This is the first ever MWP awards! Where I, Gabriel, will discuss some of my four favorite up-and-coming talents in the music world.
The Bridges is a great band consisting of 5 members ranging in age from 18 to 24. consists of siblings Natalie Byrd (Piano and guitar) Stacey Byrd (guitar) Isaaca Byrd (bass) Jeremy Byrd (drums) and cousin Brittany Painter, who provides hauntingly expressive lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar. Brittany writes most of the bands lyrics, with all five collaborating on the music.”We didn’t care about making it perfect or polished; we wanted it to be real and organic and emotional. It’s kind of raw in some ways, and maybe there are some flaws, but they’re our flaws. I think it sounds like us.” says Natalie Byrd about the band’s new album, Limits Of The Sky. The Bridges are one to watch.
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins is a very talented songwriter and singer. Her first album, 19, was released when she was only, you guessed it, nineteen. Adele began to garner attention with her soulfully delicious voice.her song, Hometown Glory, is on my top 50 list of songs.
Ahmad Jones
Ahmad Jones is an avid participant in the Christian hip-hop community. He even coined his own genre, entitled “hiprocksoul”. Ahmad is a classic punk with his pink beard and stereo on his shoulder, and it shines through in his music. “overloaded” is a classic example of why they will succeed. The song blends great lyrics, great vocals, and fantastic music to create a vivid tale of a tortured man in todays society.Ahmad Jones, your going places!
The Veronicas
This sisterhood duo consists of 20 year old identical twins Jess and Lisa Origliasso from Brisbane, Australia.
The twins are amazingly talented, with 2 albums and 46 songs, the veronicas’ ghostly voices and haunting melodies are what every beginning act should aspire to be. With such dynamic hits as “4ever” and “untouched”, this group isn’t going anywhere but up.
