Babe Shadow - awesome band lead singer amaze!!

Babe Shadow is their name and I remember going to see them at a dingy little club in East London on their second ever gig a while ago. I found them on myspace and fell in love with their songs, the simplicity, lyrically, melodically, musically just everything and the lead singers voice is utterly 'Stunning' its only right that i start by showing you some of his work as he writes all their material. He has great stage presence and when performing the slow down tempo songs, even better. His name is TOM CAWTE and for me what drew me to 'Babe Shadow' in the first place was that they had classic music material. I feel in this industry at the moment a lot of new bands are Style over substance and Babe Shadow are not that. I love what they are doing and see honestly see them doing live gigs on a global scale and being Big.

You have to check out this song called THE PIANO SONG. Its simple and classic, I think the industry needs another classic song that resembles John Lennon 'Imagine' this has a similar vibe, listen to the chords, lyrics its just magic and this is just in the rough stages. Its Magic.

Let me Introduce you to NOISYFRED a new 19 year old producer who is a massive talent!!

Right ok i know my last few blog entries been all music based, mainly consisting of producers new artists etc.. so for those of you who read this not into music or in the 'Industry' then please read anyway as all these talents are very exiting to me....

This is a young producer from Up North who i called FREDSTERR.. i was lucky to meet him at a management company i used to work for, where another artist there brought him into camp. In the short while i knew Fred, it was a complete blessing!! all i can say he is going to go very very far, reminds me of a young Ryan Tedder..

Just to break it down, Fred started his own business when 16 from his bedroom in the Midlands he was at school/college whilst working since the age of 14 to save up enough pennies to fund his music career. He built a studio himself in his bedroom and by the time he was 16 had his business, booking in clients to work with him and also involved in several other music projects such as a new Indie/Pop band.
So to cut a long story short, 4 years later he is now living up in London and has songs with Bluey Robinson, Hygrade, Tre Jean Marie amongst other up and coming stars. He also is a session musician and is often seen playing for other artists on the London gig circuit.
Most recently he has worked on a super cool project for the BBC where he was part of producing and writing the songs with Arts19 Music. Its for a new special musical film to air on BBC 2 in Jan follows the lives of singers/actors etc.. almost like a UK Glee but less cheesy and just a one of film.
Also working with a great new rapper called RUBY RAYNE where they both have started a label together. Please see below

Fred is one of them diverse producers that can produce anything but pop/indie being his forte.

NOISY FRED is the next new producer to come up in the game in the UK trust me.. he sleeps, eats and is in his studio 24/7 in fact I'm not sure he even gets to sleep much lol..

But it will all be worth it for him, he is going to be BIG!! he is a great producer and a even more gifted songwriter with the ability to write really strong catchy hooks!! when i worked with him, i used to walk around singing his songs all the damm time even on the bus home.

He is a fab person as well who is very sincere, decant hardworking and down to earth and I know he will stay that way. His passion for what he does its like some one who is always exited and on a hype, smily happy all the time..

Keep up the good work FREDSTERR and everyone PLEASE CHECK HIM OUT..

Over and out x

New Girl Group - 'Sound Girl' young, fresh and love their sound

A friend of mine who works for Mercury there label introduced me to these girls a little while ago. There debut song/video went up online a little while ago and have to say am liking their over all sound, look, vocals and just their whole vibe. They are young as well, i think 15, 16 and 17 which is great as they could be around for a long time. I feel the UK needs a new non cheesy girl group that are extremely current and think these girls are just that!! Their A&R is the same as Pixie Lott who i personally respect his work, and they are currently supporting her on tour.
Please check out their video below

Chad Beatz - Multi Platinum Producer from the states

Chad Beatz is a multi platinum producer from the states Miami to be exact. I had the pleasure of meeting him about 2 years ago now, where we worked together @Upper11 Records where he was brought over to produce for a rapper called Kaliba also from Miami. From the moment I met Chad we clicked instantly and was on the same page musically and creatively he was also a year older than me so similar with age.

Just so you know CHAD BEATZ for those of you that don't know is Musical Beast his production is just too good!! Like seriously good!! I have been blessed to be in the studio with him on many occasions and he just on FIRE every time.. and in true USA style is full of energy, he gets the best out of every artists, comes up with lyrics easily he a concept writer and digs into every song like he living it right in that moment. He plays every instrument, raps, sings and is just a whole heap of talent. If you don't know about him i would suggest you need to right now... Oh and he also used to be part of GUnit camp and work with Ryan Leslie back in the day.

Here is his motto/mission statement and its true,

Chad Dexter p.k.a. "Chad Beatz"
Creatively Handling Any Dilemma

Lego The Future - 18 year old rapper from NYC Dope!!

Ok so found this dope rapper on youtube about a year and half ago just free styling in a school in NYC his home town, since then i stalked him for a while (you gotta be persistent in this game) to find out more. He didn't even have a myspace or anything. He was all fresh and new. So anyway to cut a long story since, i have been fully excuse the slang but 'REPPING HIM HARD' lol!! In other words i fully belief in him as a artist and trying to help him get to where he wants to be. He can be the next new rapper that is by far credible to come from the states.
So when the 'Industry' asks you 'Jem what's his USP which is Unique Selling Point?' well here goes he has many and more to come -

1. He is just about to turn 19 still young so massive room for development and growth
2. He produces all his own material
3. He graphic designs and does all his own web design himself
4. He studies law in the city = very intelligent
5. His Dad is a local hip-hop producer and now they own a studio together in Staten Island NYC
6. He sings as well and writes all his own lyrics
7. His flow is just unique
8. He sounds a little like Asher Roth/Fabulous/Lupe/Drake - these all highly respected Rappers
9. His lyrics are just too good, coming with punch lines quick, using metaphors and subtextual lyrics well. His lyrics are emotional yet relatable
10. He is super cute and has a massive fan base of girls. Oh yeah and comes from the Puerto Rican surburbs of Brooklyn, NYC.

Anyway enough said check out one of his recant tracks called HOME ALONE where it features 2 of his good friends, part of his BNS crew he set up. I will be posting more tracks on this blog, one of which produced by Apple Juice Kid coming soon...

Also check out added extra track titled 'MY GLOW' on this one you can really here his punch lines and flow.

Cold Play - Fix You

Ok so whilst out on a walk before in the snowy fields of Hampshire (The Jane Austin County), near where i live. Well actually at the end of Fuzzy Drove which is a wooded long path that leads to the fields next to my house in a nice little cul-de-sac its all very cute.

I took a long walk I was feeling rather 'Free' in the fields by myself, few other walkers and their dogs which i am scared of lol. I took a moment to reflect on life and things around me, and for a moment I felt like I was in a music video or living in a winter dream. This song came into my head and its just pure amazing!! Chris Martins voice, the meaningful lyrics, the build up to the hook, its just perfect.. its 'Emotional Music' and i had to blog it. I know i know is prob rather depressing given the circumstances of the weather, getting dark very early, being skint this close to xmas blah blah blah.. but on the positive the song is just BEAUTIFUL!!
Oh yeh at the bottom you will see the fields near where i live and also my deformed snowman i attempted to build all my myself in my garden, lol!!
