Anastasija - My World #Flyah


ANASTASIJA – the full name is Anastasija Ozueh, for everyone in casual life just Nastia. 
D.O.B.  – 1986.06.27

I was born in Lithuania, Vilnius (Eastern Europe). I started to sing in kindergarten, and right after that I went to music school to learn how to play piano (7 years). Then I took some private vocal lessons but it didn’t work well for me because my vocals sounded too ordinary. One day I met a vocal coach who changed my life forever… It was 2 years of hard vocal training and developing, working and improving my vocals. Up until now, there was always something to learn. My stubbornness didn’t allow me to give up. After that training I took part in and won many international singing contests in 3 different countries. I sang in many languages: English, Lithuanian, Russian, French, Hebrew, Spanish, Portuguese and etc. In 2008 I became a part of a band called AJ Project (which was renamed to AJ Elements) with my college mate Jurgis Mikalauskas. We wrote 9 songs together and a few of them had some success. All of those songs had to be in an album “First Pancake’’ which was never released. Then Jurgis immigrated to the UK and the band fell apart. In 2011 I immigrated abroad myself and it took me a long way to move to my dream country Belgium. Ever since, I have tried to take part in TV shows such as The Voice, X-Factor etc in Belgium but mostly in the UK, but it never worked. I was rejected always everywhere. I was thinking of giving up. But it didn’t break me because after a 6 year break (without any songwriting), I decided to come back and try again! I have tried every single path to achieve my dream! Nothing ever worked out for me no matter what I did, and I decided that instead of giving up and making covers I will write songs for myself and will come out with my own album. I will try to advertise it on the network myself as much as I can. Singing is the most important thing to me! I have only very few friends and I have no family, so music is the engine of my life. I literally live for music; I live to sing and create. Without that there is no other purpose to me. So I am ready to share with you every piece of my art… The funniest thing is that I listen to totally different type of music than I sing. I am totally into club music, DJ mixes, House music and even Trance at some point and etc. I can sing any style however I have a very narrow taste which brings me to the same thing every time. 
And so to stand out in front of other composers I decided to start mixing music styles in one song, to sound different, and I pay a lot of attention to my melodies and lyrics. In the past, I have written some songs which are not really related to my life but now I write songs which either tell a real story from my life, or a song that shouldn’t be understood literally yet there is a hidden meaning that relates to my life. I wanna change the world with my songs. 
I am very grateful for life, since I met Kristen and Calvin on one of the music websites. These 2 awesome people just are incredible! Both of them are so talented and I will never forget that they believed in me and my idea when no one else did! They accepted to take part in this project and I will always be grateful!!! Kristen became a good friend to me and she doesn’t just play piano, she creates all the main piano tracks for my songs, and she also helps me with lyrics! I am very proud of everything we have done together and so her music can be heard too! Calvin is the best guitarist in the World. We secretly gave him a nickname: “A God with the Guitar”.  We will make it together!

Shades of Brazil - Here Come's the Sun


A Canadian electronic/rock singer, a Canadian drummer, and an American Jazz legend singing some Bossa Novas from Los Angeles to Ottawa over Skype? Lets start at the beginning...

This project began as a small dream between friends Emily Florence, Allyson Rogers and Jelsa Palao. 

Canadian singer/songwriter Emily Florence (of Los Angeles based Big Black Bugs) and Canadian musician Allyson Rogers had been childhood friends and had recently reconnected over possibly playing together on a project. At the same time, Los Angeles based grammy nominated singer and songwriter Jelsa Palao and Emily Florence had been discussing how wonderful it would be to sing together. Florence played Palao's "For the Love of Carmen" album for Rogers, and the path was set!

All three artists connected on several Skype calls to figure out how they were going to work together, and discovered that they all shared a deep passion for the Brazilian Bossa Nova & Samba, and "Shades of Brazil' was born. Palao and Florence would trade off tunes and perform a few duets, and Palao would also produce the album.

It was decided that Florence would fly from Los Angeles up to Ottawa to record the bed tracks with Rogers and her musician friends Karen Rauh on Keys, Adrian Matte on Sax, and Dave Schroeder on bass, at Morning Anthem Studios. Palao attended the sessions from LA via Skype, and sang her live guide vocal over some of the tracks.

Florence then brought the bed tracks back to Los Angeles, where award winning engineer and musician Robert Martin recorded Palao and Florence's vocals. Martin himself also played on many of the tracks as the album evolved, along with artists such as Octavio Bailly (of Brazil 66), Frank Potenza, David Moscoe, and Rogers, who'd flown down to LA to add a few additional songs.

It has been as unusual as it has been joyful to explore these beautiful classic songs and bring to you our impossible, across borders interpretations of them.


Deyvon Songwriter - Game Over #Flyah


Independent songwriter and recording artist, Deyvon aka Deyvon Songwriter was born as Derek Rawlings Jr. in Bronx, New York. Raised by a single mother, with the help of his grandmother, he quickly developed an appreciation for music that has carried him from what could have been a bleak future on the streets into a promising career.
Falling in love with hip hop by the age of ten, Deyvon was influenced by such megastars as Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, Ice Cube and DMX. It was this passion that drove him to take his passion to the next level. At the age of thirteen, he wrote his first rhyme, but it wasn’t until the year 2013 that he went into a studio to record his first official track.
His journey from that first attempt at writing and an actual recording wasn’t without incident. He is forthright about the effects of growing up without a father in a tough neighborhood. Falling in with the wrong sorts, he found himself hustling at the age of fifteen, selling marijuana bags in his high school and on the streets. There is no doubt that his love of music and a desire to do something more preserved a talent that might have been otherwise wasted.
That seems like a long time ago now to the up and coming artist. With tracks like Freaking You and Game Over, he is making a name for himself in the business he has grown to love even more as the years have passed.

TonAsh is So Fresh #Flyah


Charismatic, honest and unassuming, TonAsh is the king of popular Hip Hop music in The Bahamas. Less than two years since seriously pursuing music as a career, he’s made it very clear that the throne is his.  Born Ashton Newbold, TonAsh, exudes a confidence on and off stage that comes from knowledge of self.  While he admits freely that his style is influenced by Fabolous that’s where the similarities end. 
TonAsh’s music is carefully written with uncommon comparisons and a lyrical style reminiscent of the underground Hip Hop stages but with a commercial appeal. 
Each release is a speech from the throne through which he paints a picture of the most ideal life, an attainable one, where he and his family, friends and supporters can enjoy the finer things.
It’s extremely clear that TonAsh has been working, and at a consistent pace.  As an artist, very few individuals can match his steady growth with the publishing of music videos, multiple web, television and radio appearances, a growing fashion and accessory brand (City242 Clothing) and most recently an endorsement contract with the Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited.
