Armed with an unparalleled zeal for activism, ZaRio spearheaded a number of movements that were designed to inspire change and impact lives across the country.

It is one thing to spot a talented person; it is another to give them a chance and the resources to develop themselves. For 21-year-old Nicki Tha Great, her undeniable talent was first noticed by her grandparents when she was four. They immediately enrolled her in piano lessons, and the journey became an upward climb from there.

Nicki Tha Great got a shot at putting her talents to use in the church when she joined the church choir. She rose through the ranks quickly by becoming one of the youngest members to get solo performances. When she reached 13, she moved to upstate New York, picked up her piano again, and started writing songs. Throughout her high school education, Nicki spent time writing and performing her original songs, which earned her a fanbase at a young age as an underground artist. In 2017, she released her first single, “Track,” on SoundCloud.

Quality and authenticity are two of Nicki Tha Great’s superior qualities as a musician. She has remained consistent with her identity since she hit the spotlight and has fully embraced her identity as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Over the last four years, she has devoted time to her craft, writing more songs, producing and engineering her songs all by herself. Her strongest suits are her versatility and ability to make music in any genre.

With her biggest single ‘That Woah’ at 150,000 streams, following with ‘Moment’ ft. DeadInside reaching 80,000 streams within a month, Nicki Tha Great has all the validation she needs as an artist to keep doing her thing her way. She’s an independent artist who has proved to be one of the best voices to come out of New York. She was recently featured on Medium and Vocal for her new singles, and she looks forward to gracing more publications and magazine covers.

Citing past experiences as the main reason why she stuck to music as an artist, Nickii Tha Great also shares that she believes she’s embedded with so much talent to keep to herself. “I find it rather selfish to have a talent and not share it with the world when your talent can bring such positivity into people’s lives, that would be why I decided to make this a full-time career, cause I am in love with what I do, and it benefits others,” she said. “Thinking back on my life, I have too much pain, stories, and events to share with the world,” she added. 

While she continues to put out music, Nicki Tha Great already has the next five years in view, and she wants nothing but comfort for herself, her family, her team and everyone working with her. She hopes to take care of everyone in her life, inspire people, influence lives, and change as many lives as possible. She also wants her audience to be inspired by her journey and focus on their set goals without minding what anyone has to say about them.

Nicki Tha Great has more projects in the works and hopes to expand her fanbase with more musical projects and collaborations.

It’s undeniable that the world is facing dark times these days. There are countless issues that have come to light within society, as well as a ravaging global pandemic that has taken countless lives and impacted the entire world as we know it. In these destitute times, a genuine artist needs to rise up and speak the truth, and that voice comes from none other than the man known as Prøphet.

Prøphet’s artful music is rooted in soulful tones that reflect society through genuine lyricism since his musical debut. The rising star is revolutionizing the music industry with an approach centered around shedding light on the reality of the world, especially when it comes to discrimination of all forms.

Born in March 1997, Prøphet is a Neo-Soul artist straight out of Raleigh, North Carolina. He has experienced a genuine mastery of his craft, honing it throughout the years and fully realizing his capabilities in the process. Growing up, he always had the inherent capacity to be great at singing, a talent that he picked up from his mother, Karla Yvette Townsend.

Prøphet is a self-trained artist who has planted his artistic roots at an early age. His diverse background in music started at Powerhouse Church of Jesus Christ. Early on in his career, he has already established a name for himself as a songwriter for significant people within the music industry. 

He has also surrounded himself with equally talented individuals that have helped him realize his potential and forge his artistic visions, namely, his manager, Ron Lucas, and childhood friend Kamozie Williams, who has also made a name for himself as a skillful pianist. Nowadays, Prøphet is a renowned musical artist with his exceptional tone, endless voice range, and symbolic songwriting skills. 

Furthermore, he is inclined to compose original sounds that tackle social issues and hardships, garnering resounding respect and applause from his worldwide audience. During these dark times, Prøphet has found inspiration to speak up and use music as a weapon helping people feel empathy, understanding, and at times deliver a story of hardship unknown to many. 

When the global pandemic struck, Prøphet released a single called “Woke.” The song tackles the struggles of the African American community, emphasizing police brutality. The efforts of his message sparked attention overseas before it even hit the United States, touching and inspiring the hearts of many.  

Riding the wave of the massive success of his newly released single, Prøphęt started a visual podcast entitled Woke Wednesday, referencing his recent single. The show is focused on discussing the rampant concerns on racial issues, mental illness in the Black community, and even updating audiences on political debates. Recently, Prøphet also released his EP 1619 during Black History Month, with an ongoing release to be completed at the end of this year.

As spring quickly fades away, summer is upon us. This means new music will be dropping left and right. It can be hard for music fans to sort through and find new artists and projects that resonate with them in a time where so many artists are releasing music. Every once in a blue moon, a talent will arise that stands out in the chaos of modern-day streaming platforms. I found a singer that goes by the name of Marty from the Well, and I couldn’t help but share my discovery. Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, Canada, Marty from the Well has always had an incredible passion for music and the arts. Receiving an electric guitar for his birthday at age 14, the young artist tried to teach himself how to play. Slowly picking up skills with his instrument, he then began taking a basic introduction to music course at his high school, developing a love for music with his friends Danny and Ben at a very young age. 

Once graduating from high school in the suburbs of Montreal, Marty went on to study chemical engineering. Losing touch with his old pals from high school was tough, but something that never went away was his passion for music. After graduating from college with a full degree, he went on to travel the world for his work as a chemical engineer. Living abroad in places like Boston, Indianapolis, California, South of France (Cannes), Paris, Quebec City, and then finally back to Montreal. After having seen so many new places and being constantly on the move, his return to his home province marks a crucial stage in his story. 

After some time, Marty reconnected with his old friend Danny from his high school. Danny reached out, asking to meet up for dinner so that they could catch up and discuss all the things that had developed in each other’s lives over the course of the last couple years. This is where Marty discovered that his other friend Ben had gone on to become a successful music producer, following his dreams that the boys shared back in their high school days. The boys reconnected with Ben over Facebook and went over to his new house to visit him. Ben had converted his garage into a music studio and had been working out of it for some time, mostly producing for local artists, but not exclusively. He also found some success producing music for very popular TV shows like CSI LA, CSI New York, Jersey Shore to name a few.

After listening through some of Ben’s Catalog Marty suggested to him that they work on a song together. Ben took on his role as producer, Danny picked up his guitar, and Marty began to write lyrics for the song. Not thinking much of it, Marty was called up to record his first-ever song, and this would mark the beginning of a long-lasting career in music. After some convincing, Ben agreed to work on an entire project with Marty, under the condition that he take 6 months of singing lessons. To many artists, this would have marked the end of their musical career, but Marty is passionate and driven, so he agreed and decided to take this music thing seriously. 

The young creatives from Canada then began the creation of what would become Marty’s debut album titled Marty and the Well. The album was a great success for his first release; the high-quality production mixed in with extremely well-timed melodic tones made for an amazing listening experience. The 12-song album was released in 2016 and has amassed a great amount of support over the years. Many have been wondering when Marty would return to the spotlight, eagerly awaiting the next release from the talented singer. 

That time has finally come with the release of his new hit song entitled “I.D.G.A.F”” it has quickly received tons of recognition on Spotify and has paved the way for the release of new music in the near future. The new project is titled “Change” set to release in August, this project will mark a key point in Marty’s career. We should expect an emotional EP that demonstrates growth, having had multiple years to develop his sound and energy Marty from the Well is back and better than ever. Keep your eyes peeled for the new EP, and give him a follow on social media and Spotify to stay updated on all things Marty from the Well.
