Star song: Stay the Same – Stephanie Santiago

Stephanie Santiago

Well guys, I have a REAL treat for you today! Let me introduce to the super-talented STEPHANIE SANTTIAGO and her latest cover of BONOBO’s track of Stay the Same.

The Londoner has been penning songs since the age of 11 and now she is more than ready to make her mark in the UK indie soul scene. The self-taught guitarist possesses a real rich, magical and (I must say) very sultry vocals that will stop you in your tracks – If you don’t believe me, listen to the super-soothing Stay the Same.

If you’re really feeling her performance, there’s more where that came from…head over to her SoundCloud page….and listen to her heart-tugging song, Let Me In. Absolutely stunning!

Star Song: Beautiful Sunrise – Nizell

Nizell who is he

Today’s song is Beautiful Sunrise by Canadian rapper NIZELL. This track is coming from his EP, Who Is He? released last year (by Built2Last Entertainment.)

NIZELL’s music journey stretched back to 2002, where he performed under the name TDOT. He released an album on an independent label which sold over 5,000 copies. NIZELL went on to work with a string of artists and producers in Canada and the US and has performed in Acapulco, Mexico, Calgary, London and Ontario. In 2006, he released his mixtape, TDot’s Finest Pt.1 followed by TDot’s Finest Pt.2 in the summer of 2011.

NIZELL re-established his sound with the release of 2012 mixtape, Like I Never Left (Built2Last Entertainment), which received raving reviews across the net. This guy kept on rolling as just a few months after the release of Like I Never Left, NIZELL dropped his latest EP, Who Is He? This ten-track production displays lyrics of personal experience, struggle and pain coupled with some seriously dope beats.

Take time out and listen to Beautiful Sunrise. If this is your first time listening to NIZELL, I bet it won’t be the last! More of his tracks are available on iTunes.
