Spring is one of the most-awaited seasons of the year because of many reasons. This year, Christian hip hop artist Eric Jamal is spicing the season with a new song set to become the next great hit in the music industry.

Eric Jamal is a young, aspiring artist from Marks, Mississippi. Having been in the game for over a decade, the rapper has already made waves in the music scene with his catchy songs and unique take on Christian music. Traditionally, rap would not be a primary genre for Christian worship, but the artist makes everyone realize that rap can be another avenue for praise. With his new track called Plays, Eric guarantees that it is the perfect song to kickstart spring and turn a new page. 

Plays, produced with a distinct up-tempo mixed with incredible vocals and impeccable lyrics, is predicted to land at the top of the charts once it hits listeners across the globe through various online music streaming platforms. Plays maintains the momentum generated by Eric Jamal’s previous hit song entitled Dearly Beloved. For the artist, his new track is the perfect song to captivate listeners because it possesses his unique sound and style but simultaneously brings something fresh to the table. 

Eric Jamal takes great inspiration from the works of other Christian music artists such as Lecrae, J Cole, and Joyner Lucas. He wants to lead a new generation of music artists to explore different genres and styles to praise God. Eric uses God-inspired lyrics to fill his songs with meaning and bring the message of the gospel through one of the most celebrated music genres today. Rap is a medium for Eric to share his deeply anchored relationship with Jesus and encourage people to grow in faith.

Despite his impressive career run, Eric Jamal shared that he never planned on becoming a Christian rapper. Still, music chose him and turned him into the incredible artist he is today. Eric shared that his musical journey began in 11th grade. His teacher gave his class an assignment to write a piece about the Great Depression. Being a good writer, Eric found the assignment as an opportunity to write a poem. Little did he know that the activity would lead him to create his very first rap piece. From there, Eric fell in love with expressing his faith through music. 

After many years of dedication and hard work on his craft, Eric Jamal emerged as one of the most promising Christian music artists in the game today. His music not only inspires other Christians but also proves that rap can also be used to glorify God. With every new song released, Eric further cements his name in the music industry and adds to his credibility as an artist.

Furthermore, Eric Jamal guarantees his listeners that he will be releasing more tracks in the coming months. Fans are always eager to hear from him, and the artist assures them that he has more ideas up his sleeves. Indeed, Eric is one to watch as he captivates audiences from all walks of life, one song at a time. 

Plays is now available on all streaming platforms. Listen to the song on Spotify.

Modern pop music is often dominated by the same big names and the larger-than-life status that they’ve built upon. However, one rising musician who goes by the name of Ali Waad is staking his claim in the music industry and garnering a lot of traction among new fans and old fans alike. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, the rising pop singer and songwriter is dominating the music industry one track at a time.

Ali Waad began his musical journey when his mother discovered his singing talents when he was three years old. Living in war-torn Iraq, Ali struggled to live in Baghdad with his family back in 2003. He felt that their lives were constantly threatened, so they moved to Jordan in 2006. Despite all the hardships that came along with daily life, Ali never chose to give up on his dream.

He had always aspired to become one of the most famous pop singers in the world. When he was 18 years old, Ali Waad appeared in his first-ever public performance in Amman, Jordan. It was then and there that he realized that music was his one true passion, and it was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Ali vows to fight for his dream until the day he dies. That is how passionate the man is about his music career.

Luckily, Ali Waad managed to find refuge in the United States of America as an immigrant, but that was the start of yet another struggle where they had to start from scratch again. He started working shifts at a grocery store and balanced his job alongside his schoolwork just so he could support himself and his family.

Throughout the years, he has never forgotten about his dream, and he continued to cultivate his passion and hone his craft in spite of what life threw at him. Ali Waad performed publicly in universities such as Emory University, Georgia State University, Agnes College, Kennesaw State University, and many more. He then met David Marcus, who was the former GSU music director and who gave him the opportunity to jump-start his professional music career.

Ali Waad composed his very first song entitled “Jamila,” which was arranged by David Marcus and recorded at 800 East Studio with Ken Gregory and engineered by Anthony Major. After his first single hit the airwaves, Ali Waad was equally determined to improve himself in music and singing. He kept working day in and day out in order to garner the attention of great producers that would eventually collaborate with him.

When he returned to Baghdad, Ali Waad met people who introduced him to one of the most famous Arab arrangers and mixers, Ahmed Abd El Salam, online. He has been working with Ahmad virtually, and they created his song “Zaman,” which got over 600,000 views on major streaming platforms. Ali then decided to keep his Iraqi Latin pop style on his next song, “Enti,” which also got over 75,000 views on YouTube, Apple Music, and Spotify.

It’s clear to see that Ali Waad has the right amount of talent and charm to succeed in the music industry. With the way things are going now, he is poised to become one of the biggest names in pop music with his stylish flair and his captivating sonic presence. It’s only a matter of time before Ali Waad becomes a household name in pop music.

After grappling with thoughts that she has been wasting her talents for years, Tatiana Ellis took the bull by the horns and delved fully into music. While her intention was not to pick up music late as she did, she feels better about doing it at a time she’s more mature and connected to God. Music has been her dream all her life, and the journey to bringing that dream to life is one she wants to get right. Indie artists usually have it rough in the industry because of little to no support from any major label or investor. That’s why Tatiana Ellis is working hard to get her name out there to attract interest to her music and then take things up from there.

Coming from Connecticut that has not produced many musical stars, Tatiana Ellis is hoping to shake things up and prove to the world that Connecticut can be a powerful force in music too. Tatiana plans to make her status known as singer and songwriter who developed herself from scratch and is taking aim at the stars in the sky. Despite being a mother at 19 years old, Tatiana has never dreamed small. She takes her life circumstances in stride with a single goal of becoming the best to ever do it.

She recently released a song titled “Hurt,” which is her only song since she made her career official. The single is doing great numbers for an indie artist with no major backing from any label or music company. “Hurt” is available for download and streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, and Google Play. Tatiana says she has more songs ready and in the works but only wants to get her current song out to more people. Beyond her talent and artistic qualities, Tatiana has a goofy and playful personality, which has earned her the nickname “Barbie” and will likely endear her to more people and fans.

Tatiana Ellis has Jamaican roots, which means she’ll be appealing to Jamaican audiences too. Tatiana’s strong belief in herself and her talent is her biggest driving force. She intends to perform from coast to coast with hopes that music executives will notice her and work with her. “I hope to catch the eye of people in the music industry who not only want to work with me but believe in my success just as much as I do. I also need as many people as possible to hear me out and feel my music. My goal is to perform in different places and get people to sing along to my music. That alone proves exposure and sends the right message to music powerhouses that I am worth checking out,” Tatiana says.

Tatiana is counting on the relatable nature of her music and the meaningful lyrics. She also hopes to be of interest to producers and record labels looking to work with a fresh face in the industry. In her words, “I bring a new heat, and I’m open to working with anyone who wants some of that.” Her biggest strength is her authenticity and versatility when it comes to musical sounds and styles. She went for years in her life without doing anything related to music even though she was interested. Now that she has taken the initiative, nothing can stop her. She’s building the Tatiana Ellis brand to stay, conquer, and dominate. “I have tons of ideas, and with God’s grace in my life, I want to send out a message to the world. I want to be the change and power that everyone needs to see to improve their lives,” she says.

Tatiana’s hunger for success is so profound that she wants to shake things up to improve things for everyone. In a few years, she wants to be successful and show the music world that indie artists are worth giving a shot regardless of what the music environment suggests.

Every great story starts with a step, and every thriving music career took off with that one song or album that changed the artist’s narrative. For an independent musician like Jay Madera signed to an independent label, Pop Cautious Records, he’s doing everything possible to put his best foot forward with his upcoming album set to be released on the 26th of March 2021. The album Anxious Armada has been in the works for months, and Jay Madera claims the album is a product of his personal progress, artistic vision, and labor of love. The album is his way of making a bold statement and  announcing his presence in the music industry.

Jay Madera has expressed optimism over the upcoming album, which he hopes will have the desired effect on his music career by giving him the proper announcement and recognition. The twelve-track album explores different topics and themes that awaken the consciousness of the listener. Jay Madera touches on societal topics and issues to bring more awareness and get his audience to note them. Jay Madera, who recently signed a recording contract with Pop Cautious Records, aims for complete dominance and a more pronounced relevance with the release of his album in less than 24 hours.

The album will be available on Pop Cautious Records’ website and a host of other streaming platforms. The online label shop also offers Vinyl and CD versions of the album for those who want them in those formats. Jay Madera’s marriage with Pop Cautious Records is a synergy and alliance geared toward achieving a single goal: spreading awareness for political and societal issues through music. Jay Madera also targets everyone looking for inspiration spiritually and musically. “For the sake of mankind and the advancement of the music industry in the United States, this album has taken everything in me, and I’m putting it out there hoping that it will leave a positive impression in your mind,” Jay says.

Jay’s musical journey has been one of him carving an identity for himself. He strongly believes in the power of autonomy, which explains why he went on for years as an independent artist. Even joining Pop Cautious Records is an independent move that gives both him and the label all the creative freedom they need to achieve success. For them, being independent means more freedom and less large corporate agendas interfering with creativity.

Making impacts is on top of Jay Madera’s to-do list, and music is the only way he knows how to communicate. Two singles off the new album, “OH-126” and “A House Divided,” have been released last year, and the numbers they’re doing give Jay increased confidence that the upcoming album, Anxious Armada will do good numbers as well. With Pop Cautious Records steering the wheel, Jay Madera has his sights set firmly on greatness, impact and solid inspiration.

Darius Everett, aka Jashon, is a man of action. He currently serves the nation as a military man and is presently stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. Yet, as grateful as the artist is is for the opportunity to serve and protect his country, this path isn’t a permanent one. As a rising artist on Spotify and other digital channels with a talent that’s unlike most, he hopes to redirect his journey into music, preferably soon. And with his current trajectory to music influence, it seems his wishes aren’t too far away from reality.

Darius “Jashon” Everett is an up-and-coming artist from Maryland, Virginia. Many music executives and publications have dubbed him the next big thing to come out of the DMV area. For as long as he remembers, music has always been in Jashon’s heart and blood. But earlier decisions would lead him down another path. 

“The military wasn’t the first thing that came to my mind to do with my life, but it was necessary for the decision to be made,” shares Jashon. “But even while being in the position I’m in, while serving, I have still made time to hone my craft.” Darius Everett spent most of his childhood under the influence of military service. He’s a military brat and thus moved from place to place for the more significant part of his formative years. Darius has lived in various places at various times, including living abroad in Germany for a season. He’s also moved around states, splitting time between Georgia, California, and Maryland.

Through his travels and exposure to all kinds of cultures, Darius would widen his horizon and perspective. His art and craft would further develop as he experienced more out of life. The music aficionado would start writing original music, which took on a unique and highly appealing form through the years. Today, his talent for performing and crafting songs is unquestionable, with multiple successful tracks in his belt to prove his point. 

Jashon has recorded, produced, and released several hit tracks, including songs like “Make Believe,” “Emergency,” “Mind Games,” “Fiji Water,” “Licc,” “Designer Things,” “She Know,” “Nasty Girl,” and several others. His eleven-track record “Apply Pressure” has made rounds all over the internet since its debut back in 2020. Jashon also has an array of singles, which have reached thousands to this day. 

Jashon currently works under the label Audio Genesis Music, which also handles his production, engineering, and management. All of these the artist does while faithfully serving in his duties to his country. “Juggling these two lifestyles at the same time is not easy,” the artist openly admits. “But I try to make it work.” 

What motivates the artist most is his passion for music and success. The artist out of the DMV is more than dedicated to becoming the best at his craft and providing his listeners and fans with more high-value songs in the next couple of years. With all that Darius Everett has offered to the world in such a short amount of time, he’s proven that he deserves a spot in top-tier hip hop artists from the East Coast. And with more to offer and a lifetime ahead of him, he’s bound to reach even greater levels of greatness. 

Jashon hopes to one day pursue music full-time. Learn more about the artist and his art by visiting his Spotify and Instagram accounts.
