Nathan Adams - Holding On

Nathan Adams, is an up and coming musician who has been in the underground spectrum for a while. Like so many great singers across the world, past and present, Nathan was nurtured musically and vocally in the heart of the church, At the tender age of only 20 he still continues to conjure up tunes for our listening pleasure. Here’s a quick snip to show you just who he is and what he’s been up to.



Photobucket

How Did You Start And How Long Have You Been An Artist For?

I started off in church, like so many other artists… I was in several choirs, and played piano for the church. I made my first song for my 1st love... I recorded it on a keyboard and ghettoblaster and made her a tape… She still has it somewhere.
I started dreaming about doing music commercially when I turned 11, started producing, made a group, all of that. I’ve been doing it for 10 years now.

What Do You Hope To Achieve As An Artists?

As an artist, I don’t want to be restricted to any one genre. I want to be someone who is known for the quality of my music. So whether I do RnB, Jazz, House, whatever, people still know its good music. I hope to achieve musical longevity rather than a flash in the pan career, and basically to make timeless music.
I have no dreams of dominating the world, or being the best. I do it STRICTLY for the love of it.



Photobucket

If You Wasn’t A Musician, What Would You Be And Why?

I would like to teach or look after kids, do some form of childcare.
I love kids.

What Has Been The Most Embarrassing Musical Experience?

Trying to hit the same high note TWICE, and my voice cracking each time at church one time. The church was full of people. It was a long walk back to my seat, trust me.



Photobucket

Tell The Truth, Do You Freely Download Music Or Do You Rummage Through Your Wallet To Purchase It?

I wont lie, I have done both. Truth be told, I even downloaded my OWN song at one point (DON’T TELL NO ONE!) LOL

What Have Is Yet To Come For Your Listeners?

Great music! No more, no less

Dazzle - The Road To Stardom

Dazzle Is An Up And Coming Musician From Hackney, North London Who Has Been Working On The Backdrop Of The Underground Music Scene For A Number Of Years. He Has Previously Released Two Promotional CD’S Under The Titles Of ‘The Prodigy’ And ‘Stardust’ And He Is Currently In The Process Of Forming His Forthcoming Mixtape ‘Road To Stardom’. Here Is A Brief Interview With Dazzle, I Thought I’d Catch Up With Him To See What He’s Got In Store For Us Listeners.

Photobucket

So Dazzle, What Does Music Mean To You?

Music, Well there isn't one exact definition of music. However to me music is communication and a form of art. Music is a creative method by which one can get his/her voice heard, and spread an opinion through to thousands. I personally believe that music is an expression of feelings were lyrics are recorded over a beat.

How Much Of An Impact Has The Music You Grew Up With Had On Your Own Style As A Musician?

I personally grew up around a lot of gospel music. My mum, being a very religious woman, used to enjoy blasting her gospel CDs throughout the house on Sunday afternoons. LOL. Gospel tends to be quite a reflective type of genre, it tends to be quite considerate and reflects meaning. My music, therefore, represents ME. I make music that I myself and other people can relate to.

Photobucket

What Do You Focus On When Making Music?

When I record my music, I focus mainly on how I come across to listeners. I like my music to feel realistic therefore I attempt to put myself in the situation I'm MC'ing about every time I hit the booth. I also always attempt to make my music either meaningful or relatable.

What Artists Do You Looking Up To and Why?

I wouldn't say that there are specific artists I look up to, I just prefer GOOD artists, as I feel that you can't have a particular artists who is the 'best', all that really matters is how much you appeal to people. You can have the best rhymes in the hood, but if you don't have any commercial appeal…well you ain't going no where. LOL.
However if you asked me who my favourite artist was… I would have to say… Kano. His unique style and humility was mainly what got me into music in the 1st place.

Photobucket

Other Than Music, Can You Think Of Another Way Of Communicating Your Experiences or Ideas?

Other than music...Hmmmm Well...
Other ways I can think of communicating my experiences/ideas would be through…well...words. This is because…music… when you think about it, is nothing more than poetry on a beat, with a little bit of flow added to the mixture. If not through music, I like to express myself through writing... English has always been one of my favourite and preferred subjects at school, up to this day.

What Can We Expect From You As An Artist?

To be true… A LOT.
However, I've felt the need to say this for quite a while now. There are FAR too many artists who when interviewed always claim to have 'a lot in the pipeline' but nothing ever actually comes out of the other end. All I'm going to say for now is… a LOT. I personally feel with whatever you do in life there is a necessity to put in a 100% and to also do it to the best of your ability. Otherwise you might as well not have attempted it in the 1st place. I'm a very motivated individual and do what I do for the genuine love of it.

Sk-D Photography

Sk-D Is An Up An Coming Photographer From Northwest London, He Has Been In The Media Industry, Specifically Photography Scene For Just Over Three Years, His Expanding Clientelle Consists Of Familar Names Such As Gracious K, Adam Deacon and Dotstar.

Read On Whilst I Catch Up With Sk-D To See What He’s Been Working On And How He Got Involved...



Photobucket

So, What Do You Do And How Did You Initially Get Involved?

I'm a graphic designer/airbrush artist + a photographer. I started years ago I’ve always been a fan of the arts, always drawing or scribbling. I started photography when I chose it as a random subject it was all to do with creativeness and I had Four A Level options, so, it was one of the subjects I picked along side media and art.

How Would You Say You Where Different From Other Photographers?

I try to see what I want before I even obtained it and that will go through my mind until I’ve got a clear picture in my head. I’m always changing until I’ve grasp what I’m trying to achieve. I'm a very precise person so it its not good to me (even though others are jumping up and down because it looks good) I will still scrap it and start again!



Photobucket

Apart From Photographer Where Do You Other Interest Lie In Terms Of Media?

Graphics, art and airbrushing garments/canvases.....more the graphics though these thing are what got me my reputation way before I started photography



Photobucket

If There Was No Internet, How Would You Promote Your Talent?

You will probably find me in Oxford Circus with a big poster of my best piece of work on a wooden board shouting out:



'SK-D PHOTOGRAPHY, come get your pictures done'!



Photobucket

Straight. I’m sure there's no law against that.

With The Evolution Of Technology, Do You Think It’s Harder For You To Be Original, And Why?

Yeah definitely. I cant be a pioneer at my own styles AS MUCH before these softwares give everyone the same power to create almost the same thing, plus its a thing where because everything is much quicker and easier these days in terms of technology you have to keep your game up always creating something or producing new work because if you don't some else will and take your shine!



Photobucket

Which Clients Have You Worked With And Who Have You Got In Mind For The Future?

I've worked with quite a few more in the ‘Urban Scene’ though.....I’ve worked for couple of premiership footballer (which went on sky sports news), Gracious nappaman K - Migraine skank, Tribal Man, Jazzie from the Jazzie show (channel aka), Adam deacon – Kidulthood, Adulthood and E4's 'Dead Set', Dotstar - Stick Up Skank, Femi McCool - Wag1 t.v and a few others.



Photobucket

If I really had to say who wanted to work with we will be here all day but it most probably would be mostly everyone doing something big in U.K first, then a few U.S stars

So Exactly How Long Have You Been In The Music Industry For And As An Artist What Would You Say Is the Best Part Of Your Job?

The best part of my job is the feeling of putting something out there and getting a good reaction. It’s like an accomplishment in itself and performing live is a good feeling. I’ve only been "in the industry" for a short while as a singer song writer, but, I’ve always done music from a young age. I learnt to play different instruments, anything that made a loud noise really. [lool] Drums, Trumpet, Guitar even a Violin once, but I gave them all up after I learnt a little (huh hmm), anyway I got into a lot of different music then. I started writing lyrics to Jungle and doing house parties (those were the days) then Garage took me away from the Jungle it was Soulful, proper girls liked it too!! Which is always good. I started hosting, MC’ing and Singing up n down the UK with a crew called the "A team" we were on DejaVu 92.3, Flava fm 87.6, Rinse fm 100.3. We won a place in the final of Kiss fm, but after that, I knew I didn’t want to play and sing on other people’s music because I can make my own so I did. I’ve been recording now for three or four years.

The First Track On Your Album Is ‘I Need You’ Which Features Wiley, What Other Collaboration Can We Expect In The Future And What Was It Like Working With One Of The Legendary Faces Of Grime?

Yeah, First of Big Up ‘DJ SLIMZEE’ he's the one that hooked Me and Wiley up I always used to tape ‘Pay As You Go’ back in the day. Slimzee heard my music and was feeling what I was doing so he introduced me to ‘Danny Weed’ he gave me a load of beats but that one track was the one that stood out to me "I Need You". It was good to work with someone who is well respected in the industry as people want to listen more then, if you got the talent.

Also look out for a new music video Kosha Ft Lexus and Forte "Another Way" filmed by Future Productions which is currently being played on 1xtra, Choice Fm and few others on screens E.G Channel U / MTV Base very soon that’ll be a good look.




Photobucket

When Making Music Do You Tend To Tailor Your Material To A Specific Audience E.G. Sex or Age Group Because I Noticed That The First Three Tracks Have A Sort Of Lovey / Girly Feel For The Ladies?

Yeah I make music on how I feel really that’s why I do it it’s my way of releasing my thoughts and stuff without saying it ... but I make music not specifically for girls or guy's i not looking to shut any one out if you like it you like i think but girls like it cause its different its UK RnB and its fresh they understand what I’m saying so boi.. LOL it’s all good but i hope my music is universal.

What Makes You Different From Other Musicians And Why?

Well for one I’m the most cockney musician in the "scene" that’s different LOL, umm all my music is different because its a part of me its not written by anyone apart from me so i hope that when people hear my music some one would have been in the same situation will feel better for that 4 minutes the track is playing my music is like therapy I suppose that’s different




Photobucket

How Do You Plan To Elevate As An Artist And What Have You Got In Store For Forthcoming Listeners?

I just plan to carry on recording music getting it out there by any means necessary) even if I’m on road selling CDs for another 2 years it nothing!) And hopefully good opportunities will come my way. as for the future i just finished my new music video with two of my friends a rapper called "lexus" [WWW.MYSPACE.COM/DUTTYMOUTH] & composer and pianist forte myspace.com/forte called "another way" very conscience positive track about how u can get stuck in the cycle of the streets but there’s always another way should be on screens in a few weeks look out for that and two more EP's one for the roads called Ebenezer street and its all Kosha VOL2 should be good to go soon too, also got a part in a film called the crew that’s all I know on that at the moment so you see me about in a few thing soon




Photobucket

In One Sentence Why Should People Cop The Album ?

Because it’s all Kosha baby! cmon....LOL

Keep your ears and eyes peeled for Kosha, he may just be the next big thing!

Facebook As The Saviour.

After Years Of Social Networking Sites, Facebook Above All Has Managed To Circulate A Membership Of More Than 300 Million Active Users, So While Your Tapping Away To Your 10 - 20 Odd Friends On Facebook Chat, There’s Another 290 Million+ Users Around The World Doing The Same!

Photobucket

Facebook Has Managed To Monopolise The Entire Internet Market, Inevitably Put Previous Social Networking Hotspots Such As ‘MSN’, ‘Hi5’, ‘Bebo’, ‘Facepic’ and ‘Myspace’ And Gradually Out Of Business. It Seems As Though Everyone Has Turned To Facebook For A Piece Of The Action. Mothers, Fathers, Uncles, Aunts, Cousin, Brothers And Sisters Are All All Apart Of The Worldwide ‘Facebookers’. If You Haven’t Got A Profile, You Don’t Exist! Its Simply Unnatural.

With The Ability To Post Event Information, Rave Promoters No Longer Have To Stand Outside In The Cold, Designers No Longer Have To Trail The Streets For Clients: ‘To Place An Order Inbox Me’, Up And Coming Artists No Longer Have To Stand Around Central London And Bombard The Public To By There CD’S. Surprisingly Both Women And Men Haven’t Got To Go Far To Find A Date With The Amount Of Digital Bodies Online, You Can’t Be Spoilt For Choice. Don’t Be Ashamed If You Do, Kanye West and Drake Are Even Getting Involved With These So Called ‘Digital Girls’, It’s Now Part Of Internet Culture.

Who Knows What The Future Hold For Internet?

Are You Gonna Bang Doe?

After The Release Of Jerimah's Birthday Sex, It Was Inevitable Someone Would Come Along With A Sex Tune For The UK Music Scene. But How On Earth Could He Really Make A Tune Saying ‘Are You Gonna Bang Doe’? Funky Dee Went So Sick With The Release Of His Single Earlier This Summer Putting All The So Called Hood/ Bad Boys To Shame.

Just Because Your Getting Paper Down Mean Your Getting In Beds!



Go Nappa, Are You Gonna Doe?

The Future Is Blackberry !

It seems like everyone’s jumped on the bandwagon of the new high-tech hype of the Black Berry Handset. From the old Berry’s to the new berry’s everyone’s getting involved, but exactly what is the big fascination?

Curve...Bold...Storm...? The ability to access Facebook, Emails, Twitter and more is only a fraction of the handset’s know-how, despite the fact you can keep in contact whenever, wherever for free. The nations in a frenzy, initially when the first model of the Black Berry came out they were only found in the palms of prosperous business men in suits but now Uni Students, College Kids and the general public alike seem to be holding the same hand held.

Photobucket


During these hard times you would have thought people would be holding on to there money for longer instead of splashing out to buy a ‘BlackBerry’. Over the last couple of months there has definitely been and increase in sales, so there’s no doubt that manufacturer’s such as Microsoft and Nokia have had to step up there game for the hottest gadget of 2009.

Mc Maxwell D- the former garage MC - even created his very own tune for the craze ‘Black Berry Hype’. Almost everyone you now nowadays has a BB, so if you haven’t you better get involved. The new smart phone is bound to embrace the new form of communication, expanding the phenomenon which is the cyber world.

What is yet to come?
