Artist Of The Year 2012!

Once again another year has come to the end and it is time to pick my "Artist Of The Year!" Their where so many great artist that I blogged about this it was really hard to pick one this time around. But I think you will be happy with my pick. So this years winner is Rita Ora. I think Rita Ora made a great impression on the music industry this past year with her son" How We Do (Party)" which was a huge party anthem. So all had time have her own MTV Unplugged special which really showcased her very strong vocal ability. She is also already starting to receive attention and awards for her music. This year she walk away from the 2012 MOBO Awards for "Best Newcomer". With the release of her second single "RIP" she is proven to be a musical force to be reckon with. I think you will see bigger things to come in 2013 for Ms. Ora. So congratulation Rita Ora!

The group began their entry into the American market in 2009 as an opening act for The Jonas Brother's World Tour, performing the English version of their hit single "Nobody". In late 2009 their song charted at number seventy-six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making the Wonder Girls the first South Korean group to enter the chart.

Monsta Alladon

This weeks artist is a hip hop artist who has help to defend and protect our country. He goes by the name Monsta Alladon. AllaDon is the son of a POW in the 1983 Iran, Iraq war. His father was an Iranian civil engineer during that time doing some reconstruction work in Baghdad. After being
                                                                                                                                                               captured, tortured, and murdered by Saddam Hussein personal Army, his mother had
no choice but to remarry to a successful Persian American business man. At the age of
two AllaDon and his mother moved to Atlanta Georgia where he spent most of his
upbringing living a blessed normal American life. He grew up to love the hip hop culture
but his passion was cut short due to him joining the USMC immediately after high
school and spending most of his late teen early twenties in combat. It was during the
time of him being in combat where he learned and sharpened his skill in hip hop
delivery and free styling with his fellow Marines due to long hours of night watch and
the realization that there was a huge possibility for no tomorrow during WAR so music was his ultimate escape.Once returning from combat in 2007, Monsta AllaDon was recognized not only in the
States but around the world for such a courageous attempt to get avenge for his father
that he had never met. He was a part of the destruction of Saddam Hussein’s statue in
down town Baghdad as well as the death of one of his sons, Uday Hussein. From 2007
to about 2010 after getting out of the Military Monsta AllaDon spent most of those years
traveling and trying his best to see the lighter more positive side of life and human
society as opposed to all the darkness he had experienced before. You could say that
attempt was huge success for he met some of the most recognized names in Music and
in 2011 started working on his calling in music.
Monsta AllaDon started working on creating his own sound by doing what he loved
most, rapping. Freestyling over every rap beat he could find he began to find direction
by expression. Growing up in Atlanta AllaDon was inspired by Young Jeezy and T.I. but
was convinced he was destined to create his own path. AllaDon was convinced that
House music was the future and forced his producer Az-Y to start making house beats
specifically for him. The fusion now know as Hip-Hop house or Electro-Hop allowed him
to merger the two cultures while staying true to his passions. His first single “Make It.(FaceBook).
What got my attention was his song "Make It Right" so take a listen and tell me what you think.
