Curating playlists and discovering new music are my favorite pastimes. With so much good music being released daily and archives of great tracks hiding out there, there’s always something new to listen to and to share with others. Whether you’re looking for a palate cleanser or want something that’s right up your alley, I’ll be […]
R&B + Soul artists who deserve more recognition
At any given moment, I’m listening to R&B and Soul music of every decade. As someone who loves sharing music with friends, there are so many amazing artists out there whose names I don’t hear or see brought up enough. If you’re looking for anything new to listen to or want to expand on a […]
A Live Session With June and The Pushas
I’ve known June for as long as this blog exists, he doesn’t know this but he was one of the first local JC creatives to believe in me and this platform. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing him twice! Once with his previous band mates and the second time as a “Stylish Peep“. If you […]
Pat Van Dyke
I first saw Pat Van Dyke at the Riverview Jazz Festival last summer and he rocked the house (or the park). I kid you not, I sent myself an e-mail with the header “Interview PVD.” Well, I never came around to it and when I recently interviewed DJ Prestige aka Flea Market Funk, he dropped […]
Flea Market Funk
There are many really talented local Jersey City DJ’s that are making a name for themselves in the nightlife scene. That being said, it’s very rare to see a DJ carry in crates of records to their gigs these days. Digital is just easier and more convenient! The art of DJ’ing has completely changed in the […]
June and the Pushas
I interviewed Junestar months ago for a post, he was one of those people who I heard about ever since starting this blog. He is crazy talented, stylish, friendly and a huge supporter of the art scene in Jersey City. While I was interviewing him he talked about his new band “June and the Pushas” […]
AVE
A few days after the Mayor Steven Fulop interview went up one of his supporters, Victor Velazquez saw it and contacted me to tell the story about his wonderful children. Victoria, Alexia, and Emmanuel are part of a Gospel turned Pop group called “Ave.” I checked out their music and they are incredibly talented! They have […]
Junestar, Mr. Blackman
I’ve been after Junestar since my interview with Stylish peep and musician Kieran Sullivan… Him and his wife (also a stylish peep) Mercedes told me Junestar is the ultimate “Stylish peep” and that he is also extremely talented. To my dismay he was nowhere to be found until a few weeks ago he returned to […]
Josirs
About two weeks ago, I made a really tough decision to leave my position at an awesome company that I have been working for 7 years, to pursue my passions in the creative world. This was a very difficult decision to make, taking the leap; leaving a company that was like family to me and […]
Timothy Ruiz- Rhythm & Style
I first saw Timothy, a local musician performing at Two Boots a few weeks ago. I was drinking beer, eating a vegan pizza (which was delicious btw) mingling with new JC friends and then he started singing…. I stopped short. His voice is so soulful and unique…. It’s truly amazing! It’s the kind of voice […]
