Ajay Mathur
“An amazing amount of originality, creativity and rich conventional wisdom Mathur has to offer” wrote Cyrus Rhodes of IMD about India-born and Switzerland based singer-songwriter Ajay Mathur. Sherryl Craig of Nashville Music Guide went even further; “Ajay may have created a new genre music that is endless. The sky is the limit on his mix of instruments and lyrics. His creativity is boundless.” Indeed Ajay’s albums come “with a fresh sound and an entertaining vibe that makes a real connection with music fans” as Michael Rand of All What’s Rock precisely put it. Released in May 2015, Ajay Mathur’s latest album “9 to 3” (UPC 889211268627) has been a continuous success story, with the first single WALKING ON THE WATER hitting the U.S. Airplay Top 80 Independent Chart at #59 on May 23rd 2015. The song stayed on various charts for 12 consecutive weeks, peaking at #14. Since then, both the follow-up singles have performed extremely well on various airplay charts. MY WORLD (SOS TO THE UNIVERSE) ranked on U.S. airplay charts for 16 consecutive weeks, peaking at #4 on Top 50 Rock Chart. VIEW FROM THE TOP, the third single release from ‘9 to 3’ peaked at #1 on National Airplay Top 50 Rock Chart and at #15 on European Independent Music Top 200 Chart.
Scott Alexander of Abort Magazine describes the magic of ‘9 to 3’ with; “This album is awesome, and it’s tough to explain exactly why. The best way to get the message across is to simply say… This is madness. Madness, in the best sense of the word possible.” Randy Radic of Contact Music tastefully adds; “'9 to 3' is like fine dining at a hoity-toity restaurant: Mathur is the cordon bleu chef plying his craft deep in the kitchen, surrounded by pots and pans and stoves. The entrée emerges and is conveyed into the dining room, where it is pronounced "delicious." AXS Magazine’s McEagon Voyace sums up the mastery of the album with “Ajay Mathur's '9 to 3' is a master class on consummate songwriting” and k Rick Ecker of New Noise Magazine attributes ‘9 to 3’ as a “very unique album, with a feel of how albums used to be, full of surprises and risks that take you on a trip and engage your mind as well as your ears.”
'9 to 3' follows Ajay Mathur's previous successful releases of ‘A Matter of Time' (2011) and 'Come See Conquer' (2013) which have enjoyed excellent reviews and acknowledgements in the international media, top-rankings on internet radio playlists, chart ranking on Americana (AMA) radio charts, four award-winning singles including 'Communicate' which was a finalist in the 2011 Show Me the Music song-writing contest and 'Easy' as a finalist in the 2012 Unsigned Only Songwriting Competition and over a million fans and listeners worldwide.
Janne Zawa of Indie Artists Alliance sums it up; “It is very clear that Ajay’s talents are far beyond what anyone could have imagined, and, simply put, this guy is a pure genius of his musical craft”.
Born and raised in India, now living in Switzerland, Ajay Mathur’s talent as a singer/songwriter and seasoned musician blends both pop and rock genres with American Roots and traditional Indian instruments into something radically new and genre-bending. Ajay started off performing at some of the hottest clubs in New Delhi and Mumbai during the height of the 1970's. While some of the biggest international musicians from the West, including Jimmy Page and Don Cherry, were touring the country in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, they joined Ajay onstage for unforgettable jam sessions that lasted through the night. Mathur celebrated success in his European home of Switzerland with his rock group 'Mainstreet' in the 80s and 90s. Along with sold out tours across Europe, the group had an impressive four singles and two albums make it to the top 20 on the Swiss radio charts, enjoy airplay on various European radio stations, and month-long club power play in Tokyo's Hard Rock Cafe.
“The beauty of Mathur is Mathur himself. I believe this man feels every word he sings” wrote Jennifer Hertzler of Gigband recently about Ajay and admits “I’m hooked from the first track”.

Peyton Place (1957) - Lana Turner
It's the pre-WWII era. Peyton Place is a small town in New England, whose leading adult citizens rule the town with their high moral standards, which they try to pass on to their offspring. The adults, especially those that wield power largely through their positions and/or through their wealth, will not tolerate anything they believe morally improper, even if there is a hint of impropriety without comprehensive evidence to back up the hints. As their offspring grow from teenagers to adults, the offspring learn that there is much hypocrisy by the adults lying underneath that façade of proper Christian morals. The offspring begin to rebel in different ways, which is brought to public scrutiny with the arrival into town of an "outsider", the new young high school principal Michael Rossi, and through a murder trial.

The Late Great 1998: Rising Toronto Rapper Leondro Pays Tribute to Cash Money Records and Its Late ’90s Impact on Clever New “Hunnit” Single
(Los Angeles, CA) – January 22, 2016
The MuseBox today announced the release of “Hunnit,” the clever new single by tried and true rising Toronto rapper Leondro. “Hunnit” is both the announcement of Leondro's arrival on the music scene and a tribute to the record label that inspired Leondro. The trap-pop infused gem was prompted by the impact Cash Money Records had on the industry in the late 1990s, an era that saw the rise of hip-hop icons such as Juvenile and Lil Wayne. Smooth and full of flavor, Leondro shines on “Hunnit” via his use of clever wordplay. The release of “Hunnit” marks Leondro’s rise within the hip-hop community, a prospect deemed unlikely following several adolescent run-ins with the law.
Leondro was born in Toronto in 1988. He was the youngest of three children raised in social housing in West End Toronto. His single mother worked three jobs to support her children. When Leondro was five years old, his mother gave him a life-altering gift that would spur his love for music: a Karaoke machine with a microphone.
As a teen, Leondro bounced between thirteen different schools. He was constantly in trouble, hanging out on the streets with the wrong crowds. In the late 1990s, Leondro discovered Baby and Cash Money, with whom he immediately felt a connection. Before the age of twenty, Leondro found himself in legal trouble.
It was soon after that Leondro decided to make a difference in the world and not be the stereotypical “project” kid who ends up in jail. His mother meant too much to him, as evidenced by his tribute tune “Super Big.” Leondro’s musical style changed from dark and angry to upbeat and inspirational, characteristics still seen today on tracks such as “Girl You the Ish.”
More information on Leondro’s intriguing story of redemption is available on his official website.

Janey Reynolds - In Search of the last Pin-Up Stars
MEMPHIS TN (IFS) -- By the end of the 1960's, a lost art of the WWII pin-up girl was all but over. Most of the great pictures we have of these beautiful women are in Black & White. These images once considered "taboo" and just pornography is up for the high dollar price for original copies of these photos. After the Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, and everyone one else in the picture with a porno video, this ledge is considered the bottom of the barrow for collectors. However, "soft porn pin-up girls" is what the market is demanding right now. Single lens reflex action with a good eye and a fast finger have given these ladies of a log ago and bye gone era just that -- memories of these women fixed in time is priceless for collectors.
EBay.com's bins are overloaded with "soft pron" memories from WWII. But whose pictures dominate the listing and the sample sites. . . Janey Reynolds. You will pay a pretty penny for these reprints from the original negatives and slides.
In the early 1950's the famed "Pin-Up Models" from WWII carried over into the new era of photography. The boys of the war only got the "clean" image photos that you could send home to mother. But now, the estates of many of these actresses, i.e., Hedy Lamarr's full color photos of her in the nude in various positions, is a little to much to believe, as this girl invented the US Navy's torpedo.
Not much is known about Ms. Janey Reynolds from Canada. She has changed her name as many times as some countries. Ms. Reynolds photographs have appeared in over 1,000 magazines all over the world. She is considered the most photographed woman in the world.
Let's not just point fingers at the "bad" girls, as one must exclude Ms. Lamarr's full nude from the other girls who just wanted to get their pictue taken, and exclude the one girl that is that most photographed woman in the world at that time was Miss Janey Reynolds.
The pictures of these glorious females in all their abundant beauty and form is all that is left of these media industry pioneers. There are very few stories of these ladies, especially Miss Janey Reynolds of Canada.
The color film and the new cameras of the day were made for each other. The topless form of photography with female models was known as "soft porn".
Ms. Reynolds, by far was the most photographed pin-up girl ever.
