Apryl and her siblings were invited to be apart of weekly gospel show in Dallas, Texas on Public Access TV in the early 80’s. Apryl continued singing and won many talents shows and competitions shows. “I started going to junior college in FT. Worth, Texas, I would sing in the hallways, and that is when I ran into a rap group that heard me sing”. Apryl was asked to record a hook for their song that was later aired on K104 radio station in Dallas, Texas. That is when the doors opened for other opportunities with other artist for Apryl to showcase her raw talent. Apryl opened for artist like Mary J Blige and many others. Apryl just didn’t just stop at singing, she wanted to learn the business side of the record industry. That is when Apryl interned for BMG and Jive records. Apryl had the opportunity to write a song for Usher it didn’t make the album but created a love to continue writing and singing. Under new management Apryl completed an EP and was given the chance to open for more artist on a national level. Apryl eventually moved back to the East Coast continuing to work in the record industry for Harry Fox, Wave Records, Dreamworks and Rawkus Record. Apryl had left the music industry due to 9/11 to give more attention to her children. Despite leaving the industry it didn’t change her love and passion to continuing singing and writing. Apryl became engaged in social work encouraging herself to walk out her own journey to healing. Apryl went back to school obtaining a BS in Criminal Justice and a master’s in psychology.

Music was always at the forefront for Apryl. Apryl music speaks about her story of trauma and navigating her pain but also shares her transition for victim to victor. “I just want my music to touch others with healing and love”.

Give Me One Reason is one of my favourite song's by Tracy Chapman. I remember when it came out back in the 90s, I bought the CD and that song was on repeat for days. It seemed only fitting to do a cover of the song and add a little of my own style to it. The track was released today, March 13th.

While in Austin, Texas, Frank Bellucci created his heartfelt music style that blends adult contemporary, singer-songwriter, and retro country music. The many-year effort eventually led to his first commercial album, "Life in the County", released in early 2022 ... and then “The Old Days later” in the year. The lastest album "Come Home" (Feb 1, 2023) was the result of guidance from two recording engineers (one from the UK and one from LA), that dramatically improved the overall sound. Spoiler Alert: A fourth album is in the works for early 2023 which goes even further, deeper, and more dramatic than prior works! Great things are ahead!

For immediate release - March 9, 2023. After making the headlines with the smooth pop-r&b fusion

Nathan Blizzy, best known under his stage name Nate Blizzy, is a versatile singer-songwriter

who was born in Taiwan, and currently resides in New York City.

He began studying violin at age 4, started playing guitar at age 12, and composing and

My name Ahmat DJIBRINE ALIFA. I am a director and songwriter. Founder of Afiya Films. I produce my music, have a singer perform it and direct the video. Afiya is the performer but is not the center of the project which is focused on the video production that accompanies the audio like a soundtrack. Of course the song is available on the platforms but the ultimate goal is to show my creative abilities in the image. To make myself known in this way in the hope of having more opportunities in entertainment.

Mag Dalé's singer-songwriter journey started six years ago, after being blessed with her son through adoption after 10 years of fertility struggles. A native New York and of Haitian descent, she was always passionate about music and singing, taking after her musical parents. She graduated from the LaGuardia High School of Music and Art in New York (the "FAME" school, previously known as High School of Performing Arts), where she focused on dramatic studies, though she was accepted into both the voice and drama programs. She has sung in choruses and small bands, performing in various esteemed venues, such as: Carnegie Hall in New York; the Gasteig Performing Arts Center and the Herkulessaal of the Residenz Palace, in Munich, Germany.

But after the struggles she went through and blessings she received, her purpose became clear – to provide encouragement and motivation through her music to others facing adversity. With her spiritually influenced and inspirational brand of indie soul, she wants to give a musical testimony so others can take heart: "God has helped me so much throughout my life; has blessed me so much - whether it was getting through the heartache of infertility, the miracle of our adopted son, the relationships and people who guide me, overcoming so many painful areas in my life - my heart is overflowing with joy. I have to thank and praise Him, and share that news with others, through my songs". So don't give up! And hold onto faith and hope - it's a hope that does not disappoint.
