Music Addikts

I know we normally feature vocalist for AFF, but the ADDIKTS don’t discriminate. Good music is good music. Not since I first saw Miri Ben-Ari on Apollo have I been so impressed with someone’s violin skills. On Eric’s Youtube page you can find an array of cover’s from Eminem to B.o.B. to Trey Songz. Trey Songz even gave Eric the honor of shouting him out on Twitter. This Richmond, VA native,who is a music major at Virginia Commonwealth University, has a bright future ahead of him. You can keep up with Eric’s latest videos on his Youtube channel and get updates on his Twitter or Facebook page

Tecla Burey of Windsor, Canada gives us her rendition of Alicia Key’s “Sleeping With A Broken Heart”. If you’re feeling her vocals you can hear more from her on her Youtube Page or you can befriend her on
Facebook.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear Ahmir is new age Boyz II Men. The harmonies the melody, even the lyrics of this track sound like it could’ve been a bonus track on the “Evolution” album. This Boston, MA quartet’s sound is what I think of when I hear people talk about bringing back “real R&B”. With over a million channel views Ahmir’s claim to fame is being the #1 most popular R&B Group on Youtube. With the current pattern and success stories like Justin Bieber, there’s no telling where you’ll see these guys next. Just remember where you say them first.

You can see more of their original songs and even their first video for their single “Come Back” on their Youtube channel. You can also buy their music on iTunes.

It’s always a lot of fun going through YouTube to see what talent we’ll feature for the week.  There is such a huge ‘database’ of talented singers and musicians out there in cyberspace.  Miss Jeida does Fantasia’s “Free Yourself” justice.  More than that, she kills.  Check out the vid and see if you agree!

Find out more about Jeida on her YouTube Channel and also check her out on MySpace.
