Last summer I was introduced to Stefani Vara (singer/songwriter) and it's been amazing to see her on various covers and hitting the red carpet. Above is a video that shows her behind the scenes footage for her spread in Urban Latino!

As promised, I wanted to share with you info about some of the people that I met at a recent BMI event which focused on amazing songwriters that should be on our radar! They were all talented with many of them having such accomplishments as writing for Jaheim, Rhianna, Chris Brown and so much more. With each person that I met, I was definitely excited to go back and see who they wrote for and of course, looking forward to see who else they will collaborate with next! I hate saying that someone is a favorite over another; however, I did have a favorite - Shawn Fisher!

If you want to see Shawn FIsher and his band, it seems you will have to be in Orlando; however, you can see his music on You Tube and also on MySpace! Above, I have included the acoustic version of 'Come Back Home'. Fisher not only has his band but is an accomplished song writer that signed with BMI. This month, he and his band will share the same stage with 3 Doors Down and Candlebox. What I loved the most is that even with all the buzz that's surrounding him, this Jacksonville native is super down to earth! We both talked about how much we enjoyed Aerosmith and which songs were our favorites! I'm definitelty excited to continue to see him and his band continue to get out there for more people to fall in love with his sound and his true passion for music!
