Shaun Martin - 'Light in Dark Places'
Super talented Shaun Martin brings his mid-century 'modern' jazz rhythms to the 2020's, with the help of Mike "Blaque Dynamite" Mitchell and Matthew Ramsey. Love this new track 'Light in Dark Places' which includes his clever use of synth keyboards. #shaunmartin #lightindarkplaces #mikemitchell #blaquedynamite #matthewramsey #jazz #modernjazz #jeeni #music #musicians #independent #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans

Burning Cage
Burning Cage is about being able to express yourself for who you are; by burning the symbolic "cage" of societal constraints you can find the real you. Ariana is a 16 year old British sing-songwriter who's classical training in piano and singing from a young age has developed into a love of composing and performing. Her style is a potpourri of alternative, pop, rock and folk music, she had a wide compass of influences: ranging from Kate Bush, Supertramp, AURORA and Birds to Johannes Brahms, Leonard Bernstein, Michael Legrand, John Barry and Justin Hurwitz.
