We are all about the independent artist, the unsigned artist. The artist who is on the brink of taking that plunge into the unknown. Standing right on the edge, toes curled over, eyes closed, waiting to take that leap of faith to get their music heard. We are also about providing that information to assist up and coming new artists with finding the outlet to showcase their talent.
If you are a new artist and you think you got "it", submit your music and we will play it. If you are really good, you will make the rotation on AllNite Radio. Our primary focus is R&B, Soul and Hip Hop, but, we have showcased spoken word and those artists that fight to not be labeled in any one box of music.
The internet is a wonderful blank canvas for artist to paint a vivid portrait of who they are and what they want to relay to their audience. So many resources are available for these artist to have mini showcase of their music. Sites like MySpace are catering to music artists and allow them to offer their followers a change to hear what they are putting out. You have the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Reverbnation where you can instantly provide your music to a larger audience than ever before. You don't have to peddle your wares from the trunk of your car; the internet is your own personal store front.

SHAN'S ARTIST OF THE WEEK
Each week I will be searching the net looking for that artist that catches my eye. Sometime they will be good, sometime they might be comical, but they will always be my pick of the week and we will highlight them a bit on the show if time permits. This week I ran across this dude while I was searching for something else actually. Never ever heard of this dude before. His look kinda reminded me of Donell Jones, just a tinky winky bit. He has I sound that I deem iPod worthy for the most part. Below is a bit of his bio:
In the world of music, there are great singers, talented songwriters, amazing producers, wonderful stylists and great performers who are at the top of the game, but it is a rare thing to find all of those mentioned embodied in one person. However, Oshy is an extraordinary R&B artists who possesses those qualities.
Oshy, who was born Thomas Byrd, discovered the art of singing and songwriting, while watching his father rehearse, record, and perform. His childhood hadn't always been easy and he had watched family members and too many people he knew get lost or taken by the streets. Oshy wanted more and he knew that what one achieves was completely a reflection of what one puts into it…and he put in all he had.

FINALLY WEEKLY THOUGHTS
While you young and talented, or old and not so talent artists realize that, yes, the internet is a great place be seen. it seems like you are only excited about it for a small moment in time. So when someone like me goes to your site and see you promoting your "new" album and the date is 2009; not a good look. Keep your pages fresh and up to date. Even if you have not done anything since Jesus was a baby, put something on there that reflects a change has been made more recent than a year ago. If you don't have anything since 2009, maybe you just aren't relevant anymore. If I pull old music of your page and then you tell me something like "You don't have my latest album?" My come back will be "Oh, your website is not updated, then why is it even up?"...*raised left eyebrow* Yes I went there, all in your face.
I am also going to take my advise to keep this blog fresh and up to date with the shows. Make sure you keep tuning in to ON DECK! to see what new artists we will showcase.
