THE POWER OF
K
Beauty By Jeanne Morneau

Primera Miracle Seed Essence ($57, Peach and Lily)
https://www.peachandlily.com/products/primera-miracle-seed-essence
If the past few years have shown us anything, it’s that the appetite for K-beauty is insatiable. K beauty is already behind some of our favourite products and brought us oil cleansers, gel sleeping masks, cc and bb creams. The trends for 2016 are sure to be no less ingenious. Take a look for ideas and interesting products to add to your routine here. Clinical skincare is growing in popularity with many products and tools at home becoming more common. A Korean company called Midaskin has created topical botox to put on the market, the product is called BoLC A+. It’s the same as the botox you get at the doctors, but it has been altered just enough so it can be applied topically by you in your bathroom vs a needle at the office. All the while still being just as effective at reducing wrinkles and only gets better with continued use. LED light machines in the shape of a mask are being used to send wavelengths deep into your skin to increase collagen levels, reduce wrinkles, scars and hyperpigmentation and can be used in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Many types of essences are available and a new and interesting step in skincare with a growing number of types and brands to choose from like Iope, Laneige, and Peach and Lily among many others that soften, brighten, reduce breakouts, moisturize and even skin tone among a slew of other benefits.

These newer masks have new and improved abilities to clean your skin and are a lot of fun to use, with fizzy tingling carbonation or the fun of mixing a pot of rubbery face mask to give you a chuckle and get you glowing and hydrated.
Waterless gels, creams, moisturizers, serums and balms are also going to be seen more. It may seem unusual that water could be considered a bad thing, but apparently water based products steal your skin’s moisture by evaporating natural oils along with it.
BB cushions
The trend of next level hydration technology continues with the idea of aqua filling. The use of moisture binding products that help plump the skin is latest obsession with creams using things like Tremella Mushroom which can hold 500 times its weight in water.
Also still seen in K beauty makeup is the baby face look. Bright eyes, dewy skin, lightly blushed cheeks and a gradient pout. There is a lean towards creativity, using pastel liner rather than white for awake looking eyes and a fun pop of light colour is a great idea.
Rubber Masks
This is also where ombre lips come into play, whether using an actual ombre lipstick or using a few colours and a liner, the opportunities for getting creative are endless. Start with a sweet, youthful look and add your own touch of fun from there!
Korean

The newer masks including carbonated masks aka bubble masks and rubber masks are appearing along with existing sleep masks and sheet masks which are already being carried in mainstream North America at makeup
As for makeup, BB cushions will still be amazingly popular. Thankfully, the foundations and products are increasing in diversity in 2016.
www.sephora.com AmorePacific, it’s a Korean beauty superstore where you can shop haircare, makeup, and skincare from lines like Mamonde, Hanyul, Sulwhasoo, Laneige, and IOPE in one. Even better, the stores are designed like Sephora, with open floor plans and help yourself displays. It’s a great destination for stocking up on favorites and top sellers like Iope Air Cushion, Laneige Water Sleeping Mask and Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum and Korean exclusives to the store, like Laneige Two Tone Lipstick, for oneswipe ombré lips. https://www.peachandlily.com

the bongo club By Joshua Seibert Take five steps back, breathe deeply and be prepared for the next U.K. BRITISH PUNK/ROCK EXPLOSION. The Sex Pistols got it RIGHT when it comes to Anarchy in the U.K. and God Save the Queen, because if you don’t listen up, there’s no future for you. This group of Rude Ramone Avengers known as The Bongo Club are about to blow your minds with a fresh new take on where we’re all headed with this HOT GENRE of music. The only difference between these guys and THE WHO is that they haven’t SMASHED DRUM KITS for as many tours, my friends. While I was checking out Sam Ash up on Sunset Blvd, as I do, I came across these “blokes” and my head was immediately turned. It was clear to me that they had an energy about them and when they ended up being an incredible group, I jumped on “THE LIST” to check them out at the World Arts MUSEXPO. Every band killed it that night and let’s just say the wine was legit. Here’s what they had to say after the show...
Meeting your group in L.A. was a BLAST to say the least. I could tell from the start that each and every one of you had amazing talent. What do you guys like best about playing the Hollywood venues? Thanks a lot, the pleasure was ours. Where do we start? Hollywood is the Mecka of rock n’ roll, there’s just something in the air, you know? LA is such a vibrant city and it’s been a dream since childhood to come over and play. Apart from that, everybody we met was really professional and the venues were top class, great sound and fantastic rooms. As a band from Sweden, it must be interesting for you to adapt to different cities when touring. Where is your all time favorite city to play? It sure is, we love experiencing new cities. There’s nothing like waking up in a city and going to sleep in another. Life on the road is what we live for. Just choosing one city is a hard one, every city has its own charm. LA is definitely high up there but we’ve had some great nights all over Europe. Your group totally killed it at the WORLD ARTS MUSEXPO. What would you say was the best part about that night? It was a great night, it felt like it was quite an aggressive discharge from us, and just trying to make the most of the moment. People seemed to enjoy it and that’s what it’s all about for us. We’re not trying to change the world, we just want people to have a good time. It was a cool venue and a great crowd, so it’s sure going to be a gig to remember for a while! (This question is for Jesper (Lead Vocals & Guitar). If you could compare yourself to one iconic lead singer from a U.K. band, who would it be and why? Jesper: Having been brought up with my father being/making me a big Oasis fan, I’m going to have to say Liam Gallagher. He is a big inspiration to say the least. However, I’m pretty sure many people would compare me to whomever they like, so I’d say it’s up to anyone to decide, I just try to sing the best I can and hopefully people will like it. Over at the world famous culturally colital and ever Trend Privé Magazine 18
expansive ROLLING STONE magazine, they have a list of 100 greatest guitar players of all time from Hendrix, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana and Tom Petty as the list goes on. Who is your all time legendary axe god, Erik (Guitar)? Erik: Well, if you would have asked me this ten years ago, there would be no doubt about it: Slash from Guns n Roses was definitely my teenage idol! Today I have left that musical era and moved on though. To be really honest, I don’t care that much for all those guitar gods. I appreciate anyone who does their own thing and I try hard myself to reinvent the concept of riffing in order to add a fresh vibe to whatever music I play. Style is important and being a writer who’s come across some amazing designers, particularly in our catalog, like Saint Laurent, Michael Kors, Armani, and so many more, I can tell your band is legit. Care to tell our readers where each of you get your fashion inspiration? We used to be really inspired by the British mod culture, and I guess we still are, but right now we also try to keep it clean. You can’t go wrong with tight black jeans, a black t-shirt and a denim jacket. For Jonathan (Drums), I have some experience with some incredibly talented drummers in the music industry including the great Buddy Rich’s grandson and more and I thought your chops were sick. Tell us about your practice routines and how you warm up for a show. JONATHAN: Practice has always been important for me. I think it’s about 99 % practice and 1% talent. Playing and jamming with the band is even more important though. It does not really matter if you are a super skilled player who knows a lot of chops, if you’re not tight with your band. I don’t have any routines before I go on. I just like to chill with the boys and maybe knock down a couple of cold ones, then I’m ready to rock! For Fabman (Bass), when you started playing, all I could think about was how ridiculous your finger abilities are, man! I can imagine there isn’t much you can’t play. What’s your favorite style of music and
how do you like being such a technical player in the punk scene? FABMAN: Wow thanks, I haven’t heard that one before! I just try to build a solid foundation for the rest of the guys and try not to get in the way of the song, nor the melody. I haven’t thought that much about it, but it’s great to hear that you like it. Since I have a childish taste for fu**ing around and jumping of amplifiers on stage, I try not to play too much technical stuff and I could never pull off a solo! I appreciate all kinds of music, but if I have to choose one, I must say really intense rock’n’roll straight from the heart. The songs that give you both a punch in the face and then holds you close for a cuddle and a kiss! For Mattias (Management), as a manager I’m sure you know a little something extra about the group that they couldn’t describe about themselves. Please tell our readers what you find to be the greatest aspect of “The Bongo Club” and why you see them going big soon? MATTIAS: I gotta point out their work ethics. I also think that is what differs them from other acts, and the reason things are happening. Talent is one thing, but there are a lot of talents out there, but not that many will spend 20 hours in rehearsal every week of every month and still jump every chance to play live no matter the circumstances, take the time to listen in on workshops and presentations etc, but they do. They really live with the band 24/7. Plus, they are all really charming and fun to be around. Most of the times. As we finish up here, guys, I just want to say thanks for the good vibes and great personalities! Mind to tell our readers where you’re next and what you’re looking forward to for the rest of 2016? At the moment we’re writing material for the next album. We don’t know exactly when it’s going to be recorded, but when it is, we’re gonna make sure everybody knows about it. As for now, we don’t have plans for coming back to the US but we hope it’s not gonna be too long. We’ll keep playing as long as people want to see us, and so far, people seem to do.

The award was presented to him by Global Exchange, which is an international NGO based in San Francisco, California. Franti’s humanitarian work gives him the inspiration for his music with his albums and has motivated him to work with the charitable cause Ubuntu Education Fund, compelled him to promote Vegan diet and promoted being barefoot.
Michael Franti’s advocacy for peace in the Middle East and the humanitarian crisis caused by war, prompted him to create the film ‘I Know I’m Not Alone’. Franti chose to embark on a three-week trek with friends to see first-hand of what the war had done to the people who live in war-torn areas of Iraq, Palestinian territories and Israel.

udrey Hepburn walked roads and set the stages while telling stories dreamers only dreamed. In the Hollywood Glam era, life was just as sophisticated and elegant as the jewelry these angels wore. Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, among the greatest icons to grace our presence with sagacity, astuteness and compassion, were a part of a time when “BEAUTY SPOKE FOR ITSELF”. The LATIN word for beauty, “pulchritude”, doesn’t quite describe the scene without the smiles though, does it? Audrey Hepburn needed not a word from anyone else as her career was a pillar of expression while every breath taking she took on screen and off changed the lives of all us or at least those that know what it means to truly be engaged. Now we can all agree that Vanessa Hudgens turned our heads with her stare, voice and attitude in Broadway’s “GIGI” and she’ll certainly never go swiftly “out of style”, but this was when Audrey Hepburn made her mark. It only took one letter from American Film Director William Wyler to change the course of history leading her to an iconic role in “Roman Holiday”. Just before this, Hepburn established her memorable personality, humor and charm making her way into the hearts of so many of her loved co-stars.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sabrina, Funny Face, Charade, A Woman Rebel, and Song of Love are historic pieces of our cinematic culture. There practically isn’t a woman in the entertainment industry or anywhere else, for that matter, who hasn’t been inspired by this “My Fair Lady” golden jewel. From legendary Directors such as Steve Donan, Blake Edwards and Gene Cukor, Audrey encapsulated what it meant to be a theater actress. She made an impact on screen with her unique qualities filled with an individualism most of us will never know or experience. If you have the spirit for good and willingness to make an impact, you’ll be able to relate to the kindness and humility of this woman.
Au dr e y -t h e Hu man itar ian... “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”
In 1954 Audrey won the Oscar for Best Actress in “Roman Holiday” and went on to an impressively historical list of awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Grammy Award for Spoken Word, Jena Hersholt Humanitarian, Golden Globe Cecil D. Amille and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, among so many others. In 1961 she made us laugh with Johnny Carson in “What’s My Line” and blitzed Gary Cooper at the “Friars Club Roast” the same year. Magnificently enough, all of these were just a precursor to some of her most spirit-filled impressions.
She said: “There cannot be enough witnesses. If I can be one more and speak up for one child, it is worthwhile”, lending a hand to 20 countries around the globe. In 1997 the Audrey Hepburn Children’s fund received the UNICEF GOLD medallion of Honor.
At UNICEF, she became a “Good Will Ambassador” alongside of being such a marvelous Academy Award winning actress. Certainly not a stranger to the struggles of this world, Hepburn made it a priority to embark on journeys to places where so many have met desolation, poverty and hunger.
Hepburn continued to strive against the odds of world`s inequality and much like the current pursuits of the powerful women leaders of today, she rises above the odds. Then at her home in Tolochenaz, near Lausanne, Switzerland, the blessed Audrey passed away from colon cancer at 63. She will be remembered in our hearts and souls forever.
It was during her last trip to Somalia that was emotionally revealing to her. “There’s nothing left,” Audrey said. “The cattle are dead, the crops are gone, and whatever there was has been looted. Anarchy. It’s a country without a government”, she noted.
“ For be aut i f u l e y e s, lo ok for t h e g o od i n ot h e r s; for be aut i f u l li p s, sp e ak on ly w or ds of k i n dn e ss; an d for p oise, walk w it h t h e k n ow le d g e t hat y o u ar e n e v e r alon e. “ audre y he p burn w w w.audre y he p burn.com

Myra: If you weren’t a model, which other role would you take? Alexandra: If I weren`t a model, I would have loved to become a designer. I love everything that is beautiful and elegant. Myra: Has anyone in particular encouraged, or inspired you... Maybe a photographer, a stylist, or maybe another model? Alexandra: Yes, Georgio Barbieri, my booker, who believed in me from the start and was always by my side.
INTERVIEW WITH ALEXANDRA TINTISAN by Myra Postolache Alexandra Tintisan is a Romanian supermodel who left her country and loved ones at the age of 18 to pursue a modeling career. During this hard-working and difficult journey, she learned a lot and after many years of being gone, she feels the need for the love that she once used to get from her own family. Although it hasn`t been an easy transition and journey, she would not trade it for anything. Myra: How old were you when everything started happening? Alexandra: Fourteen years old. Myra: When did you shoot your first big fashion editorial? Who was the photographer? Alexandra: Five years ago with Marco Glaviano, who actaully discovered me. The shooting was done in Paris and it was very fashionable. Myra: Who or what is the most important person or thing in your life? Alexandra: My dog, because he is a
person but in a different form. Myra: Do you feel like there is more to discover about yourself? Alexandra: Sometimes. Myra: Do you ever get anxious before going to a photo-shoot? Alexandra: Yes, like every model. I always try to make conversation, smile and be nice with the people around me, that way they transmit the same positive energy and the shoot will end up wonderful and everybody ends up happy with the final result.
Myra: What one piece of advice would you offer to a teenager aspiring to model? What about to someone your age who`s trying to get into the modeling game? Alexandra: For a young person who wants to be model, I can only wish them success and to remember that if they really want something, they`ll get it. Whenever you truly want something, there`s always a way and it will come true. As for a person my age, self-confidence is what matters, not only in being great at what you`re doing (modeling), but also in everyday life and being the best person you can be.
Myra: How has your knowledge of what being a model has changed from when you first started? Alexandra: The experience helped me grow, learn and step by step perfect myself. Myra: Name an unforgettable set that you’ve been on? Worst or best... Alexandra: Shooting in Puglia was the best for me. I can’t remember having a bad photo-shoot. Another great photo-shoot that I really loved, was for Trend Privé Magazine with Myra, Valeria and Douglas. They are extremely talented and professional people that now are very dear to my heart. Together we managed to do a really good job.

115 years elapsed between emotions, people and unique situations. A time lived in the beautiful Dolce Vita with all the jet set of celebrities to act as viewers and actors. A magical place, a “hidden cove”, as mentioned by Guy de Maupassant in his La Vie Errante, a sweet haven for Hollywood of the golden years, a theatrical setting for Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, a special catwalk for Rita Hayworth and Clark Gable, Ava Gardner and Humphrey Bogart, and then you get the Stars of today who have loved and continue to stay in or come back for the collective imagination and the true essence of the Dolce Vita, Italy which remains in everyone`s heart.

The cocktail was served in front of the Bar Chuflay at the Splendido Mare while the evening continued with a dinner in the restaurant La Terrazza, where the chef Corrado Corti has prepared a gourmet buffet. Live music, vintage motorcycles, photos and antiques including beautiful rooms have welcomed the guests in a fifties set. An unforgettable story, the moon on the sea, the lighted bay and the smell of summer that is coming, all were present at Belmond Hotel Splendido. Not to mention, this was a magic and beautiful party.

LQuote: “Obviously, season 6 of NBC’s “The Voice” was a huge opportunity for you. How was that feeling during that time?” James Cavern: “I really had no real expectations for the experience. I probably should have gone into it with a different attitude but honestly shows like that really never caught my interest. The fact that I made it on to the show was hilarious to me! Obviously it was totally appreciated but my conception of that whole world was kind of like “American Idol” which for me is a show I couldn’t stand. It was mainly due to people tuning in to see someone suck or gets destroyed basically. “The Voice” does have a different format which isn’t like that one at all which is awesome but even still when you are a musician and you’re playing shows, you almost kind of going thru the trenches so I don’t need to sell out or do any of that shit for attention. At the end of the day it was an amazing experience where I got to make some solid connections in the music industry along with some great friends. All the people and contestants on that show are all amazing in their own right ya know and it kind of felt like a camp experience.”
JAMES CAVERN { Interview }
b y L u t h e r L e w i s / L- Q u o t e Photos by Dennis Brodsky LQuote: Was “Broken Heart” expected to be on your “Lost & Found EP” when it was released? James Cavern: “My indiegogo campaign that was launched has all the information and everything can be found on there. I also announced a free block party show a while back that we were all very excited to do. The EP dropped on March 19th and it is doing very well.” LQuote: “Is “Broken Heart” based on a true story?” If so, is it something you dealt with recently or is it something more past related?” James Cavern: “Oh yeah, absolutely! I was in a few relationships thru out my life so it wasn’t about any specific relationship in particular. I think more than anything in today’s day in age with technology and how accessible things are with texting and talking to people, I feel like people in general have a greater sense of not fear but paranoia regarding a significant other possibly cheating on you. That’s more so what the aim of the song is about. LQuote: “Within the visual made for “Broken Heart”, is that your band or are they all individual artists perse within your team?” James Cavern: “That’s definitely my band!” LQuote: “I see you live in Sacramento California but are you originally from London?” James Cavern: “I was born and raised in England. I was born in Manchester and raised in London and I lived there until I was 14 years. Then after my parents wanted me to move over to California cause the rest of the family was over here as well. It was a long process before finally moving here.” Trend Privé Magazine 44
LQuote: “To back track a bit, what can all the fans that haven’t heard the EP as of yet expect from checking it out?” James Cavern: “They can expect a more mature sound. Not just with instruments but lyrically and overall maturity. I really focused this year on just writing good songs and the basics of song writing. I wasn’t trying to be flashy. I wasn’t trying to be poetic or whimsical. The lyrics are very blunt. I’m not finding another way of saying ‘I hate you’. If I hate you then I will just say ‘I hate you’. I feel when you write lyrics that are so literal in that sense; it makes it that much easier to connect. I’m a big fan of Bill Withers. His music is extremely simple and to the point. I think in many ways that is what makes it so profound. That’s why it resonates with a lot of people. So a lot more mature, a lot more personal and much more of a thought process behind the songs and content which is something I really thought about for a while. I am very excited for people to hear it and ‘Broken Heart” has been doing very well. I knew that record would set the bar for people on what to expect and that song definitely did that. It’s solid; it’s relatable and has moments of being technical in some ways too.” LQuote: “In conjunction with the EP, is there a tour you’ve been currently on right now?” James Cavern: “So basically my game plan for the year, after my campaign finished, was to focus on fulfilling all of the perks that were offered and this past May I was out Sacramento putting on a big concert in the park. It was a huge success and included a free live series of events the opening night. This year I really want to focus on the West Coast. I’ve been on a couple national tours and as you probably know they can be really be tiring due to the driving and I am not on a level yet where I am in front of 100+ ppl a night consistently as that can be very draining. It’s almost at a humbling point where I need to work on my shit and come back hard ya know. My experience on “The Voice” was also humbling too. This year I plan on just tackling the West Coast so I’ll be driving up and down to Seattle and down to San Diego and really just trying to work the Coast cause with technology now if you do well with one Coast then it will leak over cause of the internet when you have really good content you’re pushing, then it’ll spread. So hopefully by working hard on one coast I’ll be able to build a platform that will then allow me to do specific hot spots in New York and Nashville which are places that I’ve played before and enjoy, Philadelphia is another! I want to be more concise with my trips instead of just being all over.” LQuote: “Your sound is incredible man… you have like a R-n-B, Soul type sound that is so unique and not similar to what people are probably use to hearing
when it comes to the normal cliché stuff. I was just amazed and not by just the word of mouth on hearing about you but then actually listening to you and thinking to myself… this dude is the truth; you know what I’m saying?!” James Cavern: “I really, really appreciate that, which means a lot seriously! I think as an artist you are of course your biggest critic so you saying that is awesome! For me, subconsciously I may feel that way but 80% of the time I don’t feel that way at all so hearing it is a nice thing. It’s kind of who I am and definitely not a front. I try and stay humble because when you are humble you’re hungry and when you’re hungry you’re still going to grind. I never want to get to a point where I am certainly not completely comfortable. Of course stability and comfort-ability is a good thing but creatively if I am not pushing myself to be better or if there isn’t anything out there that’s pushing me then I won’t be happy.” LQuote: “I got a chance to catch you live via Facebook interacting with the fans and I noticed… not only are you really good artistically but you also educate and touch on the business aspect of the industry as well.” James Cavern: “Yeah! I definitely try to and I think sometimes it all depends on who you’re talking to. Sometimes your peers may think “who do you think you are giving advice” however when I give advice quote unquote, it’s not coming from a standpoint of me knowing everything, I just know what works best for me. If I can share that information and it works for you then awesome and if it doesn’t then I don’t really give a shit! At the end of the day in this music industry, as saturated as it is, it doesn’t really fucking matter. There are so many different types of musicians out here who are very talented, there is no real one way. All you can do and as cliché as it sounds, all you can do is be yourself ya know. As long as you’re being yourself, obviously learn from other people and take from what you agree with whatever you don’t agree with leave it out, and what you do take, just be authentic. People can have subconscious radar for other people who are not authentic. Whether it comes up or not, you can feel it in the music especially when you are at
a show. You can feel if someone is for real or not and if they are just playing music because they like to play music. I’ve been doing it long enough now and I’ve been around enough people to know and feel the difference most of the time. I don’t claim to be perfect at all but in a general sense you can definitely feel if someone is real or not, ya know?” LQuote: “What has been your most memorable fan experience as an artist that really resonated with you which became unforgettable, whether it was via social media or at a show?” James Cavern: “I would have to say most recently, and I posted a picture of it on my Instagram, I walked into a gig and there was a spray paint on canvas picture of me. I was just blown away! I didn’t expect it and this is coming off 2 days before that well renowned artist Gara Gaboldy did a picture of me and of course he’s a good friend. I felt that was awesome because he is a very busy dude. To walk into a gig and not expect that or anything is amazing. On top of that I also had an artist who came up to me and said “Hey man, I just wanted you to know that “Broken Heart” really helped me through some shit and I‘ve been listening to it nonstop. I absolutely love the video and just felt compelled to do this piece”. For my art to inspire more art is such a beautiful feeling and I really hope to get that feeling more and more!” LQuote: “What would be your # 1 dream collaboration?” James Cavern: “I would have to say Bruno Mars but at the same time you have to be realistic in a sense that vocally he’s a fucking beast. I’m a decent singer but you gotta do what’s best for the song. To be completely honest though I feel what really comes to mind is J. Cole. I love J. Cole’s story and I think he’s a real person. I really love his music and lyrics too. He’s a great artist and one main reason of why he really resonates with me is because I watched, and I’m sure most of us have seen Dave Chappell’s “Block Party”, and I’m not sure if people know this but he is in that crowd. There are multiple shots where they’re panning the crowd and J. Cole is in the front. I watched it recently a few months ago and I noticed it. I can totally relate to what he’s probably thinking and he just had this look on his face like “I’m
gonna fuc*&ing do this s**it!” Know what I mean and now he is doing it which is just awesome! That’s a little nugget right there for some people if they don’t know! For me I don’t know how many times I’ve been at shows watching the stage and have been in awe. Just to get those feelings, there is nothing like it. Nobody knew who he was during that time or even had a clue or idea! Little did anyone know around him at that time that he would become such a huge prolific artist and so real at that, so I would definitely say J. Cole. Even Bruno Mars for me has laid out a blueprint and foundation that I hope to follow in a sense. He was a writer who wrote songs for people for a very long time. Then I am sure once he started focusing on his own shit he then put it out. I’m not saying he was filthy rich once he started releasing his own shit but he was at least making money from his music ya know. For me when you go into branding your own music, if it’s coming from a place where you have to make music to like literally pay rent then I think sometimes that can add a certain level of pressure. That can either help you or hurt you depending on who you are. Some people I can see it helping and for me I’d rather make music whereas I am in the mind space of making it because I genuinely love making music. Not necessarily because, I’m like “I’m gonna write this song because I need a new TV” ya know. That’s what other shit is for such as writing music for other people or me collaborating, doing session work, or maybe planning events for people. That’s where that would come from but when it comes to my music when I’m singing words, I wanna connect with people and I want it to come from a place of pureness in a sense because that’s how I feel and what I went through. Not necessarily cause I need whatever. LQuote: “What is currently in James Cavern’s playlist of music?” Give me about two to three different artists that you are vibing to right now…” James Cavern: “It would have to be Emily Kate. She an absolute beast! What I love about her, and I got to actually see her recently in Oakland, she’s got that perfect balance of being a musician. Her music is good enough to guess a bunch of musicians out, you know what I mean. If you’re a musician and you play, you can point out what tunes she’s performing and be like “oh
shit that’s really cool what she did right there and right here”. There is a lot of technical shit that she does which makes it very entertaining for me as a musician. It also isn’t something that the average music listener wouldn’t be able to figure out. It wouldn’t fly over their head either ya know? An average music listener at the end of the day, whether they know what keys they’re going to or what they did or the type of keys that are there, they can still feel it, you know what I mean?” She has a very strong groove and more than anything she represents the modern day musician. She is independent and does everything herself when it comes to touring, bookings probably which I am sure she has help, but she isn’t signed and definitely could be signed! I think in many ways she is a very beautiful example of the music landscape as it is right now, and because of the internet plus technology that’s available to us, the pie is bigger so to speak. I mean you still have to work hard to get a piece of it ya know. She is being very smart while still enjoying what she does right now. Ultimately, who knows where it can grow to and if it gets to a point where she gets offered a really good deal that includes artistic freedom. I don’t see why she wouldn’t do it. That’s definitely the dream. She obviously knows herself, her music well enough and knows what her fans like; she definitely doesn’t need a label. A label in many ways would dilute her image and she wouldn’t be that home musician that most people like her as.
I also like Tingsek. He’s a guy who I saw open up for Allen Stone and of course Allen Stone is someone I enjoy listening to as well. His new record “Radius” is dope. The Armstrong Group is too. Tingsek is one who partly produced that record and I think it’s awesome! When he opened up for Allen Stone, I saw how beautiful their relationship really is and got to see the respect they have between each other. Tingsek himself, in his own right, in his personal music is brilliant. I definitely have to say the elements remind me of D’Angelo and that is also another easy one right, D’Angelo! For someone like him who has been out for as long as he has with a great fan base, he will always put out what he wants whether people like it or not. At this point who really gives a shit, he is D’Angelo! That’s the beautiful part for these artists who have been out for as long as he has. He can put something out and he’ll be fine because of his core fans. I think there is definitely a certain level of compromise that you must do to kind of get your foot in the door, whether you approve of it or not. You’re not gonna completely change who you are or compromise who you are but I mean to a certain degree you gotta know what works. You can’t come out with whatever. The Beatles first record wouldn’t have been “Rubber Soul” or any of that weird shit that they did as their first shit was all poppy. John Marin is a great example, especially his older shit predominately his early shit compared to his later shit. There’s a lesson to be learned from everyone but at the end of the day you gotta do what works for you. You have to at least see and acknowledge the blueprint in what’s working for other people.” LQuote: “Did you always feel like you were destined for the music when you were very young?” James Cavern: “No! Hahaha… I wanted to be a soccer player.
In England I took a music class every year so I was exposed to music at an early age. My sister loves music and my family loves music so I grew up watching music but throughout school I gravitated more towards sports. From a young age it was always soccer I gravitated towards and honestly it had a lot to do with the fact that the school I went to was kind of white dominated. So being the only Asian kid, I was picked on and bullied a lot. When you’re a kid it just seems more from not knowing ya know. I don’t think they were necessarily racist but more so of just not knowing. So after being picked on I soon then was accepted because I was really good at soccer. It was something I gravitated towards because I had that connection to it prior to coming to America. After graduating from high school and during the start of college I wasn’t really playing sports too much. With the little extra time I had, I decided to buy a guitar from a guitar center and the rest is history. I didn’t expect anything out of it but it was weird. I’d say it kind of braved the slight insecurity in me because when I started playing, I was like 20 or 21 whereas most kids when they start to play it’s at a young age, maybe at the age of 10 or whatever. Obviously, I felt really behind. For the first 2 or 3 years, the guitar was the first thing I touched and the last thing I touched every day. The other insecurity comes from, when talking to a guitarist like my age and you can’t help but to be amazed when they tell you that they started at like the age of 6, and knowing I did at the age of 20, thinking I must suck and have a long ways to go! At the same time though, there is something to be said about feeling music. I don’t know from hearing or half the time what key I’m in which is stuff that I should know and learn, which is all a part of my craft, but there is just something of being able to feel it. I can drop into any environment and feel what’s going on unless it’s like really crazy fucking intricate shit, then I would just be lost. Even still I’d still be able to figure out what notes are working and that’s all based off your ear, know what I mean? Some people are like that and some people are not. I know some people who are amazing musicians but they can’t play with you unless you tell them what key you’re in. They don’t know what scale to play and for some reason they can’t hear and that to me is really odd. Again, it just boils down to doing what works for you. Music, at the end of the day, is a feeling and it’s something that people feel as a vibration and energy. If you are putting out good energy then you cannot go wrong ya know.” LQuote: “What is the best advice that you can give somebody following their dream or purpose in life, whether it’s music or any profession, as they are moving towards that aspiration?” James Cavern: “I would say don’t live in regret. Always find out. I think in today’s day in age, more often than not, people are choosing the safe, comfortable route which is totally understandable. If you’re doing it because you are afraid then you are going to live in regret and regret is one of the worst ways to live. I wanna be the person where when a little kid comes up to me when I am older and say’s “What did you wanna be when you were a kid?”… I wanted to be doing what I wanted to be doing. I just think regret in general is something that most people should never live in because they enjoy the stability, safety and comfort. Here’s the thing, if you have a passion and it’s all you think about and it’s all you wanna do, you’d be lying to yourself if you didn’t even try. You might be good at it and might not be but at least you’ll know and I think knowing is everything. You can always talk about if you did this or if you did that but at the end of the day, what’s stopping you from trying? If you try and you fail, that’s okay but it’s not a true failure or defeat unless you don’t learn anything from it. If you fail or if you were defeated then you learned something, I would hope! If you didn’t learn anything then you’re stuck around defeat ya know. Every situation has something you can learn from, whether it’s defeat or failure and when you come across shit like that, which I have, you’re left with a few choices. Either it’s you or figure out what you did wrong, then fix it or just give up. That is always fine too if you’ve realized that “fuck, I don’t wanna do this anymore cause it just doesn’t make me feel good” which is just as important. I truly think that our passion and our job and our relationships are all relative dude. Just think about how many relationships people are in where they’re together for like 4 years and then they break up but realize that it should have been over like 2 years ago. Neither one of them had the balls or courage to admit that cause they like their comfort zone. Now you could have had 2 years where you could have been doing something else! I think it’s always important to ask yourself, and I ask myself weekly “is this something I wanna do?” I am always open to the thought that I might say one day “I don’t wanna do this anymore” ya know. The point is to ask myself to remind myself and check if I am really doing this for the right reasons or if I’m not. So don’t ever live in regret. Always know. Always find out.”

Lenny Kravitz Regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20-year musical career, one which revels in the rich influences of ’60s and ’70s soul, rock and funk. Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist have resonated through ten studio albums into a timeless catalog. He has won four consecutive GRAMMY Awards, setting a record for the most wins in the “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” category. Lenny Kravitz’s appeal has also been recognized by his peers; his collaborative efforts are as varied as his own influences, having worked with Madonna, Drake, Aerosmith, Jay-Z, Mick Jagger, Miguel, and Alicia Keys. His tenth studio album Strut was released in September 2014 via Roxie Records/ Kobalt Label Services. The album is a real rock & roll record that hits hard rhythmically and looks back on the 1970’s metropolis of funky after-hours grooves and soulful hooks. The album was named one of Rolling Stone’s Top Albums of 2014 and includes such standout titles as “New York City,” “I Never Want to Let You Down” and “She’s a Beast.” Having sold over 38 million albums worldwide, Lenny Kravitz’s musical success has afforded him many opportunities to fulfill his creative vision beyond the recording industry. Amongst his other endeavors, Kravitz has appeared in a supporting role in the critically-acclaimed film Precious, and the box office smash film The Hunger Games, as Cinna. He reprised this role in the second film which was released in Fall 2013. Lenny was also seen in Lee Daniels’ The Butler (The Weinstein Company) alongside Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey. Next up, Kravitz will be guest-starring in Season 2 of the new hit TV series Empire alongside Alicia Keys, Chris Rock, and others.

Monophonics “One of the best live soul bands I have ever seen!” – Al Bell (Record producer, songwriter, executive, and co-owner of legendary Stax Records) Raised amid the rich musical culture and history of the San Francisco Bay Area, Monophonics proudly carry the torch through the generations into today’s musical landscape. Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as “Psychedelic Soul.” The 2012 release of Monophonics last album In Your Brain saw the band pulling influences from such acts as early Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone and the The Temptation’s Norman Whitfield produced records. With the new album, Sound of Sinning (April 1, 2015 on Transistor Sound Records), the band has grown in all areas of record making and felt a need to explore other important influences. While the group has come to cherish these inspirations, with Sound of Sinning they started venturing beyond, to the groups that were inspiring those soul acts to embrace the psychedelic sound of the 60’s and 70’s. Bands such as The Zombies, The Beatles, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Even with the experimentation of new musical territory, they display the sound that people know and love about Monophonics. Touching on Northern soul, doo-wop, rock and roll, Psych pop, and cinematic music, Monophonics show off their diversity while remaining true to their roots. Overall it’s heartfelt music and old school vibes, without losing sight of the present. This is music steeped in that timeless feeling when people could write and produce songs that you could listen to over and over again. Sound of Sinning was produced by Kelly Finnigan & Ian McDonald and recorded on an old Tascam eight-track 1/4” tape machine at Transistor Sound Studios in San Rafael, CA. Monophonics is Austin Bohlman (Drums), Myles O’Mahony (Bass/Background Vocals), Ian McDonald (Guitar/Background Vocals), Ryan Scott (Trumpet/ Back- ground Vocals/Percussion) & Kelly Finnigan (Keys/Lead Vocals) along with a rotating 2nd horn usually filled by Nadav Nirenberg (Trombone) from Ikebe Shakedown and Breakdown Brass.

Walk The Moon “We’re venturing into unmarked regions of the map with these songs,” says guitarist Eli Maiman, “but we’re leaving breadcrumbs along the way so people can follow us.” WALK THE MOON’s new album, ‘TALKING IS HARD’, is a bold statement from the band known for their blissful, quirky brand of rock and roll. Fueled by years on the road and now emerging from months in the studio, WALK THE MOON are clearly unafraid to bear their hearts and their ambition. Formed in Cincinnati by singer/keyboardist Nicholas Petricca, WALK THE MOON built up a devoted following on the strength of their ecstatic live show and their undeniably infectious single “Anna Sun.” A relentless touring machine with an ever-snowballing family of fans, the band quickly graduated from Ohio club scene favorites to an international force to be reckoned with. They hit the late-night TV circuit with performances on Letterman, Fallon, Conan, and Carson, played for massive crowds at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and joined the likes of fun., Pink, Panic! At The Disco, and Fitz and the Tantrums on the road in the US, UK, and Europe. In concert, it’s clear that WALK THE MOON’s live show is not a spectator sport. Instead, it’s an interactive celebration of life and love, a communal commitment to joy and living in the moment. Onstage, Petricca leads audiences in a mass exorcism of the things that bring them down, casting out the demons of doubt and insecurity with hands raised to the sky. But when the band finished touring in support of their self-titled 2012 RCA debut, Petricca found something entirely new on his hands: time.

The Struts Before even releasing their first album, U.K.-bred four-piece The Struts opened for The Rolling Stones in front of a crowd of 80,000 in Paris, got hand-picked by Mötley Crüe to serve as the supporting act for their four last-ever performances, and toured the U.S. on a string of sold-out shows that demanded the band move up to bigger venues to accommodate their fast-growing fanbase. Now with their full-length debut Everybody Wants, lead vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies reveal the supreme mix of massive riffs and powerfully catchy melodies that’s already slain so many adoring audiences around the globe. “Every time we go into the studio we just want to channel exactly what we’re all about onstage—something big, fun, unapologetic, rock & roll,” says Spiller. “We love a song that makes everybody sing along, and touring quite extensively over the past few years has given us a lot of inspiration to bring that kind of energy to our album.” The follow-up to Have You Heard—a 2015 EP whose lead single “Could Have Been Me” hit #1 on Spotify’s viral chart, earned more than 2.5 million Vevo/YouTube views, and shot to the top 5 on Modern Rock radio charts— Everybody Wants unleashes anthem after arena-ready anthem. Pairing up with producers like Gregg Alexander (former frontman for New Radicals) and Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Mick Jagger) and recording in such farflung locales as a refurbished London church and a studio in the Spanish region of Andalucía, The Struts prove the iconic power that’s prompted Yahoo Music to name them “one of the most exciting and electric performers in rock today” and MTV to proclaim the band “well on their way to bringing rock & roll back to the forefront.” Retrieved from http://www.thestruts.com Images by Adina Doria

The Joy Formidable Sought-after Welsh rock trio The Joy Formidable are the latest act to sign to Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records. The label will release the band’s full- length debut in early 2011. The Joy Formidable’s eight-song EP “A Balloon Called Moaning” has won them critical praise from a variety of outlets, including the NME, who have consistently raved about the band’s style of “grungey pop [that] is sure to win over swathes of converts.” SPIN called the release “ambitious,” noting: “drenched in fuzzy bass, propelled by...driving percussion… the album transforms ear-stabbing reverb into something pretty, airy, girly and sometimes dark.” The New York Times’ Jon Pareles praised the songs’ “cryptic lyrics that glint with urgency,” and said that “the music regenerates the turbulent haze of 1990s rock, but it’s less tormented and more anthemic, confident of the pop structures at its core.” The Joy Formidable will hit the road for a headlining North American tour beginning on November 3rd in Toronto, Ontario. Prior to that, the band will headline the Emerge NME Radar tour in September and October, making stops at various venues throughout the UK. Currently the band is on the road in Australia with acclaimed bands The Temper Trap and Passion Pit. Headlining tour dates below. The Joy Formidable was conceived by longtime friends Ritzy Bryan and Rhydian Dafydd when they were both students in Wales. After they relocated to London and brought in drummer Matt Thomas, they got down to writing material for their upcoming debut album.

Ziggy Marley The oldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and his wife Rita, Ziggy Marley was the natural heir to the throne left vacant by his father’s untimely death in 1981. Along with backing band the Melody Makers, a unit comprising his brothers and sisters, he successfully carried on the tradition of communicating the music’s message to a growing global audience, even scoring a U.S. Top 40 single in the process - a claim neither of his parents could make. Born David Marley in Kingston, Jamaica on October 17, 1968, he received guitar and drum lessons from his father, and began sitting in on Wailers recording sessions at the age of ten. In 1979, Ziggy, his sister Cedella, brother Stephen, and half-sister Sharon all joined Bob in the studio to record the single “Children Playing in the Streets.” Christened the Melody Makers, the four siblings continued playing together at family events, and even performed at their father’s state funeral. Marley was not even 17 when he and the Melody Makers issued their EMI debut LP, Play the Game Right. The burdens of becoming a second-generation star weighed heavily on the youth - who looked and sounded almost eerily like his father - and he allowed the record and its 1986 follow-up, Hey World!, to veer closely toward pop music, resulting in derision from reggae purists. Poor sales, combined with EMI’s public desire to market Ziggy Marley as a solo act, prompted Marley & the Melody Makers to jump to the Virgin label, where they entered the studio to record their masterpiece, 1988’s Conscious Party. Produced by Talking Heads’ Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, the album was both a critical and commercial smash, with the single “Tomorrow People” reaching number 39 on the pop charts. The follow-up, 1989’s One Bright Day, continued the Melody Makers’ artistic growth; it was also their best-selling effort to date, cracking the Top 20 and, like its predecessor, winning a Grammy.

Chef Morimoto & Green Day by Adrielyn Christi Nestled in the heart of the wine country of California, Napa has an endless amount of culture to dive into. Although known for their vast supply of award-winning wineries and remarkable cuisine that are renown around the world, and for the past few years it’s been home to BottleRock Napa Valley; a family-friendly music, arts, food and wine festival. Started in 2013, with tickets selling out in a matter of days, the BottleRock Napa Valley festival has become one of the most coveted festivals to attend in Northern California. Slowly, it has gained traction by some of the biggest names in the music industry, wanting to perform on the 4 of 5 stages throughout the grounds. This year BottleRock hosted Florence and the Machine, Stevie Wonder and The Red Hot Chili Peppers as the headliners. But that was just a portion of the hottest acts in music, others being Lenny Kravitz, Andy Grammer, Death Cab For Cutie, Iration, The Lumineers, X Ambassadors and many more took to the stages for the fans to hear their favorite tunes. Unlike a few other similar festivals, BottleRock Napa Valley is family-friendly, where a family zone was established with jam sessions, fun hairdos, games and other kid-friendly activities, along with services for babies and parents. Foodies alike will love what this multifarious event has to offer for the palate. There are specific sections of the festival that option for both vegans and meat lovers. From the “3rd Street Entrance” the selection of food varies from selected vendors such as ‘Bowl’D Acai’ to ‘Kara’s Cupcakes’ (where you’ll find an assortment of yummy vegan cupcakes). At the “Lagunitas Stage” there’s a selection of ‘Lagunita’s Brewing Co’ to ‘Sage Vegan Bistro’. Star chefs — including Gordon Ramsay, Tyler Florence and Masaharu Morimoto — will appear on the culinary stage for presentations alongside popular musicians, entertainers, athletes and other celebrities.

Gordon Ramsay by Adrielyn Christi The three-day music festival in downtown Napa, California, fuses music, food, wine and beer. Williams-Sonoma hosted their own culinary stage which featured star chefs that were paired with musicians, entertainers and celebrities for culinary-infused antics. Chef Gordon Ramsay, Masaharu Morimoto and Tyler Florence were the star chef ’s for the event. If wine is your vice, then you will not be disappointed with the “Crush Pad Wine Garden” where they featured wine from each of BottleRock 25 Napa Valley winery partners. In addition to music, food and wine, art was another major part of BottleRock Napa. The grounds of the festival were filled with one-of-a-kind installations that world-class muralists and sculpture artists brought to life. “Silent Disco’s” have been soaring in cities such as New York and Chicago, and for the second year BottleRock Napa Valley brought this phenomenon to the festival with Spritzer Silent Disco. It featured 2 channels of sublime “HUSHcast” Silent Disco, with music by some of the Bay Area’s finest DJs. If you aren’t familiar with silent disco’s; picture individuals in one vast space, all with headphones, each dancing to their own choice of music. Now, that is a sight to be seen. As you can tell, BottleRock Napa Valley has so much to offer and this is fair to give you a visual of what happens every year right in the heart of downtown Napa, California. This is an event that has to be experienced.

We had the opportunity to shoot with this vibrant band in Los Angeles and style Savannah with the amazing Nasty Gal clothing. The location of the shoot was at a loft in the industrial district of downtown L.A. owned by Johnny White. The loft was the location due to its large open space that had several different rooms with a bohemian, eclectic feel and interiors to match.

Adrielyn: How did you meet Alex, Eian, and Brennan?
Adrielyn: So, Brandon and Savannah, tell me, how did ‘The Heirs’ come about?
Adrielyn: I’m sure you’ve heard by now, that the iconic Prince passed away recently. Tell me how and if he played any role in your musical inspiration?
B&S: We’ve just always loved music and music has always been a part of us growing up. We grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac, so it was fitting that we created our own brand of music.
B&S: We’ve all been friends growing up, so it was just easy to start and create our sound with them.
The Heirs: We were saddened by the news of him passing and yes, we grew up listening to him. He had a big role musically with us.
To hear and see more of The Heirs interview and to see their first single “Alright Goodnight” off their upcoming EP, please head to our YouTube page. The EP “Ecliptic” proclaims the group’s formal electronics, sweeping keys, and a handclap-driven beat on the first single “Alright Goodnight” is available for download on iTunes.

A warm summer evening, the moon arises from the silent sea, while the sun disappears behind dry and rocky hills. Dusty roads take us along colorful fields with grain and wild flowers. A soft evening breeze awakes the village, which seemed to be a ghost town during the warm afternoon hours. Twinkling lights, terraces fill up, the sound of a Vespa passing by, a car that horns without any understandable reason.

Interview with
Iration By Adrielyn Christi
Originally from Hawaii, Iration is a reggae group from Santa Barbara, California started in 2004 by Micah Pueschel, Cayson Peterson, Adam Taylor, Joseph King and Joseph Dickens. The band started out playing reggae covers in college towns such as: Cal Poly SLO, Chico State and UC Davis. Their type of reggae is not the traditional kind you’re used to hearing but like most reggae, it does have the sunshine most reggae bands are known for giving. Once you listen to just one of their tracks you’ll know it’s not your typical reggae. Their style is a mix of both rock and dub, which makes them stand apart from the norm. The band has had several albums that have reached the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, reached the No. 3 top-selling reggae album worldwide on iTunes and sold more than 8,000 copies of their album in one week. All of these are major accomplishments for a young band with roots from Hawaii. Trend Privé Magazine had the opportunity to interview lead singer Micah Pueschel and lead guitarist Adam Taylor before their performance during BottleRock Napa 2016.
