Born and raised in Seattle, I moved to Costa Rica many years ago, seeking a new way of life. A poet by nature, I hadn't considered writing music until a friend asked me to try singing an original song for him. I suggested edits to his song, and realised that I very much enjoyed adding/changing melodies to existing songs, and decided to try to write original music on my own. I was introduced to a talented producer who could take my humming and verbal description of how I wanted the song to go, and he was able to put it into digital format so others could hear what I heard in my head. I now have a home studio and am able to assist my producer more so he can literally hear what I'm thinking. The music just comes to me, starting with a small melody, usually starting with the chorus, and a couple of words, or string or words, then I create the rest of the song based upon that. I absolutely love creating new music and being able to share it with others, so they can hear what I hear. It's a magical process that fills my soul with bliss :)

Growing up in Dearborn Heights, Michigan it was at a early age music and the guitar became a part in my life. I Picked up the guitar at the age of 11 and started to teach myself to play. I have enjoyed all types of music especially listening to the Beatles and many other artists of the day but I was really drawn to the feel of blues music and guitar players such as B.B King, Eric Clapton and Rory Gallagher just to name a few. I soon found myself playing in neighborhood garages with my friends. Rocking out songs such as Brown Sugar, Can’t explain and Taking care of business. This band of friends went on to play local school dances and local festivals. I also enjoyed writing and creating my own songs at a early age which found me in several original music projects through the years. More recently I played in the cover band Scratch which played the local clubs. Then I went on to form with good friends the original band Where’s Keith which to date have recorded 2 albums of original music in the vein of pop rock. But I have always appreciated the emotion of the blues. I love this style of music because it allows you to express yourself with feel that is distinctly you. Allows you to reach inside and share it with the audience. I truly feel at home when playing the blues. Joining Allen (Woody Mac) on this recording was the rhythm section of Timmy Sears on drums and Jeff Dork on bass guitar. We are all excited to share these songs with you and we hope you will enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed crafting them.

Forged from the hardest Jura rock, their music surges like wild torrents from the speakers. Smokeheads is an atypical group, caressing raw metal before hammering it out on the anvil. SMOKEHEADS has perfected an Alternative Metal which is both enjoyable and original. The group consists of Philippe on drums, Alain on bass, David C. on guitar and David Z. vocals and guitar. Each one has his own stage and musical past, trying out moods along the way and accumulating ever more fruitful experiences that have brought them closer to their artistic voice.
Together they have forged a new, melodic and powerful alloy. Don’t try to find their formula. This type of alchemy mixes so many influences (Toto, Gojira, Queen of the Stone Age, Mastodon, System of a Down, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Devin Townsend and many more), that there is no need to explain further. Just listen. Listening to songs wrapped around a mesmerizing rhythm, picked up along the way by the hoarse and staccato breath of the guitars, the scene is set for the rich, deep-toned voice of the singer. Smokeheads’ music has a simplicity and truth which compels the ear, rising through the ages yet wonderfully contemporary.

mLau is an independent electronic duo inspired by alternative folk, post rock, trip hop sounds. With no creative limits, and without trying to please the commercial market, focusing instead on pure artistic expression without filters, rules or confines, mLau is a musical journey by Massimo Marraccini and Maria Laura Ronzoni, longtime friends who although living in different cities felt the need to compose music together while at a distance. One year after the publication of the first two singles No One Around and A Queen With No Head, accompanied by their respective video clips in graphic animation that have received approval from national and international newspapers and radios, mLau has produced a first EP entitled locked in, available on all digital stores. Five pieces proposed, of which four originals plus a tribute to one of the great masters of the musical-literary tradition of our times who most influenced the writing of mLau's lyrics: Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, elegant, minimal and highly personal electro-folk interpretation of one of Bob Dylan's poetic masterpieces. The voice, lyrics and melodies of Maria Laura Ronzoni, teaming up with Massimo Marraccini's rhythmic and harmonic textures, tell of a sound, compositional, musical and literary research of undoubted artistic and cultural value, an attempt to find in beauty a creative response to the profound sense of restlessness, frustration and claustrophobic isolation, a way out of the tangle of an existential condition that sees us human beings, fragile and astonished witnesses of a surreal reality in which we find ourselves alone but inexorably linked to each other and locked up, precisely locked in. They have recently been working on a new video of the song Blue Boy - Babylon Girl available now. The duo is also planning a performance that aims to be an audio-visual experience rather than a concert. A sort of immersive soundscape with the musicians accompanied by avant-garde visual content. A multimedia live exhibition combined with different forms of contemporary art.

She credits music for soothing her soul and giving her the strength and determination to push through, even during the most difficult times.

The initial seed of the oohz was sewn about 3.8 billion to 3.55 billion years ago.

Joe Peacock is a singer-songwriter from Birmingham. This year he released his first ever album as a solo artist and is following that up with more EPs. Joe writes songs that tell the stories he finds interesting. Sometimes he writes autobiographical lyrics, but is also fascinated in the lives of other people, so has written about writers, explorers, hermits and even animals. Although he lives in Birmingham now, Joe grew up in a remote house in Herefordshire, a mile from the nearest village. Despite or maybe due to this rather solitary existence, he grew passionate about music at school and started playing in bands aged 15, when he was a drummer. Joe switched to playing guitar and singing when he was 21. Although Joe was always a prolific songwriter and poet, the past year has been his most prolific year ever. He has written well over 50 songs as he sought an artistic escape from lockdown life. All the songs he's released so far were recorded at home with Joe playing all the instruments and singing all the parts, although for his upcoming EP Is not everything morbid?, he enlisted the help of producer and musician Joe Adhemar.
