Just want to take the time out to thank everyone for following my blog. I sincerely appreciate the love, support, and all of the comments, whether good or bad, everyone has an opinion and that's most definitely a good thing!!!

The magazine is coming along sooo well and I can't wait for it's release which is very soon. In the meantime, I've been busy interviewing and scouting for various artists to be featured. It's a great feeling to finally feel like I'm moving in the right direction. It's challenging to say the least, but I welcome challenges...life would be boring without them.

If anyone would like to reach out to me for interviews, album reviews, upcoming events, WHATEVER, feel free to hit me up at ampdminds@gmail.com.

I'm also in search of contributors. I'm doing everything solo right now and would love to get an extra pair of hands.

And of course, artists, songwriters, and producers who want to get their story/music out there, send me your info.

Muhsinah

Ok so I'm a little upset with myself for not hearing about this young lady much sooner, but better late than never. After listening to her music for about 5 minutes, I literally fell in love with Muhsinah's music. I became infactuated and absolutely had to find out more.

Stats:
-DC native
- 24 years old
- classically trained in piano
- has 6 releases over a span of 3 years (many of them digital only)

Her current release, Oscillations: Sine is available via iTunes and it's AMAZING!! By amazing I mean new, fresh, innovative, not Beyonce' and/or other industry natives (no offense ;-0) Check out her myspace.com/muhsinah page for songs from her upcoming album Oscillations: Triangle to be released in April.

Be sure to check Muhsinah performing live with Teedra Moses April 2 at Club Liv in Washington, DC.

Sumthin' Nu: Sophie Delila

Paris born Sophie Delila has been stirring up the music scene in the streets of London for quite sometime now. Trained in piano at the tender age of 5, Sophie travelled to the US to study music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, but later decided to move to NYC. The next day, Sophie landed a job at a recording studio, later allowing her to sing background for various underground soul artists. Soon after, she decided to record her own material.

Delila now resides in London and continues to work on her solo career, including her recently released "Hooked" album, which is not currently available in the US.





Be sure to check out more of Sophie Delila's music at www.myspace.com/sophiedelilamusic. My personal favorite is the title track "Hooked".
