Nykole Simone born in Detroit started recording lyrics using a karaoke machine and a tape recorder by using the instrumentals and recording the performance. Nykole's 1st professional recording studio was Demo's 8 mile in Detroit in 2004. That's the year Fantasia won American Idol. Since then Nykole has released 12 albums under the name SHERITA. Sherita changed her name to Nykole Simone as a remembrance of her sister who passed Jan 2011. Timeka's middle name was Simone and Sherita's middle name is Nicole so she combined them changing Nicole to Nykole to make it easier to find on Google. I've worked with several artists who become my closest friends and taught me a lot along the way.

full time practicing attorney and self published author. My latest book, Beaucoup New Orleans, is a collection of works including 18 poems that have since been laid over tracks and published as an album. The book is an exploration of Black Life in New Orleans from a fiercely Africana perspective.

She’s described as a nitty-gritty, country-soul singer because her style is pure country, but she pours her “red dirt” soul into every song. At an early age she believed the red dirt that she played in was clay; and that’s right about the time her mother began teaching her three-part harmony. Like many children, she sang in the youth choir at church and in her high school’s concert choir. Years later, and now in California, she organized and fronted her own band in the nineties and like many bands – the rough spots were too many to overcome.

Although currently optimistic about her life and music, her formative years got off to a rough start. She overcame two bouts of life-threatening, double pneumonia as an infant, and was then hit by a near-fatal case of scarlet fever as a second-grader.

Not letting any of that derail her, the ex-cheerleader, homecoming queen and pageant girl, kept her eye on the prize, and has since released several singles. "My Restraining Order (Won't Do)," is about one more of her true-life, rough spots.

18 years old and I live in a tiny town near Atlanta, Georgia. I am a singer/songwriter and the lyrics to my songs are my autobiography. I aspire to write emotionally relatable stories from my life experiences.

I have been releasing music for less than a year. Please check out all my pop songs on all music platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Kaylin Vela YouTube. My newest song, "Summer Bae" released Friday, June 3rd and I can't wait for you to hear it!

Três Bairros is a Portuguese World Music group that sets itself to take the traditional musicality of the Portuguese Guitar (Ricardo Gama) accompanied by the Guitar (João Correia) and making them into a contemporary and relevant sound. This instrumental background is joined by the voice of Bruno Ribeiro who, breaking the limits of the socially correct, leads the group’s music to new presentations.

Refusing to submit their music to conventional parameters, with which they don’t identify, Três Bairros make their artistic path in the certainty of staying true to their vision and music, however lonely the walk may be. This "1+1", first single of their second work, due June 10th, is their manifesto, their cry of insurgency!

Advocate won't stop speaking for those that have been looked over.

His music is to energize those that don't feel they've had a voice to achieve their God-given dreams.

Inspired by the many musical art forms such as Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock, Gospel, Rhythm and Blues, and even country, Advocate expresses in his music both the familiar and the sacred. A true lover of music and lyrics, he's been writing poetry and songs since the awkward age of 12 where like most young MC's, a love for Hip Hop was cultivated early in childhood.

Now a prolific songwriter, Advocate has penned and recorded over 100 multifaceted, and multi genre songs and continues to release one song per week.

Driven by the pain that is witnessed in the current pop culture of hopelessness and conformity, Advocate creates life affirming music that breathes energy and life into listeners worldwide in a time when so many are speaking death.
