Gizzelle live on Gosh!Radio on Jan. 28th

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 2012/1/27 – “My music is all about soul…in the heart or the feel of the music,” says Soul/Blues singer Gizzelle. “My music is about passion and love…and heartbreak.”

Gizzelle performs late 50s blues, rhythm and blues, and early 60s soul. She’s considered one of the greatest voices on the Soul/Blues scene. Gizzelle describes her style as a mix of retro and modern. Her band members are Ricky McCann on drums, Victor Mendez on piano, Alex Vargas on bass and vocals, and Takao Inoue on saxophone. The band, based in Los Angeles, has many fans in Germany.

Gosh!Radio host Gabrielle Pantera will be interviewing Gizzelle and taking callers’ questions on

Meet the Music.

Gizzelle’s Albums and Distribution

Gizzelle has has a new album Rhythm n Soul, released about a month ago. Her previous album was Devil or Angel, released five years ago. She has also released a CD EP (4 tracks) and two 45 rpm records. She’s working on her next album to be released in 2013.

Gizzelle’s label is Wild Records. “They found me about eight years ago. Reb, the label owner and my manager, was at a show where I was doing a guest spot. He told me he loved my voice, but not the songs I was singing. He told me he had a idea what I might like to become…a soul singer. He was right.”

Performances and History

Upcoming performances include Saturday, Feb. 4th, at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana. She will be performing with Luis and the Wildfires and seven more bands. Gizzelle will sing around midnight.

Gizzelle has played in England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Belguim and Holland. “I was lucky to have performed with the late great Ruth Brown, one of my idols. I was onstage with her in Las Vegas. While singing she said to me, ‘How can a little girl like you have that HUGE VOICE?’ Wow, made my day.”

Of today’s pop singers, Gizzelle says Adele is the only singer she really enjoys. Gizzelle has been singing since she was three years old. “I was the kid that would not shut up at parties.” Gizzelle was born in Whittier, California. On her next album, for the first time, she’s writing some of her own songs.

Exclusive live interview with Valet and Kurty Durty on Gosh!Radio Meet the Music on January 21^st, tune in

By Gabrielle Pantera

Hip-hop artist Valet on Gosh!Radio Jan. 21st

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 2012/1/19 – Hip-hop artist Valet with hip-hop artists Kurty Durty will be the guests January 21st on Gosh!Radio Meet the Music.

“I believe my songs have a message,” says hip-hop artist Valet. “I don’t make every song for the radio. It would be unreal to act as if I never went through any struggle. I try to keep the message positive, but life is about positive and negatives so some songs have some of life’s negatives which some of us would have to do to survive.”

While Valet’s style is hip-hop as a whole, he looks for inspiration to great artists and how they created their music catalog. “Music influences me,” says Valet. “I just don’t listen to Rap all day. I might listen to some BB King and Bobby Blue Bland. thers days I might feel like listening to the O’Jays or Michael Jackson. I just love music, as well as trying to pick other artist’s brain and figure out what influenced them to write the song.”

Gosh!Radio Meet the Music host Gabrielle Pantera will be interviewing live Valet and hip-hop artist Kurty Durty. Valet released his latest album Danger Tape in August. “I have more albums in my catalog such as Park That Azz, which was a big hit in Japan, Confessions of a Hustler Movie/CD, and Bet They Hit. Kurty Durty has released the albums Hiphopology and Freak Dancin, and the single She Make It Bounce.

Meet the Music host Gabrielle Pantera

“We’re not afraid to try or speak about different subjects,” says Valet. “This is how the song Somethin Bout Them Boots came to be. Thanks Que’ A.We were trying new ideas and subjects that no one has tried yet.” The song is pop/hip-hop has a hip-hop feel to it with more beat.

“I write my own songs, but we also have a team of writers,” says Valet. “We sit down and colab. When you have three and four minds working together it’s a lot more creation that goes on. Being a hip-hop artist we are trained from the jump to write our own lyrics and songs. But later down the line is when we realize that sometimes it takes input from other writers and artists to make a song complete.”

Valet says his favorite instrument is his computer running JReason 6, my MPC and little keyboards. “Reason is really 70% of my music because it has everything I need. Almost every song that I produce myself is done with Reason. Now all Pro Tools 10 has to do is add 64bit Re-Wire and I can Re-Wire them together again.”

Performances

Hip-hop artist Kurty Durty on Gosh!Radio Jan. 21st

“I’ve preformed with big acts like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube,” says Kurty Durty. “It was one of the greatest experiences in my life. WC spoke with us about our performance and told us a lot about the music industry. I respect those dudes for real. They gave a chance to rock with them and we weren’t even popular in our city or nothing, so basically you can say that was a big inspiration for us.”

“I’ve played all around the US. I’ve did many shows in California…mainly Hollywood…Nevada, Detroit, Texas, Indianapolis and of course Bakersfield,” says Valet. “Mostly on the West Coast. We have our sights on going overseas in 2012.” Valet has an upcoming spring tour.

“I would love to perform with Will.i.am or the Black Eyed Peas,” says Valet. “I’ve been to one of their shows and it’s like a wave of energy going back and forth from the fans to Will.i.am, from Black Eyed Peas to the fans.” Valet would also like to perform with P Diddy, Rihanna and David Williams.

Background

“I’ve been in the business for long as I can remember, a few years now,” says Valet. “Started off loadin’ speakers for a local DJ group Groove City. Been rockin the M.I.C since high school. Graduated from Musicians Institute in Hollywood.”

Valet was born in Bakersfield, California. “Bake Town is what I call it, but if you’re from there it’s the Patch. A lot of people think it’s a country town and what not, but it’s far from that. It’s a pretty decent town. A few acts came from the town, Brian Hooks, Korn, Merle Haggard, and Mathew Ryan. Also pro ball players Joey Porter, Chris Childs and Michael Stewart.”

Label and Distribution

Valet is signed to an independent label Lo-Down Entertainment/Punch Mode Productions. “It was destined the way I met the company CEO,” says Valet. “I was anxious for more knowledge in the music industry and I went to a music conference in Hollywood. I got lost and ended up
at UCLA a George Clinton concert and they let me through the gate! I had my mind so set and focused on attending the music conference that I turned around and left the concert. I finally found the right place and that’s where I met Cisco, CEO and founder of Lo-Down Entertainment.”

Valet’s Danger Tape album is distributed through CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon, and Napster. “We have all the digital outlets pumping my album,” says Valet. “Soon to be in Best Buy and Target.”

The Vignatis, Gypsy Music Meets Rockabilly

rower — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:18:26 +0000

Exclusive interview with The Vignatis. Listen to the band on Gosh!Radio, Meet the Music, on January 14^th. Tune in at www.ustream.tv/channel/goshradio. Call in during the live show at 559 546 1700 in California (local time 10am to 11am) and enter code 472737 to talk to the band.

By Gabrielle Pantera

The Vignatis, the sound of Gypsy rockabilly, on Gosh!Radio on Saturday

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 2012/1/12 – “Sometimes a melody/hook will come to us separately and we will build around it together,” says Bori Rani Tracy of The Vignatis. “Or, Fabrice will write a structure with a general melody and I will embellish it and add lyrics or we each write our own songs.” Boro Rye Fabrice says, “When I co-write with Tracy, I come up with a chord progression that hopefully with inspire her to come up with a great melody and then either she or I or both write the lyrics.”

Boro Rye Fabrice and Bori Rani Tracy are the Gypsy music-inspired pop singing duo The Vignatis. “We write with regard to topics from life’s struggles, childhood insecurities, love, travels and world peace,” says Fabrice. “Part of our message is for each person to become happy by becoming aware of the nature of their own lives.”

The Vignatis blends English and French vocals with Gypsy orchestration featuring acoustic guitar, clarinet, accordion and violin, swingin’ drivin’ rockin’ drum beats with modern/vintage instrumentation of electric guitar and upright slap bass as used in Rock-a-Billy. Their unique sound has the Southern twang of a honky tonk piano and pedal steel. It’s Rockabilly, Gypsy, Country and Jazz.

The Vignatis recorded their first CD, Birth of the Gypsybilly, with the rhythm section of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, featuring Bernie Dresel on drums and John “Spazz” Hatton on upright bass. They also recorded with violinist Charlie Bisharat. The Vignatis is producing a new CD now, Birth of the Gypsybilly Vol. 2.

Gypsy Jazz originated in France. It replaces drums with rhythm guitar to embrace the mobile nature of the Gypsy culture. It uses a special percussive technique of up-down strumming called “La Pompe” emphasized on beats 2 and 4. The Vignatis employ a technique they call La Pompe Renversée, emphasizing beats 1 and 3 in tandem with the bass as a musical signature. They utilize the chromatic and Gypsy scales often performed with violin and clarinet in traditional Gypsy music.

Fabrice plays guitar. “You can do everything on a guitar,” says Fabrice. “Harmony, rhythm and melody. For me, it’s a great instrument for writing.”

Tracy plays clarinet and piano. “I chose clarinet against my will in 7th grade,” says Tracy. “My mom didn’t want me to play my first choice of trumpet. She must’ve known what was best because I really connect with the clarinet and its nerdy ways.”

Fabrice and Tracy have each been singing since a very young age. Their first CD Birth of the Gypsybilly was released in February 2009 on their own label GB Music. It’s available at iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. Their next CD will be Birth of the Gypsybilly Vol. 2.

The Vignatis has performed in Southern California and Europe. As a contemporary hybrid band, there are many different styles with which they could do a “Crossroads.” “We’d love to tour with Brad Paisley, Brian Setzer, Chris Isaak, Eric Clapton, Trace Adkins, Vince Gill, B.B. King, Zac Brown Band, Royal Crown Revue, Paris Combo, Sanseverino, Pink, Lady Gaga, Jay Z, or U2, to name a few,” says Fabrice. “What they do is so creative and true.”

Fabrice was born in France in the Alps in a little town called Aix Les Bains, known for its healing spa. Tracy was born in California. “I am an Air Force Brat so we moved here and there,” says Tracy. “I spent half of my childhood in Georgia so that’s where I get the Southern influence. Georgia is the epitome of America and I love the hospitality of the people and of course, Country music.” Animals are a passion says Tracy, who supports both Last Chance for Animals run by Chris DeRose and St. Martin’s Animal Foundation run by Sky Valencia.

Teia Fregona of The Disraeli Gears

LONDON, ENGLAND (Gosh!TV) 2011/12/21 – “Our inspirations range from The Beatles to Jack White to Little Dragon, so quite an eclectic mix including classic rock, electro and jazz,” says The Disraeli Gears singer-songwriter Teia Fregona. “For about four years the only band I listened to was Red Hot Chili Peppers and their guitarist John Frusciante,” says Tom Kitson.

Guitarist Tom Kitson and singer Teia Fregona began jamming together after a chance encounter at Abbey Road, the studios made famous by The Beatles. After a few years, Fregona picked up a guitar and Tom started singing and The Disraeli Gears became complete with Alex Moorse on drums and Samuel Delves on bass.

Fregona and Kitson write songs together. They begin by just playing around with

Tom Kitson of The Disraeli Gears

ideas, phrases, and riffs until eventually they come upon something they both like, “Usually Teia focuses on phrases, and I’ll work on guitar,” says Kitson. “But, we don’t always stick to these roles. When we’re writing together as a band the process is a lot more organic and spontaneous.”

“I’m not sure that when we start writing a song that we have a clear idea or definition of what it will be about,” says Fregona. “Once it forms, the meaning becomes clearer. We’ve written songs about selfish society, about drug use, about the Catch-22 situation of insanity.

Fregona moved to London from South Africa to be a musician. “It was never a question of why,” says Fregona, “rather something that had been an indelible part of me since early childhood.”

Kitson started playing classical guitar quite early on. He says he wasn’t captivated by it at first. “Then my parents bought me an electric guitar for Christmas when I was about twelve, and that was it really.”

The Disraeli Gears are playing a few dates in London and around England and looks forward to a tour of the UK at Easter. They’ve opened for a post-rock band called Killington Fall, but are focusing on music recording to create an EP. “Come early February, we’ll have our material up on all the main channels, until then we do have a single up entitled Rotary which is a free download on our bandcamp,” says Fregona. “Come Summer we’ll be touring again, but on a larger scale and playing as many festivals as possible.”

Meet the Music: The Fuse on Dec. 19th – Live from London

rower — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:02:51 +0000

Exclusive interview with The Fuse lead singer Alex Lato on Gosh!Radio Meet the Music on December 19^th at www.goshradio.com. Call in during the live show at 559 546 1700 in California (local time 11:30am to 12:30 PST) or 0784 843 2901 in London (local time 19:30) and enter code 472737

From London, The Fuse's Alex Lato on Gosh!Radio on Dec. 19th with Gabrielle Pantera

LONDON, ENGLAND (Gosh!TV) 2011/12/18 – “To me our music means everything,” says The Fuse lead singer Alex Lato. “It’s what I’ve fought for over all these years, the right to carry on chasing the dream and make a living out of the pursuit. To those fans who come to all our shows, I guess it means…something uplifting.”

The Fuse is a New Wave pop rock band based in London. They have released a new record “Freedom Of The City” which is currently available to buy on CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon. The band members are lead vocals Alex Lato, drummer Jake Blair, bass Michael Varnava, keyboards Kiki and guitarist Simon Bowker. Gosh!Radio is hosting a live call in show with lead singer Alex Lato on Monday.

“When it comes to the band’s songwriting, an old friend of the band, Ian Tompson, summed it up nicely, ‘Don’t bore us, get to the chorus’,” says Lato. “An idea can be anything from a riff to a half-worked song. Then the band will explore it and get a feel for it. Once the structure is 70% complete, I’ll start trying to realise the words and melody. Then we’ll play the song in. Usually, during the playing in we will edit the song a bit further, which sometimes necessitates lyrical rethinking.”

The biggest show for The Fuse so far was supporting UB40 in Holland last year. That was massive with a big stage, big sound system, and a big crowd. In terms of inspiration, Lato says he looks to King Alfred The Great, Sir Francis Drake, Steve Jobs, anyone who triumphed against all the odds.

“Jake [drummer Jake Blair] and I formed the band in July 2006,” says Lato. “The first member was Michael Varnava on bass, who had been in my first band at school. Then Kiki, who I had been performing with in Italy when we were at University there. Simon was a replacement for our original guitarist, who quit in November 2006. We auditioned Simon in December 2006 and he joined the band in January 2007.”

The Fuse is about to leave for Munich, Germany. They’ll meet with their agent there, Mike Durrschmidt and will be recording three tracks with the producer Sebastian. “These tracks will form the core of our push to the German record labels in 2012,” says Lato.

The Fuse has two albums. Their first album, which we made in Los Angeles is out of print, but you can find it on CD Baby. Its a very limited edition called The Rest Is History. There are only 19 copies left on sale.

The latest Fuse album is called Freedom of The City. That’s available through all the major download stores. Its also on Spotify. It has a large mirror ball on the front cover. There are a very few CD copies remaining from the first press, but the band only sell them at shows.

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 10/5/2011 – “My grandmother has a blackmail cassette of me singing a song called Razzle Dazzle at the age of six stashed somewher,” says R&B singer-songwriter L Young..”I actually heard it once. For a six-year-old I had some chops. I also taught myself to play piano at the age of 11.”

Young has released three alums: Love Is A Verb, The 12^th Letter in 2007 and They Just Don’t Know in 2004. He writes his own music, lyrics and melody. His many credits include co-writing the Top 10 single and title track off Jessy J’s #1 Billboard debut album Hot Sauce, released Sept. 2011. He did songwriting and production on KeKe Wyatt’s 2010 release Who Knew and her 2011 release Unbelievable.

Young is credited for music on TV shows such as BET’s The Game, Girlfriends, ABC’s According To Jim, 20/20 and USA Network’s Burn Notice.

“I’ve been performing professionally since I was 11 years old,” says Young. “I’ve been told I was singing as early as three.Young’s first time on stage was the part of Gabriel in the musical Shenendoah at a regional dinner theater near my hometown called Derby Dinner Playhouse. It was also the first time I realized that people can actually make a living at this performing thing and that I was good enough to convince somebody to pay me to do it.”

“I would have to say Michael Jackson is my idol,” says Young. “As cliche’ as that may sound, he’s had a profound effect on my music and performing life.”

Young says he hopes to work with Stevie Wonder some day. “I kinda already had the pleasure of this dream performance twice while we were in the studio taking a break from songs we were recording. We always had impromptu jam sessions at the piano. I would love to take that to the stage for the world to see.”

“I pray every lyric, melody, and note I play is inspired by God,” says Young. “And I’m not talking about gospel music or even any particular religion or ideology. I’m talking about speaking to the human experience in a way everyone can universally accept and understand. I’m speaking of love, you could say. We all love, have loved or have the ability to love. Love and God are synonymous in my book.”

Young lives in Los Angeles. He’s graced the stage with such artists as Stevie Wonder, En Vogue, Patti LaBelle, Toni Braxton, Gladys Knight, Stanley Clarke, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Teena Marie and Jermaine Jackson.

L. Young’s website. http://lyoungmusic.com lists upcoming performances. Young performs every first Friday of the month at Stevie’s Creole Cafe’ in Encino, CA. Other locations to find out where Young is performing:
