Butterscotch


 



DJ Michael of Streetwise Radio found another fantastic underrated artist he is playing by the stage name of Butterscotch. Butterscotch is amazing! This 27 year old talent from Sacramento California has a gift. She’s a musician who beat-boxes, sings and plays several instruments including the piano, flute, saxophone, bass and guitar. Butterscotch was a finalist on “America Got Talent” in 2007 and won both the first International World Female Beat box Champion and the West Coast Beat box Champion for both genders. Some of her musical influences are Frederic Chopin, John Coltrane and Stevie Wonder. Yes, Butterscotch is a jazz, classical, hip hop and R&B artist not to be under estimated. Butterscotch has mad skills. Her style is unique. I can see her doing great things in the music industry. Some songs I added to my playlist are “Perfect Harmony”, "Hypnotize Me", "Obsession" "Silver Lining", "Don't Worry" and “Summertime”. Listen to songs from Butterscotch on Streetwise Radio.

Philip Brooks


This smooth playing jazz pianist is so relaxing, he puts you in a peaceful mood. Phillip Brooks, keyboardist and producer is a Detroit native.He was writing jazzy songs at the age of nine years old. In his teens Philip was performing and recording with Gospel singer Thomas Whitfield from Detroit MI. This led him to also record with Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Rev. Paul Morton, The Soul Children, out of Chicago IL, and many others. Philip Brooks also played with artists like Anita Barker, Mary J Blidge and the late Wayman Tisdale. I really like his playing. I’m glad he came from behind the scene.  Some of my favorite songs are “Ocean View”, “I Thought About You”, “Summer Winds” and “The Anointing”. To listen to this underrated amazing artist tune into Streetwise Radio. You can also listen to Streetwise Radio on  iTunes, MyGen365, Athena365 and Live365.Pandora.
