KLASHING HEARTS
 Album: “Notes,
Stars, and Hearts”
Genre: Pop
“Before you even
heard us you assumed that we were wack?”
“Klashing Hearts” is
a new kind of Hip-Hop /Pop band recently signed to indie record
label Realm Music Group in Hollywood, FL. Members Jordan, Jorge,
Jesus, and Alex. Klashing Hearts came together with the idea to
combine “clashing” music genres, not just Hip-Hop or R&B, not just
Rock or Pop - but all of the elements combined creating a singular
sound. Their debut album , “Notes, Stars, and Hearts” released
July 2011, will appeal to fans of Gym Class Heroes, The Black Eyed
Peas, and anyone who loves feel-good music with substance to it.
Klashing Hearts feels that music isn't just about entertainment;
it's about uplifting people with positivity and meaning behind
every line and every note.
The first single
being released from the album is slated to be “Blah, Blah, Blah.”
This fun, humorous track was conceptualized in only ten minutes
with lyrics like “Please, no offense at all/But you need to stop
right now/Try to tune you out like Blah Blah Blah/But-- get outta
my car.” It not only shows off the group’s ability to be comedic,
but it underlines their talents as musicians. Klashing Hearts
composed, wrote, and produced all of the music and lyrics on their
debut album “Notes, Stars, and Hearts”.
Ricki Erik
-President and Record Producer at Realm Music Group has been
following the boy bands career for nearly four years when they
brought their first demo track by Realm Music Group’s recording
studio in Hollywood, FL. The band was looking for constructive
criticism and feedback, wanting to make sure they had the talent
and hoping to be signed to a record deal. Ricki was astonished to
see the talent at such a young age but felt the boys were too
young at the time to be on the road or signed to a deal. The boys
came back frequently to the studio and when they completed their
album he realized these guys were not only serious about music and
their musical career but they were gifted with artistic talent and
creativity and we signed them to a record deal. Ricki adds “What I
liked about Klashing Hearts most is that their sound was so unique
there would be no mistaking them for another band and as a record
label that’s what we were looking, something undeniably
different”. “When you listen to the album, you can tell its’ them
because their sound is unique and once they build their fan base
they will rise to new heights in music”.
Another great track
from the album is “Sparklers.” This bold anthem challenges all of
the people who attack the group. “They say quit/We’ll never ever
make it/You can take everything/Until I’m singing naked.” This
inspirational song invites everyone to “wave your sparklers” in
defiance of people who try to bring you down.
“It’s just the
beginning, you know.
I wanna be here for a while.
I want our
music to be loved and hated.
I want people defending us, and I
want people attacking us.”
The quartet pride
themselves in being self-taught and using live instruments. This
makes radio-ready tracks from “Notes, Stars, and Hearts” such as
“Beauty Doesn’t Need a Name” that much more impressive. “You’re
once in a lifetime/A shooting star/Beauty doesn’t need a name/It’s
just who you are.” This song highlights the group’s goal of
putting special meaning into every aspect of their music.
Klashing Hearts has
been influenced by everything from the oldies to new pop radio.
Their goal is to change the structure of pop today and bring a
sense of musicality back to the radio without losing any
creativity, fun or dance-ability. The members of Klashing Hearts
have known each other for years and feel that they are more than a
band, more than music – “They are a Brotherhood”.

Aria Morgan
 Aria was a name
given by her father, Owen Morgan a very gifted traditional gospel
musician who must have been discerning when he named his second
daughter of three ‘an opera solo’. He was very passionate about
music for his daughters and it was evidenced by long hours of
classical piano and voice lessons given to them all.
With her background
being one of strong gospel influence, Aria and her sisters started
entering national church talent competitions, with Aria performing
in the solo categories. There was always that extra energy and
confidence that would emanate when seeing Aria in performance and
this continues to this day especially also being a professional
dancer.
Aria is from a
family of teachers whose focus was of course on academics and
career. She studied at the University of Technology in Jamaica,
University of Reading in the U.K. and the University of New
Orleans in the US where she studied up to a Masters level in
Property Economics, Valuation Surveying as well as Business
respectively.
Although she has been working with the
government for all of her professional life, she has always
maintained her involvement in music and dance touring locally and
internationally. She later got exposure to singing reggae music
when she started doing background vocals for artistes such as Ryan
Mark, DJ Nicholas and Christopher Martin in studio.
When witnessing Aria
in performance it is obvious that ‘she was born for the stage’ and
‘she makes the stage come alive the moment she steps onto it’.
Aria will accomplish anything she wants to because the moment she
decided to take her music to the next level, she started seriously
writing immediately.
Aria has used a
combination of genres, neo soul and reggae as well as dancehall to
communicate her warm and pleasant but excited, strong, infectious,
intriguing and dramatic personality. Since she officially launched
her music career, she has released five singles so far which
include “Goose Pimples”, "Fulltime Love", "Sweet Loving", a
Christmas track "Come Back To Me" and the most recent “Trust Mi
(Don’t Watch Mi)”. The songs have all been received with positive
reviews and have been getting airplay locally and internationally.
It is said that Aria will be the next Jamaican female sensation to
explode on the international music scene, evidenced by the
progress she has be making since the start of her journey.
She
has been performing at various corporate functions and has been
apart of the live music scene locally. Her latest accomplishments
include being signed to an independent label; Realm Music Group
located in Florida as well as the completion of her debut album
entitled ‘Fulltime Love’. Look out for great things from this
upcoming artist.
