Interview with the "PENSTRESS" Singer/Songwriter Samm

Samantha Hope Evans, also known as Samm, was born and raised in Oakland, California on March 26, 1984. By the age of five, Samm never imagined that music would be her life’s passion, but little did she know, everything she was doing brought her closer to it. She participated in every school and church musical, singing solos and duets, growing closer to on of her best friends, the microphone! Samm ignored all of these connections because all she knew was music and that she loved to sing! It wasn’t until Samm reached middle school, in which she began writing poetry. At such a young age, Samm had a lot to say. Her concepts were deep and meaningful, which lit a fire to her songwriting abilities.

So....Let’s Talk Music


Q: If you had a chance to collaborate with any mainstream artist who would it be with? And why?

Samm: If I could collaborate with ANY mainstream artist, it would be Beyonce Knowles. I have followed her music career since Destiny’s Child came out with “No, No, No”. I knew she was going to be a star because of her voice. Very different! Everything she touches is amazing to me, from her performances to her vocal arrangements! I would love to get a chance to sit in the lab with her, while she is either recording a song that I wrote, or preparing for a duet with NONE OTHER, ME! Lol…

Q: if you could choose an era of music to relive again which one would you go back in time to?

Samm: I would have to say that “Old School” R&B. Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, and so many more wonderful artists. To me, that was real music, real singing and emotions. There were no 808’s, hardcore singing, rap/singing; it was legit feel good music! Still gets me every time!

Q: When did you realize that music was what you wanted to do? Can you remember the how you felt at the time?

Samm: I realized I wanted to do music, when I recorded my first, well-written song “Sad Song”, at the age of 15. I have been singing since I was 4 years old in church, school, and everywhere, but it was not until I wrote my own lyrics and recorded my vocals, in which I fell in love with “my” music passion. I have always loved music, and loved to sing, but I never thought I would be a singer, or songwriter. I began to surround myself with the studio and other artists. That’s what did it! I felt at home. It was a place I could go, when I wanted to express myself creatively. There is nothing like music!

Q: How did you come up with the concept for your single “Rider” Feat. Erk the Jerk?

Samm: I was in the studio with Producer Bedrock, and we had nothing. We made the beat from scratch! He started with a baseline and a weird synthesizer thingy, lol. I just started humming a melody, and then quickly put some words together. Once Bedrock heard what I was saying, and how I was singing the melody, he began adding all sorts of crazy instruments to the beat! It was some for real “magic in the making”. I initially thought of my first single, “Come On” ft. Kaz Kyzah. I wanted to do a part 2 for that song. I am all about a woman’s confidence! I think most women are confident, and it’s good to hear a song that you can relate to. Even if it really doesn’t apply to you, for that one second you hear it, you can be that woman! That’s it with me. Music motivates you and stimulates something inside, which pushes out boldness! Lyrics are important! So, every time I write a song, I base it off of how I feel, how women feel or even how men may feel. Regardless of who it is, somebody is going to feel it!

Q: What’s next for you? Will we be hearing and seeing more from you in the near future?

Samm: What’s next for me?? Story of my life, lol. You will definitely be seeing and hearing from me in the near future! Right now, I am just trying to get back out there! I took a long break, but I am back now. I have been working with everybody. Writing hooks, writing songs for others, as well as myself, and just networking! Networking is crucial! My goal is to put out a big demo project with all of my works. No matter what it is, you will be hearing about “Samm”.

Interview with R&B singer Deja Bryson

Déjà Bryson is a rising singer and songwriter from Richmond, CA. Her album “I’m Power” is a smooth R&B record designed to empower listeners. It is available on iTunes, Amazon.com & All Rasputin locations. Find out more about Déjà Bryson at www.dejabryson.com


So….Let’s talk music

Q: Do you remember the first song you ever performed and how did you feel before you got on stage?

Deja: The first song I performed was at UC Berkeley for a recital. The song was called “Caro Mio Ben” the lyrics were Italian, and I was scared out of my mind!

Q: Who is your inspiration and what made you decide to take singing to the next level?

Deja: I’m inspired by so many things and people. I love my old school artists like Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Ronald Isley, Marvin Gaye and Peabo Bryson, but I also love R. Kelly, Aaliyah, Tupac, Jay-Z, & Mary J. Blige.

I decided to take my music to another level when I recognized I had something to say, and a magnificent way of saying it. God blessed me with some very special talents and I felt/feel it’s my calling to make music for the world.

Q: What are some challenges that you face being an up and coming artist?

Deja: The biggest challenge is balancing out what I like and foreseeing what people will like. It takes a lot of guts to create something and present it to the world for their judgment. Everyone thinks they’re an expert. So I have to ignore them when
their opinion doesn’t matter, and listen when it does.

It’s also challenging to make music from the heart when so much music is made for a specific event, place or purpose. Genuine music is not predetermined, it just flows naturally.

And although these things can be challenging, they’re necessary for growth and improvement and I welcome them as an artist because it keeps me from being complacent.

Q: Being an artist do you like performing more than being in the studio?

Deja: I’d rather perform any day. There’s a high that comes from standing in front of a room full of people and being the focal point. To be able to make people escape with you and give them even a snippet of your gift and your message is irreplaceable. But, I do love recording! It’s a time to be intimate with yourself. You find out how you really feel in a recording session and to bring that energy to a record and be able to go back and play it anytime is also a high.

Q: What is next for Deja Bryson?

Deja: I’m on the rise so right now I have a lot of hard work to do! I’ll be doing an “I’m Power Promo Campaign” to introduce people to my first album, “I’m Power.”(Available now on iTunes, Amazon.com, & All Rasputin locations) This campaign launches in April 2010. I’m also working on new music for a sophomore project. This is the most exciting time of my life, because I see my hard work beginning to pay off. I know what message I want to send to the world, and I’m in a wonderful position to do it.

On the Come up: LA Rap Artist Yung Brodee

Determined to avoid the dangerous realities of LA gangbangin', Yung Brodee speaks on behalf of the youth that take a stance against violence.
Initially inspired by the deaths and incarceration of his childhood friends, "The Good Die Young," is dedicated to Derrion Albert of Chicago, Haiti, Chile and many others who are gone too soon.
First single off of the album 100 Percent Authentic dropping in April. Shot in Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles.




Marques "Brodee" Edwards (born in Los Angeles, California) is a rapper and actor signed to Fly Money Entertainment. His name derives from LA slang meaning brother or friend. Having an older brother who was heavily into Hip Hop would have a great influence on him as a young man. Brodee would memorize his brother's rhymes and create his own versions and perform them as much as possible. Though his brother did not take music as anything more than a hobby, Brodee would dream of becoming a star in the Hip Hop world for years to come. Determined to avoid the dangerous realities of LA gangbangin', he would see Hip Hop as a way to avoid the fate of death and jail like many of his childhood friends. While attending Long Beach Poly High School he would form a group with friends Lil Petey and AJ called Hoodstars.

After a year of writing songs and passing out cd's for fellow classmates, the group would disband leaving Brodee to go at his musical ambitions alone. Reaching out to his older brother Doughtnuts for support and backing would spawn his independent label Fly Money Ent. Dropping his first mixtape "Who is Yung Brodee" which spawned the regional hit "Local Celebrity" would gain him new hometown fans and cement his standing as a potential superstar. Collaborating with friend and rising star Nipsey Hussle on the song and video "CEO" off of Bullets Ain't Got No Name Vol. 3 would be his first introduction to mainstream Hip Hop audiences in early 2009. According to Brodee "Nipsey gave me my first major look and he has given me a lot of advice about the music industry". Up next is his debut album "100 Percent Authentic" which he is recording for a early 2010 release and preparing to debut a single before the close of 2009. Executive produced by Brodee and Doughnuts, this album will be his introduction to the Hip Hop world and establish his new sound from LA that does not rely on just rapping about gang life, lo lo's, or weed.

On The Come Up: Hip Hop Artist IZZO

One of hip-hops most exciting new artists, IZZO is certain to put the tiny state of Rhode Island on the map in a major way. Unpretentious and eager to continue to evolve and perfect his craft, this exuberant 26 year old seethes with confidence. As the first male recording artist to be signed under LL Cool Js new record label Platinum Harvest Productions, IZZO certainly has many reasons to feel self-assured.

Born Arthur Edward Zaiden, IZZO never knew his biological father or the Colombian/Lebanese roots that embodies him. He was raised by his mother and grandmother. In 1993, Arthur was adopted by his stepfather, Joseph Izzo, from whom he took his last name.

Passionate about music from an early age, IZZO grew up listening to an eclectic collection of music ranging from rock to R&B, Nirvana to LL Cool J, and Jay-Z. When asked how he discovered rapping, IZZO candidly answers, "I was just a fan of good music, fan of the poetry, how you could sink into a certain song over and over... in my high school years I became a DJ so I could be more part of the music." Inspired by the melodic singsong rap hybrid of Nelly and by hip-hop legends Tupac and LL Cool J—IZZO began rapping in college and quickly pioneered a unique sound of his own. IZZO burst into the public sphere in 2006 with his first single,"Listen to Your Heart". Within months the song was riding the airwaves of some of the most popular radio stations along the east coast, Australia, and Germany.

IZZO's talent was immediately recognized by LL Cool J, an artist he has been inspired by since childhood. In the beginning of 2008 LL Cool J offered IZZO a contract, officially welcoming him to the Platinum Harvest Productions family. Since then, IZZO has worked alongside the musical icon while recording his highly anticipated new album. "I think I made an album that pays tribute to the artists that inspired me and at the same time I was able to put my own unique sound into it." Never one to speak on what is outside of his domain, IZZO delivers to the listener what is real to him, "I find my inspiration from my fans. Every time you step on stage, the people's faces make you feel hyped and excitedthe fact you can move someone, make someone dance, make someone cry, all from a song."

While recording his own album, IZZO appeared in the music video for LL Cool J's summer hit "Baby" featuring Dream, and has opened up for LL Cool J including a show at the famous Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Most recently, IZZO recorded and filmed a SEARS commercial for LL Cool J's new clothing line.

With his momentum and fan base rising by the day, 2010 will prove to be a huge year both musically and personally. Equipped with a perfect combination of charisma, wit, and fresh lyrical content, IZZO is ready to take his exhilarating style and sound to the top of the charts.

Way Back Wednesday: The Roots

Though popular success has largely impacted the Roots, the Philadelphia group showed the way for live rap, building on Stetsasonic's "hip-hop band" philosophy of the mid-'80s by focusing on live instrumentation at their concerts and in the studio. Though their album works have been inconsistent affairs, more intent on building grooves than pushing songs, the Roots' live shows are among the best in the business.
