hot new artist Jillan O

In a city that has been best known for its athletic teams and juicy peaches, it can be easy to overlook the fact that Atlanta, GA has also produced a list of musical talent that  reads like a Grammy Awards guest list. That list of high-caliber star talent is going to get  a little longer as Jillian O steps up to the plate.
Singing since she could speak, it was evident from the beginning that Jillian O didn’t just love to sing, she was exceptionally good at it. Over the first 10 years of her life, her need for musical expression grew and she began writing songs, as well as performing. ”Early on, I never showed anyone anything I wrote because I thought it was all really bad.” Her passion for songwriting became undeniable, however, and it soon became a part of her identity. “Now I canʼt wait to show my friends and family new songs! It must get pretty annoying!”, Jillian added. Recognizing her unstoppable love for music and her genuine talent for it, her whole family is behind her.
“When I was little I used to dream about singing on stage in front of thousands of people. I wanted people to remember me. I told my parents I wanted to seriously pursue my music career at age twelve. My entire family has supported me from day one. They have never pressed me to do anything I didnʼt want to do. They are just proud and happy Iʼm following my dreams.” As such a young talent, Jillian knows the importance of focusing on her education while pursuing her career, and she excels at both. “Last year, I switched schools. I now go to  a private home school. The school is designed so people who are performers or athletes can pursue their dreams but still get an education and be social. I can go to Nashville and do the work online so I donʼt miss anything when Iʼm gone. My training schedule is pretty intense and Iʼm training as an artist 6-7 days a week for long hours!
Balancing that and staying a straight A student is quite a challenge.” But Jillian O has yet to meet a challenge she wasn’t determined enough to dominate.

WPal - Paladin Radio welcomes Mari Hot new music from Italy

Mari ( aka Marina Conti) is an Italian singer songwriter who has always been immersed in music . She graduated with a degree in Technical Communications and Music Marketing and she produced and presented the program on the Italian based web radio ‘RAZ’ called ‘Pick Out’. The program was created around Mari’s favorite trip-hop and electronic bands: Air, Portishead, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Goldfrapp and Zero 7, one of whose members she would work with in the future.

Mari worked with various music magazines where she had opportunities to know and interview numerous international musicians and singers. One of these the American guitarist Gary Lucas with whom she wrote ‘You Will See My Flame Again,’ an unreleased song dedicated to a great Lucas’ friend, well renowned singer, songwriter and guitarist, the late Jeff Buckley. A decisive meeting for Mari’s career has been the one with Mozez , the front man with the million selling Zero 7 with whom she co-wrote her debut album ‘Gentle Beauty’, a collection of 12 songs produced by Mozez for his record label Numen Records.

Free, the second single from the album is out now on iTunes, Numen Records and all the leading outlets. The track has been re-mixed by the British remixer and producer Raj Gupta ( Roxy Music, Freddy Mercury,Shirley Bassey, Gorillaz and many other).

The Album Gentle Beauty is currently available on Numen Records and on iTunes , Amazon, Spotify and all the major online music distributors.

Mari’s thoughts

‘I believe that there should be no rules to follow when you write a song. There is a timeless dimension which contains all the notes and all the combinations, past and yet to come, and if you’re lucky, it chooses you and gives you a gift, a song…

There's never anything rational or planned in the way I write. My songs speak about me, my inner world and the simplest things that surround me…

I like comparing my connection with music as a parallel and faithful path that has always accompanied me since I was very young. Although I was working as a sales assistant in a high fashion clothing store, I began to notice that often people's lives around me were somehow like a music composition. The connection between them coming from different backgrounds often intrigued me somehow. They were like musical notes. Those mysterious coincidences, unplanned encounters which were then revealed important developed in me a link , an unconditional trust and love for music which has never left me. Now I'm starting to walk through this path although this is just the beginning of it, I hope it will accompany me for the rest of my life..’ Mari.


WPAL - Paladin Radio is very happy to be adding Mari to Our play rotation and introduce this international artist to the world stage. As always one of the missions of Paladin radio to break down the market lines that seem to exist for international and indie artist like and expose people to great music that would not normaly get attentions of radio stations.

Kelly Pfaff breaking on paladin radio.

Since her 14 years she has been working her way up to her career. In addition to successful top model, dancer, makeup artist, kelly Pfaff was also bitten by the music bug. Music became over the years a real passion, a lifestyle. Twelve years ago she has chosen the path of DJ\entertainer. She wanted to share her passion,she wanted to transfer this passion. After 10 years as a dj in the anonymity, to grow, to learn, to evolve, it was time to be more prominent. Dj Kelly Pfaff joined in the foreground and this with success. Kelly created her own style, her own image. It was the time to go further in building her career, own material, a private stamp, a private single. Together with a talented, unknown, young DJ\producer Wesley Dieltjens, she dove into the studio and was gently, by trial and error, kneaded to what is now the end result. BIP Records competed on the cart, a partnership of trust and mutual respect. Now is the time to unleash her child in the outside world, another step in her quirky, considered career.
