THE INAUGURAL LA SKINS MUSIC FEST – JULY 15TH, 2011
2011 LA SKINS MUSIC FEST was an incredible event thanks to our awesome performers! BIG SHOUT OUT to AINJEL EMME, REDCLOUD, DJ CRYSTLE LIGHTNING, QUESE IMC and DEY & NITE for putting on a great show! Hope you guys had a great time. The community loved you! See you in November at the 5th Annual LA SKINS FEST.
AINJEL EMME
A free-spirited singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who marches to the beat of her own drum, AINJEL EMME crafts a dynamic blend of folk, pop and soul. Her songs are full of color and humanity, focused on the central issues of living--love, loss, fear and faith. A gypsy soul and lover of adventure, she draws heavy inspiration from her experiences growing up in the American Southwest and its rich, unique culture. In addition to being a gifted musician and storyteller, she is also a captivating performer. Music Connection Magazine boldly proclaimed, "Emme is a true diamond in a sea of rock and roll wannabes." Ainjel just released her second independent album, EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL, and is preparing for her first national tour later this year. Visit her official website (www.ainjelemme.net) for more information.
REDCLOUD with CRYSTLE LIGHTNING and DJ WISE
REDCLOUD (with CRYSTLE LIGHTNING and DJ WISE) went from a gang-banger to a rising rapper who tours the country promoting a positive credible message and whose latest album, Hawthorne’s Most Wanted, reflects his grisly past while offering inspiration and hope for a better tomorrow. “Original hip hip was uplifting and positive,” he says, “It gave somebody hope and changed people’s lives. It was street poetry that anybody could relate to. I rap about average person stories, issues that people don’t usually deal with. I want to let them know what’s going on.” RedCloud is Huichol and Crystle Lightning is Cree.
QUESE IMC
QUESE IMC, the East LA based MC by way of Oklahoma and of Pawnee/Seminole descent, has been working in the trenches of the LA Hip Hop Underground scene for some years now. He expresses himself through hiphop and cultural activism. Quese has performed with everyone, either on the same line-up or in his dreams. His ultimate desire is to have his music heard all over the world.
DEY & NITE
DEY & NITE (Shawndey Micheal and Tawnya Monique Gomez) were born in Gallup, New Mexico. The Twins began playing the piano at the age of nine, began singing at twelve and wrote their first song at the tender age of fourteen and have been in love with writing and performing music ever since. They have created a pure, authentic, organic sound they can call their own, a soft blend of New-Pop and R&B with intentions of making "Twin-Pop" the next BIG THING. The Twins opened up for New Mexico’s biggest concert of the year called "The Takeover III", sharing the stage with artists such as Franky J, Baby Bash, Play-n-Skillz, and Ludacris.
