After recording a mixtape and promoting it around the city, Tyga ran into his cousin, Gym Class Heroes member Travis McCoy, in the Flight Club L.A. sneaker shop. Their conversation went from shoes to rappers, and as Travis' group went from unknowns to MTV stars, he would always remember that talk and his cousin's unique style. Travis signed Tyga to his Bad Squad label and then invited him along when the punk-pop group Fall Out Boy came calling. Travis and Tyga would appear on the remix to Fall Out Boy's "Arms Race," which also featured Kanye West, Paul Wall, Skinhead Rob, Lupe Fiasco, and Lil Wayne. When the remix became a hit, Tyga found himself performing the track on MTV's Video Music Awards in 2007. He soon entered the studio to do some guest shots for his new friend Lil Wayne before shifting the focus to his solo career. His first single became the hooky "Coconut Juice," a S*A*M & Sluggo production that borrowed a bit of Harry Nilsson's hit "Coconut." As the club track was climbing the charts in the spring of 2008, Tyga was hard at work on his debut album, No Introduction, which was officially released that June. << MORE INFOS >> "Smoke The Weed" - Snoop Lion featuring Collie Buddz Snoop Lion, formerly known as Snoop Dogg, announced his embracement of the Rastafarian way of life following a visit to Jamaica in 2012. The refrain from Michael Palmer's (a.k.a Palma Dog) 1984 reggae hit, "Dont Smoke The Seed," along with a digitized replication of that songs rhythmic hook, is reworked into an irresistible 21st century anthem. Collie Buddz whose name is a homage to herb, conquers the rhythm with his smoke fueled, chronic-championing rhymes. <<"Smoke the Weed" on YouTube>> FOREIGNER  live in Santiago Foreigner performs their classic "I Want To Know Love Is" to a lively audience at the Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile on April 4 2013. << watch on YouTube >> MANSUR SCOTT "Remember Billie Holiday" A stunning collaboration of All about Jazz-star Mansur Scott and the Blue Brass section of famous trombonist Paul Zauner will form a miracle of sounds in an evening to be remembered.

SANANDA MAITREYA 2010 - Grammy Winning artist Sananda Maitreya is now touring to introduce his new Post Millennium Rock projects: "THE SPHINX" , "NIGOR MORTIS" and "ANGELS & VAMPIRES". Sananda plays the four basic instruments of Rock: drums, bass, guitar and keyboards; as well as a few others instruments besides and he can never remember a time when music wasn't playing in his head! From the beginning of his professional career he has personally written arranged and produced all his music and has also collaborated with other top artists and producers. He was and remains a fan of all kinds of music and is committed to completing his own unique vision of what music can be as filtered through his own set of circumstances and the truth of his own nature. In his writings and blog www.sanandaMaitreya.com/writings he often cites the many diverse and wonderful artists that have helped to shape his passion for music and continue to inspire. He presents his music as POST MILLENNIUM ROCK, a music made by the heart of the artist for the spirit of the people, its nature is passion, courage and curiosity. He says that he had his light switched on at the age of 2 by the music of the Beatles and has been a fool for music ever since. "I have suffered music and she has suffered me and there is no doubt that she has seen my willingness to bear her love even in the darkest hours and because of that we have earned one another's trust and our bond is close and deep. I would die for the music and in fact already have". Sananda began his career as Terence Trent DArby and he became Sananda Maitreya after a series of dreams back in 1995 at the age of 33 and now exclusively performs with his new identity. He currently lives in Milano, Italy with his family and has never stopped creating superb music.
