In the 1980’s the American music scene experienced what was called, by some, the “Second British Invasion”. The first, of course, being that of The Beetles in the 1960’s. This new wave of rhythmic pop ushered in cutting edge sounds by groups like The Police and UB40. By the end of the decade George Michael would bring the pop throne to the other side of the Atlantic.Today there is a new English face ready to claim the prize of pop music celebrity. Singer/songwriter Nick Audain, who hails from the streets of London, is ready and able to top the global charts with his sexually-charged, high energy brand of dance music. Uptempo tracks like “Sex-Toy (Hot Sex is a Must)” and “THUG IT OUT ” give Nick Audain’s listeners infectious dance tracks for the club scene while steamier songs like “Friends With Benefits”(Take it Off) and “Strip Tease” seductively summon his listeners in to far more private regions of his world.Nick Audain’s self-authored songs are brilliantly produced by long-time collaborator Will Taylor who has recorded for icons like Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas Rihanna & Kylie Minogue as well as Hip Hop staples Jadakis. The duo provide a platform for Nick Audain’s energetic music videos and live performances which continue to thrill his loyal fans and attract new ones. http://www.nickaudain.com/
Nhojj Song is a force that exudes his passion for love and life, a tone that resounds in both whisper and wail, and a consciousness that, without being preachy, speaks truth to power, Nhojj has spent more than a decade becoming what some regard as a “soul pioneer”. “I want to make the world better…one song at a time!” Nhojj says, a statement that underscores a classic soul tradition of having a “message in the music”.
More distinctive than his trademark flowing locs or striking features is that Nhojj is a songwriter who understands lyricism, a vocalist who projects his voice as an instrument, and an entertainer with a mysterious magnetism that has compelled International audiences for years. With an essence that is as sweet as it is strong, Nhojj is the self-affirming “warrior” noted in his award-winning anthem Gay Warrior Song. His fight is not for power or prestige. In fact, after 7 CDs (5 studio), 15 singles and an Unplugged Live DVD (filmed by Emmy-nominated director Bill Cote), Nhojj best fights for love through the courageous magic of his songs
