New Artist Spotlight

This time on NAS 10 Questions we get to know Upwood Avenue. Many of us are already very familiar with the legend that is Ed Corrado, a Canada-based artist who has featured many a “Time” on the NAS Top 20 and is a long-standing member of the community, however, it may have slipped under your radar that he is back now with Upwood Avenue along with Piero Minelli and let me tell you, these “Two Souls” (You see what I’m doing, right?!) are bringing the indie soft rock vibes with clear influences like Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, and The Clash to name but a few. They have also re-released the above-mentioned classics, so be sure to add them to your rotation.

Please go check out their awesome newest track

This time on The NAS 10 Questions, we get to know Unobliterated, a collaborative project which is the brainchild of Gary Taylor. Gary isoriginally from the UK but now resides in Portugal. Influences include Pearl Jam, U2, and Placebo to name a few for this indie rock project.

The track “Feels so Good” is featured on NAS Playlists.

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.

This time, we get to know Kyle M Watson, a singer songwriter from Brooklyn New York. Born in St. Thomas Barbados Kyle started singing at the early age of 11 years old and like many other artists he began singing in the church. 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!

“Alexa, play something smooth!”

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.

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.
