Fortunately, with enough passion, talent, and hard work, the French piano prodigy Vincent Lanty has positioned himself as one of the biggest global artists in the world of music today.

Vincent Lanty began his foray into music at an early age. The seasoned musician had shown an affinity for playing music when he was a young boy.

His passion and interest for music only grew from then on, allowing him to hone his craft through years and years of experience.

The talented musician’s education focused solely on music, allowing him to master his craft through the years. He studied at the Conservatoire Superior of Music after being accepted at the institute when he was just seven years old. He garnered First Prize Honors when he graduated from the world-renowned music school in France, ATLA. 

Once he graduated, Vincent Lanty played at the most prestigious venues in France, such as Le Duc Des Lombards, a legendary Jazz Club. He also had a lot of mainstream television experience after he was invited to appear on “Star Academy,” France’s biggest entertainment television show, which garnered seven million viewers on average that year. Among those seven million viewers was pop icon Rihanna’s manager, Marc Jordan, who saw Vincent’s splendid performance and was immediately captivated by the young man’s musical talent.

This opportunity led to many television opportunities for the budding artist and became a gateway for him to work with many more French and international artists. Since then, Vincent Lanty collaborated with many world-renowned directors, producers, singers as well as A-list industry composers who each trusted his creativity and deep understanding of contemporary arrangements.

Throughout his musical career, Vincent Lanty has been expanding his range of capabilities, running studio sessions with orchestras, and leading live bands for major television shows like The Voice From 2015 to 2018. He was also hired as Musical Director and Lead Pianist on Résiste, France’s biggest musical ever, with more than 200 shows across the country.

In 2015, Vincent Lanty was asked by French hip-hop and R&B superstar Vitaa to join her team as musical director and pianist. They worked alongside each other for over four years, during which he created original arrangements and led the band on more than 100 shows for Vitaa’s sold-out tour “J4M” (2016–2019). Since then, he has become the #1 consultant and musical expert for the renowned artist.

Determined to further grow his personal brand, Vincent Lanty relocated to California in 2019, hoping to reach an even bigger audience as a global artist. Since he came to the United States, the talented musician has caught the attention of the top music advertising agency in the world, SIZZER. The company offered to represent the talented artist, allowing him to reach a global audience with his music.

It’s clear to see that Vincent Lanty is destined to be at the top of the music industry. His talent and sheer experience within the industry and rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in the global music scene has propelled him to the top, and he’s just getting started.

Bri Blvck Announces Her Presence in the Music Scene with an Infective Pop Song, “Paper”

Many music careers have been birthed in the past year, and while some have gotten duly recognized and hit the spotlight fully, many others haven’t gotten quite the attention they deserve. Violinist and performer Bri Blvck falls into the latter category, and the burgeoning talent is set to prove to the world how much talent is embedded in her through her most recent single, “Paper.”

Bri Blvck’s artistry is one characterized by utmost attention to detail and biding of time. She spent years perfecting her craft and getting it right before she released “Paper,” which is bound to serve as a gateway for fans to see her immense talent. The Charlotte, North Carolina-bred musical talent started music as early as when she was five years old. Her earliest music experience started in church and playing the violin in an orchestra. Music was an integral part of her life growing up, and she took full advantage of the inspiration and creative energy she was surrounded with. Now her years of developing her music skills are about to launch her into a life of stardom, inspiration, and impact.

Coming from a musical family with a pianist for a mother and two brothers who sing and play instruments, towing the music path was natural for Bri Blvck. Being surrounded by people who understood her music and what it stood for was all the motivation she needed to pursue her dreams, and today, she’s living that dream where her music can be discovered by people globally. Her new song, “Paper,” features elements of impeccable production and the song, a catchy pop sound, is laced with hi-fi vocal harmonies to refine the sound.

“Paper” is a detailed record that proves how much Bri Blvck is committed to quality. And coming three years after her last release on any major platform, this song is a great way to make a re-entry into the music scene. Bri Blvck is undoubtedly an artist worth looking out for. The raging pandemic played a huge role in helping Bri Blvck get deeper into her element. Even though there was lingering uncertainty about the state of the creative space, she remained relentless by channeling the pent-up energy from the lockdown to create a masterpiece that “Paper” is.

With summer winding up and Winter just around the corner, “Paper” is that type of song to keep the memories of summer alive while maintaining a positive mindset at the same time. For Bri Black, getting her music heard is top on her priority and hopefully gains as much traction as possible for her next single or body of work, depending on how her creative juices flow. “Paper” has become one of the song discoveries of the year, and for an artist who hasn’t released any music on major platforms like Spotify and Apple music in the last few years, this is quite a noteworthy return.

For Bri Black, getting noticed is just a step; sustaining the attention is where the real work lies. Over the next few years, she wants to make music for everyone to enjoy while she continues showing off and showing out the talent and skills she possesses as an artist.

Knowing where one is from inspires many things, and part of those things is a destination after the long journey. Yeshua Alexander has taken his destiny into his hands with his music career and is doing things according to his terms and by his rules.

The Atlanta rapper made musical headlines a few months ago by releasing eleven albums in a single day. After a little over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Yeshua Alexander put out everything he’d been working on and made the news with it. Explaining the reason behind the move, Yeshua Alexander said he wanted the world to hear his music and a lot of it. He also remains the only artist in the world to have made such a move, and even more interestingly, the albums are in different genres. As a follow-up for the albums, he has released a few singles, “Born Guilty,” featuring Boosie BadAzz, “Lies,” featuring Tony Michael and has promised to release upcoming singles, “My Letter To You, I’m Sorry,” featuring Casely and “My Time,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert.

Yeshua Alexander’s foray into music was borne out of self-love and the determination to do things differently for himself and his family. Also, at the age of seven, he met James Brown and shook his hand, and years later, he had the opportunity of meeting rapper P Diddy, who was hanging out with Blac Rob and Loon. Those moments are his most cherished moments, and they informed his decision to go into music and pursue stardom. “I told myself I would be a star just like them, if not bigger, and here we are today building the process,” Yeshua said.

Yeshua draws inspiration from everyone and everything around him. In his words, “I am like a sponge soaking it all in. It’s all about energy. Energy is everything. That’s God! How can one fail with that?” 

As an independent multi-genre musician, attaining legendary status is top on his list as he hopes to get heard globally. He hopes to minister, inspire, educate, enlighten, and entertain with his music. With the number of songs he has out now, he believes everyone can find something that suits them even though he still has new materials soon to be released.

Beyond music, Yeshua Alexander has his sights set on business as he plans to release his signature sneakers merchandise and action figure toys. He wants his influence to cut across and impact people’s lives in different ways. With his success, Yeshua plans to give back to the world by uplifting the less fortunate, revamping neighborhoods, providing medication and empowerment for the youth, and generally doing his bit to improve people’s lives. A large part of his life was marked by lack and a challenging environment. He grew up in the ghetto, and overcoming the struggles that came with it is a win for him, one that he intends to replicate for as many as possible. “I want to impact generations and change their stories. It might take a while, but the journey has started already,” he affirmed.Learn more about Yeshua Alexander on his official Instagram page and watch the video of his single “Lies” on YouTube.

Frederick Tabiyus Nah IV Holds No Bounds through Pandemic, Becoming Successful in Both the Film and Music Industry

To succeed in a single industry is already an arduous task alone, but to thrive in two is near impossible, especially during an unprecedented pandemic. While there are plenty of people who aspire to succeed in two endeavors, only a few can actually push through. Frederick Tabiyus Nah IV is one of the few who have been successful in their endeavors. Although he has been in the music and film industry for some time, Tabiyus is ready to take the world by storm and step into the spotlight.

Throughout his career, Tabiyus has become an emerging force in the Los Angeles entertainment industry. Back by his extensive resume and repertoire, the young musician and film industry figure has made a name for himself away from the spotlight. Even in the uncertainty of Covid 19, Tabiyus has managed to push through and impact on and off screen. 

Throughout his career, Tabiyus has showcased his musical talent by performing with prestigious brands and  famous music and sports venues in Los Angeles and Atlanta, Georgia. His most recent endeavor saw him on the line up with multi-platinum recording artists Ice Cube, Mario, Miguel, Bryson Tiller, and Polo G at the Display Festival 2021.

Frederick Tabiyus Nah IV has only entered the music industry officially a year ago, but he has already left his mark. His quick succession in the industry has allowed him to stand out from his peers. “Because I’ve entered the music industry within only the last year, I have to position myself with record labels, investors, and with the public,” he explained and added: “I’m putting together a campaign with strong-minded individuals, talented friends, and young talent to formulate a winning strategy and really kick down the door as an international recording artist.”

The rising artist and producer strives to rejuvenate the youth’s imagination through nostalgia as he believes that music cannot live without it. “I want to be part of bringing that timeless music back,” he explained, “You can play my songs 30 years from now and it’s still refreshing like “Don’t Stop Believing” and “Billie Jean.””

Tabiyus attributes his rise to the people who already made up their mind about who he was. For a while, the artist believed until he found his voice.

DJ Chris Angel on His Challenges and Drive to Win with His Talents

The world comes with so much uncertainty that has made many people unwilling to bet on themselves, their talents, or their abilities. This uncertainty had contributed to many people’s stagnancy and lack of significant progress. Christian Younan, also known as DJ Chris Angel, decided very early in his life to live according to his terms without letting anything get in his way.

The former military officer turned music DJ has had numerous twists and turns and made decisions that thrust him on the path he is today. The tenacity instilled in him today became a part of him from a very young age when he started fending for himself at the age of 14. He took his first job as a teenager, watering plants for a coffee shop and juggling two jobs with high school when he was 16. Growing up that way made him grow so quickly that years later, he had already decided what he wanted to do and he had the money to start his chosen journey.

Christian, who describes his upbringing as normal, passed up football practice to go and work for money, and that money was used to purchase equipment that kick-started his career in music. Growing up, he joined the military but later left to pursue his musical career fully. However, he lost himself in the process as anxiety and depression had the better of him, which affected his music.

Choosing not to stay down when beaten or let his weakness become the dominant part of him. Christian got back up, shed all the weight drawing him back, and pursued music with all his might. Over the years, DJ Chris Angel has mastered some tips to keep him at the top of his game and he strongly believes those tips can help anybody succeed at their craft too if they believe in themselves and are hungry to make things happen.

DJ Chris Angel believes in investing in ideas, reading more, and acquiring information from anything and everything, avoiding negative people who do not believe in your dreams, and understanding that every thousand-mile journey starts with a step. Despite all the challenges he has overcome, Christian Younan does not see any loss as a loss but rather as lessons and a new opportunity to do things differently.

Chris gets all his motivation from his fans and audience who push for new materials and tracks from him. According to him, having people like that who support his craft and are eager to see what next he has to offer gives him all the reason to keep working hard in the music industry.

Christian Younan’s goal for the next few years is to achieve success in music and use that success as leverage to empower people who need to be empowered. “There are people who need you, and the great position you’re in is the tool they need to get elevated too. So always look out for those who need empowerment around you and pay your blessings forward,” he said. He also hopes to work with more established people in the industry and project himself onto the big stages.Learn more about DJ Chris Angel on his official Instagram page.

Rising Musician Chad Bushnell Sheds Light on His Rise in the Country Music Scene

Family can play an influence in shaping an individual’s aspirations, even from a young age. In music and entertainment, many modern stars in both industries today followed in the footsteps of their parents or relatives. Likewise, Chad Bushnell has been doing the same, having grown up in a musical family. 

Born and raised in Red Bluff, California, Chad was immediately thrust into the world of music thanks to the influence of his family. “My father performed in a local country band when I was a boy,” he recalled. “I have aunts and uncles on both sides of my family who sing and perform, and my great-grandmother played piano at church.” At four years old, Chad started to join them, playing the guitar and singing.

The young musician took his talents with him beyond the church doors, singing the national anthem at numerous rodeos, football games, and other events. Regardless of where he played, Chad’s parents went with him as his biggest supporters. When the musician grew older, he started expanding his horizons, performing at many fairs, political events, fundraisers, casinos, bars, church functions, and convention centers. Throughout the years, Chad would participate in a number of contests, including the American Country Star competition, coming in as a top 3 finalist and winning the Horizon award in 2014.

Chad Bushnell would go even further, opening for other artists like Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam, Neil McCoy, Billy Currington, and more. When he started on his own, Chad’s first Christian single, “What Would Jesus Do,” reached the top spot on the Christian Music Weekly charts in 2019. His latest single, “That Ain’t My Church,” managed to reach the same level of success. He won the ICMA New Artist of the Year in 2019 and Contemporary Country Vocalist of the Year at the 2020 Josie Music Awards 

Although he is a growing star who shines on the stage, Chad is an introvert when he isn’t standing in front of a mic. “As far as characteristics go, I am somewhat reserved in my personal life,” he explained. “However, I am as outgoing as possible at shows. I like to work the crowd and always love meeting new fans.” 

Chad Bushnell’s career is already indicating that he is set for even greater things, and while the growing fanbase has encouraged him, the musician remains humble and aware of the competitive nature in the industry. Despite the challenge he is faced with, Chad is excited to take on the challenge, believing that the greater the challenge, the better he can improve. With an unwavering drive and a strong work ethic, Chad believes that his qualities can allow him to be distinguishable from other artists.

The rising musician attributes his success to his family’s influence, citing the support of his parents, his little sister’s presence for keeping him grounded, and his uncles, aunts, and grandmother’s influence growing up.

“I feel that growing up around them was what motivated me to build my own style and brand of music and I feel that I can’t stop chasing my dreams until I get where I want to be,” he said.

With his career on the rise, Chad Bushnell hopes to eventually sign a record deal or publishing deal. He foresees opportunities pouring in, giving him the chance to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Additionally, he hopes to take his career on the road, playing shows in the next few years.Learn more about Chad Bushnell by visiting his official YouTube channel.
