*ARTIST UPDATE* TJ FOX

I introduced you all to TJ Fox back in July, the singer songwriter from Queens who had a sweet story and an even sweeter sound.  Since his interview with A Vocal Accord, TJ has been keeping busy in the studio writing and releasing new material in preparation for his fans to hear as well as playing various gigs.  His two latest songs are: "Leave it All Behind" and "The Last Good Memory"

Check out what TJ had to say:

Best of 2013: "A lot of great things happened in 2013.  I have been insanely busy basically gigging 4-5 nights a week anywhere from Manhattan to the Hamptons, in bars or parties, whoever needs music!  One of the highlights I would say was being able to participate in the CBGB Festival.  I played two separate gigs affiliated with CBGB and I felt like that is a great addition to my resume.  Also, new music will be coming more often as I have a steady schedule with the producer I work with so stay tuned!"

Coming in 2014: "I will be working on multiple projects in 2014.  Projects such as my own original music, and hopefully featuring in other artists music to produce a nice collaboration.  Other than that, just continuing the gigging scene and getting myself out there!"

*ARTIST UPDATE* KEWIN COSMOS

In May, I introduced you all to the sweet and talented Kewin Cosmos.  His soulful voice and pure passion in his musical delivery, along with his terrific support system all stood out.  Since we've met Kewin he released two music videos: one for a cover of John Legend's "All Of Me" and another for his original work, "Encuentro y Olvido" which is also the title of his debut EP.  

Here's what Kewin had to say:

Best of 2013: "The highlight was being able to grow a fan base so fast and being recognized for the talent and diligence my team and I put in! All i can say is 2014 better be READY!" 

Coming in 2014: "Well the GOAL for 2014 is to complete and release my first album and expand my music to the world.  Just to keep growing with my Team."

*ARTIST UPDATE* J'SUN

Back in June, we met former contestant of NBC's "The Voice", J'Sun, on his journey through his music career after the show.  Since then, J'Sun has launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in order to fund his upcoming EP and has been working diligently to make sure this production is something that all of his Limerz (as he calls his fans) will enjoy.  

Check out this update on J'Sun:

Best of 2013:  "My highlight was being on The Voice Season 4 and meeting really great people in the process. Getting to work with Shakira and have off camera conversations about myself and my music. It's been a great year and I know 2014 will be even greater."

Coming in 2014: "I will be releasing the first single from my debut EP "MAZE" in early 2014 and also working on the entire EP to hopefully be released mid 2014. There is a lot in store for my new project which I am currently working on now and I can't wait to share with everyone." 

*ARTIST UPDATE* ALYSSA DEL-VALLE

Back in February of this year we all met the young and high spirited Alyssa Del-Valle.  Her journey was marked by her love for Disney music and a struggle that almost claimed her ability to sing.  While Alyssa struggled with her hearing at one point in her life, she fully recovered and shared her gratitude for being able to enjoy music once again.  

Here is an update on Alyssa to wrap up 2013:

Best of 2013:  

"My highlight of 2013 was singing at Disney. It was the first time I performed at Downtown Disney, and I was able to work with the Disney Cast members to create a great show!" 

Coming in 2014:  

"Projects I will be working on in 2014 is that I will be having a Cabaret show, I will be performing at "Quad Jam" which is a Manhattanville event, and I will be singing at Disney World again!"
