At the young age of 23, Sammy Wilk is a man of many talents. He’s a model, a levitator, and a songwriter who can jot down a whole track in just 20 minutes, and an amazing artist who recently dropped his 5-track EP Keep It In The Middle. As a rising social media star who initially became known from his 6 second videos on the late video-making app Vine (R.I.P.), Sammy has moved on to doing things he actually enjoys.
On Thursday, Singer-songwriter Riah performed tracks from her debut EP Heartbreak Magic at the SoHo house in NYC. Her angelic voice is ironically the embodiment of her hometown, the City of Angels also known as Los Angeles. The EP includes 6 tracks that are fairly short but will surely draw you in.
What do artists like Eminem, DJ Snake, Bebe Rexha, Faith Evans, Usher and Trey Songz all have in common?

In this day and age where R&B/Soul music has made a big comeback after initially forgotten about once the 90’s and early 2000’s came to an end, Dana Williams is creating her own lane in the reemerging genre.
With a warm and sultry tone that is often compared to the likes of legends Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, the Los Angeles native is consistent in her vocal delivery. In 2014 she released her first EP in 2013 entitled The Lonely One and placed 4th in the U.S. talent competition show Rising Star.
Since then, she has collaborated with some of Hip-Hop’s most talented MC’s including Freddie Gibbs, Rejjie Snow & Amine and Boogie, and even won 4th place on the U.S. talent competition show Rising Star.
She performed for an intimate group of fans at a private performance at the SoHo House in NYC last night, where she sung a collection of her most popular songs like Preach, Worst in Me and her latest single Holiday.
Her usual soul-stirring and solemn tone takes a step back in Holiday, an upbeat yet soulful summer tune. Holiday is only one of at least 60 songs that the singer-songwriter says she wrote over the course of 2 months.

“I’m a coffin girl in my real life but Desna is a stiletto girl. We all have a different nail shape on the show. Virginia is coffin, Polly is oval, Jenn is square and Ann is more of a natural, very short length” is how Niecy described her castmates’ preferred claws. “We all have a different nail the show that speaks to our own personalities.”
