me to heal my heart and conquer the pain. I have worked very hard to overcome life's tragedies of divorce and betrayal. I have learned how to unlock the fear and loneliness that controlled me throughout my life and I now see myself as a victorious warrior. Enduring the loss of those I love never gets any easier, after my only son Jamie James passed away in 2006, my feelings turned into a numbness that paralyzed me emotionally, he was a wonderful son to me, the 4th song on the album, "I Wish You Were Here" is about him and I sing it to him" says Tricia.


Her two cover songs from her favorite artists since she was a teen, "Let it Be" by the Beatles and "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin echoes with honesty and simplicity. No two ways about it this heartfelt album work with four of the selections featuring a full rock band completes Tricia's ascent from the folk circuit to rock, featuring guitarist Aaron Madsen, written up a few times in guitar player magazine praising his lead guitar riffs and additional guitar tracks, Loren Rendler on drums, Harold Martin on bass guitar, Erik Johnsgard on keyboards and MaryEllen Duell with her sweet harmony vocals on the song, "I'm Coming Home"


"In the Spirit of Love" defines a true artist with an honest journey of life's highs and lows emotionally and spiritually, Tricia shines with her high energy and smooth clear vocals, her remarkable songwriting talent has a mainstream quality that hearts of all ages will relate to from "You're Not Alone" to "You and I" the subtlety of "My Angel" to the conviction of "Need a Change" on the merry-go-round of life, this album will surely find a place in the collections of any music fan.


The album is available through itunes and at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/triciagreenwood3 _Tricia's website: http://www.triciamusic.com

SafeandSound Mastering Goes Massive



SafeandSound mastering has installed a brand new Manley massive passive (hardware version) The massive passive is a hardware equalizer hand built in Chino, California, USA. Built with passion and uncompromising attention to quality and detail. The addition to the mastering studio is bringing extra value to the clientele. In short, it is arguably the best mastering equalizer in the world.



Barry Gardner, chief engineer at the studio, says: "For a year I have searched the equalizer market for the right tool, trying various models, the new equalizer had to fulfill a number of requirements in order to complement the existing equipment. I have a Sontec clone which is pristine and required a second eq of exceptional quality with a tube/valve character. The massive passive has exceeded my expectations both in build and sonic results, this is a unit that can really add value to my clients music. Just passing audio through adds an analogue character which benefits many musical styles, the bass and mid range is exceptional and the eq reduces harshness in a very effective way."



Gardner added that it was important to be able to apply both his long audio engineering experience and the best possible audio tools to his clients music. Being able to offer exceptional value mastering coupled with effective communications is core to his approach to mastering music.



During the last 5 years of operation the mastering studios client base has grown significantly. The studio serves clients from all 5 continents and consistently provides everything a client requires in a professional mastering studio albeit at a price all musicians, producers and record labels can afford.



The mastering studio also provides a no obligation, free preview to all new clients. This is a clear way of demonstrating the results and expanding the existing client base.

The purpose of the site is to provide do it yourself (DIY) artist, musicians and bands with away to hire a virtual teams to help them build and maintain their music business. Musicians buy micro jobs from freelancers who earn $4 for delivery of each service. The services come in a wide range, from online music marketing to web development and programming.



On 11/30/2012 Founder Fred Demming a 25 year veteran of the music industry was quoted as saying "MusicBusinessMarketplace.com is the place where Musicians, Artist and Bands can find the services, tools and support they need in order to take their music careers to the next level".



Fred identified a need for these micro services based on the lack of affordable resources and services that support musicians who are out in the trenches everyday, performing live and releasing albums.



According to music industry studies 57% of musicians are selling less than 50 albums per year.



Based On this report Fred concluded that most artist, musicians and bands are not lacking in talent but are lacking in the area of marketing and promotion.

Shamiah "Love"


Shamiah second single "Love" has convinced me and will convince those who have listened to her first single "Nothing Like This" Ft. P. Washington that she definitely has more than one hit up her sleeves and it being written by Maurice Carmon "Mlyrics", as her first single was,having multiple hits is no surprised. The combination of these two seems to be the ingredients for hit music and success. This is also another great production from The Iron Mavericks. All I can say is sit back, relax, and enjoy this great song by this great artist. Love is definitely a song that you will love.

New Release By Ariana "You're Not Alone" Is Out Now



The time is here for the new release by Ariana "You're Not Alone" on Soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/arianaofficial/youre-not-alone

After taking a few years off, multi-platinum recording artist Ariana is set to release her new single "You're Not Alone" in an unexpected new genre for the soulful Russian American vocalist, whose hits included power ballads "Under the Spanish Sky" and "I'll Do it All Again".

"Taking time off was the best choice I could've made, because now I'm ready to dive head first into my musical passion -- the world of EDM. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm finally ready to share it with my patient and loyal fans all over the world!" says Ariana of her return to music. Her new single "You're Not Alone" is a delectable mix of vocal progressive house and dubstep with a hint of her current influences, Nadia Ali, Medina, and Kaskade. "Typically, in EDM, the focus is on the DJ and the vocals are like a complementary accessory to the song. I'd like to help change that, and bring the focus back to the singer and create a harmonious marriage, if you will, between the two sides. I think it could really be something glorious."

In terms of her plans, Ariana doesn't plan to only focus on her own project. "Because I've been in the music business for so many years, I always saw myself developing and producing talent as well as my own music. This is why I try to surround myself with as much young talent as possible -- because that's where the future of music is at. Jack Wilson, who co-wrote and co-produced my new single is a rising star...you can quote me on that!" Judging by the buzz her new track is creating -- we think so too.

You can follow Ariana's progress on Twitter: @Arianaisback, or her website: www.arianaofficial.com."

Bomber Announces His Debut Single!



SoundCloud Link

With a successful promotional campaign Bomber has been creating the right kind of attention, and literally has exploded. With his own style that consists of infectious pop melody and awesome hip-hop beats. Adrian Sykes at EMI had to comment, “He has success written all over him!” He has been featured on the online publication NewQuod and has started turning heads already. Announced today is Bomber’s debut single Amazing, the track will be released on the 28th October.

Bomber started his journey with the release of ‘On My Way,’ which features the producer on vocals and has brought Bomber a good amount of new fans. The new track Amazing is set to be the song of the dance floors with a catchy beat, a brilliant dance floor smash to chase away the winter blues. The beat was produced by Tyler Smith of Tyler Smith Productions and features a 90s style piano mixed with an upbeat synth.

Bomber has always had a flare for music from such a young age. He grew up in North London with his Jamaican mother and his older siblings. Music was always playing and smooth reggae beats were definitely the catch of the day. At a young age when Bomber aka Kirk Edwards first got into MCing he used to attend MC battles and was even featured on ‘Heat FM.’

Bomber has been signed but the label he was signed to went into liquidation leaving him unsigned, but now he has a new management and a great team behind him to bring his music to the UK’s ears, this has been dubbed his year. Already he has performed with the likes of Chipmunk another British rapper and also completed a University Tour which spread like wild fire. To date though Bomber also managed to bag himself a space at this year’s Surface Festival and scored the most points EVER in their competition.

With his first debut single planned to be released on the 28th October, it’s time to give him the spotlight and watch him shine as Amazing hits the dancefloors…

If so, there is no looking back. This is a must have in your prog-metal music collection!”

Randy Patterson from Boomerocity.com Magazine says: “Dark Symphony is an incredible merging of Goth, Prog, and Metal with some very healthy doses of Symphonic bliss.

NYC Based Singer/Songwriter GANDHI Debuts New Single And Music Video: "Anjali"



GANDHI, the melancholic Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter embraces his family name and works to distinguish it to represent “GANDHI” the artist. Later this month, GANDHI will debut the song and music video for his compelling new single, “Anjali.”

Working closely with his manager and honoring both their interests of sharing personal & meaningful stories through media, it was agreed that the concept of the video was to simply source GANDHI’s personal inspiration behind the song itself; the desire to communicate hope for an intimate and meaningful relationship with a lover. GANDHI wanted to present a concept where “the meaning” of the song/video is relatable to persons of any ethnic background, while at the same time, present it in a way that actually honors his own ethnic personal experience as a first generation American.

Inspired by all the great American and British singer/songwriters from just about every decade, this writer, producer and performer beckons his listeners on a journey to new worlds and alternate possibilities by blending classic Rock & Roll riffs, Folk melodies and Electronica music. On stage, he is surrounded by a rotating all-star cast of New York musicians proficient in just about every instrument. After a decade of penning songs and finding his true songwriting voice, GANDHI is set to unleash his sounds and stories to the world and invites listeners to join in for the ride with the release of “Anjali.”

The song was produced and arranged by William Moses with instrumentation by Vin Scialla. Both the single and its accompanying music video will be released on Sept. 25, 2012 on iTunes and YouTube, respectively, followed with another single release in the winter and an EP in early 2013.

For additional information about GANDHI, please visit his official website at www.gandhisongs.com or www.facebook.com/gandhisongs

New Drinking Experiments Become Music Videos



Today, ALO Drink, a fast-growing aloe vera-based drink brand debuts two full-length music videos following the release of ALOtones, an album created in collaboration with Mikronesia featuring the music inside the drink's original flavors. Agency Magma, ALO's Agency of Record, helped to construct a real-life experiment on two acclaimed New York City Artists Sara Blake (ZSO) and Peter Hamlin (Hambot).

Each one-take, improvisational experiment was captured and edited to create music videos for both ALO's flagship flavor ALO Exposed, which contains the single, New Leaf. The second video, ALO Enrich also features its own track called Optimistic Bloom.

Viewers can watch both videos on YouTube, or download them as podcasts in iTunes.

(Photos: http://alodrink.imgur.com/ )

NYC artists Blake and Hamlin we're filmed in New York by LA-based director, PhillyK. A bright, clean, custom-designed laboratory was created for an optimal sensory experience. Each artist was given: a blank canvas, ALO Drink, and 360-degree surround-sound and just two hours to create art that's live and inspired by their ALO Drink flavor.

"You have pulsating guitar chords, washes of electronic sound to simulate the waves, the piano melody and joyous vocal singing, which I hope conveys my feelings experiencing "Exposed", said ALOtones musician/composer, Mikronesia about the track "New Leaf”which he created for ALO's Exposed flavor (Aloe Vera + Honey).

"The agency helped to craft a new drinking experience, which now includes Aloe Vera + Positive Ingredients + Music inside every bottle. Together, these ingredients deliver on the brand's promise of Goodness From Inside Out, said Michael Ferrare, Creative Director, Agency Magma.

"The concept of the experiment drove and simplified the creative process from start-to-shoot. Sip. Listen. Create. Capture." ALO Drink, the agency and the crew had no idea what the artists we're going to end up with at the end of the day. What happens when artists undergo 360-degree refreshment? "As it turns out, they (thankfully) create work that's beautifully derived from the drink's flavor and art that's reflective of the overall ALO Drink experience.", said Ferrare.

Since late March, there's been thousands of ALOtones music tracks accessed each month by ALO Drink customers and their friends on social media. "We're very excited about this new concept (ALOtones) and hope our consumers will be too.", said Henry Chen, President, ALO Drink. Consumers can access an ALOtone by scanning a custom QR-Code printed on every bottle. After, they can listen, download, or share their flavor's track on Facebook and Twitter.

Millennium, Pop's Newest Group, Releases 1st Single 'Beach Anthem' Featuring Platinum Artist Baby Bash


Millennium, one of the newest and most edgy groups to hit the pop music scene, announced the release of their first single 'Beach Anthem' today. It's a suitable title given that the song transports you to a world of sun, surf and sand with its infectious pop melody and cool reggae groove. An added bonus to this feel-good first single is that it features platinum artist Baby Bash, whose distinctive voice has become synonymous with girls, good times and nonstop fun!

Initially this talented group from Los Angeles had a tough time choosing their debut single from their portfolio of songs which blend catchy hooks, acoustic instrumentation and hip-hop flavor. But with an extended summer season of triple-digit heat and the beach on everyone's mind, 'Beach Anthem' seemed to be the natural choice. According to Sapphire, one of the singers for Millennium, "Beach Anthem is a tribute to beachgoers all around the world, whether on Venice Beach or the coast of Nice!"

Millennium consists of Stryker, composer, producer and singer for the group, K-King, Sapphire and Adonis- a colorful group of characters on the road to success, beginning with their new single 'Beach Anthem'. The song will soon hit airwaves across the nation and a regional tour is also in the works. Within a few short months, don't be surprised if Beach Anthem becomes the chorus sung over barbeque and bonfire pits across the globe.

'Beach Anthem' is now available on iTunes and other major retailers. Download it today and keep the summer vibe going!

David Longoria's Instrumental Zoon Baloomba Enters Billboard Chart At #50, Is Chart's First Trumpet Hit Since 1979



David Longoria [davidlongoria.com], known for his innovative blend of Latin, Jazz and Dance music has achieved National Hit status with his new single Zoon Baloomba as it enters the Billboard Dance Music Charts October 6, 2012 at #50 with a bullet. This marks the first time a trumpet player has achieved success on this chart with an instrumental since Herb Alpert did it with Rise in 1979. Rise went on to reach #17 on that chart and reached #1 on the US Billboard Pop Chart in the following months. Part of the success of Rise was attributed to it being featured in the hit TV daytime TV soap General Hospital.

Longoria reached #14 on this chart in 2006 with his single Deeper Love (featuring singer Cece Peniston) but Longoria and Peniston sang together along with his trumpet work to create that hit. Zoon Baloomba is an instrumental song featuring Longoria's trademark trumpet embellished by some brief tribal vocals announcing the song's title.

The single Zoon Baloomba has been presented in several remixed versions including Club mixes from popular remixers Ralphi Rosario, Majik Boys, Mickey Oliver, Gustavo Scorpio, and Mental Blue. It debuts on the chart right behind K-Pop Dance mega Hit "Gangnam Style" by Korean singer PSY at #49.

The tracks are now available on iTunes, Amazon and other music sales outlets. It is currently playing in clubs across America with a much anticipated official music video scheduled for release in October. The unofficial music videos are posted on YouTube (youtube.com/davidlongoria) and have already gathered about a million combined views to date.

Longoria is known in Jazz and Latin Jazz circles as an exceptional musician, often considered one of the most exciting trumpeters of this generation. His unafraid attitude in creating cutting edge works has earned him many awards including the Hollywood Music Awards Best Instrumental Artist Award, the ASYM (America Society Of Young Musicians) All That Jazz Award 2011 and the American Jazz Society's Top Contemporary Artist 2012 Award.

"I always admired Miles Davis for going out on a limb to push the envelope of modern music", Longoria says, adding "and Herb Alpert always knew how to make trumpet music cool and accessible to the public, not just to jazz fans."

And that's what is happening again now with Zoon Baloomba as it climbs the Billboard Dance chart. Thousands of clubs across America are featuring the song and Longoria's innovative approach to the trumpet and current music in the age of the electronic. "I love to blend my sound with organic and electronic elements to create something unique," Longoria explains, adding "and it's a great feeling to know so many people are enjoying and dancing to my music right now!"

New Solo Recording Artist Jey Gibbs Wants To "Touch Yo Body" With Debut Single Release



When Jey Gibbs stepped foot on the stage of the legendary "Showtime at the Apollo," and opened his mouth, he was only 13, but he knew destiny was calling out to him. Singing since the age of four, the young artist was blessed with a gift that made the adults around him take note. So much so that even as a child he assisted his mom when she gave vocal lessons to the choir at his home church.

Today, the 24-year is cementing his talent with his debut independent single and video release of "Touch Yo Body." If "Showtime at the Apollo" was still taking auditions, its doubtful he would be boo'ed from the stage! Gibbs has a voice and style that naturally causes women to sway and swoon. With a dash of hip hop bravado; coupled with smooth R&B fever, Gibb's vocal approach is seasoned with special flavor. He gracefully exudes a lustful timbre, tempered with a vintage charm, that he calls "Da E-ffect." A gifted songwriter as well, with "Touch Yo Body," Gibbs seduces the ear while he cradles the heart with lyrics that unwind any semblance of resistance. Gibb's B-side release, "Shoulda Coulda Woulda," which he also composed, continues the lyrical seduction with an up tempo beat that bangs steady.

"I am happy to be able to finally throw my hat in the ring," reveals Gibbs. "It's taken a lot of hard word and sacrifice to bring my music to the table and I could not have done it alone. I am extremely grateful to the team I have around me. With these two songs, I'm singing to the women and I think with one listen, they will get the message loud and clear. I am an artist who is here for them." A Charleston, SC native, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY, Gibbs is a recent graduate of Long Island University with a bachelors in Media Arts. He hosts his own campus radio show, "Business with Jay."

Both "Touch Yo Body" and "Shoulda Coulda Woulda" were mixed and recorded at Harlem's popular Stadium Red Studios. When not singing and recording, Gibbs supplements his craft by working at La Guardia Airport as a Transportation Security Officer. But by the sound of his first solo offerings, that won't be for long.

Groove with Jey Gibbs at www.JeyGibbs.com and let him "Touch Yo Body" at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/touch-yo-body-single/id560191181. View the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dja84796lfM&feature=plcp.
