J Music: Julia Easterlin at B.B. Kings, Looping Artist

From the opening notes she captured the audience. I fathom for many concert-goers it was their first exposure to “looping” live.

Julia Easterlin is a vocalist and loop artist wielding composition, production and performance in one fell swoop. One part siren and one part technologist, she uses looping hardware to build a one-woman chorus live onstage.This rare sound has driven Julia to recent performances at Lollapalooza, SXSW, MIDEM, CMJ, and the TEDxWomen Conference.

She performed about 4 or 5 songs (a bit long for an opening act to retain an audience’s attention), but everything she performed was well received. You could hear a pin drop as everyone marveled at her ability to create the beats, harmonies, and lead vocals live with great precision. To top if off Julia has a great voice, poise, and the ability to create a calming emotional connection with everyone in the room.

Watch Julia perform “Eyes on the Prize” below.  She also goes into a short explanation of looping.

Just listening to her music does not do it justice — you have to see & hear her live!

J Music: JoJo Performs “Demonstrate” Live at NYFW 


I wish her label would properly support this single because it should be playing on urban radio across the US!!! I say it every time I do a Jojo post, but this girl has true talent. She tweeted her frustration a few days ago (now deleted), but I hope she starts getting the exposure she deserves.

JoJo showcased her new single “Demonstrate” live for the first time during Fashion Week at the Metropolitan Pavillion in New York on Tuesday. Strutting down the runway in a short black dress and stilettos, the 21-year-old singer set the sexy mood before the Front Row fashion show at STYLE360.

I first came across Rozzi Crane while watching her cover with Scott Hoying of Pentatonix (♥). I really like her tone and her range really surprised me.  As you can tell from the video, she’s kind of a big deal.
