KAMILLION initially made her mark behind-the-scenes by co-writing Diddy Dirty Money’s “Your Love” [feat. Trey Songz & Rick Ross], Trey Songz “Already Taken”, Jordin Sparks’ “1000”, Rihanna’s “Watch N’ Learn”, and more. While working for FEMA in 2016, she quietly turned her attention towards solo music.

With her star rising across media, she inked a deal with Protect The Culture/LAVA personally signed by Philadelphia industry veteran Marc Byers and Jason Flom C.E.O. of LAVA.

Forget the Painted Eggs: This Is How Miley Cyrus Does Easter
You can always count on Miley Cyrus to do things her way—even when it comes to Easter. While the rest of us will be busy breaking out the Paas egg kits or stockpiling Cadbury chocolates, the pop star has something glitzier planned. “[I’m] going to a drag show . . . duh!” Cyrus told us via e-mail from Los Angeles. But enjoying a drag revue isn’t the only thing Cyrus has in store for the weekend. By celebrating the event with a special series of images by photographer Vijat Mohindra, she is continuing a tradition begun earlier this year in which every holiday is marked by a new photographic statement, a kind of social media calendar. “It started with Valentine’s Day on a shoot with Ellen von Unwerth, went into St. Paddy’s Day partying with some friends, and now it’s Easter,” said Cyrus. “I’m excited that Vogue wants to get involved and celebrate with me!”
With shots of Cyrus posing in pastels, holding glittery carrots, and, yes, getting spanked by the Easter Bunny, the end result is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of a holiday that can skew formal. Playful with a pinup vibe and dreamy colors, the shoot aligns perfectly with Cyrus’s personal look. That makes sense considering she styled it herself with help from designer Bradley Kenneth McPeek, whose innovative eyewear features within. For Cyrus, who has undergone multiple fashion evolutions during her time in the spotlight, sartorial experimentation comes with the territory. “If everything is cute . . . it works together, so pile it on and wear all your favorites at once! No such thang as too much!” she said. With the Met Gala on her schedule, there’s a chance that she’ll apply that same philosophy to her ensemble, but for the moment, Cyrus is most excited about attending the event with Stella McCartney, a designer whose commitment to animal welfare matches her own. “I am vegan and I live a vegan lifestyle. I am animal-product free and honored to represent a sustainable brand,” she proclaimed.
Though the carefree calendar is almost certain to delight fans, whimsical photo shoots only represent one side of what Cyrus has been up to lately. She was among the performers on hand in Washington, D.C., for the student-led anti-gun demonstration March for Our Lives, where she delivered a stirring performance of “The Climb.” “I was so inspired by the youth of [Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School] and proud to be a part of such an incredible moment/movement,” said Cyrus, who considers the day one she’ll never forget. “It was amazing to watch these young people speak and perform. Hopefully, we will begin to see the change and watch these incredible students have an enormous impact on the government and gun laws.” Cyrus said she will continue to support the causes she believes in, including through her nonprofit, the Happy Hippie Foundation. “I’ve got a microphone,” she said, “and I’m not afraid to use it!”

Today sees Seinabo Sey release the video for Remember ft. Jacob Banks LINK HERE.
The video was directed by Sheila Johansson and NewLand and premiered on Dazed. Speaking to Dazed about the song, Seinabo explains, It’s about wanting to be remembered for all of the good things, and hoping that you can walk out of a relationship whether it be with myself in time, or with a person feeling a sense of freedom. After writing the song herself, Seinabo teamed up with friend and fellow artist Jacob Banks, who transformed the track into a love song.
Seinabo recently announced her new single, I Owe You Nothing and accompanying b-side Remember ft. Jacob Banks. Both are now available to buy and stream on all platforms via Virgin Records.

Pushing her art to the next level, Seinabo has taken much of the creative direction for the new record into her own hands, spending the past few months in Gambia (her father’s home country) to film music videos and shoot a plethora of breathtaking new images which encompass her new direction. In the I Owe You Nothing video, Seinabo blends the rich, bright colours of local fabrics with confidence that is evident throughout, she explains I figured it’s time I stand up for myself and this is my best way of doing that.

Certified Gold in Sweden, Pretend earned her a 2015 Swedish Grammy Award for Best Newcomer and Best Pop award the following year.

Seinabo spent three years touring the globe in support of the album, stunning audiences with her expressive, soulful voice. She has played festivals such as Way Out West, Glastonbury and Roskilde. Her television performances include Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Later with Jools Holland.
