Bio
Nikena is a Caribbean-born artist whose music radiates love, authenticity, and cultural pride. Love serves as the heartbeat of her artistry, inspiring every lyric, melody, and performance. Her singles “Hold Me” and “Surprise” each explore love from distinct perspectives, one through vibrant Caribbean rhythms and the other through soulful R&B tones, yet both remain unmistakably her.Nikena’s creative process is as authentic as her sound. She records herself twice, first in her home studio where ideas flow freely, and then in a professional studio for the final cut. Writing often takes place at home or in peaceful outdoor spaces, allowing her to stay comfortable and inspired throughout the process.“When I’m writing at home, I can just be myself and play around with the song however I want. Whenever something comes to me, morning or night, I can immediately bring it to life,” she says.Songwriting is Nikena’s favorite part of creating music. She recently experienced a full circle moment that reminded her how far she’s come as an artist.“I was printing my lyrics the other day, and it hit me. I used to do that for other artists growing up. Now I’m doing it for my own music,” she reflects.Her single “Hold Me” holds special meaning in her catalog, blending dancehall and pop in a way that celebrates her Caribbean roots. The song’s vibrant percussion and gentle melody reflect both her heritage and her personal evolution.“As someone of Caribbean descent, it’s important for me to fully express who I am without holding back. My culture shapes my identity as an artist. Authenticity matters to me, every song I write comes from personal experience,” she explains.The accompanying music video for “Hold Me” captures the essence of Caribbean energy, from club scenes and colorful outfits to wine-based choreography, all visualized through Nikena’s creative vision. Similarly, her R&B-infused single “Surprise” takes a more intimate approach, showcasing her emotional depth and versatility as both a writer and performer.Creating her debut album This Is Me, set for release in October, has been a deeply rewarding journey. The process taught Nikena patience and trust in her creativity, understanding that inspiration arrives in its own time.“It had been about five years since my first single, and I realized there’s no better time than now to pour my heart into a full-length project,” she shares.Originally planning to release an EP, Nikena chose instead to craft a complete body of work that reflects her growth, resilience, and joy as an artist.Her love for performing is another driving force. From open mics and outdoor festivals to intimate showcases and listening parties, each stage experience fuels her passion for connection.“I love seeing people have a good time. It’s fulfilling to share that energy with them,” she says.For Nikena, authenticity is everything. She continues to evolve as an artist who leads with love and self-belief.

BioGospel singer-songwriter Lettie Law is releasing her powerful new single, Forward Ever
Backward Never Jesus, a song born out of personal trial, unwavering faith, and a
mission to spread hope across the world. Through heartfelt lyrics and uplifting melodies,
the track delivers a message of perseverance and trust in God during life’s most difficult
challenges.For Lettie, gospel music has always been part of her foundation. She recalls her earliest
memories with her father, who immersed the family in music that shaped her path. “I
remember what strikes me most is myself sitting between my father and my mom in the
car. It was a Volkswagen, you know, the round kind. And we were listening to gospel
music,” she shared. “Sometimes we did sing-alongs in the house, like karaoke, though
we didn’t know that’s what it was called then. My father also dropped us off for choir
practice. He even bought DVDs to play gospel performances on TV so we could watch
and sing along. That’s really how I grew up in the gospel.”
Her upbringing instilled in her not just a love of gospel music, but a conviction that faith
and song could carry people through trials. That conviction ultimately led to the creation
of her latest single. “A lot of things were going on,” she explained. “I was struggling to
find a place to record music, and also facing judgment from people who thought
believing in God was outdated. At my job in behavioral health, I see doctors, teachers,
lawyers—even children—struggling to cope with life. I realized the world truly needs a
song like this, a message of encouragement. I told myself, no matter how I’m treated for
not following the crowd, I will not look back. I’m following the Lord.”
That message of steadfastness resonates throughout Forward Ever Backward Never
Jesus. The song emerged from her observation of the world’s struggles, including
children facing mental health battles and families living through war and hunger. “When
I speak to people, I remind them that while everyone goes through challenges, the
difference is who we rely on to take us through,” she said. “Knowing God is the big
difference.”Lettie’s music has already touched countless lives. She recalls testimonies from
listeners of her earlier song Yahweh. “One woman told me she suffered from insomnia
for eight years. But after buying and playing the song at night, she slept peacefully, like
a baby,” Lettie said. Another listener shared that the song protected her on the road.
“Since she started playing Yahweh every time she drove, she hadn’t had a single
accident. One day, she forgot to play it and immediately got into a hit-and-run, but
miraculously, her car was untouched.”For Lettie, the journey has not been without personal tragedy. In 2018, she faced adevastating attack in her home. “My 23-year-old son was killed while sleeping. I wasalso attacked, went into a coma, and nearly died,” she revealed. “When I woke up in the
hospital, I realized I had to choose: either die or do what God had been asking me to
do—sing publicly. Doctors had said I wouldn’t survive or that I would be a vegetable.
But by His grace, I walked into my follow-up appointment. Even the surgeons couldn’t
believe it. The Lord was kind to me.”
Despite her trials, Lettie continues to find strength and healing in...

Bio St. Louis, MO
Remember the name Morgan Taylor because you will see it again. The rising R&B artist is making waves with her latest single, “Outside That’s Periodt,” a fearless declaration of independence, empowerment, and self-love. Born from a personal experience during her junior year of college, the track celebrates stepping out of toxic relationships and into confidence.“I was talking to this guy that I really did not like,” Taylor recalls. “I didn’t know if I was feeling him. And I was just writing how I felt. As soon as I got to the studio, I was like, ‘This is it.’” The song captures that universal moment when it’s time to walk away from what no longer serves you. “The whole point of ‘Outside That’s Periodt’ is you’re in your cuffing season during the fall, and once summer hits, you’re outside,” she explains.Though its message carries attitude, Taylor insists the track isn’t about toxicity. It’s an anthem of joy, freedom, and self-celebration. “It’s mostly about the ability to be outside by yourself and just love yourself, not somebody who doesn’t share the same love for you,” she says. “It’s about being with your friends, being with your mama, drinking some wine, just enjoying life and loving yourself.”That blend of confidence and vulnerability defines Taylor’s songwriting process. “Anytime I write a song, it’s like my journal, a reflection of what’s happening in my life or what my friends are going through,” she explains. “It’s really just me expressing how I feel about a certain topic.”“Outside That’s Periodt” also channels her bold alter ego, Big Mo. “I feel like everyone has that alter ego, and Big Mo is one of them,” she says. “Big Mo is spicy. She’s going to stand on business. She’s the extrovert to my introvert, the fire to my calm.” That duality between the sweet, grounded woman she was raised to be and the outspoken artist she’s becoming lies at the core of her artistry.The single connects to her debut EP Love Bombed (Love, Loss and Lessons) released in January 2025, which has already surpassed 1.5 million streams on Spotify. “‘Outside That’s Periodt’ is about standing on business,” Taylor says. “By the end of a relationship, you realize you are the prize. That’s how I want women to feel after listening to my music, uplifted and unstoppable.”Her message resonates deeply with young women navigating the balance between expectation and self-worth. “I just want young girls to know it’s okay to walk away from something that isn’t healthy,” she says. “You’re not alone. So many of us go through the same things. Love yourself first before you can love anybody else.”Taylor’s smooth yet powerful vocals reflect her gospel roots. She sang her first church solo at nine and soon released her debut...

Rising from San Diego’s ocean cliffs with a genre-bending sound, 3rd Borough is preparing to release their new single Blood Like Yours on September 25, 2025, ahead of their full-length album The Human Quest. Backed by a Halloween-themed documentary and vampire-inspired visuals, the track positions the band at the crossroads of indie pop rock, hip-hop grit, and cinematic storytelling.First conceived in 2015, Blood Like Yours began as a late-night idea between band founders Justin Werner and Apaulo8 (Paul Kipling). “This song was actually written back in 2015. Paul was living down in Imperial Beach, and I was in Claremont. We decided to create a Halloween-themed trilogy. The first song we came up with was ‘Blood Like Yours,’” says Werner. The process was fast and instinctive: “The song pretty much wrote itself in about 45 minutes,” he recalls.Originally born from electronic beats and a minimalist setup, the track has since transformed into a full-band performance. “Over time, it evolved into this indie pop rock sound,” Werner explains. Each member of 3rd Borough adds their own layers: Mark Boyce brings blues and gospel textures, bassist Ibo Rodriguez contributes a broad perspective shaped by formal training in Puerto Rico, Apaulo8 infuses hip-hop and rap elements, guitarist Dono Fox (Donovan) delivers technical precision, and drummer Arkhota (Argel Cota) provides versatile rhythms. “It’s a melting pot of influences that make the sound unique,” Werner notes.For Apaulo8, the track’s impact lies in its balance. “Music for us is about yin and yang. We want positive messages, but we also embrace darkness. That balance lets us create something edgy yet lighthearted. For Blood Like Yours, we drew inspiration from The Lost Boys movie—something fun but haunting, appealing to kids and adults alike.”The single also comes to life visually with a vampire-themed music video and a Halloween documentary. “It covers the whole process: how we created the music video, interviews with band members, the making of the album, and behind-the-scenes footage,” Apaulo8 explains. For Werner, revisiting vampire mythology was a chance to refresh a timeless archetype. “Vampires have been portrayed as romantic, monstrous, murderous—it’s evolved. With Blood Like Yours, we leaned toward a romantic take. It’s basically a love song in a Halloween costume.”Though the single may stand out as a seasonal anthem, the band stresses that their forthcoming album, The Human Quest, goes much further. “The Human Quest is about the ups and downs of being human. Blood Like Yours stood out—it felt powerful, like a hit, so we pushed it as a single. The album itself spans many genres because some songs were written 10 to 15 years ago,” Apaulo8 shares. Werner adds, “We believe in divine timing. Unlike bands that write 50 songs and pick 12, we wrote around 20 and chose the best by intuition.”For Apaulo8, the most rewarding moment comes with “the final product, after all the revisions, when everyone is happy and we hear that polished version.” Werner’s favorite part is the connection with listeners: “For me, it’s when someone hears the finished song for the first time and appreciates it. That’s why we do this, because music can inspire others.”With The Human Quest on the horizon, 3rd Borough hopes listeners find both...

Bio
Elie Al Hajj, known to fans as ELY, is a romantic at heart, a passionate musician, and a deeply emotional artist whose life experiences shine through every note he creates. A believer in love, a champion of heartfelt storytelling, and a devoted filmmaker, Elie has spent decades channeling his journey into art. His latest release, My Falling Star, captures the essence of that journey with raw honesty and lyrical beauty.Born on July 8, 1982, in Beirut during Lebanon’s civil war, Elie was raised in a Christian Orthodox family where resilience and creativity flourished despite hardship. His father, Michael, a carpenter, instilled discipline and hard work, while his mother, Raymonda, encouraged his early love for singing even though she had set aside her own musical dreams. From an early age, Elie was captivated by the vibrant sound of 1980s hits, but it was the timeless melodies of The Beatles that truly ignited his passion. Inspired, he picked up an electric guitar and began composing songs that carried both joy and introspection.By 1996, Elie was refining his craft, and in 2000 he began performing publicly with his first band, Viceversa. These early years with classic rock cover bands laid the foundation for his later evolution into original, deeply personal compositions. His debut album, The Reflection of Changes (2012), showcased this growth while his parallel passion for cinema led him to direct and produce several feature-length films and shorts—works that, like his music, are rich in emotion and storytelling.After stepping away for a period to focus on film and personal milestones, Elie returned to music in 2025 with renewed energy. He began releasing songs in Arabic, culminating in My Falling Star, a song born from heartbreak yet filled with hope. Written after a profound breakup in 2024, the track draws inspiration from a night by the sea when Elie and his former partner witnessed a shooting star together. That fleeting, magical moment, later tinged with loss, became the foundation for a song that captures longing, reflection, and the fragility of human connection.For Elie, songwriting is cathartic. “I write from the heart,” he explains. “I’ve written more than 15 songs about my ex-girlfriend because every time we went through a breakup, a new song emerged. It’s not all heartbreak—some songs capture happiness too. But the ones born from heartbreak carry the most intensity because solitude allows my feelings to flow freely.”The music video for My Falling Star heightens the song’s emotional impact. Filmed at a historic seaside location in Lebanon during sunset, it reflects both vulnerability and strength. Elie recalls the exhilaration of performing on a massive stone wall with his custom-made guitar and a vintage 70s drum set, drawing inspiration from the timeless sound of bands like The Beatles and Keane.With decades of experience at the crossroads of music and cinema, Elie Al Hajj remains committed to creating art that resonates both emotionally and visually. His vision is clear: to leave a legacy as a kind, honest, and perfectionist artist whose work offers beauty in both joy and sorrow.My Falling Star is now available on YouTube.About Elie Al Hajj
