GEM is to headline the Los Angeles Power Women Summit in December, bringing this new style of medical-music to the masses. She has been able to make use of her time in isolation: perfecting her EP, creating a YouTube channel and working on a plethora of collaborations with other global artists. The new single, If I’m Honest, is arguably the first of its kind. It has been specifically produced in the key of B. The musical note B is associated with the crown chakra, the 7th chakras in the Buddhist tantric system. Buddhists believe that by listening to music in this key, corresponding to the crown chakra, it can heal and awaken the listener, helping to release stored negative energy and energetic blockages in the body.

  WE HAD A CHANCE TO CATCH UP WITH MICHAEL COLEMAN, READ WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY!   Michael Coleman, where are you from and what's it like in your hometown and how did you get the nickname "The Metropolitan Cowboy"?   I was actually born and raised in San Diego, California.  San Diego is just an awesome town although like everywhere else in California, it costs a fortune to live there.  My nickname, “The Metropolitan Cowboy” actually comes from a television project I was doing a few year’s back. I wrote and produced an adult-oriented sketch comedy show and since I was always dressed with a cowboy hat on and looked metrosexual we decided that should be the name of the show and my brand and I have been called that ever since.   How long have you been songwriting and where do you find the inspiration?   I’ve been writing since I was a kid, however I didn’t decide to take it seriously until I had a milestone birthday , I won’t tell you which one and it wa

  Q: What city are you from?   What’s  it like back home? A: Oliver: I’m  from Toronto, Ontario! Here in Toronto unfortunately we’ve just gone back into Stage 2  Covid  Re-opening (as of  mid October ) which means indoor dining has been stopped (which includes indoor shows), gathering sizes have shrunken, and generally, people are once again in ‘stay at home’ mode.    Afraaz : I am from Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. Dar is a bustling city on the coast of the Indian Ocean. It is a commercial hub and as such, there are lots of industrial  endeavours  and activities which take place. However, the pace of life is much slower than Toronto where I currently live. I draw inspiration from the Dhow and  Tarab  music. My favorite place in Tanzania is Zanzibar's historic Stone Town. Particularly the magnificent doors.      Q: How long have you guys known each other and how long have you been a group? A:  Both: We’ve  known each other for  a little over  3 years now. We  actually met  in Montreal ,
