I asked Ashelyn what inspires her. She replied, “I am classically trained vocally, and much of my songwriting is inspired by composers such as Nobuo Uematsu and Sergei Rachmaninov. I like to incorporate classical techniques into my songs, and I seek to always use real instruments, as a digital counterpart can never fully recreate the nuanced timbre of a live cello, piano, etc. I believe there is great beauty in the complexity of classical compositions, and I hope to one day be able to emulate them more completely.” Well said! *Ashelyn, you are going somewhere! Where ever your music travels, take the us with you. Stay Tuned!*

Stephan Meulen from the United Kingdom

Stefan Meulen has been in the music industry for years floating around genres and bands. Today Stefan is into the dub-electro scene with hints of house, and dance.   “My move into dub and breaks came after a long time performing with bands in different genres when I decided to write some solo material. I have been dj-ing dub for years now and have always loved the dub and ska sounds which have had such an influence in the british music scene since my childhood in the 70’s and 80’s so it seemed a natural progression to start producing dub myself”.

StefM (as he goes by on on Soundcloud) makes his music in his  “home studio near the sea in Yorkshire. Mainly my music is
 created on my PC and laptop using software but I try to fit some of my instruments in where I can, especially the more unusual ones such as the Dan Moi and Didgeridoo”.  Stefan’s ability to play acoustic instruments sets him apart from many DJ’s who only ‘play the computer’.  I asked stephan what age he started playing music at… “I am currently 37 but I performed my first gig as a rhythm guitarist in a heavy metal band at the age of 16 and I have drifted in and out of the music scene ever since.  I have been in a folk/punk band, played guitar and sung at acoustic nights and open mic slots, performed as a didgeridoo player and Dj’d Dub and Psy Trance at raves and free-parties”.

Without doubt, StefM has the sound that will move crowds.  I would like to get to see him play here in the USA someday soon.

Rope-A-Dope:  A new Album by Young Hamm!

Young Hamm, previously featured as the Hammer in Champion, drops a new solo album, Rope-A-Dope! Why? Because Hamm Can!  Young Hamm is improving by the track and perfecting his flow. No one hit wonder, Young Hamm is here to stay. Hammer and Champion reunite on a couple of great tracks, my favorite, #4, “the One”, on the album Rope-A-Dope though in the spotlight tonight, is Young Hamm. This Artist is not done learning, attending college, and is pursuing a Mass Media Arts major. Young Hamm is quickly making jumps towards the big stage.  Together, Hammer and Champion from Denver, Colorado know how to hype up the crowd, and lyrically throw down to match the hype. Hammer & Champion have proven to be rising stars in the hip-hop industry, which will hopefully shine light on the Colorado music scene. Also check out the songs “Feel Me”, “Funny People”, and “Survival”.

You Discovered Canasta Hear @FreioMusic

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3GXNBYIAQY%5D

Canasta, from Chicago, Illinois,  could be he next big pop band out if Chi town!  Their music is moving, and the band is tightly knit together.  It is not as if we are the first to notice this talent, Best of Chicago 2010… loaded with intricate yet accessible orchestral pop music— Huffington Post.  I asked Elizabeth (vocals/violin/percussion) about the
direction of the band and what they strive for, and her articulate reply is as follows… “Living amongst the immense musical talent in a city like Chicago is eternally inspiring. But standing apart from the crowd can be a never-ending challenge. So Canasta came together in early 2002 when six friends joined forces and augmented the standard rock set‐up with piano, violin, keyboard and trombone, in an effort to craft a more ambitious strain of majestic, ultra‐melodic, orchestral pop”.    The band is composed of 6 friends:

Band Members:Photos by Sarah Hadley 40www.sarahhadley.com41

Jeremy Beckford – guitar / vocals
Sarah Kneebone – piano / keyboard / vocals
Elizabeth Lindau – vocals / violin / percussion
Brian Palmieri – drums
Matt Priest – vocals / bass / trombone / percussion
Ryan Tracy – keyboard / piano / bass / vocals

Every member brings their talents and enthusiasm to create a well-rounded, very talented up and coming band.  “Maybe it’s my ability to pester people to help get stuff done. I’m good and networking when I have time to network. I also do a lot of band administration” Says Elizabeth.  The band is connected to all the right places, and in turn, has a strong and growing network of fans across the globe.   I would not be surprised to see Canasta playing at festivals around America within a year, Look Out Sasquatch!  Stay close to the band by following them on Twitter.
