The music industry in China has significantly changed over the past couple of
decades, from a tightly government-controlled propaganda pipeline into an
increasingly powerful and sophisticated economic sector. Spearheading the way in
China's entertainment industry is Kenny Bloom, music veteran of over 30 years,
and Founder and CEO of VisiTek Holdings, Ltd. Born in New York City, Mr. Bloom,
at age 56, has accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime, and he has
no plans of slowing his pace. To say that his list of accomplishments is
impressive would be a gross understatement.
A winner of the Lincoln Center Award for Music Achievement at age 15, Bloom
attended both Julliard and Manhattan Schools of Music Prep Departments. He
joined Atlantic Records in 1977 (a subsidiary of the Warner Music Group) and
launched KB communications in 1984, one of the first entertainment marketing
companies. He formed a joint venture with China Film (China's film monopoly) in
1988 and secured the China license for the Warner Music library, which led to
the first foreign owned PRC record company since 1949. Over the years, Bloom
went on to produce numerous radio shows, television programs, concerts by
internationally renowned artists, soundtracks, and Broadway plays. He is widely
recognized as a major player in the entertainment industry.
One might wonder if Bloom would be ready to ride on his reputation for a while,
coasting through the years to come after having such an illustrious career. But
nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, Bloom is moving faster,
striking harder with a bold strategy to become a leading content producer.
Leading the charge is MOGO (http://www.mogo.com.cn/), a video site covering the
emerging independent music scene in China to the young, hip (undeserved) urban
music consumer.
I had an opportunity to interview Mr. Bloom regarding his past, and his vision
for the future. It was one of the most enlightening, thought provoking, and
inspirational interviews I've ever had the pleasure of doing.
Q: You've had over 20 years experience in the Chinese music business, beginning
with the launch of Warner Music China. What are some of the unique
characteristics that have shaped its development?
For one thing, massive piracy. The only business left now is ringtones and live
shows. That said, there are more artists now then every before. 20 years ago
there were half a dozen big pop stars and 4 rock bands. Now there are scores of
pop stars and well over 300 working rock bands.
Q: So what's sustaining that growth in the face of piracy?
Basically, live shows. The entire industry is going through a global transition.
China is no different in that regard.
Q: There's been a lot of talk about the recent WTO decision opening the Chinese
market to more Western entertainment, including music. The RIAA reaction to the
decision was to state: "Enhancing the ability of the U.S. creative community to
do business in China will generate needed revenue and jobs to the U.S. economy."
This seems to fly in the face of the piracy problem. But having said that, do
you believe that the decision will at least result in an increase in the
international repertoire's share of the overall market?
China's music market has a 98% mandarin language repertoire. It's what they
like. The WTO decision is certainly not going to change the musical tastes of
the Chinese consumers. And why should China embrace western music in a language
they don't understand. Does the West embrace Chinese music? That's a totally
open market. This has been an inane concept for quite some time, that every
market has a pent up demand for Western culture. In a way, it sends a very
disturbing message that "your culture is not as relevant".
Q: Let's discuss the latest western invasion in China - Google's oPhone vs.
Apple's iPhone, China Mobile vs. China Unicom... While the iPhone launch in
China thus far has been disappointing, it is turning into a new platform being
seized by indie bands and labels to release content and manage their fan base.
How will the smart phone impact the Chinese music business?
It will be a long time before smart phones are in the hands of the "average"
Chinese consumer. They are just too expensive to have a huge impact outside of
business applications.
Q: But, the Chinese are super-status oriented and there is an upper-middle urban
class. Why, when these products are launched in China, would they not be
successful - especially with 400 million mobile users?
Even with 400 million users, you are talking about a relatively small percentage
of the population who are upper-middle urban class. Out of the total population,
maybe 3% can be classified as such. And they're not necessarily listening to
music, certainly not Western music.
Q: Pepsi has been making big moves in China with their nationally televised
Battle of the Bands "Vox Rock" and launch of their music label QMusic. Is Pepsi
really serious about supporting the independent Chinese music scene? And if so,
is this a model that will have legs in China (i.e., might we someday listen to
Tsingtao's latest buzz band)?
It is essential that corporate sponsors support the music industry. We are now
seeing more of it focused on rock and hip-hop. But we also need local media to
embrace those musical styles in order to build the consumer base. Otherwise,
sponsors won't be able to quantify their investment in music that is outside of
the mainstream.
Q: Isn't QMusic much more than sponsorship? They're talking about developing and
launching new bands, like Starbucks Hear Music.
Let's see what they do. It's still too early to make judgments as they have not
yet started their operations.
Q: I have one final question for you. Mogo is something of a 21st century
MTV-like pioneer in China. You are creating original and professionally produced
WebTV content (not user-generated), in support of the emerging independent scene
(art, music...). That's difficult enough in the West. What are some of the
unique challenges you face the consumer, the government, advertisers?
It's China's own home-grown music TV station and all parties have been very
supportive. The biggest challenge we are facing is finding qualified staff.
Every company has problems finding experienced workers. Don't forget, the modern
era of China is only 30 years old with most of the development coming in the
past 10. The word of the day is "patience". It will all happen, but it will
happen on China's terms.

EuroSonic Noorderslag is Europe's biggest and most important live music industry
conference and showcase festival and following on from the success of artists
such as Ida Maria and Casiokids this year's edition will focus on Norway. Taking
place in the Netherlands from 14th 16th January 2010, EuroSonic Noorderslag
will transform the city of Groningen into a melting pot of Europe's best new
European talent, ready to be discovered by both music lovers as industry
professionals.
Each year EuroSonic Noorderslag focuses on a particular European country
featuring performances by the best artists and dedicating conference topics to
its music industry. 2010 will be the year of Norway. With its vibrant music
scene, Norway offers a wide variety of the best music, ranging from hard rock to
pop, from indie-dance to Norwegian metal. Confirmed artists so far are: Audrey
Horne, Bernhoft, Donkeyboy, Monolithic and Rockettothesky.
In addition to the Norwegian focus, over 200 bands from all over Europe are
scheduled to play at the event, all hoping to impress the festival promoters and
booking agents in the audience. Confirmed acts include; Agent Fresco (IC), Choir
of Young Believers (DK), Deolinda (PT), Everything Everything (GB), Go Back To
The Zoo (NL), Gösta Berling Saga (SE), Jasper Erkens (BE), Joensuu 1685 (FI),
Lee Everton (CH), Lucy Love (DK), Moke (NL), Rigby (NL), Sliimy (FR), So I Watch
You From Afar (IR), Svjata Vatra (EE), Tim Knol (NL), Waylon (NL) and Wickeda
(BG).
As the exchange and support of new music in Europe is one of the main goals of
EuroSonic Noorderslag, the special European Talent Exchange Program (ETEP) was
introduced in 2003. Each year ETEP brings together the leading European
festivals, radio and other media and stimulates them to `exchange' a selection
of artists. 2009 set a new record! 214 shows, with 75 European artists from 18
countries performing at 54 ETEP festivals in 20 countries. A grand total of 965
shows by 346 European artists since 2003. More information at http://www.etep.nl
Acts that have gone onto success and gain numerous festival gigs after
performing at EuroSonic Noorderslag include; Blood Red Shoes (GB), Goose (BE),
Kaizers Orchestra (NO), Lykke Li (SE), Pete Philly & Perquisite (NL), Seeed
(DE), Yelle (FR) with the White Lies (GB) clocking up a massive fifteen bookings
from ETEP member festivals.
"We didn't feel any pressure at EuroSonic Noorderslag this year. At the end of
the day, it doesn't matter what job title each member of the audience has, they
are still potential fans and still have the ability to be moved and excited by
your music. The whole event is in the beautiful town of Groningen and has a
great vibe that comes with all early shows in bands careers. It just so happened
that after our show, some of the audience became fans and thus asked us to play
on some of the festivals and shows that they book and that was very flattering.
From that show we were allowed to discover some beautiful areas of Europe over
the summer. Parts of Southern Norway, Sweden and even as far as the Czech
Republic and Poland. We feel lucky to have played, and proud we won some new
fans." Charles Cave, White Lies (GB)
'EuroSonic Noorderslag is an important event for any band who wants to get
gigging in mainland Europe. Tonnes of fun and seriously worthwhile.' James Yuill
(GB)
"EuroSonic Noorderslag is one of those weird showcase things you do but feel
uncomfortable about because it's crawling with music industry types and not many
real people, a bit like SXSW. But much like SXSW, if you do a good job of it,
you get some way cool stuff out of it. We found that we got offered a lot of
good festival slots and started to sell out our Dutch club shows really quickly
after doing it, so I reckon it was worth it. It's also in a really fucking cool
town." Blood Red Shoes (GB)
"It's quite simple: we made a car called De Staat, and EuroSonic Noorderslag was
our ticket to the freeway. Sure, we've done our share of dirt roads, playing
local bars and small festivals. People might have heard of De Staat, but
EuroSonic Noorderslag really got the thing moving. After our showcases we
started playing clubs, and before we could hear one bird whistle, we were set
for the summer. Festivals like Pinkpop, Lowlands, Dour, The Great Escape and
Sziget are now gigs we can proudly brag about." De Staat (NL)

Hollywood, CA-November 17, 2009-When B.B. King told Arthur Adams "I love the
spirit in your guitar playing," you knew that the bluesman was on his way.
With the release of Stomp on the Floor today on the respected blues based label
Delta Groove Music, Arthur Adams has positioned himself perfectly to satisfy his
current fan base and gain legions of new listeners.
Adams says "I've done Stomp The Floor exactly the way I feel it. It's all me;
not all traditional blues, not all R & B, not all jazz, but a little of all of
it."
Although blues is the foundation of the new release the eclectic approach to the
recording will allow it to crossover and bring a much broader based audience
than one particular genre is capable of.
Arthur Adams was born on Christmas, 1940 in Medon, Tennessee. He made his debut
in church at the age of six and he has been performing and recording for
decades. His first album It's Private Tonight was released in 1972 and Stomp The
Floor is his seventh solo release after enjoying the success of the critically
acclaimed Soul of the Blues in 2004. It is anticipated the new offering will
continue to garner the same approval and reverence.
"His vocalizing has a sweet, soulful quality ala Robert Cray or at times Bobby
Bland. And his electric six string takes definite cues from his idol B.B.
King."- All Music Guide
Tracks such as "Stomp The Floor", "Don't Let The Door Hit You" and "You Can't
Win For Losing" are destined to become concert favorites and classics of the
genre with the passing of time.
Arthur Adams is larger than life and so is his music. Stomp on the Floor is a
testament to his love for the blues, hard work and the true grit and tenacity to
make each song come alive inside the music.

Axemaster is officially changing its name to INNER TERROR. Although the
name Axemaster has a rich history that dates back to the middle 80's, the
band decided that their new lineup, more modern sound, and greatly improved
writing and performance created the need for a change and a fresh start. A
decision that will allow them to break away from the old and concentrate on
the new.
The band's new Myspace page can be found at
_www.myspace.com/theinnerterror_ (http://www.myspace.com/theinnerterror) .
There, along with the one
downloadable track that was available on the previous page, are 2 newly

Announced as part of several new features, including We7 and Spotify links, the
every genre, every angle music platform has been growing in popularity since its
launch earlier this year.
"Premium content is and will always be our focal point, but having the addition
of quality content pouring into Rivmixx from all over the web will add another
layer of engagement for our community," explained MD, Danny Mac.
Not only does Rivmixx provide at least twenty news worthy features each month -
that's more than many magazines produce in a year - it also puts forward all the
latest albums reviews, the latest technology tried and tested, cool websites
offered up for perusal and now, as well as its own hand penned news, it provides
aggregated news from the most popular music sites in every genre. Blues, reggae,
jazz, country, R&B, hip hop, dance, rock, pop and other all have their very own
sections, all of which run a steady stream of news from the most popular sites.
"We7 and Spotify links have now been added to our editorial too," continued
Danny Mac. "This allows users to stream their favourite artists whilst browsing
Rivmixx.com"
Any album, feature or news item mentioned within Rivmixx links through to the
tracks on Spotify or We7 - allowing music fans to not only listen to the latest
music for free, but also get the information surrounding them, professional
reviews and a chance to add their own comments. In many cases there's interviews
with the artists themselves too and the opportunity to become a fan and then
receive all the artist's own news, blog posts and video/track/image updates.
Any fan that signs up to Rivmixx automatically gets their own 'mymixx', which is
an individually tailored magazine that's produced by the artists - latest news,
music, videos, blogs and events - and includes the latest news and album reviews
as posted by Rivmix itself. It's another, unique magazine created by the fan for
the fan, produced by their favourite artists.
Rivmixx, which launched earlier this year, has been growing steadily, in
content, design, and communication. The company has proved itself as something
of a taste making voice too, with several hot new acts including Florence and
the Machine, Speech Debelle and Toddla T - profiled and channelled through
Rivmixx, going on to find serious success within the industry.
Chart topping artists such Chase & Status, The Flaming Lips and Robbie Williams
are also featured. And now, with the addition of this new aggregated news

Brooklyn, NY, November 17, 2009 - Brooklyn recording sensation LaKid Wise is
setting a new standard for the musical genre we call "Hip-Rock", the fusion of
rhythmic and poetic rap with hard, edgy and guitar-filled rock. While working on
his debut album, LaKid Wise is releasing a promotional giveaway mix album titled
"Enter The Movement" available for direct download on
http://www.TheHipRockStar.com as of November 24, 2009.
"Enter The Movement" will feature original works such as "Hustler", "Breaking
Down" and various renditions and tributes to classics such as the late Michael
Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and the Beatles' "Yesterday". America's listeners
have been waiting for something different to hit the airwaves. Although Hip-Rock
had its years of rise with acts such as Limp Bizkit and Rage Against The Machine
it has never stayed consistent with today's top charts. It is a substantial
challenge to revive this genre and keep it stable but this mixtape stands as a
great starting point.
"Bringing two of the most influential genres together is not going to be easy
but with the support of the people, anything is possible," says LaKid Wise.
"Music is universal. My work is about more than creating a unified sound. It is
about sending a message."
LaKid Wise has been composing music since age eleven. Still rocking at
twenty-one, he has drawn creative inspiration from the great artists we know in
modern entertainment. From immigrating to New York City as a young child,
interning at Roc-a-fella Records as a high-school student and releasing two
independent albums in his teenage years, LaKid Wise is stepping outside of the
box to redefine commercial music.

New York City, NY- FiZ recently formed a non-profit organization called Notes
For Life. Notes For Life is a non-profit organization that raises money for
charities that help physically challenged children. News 12 TV recently covered
one of his monthly performances at the Carmen Road School on Long Island. With
his unique skill, FiZ engages and involves the children in his songs as he sings
directly to them there by created a large fan base. They wear FiZ T-shirts at
every one of his performances and scream out his name. His goal is to create a
spiritually healing effect. http://www.notesforlife.org/
FiZ and Notes For Life hosted the first annual benefit MUSIC AND MEDIUMS on
November 11, 2009 at the West Sayville Country Club. All proceeds will go to
"The Golden Fund for Autism."
FiZ is in the process of creating a new FiZ TV project. He will be intertwining
the arts with spirituality. FiZ will interview people who are making positive
impact in the world. Whether it is a mother who supports her autistic son's
vocal abilities, a CEO of a company that is responsible for implementing
fundraisers for people in need and anyone in the arts who make positive
contributions to the world. FiZ TV is a platform for FiZ to discuss his music,
spirituality, and other topics. The first two episodes feature FiZ discussing
spiritual topics such as "The Secret" and "Law of Attraction." On the next
episode of FiZ TV, FiZ interviews a child named Anthony who is both blind and
autistic. To see more shows go to http://www.fizband.com/fiztv.html
FiZ has acquired the tagline "PEACE.LUV.MUSIC." to promote his vision of music
as a way for healing people. FiZ says, "I have always associated rock 'n roll
with healing the world and playing a part of it. It was never separate. It was
always connected."
"D'Mattia's album is a well-produced pop-rock album with some sick guitar lines
and soulful vocals." - Terence Edwards from DEMOLITION
"Whatever sleight of hand FiZ uses on the disc is magic. The songs are warm and
filled with promise." - Rikki Lana
"Motivated, engaging, exciting and above all, talented is how I would describe
this up and coming musical visionary." - Maria Bolaris from FOLK IT
Music has long been a part of FiZ's life. At seven years old, when most kids are
jumping around on playgrounds and watching cartoons, Tony D'Mattia could be
found in a rocking chair, eyes closed, listening to The Beatles albums for hours
on end. He envisioned himself becoming a rock artist and healing people with his
music. As he got older, the prolific songwriter became familiar with instruments
such as the guitar, keyboard, and mandolin. At age 12, he wrote the first of an
estimated 1,000 songs. FiZ's songs absorbed multiple genres from Motown to Rod
Stewart to Led Zeppelin. For his brand new album, FiZ brought in former Wings
drummer Steve Holly and veteran producer Bob Stander for collaboration. Stander
bolstered FiZ's natural gift for songwriting, a combination of
stream-of-consciousness lyrics and songs based on self-imposed writing
exercises. FiZ has recorded and self-produced two previous albums, Transcending
and Right Where You Are. Throughout his music FiZ's message is always spiritual,
hopeful, and brimming with an eternal optimism.

***
From this week's pair of shows, my favorites out of RCB Novus Ordo easily are:
HuDost, with a breezy experimental style of folk/electronica, Amy Lynn & The
Gunshow, an exciting theatrical pop singer, and Mike Zito and his gritty take on
the blues. I think my favorite sequence of songs from Radio Crystal Blue proper
was the one early on with Meg Braun, The Defibulators, and Kathy Fleischmann.
It's so hard to pick 3, let alone one sequence of three. Seriously, give it a
listen. I think you'll like what you hear.
THE BLOG (remember this guy?) is getting a new name and a new focus: I have a
bunch of pursuits outside music and radio that occupy my time. The more
interesting material will make it to the blog. One area is biorhythmic study of
people in the news. Biorhythms, in the briefest layman's terms, measure human
cycles and potential. You can see my take on the big boxing match for this
weekend plus a look at this year's World Series player-by-player. I'm weird like
that. Lots of add on a daily basis given time and creativity. I probably will
adjust this daily starting on Sunday.

PHOTOS:
I attended one event in the last 7 days, a pre-birthday band gig helmed by Jessi
Robertson, as part of the periodic Local Correspondents showcase series. The
event was held at the most logical, thoughtful bar in Brooklyn: Bar Matchless.
Most places never get their feng shui right. This one comes very close. If only
the music room was brighter. Here's evidence:

FIELD RECORDINGS:
I'm available to record live events in the Northeast. I have a reliable audio
recorder that gets used without the use of the sound board.
The rotation of the segments from this show is dwindling and I'm aggressively
seeking opportunity in this department. In fact, I've got one such gig tonight.
We'll see how it goes.

AIRPLAY:
Submissions (CD, mp3s) must be dated 2009. .mp3s can be emailed. Older CDs will
be considered for the rotation but will NOT get a featured debut on Radio
Crystal Blue Novus Ordo (the program devoted to new material). If you plan to
send more than 2 .mp3s at once, please send a CD of these mp3 instead.
Be aware that in 2010 I will be moving and there will be an unidentifiable
period of time where I will not be on the air. If there are CDs waiting to be
spun, I will probably do some extra versions of RCB Novus Ordo to accommodate
all inquiries.

acclaim from all who attended the event.
Watch "Wrap MC's" on YouTube:

"[The video] is a conceptual curveball thrown at the music industry that depicts
[his] efforts to unwrap the prepackaged 'Hip-Pop' and 'One Hit Wonder' reality
that exists in the music industry today, as well as challenge the creativity of
fellow artists to bring back the era of substantial, meaningful and conceptual
music," says REGA of "Wrap MC's."
Combining his drive and passion, REGA is sure to make his mark in the music
world with his take on hip-hop. His music can be found on popular music retailer
sites such as iTunes, Amazon, and Rhapsody. REGA's promotional album, "My Life

The wait is over! Bethany and Rufus Roots Quartet's new CD "Live A Fip" -
released in Europe - is a master collaboration between the group Bethany and
Rufus (Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia), Haitian Percussionist 'Bonga'
Jean-Baptiste, and singer/flautist Yacouba Moumouni. The CD gets its name from
the "Live A Fip" radio series, where they were invited to perform while doing a
promotional spot for Radio France. The song "Iraq" is one that will touch your
emotions, arouse your senses, and open your heart and mind to an experience
beyond measure. Cappadocia's cello sings out, cries out, imploring you to
listen. It is a very powerful track indeed, conveying the sorrow and plight of
an impoverished, enraged land. The erratic, aggressive cello playing over soft
acoustic guitar, gets the song's point across without uttering a single word.
Listen To 'Iraq': http://soundcloud.com/musicdish/iraq
"The level of musical brilliance reached by Rufus Cappadocia in "Iraq" left me
speechless. His cello becomes reminiscent of mournful sorrow and wailing cry
that extracts emotion like nothing else. This instrumental piece highlights both
music and musician at their best..."

Tycoon Dynasty Entertainment announced the release of "So Faded," the debut
single from rapper Face Black Rose. "So Faded" is the first track to be released
from his upcoming EP "The Year Of The Rose".
"Face Black Rose is different from other artists and albums of the same genre,"
noted manager Tracy B. of Tycoon Dynasty Entertainment. "Like many rappers, he
writes his own lyrics based on his own personal life experiences, as well as the
struggles of friends and family members. But that's where the comparison ends.
His sound is quite unique; it's a merging of blues and techno with rap."
A native New Yorker, Face Black Rose has an opinion about his music as well,
"When my mother died, I had a lot of anger in me, and it scared me to a point
where I knew I had to channel it in some way. Music helped me do that. That's
why I feel people can relate to me - because just like all the greats - Sam
Cook, Matilda Jackson, Biggie, 2Pac, Jay Z, and 50 cents - I put my heart on the
line with my music. There is passion in every note I sing and every verse I
rap."
Although his debut single is just being released, Face Black Rose is not new to
the music scene. Performing for the last two years, he has worked with music
industry veterans Ja Rule, News, Producer Boodah Monk, and Havoc from the
Infamous Mobb Deep.
"So Faded" is now available for purchase. The 10 track EP, "The Year of the
Rose" is expected to debut around Spring of 2010 on the independent label Tycoon
Dynasty Records.

Stephen Michael Apatow's latest track, "If You Loved Me," is an uplifting song
that testifies to this artist's passion for humanitarianism and the grassroots
fight against poverty. "If You Loved Me" features a driving beat behind ambient
synthesized tones and rich chords. The piece builds to a thumping, danceable
groove under the heartfelt lyrics. If this tune does one thing, it shows how
passionate Apatow is for his music and, more importantly, for his cause.

"Thorns On A Crown" is by far her most mature work to date. In the current etch
and sketch environment of musicians singing to beats generated by machines, it
is refreshing to find an artist who wholeheartedly exudes meaning and truth, a
feat that only a genuine musician can accomplish. She may be considered a
newcomer to the music industry, but there is enough raw passion, talent, and
promise on "Thorns On A Crown" to say definitively that Kirsten DeHaan will
around for many years to come.
"Thorns On A Crown" Tracklisting:
1) 1984
"1984" skillfully maneuvers its way from beginning to end as DeHaan puts her
vocal range along with a knack for soothing tones to good use, singing in a
soft, but gutsy manner. The guitar playing over a catchy beat works well with
her voice to produce a sultry and graceful fusion of folk and rock.
2) Double Or Nothing
DeHaan produces a well-crafted, solid folk-rock tune with passionate delivery
over a foot-tapping guitar melody in "Double Or Nothing." The sharpness of her
lyrics and gritty tone gives the song a freshness That will keep any listener
engaged, even after multiple plays.
3) The Night Shift
"The Night Shift" delves into the very familiar territory of love as DeHaan's
candor and humility together make this song easy to relate to. DeHaan's voice
captures the feelings of a woman waiting and thirsting for love. Even the
silences between notes seem to shout out her vulnerability.
4) I'm Coming Home
A piercing harmonica complements the delicacy in DeHaan's sweet voice in "I'm
Coming Home." The layered sound and musicality gives a classic rock feel that is
emphasized by the 'call and response' between DeHaan and the harmonica.
5) Ms. Daisy
"Ms. Daisy" builds a sweet melody around the idea of hope. Initially, the song
seems inconspicuous and gentle, but DeHaan's voice is so melodious and colorful,
it quickly works its way into the listener's heart and soul.
About Kirsten DeHaan
Kirsten DeHaan is a true jack of all musical trades. Not just a talented
singer/songwriter and guitarist, she promotes her music via her label SirLady

East, and is a strong and active proponent of the New York indie music scene.
DeHaan stomped onto the indie music scene to rave reviews in 2004 with her first
album release "Conform." Critics compared her music to that of Nirvana, U2, and
Belly. Her music has been downloaded over 1 million times via various
peer-to-peer sites and featured on the hit reality shows Made and My Super Sweet
Sixteen. Declaring "Conform" to be one of the most popular records next to the

chosen for Men's Vogue/Hennessey Flaunt Your Taste Critics Choice Awards.
