Throwback Thursday!

It is once again "Throwback Thursday" and I am in the mood to go back in time to artist that was a great example of blending genres of both R&B and Hip Hop in the 1990's. He had every singing his song and getting in the mood to party with one simple phrase "This Is How We Do It". have you figured it out yet? It is Montell Jordan with his party anthem This Is How We Do It. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do? Remember you can follow me on Twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on Facebook!

W3 The Future

Hello and happy Wednesday! I know it has been a while since I have made a post but I promise I will get back to being more consistent with my post. With that being said lets get down to the business of pick our next Artist Of The Week! This weeks Artist Of The Week comes from a group called W3 The Future (WTF). They are the first group to be signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money record label. This group is made up of three young men named 3siXT, DG, and Edge One. This is a group that I feel this group will get a lot of attention for their ability to combined genres of pop, hip hop and R&B. Their sound seems to be uptempo and fun. I think that this will help them to gain a fan base and a following. I look forward to hearing more from them and watching their sound grow and mature. So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Curtis Fields

Hello to all of my loyal Stars On The Rise followers! I hope you are having an amazing weekend and are ready to start another productive workweek. Once again I am faced with the task of picking another Artist Of The Week! I truly love each and everyone of the artist that I place on my blog. Each one brings something different and special to the table, but this week’s addition brings something very special and unique to the table. His name is Curtis Fields and he is a true example of how with the right mind set and a true love for the constant changing world of technology you can find your place in music history.

Curtis Fields was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and from a very early age realized he had a love and passion for music. He grew up sing in the church sing gospel music with his fathers traveling ministry. When Curtis started his professional music career when he was able to perform with artist that include John Legend and Eric Roberson. His First single Black Cherry reach number 2 on the Jazz/Funk category on CD Baby's Top 5. Curtis Fields caught his break in the music industry in 2012 when he appeared for the New Skool Rules auditions in Atlanta, Georgia. His audition caught the eye of Ray Daniels from Raydar Management who told Fields that he would have him signed within two months. This opportunity opened Curtis up to amazing chance; within five week of his audition he had offers from five different record major record labels. On June 30, 2013 Curtis was able to perform his song Opposites Attract at the 2013 BET Awards.  His performance included him strumming a guitar on an iPhone 5 and was called one of the 9 Most Memorable Moments of the awards by Yahoo! Music.

What I love about Curtis Fields is that he is an incredible singing, songwriter and musician. But the thing that completely had me stunned was his ability to take a piece of technology like the iPhone 5 and use it as a tool to create and play amazing music. I feel that this is what will help set him apart from so many other music artist and take him very far in the music industry. So take a listen and tell me what you think.
