Nu-Soul Magazine Presents Art & Soul

A Night Full Of Artistry and Soul Music at The Mezz

On a beautiful night in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, the scene was set as some of LA's most talented artists gathered to display their artwork and music. The Art + Soul event presented by Nu-Soul Magazine gave people a chance to come out and discover the underground art movement sweeping the streets of LA.

Nu-Soul Magazine founded by Norman Mayers in 2006, bridges the gap between the world of R&B/soul and the underground vibes of electronica. Nu-Soul showcases artists and events in Greater Los Angeles updating the Neo-Soul community about the latest trends in soul and urban culture.

Art +Soul featured artists Teresa Bone, City Mindfunk, Otha Davis, Christine Miyahari, Kyoko Cole, Daniel Felechner, Lola, Gigi, and Keenan Chapman. Painting, clothes and multiple forms of art were curated on the second floor of The Mezz located on South Spring Street. 

   
Vendors included fashion and jewelry from Thot Creations, Boho Funk, Litered Nation, JWNY, Sluts and Diamonds, and Polish by Ash.

The soundtrack for the night was provided by Seven57 and guest DJ Kronika (Soulection) that had the vibe feeling just right mixing old school soul, R&B, Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul and electronica.

The night was topped off by featured act Nikki Grier providing her soulfully and sexy performance with covers such as "Sugarfree" and songs from her most recent release "Soulgasm Vol. 9 - The Dreamy Water Sign" with grooves such as "Everyday"and "Love For Your Love."

While many of today's urban music trends include "Poppin' Mollys" and sexually exploiting women, Neo-Soul/Soul artist André DePriest brings a breath of fresh air with his newly released EP Temptations, a soulful journey through relationships and the temptations driving the human spirit.

DePriest, whose focus is to bring back more of a positive and soulful vibe to the urban community and around the world, blesses listeners with his soulful voice over traditional Neo-Soul backgrounds with his current single "If You're Ready." 

As André prepares to release his next single "Get Over You," which features an old school feel blended with new school style and flavor, check out some of the reviews he has received from top Neo-Soul subscriptions.

     "André DePriest is ready to emerge as a seasoned veteran ready to take the music world by storm." - Godfrey Fletcher,  Neo2Soul Promotions  Click here

   

   "André DePriest  has shown that he can hang with some of the best in the neo-soul pantheon.  Understated, yet masterfully textured and layered vocals ride over the top of some extraordinarily smooth and chilled-out beats, suitable for a night out or a night in with a loved one. Classic soul elements and modern hip hop grooves coincide effortlessly, and definitely leave us waiting for what André will come with next!" - Norman Mayers, Nu Soul Magazine  Click Here

Temptations is currently available to purchase and download at http://andredepriest.bandcamp.com/
