If you’ve been bit by the travel bug and are looking to try your hand at some local “solo traveling,” you’ve come to the right place. The Jersey City and New York City areas are home to a variety of incredible things to explore on your own if you’re up for it! Step outside your […]
Chrissi Poland
Chrissi Poland is one of those people that you know you’re going to love even before meeting them, she is an amazing singer/songwriter who currently lives in the heights. Chrissi invited me over along with friend and photog Andy Mac to chat and also hear her sing. Chrissi has the most amazing voice, she is […]
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 […]
HolyVeins
Every year County Prep High School hosts their annual Open Mic Night (hosted in October) for students to showcase their talent. I went to my first County Prep Open Mic Night in 2013 where I met Janel (HolyVeins), a young girl who is full of energy, optimism, and talent! Janel shuffled her way on stage […]
Shayfer James
I first saw Shayfer James perform live, a little over a year ago at a JC Friday’s, Groove on Grove event. I remember I was on my way to check out 1,802 art shows that were happening that night. Shayfer started singing and I ended up staying for his whole performance, I was floored. He […]
Matty D.
I saw Matty D. perform for the first time at a festival by Hamilton Park almost a year ago and I loved his energy. Matty D, is a natural born entertainer, an extremely skilled guitar player that was put on this earth to make people smile and have a good time. Matty D. is honestly […]
Carolyn Light
These days the music industry is so saturated with female artists that sing club anthems, are auto-tuned, wear body suits, and sing about things normal people can’t really relate to… I love Rihanna, but who is this girl that owes you money?! and why are you singing about her? Anyway, I digress. I love pop […]
Giselle
A little over a year ago, at a local block party, I heard an angelic voice, the voice of an opera singer. It was Giselle. When I first laid eyes on her it was literally love at first sight. She is one of the prettiest and most talented people I have ever seen. At first […]
Annelise Collette
People in Jersey City never cease to amaze me, the amount of talented people living and working here is really insane. I was asked recently if I would ever run out of things to write about, the answer is absolutely not!! Annelise Collette is one of those people; I’ve met her a few times out […]
Katja Larssen
In the beginning of summer on one of the many block parties in Jersey City, I was walking around and heard an angelic voice coming from the stage. I went closer and saw Katja, a young lady singing and playing on her guitar a Lana Del Ray song. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her, […]
Alex Tea
I consider myself a pretty positive and happy person, but in comparison to Alex Tea I am more like Larry David. I came across Alex Tea and his group KIWI a few weeks ago. When I first listened to his music, I closed my eyes and pictured myself on a beach somewhere drinking coconut water […]
Joshh Ayala – JC’s California Boy
Months ago, I started following Joshh on Instagram; I just loved his style, his cool gear and his adorable selfies… Upon further investigation I found out he just moved here from California and was also a musician.. So I asked him to be my next stylish peep! We met on the boardwalk by Exchange place […]
Chris Zurich
One day I got a friend request on Facebook from Chris Zurich….That same night while riding my Bridgitte I heard someone yelling out “Hey, Chicpea”, and it was Chris! After chatting with him for 5 minutes I knew we would be friends, he is a super down to earth guy, with an adorable smile. A week […]
Roland Burks
A few months ago, I went to 660 Studios to interview some of the citizens of this weird arts space craft. While interviewing and checking the place out, I heard a faint voice singing opera. A few thoughts crossed my mind; a) Great now I am hearing voices, b) I really need to get some sleep, […]
Kieran Sullivan- JC’s Kool Kat
I first met Kieran with his wifey (and stylist) Mercedes at Roman nose in Jersey City a few weeks ago. Two words to describe him…. BAD ASS. He’s so f-ing cool! He is the type of guy every one wants to be friends with; super chill, laid back, but also really friendly and he is kind of […]
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 […]
