You may catch Chelsea Monet in D-town or the Bay, but for now you will find her performing all over LA. She is an MC, singer, songwriter and performing artist that is truly a no label, can't place in a box type of artist. So, she fits in perfectly here on Really Not Radio. We recently got together on the corner of 7th & Fig (Figueroa) in downtown Los Angeles to have a conversation about all things Chelsea Monet.
She currently performs with a few bands and is affiliated with several factors in the underground, LA music scene. Chelsea Monet, when performing as herself, you will get a taste of that real, lyrical hip hop flavor saturated with a message that uplifts and brings awareness to many social injustices of today. Tha Next Monet, an electronic-duo where she brings the flow over her band-mate Elliot's electric bass-hop sounds. Then, there is Courtney C where she is on the vocals, of course, Edgar on guitar and Mike on drums. They're giving you something more along the lines of rockin' good vibes. I mentioned previously that you will find her on stage at least 3 times per week somewhere in LA. You must catch a show because she is so charismatic in general, but when she performs her energy is unmatched by most, and she completely engages the audience. The underground scene is alive and kicking in Los Angeles, CA as she explains further during our interview touching on Uptown, Snatch Power, Bananas, The Ubiquitous Love Tribe, Radio Titans and so much more! Not only will you be able to get to know more about Chelsea Monet, the underground LA music scene and life as an indie artist, but she dropped off some of her fav music selections for your listening pleasure. She gave me a nice challenge of arranging her eclectic song choices, but I made it happen. I mean...that's what I do haaaa. SO fun! Make sure you connect with Chelsea Monet on your favorite social network. Support her MUSIC, watch her videos and attending a show should absolutely be on your bucket list. I'm just saying. You will find her current projects here: Chelsea Monet "Self Help Raps", Tha Next Monet "The Bamboo EP"Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook

Hey my beautiful people! What a wonderful day to hit the beach and hangout, and that's just what I did with recording artist, songwriter, educator and just all around dope person Jessica Jolia. We spent some time discussing all things music in Manhattan Beach, which is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles, CA. Surrounded by the vibe of beach life, good music and good people set the stage for a real cool conversation. Jessica Jolia is currently on tour with Eric Benet, her song "Sometimes", which you can download on iTunes, is a part of the movie "Sister Code" starring Amber Rose, Eva Marcille and Drew Sidora set to release this year. Her debut studio album, "Watercolors" is scheduled to release this month, and of course it will be featured here on Really Not Radio. I personally can't wait because it's going to be a welcomed addition to my arsenal of timeless albums that will make an impact on the state of today's music. Jessica Jolia isn't just a recording artist, but a true entertainer at heart. Her talent and passion to perform whether completely engaging the audience while singing on stage, or acting out by being witty and humorous uplifts everyone's spirit she comes in contact with. She is such a down to earth and genuine person, which is hard to find in artists these days. I fall in love with the music then meet the artist, and wish that interaction never even happened. Real talk. Well, I won't keep you much longer and free you to get into our conversation below. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. Not only will you be hearing what's going on with Ms. Jolia, but every song you hear on this show was hand-picked by her, which is a fun treat to know what moves her.
Per usual, here on Really Not Radio, remember to support independent artists by purchasing their music online, connect with them on your favorite social network and attend their live shows when they're in a city near YOU. Here are some links to connect and to stay in the loop with all things Jessica Jolia! iTunesInstagramFacebookTwitter
