  • Holly Stephey Talks to Betty Novas
    This Miami bred artist began cultivating her musical styling in grade school while studying voice and piano. Her musicianship varied from singing and playing in school assemblies, local television programs, the acclaimed Miami's Children's Chorus, playing guitar with an acoustic ensemble, singing in various plays and touring with a pop/rock ensemble. After attending Hollywood's famed Musicians Institute of Technology, and a stint as a backing guitarist to some LA locals, Betty pressed pen to paper. This transition led to turning a thought into a chorus and melody from emotion into popular music.
    Redefining her vision, her road to success has already begun as an artist writing/performing music for her own band, for the stage play Fine in Hollywood and independent film Chance (directed by Amber Benson of TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer). Diverse musical ability has also enabled her to sing in a commercial video and play a date with hardcore Warner Brothers outfit Heidi . This diversity culminates work that represents Betty Navas as a talent. Talent and the ability to transform life into music are the true window to Betty's soul.

  • Holly Stephey Talks to Derek Jordan and about his Music!
    Derek Jordan is king of individuality. The singer/guitarist from Los Angeles has electrified minds with his original genre, psych alternative rock. Combining psychological lyrics with high energized alternative rock to the likes of Chris Cornell, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots, Derek Jordan’s mission is to dissect the thoughts and habits of everyday life. He tells it how it is and expresses how it should be.
    Derek doesn’t believe in under-living yourself. He doesn’t believe in others making decisions for you. And he certainty doesn’t believe in conformity. What he does believe in is choosing your own path in life, pursuing your own passions, and forming your own opinions regardless of what you’ve been “taught”. There are no “rules” you have to follow in life. Certainty, security, and social customs are all made up. They don’t exist. They’ve been embedded in your minds through fear and avoidance of pain, resulting in the distortion of pleasure, adventure, and freedom that life is meant to be. It is a common conception that you can’t get what you want out of life and that greatness only comes from luck. This is absolutely absurd to Derek. This social mindset has plagued the mind and suppressed quality of life.
    Psychology is behind everything. You are your thoughts, habits, emotions, and actions. Everything you say and do has a direct impact on your life. Derek Jordan injects this fuel into his lyrics. With the instrumental aspects, he fuses a collection of blues rock, swing, folk and heavy rock elements.
    You can expect Derek Jordan’s music to be unpredictable and ever-evolving as he continues his musical quest and personal mission to awaken and enlighten individual minds. To Derek, individuality is what is missing and he wants you to reclaim it.

  • Holly Stephey Talks to Peter Sterling And the Music of Angels!
    There have been timeless musicians throughout history whose hands seem to be guided by unseen forces. Possessing unexplainable musical genius, the exquisite beauty of their songs have delighted and mystified audiences the world over, somehow connecting us closer to heaven. Peter Sterling is one such musical treasure. A harpist of world-class skill, Peter's eclectic music continues to touch the lives of thousands around the world.
    His unusual and inspiring story truly began during a series of life-altering divine encounters while living outdoors in the peaceful solitude of Sedona, Arizona's Red Rock canyons. Spending countless hours at its sacred vortex sites practicing yoga and meditation amidst the brilliant scenery and vast silence, Peter one day experienced a genuine spiritual vision of angelic beings in a heavenly choir surrounding him. In this profound vision, Peter saw himself strumming a harp and allowing divine music to flow through him. Although Peter showed considerable musical talent as a child, having played the piano by ear and then dabbling with the flute and guitar over the years, music had not been a prevalent part of his life. Overwhelmed by the grandeur of this angelic experience, Peter waited for the next series of synchronicities to guide his choices.
    A week later, Peter met an accomplished harpist who was selling a Celtic harp. Quickly acquiring the instrument and receiving one brief music lesson, Peter retreated back to the canyons to allow the music of the harp to flow through him.
    Immediately his prayers were answered as he began to instinctively strum chords and simple melodies. "It was as if my hands knew what to do," . It wasn't long before the beginning melodies matured into distinct songs, closely resembling the heavenly tones he once heard among the silence of the canyons.

  • Holly Stephey Talks to Jeffrey Appling (Rings that rock!)
    Just as the painter/artist communicates their art form with colorful pigments applied to canvas, Jeffrey's colorful medium is Mother Nature’s finest and brightest colored gemstones. My unique art form is both exotic and daring, lending each piece to be strategically fashioned for optimum visibility and comfort while utilizing precision artistry.
    Jeffery says
    I have an enthusiastic and everlasting drive to make sure my designs help women stand out as individuals and express their life’s enjoyments freely. The museum quality masterpieces I assemble are at the forefront of expressionism in the highest order. Every colorful creation is geared to attract attention while creating excitement for the wearer and for the admirer.
    The “Bigger than Life” passionate designs stem from my diverse background as an Art Historian, Gemologist, Jewelry Appraiser, Gem Cutter, and my typical love for living in the moment.
    My fashion forward original designs are intended to supersede most outdated thought processes, providing an outlet for expressionism, ultimately leading to heartfelt visual communication. The high impact wearable art I create transcends a powerful feeling of emotion while authenticating every single masterpiece as a premier jewelry design of tomorrow.
    Comfort, balance, and “Wide-Eyed Amazement” are the key ingredients I provide for each Extreme Design. The lack of using unsightly and annoying prong work allows my work to be repair free for decades to come and enables a higher degree of active wear without the discomfort of catching on fabrics. The fluid collaboration between the gemstones and metal enables a harmonious presence, thus validating the materials used were meant for one another.
    The extreme jewelry artist cares little about the initial purpose of the piece and is focused on the realization of what could be!
