Check out Michelle Chamuel, Tyler Duncan and Theo Katzman on the Today Show! 

Bastille - Pompeii (Acoustic) 

ZEDD’s Clarity Album is one of the best albums of the year! 2013 was an extraordinary year for this amazing Producer!  Even though his electronic album is absolutely amazing, the iTunes Session EP has got to be one of his best! This EP includes five of the best songs in the Clarity Deluxe Album, and Adele’s Set Fire To The Rain. This EP features great talent such as: Hayley Williams (from Paramore), Matthew Koma, Miriam Bryant, Foxes and Jessica Sanchez (last season winner of American Idol).

 ZEDD’s iTunes Session is quite different from his electronic version of Clarity. This EP is not just an acoustic version of the album, but it includes completely different arrangements of great songs like Clarity and Spectrum. ZEDD iTunes Session is definitely an album worth buying, and it's only $4.99!! 

Chris Villain & Lexy Baeza - Love Is An Open Door 

We just added these cuties to our new Segment "Best YouTube Covers"! Check out this amazing cover of Love Is An Open Door from the new Disney movie Frozen! 

Shy Girls changed the whole mood of the night beginning with When I Say I Love You from their new EP Timeshare, released on October 29th of this year. Shy Girls captivated the audience with their electronic R&B sounds, the subtle and warm voice of the talented singer/songwriter/producer Dan Vidmar, and a beautiful soprano saxophone had us all mesmerized.  Shy Girls was the closing act of the night, which was absolutely perfect! It’s the kind of music to end the night with a smile on your face and a warm fuzzy feel on the inside.

Shy Girls played some of the best song in the Timeshare EP such as: Without, Falling in Love, Second Heartbeat and Under Attack. Even though the show was amazing I have to admit I really missed my favorite song on the EP Still Not Falling. Plot twist! Close to the end of the act, Shy Girls surprised us with a stunning cover of Drake’s record Hold On,We're Going Home. The arrangement was beautiful, I could barely recognize the song at first!

Theo Katzman - Pop Song 

Ladi6 - Shine On 

In a small room of House of Blues San Diego, I witnessed one of the best performances I’ve seen in a while! Judith Hill walked on stage looking beautiful in a long black romper, immediately sat behind her keyboard, and began her show singing Jackson’s Five I’ll Be There. Following I’ll Be There was one of my favorite songs of all times, and a James Taylor classic You’ve Got A Friend.  Beautiful Life was the first Judith Hill original of the night, starting with a beautiful piano version of the song, but then she picked up the pace, and made us all Dance!

Judith mentioned her experience as a contestant on the hit reality show The Voice (Season 4), and introduced the next song which she performed on the show. Now… I have to say, this was my favorite moment of the night! The room was quiet as she sang the beginning of Feeling Good a capella, joined after by her band for the rest of this beautiful cover. Timing and emotion are extremely important to sing this song successfully, and Judith was impeccable. Being a Nina Simone fan, I have to say she made her proud. It was definitely one of the most memorable moments of the night!

Judith not only showed her vocal, and songwriting skills, but showed she is a unique and extremely dynamic artist! This night was a fusion of soul/pop/R&B/funk even a little bit of rap! WHAT?! Judith picked up the pace and got the crowd moving with some of her original songs like Abracadabra and My People. 

The night was full of amazing moments! Judith payed tribute to the legend Michael Jackson by singing a stunning version of The Way You Make Me Feel, which was both exciting and emotional since she had the amazing opportunity to work with Michael before his passing.

BUT! The night didn’t end there! Judith felt the Christmas spirit, changed it up, and returned to the keyboard to sing Stevie Wonder’s Some Day At Christmas followed by a STUNNING original song Till The End. 

Judith Hill Live is an experience that any music lover MUST have! Judith ended the night with an upbeat version of Beautiful Life and after we all thought the show was over, she came back to sing Desperation (from the film Twenty Feet From Stardom).

It was truly a magical night. Judith Hill is not only extremely talented, but has a beautiful personality. She was approachable, humble, and sweet. If you have the chance to experience Judith Hill Live, don’t miss it! It is truly a unique and amazing experience!

  Eric Zayne started the act with Digging You first song on his new EP Between Us, released in September 30th, showing his soulful side with a slightly dark tone in his voice while singing about a girl he is interested in. Following Digging You was Hello Goodbye, one of my favorites, picking up the pace emerging the audience in a funk fest. As Hello Goodbye was coming to an end Zayne mashed it up with Outcast’s Roses activating the crowd going into a sing along. 

Molly Malones came alive as he commanded the stage with his amazing stage presence and energy. Eric Zayne Live is a complete experience. The artist shows not only his vocal and songwriting abilities, but also moves the whole audience showing he is a skilled entertainer. Eric slowed down the night with some of his more soulful songs like True North and So Strange bringing dynamic to his act, and showing off another one of his talents by playing his beautiful Roland AX-Synth Keytar. Is there anything else this multi talented singer/songwriter/producer can’t do? 

As the performance was coming to an end, he asked the crowd what they wanted as the last song of the night. The crowd actively responded with Maneater, as he proceeded by teaching the audience the chorus lyrics and got everyone (including me) dancing to this amazing pop/rock song that could easily be playing in today’s radio. 

Describing Eric Zayne style is quite a challenge! Some of his inspirations include: Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and Maroon 5, and he definitely does justice to these incredible artists. His music is a combination of Pop, Rock, Funk, and Soul making his style very unique and refreshing to the music industry. If you have the opportunity to see one of his live performances, don’t let it pass you by! It’s extremely worth it, and so is his EP Between Us, which is available on iTunes.

It's Sunday! Tune in to my favorite radio show Tree Town Sound tonight at 6pm (EST). Featuring music from Abigail Stauffer , Michelle Chamuel and more! If you're tired of listening to the same music on the radio, and you're looking for great new music this is the place. You don't wanna miss it! 

If you are not in Michigan (like me) you can Stream Live or download the iHeartRadio app. 

Emeli Sandé - My Kind Of Love (RedOne and Alex P Remix) 

A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera - Say Something

Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino (A Great Big World) are two extremely talented artists. I gotta say, this was a match made in heaven! Ian has a beautiful and unique tone to his voice, and combined with the incredible songwriting skills of Chad Vaccarino makes a beautiful heartbreaking ballad. Even though Say Something tares your heart apart with its delicate but painful melody, it has a sense of hope. 

On this record we get to hear a softer side to Christina's voice. Even though Say Something is great as it is, I love how Christina's voice makes the song more dynamic. I'm not too stoked about her performance on the video, but it's still beautiful. I am very excited to see where this incredible duo will be in the near future. 

  The extremely talented artist Michelle Chamuel also known as The Reverb Junkie released her first single as a pop artist. Go Down Singing is a beautiful song about staying strong no matter the circumstances, co-written and produced by the amazing Theo Katzman and Tyler Duncan. Where do I even begin?! The lyrics, the vocals, the track, the amazing Jeremy Kittel on strings... I mean everything in this single is stunning! I could easily hear this song playing in today's radio. It's extremely catchy (you've been warned!), and motivational. This would be one of those songs that when feeling down my inner kid would grab a hairbrush and sing along like there's no tomorrow. 

With that being said... Go Down Singing is available on iTunes and Bandcamp. It's one of the best $.99 investments I have ever made. I suggest you do the same.

Ellie Goulding - Burn from Interscope Live Performances 

The hit single "Burn" is my favorite song from the "Halcyon Days" album, a repacked edition of her successful second album "Halycon"  I love how motivational and powerful this song is. Burn became Goulding's first single to top the UK's Official Singles Charts. Ellie Goulding has worked with some of my favorite producers such as: Calvin Harris, Zedd, Scrillex, Madeon and Nate Ruess. Ellie is one of those unique voices that could make music sound one dimensional, but I love that she keeps reinventing her music making it different and fun!

Katy Perry definitely knows how to make a come back. Even though this album was originally inspired by a heart brake, Katy managed to get it together and go for the GOLD (or maybe the rainbow?). Regardless, PRISM is a fun and positive album. Her hit single Roar, Walking on Air and Dark Horse are a few of my favorite songs from this album. 

The lyrics of this album are empowering, but the tracks are my favorite thing about PRISM. This record brings together amazing producers such as: Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Cirkut and Juicy J (Dark Horse). PRISM just makes you want to DANCE! 

I've been an advocate for turning negative situations into positive lessons and inspiration, which makes my love for this album not a surprise. I love music because it has a voice, and people listen. Music moves people and can be used to heal. I love the message Katy is sending with this album. Pain is a part of life, but when we fall we have the choice to get back up and keep moving! 

KEEP THAT PRISM SHINING KATY!

Robert Lux- Everybody Be Somebody 

Here's a song that's been on repeat for the past few days. Robert Lux remix brings Everybody Be Somebody by Ruffneck feat. Yavahn to LIFE! The remix sounds so different than the original song, and I love how it has some classic house elements. My favorite parts of the song are the beginning and the keys section near the end (3:36). 

Robert Lux's experimental music style has definitely caught my attention. This amazing DJ-Producer-Songwriter from Michigan has a unique sound that combines house, disco and funk for a new contemporary feel. His music doesn't sound like a few sounds and songs put together because it sounds good. Robert Lux music has so much personality, it just makes you want to dance, and groove to his refreshing tunes!
