"This is a change, a change I can believe in..."

The first thing you'll probably notice when you see songstress Ria is "Daaaayummm!!!" Here's why:



Guess what, though. Aside from being absolutely stunning, charming and brilliant, girly can SING. She blew me away at a recent Haiti benefit concert, and I am unbelievely excited and honored that she and her accompanying guitarist Michel Gonzalez have agreed to participate in the Magic City Launch Party on Feb 13th (Sooo soon! Ahhh!)

When you see her sing live - voice, beauty and personality bursting out at you - I'm sure you'll become an instant fan as I did. Meanwhile you can check her out and even buy some tracks online. You can also find her on twitter, which by the way is my latest obsession!

Here is a video of her singing my favorite of her songs, "Alright" at Van Dyke Cafe on South Beach.

"If you weren't real, I'd make you up..."

For a while now we've been working on a craaaaazy awesome launch party. We're still in the planning stages, but I'm very excited!

So far we have Saturday, February 13th from 9pm-12am at the beautiful Klutch Nightclub in Miami!

The event will be a night full of "Magic City" themed art, including painters, photographers, fashion designers, florists, dancers, musicians, caterers, make-up artists and OPEN BAR! :) There will be a cocktail hour set for enjoying all the visual arts, food and drinks, followed by a little dance time, and then an ultra fab performance art showcase. Entry is set at $20.

We have many artists confirmed already, but I plan on dedicating a post to each of them from now until Feb. 13th so that they all get their own (much-deserved!) time to shine.

Stay tuned! Hope to see you there!
