Jonny Stemp, a twenty year old songwriter introduces himself as a promising new artist with the release of ‘Holy Days‘. The track which is along the same line as something from Hozier, was co-written and co-produced by duo Bubba & Oyvind, who have worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Snow Patrol, & will.i.am.

The London performer studied popular music at Newcastle University, and earned his musical chops playing on the university’s pianos and performing Open Mics.

UK music blog The Line Of Best Fit premiered the song which has garnered 10k+ SoundCloud streams since its release.

If there is an artist who is on the cusp of breaking out, it’s Nashville singer-songwriter Shannon LaBrie. She’s back with a new album ‘War & Peace‘ which was tracked live at Nashville’s House of Blues Studio with producer Tom Michael.

Her yet-to-be released album has received strong support which included a single premiere by Paste Magazine while the single “Alcohol,” has clocked 1.5 million streams on Spotify.
