Mark Ambuter
MARK AMBUTER, a seasoned artist, biography reads ... "coming from a lengthy and experienced yet wholly unsatisfying music career when I was younger, here I am starting over at a time in my life when I should be just chilling and reaping the benefits of a life well lived. After being an important yet unrecognizable member of a 4 piece band... a fairly successful one at that... well relatively speaking anyway... I always dreamed of doing music my way... No compromises... Sink or Swim... No one to take the credit... or take the blame... it’s all me and I will take the heat for what I play and sing from this moment on ..."

Jason JamesPublished 4 years ago in BeatChantae’ Vetrice
Chantae’ Vetrice is an American Musical artist and songwriter from New York, NY. What sets you apart from the rest? I think what sets me apart from the rest is that I have continued to stay true to what resonates with me, despite the trend. I’m a lil hip hop, a lil rock-n-roll, and a lil pop. I take a lot of influence from Prince, Janet Jackson, and Gwen Stefani but my music has a modern and edgy sound to it. However, I believe it is so important to really understand who you are first. Once you can master that, everything else will fall into place. People recognize authenticity and appreciate it despite what may be popular at the time. It took me moving to Europe and living in Spain for two years in order for me to “find” myself and really come into my own character in music. I love experimenting with my voice and all it can do…from a sweet and airy sound, to the dark raspiness, I try not to put myself into a box when it comes to creating my music and how I want to represent myself to the world. The funny thing is that a lot of people have equated me to a young Grace Jones…I take it as a compliment.
Jason JamesPublished 4 years ago in BeatDynamoMin
My Q&A with DynamoMin during this time of social distancing .... let the music still play! What is your chosen genre? I have always had difficulty in categorizing my music. I think I am multi-genre. However, I think I fall into the categories of funk, jazz -rock, pop -rock, neo-rock. Different songs can fall under a different dominant genres. I think in this case, my song Brighter has pop-rock as a dominant genre.

Kate Magdalena has an ability to move her listeners with her voice, to bring healing and joy. Her songwriting began through her poetry writing, and by setting a few poems to music, by great poets like WB Yeats and Robert Frost, and then in discovering a love of writing which came from her own heart.
mysoundMusicPublished 4 years ago in BeatThe MookMann
The MookMann is a trap jazz artist and trap jazz is a combination of jazz soul and urban rap. When you put the sounds together you get a unique taste of pure originality. I like to reference it as ignorance meets class. I love to tell stories based off people lives and give solutions to their troubles as well as make ya shake ya groove.

mysoundMusicPublished 4 years ago in BeatSophia Venn
Sophia Venn found me while promoting her new R&B, Soul song Life I Knew. A song describing life changes and how something can crash down on you and change the way of life and how you knew it but you have to stand tall step outside and breathe the fresh air to move on with a new life.
mysoundMusicPublished 4 years ago in BeatWho is Chay CEO?
There’s a shift in the air unlike any before it’s time. The fight for inclusion has led to statues falling, companies donating, and families picking sides on where they will stand on the grand stage of history. From the shadows of R&B and the crowd of “lil” rappers a new type of artist emerges that we may not have wanted, but surely needed…Chay CEO.

mysoundMusicPublished 4 years ago in BeatArtifex
It seems as though music was inescapable for Artifex: Born to a Cuban father and Finnish mother, their interest in cultures from around the world exposed Artifex to a wide variety of music at an early age. Artifex’s father was a dancer who loved to throw parties complete with Cuban food and live music played through the night. This led to dancing, with Artifex joining the crowd feverishly.
Carlos LacayoPublished 4 years ago in BeatEnzo x , A Big Music Artist On The Rise
Enzo X is a 19-year-old recording artist from Puerto Rico. He moved to the United States at the age of 11 as his family pursued better opportunities than the ones available in the island. “PR did not really offer my family too many options, and the education system was not getting better, so my mom decided to take me and my sister to the US pursuing a better life” said the artist. After graduating high school, Enzo started to shift his focus into music and business as possible career paths. With a highly anticipated summer for music, there is full commitment from himself and the people around him to have a dominant presence, and with a Spanish debut single on the way, he is set to become one of the brightest bilingual young talents this year. Enzo’s Debut single: “Add It Up” was released April 10th and shows versatility from the artist. Enzo has also released collab projects like “Patek” (feat. SteveOTG & Quiz), and “Killin’ Em” with RA, and has featured in Balenci’s “Caramel” along with Bsleezy. So far, he has shown a lot of versatility in the six projects that have been released up to date, providing a different sound and vibe for every single.
