If the Government of India is actually giving your CD to diplomats and VIPs as its souvenirs, you know you've made it. BAPU is a flutist but his music transcends and even aids in foreign policy and dialogue among nations. How's that for achievement?

BAPU was born Bapu Padmanabha and grew up in Karnataka. As a youngster he discovered flute maestro Hariprasad Chaurasia and learned he was good at playing the flute as well. When he went to college, he finally met his idol and he became one of his favorite apprentices. BAPU would later be granted a Pana Devi Music Scholarship from no other than his guru.

From then, BAPU made great stride in the music community, attending various music festivals and showcasing his flair for the flute. Festivals such as OSHO Samadhi in Pune gave him the necessary exposure to excel and be known.

BAPU nowadays - besides being the Indian government's party favor for diplomats and VIPs - has become a stalwart performer, composer, and provider of original music scores for Kannada movies. BAPU is a sought after musician playing meditation, relaxation, fusion, and other eclectic music genres with his flute.

BAPU's two new albums, ‘Meditation Flute’ and ‘Journey with Shiva’, are worth the listen and relaxing to. Download them from iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves, a partner of Universal Music Group.

Social change can happen with the aid of many things. Some use their celebrity, some sell shirts, but for BUFALLO SOLDIER, he does it with his music. Music, you ask? Of course it can be done!

Ricardo Allan Kerr aka BUFFALO SOLDIER is from the Caribbean island of Tobago. At just nine years old, he already knew his passion and it's music, what else. He became BUFFALO SOLDIER, a soldier of music if you will, with the desire to make better of things.

BUFFALO SOLDIER's music career didn't start in a spectacular way; he was actually rejected many times as he set out to meet and network with music industry professionals around the world. But BUFFALO SOLDIER was determined to make it and now he has an album titled 'Born to Shine'.

Inspired by the likes of Shaggy, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Peter Gabriel, James Brown, Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, and Robbie Williams, BUFFALO SOLDIER has concocted a special-sounding music that's truly his own. And then some: For with every track produced by this artist, he wants to reveal truths. ‘I wanted to highlight the dishonesty of politicians and leaders of nations’, Buffalo Soldier says. And there are many of them, so expect BUFFALO SOLDIER to put it in his music for the rest of his life.

To hear more of BUFFALO SOLDIER's music, go to at www.jango.com and download his album 'Born to Shine' at iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves, a partner of Universal Music Group.

Melissa Otero Premieres Her First Official Music Video for Single ‘Angels and Demons’

As the line goes in Melissa Otero’s single, ‘These angels and demons won’t set me free…’ but she has unleashed to the masses via YouTube and Vevo, her ‘Angels and Demons’ music video. It’s her first, it’s official, and it showcases Melissa Otero’s sheer vocal talent.

The ‘Angels and Demons’ music video was shot in different parts of the San Francisco Bay Area last February, a cold, chilly month to be making videos outdoors. But Melissa Otero was a trooper. She managed to get up to the Twin Peaks and belted out her tune without missing a beat. Hypothermia be damned! (In truth, the crew was nice enough to huddle around her to keep her warm.)

Directed by Nick Testa, you can see Melissa Otero having a tiff with her boyfriend. Whether or not this relationship will end or not is unknown. What we do know is that Melissa Otero’s voice is powerful and passionate, and she makes a case for ‘Angels and Demons’ potent music. It was no wonder that her music deserves an equally interesting video. ‘I wanted a cinematic feel to my video and he chose all the locations accordingly,’ Melissa says of her director.

With help from Jasmine Goodman (hair and makeup), Mina Styling (styling), Laly Designs (wardrobe), Nikki T (accessories), and Stefan Moessle of Secret Sounds (producer), the ‘Angels and Demons’ music video would not have been completed and even a success. Melissa Otero is thankful to them for going with her on her musical journey and look at her now, officially an independent artist with a video on YouTube.

According to skeptics, hip-hop in the West Coast is dead.

According to hip-hop/rap artist HUNED P, of course NOT.

HUNED P is may be from Los Angeles but with his mom coming from Louisiana, his father from Arkansas, HUNED P was influenced by their Southern qualities and he mixed it up with the West Coast.

To date, HUNED P has released mix tapes, albums, and tracks -- all original -- that he's made his presence felt in a good way.

HUNED P's mix tape 'The Southern City Boy' was released in 2004 and it sparked collaborations from a myriad of different indie artists. Through these experiences, he learned the ins and outs of the hip-hop industry and the rap game, and in 2008, he again released another mix tape, 'Uncrowned King'.

HUNED P's tracks 'Like Al' and 'Fortune's 500' - produced by Bishop Moore and Engel Thedford - were featured in independent movies. The attention was just the motivation HUNED P to keep on this hip-hop path.

'Hard 2 Kill' is HUNED P's latest album and he wants to prove that there's no such thing as 'Hip-hop is dead in the West Coast'. 'As long as there is a pen and paper, hip-hop is hard to kill', he says. And we believe him.

Let Huned P fill you in on Los Angeles hip-hop – download his album ‘Hard 2 Kill’ at iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves, a partner of Universal Music Group.

Born Darius Oree in the tough city of Detroit, Michigan, DEEZY DA PRINCE was just a kid caught in the middle of gangs, drugs, and violence. But sprouting from this hardcore environment was a young boy who idolized MC Hammer and wanted to become him. At 10, Darius showed off her talents to his parents and then he started to write lyrics and rap. At 13, Darius became Young Deezy and he released his first ever song, 'Overdose', about going over the limit. Two months later, Young Deezy was arrested and sent to a juvenile facility; he stayed there many times, in and out he went. See, besides  being a wannabe rapper, Young Deezy was also in with the wrong crowd doing illegal activities.

At 19, Young Deezy finally became DEEZY DA PRINCE. ('I made the change because I wasn't a boy anymore') and released two EPs 'Boss Up' and 'So Neat' under Roadhouse Records -- this was in 2004. The next year DEEZY DA PRINCE got a break, performing at Club I-Rock, the same venue where Kid Rock got his start. He was set to break out as a rap star, but he was arrested yet again and this time, he was going to a real jail as an adult. While there, he wanted out of music but a Muslim friend talked sense into him.

With Roadhouse Records still backing him up, DEEZY DA PRINCE has written 30 songs and has his latest single 'Getting Money' ready for purchase at 20 online stores. He is working in another EP album and has made peace with what he wants to do for the rest of his life -- make music.

Download Deezy Da Prince’s single ‘Getting Money’ at iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves, a partner of Universal Music Group.
