Hey everyone! Hailee here, and today I thought I would try something a little bit different! For those who don't know me, music is my life. I live and breathe music, although to my parents, some of my choices are questionable I like to listen to a large range of music genres! Today, I thought I would share with you some of the artists that I am totally in love with, and feel like you guys should check them out if you're looking for some new inspiration! I've seen all of these artists live, and will be giving a short critic of what I thought of their live performances as well!

Are you guys as music obsessed as I am? Have you heard of any of these talented people, or would love to hear some of the artists you love and that I should check out!

Calling all One Tree Hill fans! Yes, Chris Keller has a music career and a pretty good one at that. While he isn't pursuing his acting career, Tyler Hilton is busy in the recording studio making hits. It's hard to classify a specific genre of music since he does a little bit of everything, but his latest album which was released in 2014 titled Indian Summer gives off a more country vibe, he dabbles, in blues and rock as well.

By far, my favourite single of his is "You'll Ask For Me," which he wrote after a girl turned him down because she knew him as his arrogant One Tree Hill character, and never took the time to know the real him. I've been lucky to attend his concert 3 times (yes, I'm obsessed) and have met him all three times. I love going to his shows because they are so intimate (he usually dedicates a song to his wife, which is adorable), and stays to meet all of his fans afterward!

Hailing from Washington DC, musician Grant Eadie, who goes by the stage name Manatee Commune has a very specific vibe to him. I will admit, the first time that I listened to him, I wasn't a big fan. But the more that I listened to him, I realized that he was a creative genius. I admit that he isn't for everyone, with his electric sounds that are put together and just flow so perfectly. For those interested in listening to his unique sounds, I suggest you listen to the song "Blueberry."

I absolutely loved watching perform, it's just him on stage, with his soundboard, drums, and a violin. As he fills the room with his electric sound waves, he dances on the stage so he just isn't standing there. It is by far, the most adorable thing that I have ever witnessed. 

Formed only about a year ago, the members of this band have all been friends for a very long time. The band consists of lead singer, Chelsea, and twin brothers, Max(right) and Spencer(left). Their band name SHAED is pronounced shade, this is because the band wants each of their songs to have a different shade. The reference comes from reviewers who state that they have very colorful music.

Although, the band has not released an official album, yet. They have released a variety of singles that really showcase the talent of the band. Although the band does have a pop feel to them, Chelsea's voice adds a blue's feel to it. I've seen them open for a singer a few weeks back, and their onstage energy is incredible. The lead singer does an amazing job at bringing up the energy in the place. You can really tell that she is giving it her all as she performs. For those interested in hearing their music, I suggest you listen to the song "Perfume."
