15-year old Tiffany Jo has been featured on Youtube Radio with her rendition of Taylor Swift’s Our Song. This country-rock upcoming artist not only plays the guitar, but has a list of accomplishments under her belt from being 2006 Colgate Country Showdown winner to being nominated by the AWA as Star of the Year.
But Tiffany is a Star in a different way as well – she has her own charity! “she donates $2 from the sale of each cd and buys all day passes at amusement parks. Then she hand delivers the passes to military bases so kids who have parents deployed so they can enjoy a fun afternoon for free. She has sent hundreds of kids!”
I don’t think that this music video needs much explanation. This kid has a pretty good headstart, especially already being featured on the infamous Tom’s MySpacae Profile Page.
Thanks for the continued e-mails despite us not being able to post every day. Anyways, I just wanted to let you know to make sure to check this site in a few days. There’s a major tool that’s going to rock the music world for fans and upcoming artists
It’s always a pleasure to see a Youtube singer get featured on Youtube but today’s a treat. Youtube featured a singer singing a song his friends wrote. The song is sang by Matthew Luke Sandovel who lists his influences as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Tori Amos.
As any great artist knows, to be like the Star, you’ve got to dress, live, and sing like those you admire. Dizzler is a website that allows you to search for your favorite music. It then allows you to download the ringtone. Unfortunately, downloading the ringtone is not free and will cost $9.99 USD a month for unlimited downloads. Either way, if you can’t find a song you’d like to listen to on Deezer, you can search for it on Dizzler.
It’s hard to believe that Angelica Vasiclov is unsigned. With a voice that can move mountains, Angelica has been singing since the age of 6. This triple-threat talent can not only sing, she also plays the piano and writes her own music. From Romania, Angelica is currently attending the Musical University of Bucharst. Keep your eyes on her, she’s going to be huge!
This is Samuel “Mo’ Beat Blues” Lozada from Portage, IN. The 56 year old former truck driver, is now a “high-energy” harmonica player and blues singer and currently performs at 65 nursing homes in the MidWest. In this clip he goes off on the solo, and the harmonica becomes such an exhilirating sound. He recently tried out for “America’s Got Talent” to hopefully fulfill his dream of gaining enough exposure and money to purchase a recreational vehicle and travel around the country to perform at even more nursing homes. He was beat out by a miniature pony and a guy throwing sticks!
“I didn’t make it. I’ll stay here, play at the nursing homes and make them happy. I just love to bring them that joy for one hour,” he said. Sam has an engaging smile, a welcoming aura about him and an obvious big heart to match his pipes. Samuel Lozada is what ontohollywood.com is all about…The love. It just don’t get Mo’ better than that.

Thia Megia has a voice that made my jaw dropped once I heard her. I had to play her video twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating…but I wasn’t the only one at awe. Christine, a dear-friend visiting from New York who writes for Seventeen magazine asked me “Oh, is that Yael Naim? I love her.” Little did she know it was coming from 13-year old Thia Megia. You might recognize her from a video featuring one of other talented singers, Jessica Sanchez.
We’ll just let you read what her nominator has to say about her:
Thia Megia had just turned thirteen with singing and performing experience since the age of six. He first major acccomplishment was singing the National Anthem solo for the San Francisco NFL 49ers at the age of ten in front of 70,000 people. She was then invited to sing the Anthem and other half-time performances for Stanford University sport venues including the opening of the new Stanford stadium of 50,000 thousand people.
Thia has appeared as a guest singer on channel KRON 4′s “The World According to Gary” with Mr. Gary Radnich at age eleven. Later that yearof 2007, she volunteered to sing for nursing homes and the American Cancer Society. Thia had also won both titles as the “Saratoga Idol” and “San Jose Idol”.
12 year old Thia had sung more than twice for the San Francisco Major League Giants, also for Barry Bonds Day honoring the homerun record of Mr. Barry Bonds.
Thia has recently appeared as the “Apollo Kid Star of Tomorrow” on the late night “Showtime at the Apollo” in Harlem, New York.
