Did You Notice A Difference

28 Dec

So, I haven’t been blogging for a while. I’ve been having somewhat “bloggers block” (if there’s even such thing) and haven’t written anything. But I will begin writing new posts starting next week.

Anyway, did you notice a difference in the URL: Ash Magazine’s new URL is http://ashmagazine.com! To not have the wordpress name attached to my blogs URL is huge for me. My other blog: Thoughts of An Undergrad on Love and Life has a new URL: http://www.ashleynicolew.com  

Unfortunately, my first Thoughts Of An Undergrad blog was deleted by way of my Gmail account being deleted, read about it here.

So, for the upcoming year, I am going to try to make Ash Magazine a real magazine, or at least something close to a magazine.

Thanks for reading,

If you’re looking for a new sound that blends club, house and hip-hop, I definitely recommend the new music duo-Starrset.  Brothers Devon True & Maverick McFly maybe still in their teen years but their passion for music shows they’re a force to be reckoned with. Check out the Q & A I had with Devon True:

1)  How did you start in the music industry?

Our Instinct got us started, on top of having a music involved family. 

 2)  Who are your influences for your music?

Art, innovative music/movies, robots, ourselves, electric sounds, planets, anything NEW and HOT, and so on.

 3)  Who are your favorite artists?

Pharrell, Kanye, Timbaland, Starr set, Berg, Shane Trace, Bwise and anyone who pushes the limit of music.

 4) Have you always had a passion for music?

Our main passion was sports at a younger age, but then we came across the love of creating music!, it is the best feeling to know that you can create it so great as we do, ha ha.
