Ferro "Stay With Me" Video

Emerging record producer, singer, and songwriter, at the age of 14, Ferro produced/ arranged, wrote, and completed an entire album.

Ferro, who is Black and Puerto Rican, was born in New York and moved to Atlanta in 2019 to attend Woodward Academy. Obsessed with Usher as a baby and singing on stage since the age of 3, his love and respect for music have been undeniable. But it wasn’t until the pandemic that he began making beats out of boredom. His mom signed him up for a virtual beats-making class with hundreds of kids from all over the world, and every time he created a new beat, his creation would be amongst the top 3. That’s when he discovered he had something special.

In the Summer of 2024, Ferro traveled to Italy with his school and performed in four cities, and at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. He’s also attended the Otis Redding music camp, where he has produced, written, and performed at the Macon Opera House, leading to a holiday performance. That’s when he received his first paycheck
for music. Ferro says, “My mom framed the check for me, and it’s hanging prominently in my room to remind me of what’s possible when you do what you love.” On August 8th, 2024, Ferro released his first single and video, “Stay with Me,” available on all streaming platforms. “It was a labor of love. My mom allowed me to release a single if I did
the research on distribution, shot my own video and most importantly, got good grades.”

Ferro aspires to be a musical household name and believes that with hard work, it will all pay off. He modestly says regarding his latest single about life and love from a young man’s lens, “I believe it’s a solid body of work for a 16-year-old, and I have room to grow.”

Xavier Omär & ELHAE - Luv 4 U (Official Music Video)

We made this song to restore the feeling of love being a good thing in r&b. There’s nothing like having feelings for that person you can’t get out of your mind. Luv 4 U makes that emotion tangible.”

Xavier Omärand ELHAE, who have been friends since they were 14, wanted to deliver a small project to feed the fans that have desired more collaborations from the two for years. After some live shows, and the single “Favourite” (also featured on the new EP) was released to much acclaim, the duo went to work to put together a release worthy of their soulful mindsets. “Truth Be Told” is the EP that was delivered, and with their first single, “Luv 4 U” just now released, this project is a statement of not only the pair’s undeniable chemistry as artists, but also that they are here and ready to be the next rising stars of R&B.

Sapphira Cristál Blooms With Gratitude On “Get Your Flowers”

Sapphira Cristál Blooms With Gratitude On “Get Your Flowers”

New Single Out Now – Listen HERE

Sapphira Cristál had an iconic run on the most recent season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, earning the title of Miss Congeniality. Today, she has released her new single, “Get Your Flowers”, a beautiful ode to gratitude that doubles as a certifiable dancefloor bop.

Written by Sapphira with Tazman Mekell Gillespie with production and additional songwriting by Ocean Kelly, and with its empowering message, a chorus you can’t forget, and some clever operatic flourishes, “Get Your Flowers” is a shining cut from the drag legend’s forthcoming new album (more details in the coming weeks).

Speaking about the track, Cristál noted: "The message of "Get Your Flowers" is twofold: it's a love song to all the fabulous people in this world that I want to acknowledge for being their wonderful selves, and it's a love song to myself, because I believe we should all see the value of giving ourselves flowers. I think it's important to give people their flowers while they're still here—to make sure they receive the love and acknowledgment others have for them.

"Get Your Flowers" is also a feel-good song for the summer! It's for family gatherings and class reunions, something meant to be perfect to groove and dance to while celebrating love and happiness. The song ends with a line dance for all to be able to let go, give in, and free themselves on the dance floor!"

Today’s announcement is just a part of an already booming year for the classically trained Sapphira Cristál, which also includes her Soundcake performance alongside fellow drag legends Monét X Change & Thorgy Thor at NYC’s Lincoln Center, the announcement of her forthcoming The Cristál Ball live tour, and her self-love anthem “Enough” (debuted by Paper Magazine).

Sapphira’s The Cristál Ball Tour will kick off July 11 in Vancouver, making hotly anticipated stops in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, her beloved hometown of Philadelphia, and many more. The Cristál Ball Tour will bring Sapphira’s limitless creativity and personal story to life with hilarious anecdotes, audience immersion and a mystical charm that only she could conjure. More info HERE and full dates below. Sapphira will be also giving a special preview of the tour in Provincetown, July 3-6 at Live At The Art House.
