Jevon - "Paranoia" [Official Vevo Performance]

September 29, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap, Live Performance

Born of Brazilian, Filipino and Jamaican descent, Jevon has always strived to bring new sounds and influences to the table. After working behind the scenes with artists like Stefflon Don, Yxng Bane and RAY BLK plus helping a new generation of UK artists find their sound, Jevon is now staking his place amongst them as one of the frontrunners. Not concerned with following musical cycles Jevon draws from styles not typically associated with UK Rap and R&B. His first EP, due out Fall 2018, is an insight into the battles Jevon faces when dealing with scenarios that are beyond the norm for a kid growing up. It reveals a vulnerability and a stripping back of the ego that has helped shape his music and character to this day.

February 16, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Live Performance

Soul/Pop guitar virtuoso/vocalist, Jackie Venson, is off to an exciting 2018 and is quickly gaining national recognition. Releasing her new video, "Fight," from her latest EP, Transcends, she has also been nominated as "Artist of the Year" by the Austin Music Awards ahead of US tour throughout January and European dates in February.

 

Hot off a tour with Gary Clark Jr. and high praise from tastemakers, including Guitar Player, The Austin Chronicle, SheShreds, Austin Monthly, Relix, LadyGunn and Texas Monthly, and a guest spot on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jackie Venson is revered for her “her willingness to stand naked lyrically and vocally.” (Austin Chronicle) “Few can put together the total package of eclectic, soulful jams and a stridently powerful voice the way that Jackie Venson can." (Texas Monthly)

 

Transcends was produced by Michael Ramos( John Mellencamp, Los Lonely Boys, Paul Simon) and mixed by Boo Mitchell (John Mayer, Mark Ronson, Mississippi All Stars). SheShreds declares: “Jackie Venson is one of the most talented up and coming blues guitarists of her generation. With a gorgeous singing voice, a guitar style that is both dynamic and technically precise, and music that blends genres, she is one to watch out for.”

 

Daughter of Austin music staple, Andrew Venson, Jackie’s early drive for music led her to Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where she picked up a guitar for the first time. Inspired by blues, R&B and pop artists alike, Venson draws on diverse influences ranging from Buddy Guy to Sade to Alicia Keys. In April of 2014, she was handpicked from over 2,000 entries by Southern retail chain, Belk, for their Belk Fashion Lounge concert series. Throughout the series’ five amphitheater performances, she supported famed country and southern icons Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and James Taylor.

"...a force to be reckoned with in the UK scene..." - MTV (The Wrap Up)
“One of the new breed of excellent UK rap artists...” - Hypetrak
"...AKS has yet again delivered us a very intricate and seamless body of work.." - Pardon my Blog

 

Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vF2Mbb6_po

Fresh off the heels of his latest visual, Train Of Thought picking up traction online and having a stint of going viral via popular platform UNILAD, London based rapper, AKS, keeps up the ante taking to the stage at the prestigious Sofar Sounds, which has played host to budding talents in intimate shows across the world as well as UK juggernauts. The likes of Emeli Sande, Lianne La Havas, Gregory Porter, Rag’n’Bone Man, & Ed Sheeran (to name a few) have all graced these stages and now we see AKS join the ranks of brilliant artists the platform has taken a shining to. 

Accompanied by the amazing live band that’s seen him be championed across London’s live circuit, the three letter man delivers an emotionally charged performance of “The Dialogue (Talk to Me)” which appears on his Unsigned Music Award nominated “ Train of Thought EP ”, released last May.

Impassioned lyrics abound in this gripping performance as AKS painfully explores themes surrounding societal pressures, struggles with mental health, the feeling of being alone and the use of his music as a therapeutic outlet.

It’s clear that raw emotive delivery is fast becoming AKS’ trademark calling card and there’s heaps of it here in this soul stirring performance. A definite must watch.

Albin Wass - "Radio (Acoustic)" [Video]

October 12, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Live Performance, Acoustic

Albin Wass has been working with theatre in various contexts since the age of 12. This year he went out into the music world with the single "Radio". This Friday, on October the 6th, he releases an acoustic version of the song, filmed and recorded in a single one-take - and it's amazing in its nakedness.

The debut single has already been streamed over 50.000 times and has been acclaimed by both fans and press alike.

- The song reflects that certain point in a relationship when it feels like your partner just doesn’t understand you, says Albin. When all you want is that your partner would wake up and see things from your point of view, but instead you’re stuck in that typical delusion that everything eventually will be alright.
