Dezaray Dawn - Can't Look Down

Dezaray Dawn is a Southern United States based, German born singer. This cross continental upbringing is reflected in her music where you can hear influences from the likes of Jazzanova, 2000 Black and Marc Mac in the production married with the quality you expect from American vocalists



Can't Look Down is a sampler of her forthcoming "Chameleon" EP which I for one will be purchasing the moment it is released.

Nicholas Kopernicus Audiocentric

Nicholas Kopernicus is an instrumental duo that consists of Producer/Pianist/Songwriter Jason "classicbeatz" Minnis and Guitarist/Songwriter Seon Gomez. Their debut album Audiocentric,(dropping mid august 09) can be described as a modern journey through music of the African Diaspora. Afrobeat, Funk, Soul, Blues,Folk, Reggae, and Hip Hop are just a few of the influences that can be heard throughout the project.
Additional contributions from musicians like Dylan Heaney(saxophone), Brandy Means(flute), Manuel Lopez(percussion) and well as many others, help Audiocentric maintain an authenticity and groove that will keep the listener engaged from start to finish. These diverse influences as well as a focus on quality musicianship make Audiocentric a must have album for music fans of all stripes.
