    "I'm always the loud one," smiles Katy Tiz.

    Well, it's the "loud ones" who get heard first, and you're going to want to hear everything that the UK singer and songwriter has to say. On her forthcoming debut for Lava Records/Universal Republic Records, Tiz artfully

    She penned the confessional and catchy "Fire Fire" buoyed by snappy beats and offbeat production. Influential blogger Arjan Writes reviewed the track positively, and they began corresponding via Twitter and then email. Arjan informed the artist that Harinder Rana— Senior Director A&R, Lava Records—wanted to get in touch with her as soon as possible after hearing the song.

    "I didn't believe him at all," laughs Tiz. "I gave him my number, and then Harinder actually rang me and asked for more music. That same week, the label offered me a deal. It was a total dream. I don't think I could write it better. It was such a quick transition from living in my friend's spare room in London to being in Los Angeles writing an album."

    The first taste of that album is her debut single, "Famous". With synths that sound plucked from a retro video game, propulsive percussion, and an irresistible refrain—"You only want to f**k me 'cuz I'm famous"—it's an explosive anthem replete with sharp quips about Twitter, name-dropping, and Nintendo.

    She reveals, "It's a tongue-in-cheek, ironic song. It's funny because I'm not famous. I take my profession very seriously, but I want to enjoy this experience as much as possible and have fun—whether it lasts two months or 15 years. I'm almost making this song to prove I'm not one of those fake people. I always want to be real. I want to be me. I'll never change. The only thing that changes is my address." weaves together pop, hip hop, and a little reggae with witty lyrics and punchy hooks. It's meant to be blasted with the volume way up.

    At just 17-years-old, Tiz would join her older brother for local acoustic gigs. The duo would trek up to London from the suburbs and play open mics, doing covers and originals. That's where she really began to cut her teeth as a performer, gigging anywhere and everywhere for over three years. With big bro pursuing production, she focused on developing a style of her own. After flirting with a myriad of genres that didn't seem right, Tiz came to a pivotal realization in early 2011.

    "I was trying to mold myself into what everyone else thought I should do," she sighs. "Then, I decided, 'F**k it! I'll make the music I love'. That's when things started to work out."

    Tiz may not change, but pop music might once the world gets a load of her. Often starting the songs with an acoustic guitar and reggae groove, her approach differs immensely, and she never holds anything back.

    "I'm definitely an open book," the singer affirms. "I want to share my journey with everyone. This music is me. I'm relatively outspoken. I'm not rude, but I believe in saying what you feel. Everything is so clean-cut, and people in the industry are so perfectly formed. That's not me. I'm slightly messier. You know who I am when you hear this. It's real."

    At the end of the day, that's the precise reason why she's also going to connect with everyone who hears her.

    "Personally, I search for songs that comfort me and let me know I'm not the only one who feels a certain way," Tiz concludes. "If I help one person through what I was feeling when I wrote a song, I'll be happy. I hope I can give them what I searched for in music—and that a couple of people other than my mom and dad like the songs."

With over 629 million views, its music video is the eighth most-watched video on YouTube.

Her tenth album Shakira (2014) is preceded by its lead single "Can't Remember to Forget You".

    “Not Ready” is the first single of the solo project Overqualified. The album is written, produced, mixed and composed entirely by C.A.T.. His unorthodox style has allowed him to transcend the pre-established boundaries of hip-hop, techno, rock, and R&B, and in the process has led to the creation of a mélange of music and lyrics that are as unique in sound as are his listeners. This composer/producer/rapper's diverse background and multi-faceted approach to his craft make him a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

    Music trends come and go, but the actual sound remains imprinted on people forever. Every genre can cause a shift in emotion and mood, but there some songs that can create an influx of sounds and completely take over you. This is the sound that San Diego native Convulsic creates to make his mark in the trendsetting worlds of Electronica and Dub-Step. His influence with mainstream artists such as Flux Pavilion and Skrillex is present, however he is nurturing a sound that will compete with the heavy bass hitters of today's scene and with his new singe "Love Space", can define a sound that has potential to make San Diego the new Dub-Step destination. Convulsic's creativity is intense, and it can be heard and felt when listening to "Love Space". Not your typical ballad, "Love Space" is a hard hitting, synth splitting Dub-Step track that takes charge of your speakers and intensifies your senses. Like most Dub-Step, "Love Space" has a soothing intro; comparable to a roller coaster's beginning into their adventurous trail. With light soundscapes and gentle melodies, the song quickly brings in rougher elements including impactful drums and gnarly synths; and before you know it, you're trapped into the song's growling bass lines and snarling synths. "Love Space" ensnares you with its high-octane energy while creating a euphoric atmosphere for audiophiles to submerge themselves in their love for Dub-Step. Convulsic does a remarkable job in exploding his bass-filled tracks while later imploding his song for a smoother audio experience. His techniques are reminiscent of top producers and DJs around the world, so it comes to no surprise that his skill has caught the attention of Dub-Step fans, and has created a strong following. His new single "Love Space" is defining his sound that will surely lead him to success within the Electronic community and shatter the conceptions that people have about Dub-Step. If you are enthralled by bass music and can't get enough of Dub-Step, Convulsic is the perfect artist to listen to and hit the replay button.
