Dash Davis

This Bahamas based artist has just released a new single, "The Greatest Show On Earth."  It is a great hip hop listen, and makes you hope this songwriter keeps writing.

Jelixa

It isn't enough for this artist to create her own music, she decided to create her own genre too.  Her 21st century pop/electronic style of music is so unique, she calls it "Beta Music" instead of trying to fit it into some other cookie cutter genre.

Monty The Space Poet

Listening to Monty The Space Poet is like being on a time machine that doesn't quite know where to go.  He brings you back to the 1960s with his great classic rock sound, then yanks you into the '90s  with a punkier style, and back and forth you go as he transitions from electronic to acoustic and back again.

This music can fool you into thinking that it is just another shoegazing "nature sound" band, until the gorgeous lyrics take over.

Talk about versatility, this actress/model/songwriter/performer does it all, without sacrificing the quality of her music.  In between acting in "Get Him To The Greek" and modeling on the Sports Illustrated Red Carpet, she produces great Las Vegas rock/pop music with a powerful voice.
