The Extraordinary Havana Brown

The World has never met a DJ and singer like Havana Brown! Little miss Havana Brown, (who, for clarification, originates from Australia, not Cuba), is having a hell of a year!

With her latest smash hit “We Run the Night” featuring Cuban born rapper Pitbull, there is no question that the demand for Havana’s music is rising faster then we can say “Run ‘em, like, run ‘em, run ‘em-Whoop!”

As a DJ she spins old school, electric, R&B, and pop! Her credits come from mastering the skill of mixing these musical styles together so smoothly by adjusting the speeds of a song, then blending them so that the transition is seamless and the effort looks minimal when she does so.The craft is difficult to master, but Havana gets it done just as well as any of her male counterparts in this male dominated arena. She has the look of a Victoria Secret model, a voice that can collaborate with any singer, and the skill to make the beats with such varying artists, this makes the Aussie a triple threat in the music industry!

She is one of the most sought after DJ’s in the land having worked with artists such as Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Rihanna, the Pussycat Dolls, and many more! Havana has toured all around the world and under the wings of Island Records has released 6 volumes of her Crave compilation albums since 2008! Miss Brown acquired a 12 month residency at the Las Vegas, Paris nightclub, Chateau after her North American tour gave her much deserved success in the states, and holds three hugely successful radio spots in Australia and France! Two of the latest singles Havana has released are collaborations with Enrique Iglesias called “Heartbeat”, and of course “We Run the Night” featuring Pitbull! Look out for Havana Browns debut album to come out this year and for my review of the album here at Fusion so you can get the skinny on what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s hot!

Check out  the “We Run the Night” music video below!

The Multi-Talented Amba Shepherd

Amba Shepherd is the latest triple threat to come out of Sidney Australia! Amba is a singer, songwriter, and producer who is gaining world recognition and success through her songwriting abilities, producing, and voice!

If her name sounds familiar it is! Amba is gracing our Fusion charts at #15 having featured vocals on the Finnish producing duo Marcus Maison & Will Dragens song, “Reign”.

According to Ambas website a few of her credits include writing, producing, and singing on tracks such as Ferry Corstens “Walk On Air ” ft Pierre, and Virtual Riots  “Superhuman”. On the subject of her voice, when Amba sings it is soothing almost shy to a point, but when paired with a prog-house beat, her voice can pierce through you having a deep affect on your intake of her lyrics.

Recently Amba has been working in writing sessions with accredited producers, songwriters, and labels such as the OWSLA label which has worked with Skrillex, and talents like Guy Roche who has produced for Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion, Phillipe- Marc Antequil who has worked with Jesse J, Niklas King who has worked with Jennifer Lopez and so on!

Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open because there will be more to come from Amba Shepherd in the future! Until then keep listening to Fusion for more hits!
