Introducing singer/songwriter Alyssa Bernal.


When multiplatinum artist and producer Pharrell Williams is so anxious to get in touch with someone that he contacts their high school to try and track them down, you know that there is something special happening. When that happened to singer-songwriter and YouTube sensation Alyssa Bernal, the teenager was shocked. “They didn’t know who Pharrell was! They just thought it was some shady guy trying to get a hold of me,” laughs Alyssa. Her mother finally spotted his MySpace message and 24 hours later, she and Alyssa were on a plane from their home in San Antonio, TX to meet Pharrell and Interscope Records Chairman Jimmy Iovine in Los Angeles. "Finding a new talent like Alyssa is so exciting to me,” says Pharrell. “There are a lot of young singers out there who can carry a tune, but Alyssa is the real deal. She is a true musician with an incredible voice."


Once signed to Star Trak, Alyssa met with her dream producer, Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Train). Terefe's schedule was fully booked for the next few months, but after an hour-long meeting with the young singer, he agreed to work with her - starting immediately. Alyssa and her mother moved to London for seven weeks to record her debut album, In Love Again For The First Time. Terefe helped develop Alyssa’s naturally sunny sound, enlivening her pop sensibility with notes of funk and soul. First single "Cali Cali Cali" is available on iTunes now, and is the perfect example of Alyssa's sunny yet substantive style. Visit AlyssaBernal.com to watch her DIY video of the track and stay tuned to the site for updates on her debut!

Taylor Momsen poses for Sugar magazine.



The Pretty Reckless lead singer, Taylor Momsen is looking gorgeous on the October cover of Sugar magazine. The actress/singer ditcher her normal over-the-top eyeliner looks, but I don't think we'll be seeing this Taylor anytime soon. Check out a the scans below(click to enlarge), as well as a few quotes from the magazine.




Question: What exactly are you insecure about?
Taylor: "I'm a f**king teenager - I'm insecure about everything!"

Question: And what about your reputation for being 'angsty'. Is that fair?
Taylor: "Of course it's justified! I'm angsty as sh*t. I'm a teenage girl in a rock band - what do you expect? [Laughs] But it's not like I'm mean,  I just don't give a f**k what people think.  I don't think I'm different from other teens, its just people talk about me more."

Question: What do you think of reality stars who make music?
Taylor: "When I was nine I wrote a song called Blackout. And I think that Heidi Montag just sang a song that a nine-year old wrote. So thats what I think about that."
