Artist Focus: David Choi
Artist Focus is when I recognize a music artist or artists, it's almost like a "shout out". David Choi is known for doing a lot of cover songs and you can see most of it on youtube. In addition to performing other artist's music, he's a pretty good songwriter himself. His first official music video is "Won't Even Start" but I also like his song called "Uneasy", so I'm putting it both up so you can check it out. David Choi, my first Artist Focus.

5 Artists of Today
No particular order:
1. He Is We
2. Parachute
3. State Radio
4. The A-B Theory
5. IYAZ
He Is We
He Is We is made up of two people, Trevor Kelly and Rachel Taylor from Tacoma, WA. It's kinda interesting how I came upon these guys, but not really, their names where pretty much splattered all over purevolume.com. Purevolume has this Top Songs feature on its website, it basically list 150 top songs daily. Well I came upon He Is We four weeks ago, and during that time they were ranked 50ish. I thought to myself that this was a nice sounding band, it reminded me of a slower more acoustic/indie version of Paramore. I check purevolume Top Songs list everyday, and I noticed that they were slowly going up the chart, and recently they took the number one spot. I think now they're still top 5, which is well deserved. Songs to check out: A Mess It Grows, Happily Ever After.
Parachute
Parchute is currently touring with Kelly Clarkson right now. What I like about this band is that they have their own unique soulful style, they're not full blown pop. My favorite songs from these guys are "Words Meet Heartbeats" and "Ghost", but I recommend buying their whole album Losing Sleep.
State Radio
If you like your bands to have a little mix of rock and reggae, I would recommend State Radio.
The A-B Theory
Jesse Smith makes up this incredible one man band. His lyrics to me is like modern pop poetry, mixed with digital beats and a dash of electronica. He has own style, but if you had to compare it to someone, it probably be a mix of Hellogoodbye and the voice of Ben Gibbard(Death Cab For Cutie). Smith's 2008 album Illusions may only have 7 songs, but it's 7 incredible songs.
IYAZ
It's either IYAZ or I.Y.A.Z., either way I predict this guy will eventually join bigger names like Akon and Sean Kingston. He currently has a single out called "Replay"
