Wldflwr was born Christiana Harry on December 2, 1992 which explains her great ear and passion for music. (Go 90s babies!) She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and refers to herself as Brooklyn’s flower child which is very fitting of her style.Her music has a very free and hippie kind of sound. The name Wldflwr is rooted in her love of the Disney classic Alice in Wonderland: “Do you suppose she’s a wildflower?”.

If I could give a scene to her music it would be reminiscent of an outdoor spring festival where people eat great food, walk around barefoot, and chat over beers while the sun shines with the slightest breeze. Her music is very transparent and allows you to get to know her personally through the stories told in her music. Due to the fact that her music is shaped and molded by her life experiences, the young artist considers herself one of her main influences.

Other influences include Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean, PartyNextDoor. If you are a a Sza fan I do not doubt that you will become a lover of Wldflwr’s music. She has plans to release her long awaited debut EP album in early winter of 2014 entitled Insecure and Nameless.

Some of my personal favorites include “Run”, Empty”, “Secure”, “Technicolor Lightning” and “Alleviate”, and in that order! Feel free to check her out on YouTube as well as on: https://soundcloud/wldflwrx

Young & Hungry Artist Features

1548101_1472789916281754_696660101_o Carl Anscombe is an upcoming artist born and raised in Leeds, West Yorkshire. He however is not new to the music world! His first song, “Dance” was published at the young age of 17 after gaining inspiration and accolades  due to being in Grease the musical. His latest and most popular song “Marry Me”, has had a great amount of success on YouTube with over 3700 views, and counting. When I first heard the song it had a smooth acoustic/pop feel and I was immediately reminded of Jason Mraz ‘I’m Yours’; it was very heartfelt and melodic.

Some of his genres/ influences include but are not limited to Craig David, TGT, Justin Bieber, and Peter Andre. His music was reminiscent in my opinion of artists such as Jason Mraz, Sara Bareiles, and John Mayer. If any of these artists are some of your favorites stay on the lookout for his next single “Dear You” that will be released this year! Some of his future plans include to do some collaborations and one day tour with Craig David,  as well as release more music. He is currently working with a producer in Germany and he also plans to expand his music into the House and Electro genres with hopes of working with other artists as a Shadow writer. Also, being a multifaceted artist he also plans to continue with his acting endeavors as well.

So the primary focus of this blog is to give exposure and credit to young and upcoming music artists hence the name “Young and Hungry”. I am looking to possibly take/share photos of various artists performances, give reviews, and even share links to your music. If you or anyone you know would like to take advantage of this opportunity, send me an email/comment (trinity.furtick@gmail.com). I prefer newer artists with little exposure as this will give us both a chance to grow and refine our brands, but all are welcomed!
