BEWARE OF THE VOICE
A profile of Tyler Noel
A profile of Tyler Noel
Hailing from Georgia, USA, Tyler Noel is a charismatic, spontaneous and direct Rhythm & Blues artist who has set out to create unique, upbeat music with
attitude.
She began singing at the tender age of five in her church choir. At the age of 12, Noel began her professional music career when she joined an all girl group, Solo Tre. The group was signed to acclaimed producer Derek Baker, also known as Bigg D, who is known for producing Jamie Foxx's hit "Unpredictable". Through the years and many girl groups later, Tyler was 18 and the thought of being a solo artist was burning in her mind.
With plans to attend college after high school, fate had different plans for Tyler when she suffered a severe partially paralyzing stroke which left her barely able to speak. Her determination, love for music, family, friends and support of her father, who she credits as her best friend allowed her to prevail against the odds and continue her musical journey.
“Singing is a source of healing for me. If it’s not real, how can I expect other people to believe it?”

“Singing is a source of healing for me. If it’s not real, how can I expect other people to believe it?”
says the talented singer songwriter.
“I write and sing about my life and that’s why my songs are instantly
relatable.”
The
Atlanta singer is quickly making a name for herself, by merit
of her outstanding performances and top class music productions. Her
sound is all about the warmth and feel of old school synth and drum
machines: lush, open tight, powerful backing tracks creating the
perfect backdrop for her distinctive vocal performances. Her vocals
can be bright, upbeat, catchy and cutting through the mix, but at the
same time they can retain a unique soulfulness and a true R&B
feeling. She has worked with rising producers
The Exclusives (Betty Wright, August Alsina "I Luv This Shit" and
Lloyd)
and she has developed numerous long-lasting relationships in the music
industry. She is currently working on her soon to be released EP with
Atlanta producer, Epikh Pro who recently placed production, "S.O.N"
on Tamar Braxton's new album, Calling All Lovers.

A SICK SUMMER, BY MAGIX KING
It's
the EP Chicago underground hip hop fans anticipated for months before
its official release in June this year. Since Magix's first EP, Dream
Catcher which came out in 2012, the young emerging Chicago Hip Hop
artist has been working hard to cultivate his musical talent. Dream
Catcher was received well by his then new found fans, many of whom still
support his releases and follow everything he does closely today.
As
well as keeping fans thoroughly entertained, Magix aims to empower
listeners through the sounds of his music. He started writing when he
was nine years old. At first it was just a means of release but with
time, Magix discovered the power of communication and how it could be
incorporated into his music to inspire, motivate and educate. Following
the release of Dream Catcher, he released The Workout Session in 2014 - A
12 track album which featured a lot of talented emerging and
underground Hip Hop and Urban Music Artists and Producers, and which
enjoyed a lot of buzz in and around Chicago.
A
Sick Summer is said to be his best work to date and reflects the time
and hard work he has put in and continues to put into his career. It's a
more compact, more focused album with 6 tracks and fewer features than
in the previous release. He also released a video with the main single,
also titled A Sick Summer around about the same time.
A Sick Summer is available to stream and download on Bandcamp and other popular music outlets.
Magix
is offering fans the rare opportunity to win free tickets to his upcoming shows. Details are available on the Bandcamp download page.

The new EP features Acoustic versions of all the tracks on his debut EP, I Am Ready which was released back in 2012 shortly after his debut single, also titled I Am Ready. It follows his recently released and most successful EP so far, Frank Palangi Acoustic which hit the shelves back in August this year.
The Brooklyn solo rock act's gritty, energetic performances took fans by surprise when he first stepped on to the scene in his mid-twenties. It was the rock sound real rock fans had been missing for so long - big, hard, positive, uplifting, true to life, relatable and inspirational - and they just can't seem to get enough of it. I Am Ready is still a favorite at local record stores in and around New York today.
With a string of successful independently released records under his belt and a fan base that keeps growing exponentially with every new release, it's safe to say Frank is on his way to Rock superstardom and he's definitely ready for it.

WHAT MONKEY ON MY BACK?
Oklahoma, US Country Singer, Jake Flint recently announced the release of his debut album, I'm NOT Ok.
Officially
released on the 7th of October, 2016, the 11 track album is available
on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and all major music outlets worldwide and
also on CD via Tate Publising.
Jake was born in 1985 and raised in the oilfield boom town of Holdenville in South Eastern Oklahoma. The son of a wildcat oilman and a hard working mother of two. He was transplanted in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was always an outcast country kid in the city. His father raised him on John Denver, James Taylor, Dire Straits along with various Texas singer/songwriters such as Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, John Prine and others. Because of his shortcomings at fitting in as a city kid, he tagged along with his 3 year older sister's crowd and got a hefty dose of 90's grunge rock from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and whatever else he heard coming from Sis's room followed by a touch of Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Guster, David Grey and others. His first introduction to playing music was a result of his father having been diagnosed with A.L.S. or Lou Gherig's Disease and not being able to physically provide stimulation to his son, so he commissioned a couple of his life long best friends to teach him guitar and take him to bluegrass festivals in Guthrie, OK, Winfield, KS and many others. This new found love of bluegrass music turned into a love of jam bands: Phish, String Cheese Incident, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, etc. And of course once he began writing his own music, he fell in love again with the songwriters from Texas Past and Stillwater present: Tom Skinner, Bob Childers, Boland, Canada, McClure, Chris Knight among countless others. Jake floated through life loving, hating, gaining, losing, experimenting, witnessing, missioning, sinning, breaking the law, paying the consequences and writing about it all.
Album notes:
Inspired by everything from classic Texas Singer/Songwriters to '90s grunge rock, Jake Flint's debut album "I'm Not OK" offers it all. From gut wrenching love ballads to upbeat drinking songs that will move your heart, stimulate your mind and definitely make your toe tap.
