What started as popular videos on YouTube have since catapulted ESMEE DENTERS to musical stardom having since been signed to Justin Timberlake’s Tennman Records.  With the release of her album, Outta Here, and an upcoming European tour with R&B pop star Ne-Yo, Esmee’s meteroic rise has no plans in slowing down.  Taken from Esmee’s official bio:

It may have been her YouTube popularity that led [Justin[Timberlake to seek out Esmée six months after her videos began to appear online, but it was her silky, soulful voice, natural charisma, and songwriting talent that sold him on signing her to his label, executive producing and co-producing the majority of her debut album. Timberlake, Chairman/CEO of Tennman Records says, “One of the reasons I started my label was to be able to discover and mentor new talent, and it’s been a great experience guiding Esmée’s development. I’ve been producing her in the studio and working with some other great collaborators on her album, and I’ve seen her writing go to another level. Some people have it and some people don’t - but this girl’s the real deal!” In the summer of 2007, Justin and Esmée began to write songs together. “Sometimes I would come up with a title and he would suggest a melody,” Esmée says, “or I would come up with a melody and he’d suggest some lyrics. There were no rules.” Timberlake also lined up an impressive list of noted songwriters and producers to collaborate with him and Esmée, such as Polow Da Don (Usher, Ciara), Stargate (Rihanna, Ne-Yo), OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder (Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield), and Toby Gad (Beyoncé, Fergie).

Hailing from Virginia Beach, DAYS DIFFERENCE is comprised of brothers Jeremy (vocals, keyboard) and Jonathan Smith (drums) and brothers Jeremiah (guitar) and Micah Ricks (bass) and makes their Stickam debut today with a live fanchat from the road at 3 PM PDT!  You can join DAYS DIFFERENCE every Thursday at 1 PM PDT all summer!!!

Taken from their official bio:

Fully committed to giving the band a shot by May of 2006, Days Difference spent several years honing their propulsive pop sound by opening for artists such as Paramore, Lifehouse, Third Eye Blind, Jack’s Mannequin, and Yellowcard when those artists came through Virginia Beach. In 2007, they released an independent album, Numbers, then embarked on a nationwide tour, in which everything that could have gone wrong did: a tire on their trailer fell off, a show was canceled when the promoter got hit by a car, Jonathan got a concussion playing soccer, Micah broke his collarbone playing football, and they received a $500 parking ticket to top it all off. “I never really believed the whole ‘earn your keep’ thing, but we’ve really paid our dues,” Jeremy says.

Says Pure Volume:  “Hyper Crush is here. Straight out of Los Angeles via time travel, the three sh*t-faced extra terrestrials that make up the group are known simply as Donny, Preston, and Holly. Armed with fresh rhymes, funky beats, and enough neon to make you wear shades, these three will get you on the dance floor and moving. On May 1 the group released the party anthem of all time, ‘The Arcade.’ This monstrous album features 13 tracks of pure electro power. Hyper Crush seems to have the ‘rap game on constant chokehold status with songs like ‘Sex and Drugs’ and ‘Disco Tech.’ It seems to be that once these three mad geniuses set their minds to ruling the universe at large, there is nothing standing in their way.”

 Join Donny, Preston, and Holly for an exclusive fan chat live from the Stickam studio, Tuesday night 10/14 at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST.

So effing metal. Black Tide shreds it in Islington, London.

They’ve opened up the mainstage for the 2007 OZZfest, released their first studio album, “Light From Above” on Interscope, and are heading out for yet another tour throughout Europe; and they’re not even old enough to legally drink. The Miami-based, headbangin’ kids from BLACK TIDE have been making waves from Los Angeles to Le Mans with their heavy metal riffs influenced by legendary 80s metal behemoths like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer.  Led by guitarist Gabriel Garcia, who Rolling Stone hailed as a “metal prodigy”, BLACK TIDE has been shredding it onstage… and off.

Tune in today at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST for a live chat with BLACK TIDE and find out how you can be in their next music video for “Shout”!
