Acoustic Conversation with Joe
Last night I went to Acoustic Conversation, a live perfomance series presented by online R&B lifestyle magazine, Singersoom.com, staring R&B artist, Joe!
This intimate, live concert was staged in BoConcept in NYC. Strange backdrop, I’ll say–but it worked! Drinks were sponsored by Martini and Rossi.
Joe started off singing some of his hit singles. The entire crowd was singing along!
Then, my favor part was the acoustic set.
Lastly there was a brief Q&A session with the audience.
There was also a live painter, James Shields. Here is the finished product. For more information on his work visit:creativeshields.com
Seriously, wow…this is the definition of #1 fan!!!
Overall, great event. Singersroom did a great job of bringing us Joe–live, up-close and personal! For more information on Singersroom, visit their website: singersroom.com.
kisses, Olisa

Love that underground Toronto hip-hop music? Well, say ‘hello’ to The Get By. Made up of two emcees (Justis and Mantis) and radio and club DJ Pangea Delphi, they know how to drop a beat.
Definitely not new to the Canadian hip-hop industry, The Get By has shared stages with Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek (Reflection Eternal), Asher Roth, People Under The Stairs, Rapper Big Pooh (of little brother fame), Kardinal Official, Classified, Shad K, DJ Red Alert, Scratch from the Legendary Roots and lots more.
This Toronto-based group will be releasing new music every Monday until their album release in early September. Check out their myspace and get familiar.
Check out this off-track song, “Cruise Control.” Download it here! What do you think of it?

Drake Talks Stevie Wonder and Headlines at OVO Fest
On July 31st, the second annual OVO Fest took place at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto. I wanted to go but the tickets sold out ASAP. Maybe next year. Maybe I’ll meet Drake and we’ll fall madly in love and we will work together and I’ll do all his public relations – hey a girl can dream right! The OVO Fest was created and hosted by Toronto’s very own, Drake and brought big names to the line up. Toronto’s very own The Weeknd (love their music. LOVE), New York’s- J. Cole, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and everyone’s favourite legendary artist Stevie Wonder.
So how did Drake get the legend Stevie Wonder to perform for this festival?
Drake also spoke to T-Rexx of Rap City about his new single “Headlines“.
Do you think Stevie Wonder fit perfectly into the OVO Fest or was it just odd that he was there?
Plus, if you got to go to the Fest tell me about your experience in the comments or tweet me @itstanyag !`OVO XO`

FRESH new music: The Get By
The Get By are 2 emcees and 1 DJ based in Toronto. Their goal is bring hip-hop to the point where people aren’t mainstream or underground. To create timeless music that is honest, soulful and represents who they are and who they want to be. To give people who demand more out of hip hop something to connect with. As the group works on their debut group effort, 2010 has already been shaping into a good year. With videos, touring and an album all on the horizon everyone is soon to discover what The Get By is all about. Fresh as a new shirt and cooler then the other side of the pillow.
The Get By is all of us.
ENJOY their music.
