Music Spotlight: Graffiti6

Pop Duo From Across The Pond

Music Spotlight: Graffiti6

I love my music from across the pond I do…and here’s another UK musical find that I’ve been obsessing over and listening to non-stop for over a week. Their new album ‘Colours’ is brilliant (available on iTunes).

Back in 2008, singer/songwriter Jamie Scott (who has a crazy ressemblance to Nick Lachey) and Producer/Songwriter Tommy D started collaborating together in London…and eventually the two would become the pop/rock duo Graffiti6.

The duo has already had songs featured on MTV’s Teen Wolf, VH1’s Basketball Wives & Football Wives, One Tree Hill, Grey’s Anatomy, Suits, FIFA 2012 and CSI: NY.

And to their latest list of accomplishments, Graffiti6 have just been chosen as VH1's You Ought To Know Artists for March 2012.

So take a listen—they are so damn good. If you love the feel of Duffy, Bruno Mars, James Morrison & Elise LeGrow, you’ll love Graffiti6. And you can follow them along on Twitter at @Graffiti6

Bell Media Emerging Artist

Fresh Canadian Talent

Bell Media Emerging Artist

Bell Media has this fantastic initiative to support up and coming Canadian musical talent called the "Bell Media Emerging Artist."

Every month one new Canadian artist is chosen by a panel of judges and the winner for that month is featured on radio stations all across the country.
 
Over the last few months the finds have been really impressive and reaffirm just how amazingly talented the music scene in this country really is.
 
There has been Scotty James—who was featured here on the Bsides, and then last month there was Liz Coyles from London, Ontario. Think Canada's answer to Natasha Bedingfield and Colbie Caillat.
 
 
 
And just yesterday the Emerging Artist for February was announced. Her name? Elise LeGrow. Her vibe is that smokey-voiced throwback sound that we've come to know and love from artists like Duffy and Adele. It's retro sounding and it's so good and damn catchy.
 
The track is called...No Good Woman.
 
 
You can download 'No Good Woman' on iTunes.
