Mein Künstler Name ist Wilson. Ich bin 26 Jahre alt. Ich komme gebürtig aus Delmenhorst und wohne seit 2 Jahren in Ganderkesee.

Mit 15 Jahren entdeckte ich mein Talent und die Leidenschaft für das Rappen. Damals war mein Kinderzimmer noch mein Tonstudio. Es verging so gut wie kein Tag ohne die Musik. Das war und ist bis heute einfach das, was ich schon immer machen wollte. Ich verbrachte die meiste Zeit damit, Lieder zu produzieren. Ich gab sie zunächst all meinen Freunden bis ich den Schritt in die Battles in der R-B-A schaffte. In dieser Zeit entwickelte sich mein Talent richtig gut und es ergab sich die Möglichkeit mit Kollegen ein Mixtape aufzunehmen. Das war das erste Tape, mit dem ich wirklich zufrieden war.
Anschließend machte ich erstmal eine längere Pause von den Tonaufnahmen und beschäftigte mich hauptsächlich mit dem kreativen Schreiben neuer Lieder, bis ich eines Tages Vlado begegnete. Er überzeugte mich davon, mit ihm ein neues Mixtape aufzunehmen. Leider hatten wir beide verpasst, es richtig zu promoten, so dass es eher unbekannt blieb.
Es folgte erneut eine kreative Phase des Schreibens, als nach und nach die Bekanntheit vieler Musiker und Künstler durch Veröffentlichungen in den sozialen Medien möglich wurde. Dieses Karriere-Sprungbrett wollte ich mir auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen! Vlado und ich fingen wieder an zu produzieren.

Der erste Erfolg lies zum Glück nicht lange auf sich warten. Im Jahre 2017 veröffentlichte ich auf iGroove meine erste
EP “I AM LEGEND” und Vlado seine erste EP “Im Schatten der Gesellschaft”. Sie verkauften sich gut! Sogar mehr als für einen ersten Start erwartet. Für uns ein großer Schritt und etwas Besonderes auf unserem Weg!

Anschließend entschieden wir uns gemeinsam ein Album zu produzieren und gaben uns den Namen „I Am Legend“.
Gemeinsame kreative Ideen und die Weiterentwicklung unserer verschiedenen Talente vom Rappen bis zum Singen machten aus uns ein vielseitiges „HipHop-Duet“. Durch Verschieben der Schwerpunkte von den Instrumenten hin zu unterschiedlichen Stimmen, erschloss sich ein völlig neues Sound-Bild für uns.

Lasst euch ab März/April 2018 überraschen von unserem neuen
Album „Be a Legend“.

Viel Spaß damit !

 Malachi John Paige aka MalColdVisions The Independent Art Label is a Multi-Media Art Producer (Artist), Art instructor, Actor, Film Director, Producer, Writer, Fashionista and Model that was born in Detroit, Michigan.
Detroit was the place where he had first picked up a brush at age 2 and experienced things most toddlers haven’t considering the environment so fairly soon after.
At age 5, he had been moved to Cary North Carolina.
Cold had showed great potential at an early age and had won an art competition and had been selected to present an original painting of his in 2nd grade for the entire school to see in a museum set up like setting. Even throughout grade school, Cold had been considered a basketball player, it was still obvious how creative and different he was through his fashion and the way he went about himself.

After high school, in 2014 Cold was accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia where he had chosen to be a Philosophy/Theatre doubles major.
His freshman year he had got a chance to meet Cornel West and have him sign an original he had produced of him during a special visit to King Chapel. Besides school, Cold had fell in love with Black Hollywood and figured with his appearance he’d try his hand in modelling for exposure and extra money. While doing so, he walked in a few star studded shows and even walking in front of the likes of Waka Flocka. Besides modeling, he is also considered an natural actor and had been casted in the upperclassmen flooded cast as a freshman in Spelman’s ‘Art After Dark’ at Baldwin Burroughs Theatre and had also been Sold Out both performing nights creating further inspiration to take the Arts seriously.
That same year, he had claimed himself as MalColdVisions The Independent Art Label. The summer after his freshman, 2015, Cold had been posted by Gucci Mane via Instagram, that is one of Cold’s biggest influences that had been a huge feat for him and random as well.

Unfortunately he was not tagged but it was obvious whose work it was. In that same summer while being back in NC , Cold had been selected to present in The Carrack’s community art show in Downtown Durham and was selected to do an exclusive interview with Film Maker, Ian McClerin.
Going back to Atlanta for his sophomore year, Cold had been living with a few of his closer friends that were popular local rappers that had their own label that had another factor into the birth of Cold’s independent art label. Though it wasn’t music as his comrades were but more emphasis on Film, fashion and of course fine art. At this point Cold has one foot in the streets and one in Fine art but fortunately Cold was selected to present at the 21 & up ‘World Famous Chocolate & Art Show’ at the age 20 where he would not even been able to go if he were not in it. Even with having a successful turnout Post show, Cold had decided to put matters into his own hands. Meaning he would organize his own pop up shops on Morehouse’s campus. With him and his work being quite popular in Atlanta, he had even sold out of prints a few times. Unfortunately in the midst of these great individual feats, Cold had to return home to NC before even finishing his sophomore year.

Fortunately, Cold had been hired as a fine arts instructor at Michaels store in Brier creek where he had taught all ages for a year in half before deciding to focus solely on his career and endeavours. Even though legal matters kept him somewhat limited manoeuvre wise, he had still managed to organize a very successful Short Film viewing/pop at Social Status in Downtown Raleigh, a popular high end and streetwear boutique. All being done by Cold without a manager of any sort.

As an independent Art Label, Cold is the first artist to ever produce a visual album via pdf; a project that contains 13 original pieces along w/ producing credits and he has starred, written, produced and directed in 2 short films that are out on YouTube thus far : Vanity’s Gift and Designer Slave Auction, both increasing in views/buzz daily. More short films and full feature films to come.
Cold’s unique and untraditional approach to the Arts is what separates him most from the pack, and whole also executive independently makes it all the more special. Eager for what’s next..

About Jonathan…

It was a lazy rainy day that Saturday afternoon, when one very bored 12 year old Jonathan Vautour first picked up his father’s guitar.

Eventually, a ‘few hours of time to kill’ became a lifelong passion, followed closely by song writing. As years flew by Jonathan found himself playing in worship bands for churches, small gigs at coffee shops, and crowded block parties.

Jonathan is currently working hard to make a name for himself in the musical world, after finishing his first Album, “From The Heart” Which is available for download via Band camp, Amazon, iTunes, and all other major digital music distributors.

“Every song I write is either a story of a struggle, an emotion or ideal that was life changing for me, or a message I was given to share. I aim to proclaim the glory of God and my saviour Jesus Christ through music as I know he has called me to do. The Apostle Paul put it best:”

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
Acts 20:24

​”​I believe we are all called to this, and we are all given a gift in which we are to go about this, I endeavour to be ever truthful in my song writing, and wear my heart on my sleeve.”

Song writing Influences Include: Brandon Heath, Matt Brouwer,Chris August, Matt Maher,John Rzeznik,​ Jon Bauer and many more.

Jonathan Would Like To Thank…

Chachi From BWE for all the help, and continued support with everything I do, as well as all the top notch graphic art you’ve done for me, love you brother!

Tyson Travnik & Excalibur Productions For all the hard you’ve done and continue to do in the studio, and for the advice and connections you’ve help me make.

Steve & Adeline Kinsley For Giving me the kick in the butt I needed to get out there and do something with my music, and for teaching me that confidence in abilities god has given me is a valuable thing. None of this would have been possible without you.

​Kyle Maclean For helping me out countless times, you’re the bomb bro!

Terry Stroud For helping me further my walk with Christ, and supporting me when I need it most. You’re a true friend, and a godly man.

My Mom & Dad For birthing me, feeding me, clothing me, loving me, accepting me, teaching me, supporting me, and bringing me up in the way of christ.

My Adoptive Grandma, Marilyn Blair For always believing in me and supporting me. Rest in peace.

And most of all my loving saviour Jesus Christ Through whom I’m given the strength to do all things.

Heidi Klums Modelkarriere begann in ihrer Heimatstadt Bergisch Gladbach. 1992 gewann sie in Gottschalks Late Night Show den Contest Model ’92. Kurz darauf zog sie in die USA, wo sie schnell für einige Jobs gebucht wurde, unter anderem für das bekannte Unterwäschelabel Victoria’s Secret. Nach Ihrem Auftritt in der Victoria’s Secret Show 1997 wurde aus der bis dahin noch relativ unbekannten Heidi Klum „The Body“. Weitere Aufmerksamkeit erfuhr sie, als sie 1998 das Cover der berühmten Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Ausgabe zierte.

Nachdem Heidi in einigen Film- und TV-Produktionen auftrat, wurde auch Hollywood auf sie aufmerksam. Zu ihren Produktionen zählen Gastrollen bei Studio 54, Chaos City, Cursed, Blow Dry, Zoolander, Sex and the City, Malcolm mittendrin, James Bond 007 – Alles oder nichts, Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie, Ella – Verflixt & zauberhaft, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, Der Teufel trägt Prada, Perfect Stranger, How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, Seriously Funny Kids sowie Parks and Recreation. 2011 lieh sie im Animationsfilm „Das Rotkäppchen Ultimatum“ der Heidi ihre Stimme.

Im Jahr 2004 arbeitete sie an der Entwicklung des von Kritikern gelobten Formats „Projekt Runway“ mit, in dem sie auch in der Jury sitzt und die Moderation übernimmt. Derzeit in der 13. Staffel, wurde „Projekt Runway“ bereits sechsmal in der Kategorie „Beste Reality Show“ für den Emmy nominiert und bekam 2007 den prestigeträchtigen Peabody Award verliehen. Außerdem wurde Heidi dreimal in der Kategorie „Beste Reality Show Moderation“ für den Emmy nominiert und hat die 60. Emmy-Preisverleihung gemeinsam mit den anderen Nominierten in ihrer Kategorie co-moderiert. Darüber hinaus co-produziert und moderiert Heidi die Sendung „Germany’s Next Topmodel by Heidi Klum“, die derzeit in der zehnten Staffel läuft und regelmäßig sehr gute Quoten in Deutschland erzielt.
Im Laufe ihrer Karriere hat sich Heidi auch in weiteren Projekten engagiert. Eine jahrelange Liebe zum Design in vielerlei Formen hat sich in vielen Design-Kooperationen wie einer Schmucklinie, einer Schuhlinie für Birkenstock und einer Bekleidungskollektion für Jordache niedergeschlagen. Im Februar 2010 stellte Heidi ihre beiden Schwangerschaftsmode-Linien „Loved by Heidi Klum“ für die Marke Destination Maternity und „Lavish by Heidi Klum“ für die Marke Pea in a Pod vor. Kurz danach arbeitete sie mit New Balance zusammen, um eine Sportmoden- und Sneakers-Kollektion zu entwerfen, die den Komfort und die Funktionalität von Sportmode mit Heidis modischen Schnitten und luxuriösen Materialien kombiniert. Die „Heidi Klum für New Balance“-Kollektion wird exklusiv über Amazon.com vertrieben. Im Juni 2011 stellte Heidi außerdem noch die „HK by Heidi Klum“-Schuhkollektion auf Amazon.com vor.

Des Weiteren ist Heidi Autorin des Buchs „Body of Knowledge: 8 Rules of Model Behavior“ und hat zusammen mit Guthy-Renker die Hautpflegeserie „Heidi Klum’s In An Instant“ ins Leben gerufen.
Doch trotz all dieser Projekte ist Heidi immer noch eines der großen Topmodels der Modebranche. Sie hat weltweit das Cover beinahe jedes Modemagazins geziert, darunter InStyle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Town & Country, W, Allure, GQ, Arena, Citizen K, Grazia, Lucky, Jane, Glamour, Self, und Harper’s Bazaar. Im Juni 2009 erschien eine Ausgabe der deutschen Vogue, die die „Heidi-Ausgabe“ getauft wurde. Des Weiteren erschien sie auf dem Titel der „100 Berühmtheiten“-Ausgabe des Forbes Magazins im Jahr 2008.
Heidi hat mit vielen der besten Fotografen der Welt gearbeitet, darunter Sante D’Orazio, Patrick Demarchelier, Gilles Bensimon, Bruce Weber, Matthew Rolston, Arthur Elgort, Walter Chin, Robert Erdmann, Michael Thompson, Mark Seliger, Peter Lindbergh und Steven Meisel. Im Jahre 2009 publizierte der Verlag teNeues den Bildband „Heidilicious“, der eine große Auswahl an Aufnahmen des bekannten Fotografen Rankin zeigt.

Heidi ist in Werbekampagnen der Firmen McDonald’s, Diet Coke (seit zwei Jahren ist sie auch Sprecherin für die Red Dress/Herzgesundheitskampagne des Unternehmens), Volkswagen, H&M, Nike, Ann Taylor, Dannon, Thomas Wylde, American Express, Target, Express, Liz Claiborne, Lenscrafters, Siemens, Givenchy, Nine West, INC, Finesse, Braun und im prestigeträchtigen Pirelli-Kalender zu sehen gewesen. Für 14 Jahre war sie ein „Engel“ der weltweit bekannten Unterwäsche-Marke Victoria’s Secret, trat in den Kampagnen und auf der jährlichen Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show auf, die sie in fünf Jahren auch moderierte.
Im Jahre 2010 wurde Heidi vom Internet-Unternehmen AOL eingeladen, eine Online-Präsenz für die moderne Frau zu schaffen. „Heidi Klum on AOL“ ging im Mai 2011 online und bietet exklusive Inhalte, Videos und Blogs von Heidi und einem Expertenteam zu den unterschiedlichsten Themengebieten von Mode und Schönheit über Kindererziehung bis hin zu Partyplanung. Als Jurymitglied bei “America’s Got Talent” ist Heidi seit 2013 im Einsatz.

Heidi modelt und designt weiterhin, während sie neue Formate fürs Fernsehen entwickelt und für „Heidi Klum on AOL“ schreibt. Ihre Freizeit verbringt Heidi mit ihrer Familie.

As modern classic soul goes, there are choices aplenty thanks to an array of independent projects coming and going on a daily basis. Few, however, combine so many of the essential elements as does The British Collective on Vol 1: The Renaissance Begins… Comprised of a dream cast of veteran and longstanding singer-songwriters from all corners of the UK R&B spectrum—Junior Giscombe, Leee John, Don-E, Omar, and Noel McCoy, the well-studied and equally enthusiastic ensemble delivers a festive 14-track CD embodying all that’s fulfilling and enriching about British black music of the past three decades.

The Renaissance Begins… was previewed in 2014 by the coolly swingin’ midtempo, “Romantic.” While that number still pleases, it actually pales in comparison to much of the remarkable material that the Collective has come up with in the interim. From the first measure of the opening “Piece of Heaven,” the guys’ metaphysical understanding of what makes a great groove becomes clear. The vibe is addictive enough to please fans of up-to-the-minute sonic permutations, but solidly grounded in a timeless sensibility that will quickly win over old-school devotees. Don-E’s lightly floating tones on the first verse contrasted with Noel McCoy’s shades of yearning on the second are an example of how the group’s versatile influences provide satisfying returns time after time.

Continuing the flow of “Heaven,” the punchy and peppery “Stay” builds anticipation with convivial handclaps before the groove kicks in. Junior’s impassioned tenor displays both power and vulnerability which have not faded with the years, as a contagious background chant of “Get down, baby girl, get down” compliments the ride further. Lest there be any concern that The Renaissance Begins… is structured from merely a couple of strong entries, the aural delight keeps on with the atmospheric jam “Higher Love” (featuring guests Alex Charles and Errol Reid). Emblazoned with undertones of legato keyboard work, the song’s straight-ahead message of hedonism by means of music and dance is brought home by acutely executed vocal phrasing and subtly sophisticated harmonies.

Following this triple threat of funky uptempo soul, the pace is slowed momentarily for the winding reggae calm of “Take Your Time,” succeeded by the inviting house swagger of “Won’t You Come Over.” Andrew Roachford and Donavon Blackwood lend their distinctive pipes to the latter, leading surprisingly smoothly into the slower, yet just as tasty “That’s Why.” The tune blends rhythmic elements of bossa nova and calypso (courtesy of Andrew McLean) which gel impressively with Omar’s deep, hardy delivery and Leee John’s serene flourishes.

Building even deeper on the wide-ranging palette of sounds, the Collective tackles Trevor Walters’ lovers’ rock anthem “Love Me Tonight” (a 1981 top-30 UK hit) in modestly jazzy groove fashion. Though it’s hard to touch the unaffected sweetness of the original, the guys do a credible job of preserving its integrity while adding distinguished vocal characteristics—from John’s understated treatment to Don-E’s earnestly ardent attack. Meanwhile, John displays a similarly soft charisma on the original, ultra-kinetic “Flow,” a synth bass-driven track bolstered by Junior’s vibrant runs. “Loosen up, feel the pleasure, let yourself flow…” Indeed.

On a particularly ambitious note, John covers Eddie Kendricks’ 1974 gem “Tell Her Love Has Felt the Need.” Strikingly channeling Kendricks with his pure falsetto allurement, he conjures the bittersweet lyrics with acute candor. Although the backing arrangement is slightly lacking in warmth, it functions reliably and is abetted by gutsy closing vamps by McKoy.

After the endearing “Sign of the Times,” The Renaissance closes with the gentle swayer “Doctor Love,” a no-frills slow jam highlighting the Collective’s adept harmonies from start to finish, complimented with an appearance by Glen Goldsmith. It’s a left-field choice to end the set, given that it’s more than a few notches down in tone from almost all of the other cuts; but it serves as additional testament to the guys’ through-and-through successful quest to stray from compartmentalization and formula. Highly recommended.
