Back in August of 2015, we posted Alessia Cara’s performance of “Here” which was presented to us by Vevo dscvr. Shortly after, we suggested to Vevo via social media that we thought our girl Izzy Bizu would be a great fit for their platform. Izzy agreed!

A few months later in December of 2015, Vevo notified us that they posted Izzy’s performance of “What Makes You Happy” on their Vevo dscvr channel. In addition, she was also selected for Vevo dscvr’s, “Ones To Watch” in 2016 which was super awesome and very exciting news to our ears!

To date, Izzy’s performance of “What Makes You Happy” on Vevo dscvr has garnered 300k+ views. We’re both happy and grateful that we can play a role in the development of such a talented young artist’s career. She’s just getting started!

Alessia Cara’s “Four Pink Walls” EP (8/28)

I initially came across Alessia Cara about a month ago when I heard her debut single, “Here” on Beats 1 Radio. As soon as I heard the record, I instantly tagged it to add to my personal playlist. Other than the Isaac Hayes “Ikes Rap II” sample which was also used by Portishead and stems from the Wallace Collection’s “Daydream”, there was something about this record that reminded me of something that I heard in the past. At the moment, I just couldn’t put a finger on it. Now I know. “Here” reminds me of a record that was released about 6 years ago by an artist named Portia Monique entitled “Get To Know You.” It has a similar soulful feel and vibe to it which I love!

When I found out that Alessia Cara was signed to Def Jam, I reached out to a friend of mine who told me that they were very excited to have her as an addition to their roster. I myself am eager to hear more. On August 28, Alessia will be releasing her debut EP, “Four Pink Walls.”

Stay tuned for more!
