Today, New York City based online media company For Your Imagination announced several new artists set to appear in June in what it sure to be the start of a great summer of live music.
On June 4th, LIVE@FYI will showcase red hot independent hip-hop artist Blitz the Ambassador at 7:00 p.m. It will be the music show’s second foray into the world of hip-hop, having just recently hosted Chicago native Soulstice.
Singer-songwriter Jake Walden follows a week later on June 11th for a mid-day performance slated for 12:00 noon. The California based Walden will be in New York for appearances on Sirius Satellite Radio as well as a performance at the Rockwood Music Hall in addition to his LIVE@FYI appearance.
Hip-hop producers and recording artist Christian Rich will be featured on June 12th at 5:00 p.m. With an impressive list of production credits including tracks by Lil’ Kim, Young Gunz and Foxy Brown, the twin brother duo will be performing tracks from their forthcoming EP The Decadence.
Roadrunner recording artist The Parlor Mob will be featured on June 17th at 5:00 p.m. Currently on the road with Earl Greyhound, the New Jersey rockers just released And You Were a Crow, their full-length debut.
Inspired at an early age by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, Homeboy Sandman began rhyming at the age of nine and has quickly grown into one of New York City’s hottest independent hip-hop artists. He is scheduled to take the LIVE@FYI stage on June 19th at 4:00 p.m.
Hailing from Wales, Arista Records newcomer Paul Freeman will join the impressive list of LIVE@FYI alumni after his solo acoustic performance on Friday, June 20th.
