Swagger is the perfect way to describe the music style of A.Smith. This young R&B/Hip Hop artist from Inglewood, CA sat down with Mikey Jayy of The Great Unknowns Presents and All Indie Magazine to discuss the cusp of his early career.
While he compares with the smooth sounds of Ne-yo, Usher, and Chris Brown he has a unique soulful voice. Add some Pop R&B music with some deep bass behind this incredible talent and you have a recipe for a major pop star. "I want to entertain people and I want people to listen to good music," he says.

Alternative rock duo, Nobody Gets Killed, is making waves in the indie music scene with a fresh sound often described as Coldplay meets Radiohead.
"Combining intricate piano riffs and impassioned vocals of Mo with the incisive guitar licks and bold bass lines of Michael, they were able to find a beautifully distinctive sound."
If you like Ne Yo Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West, then you have to listen to the featured artist of the week with Devon Michael.
The best part about Devon Michael is his originality. You get more than one speed of music from this album. It travels from great driving music, to the dance floor, to the street, and to the bedroom. It is impossible to get bored with this album, because there's is no one constant. It makes the listener wonder what the next song will bring. If you enjoy R&B and Hip Hop, you get the best of both worlds and it's impossible to just listen to once, in fact, you get hooked.
