Lady Gaga G.U.Y

One of the best if not the best music video ever. Lady Gaga's G.U.Y. is just a true masterpiece. With Artpop, Venus, G.U.Y. and Manicure it's like a video for three singles in one. The Video features The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills and Andy Cohen. If you haven't seen it yet you are missing out. Check out this amazing video Watch "Lady Gaga - G.U.Y. - An ARTPOP Film" on YouTube

Artist Spotlight: Liz Primo

Liz Primo has been in the music scene for a while but hasn't been long since we crossed paths. I first heard of Liz with the releasing of her single Blown Away which was pretty amazing. She recently released another single titled You Don't Even Know which is a slower ballad type song. This song solidified me as a Liz Primo fan/supporter since downloading the song off iTunes it's been on constant repeat. The songs so good that it made want more of Liz. I started looking up her stuff prior to Blown Away and it's all good. Not to mention her videos are amazing She recently released the Beautiful Whore video which is really good and a teaser for You Don't Even Know which looks very elegant and she looks beautiful. What I love about Liz is she can make any music and sound good. Most artist are one trick ponies yet Liz shows versatility from Beautiful Whore(Electro punk sound) to Blown Away(Dance) to You Don't Even Know(Ballad R&B vibe). I suggest you purchase anything by Liz you wont be disappointed. Link to her albums on iTunes below

Interview With Gregori Lukas

I've recently got the chance to interview singer/song writter/fashionista Gregori Lukas. He's been getting alot of attention after the release of his first single not only by fans but by fellow artists such as Lady Gaga, Natalia Kills, Karina and so on. I'm lucky to have gotten the chance to ask this very talented artist a few questions here's what he had to say.

Gregori Lukas is a contemporary R&B/Pop singer, who has also appeared with the New York City Ballet in numerous productions, and is best known for playing the title role in "George Balanchines The Nutcracker".  Gregori has recently released his debut single "Stay" with Israeli composer, Tomer Adaddi.  The song is available for immediate download on iTunes and most Internet/radio streaming sites.  Since it's release Gregori has garnered thousands of listeners who keep up to date on his every move via Instagram and Facebook.

What inspires you to write?

The most important thing for me to connect with when writing or coming up with a story is real life experiences. Even if I did not personally go through the situation, I always love to base my songs on reality and inspiration. I feel that is the only authentic way to connect to an audience.

What's next for Gregori?

Right now I am working on my debut EP, which will be about 5-6 brand new tracks aside from the debut single of mine which is available now on iTunes! I hope to get the EP out in the ladder half of 2014.

Who would be your dream collab?

I would adore working with any artist that shares a like-minded approach to music and meaning. John Legend is always my go to answer for this but I also love, Jessie J. Her powerful messages and voice are always so refreshing to hear.

How would you describe your music?

My music will always be timeless. I always listen to my work and read my lyrics a million times before recording it because if even the smallest part of it is off lyric wise, I go back and decide how to change it around. That has a big part to do with how I describe it, because its so authentic and raw.

Who are some of your inspirations?

I like to keep my inspirations close to home. Without having experienced a first hand encounter with an inspiring person or event, then I can't really say I have been inspired by it. When I say I am inspired by an artist it is generally their lyrics that they produce and share. My mom, dad and brother are always good to draw inspiration from. Seeing some of my friends go through struggles and successes is absolutely included in how I draw my inspiration as well.

Who are some of your favorite artists?

Whitney Houston, John Legend, Jessie J, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Prince.
That's just to name a couple, my list can go on forever for so many reasons! Haha.

When will you be releasing new music?

Hopefully my EP will be out the ladder half of 2014!

Who has been your favorite artist to hang out with?

Hands down, Karina Pasian. She was nominated for a Grammy back in 2008 for her debut album "First Love". She has always been so kind to me, inspiring and musically driven to teach me what she knows about this industry.

Any performances coming soon?

Once the EP gets wrapped up I will be booking spots all over NYC and the east coast. I can't wait to bring my message live on stage!

Who would you love to tour with?

This question I have many answers for It would have to be someone that shares the same passion and positive type of message that I want to bring to this world as well. If I got to pick the first name out of my head it would be, Josh Groban.

Where would you love to perform?

The dream of every artist, especially those from NYC would have to be, Madison Square Garden. I will get there! When that day comes I will probably pass out from sheer excitement.

I want to thank Gregori for taking the time for a quick interview. Wish him the best in his musical journey. Support him by downloading Stay on iTunes
