Ive been wondering lately if the sweat, tears, time, money, and hard work that many around the country have been placing behind good music in the last couple of years were paying off or if it is all just in vain and ya know I think that there may be a glimmer of hope. I am proud to say that some very deserving artists have been nominated for a Grammy: The Foreign Exchange, Eric Roberson & Melanie Fiona!
These artists in some way or another Gypsy Soul has worked with and has had the honor of evangelizing about the awesome artistry that they produce. What makes each one so special to us?

The Foreign Exchange: Gypsy Soul was the first to bring them to Baltimore. We have a certain pride about being a leader in talent introduction in the DMV area and are happy to hold the title. The FE is a team that hustles hard with the help of all around superwoman Aimee Flint. The FE has introduced many to the sounds of other great artists such as YahZarah, Darien Brockington, Muhsinah, and Calitta Durand amongst others. Without the funds or resources of a label they have gotten their message to the masses, a message that produces beautiful music.
Eric Roberson: This man is the definition of fan appreciation! Not only is his music timeless but his humility and personable demeanor creates a lasting connection to all who meet him. You become a fan when you hear his music and a fanatic when you meet him. For years he's built up the Blue Erro movement and we are proud that the industry is acknowledging his innovative and universally appealing art. Gypsy Soul has had the privelidge of helping to coordinate an interview with him and Exacape The Matrix Online Magazine as well as our favorite DJ, DJ Phaze, spinning at his official release party in NYC.
Melanie Fiona: No matter how much label support an artists might have its not going to work if you dont have the goods to back it up! Melanie Fiona not only has the goods she has the GRACE and good sense to build bonds with her growing audience by visiting universities and taking the time to meet with fans. Gypsy Soul was also the first to host Melanie in Baltimore plus had the honor of hosting her iTunes release party at our October Ear Candy and we were quite surprised at her sweet nature. This nomination is fitting and we hope it will catapult her career because she certainly deserves it!
Thank you to the GRAMMYS for recognizing good music and hopefully helping to steer the industry into a more creative direction! If you havent purchased any of their albums do so TODAY, you wont regret it!
