interview by Michael McCarthy The reason this interview is titled Much More Than The Voice is that today’s subject is Whitney Fenimore, who you may recall from season 13 of a little show called The Voice.

DEMO TAPED: “OWN IT” Hailing from Atlanta, the 19-year old R&B sensation known as Demo Taped has just released his highly anticipated Momentary EP. The central theme of the release is dealing with his anxiety and depression, something most of us can relate to these days. That said, we’re especially fond of the relationship-inspired song…

interview by Michael McCarthy Kat Cunning (aka Katrina Cunningham) is a singer/songwriter who mixes pop, soul and Baroque influences with excellent results. So far, however, she’s been known for her work as a Broadway actress and dancer, having performed in Dangerous Liaisons, Cirque Du Soleil’s Paramore and NYC’s Sleep No More. She’s also performed as…

Kylie Minogue, Princess of Pop, is baaaaaacK (with a capital K for Kylie)! On her new single, “Dancing,” she does what she does best: she dances and she sings about doing precisely that. (How joyous!)
