Poker Face Adds New Fresh Cast Members

As excitement builds for Rian Johnson’s upcoming Peacock series Poker Face, MusicObserver has learned that four new actors have been added to an already star-studded cast. Cherry Jones, Luis Guzmán, Hong Chau, and Reed Birney will join an ensemble helmed by Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is The New Black) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, last seen on the small screen playing Uber founder Travis Kalanick in Showtime’s Super Pumped. The show has been billed as a ‘mystery comedy-drama’ and will feature a new case each week. Also signed up are Ron Perlman, Nick Nolte and Simon Helberg – however whether these actors – or any of the new four – will be principal characters or one-off guest stars is a tightly kept secret at this stage.

Casting aces

Getting Guzmán could be seen as a coup for showrunner Johnson. He’s currently the talk of social media through his casting as Gomez in the new Addams Family show, Wednesday. Jones brings with her an assurance of quality – her TV projects have included Black Mirror, Succession and The Handmaid’s Tale, where she won an Emmy for her portrayal of Holly. Poker Face will be Chau’s only TV work of 2022, although she’s been seen on the big screen three times, in The Menu, Showing Up and Brendan Fraser’s return to leading roles, The Whale. Birney has plenty of experience in the mystery genre from two seasons playing Sylvester Lisko in Home Before Dark.

Writing winners

There’s a good reason for Peacock to have gone all in on Johnson with Poker Face. A fall of fantasy with both Game Of Thrones and Lord Of The Rings series may lead viewers to long for the less lavish, and a classic whodunnit might be playing their cards right. His last two movies as a director have been Knives Out, and its sequel, the imminent Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The Agatha Christie-esque storylines and impressive ensemble casts (headed up by Daniel Craig in both flicks) mean Johnson is in familiar territory. The show creator will direct and executive produce Poker Face, although it will be his first foray into writing a TV series. Given he scooped the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Knives Out and the format being self-contained episodes – little movies if you like – any concerns should likely be hastily folded.

Awaiting the deal

Why Poker Face though? With no leaks in potential plotlines (as befits a crime caper) we can only speculate. A poker face, of course, is one of the most popular poker terms, meaning the face one pulls when trying to hide emotions. Could it be referencing a suspect under questioning from a detective? Could it refer to the game itself? Perhaps – but card terminology has always spilled out through to popular entertainment. Think Lady Gaga’s song of the same name, or the classic 1980s-90s sitcom Full House. We can go back as far as 1946 to find Jack Carson and Joan Leslie in Royal Flush (and Eddie Murphy won’t tell you this, but Coming To America owes that movie quite the debt). With details on the upcoming series – even its release date – being currently kept locked behind a…well….poker face…from Peacock, fans should stay tuned to MusicObserver for the latest news.

Living the Dream: How Gianluca Tavani Made His Wildest Dreams Come True

Music Observer Staff on December 28, 2022

Here’s a story of how passion, humility, and determination transformed a naïve 15-year-old boy into a household brand. Gianluca Tavani, also known as TAVA, is one of Italy’s biggest and brightest DJs and producers. The Piacenza native is at the peak of his career, performing at various gigs across Italy and Europe. Apart from being a DJ, TAVA is also a renowned music producer, and one of his famous productions is “Twilight.”

TAVA’s story began when he first walked into a nightclub in 2009 at 15. Unlike his friends who went partying, Gianluca spent most of his time behind the booth, admiring the DJ’s performance. He immediately became attracted to the art and bought his first console. TAVA began playing at birthdays and private parties. His passion and motivation made other clubs within the city recognize him, and at 18, he became a resident at one of the best clubs around.

Gianluca was exceptional in his art, and a few years later, he started working in the studio where he released his first productions. His work was so good that it opened up various opportunities for him outside the city.

His career took off, and TAVA has had an eventful adventure in the production industry. TAVA’s success began when he collaborated with Nari and Milani in “Twilight.” The collaboration was a huge success and became more influential when French superstar DJ Laurent Wolf did a remix of it. After his first success, TAVA collaborated with Nari and Stefani Pain, featuring Luciana in “Pump It Up.” This track was the game changer—after its release, it immediately reached #1 on the Beachport Electro House Top 100. After a few months, the track was being played on national and international radio and reached over 2 million plays on Spotify.

Here is a brief analysis of TAVA’s main career highlights:

  • Collaboration with Nari & Milani on “Twilight”
  • Collaboration with Nari & Milani on “I am Right”
  • Collaboration with Nari and Stephani Pain featuring Luciana on “Pump It UP”
  • The track “Para Paradise” was released on international radio stations in Italy, Germany, etc.
  • Did a side project, R4GE, with artists VIZE and Emie.

TAVA has also had a successful DJing career, and he recently collaborated with the 82nd DJ in the world, remixing his single “Oh My My.” TAVA has an extensive track list, and some of his most well-known songs include “Supercars,” “Come On Girl,” “In The Night,” “I’m In Love,” etc. One of his latest singles, “What I Feel,” released on Hot Vibes Records, has managed millions of plays on Spotify and over 3 million streams on Sony Music Germany.

His success didn’t come easy, and if you are an upcoming DJ or producer, TAVA is here to show you that patience, passion, and humility can take you places. The way to be great in the industry is to work hard and express your passion through your work. Despite his success, TAVA aims to do more—start his own record label and perform on the biggest stages across Europe. You can be part of TAVA’s success story and reach him through Instagram, Facebook, and Spotify. 

TAVA’s journey to becoming a household brand in Italy and beyond was not without its challenges and setbacks. In order to achieve success in the competitive world of music production and DJing, TAVA had to consistently work hard and strive to improve his skills and techniques. This required a great deal of dedication and determination, as well as a willingness to take risks and try new things.

Despite his natural talent and passion for music, TAVA also recognized the importance of humility and the value of learning from others. He was not afraid to seek out guidance and advice from experienced professionals in the industry, and he worked hard to build relationships with other artists and DJs. This helped him to establish himself as a respected and sought-after collaborator, and it allowed him to work with some of the biggest names in the industry.

One of the key factors in TAVA’s success has been his ability to adapt and evolve as an artist. He has consistently pushed himself to try new things and to experiment with different styles and genres, always striving to find new and innovative ways to express himself through his music. This has allowed him to stay fresh and relevant in a rapidly changing industry, and it has helped him to build a loyal and engaged fanbase.

As TAVA continues to grow and evolve as an artist, he remains driven by his passion for music and his desire to make a positive impact on the world. He has big plans for the future, including the launch of his own record label and the opportunity to perform on the biggest stages across Europe. No matter what the future holds, TAVA is sure to continue living the dream and inspiring others to chase their own wildest dreams. So, he is a perfect example for all the upcoming DJs and producers that hard work, passion, and humility can take them to the heights of success.

Setting Her Sights on World Domination, Ali Spartels Rules the Australian and UK Airwaves with Babalon

Music Observer Staff on December 28, 2022

The music industry is teeming with talent just bubbling from under the surface. Spanning multiple genres, artists, and adept musical stylings, the industry has become a wellspring of inspiration for aspiring musicians to stake their claim within a burgeoning enterprise. Ali Spartels is among these talented individuals. Carving out her legacy in the music and entertainment industry with unabashed enthusiasm, the prominent musician has unveiled a solo project under the moniker Babalon. 

Donning the Babalon persona, Ali Spartels has crafted a musical icon that fully embodies her sheer artistry. The artist utilizes a synergistic blend of genre elements straight out of Indie, Electro Pop, and Dark-wave Electro Pop. Babalon is a vehicle for Ali’s creative expression as she immerses herself in character and blurs the lines between her artistic creation and her own personality. 

Ali’s talents took root way before she decided to pursue a career in music. Since the early days of her childhood, she had already shown tremendous promise as a musician. She learned jazz piano at a young age and now carries what she has learned throughout her musical journey. Plucking her influences from revered artists such as Prince, Sting, and Joni Mitchell, Babalon’s music has a way of captivating an audience and seamlessly blending the artistic stylings of one Ali Spartels. 

Apart from her sonic influences, Ali Spartels also heavily draws visual inspiration from the legendary filmmaker David Lynch. With every new release, Babalon has allowed Ali to express her artistry through music accompanied by compelling music videos. Coming from equally talented parents, it’s no surprise that Ali Spartels has made an indelible mark in the music industry. 

Both of her parents are well-known actors in the Australian entertainment industry and have featured in multiple leading roles in theater, film, and television. Her father, George Spartels, was a staple in “Playschool,” a long-running children’s television series on ABC where Ali began her songwriting career at the age of five. She wrote songs on her father’s albums for the show, which continues to be celebrated today. 

Her mother, Liz Alexander, is a famous Australian actress who recently starred in the highly successful Netflix series, “Clickbait.” Her mother’s talent for visual flair has carried over onto Ali’s dazzling onscreen presence, allowing her to become a magnetic force throughout her many music videos. 

Babalon premiered in the Music Magazine in 2020. Since the solo project’s inception, Ali Spartels has garnered radio play all across Australia. Her latest single, “Scream,” is part of a larger project that Ali is currently brewing up. This new undertaking brings the likes of Max Vangeli, Stonebridge, and Going Deeper to rework the tune and bring various EDM stylings accompanied by Ali’s hauntingly beautiful vocals. 

Since its initial release, “Scream” has enjoyed tremendous success all across the United Kingdom, consistently being played across the club and radio circuit of prominent venues. The single is currently available to stream across all mainstream digital platforms, along with a hypnotic music video that audiences just couldn’t take their eyes off.

Katherine Vollenweider’s face recently lit up Times Square, giving us a glimpse of his star rising. 

The 20-year-old singer-songwriter originally dazzled spectators when she appeared on Miss Suisse Francophone competition in 2021. The competition brings french-speakers across Switzerland together to showcase their talents. She represented her small, lakeside town of Neuchatel, and, by placing in the top 10 of contestants, put her home on map as the birthplace of a promising star.

Currently living and working in New York City, the Swiss-born singer is now getting the All-American star treatment. In April 2022, she was featured in Untold Magazine. She was photographed and profiled for the beauty and fashion publication. Following the release of the story, she told her instagram followers that her “future begins now.”

Seemingly to affirm her statement, several important projects followed the release of the article in Untold. She modeled for famed photographer Marc Baptiste. As a guest of her label, MLife Records, and Nasdaq, she appeared at the TEDxWaterstreet Reimagine 2022 event in April. With so much traction under her feet, she made New York her official home in May, committing herself to the continuation of her career. 

Though a transplant to the land of stars and stripes, she continues to stay true to her European roots. She was a guest at the Angel Ball 2022 at New York’s famed establishment, Cipriani. Around the same time, she was in the studio with MLife.

Perhaps her most shining moment to date was her appearance at the Clinton Foundation Gala. Representing MLife, she shook hands (and took photos) with esteemed guests including Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. 

Check it out Wyclef Jean Attends MLife’s Billboard unveiling ceremony in Times Square, NY in May 2022.

“What a beautiful soul,” Rodham Clinton said following their meeting. “You have a bright future ahead of you, especially here in America.”

Now that she is signed with New York-based label, MLife Records, Ms. Vollenweider is certainly on a path to stardom. Her first single is in the works and due to drop in 2023. 

Mezzo Yana Mann and her exploration of the contemporary arias

Music Observer Staff on December 16, 2022

In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Russian mezzo Yana Mann decided to start working on the release of her first studio album: Los poemas de bar. The intimate collection of songs, written and composed by NY–based Colombian composer Julián De La Chica, explores the most ordinary conversations that take place after 3:00 am in a New York bar. And this would be not only Yana’s first album, but also the “Recording premiere” of the song cycle composed by De La Chica, years ago.

The result of the album is exquisite, with new sounds (close and warm), full of stories, experiences and memories. Although the time of the pandemic meant a time of silence and uncertainty for many, for Yana it meant the opposite: produce and sing. By September 2020, Yana jumped into this new Zoom’s world and started working remotely, along with Julián, on the production of the album. Both artists, Yana from her studio in Dubai, and Julián from his studio in Brooklyn, would begin the details of this new production.

The album was released in May 2021, achieving a very good reception not only from the general audience, but also from critics. Later, Yana was invited by the Brooklyn–based record label Irreverence Group Music, to present the premiere of the work during her anticipated debut at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City. And what could be more perfect than the Weill Recital Hall, known for its intimacy, as well as its majesty, to present this sonic trip.

The concert was on February 12, 2022, and with a full house, Mann dazzled with her voice, the precision of her sound, and her dialogue with the piano (performed by De La Chica himself). In the first part of the recital, Yana, dressed in sober black, presented Los Poemas de Bar, Op. 12, while in the second part, in dramatic red, she presented a new work written for the occasion and dedicated to her: Las Arias Florentinas, Op. 15. Critic Grella said In the program notes: “The result is a human connection, familiar shapes but new sounds. And with the bar stories coming through the voice, a feeling of duende that is something beyond genres and styles, just De La Chica’s own compositional voice. Tonight, that’s inseparable from the clarity and color of Yana Mann’s singing. She is both an excellent interpreter of the Poemas, and the dedicatee of the Arias.”

Las Arias Florentinas were composed by De La Chica in the summer of 2021, while he was visiting Florence with his family. According to him, his experience of the pandemic and the cancellation of live music brought him immense sadness. But one day (in Florence), while walking through the lonely city, he saw the announcement of a concert in an old chapel. The feeling was wonderful: “To be witnessing music in its purest state again, listen to a soprano, in the beauty and intimacy of this small chapel, and also in Florence. Of course I came out with my head full of ideas, and that’s how the arias were born, which by the way I decided to call them that, as a tribute to the Italian opera of the 17th century.” says De La Chica.

The arias are composed in a minimalist style, as is the style of De La Chica. The sounds of the piano come and go, as they intertwine around Yana’s voice. Yana seems to personify an ancient muse, who wanders through the streets of Florence. De La Chica’s music has the conviction of easily enveloping the listener. His music, although austere, is powerful, and although you could say it is minimal, it is complex. And these concepts, along with repetition and circles, quickly captivate the listener.

Now Yana will take the arias to a new album, and this exploration–her exploration of new music, plus “the heartbreaking melancholia of Mann’s voice,” will bring a wonderful result, I’m sure. Yana will collaborate with De La Chica again, and we hope that for this occasion, it will not be remote but live, also with everyone present, for the enjoyment of our senses.

IAM TONI JONES: Affirmation Music that helps people talk to themselves better, Soul-Searching Songs and Self-Talk for the Conscious Mind

Music Observer Staff on December 8, 2022

Do you like upbeat songs, poems, spoken word, and R&B? If so, then you’ll love IAM Toni Jones. Her music helps people talk to themselves better and transforms mindsets, behavioral habits, and personal concepts about oneself.

Toni is a self-healing word lover. She’s committed to healing how we communicate and love one another by doing away with harmful words that only hurt others. Toni’s motivation is to create a more positive and loving world by teaching people how they can heal themselves through communication.

As a Life Coach turned Affirmation Musician, Toni coaches people by sharing her self-talk and music. Her message to listeners is that they should embrace their “inner voice” or inner guidance system, which helps them live healthier lives with the power of affirmations (positive statements). The push play on this album will have you feeling your heart’s truth–whatever has been missing within yourself comes front and center as if it were always there waiting for YOU.

Toni’s love for psychology led to a personal healing journey, which caused her heart and soul to be filled with joy. She found that she could help others on their journeys through life and find peace within herself when they were successful in doing so too. After years spent working against all odds-Toni decided it was time to share what had worked best from this experience so other people might benefit as well.

She found herself counseling others through meditation. In 2018 prayerful reflection on her life experiences as a woman leader empowered by affirmation music came into being – Affirmation Music is what we now know today. Her clients taught her that self-love is the most powerful force in life.

Toni’s story is one of hard work and determination. Having no background in music or writing, she went to California for a month and wrote her first album, and came back home to Detroit. She applied for the loan; got it in no time at all.

Then she went into the studio with an idea of what needed improvement toning down some parts or adding more excitement here and there–but ended up recording something completely different than expected because that’s how music works: You can’t know until after everything has happened which song will come out sounding best – yet still, be perfect just as it is supposed.

She still needed to learn that her first client album would lead to a full-time music and art career. But on March 19, 2019, during Women’s History month, she launched Affirmations for The Grown Ass Woman with one goal: To help women practice well-being anywhere they are without having access or time! Little did we know this was just the beginning of something big.

Toni has always loved music, and after years of coaching, she knew it was time to pursue a career in the industry. 

She has released five projects with 20 million streams; her most popular single, “Take Up Space Sis,” was placed on Showtime’s “The CHI” television series. With this newfound success, Toni is taking over as an empowering female artist while developing Affirmation Music which will change how we view our planet through optimistic watts affirmations.

Toni’s music is a reflection of her journey with affirmations and self-love. Her songs focus on healing from trauma, building resilience, and embracing your true self. Through her music, she shares messages of hope that can help listeners find their inner strength and courage to face life’s challenges.

Her music speaks to the struggles we all face in life, and it takes a unique perspective on social issues by using sound as its medium. Her lyrics come from personal experiences, stories shared by fans who reach out to her via social media or at one of my shows., which allows Toni to create a meaningful song that resonates with people across different walks of life.

Toni Jones’ affirmation music is a powerful tool that encourages self-love through positive words and melodies that resonate deeply with listeners worldwide. This language helps us heal from trauma while building resilience so we can live our best lives daily.

We need more artists like Toni Jones who use their platforms for entertainment and make a real difference in the world – one song at a time. If you’re looking for uplifting tunes to brighten your day, make sure that IAM TONI JONES’s latest album, “Affirmation Music,” is on deck. It’ll give you all the motivation needed.

If you’d like more information about IAM TONI JONES, please visit her professional page at www.iamtonijones.com or her Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/iamtonijones/. Please visit her membership group on strong networks also at https://thelivingroom.mn.co/ today!

Music Observer Staff on December 6, 2022

The music industry is highly competitive and saturated, making it one of the most challenging industries to enter. In fact, getting into the industry is just the first step. The actual challenge comes after, when amateur and professional music artists aim to have their works reach their intended audience and beyond. 

Spotify has also shared in a blog post early this year that “many artists, producers, and songwriters get into the music business because of their passion for creating, but are often caught off-guard by the complex realities of the music industry.”

Veteran Timothy Colbert-Kemp Gains Momentum in the Film, Music and Gaming Industries after Service

Music Observer Staff on December 2, 2022

Excelling in one craft can seem impossible in today’s busy world. Despite the demands of time, Timothy Colbert-Kemp, a US Army combat veteran, musician, actor, and game designer, has learned to balance many trades and excel in all of them.

Timothy Colbert-Kemp, also known as The Amazing T.k., is a multi-talented American actor, writer, musician, producer, video game designer, and developer. But before all this, he served as a route clearance specialist for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Not only is he one of the best examples of a combat veteran from the United States Army, but he is also an inspiring PTSD survivor who uses art to overcome his mental condition. 

Because of his many talents, Timothy has found success in Hollywood, gaining traction across many practices and projects. Moreover, he looks to assist other vets in transitioning to post-service life. As he releases music, makes video games, stars in excellent movies, and creates other works of art, he hopes to inspire his fellow veterans to keep dreaming and striving even after their service.

Timothy relocated to Southern California and began working on creative content after completing a tour in Afghanistan in 2010. Raised in Brooklyn, he always had a love for all things art-related. Today, he continues to make waves in various entertainment and creative fields, creating successful projects that excel immensely. 

The army veteran discovered his current path after putting his life on the line every day for a full year in the army. “I decided that if I survived I’d make something amazing of myself. That led to leveling up my craft and learning complementary ones as well,” he shared. 

One of the artist’s most recent works is an album called The Hollywood Callback, which has dominated streaming platforms. Timothy has also produced and released many action-packed video games that bring exciting and unique gameplay to gaming enthusiasts everywhere. His games feature various themes, including adventures, horror from the 1980s, and space.

On the music front, Timothy excels just as well. Although The Amazing T.k.’s music has elements of Drake, Jay-Z, Mac Miller, and Logic, it also has a distinct style of its own. The musician looks forward to working with booking agents, talent agencies, and sponsors interested in supporting independent artists. In addition, Timothy now aims to draw in both men and women from all walks of life to his various creations as he steadily gains momentum in his chosen fields.

Fans have described Timothy’s singles as “ear candy,” sharing how they are “addictive to the ears.” The Amazing T.k. makes himself quite distinguishable through his choice of fits, which are somewhat presidential with a rebel pop flair. He aspires to be recognized as the ideal independent musician whose music gains praise for being intensely immersive, luring listeners with ethereal sounds, hard-hitting bangers, and introspective and melodic songs that feature an 80s-inspired synth tone. He has no plans of lagging on the film and gaming front, either, with more plans underway to expand his brand in these fields. Timothy is a testament to the power of passion and how anyone can be what they want if they consistently work hard to improve their craft— or crafts, like in The Amazing T.k.’s case.

 

Michael Bernard aka z3r0 Engages Arts and Music Industry Through His Craftsmanship

Music Observer Staff on November 22, 2022

More and more artists are becoming vital players in the music and arts industry, but only a handful have been blessed with the giftedness to flourish. One of them is z3r0, a creative professional and musician who has built a strong reputation through his groundbreaking music and other creative projects. 

Michael Bernard or better known by his artist name z3r0, is a singer and remixer who is significantly into metal, rap, and orchestral music. His business has the same pronunciation as his name, “O000O000O000,” and is also the exact name of his Soundcloud profile.

Michael played the trumpet throughout high school, and in college, he played as a music major in jazz performance. The inspiring individual practically grew up with music, playing guitar and piano since the second grade. After many years, the foundation of his love for learning various instruments gave him the ability to create music in multiple genres like rap, metal, orchestral, and dubstep.

Currently, Michael takes pride in doing the whole process of producing and creating his songs. He does the same thing with his clothing brand and his website. As he expands his networks, he hopes to attract people who will have an appreciation for his music, which he ensures is one of a kind. 

Aside from producing energetic music, Michael is also into designing clothes, highlighting abstract art-infused sets of clothing such as matching shirts, pants, facemasks, hoodies, scrunchie, and dresses. He has recently expanded his brand into shoes, backpacks and duffle bags and offers canvas prints and posters as well. 

Creating high-quality merchandise with very high-resolution printing makes his work stand out from the crowd. Michael said in an interview that making matching sets is his favorite, such as the z3r0 Sparkle Pattern, which is available on a Shirt, Pants, Hoodie, Mask, Backpack, and Dress.

Much like other individuals who pursue their own paths, the journey was not an easy one for Michael. His loyalty to those he trusted has been tested several times, and after too many unfortunate encounters with the wrong people, he is determined to find a way to be able to stand his own ground. 

On his Instagram, Michael gave a sneak peek of his music through a post with a short clip from a 20-minute uncut segment that was taken out of an unintentionally four-hour recording session. His favorite section out of this cut is around the seven or nine-minute mark. Michael made sure that he incorporated his story into his brand so that it would not just create interest but also depth and meaning to his potential customers.

Michael envisions starting up a membership on his site, which incorporates a philosophy of tool utilization over artistic ability, because he believes that anyone can learn to make fantastic art should they desire to. In an interview, he said: “With willingness and desire to create art, I believe anyone can create advanced artwork from as little as a single brushstroke.” He will be releasing videos and live streams weekly to members with step-by-step instructions as well as other commentary on the process of generating abstract artwork on his phone in Sketchbook by Autodesk.
