Me'Mo is #Flyah

Me'Mo is an African native, born and raised in the western part of africa "Nigeria". Me'Mo is by profession a software engineer, but he's love for music was always going to pull him away into the more urban euphoria which he enjoys.

 Classified as a NERD and social outcast growing up, Me'Mo was never one of the cool kids, hence he usually always finds himself backed against the wall. With very few friends, he was often found alone with he's thoughts and which helped mold this creative genuis as an artist. Influenced by Comics, video games, Cartoons and Anime, he created a virtual world which would later play a huge role in his music.

Me'Mo was first introduced to the world of music through he's dad who was a choir and lead vocalist at their local church, and also through the years of listening to classics from the greats "Michael Jackson (who was the kids idol growing up), Lionel Richie, James Brown, The Commodores" all who will later be a huge influence in helping him become a more diverse musician. 

Me'Mo's first ever musical experience was through he's cousin "Tozer" who at the time was learning the art of producing. Tozer came back home from America for the holidays and brought with him a demo CD to market in Nigeria, only to find out he's cousin "Me'Mo" was also interested in making music.

they both teamed up and worked on Me'Mo's first ever studio project "Street Hype" in 2006 which was he's first mixtape. Street hype had very little success, but that didn't deter Me'Mo's dreams and ambitions to further chase he's dreams. In 2008 the kid put out another mixtape cd "Tha Epidemic", after months of improving on his writing skills and total delivery, he was back in the studio again to work on some more music. Like every kid with ambitious parents, Me'Mo was faced with the decision to get an education or drop out of school to pursue a career in music. But that still was never going to slow him down, in between studying as a software engineer, he still made time to make music. in 2010 he dropped another mixtape "My Boombox" hosted by UK's tope DJ "DJ Sole". this time my boombox was successful, hitting the front page of datpiff and also making it to well over a 100 different blog sites, which would mark the start of a new transition for him.

After graduating as a software engineer, Me'Mo decided to focus more on what he always loved doing, making music. He reached out to long time producer "Smitty for Track'Bangas" who was also the producer for "Tha Epidemic and My Boombox" to record "Dark Empire" in 2011, and immediately a followup with "The Music Experience Vol-1". the music experience introduced Me'Mo to the world, the cd would go on to sell 20,000 hard copies. high from the success of the music experience Me'Mo decided it was time to take he's musical career to the next level, so he moved to atlanta right after he dropped "Finding Me'Mo" which is title date the most successful project he has released. Moving to Atlanta Me'Mo linked up with long time producer smitty for trackbangas and friend Fedarro and has since been working on he's first studio EP "The Music Experience Vol-2" with the first single of the EP "The Weekend" now out on iTunes.

Amber Norgaard is #Flyah

Described as “poet, peace-warrior, healer…one of Tucson’s great musical trailblazers” (Tucson Lifestyle Magazine), Amber Norgaard is known for her passionate vocal/piano/guitar delivery and poignant lyrics that inspire a sense of hope.

Prior to launching her music career in 2004, Norgaard worked as a registered nurse in southwestern Alaska for six years. During this time, she lived 400 miles off the road system and was immersed within the indigenous population. It was here that she learned to use music as a source of connection to transcend language and cultural barriers.  This discovery was what ultimately led her to pursue her passion—using music as healing art to foster compassion, spirituality and promote positive social change.

In 2007, Norgaard was the runner-up in the California-based Winery Music Awards.  That year, she was also voted Tucson’s “Up & Coming Artist of the Year.” Since then, she has been recognized in several songwriting competitions, was a runner-up in the 2011 Tucson Area Music Awards Folk Performance Award category and is a finalist in the 2012 Tucson Folk Festival Songwriting Competition. She has released four full-length albums.

Amber tours nationally. She has opened for Judy Collins, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald and Ellis Paul and performed at events and music festivals from California to Massachusetts and Texas to Alaska. In addition to performing, Amber writes music for film and humanitarian organizations. She speaks on the topic of "Music as a Healing Art & Instrument for Social Change" at colleges.

Amber Norgaard, a nurse turned musician, has a passion for healing through song. 

Amber wrote "Raise Me Up" after visiting Equine Voices Rescue and Sanctuary - a horse rescue in Southern Arizona. Hearing the tragic stories of the horses and how human compassion turned the story around, as well as the stories of healing that transpired for the volunteers working with the horses, Amber was inspired to connect the human journey to that of the horses.

Her words describe this reflection:

"They teach us no distance is too far
And no heart too separate
To unite, emerge from the ruins and resurrect in peace.

In their presence, we sense our own human potential
For true strength is in serving
And true power happens when we raise each other up."

"Raise Me Up" is Amber Norgaard's first single release on iTunes and Amazon, as well as her first official music video release on YouTube. Read more about her experience of filming a music video with horses in her blogpost "The Gift of Surrender" (http://ambernorgaard.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-gift-of-surrender.html). Since starting her singer/songwriter career in 2004, she has released four albums and one EP. She tours nationally and writes for many humanitarian organizations, tapping into her niche of healing through art and music.

Nu Man is #Flyah Great party music

Chicago was his birthplace, and he also spent time on the West Coast, but Atlanta, Georgia was the place vibrant performer Nu-Man blossomed into a distinctive, compelling singer/songwriter. Once his family relocated to the locale known as "The ATL," where they still reside, Nu-Man's love affair with music blossomed.  He mixes rap's verbal fluidity and improvisational fervor with tones and themes gleaned from pop, R&B, and soul. The result is an edgy, dynamic sound that offers insight into everything from relationships to topical issues.  When asked what inspired him to become a performer, Nu-Man responds in decisive fashion, crediting Atlanta's fertile creative environment with being the catalyst towards a professional career. "I first gained interest in music as a sophomore in college," Nu-Man recalled. "I remember free styling for the fun of it around others and noticing how people dug the way I flowed."   Family members have proven just as important to the development of his hybrid style as some major musical names. "On a personal note, I can say that my older brother, along with other artists in my family were my first major influences," he continues. "By witnessing their musical creativity and the high level of sound I interpreted it to be, I was like "wow," that is so cool to be able to create good music. On the other hand, Michael Jackson, Elvis, and rapper E-40 were my outside influences."  As someone who mixes spoken word and song, Nu-Man's approach to songwriting reflects a careful balance between expressing ideas in oral or musical fashion. "

My compositions are created both by lyrics first along with the melodies I hear with it, and also by listening to a beat and feeling the direction the beat takes me lyrically," Nu-Man explains.  "Interspersing multiple genres into a tune comes naturally," he adds in response to an inquiry about the multiple strains that converge in his music. "I'm naturally a more literal writer as opposed to a more figurative approach. So as I write, I tend to write about real life experiences and the emotions and feelings they generate. Being a pop artist I like more up tempo songs, while being soulful, I naturally put feelings into it. That makes up my recipe for a good tune."  The sources of his songs are as varied as the genres and artists he enjoys. "My ideas for songs come in different ways," he adds. "Sometimes when I hear a track, I will be reminded of a moment. I then ponder on the cause and effects of that moment while I vibe to the rhythm of the track and write. Other times I will find myself feeling some kind of way, and I then put into a song whatever I am feeling at that time. Also, I will hear a song in my sleep, wake up and write it."  But while versatility and variety are Nu-Man attributes, thus far there's one arena he doesn't explore as a composer.  "At this point in my writing career I have yet to write any political songs." Nu-Man acknowledges. "Topical material I do write sometimes."  Nu-Man's roots are evident in both his edgy vocals and love for lyrical embellishment. "I was born in Chicago, but spent most of my youth in California," he responds when asked if he heard or was aware of much house music, a Windy City staple. I remember loving '80s R&B like the Whispers and Rick James, while also liking '80s pop music."

While now totally focused on his music and career, Nu-Man envisions a time when he can stretch his creative wings. "At some point in time, I am looking forward to writing for other artists," he said. "I have some songs that I can hear some other great voices on as well, not just my own. For me, it is always fun to collaborate with other artists and create music that is unique and different than what I am used to with my own style."  In the past, options for independent artists weren't nearly as plentiful as in the 21st century. Nu-Man's especially pleased with how the Internet has proven a boon for those performers without record label support. "I am glad that the Internet is available for independent artists," he says. "I think it really lends a helping hand when it comes to getting our music heard by the people. Record labels have to pick and choose their artists and it might not be the best way for you as an artist. The Internet really helps independent artists get their music to the people."  "My goal is to entertain for a living at a high level," he concludes. "I have a strong desire to create songs that will last a lifetime or two and stand the test of time. I am also really looking forward to my very own first Grammy Party."  With his enticing, original sensibility and approach, Nu-Man can look forward to a long career and hopefully several other Grammy events in the future.

Tommy Marz Band is #Flyah

 

When Tommy Marz recorded his first solo album three years ago, he expected it to be a one time creative experience. Because more often than not, Pop artists will have an underlying desire to record a Rock and Roll album after years of recording Pop records... not the other way around. After years of writing, performing, and recording predominately Rock music with Go To Zero, Tommy decided to take a softer approach with his first solo album 'Rival'.

After having success with a version of George Michael's 'Faith' that spawned a video that went on to receive many views on YouTube and getting placements on Networks such as NBC and MTV, Tommy decided to record a follow up album.

The album entitled 'Play. Listen. Rewind. Repeat.' is a collection of songs started from the acoustic guitar up.  This album produced a stripped down sound.  A first for the band.  This album produced the song 'A Kid in the 1980's' which finished at #17 on the SDC Neworks year end countdown for 2013.

Today, the Tommy Marz Band is ready to return to its Rock and Roll roots and release a new Rock album.  This album will have the melodic sensitivity fans have come to expect but will have an overall harder rock sound.  This new album will be entittled 'Bringing Alpha'.  The first single from the upcoming album is called 'Star'.

New Music from Flyah Ent #Rellz N #Christobal

 

Rellz Tha Postman was born on July 28,1988 in Richmond Virginia. At a young age Rellz began to do hip hop music. At first it was just for fun and he loved to battle his classmates. After meeting William Street things became more serious. Together they started a group called SY(Sincerely Yours).  The group consisted of 6 rappers from the 804 area.(King Mista, King Berto, R.O.D, NR, William Street, and Rellz).  Working together became harder to do because of many reasons so Rellz began to put out solo projects. Rellz started writing to instrumentals until he decided to make his own music.  Using programs like FL studio and equipment like MIDI keyboards, MPD 26, M-Audio speakers was the route he chose. Rellz Tha Postman has released his first hip hop instrumental EP.   This project has been in the work for the last three months and Rellz was thinking about several of his favorite albums when he finally realized why they are his favorite.   Rellz believes that production like the Nas's illmatic and Jay's Reasonable Doubt is why hip hop appeals to him so much .  In order to make the best hip hop instrumental EP Rellz had to study the game for many years. "Now it is time to show the world what I have developed"

Christobal the Vision was born February 7th 1990 and he was diagnosed with autistic features. As a child, he was gifted with the ability to rap by looking at music videos that were showcasing rap. In the teenage years of Christobal, he had a knack for producing beats and still was rapping on the side. The inspiration for beats began from playing the Playstation 2 video game called MTV Music Generator 2; afterwards production came to Fruity Loops and Christobal began to find his art form of 80's-esque instrumentals. Originally, a mixtape called On the Other Note was going to be materialized but the title was changed into Has the Eye on the Prize. The mixtape featured beats from both Christobal and his brother Rellz Tha Postman. The debut album Is Seeing Things was inspired from DeBarge Cameo & Michael Jackson hit records from the late 80's; there are also influences of Will Smith (previously the Fresh Prince) & LL Cool J for some of the records. The status of the album is postponed for the time being due to collaborative projects with Rellz Tha Postman and various artists affiliated with Flyah ENT.
