SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARTIST

Latest Show Recap

Friday, 10 August 2018 was the Premiere Show for THE SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARTIST, and what a show it was!

SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARTIST Episode 1

1.

Chiefmappster ( @chiefmappster ) spoke to us to inform us of his new project,
Coffee 'N Crypto with EasyDex Discord show Wednesday at 3 PM Eastern Standard Time / 7 PM UTC on the EasyDex Discord server. He also provided an update about the Steemit Music League ( #smlchallenge ) & the Beat Battle League ( #beatbattle ) contests.

2.

Jeff Leinwand ( @jeffleinwand ) presented his recording "Sweat“ while telling us how hot it is now in Karlsruhe, Germany and how hot the club scene was in Berlin when he lived there and how it inspired him to record this tune.

3.

Priscilla Hernandez aka @yidneth sang live an excerpt from her new release, "Feel the Thrill“ then chatted about the theme of the piece, not so much literally encouraging the audience to run wild in the streets without clothes (unless they're inclined to do so), but to remember that wild and almost feral innocence we may have forgotten.

4.

Bjorn Niclas Co-Founder of Choon came on to speak of how Choon leapfrogged its competition to become the leading blockchain-based, token-rewarding streaming music platform, siting a Citi GPS: Global Perspectives & Solutions whitepaper quoting how in 2017, artists captured just 12% of music revenue with most of the value leakage driven by the costs of running a myriad of distribution platforms and how Choon will correct for this legacy for a more equitable business landscape for musicians, producers, and even listeners!

5.

Junkfeathers ( @junkfeathers ) shared with us his "Safe To Feel“ electroacoustic recording featuring powerful lyrics and vocals, bright nylon-string guitar picking, and tasteful synthesizer patches bringing up the bottom and filling in for accompaniment. He also spoke of his new release "Plumology".

6.

Segovia (aka @elbrujo) closed our show with his tune, Our Love Died Last Night, and spoke of his artistic process and how he's finding his voice as a young music producer, and particularly how finding the samples for his recordings is, in itself, a phenomenon of synchronicity.
