Grammy Family Northwest

 

Who do you think brought home The Grammy home for Best New Artist? Just take a wild guess.I give you a clue she is from Portland, Oregon.  This years Grammy's featured this surprise winner who was hand picked by President Obama to play at his Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. Esperanza Spalding beat out the likes of Justin Bieber and Drake for this year's awards.

Esperanza a 26 year old singer, jazz bass player, and composer dropped her third  album "Chamber Music Society" in the summer of 2010.  Her performances for Stevie Wonder and Barack Obama along with her surprise win of a Grammy's Best New Artist has thrust this northwest girl to front of the music scene.

How you on twitter, but ain't got a Celly?

 

You got twitter popping, but you don't got that celly? WTF?!?! Big Sean of spoke on the situation about G.O.O.D music’s CEO not having a cell phone.

"Strictly e-mail, Man" said Big Sean about Kanye West and his phone phobia.  That's crazy one of the most influential people in music ain't got a phone.  How does this guy do what he needs to do? But I guess when you got news cameras and flip out interviews on The Today Show in heavy rotation you may not need a phone. That has to be the best excuse for not getting back to reporters. "I'm sorry, I can't reach Kanye West he doesn't have a phone".
