Read the details about his journey below!   Interview Questions So when did you become a musician, and would you say it was the ideal path to take? Because I was born into a musical family, becoming a musician was not something I even thought about. It is in my blood. I knew I wanted to make music my career at the early age of 5 years old. I know that being a professional trumpeter and school band director is my calling.   Who are the jazz influences that inspired you? You know, I started off with singing & playing the guitar, but then I saw Louis Armstrong playing the trumpet & that decided it for me. When I spoke to my mom, she said that my uncle had an old trumpet that he used to play and once I had cleaned it out, my fate was sealed.

Guitar sweeps, feel good times, fuzz rock, and smooth jazz all mixed in one immense EP from NJ locals Via Ripa. We'll start off with "Nicotine", the records intro track. This track gets you moving straight out of the gate. You know you're in for a damn good time as soon as that wavey guitar starts up. The band has a punk rock enthusiasm and slamming drums as well which does them even more justice. "Fingertips" is another that shows the unique and warming sound of Via Ripa. After a song like "Fingertips" you can't help but want more. "Bath Ave" is a slight stray from the rock style of the others but damn does it play well. Much more of a light hearted style. A front-man that's super on point and a band that has an obvious love for playing, viap Riap is fun sounds from a fun band! Check Via Ripa as soon as humanly possible.  https://instagram.com/via. ripa?igshid=1pzlfbh53uekx https://music.apple.com/us/ album/via-ripa-ep/1518352022

  Cyzle Blessed gets the crowd moving with her new single "Shake It Lous". The club anthem is energized and she certainly pushes the tone with her swagger and style. The Chicago born MC first hit the scene in 2003 when she connected with Jam Gospel Group and shared the stage with Yolanda Adams and Shirley Ceasar.  Having influences of Busta Rhymes and Kelly Rowland, she is a force to be reckon with. As a writer/lyricist, Cyzle Blessed has released several mixtapes which gain the attention of J. Green and Jakal Beats. Her award winning songs shows that she has the talent to make it big in this industry. When the Flyah team ran across her submission, we were caught by surprise and instantly blown away by the party driven single. The instrumentation of Shake It Lous reminds me of Nicki Minaj's Anaconda, which is a great thing because it's packed with fun and thrill. Listeners will have no choice but to get up and move to the uptempo masterpiece. The lyrics are very relat

Born on November 10th 1968, Robert Eskridge, the Delaware native, was designed for Country music. Graduating from Morehead State University, Robert was a 3 time national champion in cheerleading. Getting his start by playing music in local bars at age 16, he exhibited pure confidence. By his adult ages, he had played in many bands in Kentucky and began working with many record labels in Nashville.  After the birth of his first child, his priorities changed and he focused on his career outside of music,  but still performed locally for the next 25 years with his band Southern Daze. Today he arrives with the new album entitled Simple Things with the hit single, "You're My Destiny".  This country ballad expresses a love for a spouse and an announcement for his passion to make sure his point gets across. Lyrics like "Reminded of memories, I'm filled with joy" reflects on time spent with such a wonderful person. In life, we can be overwhelmed and with today's

  Eileen Carey presents herself in a very professional manner. With many accolades such as achieving the AC/Hot AC Female Artist of the Year Award to Los Angeles Music Awards Live Country Music Performer in 2017, she shows no signs of slowing down. Eileen excels in the art of storytelling with a style that graces the world radiantly. Her voice stands out in the over-saturated music industry due to her accent and heavenly tone. When first hearing the fantastic single, "Keep Your Love to Yourself", I was instantly blown away by the mixture of Pop sounds with Electro transitions while keeping the Country sound active. Although the lyrics describes confidence while being in a toxic relationship, the easy listening song can soothe the listener on an evening walk or relaxing at home. In the opening bars, Eileen elaborates with the commonly used metaphor "Light at the end of the Tunnel" depicting the lack of hope. Sometimes in life, people can be controlling and demanding
