LONG ISLAND, NY – The popular cartoon “Jimmy Neutron” is probably not the first show people would choose as a favorite for a young man raised by Jamaican parents. But for Bijon Roberts – AKA Red Dott – that’s exactly the show that he points to not only as a favorite of his youth, but as the inspiration for a new single that’s been making waves across the hip-hop world over the past four months. The 22-year-old who hails from Long Island has been grinding for the past few years, trying to create a niche in the music industry and display his own unique style and sound. He’s seen a modicum of success, but his newest single is one that he hopes will take his name and his music to the next level. “It’s a single about being smart,” he said of the single that he named after the cartoon of the same name. “It’s a little bit of a different flow and it definitely has a different vibe to it. The song came about one day as I was in the garage smoking and thinking about my favorite TV show. It’s a good show – it’s funny and it has a lot of adventures. And that’s what my single is like. It’s a club banger with a lot of energy and hype, which describes me to a T. I’m hype but I’m calm at the same time, if I want to be. But when it comes to my music I can give you that explosion that makes you want to dance.” Red Dott said that though he grew up with Jamaican parents and had a lot of that culture infused within his family, it wasn’t the music of the Islands that served as his earliest inspirations. Instead it was pop icons like Michael Jackson and Prince. In fact, when he was younger he would often bust out dance moves that he learned from Michael Jackson – something that he said was the first steps toward becoming an entertainer. Eventually he grew to enjoy rap and hip-hop, following artists such as Designer, Spaz, Fabulous, Robbie Smurder and Young MA. He had a friend who would always come over to his house and rap, and eventually Red Dott began to rap with him. “One time I was in the garage by myself and I wrote a song by myself, and he got on it with me later,” Red Dott said. “People started telling me I sounded alright. Around the same time Rowdy Rebel did a song called ‘Bean Jawn,’ but when he says it, it sounds like he’s saying my name – Bijon. People thought that was funny, and in that same song he starts saying, ‘Red Dott, Red Dott.’ That’s when people started calling me that.” Today Red Dott said he hopes to make music that people can be energized by and which will make people want to “dance and move their feet.” “I want people to enjoy their day when they listen to my songs,” he said. “I want to give them good vibes – to nod their heads and pump their fists. I want them to be alive.” Fans who want to sample some of Red Dott’s music can visit his Soundcloud page.

MIAMI, FL – When you have a dream that you can’t wait to share with the world, and you finally receive the opportunity to let loose with the talent and skill you’ve been storing up for years, sometimes the moment can be overwhelming – both for you and others around you. Success is destined for Bigg Erupt, a rising hip-hop artist out of Miami, Florida. The musician who has been making music for many years and who is getting ready to release his eighth studio album entitled “Family Over Everything,” wasn’t always in the vast place in which he finds himself today. Growing up on the streets, he made some bad decisions that eventually landed him in prison. It was a huge wake-up call for him, and he spent most of his time in the penitentiary trying to figure out what he would do when he was released that would be legitimate and could make him enough money to support himself and his family. “I knew I wanted to tell my story, and while I was locked up I got into a couple of cyphers and rap battles, and people encouraged me to pursue a career in the music industry when I got out,” he said. ‘I had lyrics, bars, a story to tell, and every day that went by I felt the need to let people hear that. I got out in 1999 and contacted one of my friends who had a mutual acquaintance who was getting ready to start a record label. That’s how it all begin. When I finally got in the studio, He spit for the first time for a producer named Redd Dot. I just went off erupted on the track and just exploded and put all my passion on that track. Afterward, he told me, ‘You just erupted!’ And that’s how I got my name, and it’s been my reputation ever since. When I rap, I put everything into it – all my passion, every emotion, and every raw, real feeling into every verse.” That passion served him well in the early stages of his career. He put together countless shows all along the East Coast and throughout the Southwest region of the country. He also has performed and collaborated alongside major independent artists such as C-Ride, Pit Bull, Rick Ross, The Florida Boyz and Blood Raw, just to name a few. Today, nearly 20 years after he first started his music career, he goes by the name Bigg E. His new album, “Family Over Everything,” is a project that he’s particularly proud of because it’s one that he got to collaborate on with his brother. “It’s coming from a personal place,” he said. “It talks about my life and some of the struggles I’ve been through these last couple of years. It’s real music. When I began this project, I was transitioning out of the streets and to focus on my career as an artist. I wanted to be successful and live to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Family Over Everything is based on real current events and now I am ready to share it with the world.” The album is set to release March 31 on Cdbaby.com/biggerupt. Fans who want to sample some of his music can visit his Soundcloud page, or check out some of his music videos on his YouTube channel. Fans can also follow him in social media on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to find out more about upcoming music releases or live performances. BROOKLYN, NY – When Mel Gates was growing up as a child in Brooklyn, New York, there were two things he could always count on when he woke up on a weekend: good breakfast and wake up music. “Those two things were always going on with my mom,” he said. “When we woke up on a Saturday or Sunday we always smelled good food cooking and we heard good music playing, like Anita Baker or Keith Sweat. Every weekend that’s what we would do, and it gave me a love for music just as a listener. Over the years I began to develop my own taste in music, and some of that was influenced by my uncle who would always play this old-school hip-hop. That’s how I became a hip-hop junkie. By the time I was 18 I was starting to think about wanting to rap. A good friend of mine wrote my first rhyme and I learned it and spit that one rhyme for like a whole year. People were always asking for that rhyme and it really encouraged me to start doing music on my own.” Before a new music career could really launch for Gates, however, he found himself in trouble with the law and sentenced to two years in jail. Though he would never choose to repeat the experience, his time in jail did allow him to discover a passion for writing that he said he never would have otherwise realized. “For some reason being in there and doing time, I started learning how to write for myself,” he said. “It was mostly violent lyrics, and in there people called me Murder Mel because everything I rapped about was hard-core. I became a battle rapper while I was in there, and every time a new guy would come to jail who could rap, they would come find me. Everyone started to call me Murder Mel. But as soon as I got out I realized I wouldn’t make money with that kind of name and those violent lyrics. So I transitioned to Mel Gates and became a little more commercial.” Today Mel Gates is an accomplished hip-hop artist whose work has been featured on radio stations and blogs all along the northeast. His most recent single, “Show Me,” is set to drop at the end of February and showcases an evolution as an artist into the kind of musician that fans just can’t get enough of. “It’s a club hit,” he said. “It’s a fun record – a ‘having a good time’ record. It has a really good sound that most people are probably going to compare to a Lean Back record or a Fat Joe record. It has that kind of energy to it; that feel of being a club banger. It’s basically about a group of guys coming into the club and looking to have a good night. We’re all looking to meet that one girl for the night, and when this record comes on they see this girl who is beautiful and amazing and doing movies on the dance floor that fits everything she’s representing. The name of the single is a nod to the idea of ‘show me some more.’” Gates said he’s currently shooting a music video to accompany the release of the single. “Show Me” is also the first single off an album that he hopes to release in late April or early May. Fans who want to sample his music can check out his Soundcloud page or purchase his music on iTunes. Fans can also follow him on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for updates about upcoming music releases or live performances. BETHLEHEM, PA – Most people who think about a hip-hop artist don’t think of an Italian-American. That demographic of U.S. Citizen doesn’t typically associate with that style of music. Joey Capo breaks the mold. As a second-generation Italian-American whose ancestors immigrated from Abruzzo, Italy to America, Joey is all about representing his heritage while also embracing new avenues of expression through music. In fact, his approach to music creation is to use the greatness of those who have come before and find new ways of presenting that style of music in ways that are original and entertaining. “I think of it like if you were going to be an artist following someone like Michelangelo,” he said. “You might use the same paint brush that he used, but you’re going to use it in a different way. That’s how I view my style of music. I use vocals and styles of hip-hop that people would recognize because it’s been used before, but it’s different and unique and original. One of the main ways you would notice that difference is that I like to keep more of a pop-type radio-thing to my vocals. I also like to bring more of an atmosphere of jazz and almost an open-mic type of vibe. I’m more poetic. I like to talk to people through my music. And, of course, having an Italian background helps me stand out all on its own.” Joey’s grandfather – Joseph Cappelli, for whom Joey is named after – was a professional accordion player in an Italian band. Unlike some Italian boys at the time who pursued sports, Cappelli’s father encouraged him to learn music – and so he started learning every instrument he could and eventually created his own band. Eventually his father immigrated to the U.S., and though he passed away a year before Joey was born, his influence on the family was well established and would leave its mark on young Joey. “Not only was I named after him, but I also inherited his love of music,” Joey said. “I was always interested in music, and I think that’s because a piece of him was a part of me. Growing up, my mom’s favorite type of music was hip-hop, which was not normal for an Italian family. She loved Biggie, and I grew up listening to him all the time. I love the artistry of that genre and the soul of R&B, and of course music as a general art-form. Eventually what was a hobby turned into a career.” Recently Joey Capo dropped his single – a 4:25-long song called “Gimme A Minute.” It’s a song that he said was born out of his experiences of rising fame and success. With each new fan and each additional successful venture, he said it seemed like another person was pulling him in a different direction or critiquing him in a different way or suggesting something new. “This song talks about letting me do me and take in this moment for a second without people trying to pull me in different directions or kill my vibe,” he said. “I really wanted to put a lot of creativity into it. There are a lot of flows and melodic feels, although it switches up toward the end. Ultimately, I’m talking about this idea of live and let live. Our world is filled with a lot of judgment and people tell you what to do and being critical. Let’s just allow people to live and not worry about drama. If we do that then we can all be on that sort of high that you get when things are positive. I want to reach out to people with this song and send out that message.” Fans who want to purchase the single can download it on any of the digital streaming sites, such as Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon and more. Fans can also check out more of Joey Capo’s music on his Soundcloud page or on his website at joeycapomusic.com.

To follow will be "Bittersweet" which both are edgy and refreshing for all ages. "My music is fun with a twist...definitely gets you on your feet," says Kyla. "I want women to know you can be sexy without risking your integrity." As an artist Kyla's main goal is to uplift fans by producing music they'll relate to and find attractive.

Before she began singing and writing songs, Kyla wrote poems. "I wrote my first poem in 6th grade called 'What's Wrong with the Color.' My mom thought I copied my poem out of a book," says Kyla. A few years later, at age 13 a producer transformed her poem into a song which she recorded. This triggered Kyla's passion for music so she wrote her first song "Get Ready" and started a girl group with her bestfriends named Y2K. In 2005, Kyla was featured as a background singer for a popular boy group known as Pretty Ricky on their hit song "Call Me." She received training while attending the legendary New World School of the Arts which helped mold and perfect her craft. During schooling she studied music theory, piano, and classical music. She also had frequent vocal lessons and learned how to read music which has helped tremendously during her professional career. "I feel well-rounded and very comfortable in the studio because of my previous training," Kyla said. Management believes that her creative edge adds flare to her style.
