This time, we get to know Water Rise, AKA Arnaud Legrand, a multi-inst
umentalist and rock artist based in France.
“Why Water Rise? I like this name because it has a lot of meaning. – First of all because our planet earth is not in good shape and it’s not going to get any better. I’m worried about the legacy we’ll leave to our children. With all the climate changes we are currently experiencing, it is obvious to me to support this cause. – Then I like the idea of an unstoppable rock band, a bit like water that you can’t stop when it gushes. When I compose, it’s a bit in this state of mind that I find myself, the ideas flow and I can’t stop it.”
The track “Live Your Life” is featured in the New Artist Spotlight Family of Playlists.

He has a smooth, soulful style and is heavily inspired by R&B groups like Dru Hill, Jodeci and Boyz to Men.
The track “I’m Ready” is featured in the New Artist Spotlight Family of Playlists, and if anyone else is a 90s kid, you may recognize some Keith Sweat and Usher. Nice and smooth slow jam to make you feel all the feels!
This time, we get to know The Just Imagines, a soon to be husband and wife duo made up of Tyler Cressman – Instrumentalist (Guitar, Bass, Keys, Percussion and more), Vocals, Lyrics, Producer, and Ciroyelle – Lyrics, Vocals, Video Production, Visuals Art, Composer. Their trippy, hippy, multi-genre music is reminiscent of Led Zepplin, The Beatles, and other artists who made the sixties and flower-power movement so memorable, yet it’s uniquely their own style, and instantly recognizable. I admit, I have personally followed Tyler for over a year now after connecting through Twitter, and instantly fell in love with the sound, so I was very pleased to see The Just Imagines in the NAS community, and excited to get to know more behind their music.
The track “Let’s Find Our Way” is featured in the New Artist Spotlight Family of Playlists.
This time, we get to know Gerardo Guzman, a composer and producer of electronic music such as, Synthwave, Deep House, PsyTrance and Dubstep. He is based in Mexico, and produces in his free time.
“Beat after me…”
The track “Standing Hope” is featured in the New Artist Spotlight Family of Playlists.

The track “Genoa Bay (I Can’t Complain)” is featured in the New Artist Spotlight Family of Playlists and is reminiscent of some of the big bands of 90s brit-pop, Supergrass, Ash, and Ocean Color Scene, among others.
This time, we get to know The Damned Kirai, an electronic artist from Rome, Italy.
The music that he makes it’s not bound to a specific scheme, but is a vessel to express. His music is something that is different from what is commonly heard, and so is hard to confine into a genre, because what is produced is often a stream of consciousness that wants to bring the listener into an unexplored world, where you can accomodate and listen, in the domain of Electronic Dance Music.
