Santigold

Santigold is the stage name of cool American singer Santi White. Her second album Master of My Make-Believe came out this April. This is just one of the great tracks on there.

'Disparate Youth'

As always, if you can sing, do something new with your music and wear interesting clothes we will be massive fans.






We like how the dancers costumes are fun too.

Maybe it is all about the bling, bling, bling.



The video for Big Mouth is a bit crazy so attracts some funny comments on Youtube. 


Nothing you say, can tear me away from My God, My God!


Finally
Her new video for catchy single Keepers has just come out.

She is in the UK for some gigs including Reading and Leeds festivals. Defo worth a look!

Karmin

Karmin is duo and couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan. They really started making waves last year with some sensational covers but it's this song that's on our minds at the minute

Karmin's smash hit 'Brokenhearted'. 7 million views.

We love their sassiness, sense of fun and talent.


At high school Nick was in a concert band and jazz ensemble.

They have a great vintage vibe



Near, far, wherever you are. I believe that the heart does go onnnnnn.

Grease is the word, is the word that you heard. It's got groove, it's got meaning,

Their famous cover of  Nicki Minaj's Super Bass. 15 million views.

Look how soft her hair is in this shot. She's definitely been using conditioner.

Amy's rapping is freaking amazing! 'Look at Me Now' cover.
