Cheyenne Lee, a singer/songwriter hailing from Oregon, is about to make her mark on the city of Angels. With a voice like Colbie Calliat and lyrics that speak to everyday human emotion, this beautiful and talented eighteen-year-old is headed for radio stardom. Cheyenne says, “My music is about the good things in life.” Not only does she write her own contagious lyrics, play the guitar, keyboard and piano, but she has a dedication and passion that comes alive within her songs. Commenting on her sound, Cheyenne remarks, “It gives people somewhere to escape to when things aren’t going so well, it not only tells my stories, but the stories of so many others, and in that I find my music very unique…I want people to be uplifted, and I will continue to create music that does so.” Keep your radios turned on for this rising star on the LA scene.

Corey Butler
Corey Butler, a Costa Rican Gem
A Costa Rican Gem! This talented artist can cover, remix and add flare to any song requested. Not only can Corey Butler cover songs, but his original tracks are splendid. He brings in a smooth vibrato with careful attention to dynamics as he plays. He blends his vocals nicely with the guitarist’s virtuoso touch. This singer-songwriter has a knack ending one song with the same chord as the upcoming song to eliminate those awkward silences between songs. He is fluent in Spanish & English and is not afraid to sing in either one.

We Like Monsters
We Like Monsters: Denver, Colorado.
I was lucky to have the opportunity to see We Like Monsters live at Moe’s BBQ in Denver during the Underground Music Showcase, a festival. These fellas are an indie band with a real unique sound & feel. The lead singer, Tim, is a standout band orchestrator with a a drum stick sticking out of his back pocket as he sings. Previously, Tim was in a band called GreenField where he sang, said Adam, the former bassist in greenfield. When he is not singing, he either plays the keyboard or triggers samples and sounds with his midi pad, as the rest of the band takes center stage. The other band members pick up the slack with their superb musicality and feel. The bassist, has a rocker’s stance, and beanie to match it. The lead keyboardist has a double stack, or two keyboards on top of each other, each with their own customized synth sounds to enable versatile timbres for melodies. If you like the music, don’t miss an opportunity to see We Like Monsters in a personable venue (before they become well known)! Have a listen and be sure to listen to the music video: “Le Tigre” (see below)

Wanderlust Wednesday – Ananda Yogiji & Jaya Lakshmi
Jaya Lakshmi
Energized and enlivened by the beauty of Indian singing and instrumental uniqueness, Jaya began leading kirtan, call and response mantras accompanied by instruments such as the harmonium, tablas, the two-headed mrdanga, or in Jaya’s case, the 12-string guitar. She began writing her own devotional songs in the 1990′s on the Hawaiian islands. Her name was bestowed upon receiving harinam initiation from a great Vaisnava saint from India. It translates to “victory to the goddess Lakshmi”, the Hindu goddess of fortune and spiritual wealth. Since then, Jaya has created 4 solo albums on Sequoia Records.
Ananda Yogiji
Gentle acoustics coupled with peaceful vocals, Ananda Yogiji is a talented musician and composer. Not only is his music fed by mantras and a deep devotional spirit, but also his practice of yoga and meditation (primarily Kundalini) for over five years. He is a singer, a guitarist, a teacher, harmonium and Bansuri flute player, and a open and kind soul. Since partnering with Jaya Lakshmi, he has performed with artists like Jai Uttal, Shimshai, David Newman and Dave Stringer.
Since the two came together in November 2010, their collaboration has resulted in an incredible musical fusion, sacred and beautiful. Their album, Live at the Altar of Love’ was a product of their Altar of Love Immersions which involve teaching yoga together, performing music and holding ceremony.

The Nature Stage –
See above photo
A mystery set in the woods at nature stage, by Ekim. With the backdrop of an incredible Oregonian rainforest scene (see above Picture). Ekim could throw it down to amuse and confuse the crowd simultaneously. Ekim also knew how to change it up, and he would do so at will, not according to the set list but by what people were getting down to. With heavy wobbles and Super-Sound speakers taller than the average taller person. The variety of sound was great and the noise selection was very thought-out and carefully placed in space.
His style was new to me but I almost instantly became a fan and had to dance. Please contact us on facebook or twitter or e-mail us if you can help us find Ekim’s Music, e-mail, or profile Anywhere, can someone help us!? Ekim from Human Nature, hello? Where are you on the internet, come find us!

Wanderlust Wednesday Presents Sebastian Blake
Ladies…this one is for you. Sebastian Blake is a 22-year old singer/songwriter from the UK. His smooth vocals, reminiscent of Michael Jackson and Prince, are beautifully matched with his acoustic sound. Creating his niche in the London music scene playing on beaches and in local bars, this artist is exemplifies the passion and dedication it takes to make it. Sebastian harbors this breathtaking talent that is apparent in both his recordings and music videos. He calls his musical style, “an acoustical injection of rhythm and blues, soul, pop music.” Captivating and refreshingly distinctive, Sebastian is a true artist worth keeping a ear out for.
His much anticipated debut EP, “Milk’s a Luxury” will be released this summer.

Wanderlust Wednesday Presents – Corvos
Corvos: from Lisbon, Portugal
Taking classical string instruments and beautifully transforming them in the name of rock music, Corvos is molding a unique yet familiar sound. It is a sound that embodies the boldness of an orquestra and the energy and passion of rock and roll. The band’s influences include genre defining musicians such as The Doors, Nirvana, and the Kronos Quartet. Two cover albums and three original, the dedication and incredible musicianship is apparent with their complex arrangements. Members include Luis Santos on the viola, Cláudio Nunes on cello, Pedro Teixeira da Silva on the 1st violin, Tiago Flores on 2nd violin, and Pedro Silva on the drums. Their sound is moving and unmatched, deep and soulful. I highly recommend listening to “Do you really love me”. It is hauntingly romantic and tells a mesmerizing story that impossible not to close your eyes and follow.

Manolis Moumouzias
Manolis Moumouzias: from Greece
This artist takes the one man band approach, creating layers and harmonies with himself in his home studio.
His talent is clear though collaboration often elvates a sound where one man falls short. That said, this music by Manolis Moumouzias is impressive and has the potential to captivate an audience. With dedication to the creative process, Manolis creates his unique interpretation of sound with the motto “just because a part was recorded, doesn’t mean it needs to be in the mix”.. His cover, Stuck like glue, is his most popular video on youtube.
