Opera Singer Radmila Lolly is Getting Ready to Launch Her DIVA Project

Music Observer Staff on July 9, 2022

This year will be an explosive season for opera singer, designer, producer, and composer Radmila Lolly as she is set to launch her 6D DIVA project, a self-composed 32-movement album, novel, couture line, and film in which she will star. DIVA is a celebration of her artistry and passions in life, and it will kick off with a grand dance show. Radmila will perform songs from the album, and it will be accompanied by a live orchestra and contemporary musicians. The dancers who will be performing the story contained in the novel will be wearing Eltara Casata, the latest collection from Radmila’s fashion line.

“The arts meant everything to me as a child without me even realizing it. The first art form I pursued was opera; simultaneously, while growing up, I liked to dress up, even though I had limited options. Fashion isn’t about budget, it’s about developing your personal style. The fashion genes run in my family. My grandmother was a designer and dressmaker, my mother is an artist, dressmaker, and a designer,” the multi-faceted opera singer shared.

Despite being known for her multiple talents, Radmila admits that her biggest passion is storytelling through numerous artistic mediums such as singing, writing, directing, and designing stunning gowns. Being an action-oriented person allowed her to excel in her passions. Known as someone who makes things happen, other artists love collaborating with her and helping her bring her vision to life. As can be expected, she, too, went through several challenges before she got to where she is today. “We all have challenges, and I treat them as an opportunity to make myself stronger instead of falling back. Challenges change, and by confronting them something that was once difficult for us can become a daily task,” she shared.

As a flourishing artist, Radmila draws inspiration from the people who believe in her. She dedicates everything she does to them, the same people who encourage and cheer her on when times get tough. She is motivated by the fact that as she works hard today, a lot of people will benefit from it tomorrow.

Throughout the course of her illustrious career as an opera singer, Radmila has released several albums and singles that have marked her place in the music industry. Her albums and singles include Magic City, Wonderland, Snake Body, 4 Short Stories from the Standard Hotel, Hope, and When I’m With You, “Rule 1” and “Black Star.” She has performed in several key locations to promote her albums and couture collections. Interestingly, Radmila also sang the national anthem during the basketball game between the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers.

She had also inspired audiences with her story, specifically when she spoke at the TEDx event at Dupree Park, where she spoke about “Living Outside the Box: How Mothers and Music Can Empower Our Dreams.”

Radmila is presently finishing a script for a television series, the details of which she cannot fully disclose at this point. But this project is definitely something she is very excited about and cannot wait to share with everyone. To say that Radmila is thriving in her passions is an understatement. More than just thriving, she is setting the bar for the next generation of artists who also dream of being acknowledged for their artistry. At the end of the day, Radmila believes that becoming successful is all about taking the courage to do something, even if others think it cannot be done.

One particular artist is currently making waves across the music scene for his distinctive artistry, stellar discography, passion-driven spirit. Santiago Garza, better known as Pegaso, is among the industry’s names to watch out for. Pegaso will be performing this July 9th, 2022, in Long Beach, California, opening Natalia Jiménez’s show at the Long Beach Pride event organized by Club Papi Events / LB PRIDE at the Fiesta Caliente Stage.

The Long Beach Pride Festival is a three-day-long event celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and advocating for diversity and the inclusion and acceptance of its members in the wider community.

Pegaso will be sharing several of his best songs at the event, including his top tracks such as “Rough,” “Hagamos el Amor,” “Ámame,” and “No Ordinary Love,” leading the audience through a medley of pop, urban, and electronic music.

“For me to be able to sing for my community is an honor since they have always supported me unconditionally and even more so to be able to celebrate pride with so many people opening the show for a great star like Natalia Jiménez,” Pegaso expressed. “I am very excited and grateful.”

The Miami-based singer of Mexican origin has recently launched his latest track entitled “LOCURA,” an electronic pop song with sounds from the 90s. With many of its original versions altered into house and EDM remixes that are guaranteed to make the audience dance, this song will surely be a banger as it opens the Fiesta Caliente Stage on July 9th.

By leading the audience with his urban and electronic sounds, Pegaso performs with an impressive charm onstage that allows people to sing and dance to the beat of his tracks.

Because of his growing popularity and unparalleled power to grace the stage with his talents, Pegaso continues to make significant strides that build on his name as a music artist.

Through these creative moves, the singer is not only taking center stage as a must-watch force but is also inspiring young hopefuls to be passionate in their pursuits and strive for excellence despite the challenges that may lie ahead.

Breakout Musician Tex Moonlight Brings ‘Americonica’ Music to Life

Music Observer Staff on July 5, 2022

Americana and Electronica are two top-rated music genres on their own. But what would it be like to blend the two into one category? Fans of breakout musician and artist Text Moonlight know what it’s like and love what they’re experiencing. The artist behind the new wave of music hopes more would join in on the fun.

Tex Moonlight is a musical artist and guitar slinger based in Los Angeles, California. He is the genius behind “Americonica,” a blend of Americana music and Electronica, which has now become a thing across music channels. What makes this mix of music so unique is its paradoxical combination of the technological feel of Electronica and the traditional sounds of Americana into one beautiful experience. Tex Moonlight will be one of the first to tell you how powerful the experience of Americonica is. “Nothing turns me on quite like getting a whacked-out break-beat looped under a pedal steel,” shares the artist.

While growing up in Baltimore, Tex Moonlight got exposed early to the eclectic energy of the local art scene. For most of his childhood, he grew up in a humble home and community, with the excitement of music to keep him and his friends energized through the battles of life. He mostly listened to underground hip-hop music and frequented the local music underground scene. After that, he would have a stint with the punk and hardcore crowd. During those times, he realized his undying passion and love for music.

It did not take long for Tex Moonlight to start experimenting with his approach to music. He started taking Neo-Folk influences and merged them with Futuristic Post-modern Blues. The blend would prove to be highly successful as he started creating music that mimicked that of artists like Glen Campbell and Beck.

Tex Moonlight’s music is “fearless,” to say the least, as he often takes risks that most musicians would not dare to. In a time when the music world abounds with artists who go with the flow, Moonlight chooses to stand out from the crowd. His song, “Smoke Signals,” and the rest of the lineup from his debut album, “God Knows I Love It,” stands as a testament to his hunger for invention and authentic music.

Beyond the music is a message. Moonlight openly shares his insecurities, fears, and doubts through his songs. “Nostalgia can linger like ghosts,” he explains. “But I don’t feel haunted. These days I’m swimming in gratitude.” He also uses his music to celebrate and grieve those he has lost. For the artist, his songs are a “kaleidoscope of memories of loved ones departed.”

Accordingly, fans have grown an affinity for Moonlight’s music. His tendency to color outside of the lines has added to his character. He has performed all over the country and worked with music legends, such as the producer and sound engineering expert Dave Nachodsky, who worked with the likes of Keb Mo’ and Donna Lewis.

Tex Moonlight continues to explore the boundaries of Americonica. And as he does so, he brings the whole world along for the ride and invites listeners to share in the journey through musical discovery.

Multitalented Registered Nurse Kathleen Farless Shares Her Fearless Journey in the Music Industry

Music Observer Staff on July 4, 2022

The music industry will always be a demanding landscape for anyone who dares to dream big and accomplish excellent achievements through their unique musical talents. The most successful artists have similar characteristics, and one of those is high-level uniqueness. Excellent artists understand that to stand out, they must be remarkably unique — like the singer, songwriter and performer Kathleen Palma Farless.

Kathleen Farless’ unique brand of music was birthed by the influence of different artists coming from different genres. People who have heard her perform say she is a mix of Judy Garland and a splash of Freddie Mercury. Others say she is a hybrid of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. Farless’ strong stage presence feels like a bright light, with confidence that goes well with great crossover appeal.

The fearless singer was born and raised in the Philippines and embraced myriad musical influences from different bands and artists, including Coldplay, The Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Freddie Mercury and Queen, Sara Bareilles, Ane Brun, Kelly Clarkson, Ingrid Andress and Broadway star Lea Salonga.

Farless is known for being a successful songwriter from Manila. One of her most extraordinary feats is the ability to incorporate contrasting values or elements in songwriting. She believes her experience as a registered nurse strengthens her ability to connect with people with her songs. For instance, one of her tracks, entitled “Who I Am,” has become an anthem for those navigating through the pandemic’s effects. Through it, she shares her struggles as a front liner herself.

“Only a few people know that I am a registered nurse. I think only a few people comprehend the duties involved in the nursing profession, especially in the intensive care setting,” shares the resilient and talented artist. “Also, the mental and physical stress the healthcare professionals endured during the lockdown and the first wave of Covid was beyond imaginable.” The independent singer-songwriter feels more significant and more fulfilled with her career not just because of the people that listen to her but also because she sees her songs’ impact on her followers’ lives.

Today, the independent singer-songwriter feels a profound kind of strength and contentment. Kathleen’s latest single, “Just a Friend,” was launched in January and had already made rounds online. This song became a reminder and statement that Farless stands out as an artist while embracing her weaknesses, bearing the message of navigating the complexities of today’s world while striving to fight for love, connection and compassion that make life worth living. “Above all, I dream of uniting people with my music, work and example,” adds Farless. “Life will throw things at you, things you might not be prepared for. But if you stay connected, stay strong and keep trying to be your best, you’ll come through feeling empowered to be whatever your heart calls you to do.” Kathleen continues to strive to be an artist worth emulating as she further pushes her limits to get her music out there.

“To whomever the Universe has drawn,

Yes I AM currently incarcerate. Serving a 25yrs sentence for an Armed Robbery with no violent background. But I was severely sentence due to the bad reputation of violence of my hometown (Savannah Georgia). I’m a father of two children which is why I’ve asserted myself to this extend. Because I was wrongly convicted (under the Double Jeopardy Clause). Where my case was intentionally delayed for 6yrs now added another 2 and a half years after a Court Of Appeals ruling relieving me of my conviction. Although I’m still awaiting a Court date. My children are growing older and facing great difficulties due poverty. Since I’ve been incarcerate I have exercised ever option to rehabilitate myself and my family. I have gotten an education graduating Valedictorian of my class. Resulting in me becoming a school teacher helping prisoners receive their GED and college Degree. I have been denied going further with my education because the system still has me documented to serving too much time required to enter college so I continue to teach others. The system also says I’m not parole eligible but the Parole Board orders me to do classes that won’t be of any relief to my situation but I’ve still met all prerequisites. Even gaining trades and certifications for future job opportunities. Since the last 10 yrs I have worked on every area of myself that I could think of. I am not without morale and principles. Hence, I have reason to assert myself even to this measure for the sake of my family and children. So to those who choose to hold to their disgust about me growing out of my ignorance. You are more than welcome to misjudge me all you like. Its not as easy as it looks. Please don’t assume you can fathom such aspects of livelihood and think with any urge that it is simple to stand up alone in my situation. Or take on the anxieties of being this overwhelmed every second. I lay in the core of immorality, jealousy, envy, hate and ruthlessness where all these reside. I’m not apart of anything which poses me as a threat to those who are. Its Accountability I have chosen; to rise above hopelessness and exhaustion. I risk my life because I’m a parent and for the sake of representing/honoring all RACES before me and after me. I face more than just the subjection of the system. I face fears that 90% of humanity hasn’t been introduced to. Don’t think I’m not deserving as you are; for we were born ignorant that we be made fit to edify. What if I told you that I have solutions that can help the world and authority. What if I brought things and an inheritance that couldnt be purchased with money. Here is the whisper I leave for you out of the wilderness. I AM the Initiative and you will know that the face of my Father is everywhere. You have Now been Introduced.”

Spoken Word

Titled:

“Black As I AM”

Yes I am a man who makes mistakes. Yes I am a man who knows better. Yes I am a man who is just as worthy as you are to witness God. For what is in me is ripe and ready for harvest and as a well I am drawn here; amongst despise I am to rise. As a wisdom of that here before the foundation of the Earth. Here amongst despise I am to rise; as a breath resurrected of thy ancestor. And with this exhale I shall resurrect so rise truth and be set apart; for fear is but a shadow. Rise truth and be set apart; for light is in living color. Rise truth and be set apart;;for you are that which I AM. The tone by which thy beingness resides the ambience upon all possibility. Here before whom is thy bodily aspect of such an elaboration that variety is the mere proposal of recess. To articulate being, one of a kind yet one too many. Yes I AM all about; witnessing thy beingness to whatever color it may. Have thy share of one light to circumstance, Oh you minute means; have thy share of one time space and moment. That as of now, yet that as of now. Thy only gesture of consciousness. Yes I AM aware about that which is beyond destination. Where here lies secrecy that enmesh the absolute. Know thy darkness is the founding light to all shades; but how bright is this light of many color when comprehension shall not rest upon? Oh so bright that one is not seen nor heard. Only in part of one’s entirety. For there is no difference in one being two or three. For one has no excuse to exclude that which is of thy only representation. See Black as I AM that which you are. One nothing can be yet The One all must claim.

Written By, Reginald D. Bradford Jr./ OnTyme

He further adds, “I have taken the courage to pursue my dreams and talents while incarcerated because my next second isn’t promised. So I project with faith that it makes a difference in your life. Be encourage and understand that Life is only an exchange between you and God nothing else.”

Artist Connect App on Giving Creatives a Platform Where Their Careers Can Flourish

Music Observer Staff on May 19, 2022

The ever-evolving world continues to pose challenges to individuals and collectives hoping to secure a strong foothold within the industry they desire to be successful in. The economy has become substantially precarious due to the uncertainty that the pandemic has brought over the last three years, and simply introducing a product or providing a service is not sufficient if one wants to prosper in the industry, given the level of competition. Cognizant of this, the well-rounded application Artist Connect App is helping creatives rise to the challenge of how to innovate and adapt to the rapidly-changing conditions that are continuing to encompass the art, entertainment, and media industry.

Adherent to the mission of “connecting talent with opportunity,” Gibran Malik has created the Artist Connect App to provide creatives with a platform where they can easily link up with potential audiences and consumers. The application has already amassed a solid base of 3,000 users in just a short period of time. It is now climbing the ranks of the go-to platforms for emerging and established creatives because of the functionality it keeps on delivering.

In its commitment to improving the services it can provide, the Artist Connect App monitors and analyzes the way creatives use the application tools and features to grow their careers. As stated on the official website, “We have gone through virtually all the potential scenarios and have made what was once a long drawn out process, now quick and streamlined. Our goal is to continuously make it easier for artists to thrive and to open creative doors that weren’t available before.”

For 2022, the Artist Connect App is pushing its mission statement to a whole new level by introducing new opportunities for platform users. The application recently partnered up with Sprite artist and ambassador Eclipse Darkness and his company #OhILikeThat. Selected music producers who constantly post on the Artist Connect App will be considered for inclusion in the # OhILikeThat’s sync license library. Music from the library has gotten placements on Netflix productions, Vh1 and other popular television outlets. “Sync licensing is a huge moneymaker for music producers, and we look forward to helping them tap into that market,” shared Gibran.

Furthermore, another benefit that the Artist Connect App will be giving to its users is digital billboard placements. Essentially akin to the sync licensing opportunity, a creative that has posted outstanding work on the platform will be periodically selected and given a free digital billboard to promote their brand.

On top of presenting creatives with innovative and effective ways to get their name out into the industry, the Artist Connect App’s primary focus is the artists’ mindset, safety, and concerns. All transactions done within the application will be recorded to guarantee agreements are maintained and disputes are prevented.

Moving forward, the Artist Connect App intends to scale the success of creatives. The platform is dedicated to empowering and transforming the lives of people in the art, entertainment, and media industry in more years to come.
