Throwback Thursday!

Happy Halloween Everyone! To celebrate this very special holiday the 'Throwback" video pick for this week fits that theme. Last year I of course picked "The King of Pop's" "Thriller".

I hope you enjoy and remember to have a fun and safe Halloween! Remember you can follow me on Twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on Facebook just for the logo!

SJ3

Hello everyone I hope everyone has had a great week so far and have some fantastic plans for Halloween. But before we get to all of that trick or treating let get down to business of pick another "Artist Of The Week" This week I have pick a up and coming boy band that goes by the name SJ3. The little that I was able to find out about them was that they are 3 best friends who bring a different element to the group. Tone, DezZ, and K.T who are all from New Jersey bring R&B, Pop and Hip Hop together to come up with their sound. To me their is something special about them I can't quite put my figure on what it is. I think they have a slight maturity in their sound but are still able to relate to their audience. They don't seem to be just another boy group or band to come off the assembly line. So take a listen and tell me what you think. Remember you can follow me on twitter at @StarsOnTheRise or like my page on Facebook just look for the logo!

Senit

Guess what time it is? That's right! It is time for another "Artist Of The Week"! This week's artist in my opinion has a very interesting musical sound but I think you just might like it. This week's artist goes by the name Senit. Born Senhit Zadik Zadik on October 1, 1979 in Bologna, Italy to Eritrean parents. Senit comes from a musical theater background. She has performed in  Fame, The Lion King and Hair in Switzerland and Germany. She is currently represented San Marino. What I got my attention abut such a unique artist was her song called "One Stop Shop". Her sound in my opinion is a combination of dance and techno but I think she puts a interesting spin out that sound. Senit seem to be artist who has vocal talent but is will to experiment with her sound and take chances with her music and her sound. So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Bridget Kelly

Hello to all of my wonderful Stars On The Rise fans. It is time to pick another wonderful “Artist Of The Week” This weeks artist is a young female who has a soulful blues quality to her vocal tone. This very soulful songbird goes by the name Bridget Kelly. Bridget Kelly was born April 8, 1986 in New York City!  It appears that music was apart of Bridget’s life plans because she was a graduate from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in Manhattan.  In 2009 she was signed to Roc Nation.  This was just the being of Bridget music career. Bridget has regularly filled in for Alicia Keys when performing the song Empire State of Mind with Jay-Z. Kelly also performed with Jay Z during a performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2009. She performed at Coachella Arts & Festival with Jay-Z during Empire State of Mind, as well as Bonnaroo Music Festival in summer 2010. Kelly also performed Empire State of Mind with Jay-Z on Saturday Night Live on May 8, 2010. Bridget made her first magazine cover appearance in the September 2010 issue of Honey Magazine. In the interview to go along with the cover shoot, she describes her music as a fusion of R&B, soul and rock with influences coming from Alicia Keys, Alanis Morissette and Pink. In late July, Roc Nation stated on the official site that Kelly is closing her album up and the first single will be the Frank Ocean-penned "Thinking About Forever". An acoustic video of her debut single "Thinking About Forever." was released in August 2011. What got my attention about Bridget Kelly was her song called “Street Dreamin” featuring Kendrick Lamar.  What I love about her is her soulful upbeat style. I think she has the talent and ability to sing just about anything. I also hear the same kind of blues quality that is similar to Amy Winehouse. So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Anna Kendrick

It is that wonderful time in the week when we pick another "Artist Of The Week"! I feel that this weeks pick is kind of different and kind of unique. It is a female we no best for acting ability. It is none other than Anna Kendrick. Anna Kendrick started her career at the age of 10, when she caught a bus from Portland, Maine, to New York City so that she could attend auditions. Kendrick's first acting role was as Dinah in the Broadway musical High Society in August 1998 when she was 12 years old, a performance for which she won the Theatre World Award and was nominated for a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award making her the third-youngest Tony Award nominee. She rose to international fame after her performance as Natalie Keener in Up in the Air (2009), for which she received Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress. Her other notable roles include Dinah Lord in the Broadway musical High Society (1998), for which she was nominated for a Tony Award; Fritzi Wagner in Camp (2003), Jessica Stanley in The Twilight Saga (2008–11), Stacey Pilgrim in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Beca Mitchell in Pitch Perfect (2012), Jill in Drinking Buddies (2013), and as Cinderella in Into the Woods (2014). What got my attention about this very talent was of course her singing chops in the movie "Pitch Perfect" but what really made me take notice wall the cute video for the song called "Cup". I think she really show that she is more than a one trick pony. I think music style is kind of playful. I think that is something is missing for the music industry. So take a listen and tell me what you think. Remember you can follow me on Twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on Facebook just look for the logo!
