Simon McMurdo - Team Marco_

Wow.

AIOIA grabbed my attention when they first joined. I saw their photo as i signed onto my page, and was quite interested. C-Leen, who was primarily apparent in the picture made me believe that the band were a soul or gospel act- and i just had to tell my friend Karin, since she's a huge fan of that type of music!

But i was certainly surprised when i clicked play, and heard the most atmospheric, ambient music i had heard in quite some time! The beautiful build up of 'The Enoch Syndrom' was the first sound that drew me in. The gorgeous backdrop of synths were amazingly arranged, and the soulful vocals added a dramatic sense of uniqueness.

However, as the song continued and reached its epic crescendo, i was taken aback. The sound had complexed so delicately and now sounded absolutely bombastic- i knew that this was going to be a favorite of mine.

I fully support AIOIA for this reason, but also for the other amazing tracks they have on offer. We all have our favorites, and its obvious that mine is 'The Enoch Sydnrom' but i can truthfully say that every song on offer is individual, atmospheric and alluring to addictive effect.

Furthermore, i have received nothing but kindness from every message i received of Alex, and i am truly blessed to know him- and can't express enough how happy i am to have been so kindly treated by him!

AIOIA are certainly not for everyone- their complex song structures make it hard to crack the shell- but there's definitely something exciting and amazing inside- so what have you got to lose?!

What i love about Tiffany Gow is her ability to flirt with different styles, whilst still staying true to her hard rock undertones.

Musically, she is fabulous. With a great production and effortlessly gorgeous vocals, she excels where others falter.  Her lyrics are brutally honest, and her emotion: truly limitless.

Personally, she is a kind, generous person. No matter how high or low she is in the charts, she will always welcome new believers with a beautiful, warm message.

She's very passionate about this, and i think she is one of the few artists that actually live their music as opposed to doing it as a hobby.

I'm so lucky, glad and blessed to be on this journey with Tiff, i gave her all i could afford, and i know she won't let me down.

Marco joined Sellaband with a few ambitions- to get his music heard and develop a fanbase. By his own accord, he didn't expect it to happen this quickly! Since joining the website on March 15th, he has gained 36 dedicated believers who helped him raise almost 2.5K - within just one month of joining! Despite not joining when originally discovering the site, he is partly responsible for Lily Vasquez's speedy rise to 50K- as he was in fact one of the people who influenced her to take the chance- consequently Marco is not only a new talented artist, he is a true and succesful ambassador of everything that is Sellaband!

Now, after around 3 weeks of being active he has been chosen as one of the few acts to be concidered for repeated radio broadcast at Talentcast- a site that aims to boost the careers of Sellaband hopefuls! With a variety of artists previously winning the conciderably prestigious 'Song Of The Week', Talentcast can almost ensure a surge in popularity. So as his third landmark draws close- now is the time for Marco to be planning a career that differs from the usual nine to five- rock stardom awaits, for sure!

A question to ask oneself, is that with pure talent alone Marco has garnered 2K, but as his career takes leaps and bounds- with his introduction to gigging coming up, and a recognition from Talentcast, how soon will it be before Marco is soaring to 50K, akin to Ellie Williams and Kaitee Page. His steady climb in the charts is grabbing believers, his increase in the pages means people will be often checking him out even more, and most of all- his constant posting on the forums draws even more people to listen to his music.

His explosive and emotive personality is absolutely dedicated to Sellaband and its concept. He endlessly pours out his soul at the forums, to his believers and within his songs, and Marco's believers are much more than investors- they are treated as friends. Marco's sellaband strategy is definitly unique- he comes to the site and acts like himself, and doesn't care what anyone says- hes a true representation of himself and doesn't hide his true feelings simply to draw in believers. His constant updates mean you can be sure that you're $10 are put to good use, and he always keeps in contact- repeatedly informing you of what he's up to on a personal and a buisiness level.

He continues to push his music, and make himself heard- such as on the epic 'Quien Te Crees' which powerfully boasts an amazing production, teamed with thrashing guitar riffs, alongside Marco's raw and talented vocal talents. His voice certainly 'packs a punch', with his raspy tones he creates a faux-sense of calm, before leading into a blasting chorus which simply blows you away.

'Por Tu Culpa', the song picked up by Talentcast, begins with a few loose sultry effects, before the pre-chorus ties together every aspect of the music and emits some amazing vocal lines. Before the loose feel returns again, with a really strong vocal performance and also putting a lot of emphasis on the gorgeous guitar licks. Marco truly steals theshow once again, however, with his emotional vocals and even in the spoken word, he sounds delightfully honest.

The final song he provides at his page is 'En Tu Sombra' which has some wonderfully melodic vocals. This song in particular shows Marco's hard edge conflicting with his latin vibe- resulting in one of the strongest tracks on offer. Its also worth mentioning that despite being a solo artists, 'En Tu Sombra' proves that Marco creates amazing MUSIC as well as amazing VOCALS.

His music in general has a vibe that is fresh and original, but a recurring theme of hard rock that ties each song together, as well as the passionate vocals that are evident also, ofcourse.

So- that is Marco, and he is without a doubt one of the newest and most talented upcoming acts on the site. His time is coming, so anyone wishing for an early Limited Edition should surely hurry- especially with the final sentiments in Marco's about me: 'Bigger and better things will be coming very soon!!'.

Gorgeous sound capes, echoed vocals and magical effects compliment the amazing lyrics of Lady Haidee. A woman who has soared through the Sellaband story, finding her place within the first page.

Her music reflects her Sellaband personality- mysterious but relatable.

Her lyrics approach real life themes that many wouldn't dare question such as the brutally honest 'Fashion Slave'. With her alluring voice providing an outlet of her truth and honesty.

Her bravery doesn't stop there, as her music defies genres with its gothic, rock, indie, pop and industrial undertones- what draws many into Haidee is her unpredictable behaviour and sounds.

With a talent that is unquestionable, she deserves to speed to 50K, and with a huge fanbase she certainly seems to be doing so.

One listen is never enough with this kind of music- so check back and soon you'll be enthralled!

It's not every Sellaband artist that offers 200+ free gift parts! But Radio Orange have so much more than talent and great music- they have genuine kindness on side!

Their endless offers to spread the word to as many as possible can never be ignored. From free parts, to special offers and so much more- Radio Orange play a very different game to many on here.

As if that wasn't enough to believe in them, they also produce genre-defying music that flirts effortlessly within the realms of Rock, Pop, Indie and many more.

Their vocals are reminiscent of such classic bands as The Who and Pink Floyd, whilst still retaining their original Radio Orange essence.

Whats more, the band have a massive following, from their musical pasts that will surely make an investment MORE than worthwhile!

What more can you ask? Great personality- Check! Great Music- Check! Positive income- Check!

Radio Orange bring the classic rock that we all once loved into the future, and push this forward with Sellaband- nows your chance to join the revolution!

Plus, Orange is a damn cool color.

Kontrust were one of the first bands to grab my attention. I think it's awesome that they've held it for so long, but with their amazing tracks: 'Phono Sapiens' and 'Si Je...', i just couldn't resist.

The driving voice of Agata is captivating in itself, but when dueled with the agressive tones of Stefan they really excel.

The music is also amazingly composed, perfect for the vocals to work with, and Kontrust really gel in this aspect as a band.

Finally, the most important thing is that Kontrust are original, very very few bands are close to their interesting genre, surely these forerunners should hit 50K and inspire the new generation?!

Funky, Poppy, Fun Rock with pleasantly powerful female vocals.

With a strong production, and a bundle of talent its easy to see how Luna Assassins have made it this far. The songwriting skills are second to none, with choruses that stick firmly inside your head.

Vocalist Jo adds a new dimension of strength to the compositions. Her talented voice glides through each track perfectly, and powerfully grabs the attention of all who have the delight of checking the band out.

A quick listen to any of the songs on Luna Assassins profile will assure that they'll remain in your head.

The female fronted Mua'dib, the funked up Tiff Gow- however they're described or classified, there isn't much going on in Sellaband that is similar to these guys. Highly Recommended.

As MaWa himself said, the standard of the collaborations from this project has exceeded all expectations.

When you picture the idea of various mp3 samples floating across the net, and different vocals being home recorded, the outcome doesn't look too promising.

However, with the amazing skill many of the participants provide, a wonderfully presented and recorded track has come from the teams time and time again.

With some amazing collabs already in demo stages, and some nearing completion, i wanted to grab a copy of the CD that will undoubtedly be recorded as Sellabands popularity grows.

Something for everyone is an overused and cliche phrase- but there truly is.

I had Outrance on my wishlist for quite some time. But just one listen to 'Wide Awake' made me believe.

The music here is like nothing else on Sellaband. Think of Daniel Ward Murphy's acoustic leads, teamed with Nearfields upbeat tones- with a little dash of Angie Arsenault's emotive lyrics. And you're probably half way there.

The other half, ofcourse, is Outrance's individuality. Descriptions are essentially useless in this situation- as the absolute power and strength lies in the emotional outpours. Nothing i can ever type into this box will be able to put this feeling into words.

Checking out Outrance is definitely worth it, and believing will make it even better. With a strong following, which is increasing day by day- this could surely shoot it's way up the Sellaband charts anytime soon.

I know that if i ever described Raza as 'Female Fronted Rock', many would envision a bombastic backdrop, coated with choirs, orchestras and operatics galore. But stop right there. Raza have altered that stereotype- and it's surely for the better.

The music is focused on electronics, with a beautiful atmospheric vibe flowing through. With amazing vocals, linked with original compositions- the Raza sound presents a huge sense of grandeur and beauty. Furthermore, the relatable lyrics deal with real life issues, and are coated with honesty and passion. I'd recommend that fans of Nemesea, Nine Inch Nails and the sort check out Raza, with their delicious sound that won't leave you're brain for quite some time.

Raza have a huge dedication to Sellaband, and their believers. Be sure to grab a slice of the action, before it's too late.

Holding a steady place in the top 10 Sellaband artists, Wetwerks provide some of the heaviest, yet passionate metal on the site.

Harnessing one of the anthems of Sellaband, 'Further Than My Eyes' has one of the strongest hooks you're likely to hear this side of Iron Maiden.

Unlike Maiden, however, Wetwerks provide a more 'american' sound to their music. A distinctive voice is also the main necessity in making this band stand out from the other metal acts here at Sellaband.

With a recommendation from some of the most active believers here, and having made a huge fan in Sellaband creator, Johan V- Wetwerks have potential, so be sure that you don't miss out on their ever decreasing remaining parts.

Niki Thunders provides electricity to the realms of Sellaband. He truly exudes talent and power with his interesting and catchy compositions.

His vocals are flawless, with a hard edge that perfectly compliments the rocky music he makes. In addition, the music itself never fails to be fun and upbeat, with a heavy lean on the amazingly talented players of every instrument on offer, which in itself glides with perfection through each track here at Sellaband.

From the catchy and instant 'The Sickness Of Dreams', Niki Thunders and Co. prove that they can easily grab the attention of potential believers, but it's tracks such as 'To Die Like Morrison' that prove despite being catchy, they have an unquestionable depth and passion for the music they create.

Niki Thunders is flying up through the charts now, with good reason! He's the first of his kind on Sellaband, and endlessly promotes himself through forums and messages to believers, and soon 50K will be his for the taking.

I can't stress enough how beautiful the gorgeous tones of Jess King truly are.

Her simplicity is her strongest aspect, with a heavy focus on vocal and piano arrangements. 'Your Deep Dark Eyes' is a stunning representation of how Jess King's talent truly lies within the music she creates.

Passion and strength remain present in every composition she presents, and the gorgeous vocal lines compliment her tracks perfectly.

Angie, Julia & Ellie all honored this genre of emotional, piano-led beauty and shot to 50K, so grab parts in Jess King, before she joins them, with her piano, in the infamous graveyard!

U2 With Female Vocals, or perhaps Vanessa Carlton with more guitar? Summarizing the sound of The Jade Diary isn't entirely easy, it's surely easier to check out their Sellaband page and try to take in as much of their music as possible.

Their genre is essentially in rock and pop- though each track adds something original to the formula...

'Love Called Me Home' oozes pop sensibility, with a strong country vibe- especially present in the serene vocals. The track begins as some sort of rocky power ballad, reminiscent of artists such as Alanis Morisette and Janis Joplin. However the chorus is a far more soothing affair, putting a main focus on the delightful voice of Cheryl Lim.

Her vocals prove their worth again- in the second track 'What She Wants'. This time, a rockier sound gives The Jade Diary a more passionate feel- particularly the chorus which has a very strong hook, and interesting vocal lines.

The final track on offer at Sellaband is the interestingly titled 'Wanderer', which opens on pure piano but soon finds itself accompanied with a soft rock backing. The semi-acoustic, unplugged effect provides a new strength for the band- as their sound conjures up a more emotional side to the band.

Whats notable about The Jade Diary is their truth, honesty and raw emotion that channels through each song, and what i find is their greatest strength is that the tracks all provide an insight into the deepest emotions and feelings so many will experience in their life.

So don't take too long, it won't be long before the final chapter of The Jade Diary is written, make sure you're names inside...

Banshee Celtic Band bring out the scottish in me! Their inimitable music is unique, powerful and catchy with a huge reliance on past sounds but with a contemporary edge.

Their eclectic instrumentation is second to none and whats more they have a genuine delight and passion for music- which flows through the sound beautifully.

The vocals are powerful, and draw comparisons so a variety of irish artists. But also develop an individual element and personality.

The music is a mixture of a variety of genres- from Celtic to rock, from pop to folk. Their music is surely not for everyone, but its certainly one of the most powerful acts that Sellaband has to offer.

Banshee Celtic Band provide a sound that is universally recognizable, but so commonly ignored- and hopefully Sellaband will provide a platform on which the band can provoke a dedicated fanbase and a career of which they have an obvious passion for.

I'm glad that I'll receive a copy of their debut album post-50K and i'm sure that anyone who listens to 'Whiskey In The Jar' will certainly agree that this band have more than talent- they have a love of music.

Without wanting to sound vulgar- it took me quite some time to get into Lori Greco.

Alike, So What, i saw lots of people investing in her, including my boyfriend Mark Starbuck, and telling me how good her music was. But everytime i checked back i never found anything to inspire me into believing.

But when i came across the track 'I'll Be There', i found a strong love for the piano in Lori's music. I must admit, im not a very jazzy person, so some of the songs Lori presents aren't entirely to my tastes, but what i heard from 'I'll Be There' and many aspects of her other songs, meant i couldn't deny believing any longer.

I feel that Lori has a major strength in that she runs two simultaneous genre's side by side. Her emotive, piano lead tracks, and her jazzy, soulful sound all contain something for everyone- as cliche as it sounds.

Passion, beauty and originality are the reasons Lori is often riding high in the charts and persistently pulling in believers. A definite Sellaband success story, it's time to bring mature, heartfelt music to the attention of the masses.

Sunsoma are everywhere on Sellaband! They tour often, get their name out there- and truly back up the hear'say with a conquering masquerade of indie, mainstream and catchy rock.

The delightful vocals of Mel compliment the sound with excellent skill. Her voice provides a variety of original vocal lines, and a beautiful tone that manages to be heartfelt, and slightly vicious at the same time. It really grabs you're attention.

Another key element to the music of Sunsoma is it's mainstream sensibility- it draws in every listener and demands their attention. They manage to be unique, but providing a sense of familiarity to accompany it.

No band in my mind have everything Sunsoma have- they're quite individual with their indie-tinged rock, and it's sure that they'll create a few waves right after Sellaband!

A success story waiting to happen.

Gisel deserves every support anyone can give, because she has worked herself sick to get to the point she is at!

Messages, competitions, and so much more- Gisel has powered herself to the second page, and now its our time to give her a little rest before she hits the studio to record her 50K CD! So everyone, nows the time to rocket Gisel to page 1!

Musically, she has a sweet voice that serenely echoes throughout all of her beautifully-chosen tracks. Her style ranges from pop and rock to soul and other interesting genres!

Whats more, she truly appreciates every single believer and potential believer alike! Her beautiful messages are sent from person to person, spreading the word of Gisel De Marco to people as far as Australia and America.

Gisel is surely an inspiration to everyone here on Sellaband. And i certainly don't use that term often, but her remarkable dedication to this site is absolutely admirable!

This year will belong to Gisel, and she'll seize it with everything she has!

It seems that with the times, music has to alter and comply to the audiences desires- something fresh, something hip, and something original.

But whilst Radius stay true to their hard rock roots, providing distinct and catchy vocal lines, dueled with powerful rhythms and driving drumbeats they bring themselves into the 20th century with their unique electronic effects that add even more power to their sound.

Add to this, the amazing vocals that are passionate and effortless and it's easy to see why Radius have become one of Sellaband's most successful acts.

With a sound that is unique, but catchy- Radius really have all the strength they need to hit 50K and take it so much further.

Have a listen, give it some time, and surely you'll be Radiated too!

Blending together a mash of styles, influences and strategies- one of Sellaband's longest serving bands has to be Blister.

Joining the site near to its conception in 2006, they have promoted themselves over and over, and have finally reached the 9K mark, with 10K firmly in their sights.

Although many may see their slow rise as a negative- i definitely have to disagree. The chance for Blister to truly connect with their fans has been achieved by their steady increase, and the work that they have put in day after day for two years shows that Blister, as a band, believe in themselves, this concept and their believers whole heartedly. Whats more, it proves that they are hard workers who deserve the goal well and truly.

The music they produce is atmospheric rock, which relies heavily on the vocal talents of Marie. The vocalist has a charismatic presence that delivers emotional, yet powerful performances.

Furthermore, the band prove endlessly that they have amazing skill with their instrumentation. The intricate and rocking compositions are so catchy and accesible, but still retain a sense of mystery and atmosphere to keep you entertained listen after listen.

Blister are often overlooked on Sellaband, perhaps due to their refusal to spam themselves and/or compromise their music to anyone. But as i, and many other fans have realized- Blister are one of the kindest, thoughtful and generous bands on the website, and with a cracking sound to match, 50K will be here way before the next two years pass.

Alexx caught my attention originally, due to her original image, and professional sounds. However, due to her slight inactivity, i didn't believe.

So it was a huge surprise when i saw her dominating the charts once again. Increasing by over $1000 in a tiny amount of time! Thats right- Alexx was back on top form, top active form.

I checked her out once more, and i was amazed. I truly, could not hold back from pressing the red button! A strong production, an obvious desire for music, alongside a huge talent for original songwriting and powerful lyrics that hold back on nothing.

Alexx's music is a powerful brand of hard rock, with passionate and emotive lyrics- reminiscent of Lennon and the later Kelly Clarkson.

Her track 'Pull It [Bullet]' is a mega-hit in the waiting, with a gorgeous and effortless vocal performance, assigned with some of the catchiest hard rock you're likely to come across this side of Linkin Park.

'Good Enough' continues where 'Pull It' left off, and heightens the emotion a tad more. It draws in the more alternative-pop side of Alexx's music. Sellaband fans may also note a slight relation to Agata from Kontrust with this powerful tune.

And finally, the infamous 'Out Of Sight' which looks set to crack Alexx onto the American-rock scene. Already, the track is looking at being recorded by Kelly Clarkson, as well as MTV aiming to buy it for a new TV show! But essentially, this is another Alexx song, that emphasizes her brand of heart-wrenching honesty juxtaposed against pure brutality.

Alexx is original, powerful but most of all- talented. She is one of the few Sellaband artists that has, not only a potential for 50K, but a potential for worldwide fame.

Go Alexx, Goo!

Having heard Natalia when she first joined Sellaband, i was anxious to check her out. I didn't know what to expect, but i wasn't a very big fan.

However, her song Overdrunk Love randomally played, when i was checking out Sellaband tracks, and i listened again and again with my headphones, and i realised that it truly is an immense song!

Checking back, i see that Natalia has a lot of talent, and a certain driving force that every Sellaband artists requires to hit 50K!

A mix of pop, rock, indie, electronics, acoustic, trip-hop and so much more- Natalia is surely an all round artist that is my pick for the position of the Third Angel, when Angie hits 50K! What do you say, Sommersby? ;-)

A definite dark horse on Sellaband, Natalia Safran has speedily found herself in a strong position on page two within just a few months of her arrival.

She has a good speed that is slow enough to grab as many believers as possible, but quick enough to not keep them waiting- i'm sure that Natalia will soon get the big boost onto page 1, and from there, the sky is surely the limit.

Her music is unclassifiable. She presents indie rock, teamed with sultry tones, adding a dash of electronics and a segment of well thought out pop.

Check out the track i mentioned- 'Overdrunk Love' to see her fiery tones smoldering through each note and verse. With a catchy and accesible sound (whilst still retaining a mature and true edge) she can easily break right into the mainstream, as a successful and popular female vocalist.

I just urge everyone to grab a part in Natalia Safran. She may seem like a quiet artist, but be sure- she's loading in the believers, pumping up the parts and just waiting for the right moment to pounce into the top position, and right into 50K.

Kirt was one of the first artists to grab my attention back when i first heard 'Going 19'. I loved it instantly, and made sure i checked back on his career.

However, as many artists came and went, Kirt was a more quiet competitor, but i'm glad i got some money to FINALLY invest in his project.

I hope and trust he'll make an amazing cd!

The first time i spoke to Lucia, was when she had lost so many parts from withdrawers. She seemed quite down but undeterred, and it certainly shows from her place in the charts that she won't compromise her music for anyone!

She carried on regardless and continued to make beautiful music that enchanted many listeners. And im glad to say i was certainly one of them.

'Mr. Green' is a gorgeous track, and i surely hope she puts it on her 50K cd! Good luck Lucia, i definitely wont be withdrawing!

An absolute devout Sellabandian [Hmm, new word, I copyright that!], Laïxa deserves more credit than they're given.

The sole reason for the Pro-Female revolt Sellaband saw recently, Laïxa has an amazing voice in tow, and captivating tracks.

As a fan of the lyrical elements of songs, i found it hard to enjoy Laïxa's music to begin with, but due to a lot of listens and the pleasure of seeing their passion, i adore them!

And for the first time in my life, i'm captivated by a vocal that i don't understand, and i kinda like it this way. :-)

Musically, Wildcat is among the Bjorks and Kate Bushes of this world.

Non comforming, unpredictable and with an obvious desire to never limit herself and her musical desires and abilities.

It's an absolute pleasure to believe in such a captivating and powerful artist, i can't wait to see her reach 50K!

It's been slow so far, but with a little more push, i think Wildcat will be one of the more succesful Sellaband artists!

N'Kenge had an amazing start, which goes to show that her talent is easily obvious to the Sellaband community.

Although things have slowed down a little for N'Kenge, she is now back and fighting for more parts!

She shows how determined she is by endlessly promoting herself, wanting to record a CD for her believers as well as herself.

The most captivating thing about N'Kenge is her amazing skills vocally, she can alter from a soaring soprano, to a r'n'b diva within seconds, and has talent pouring out of her veins.

'The record industry's loss is Sellabands gain' seems to be the tagline of Ellie Williams.

Reminiscent of 50K starlet, Julia Marcell, Ellie flirts with piano and acoustic numbers that are topped by her serene vocals. Alike Miss Marcell, Ellie is speeeding through the charts also, and will surely be at 50K sooner than even she expected.

'Fin's Song' is a true representation of her gorgeous and catchy music. Think Tori Amos, with a little less angst, and a little more catchiness.

Angie is one of my favourite artists on Sellaband.

Her music is breath-taking, and quite why she isn't yet in the top 5 is a surprise to me!

She has persistence, and power to continue her sellaband journey, as she comes to the quickest journey of all, 20K+.

Her gorgeous track 'Merry Go Round' is a stunning ballad, played entirely around Angies piano skills, and her gorgeous tones. Whats more, her lyrical ability is second to none also.

The track 'Shattered Windows' [Not to be confused with her Youtube series of the same name] is another amazing symphony, fuelled this time by a gorgeous line of strings to accompany her easy-listening style.

'Stay' is another gorgeous track, with a perfect production. Not too clean, not too vague, just perfect! Her clear pronunciation shines as her beautiful words are sang with passion and serenity. Her gorgeous layered vocals sound perfect in this composition too.

Another reason to believe is the amazing song 'No Fairytale' which is in a more melancholic direction. But still shows a sympathetic side to Angie's driving vocals.

Finally, her track 'Wake-Up' shows a fun, and upbeat aspect to her music. The guitar adds so much more to Angie's music, and another original vibe for her to provide. Upbeat, and happy in a very summery way, just the season Angie loves, i believe, 'Wake-Up' has huge hit potential, as do all of Angie's songs!

Her vocals are proven to be truly accessible, as her lyrics are relatable. Her passion is undeniable, so please believe in Angie Aresenault!

I didn't find myself drawn to So What like so many others had. Sure, they were talented and sweet guys with a lot of passion. But wasn't everyone on Sellaband more or less the same?

As time went by, everyone was filling me in on So What. My friend, Walter M was always a big fan- and his endless support for them never faltered since i met him. Also, my friends Mark Starbuck and Karin Soutberg told me how great they were. Karin even saw them live and told me about their energy and how powerful they were!

So, one evening- feeling quite lifeless and with too much money in my pocket- i trailed through the first page of artists. I came across the track 'Keep On Running' by the band, and i was quite familiar with the opening line, since i'd played it quite often! But what was different that time, was that after a few plays- i really couldn't get So What out of my head.

I sang it pretty much all day, and the lyrics just came to me so easily. Surely, a sign of a great song? It made me feel happy and upbeat, despite being so lifeless and tired- and i knew that i had to get my hands on a So What 50K CD.

So i believed, and despite my past words about how i wasn't a So What fan, i told all my friends how great i found their music after all. They say try, try and try again- and it worked, this time at least! :-)

Daniels british tones dominate every one of his well written tracks, im very lucky to have won a gift part!

His amazing acoustic skills powerfully rule over the gorgeous lyrics, and vocals. But most of all the mixture of each makes his sound amazing!

My favourite track is definitly: 'She's A Knockout'. Punchy, Powerful, and Catchy!

Thanks for nominating me for a Gift Part Karin :D 

Mysti is captivating. She has a voice that can hold you're attention, and provoke you're emotions.

Her lyrics are intense yet clever, and can range from hilarity to sadness, something many artists never manage.

Furthermore, since day 1 she has gained a lot of support and never gave up on her Sellaband journey, she really will take the world by storm when she gets to the final K!

T-Ka's passionate voice tops off the amazing pianistic skills on offer.

Her tracks Flyin' and Midnight City really grasped me with their catchy melodies, beautiful vocals, but most of all the jazz-infused piano lines.

T-Ka's so near to 50K, it surely won't be much longer until she joins the 'Recording' segement, andone listen to her music explains why!

Passionate, Emotional but most of all: Talented.

Kaitee manages to make Violin and classical fused pop accessible with her unique tunes.

Her vocals are astoundingly gorgeous, complimenting the harmonies, and other instrumentation. Topped off by her gorgeous skills.

The lyrics are honest, and heartwarming, and the whole package together is something of a superstar.

Kaitee has a lot of talent and a lot of skill: and due to her amazing success so far: I think Sellaband is the perfect continuation of her journey to stardom.

I'm not too sure what Bulletproof Messenger are trying to achieve by their theory, but whatever!

I believed in them because it's not often i can find a male voice that i like as much as this, there is so much power and emotion conveyed with every single lyric.

Furthermore, it's so hard to fuse Piano and Metal so beautifully, but songs like 'Bring Me To Life' succeed in making them one of the most amazing acts on Sellaband.

Personally, i think Bulletproof Messenger have a great, successful future ahead of them, they are going to create a truly epic 50K CD, and i feel lucky to have secured a copy!

One Love = A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

So emotional, so beautiful.

Believe me im not a fan of this type of muic, but Francis is a one off, definitly.

Few artists have enough talent to garner my belief so early. But 'I Will Never Be The Same' have conquered me well and truly.

The excellent production is breath-taking, you can hear every instrument clearly- and the vocals stand out with their tremendous power.

My favorite song is "Starfields". A song which captures you're attention and displays IWNBTS"s talent whilst demonstrating catchy hooks and atmospheric Shiny Toy Gun-Styled soundscapes.

A surefire hit, if the right people get involved. Believe in this project- and the next electronic hero will be born.
