Describe your vocal & songwriting style to your potential new fan base.. Before debuting as an artist, I’ve been a songwriter. I wrote my first song in 2009 & have just shy of a hundred songs registered in my name since then. I value a good story. That’s what haunts me in a song. The

His preceding
New York City’s fusion jam band trio The Dream Logic has several prior releases under their belt but their latest single “I’ll Be Right Back” may be their finest effort yet. It’s an entertainingly accessible performance despite the clear musical skill on display – Charles Compo, Camille Gainer, and Jerry Brooks are each respective virtuosos on their respective
Jamaican born singer/songwriter Robert Minott’s new single “You Are” wastes no time getting under your skin.
