Pop/R&B Singer Jessi Malay talks with PureStyle and gives an update on what’s been happening in her life and career.

From the very first question you can tell a lot has happened recently to Ms Malay!

PureStyle: Jessi it’s been way too long. Tell us, what have you been up to since our last epic interview with you? Did you miss us?Jessi Malay: Like you wouldn’t believe!! Of COURSE I missed you!! We haven’t spoken for a LONG time!! Where shall I begin… Last summer I released my first official single, Cinematic, produced by Felli Fel, shot a hot video, and then started touring around a bit doing shows. In the midst of all that, I had a freak accident and tore my ACL in my knee and had to have knee surgery. About a month after surgery I got super sick and was out of the scene for months!!! With all that down time, I started writing and am proud to say I wrote the best songs I’ve ever written

They continue discussing different aspects about her music, taste in men, and life experiences. They also talk about her recent music video shoot for ‘Cinematic’ which you can catch after the jump. It’s a short interview but a good read for any of you Jessi fans out there.

DJ Neil Armstrong Interview w/ Ig’nant Witted

Blogger/writer Ig’nant Witted had the opportunity to chat with the legendary DJ Neil Armstrong of 5th Platoon (and DJ for Jay-Z). It’s a dope interview and DJ Neil Armstrong breaks off a little bit of Hip-Hop history, shares some fun (gross) tour stories, talks about his style and his respect for some DJ’s that are no longer with us. It’s a real thorough interview and worth every minute (It clocks in at 20 min total).

Note: I found it kind of humorous that they played renegade in the background while interviewing Jay-Z’s DJ haha.

Seriously Releases ‘Immaculate Addiction’ Single

Just as we reported a couple weeks ago, Seriously has finally dropped their much anticipated single ‘Immaculate Addiction’. You can cop the track at iTunes and Amazon now!

No promotional BS or hype, this is a great song. It’s got catchy synths, solid vocals and a fun vibe. What more can you ask for in a pop rock song? Believe me I’m not alone on this, others around the blogosphere agree with me. How’s that for references?

This is the first of 9 singles to be released once a month for the next 9 months. If all the songs are as hot as this one you’re looking at one fantastic collection of songs.

Priscilla Ahn x KoreAm Live Show Posted

KoreaAm has put together another live chat session/broadcast show, this time featuring the amazingly talented Priscilla Ahn. The show was hosted by Big Phony (who had his own show a couple months back) and included guest musician Wendy Wang of The Sweet Hurt. I was only able to catch a short part of it last night but they’ve thankfully posted the show in it’s entirety for you to stream. I’m loving how much easier it is to connect artists and fans these days.

Last night’s web show with Priscilla Ahn was magical. Her voice was heavenly and her sweet, giggly personality was infectious. I have a girl-crush, I’ll admit it. She had me at “curmudgeon-y.”

If you couldn’t catch the live performance, you can replay it in its entirety right here. (You can also access it from our KoreAm LIVE page at any time.) The most breathtaking song, in my opinion, was “Holy, Holy, Holy,” which Priscilla played with Big Phony and The Sweet Hurt. Scroll to about 00:46:00 to listen. Like I said, magical.

Just wanted to thank all the talented people for making this show possible (these live chats appear super casual but they’re actually run by a pretty massive crew): the wonderful Priscilla Ahn (of course), our rockstar host Big Phony, vocalist/keyboardist Wendy Wang of The Sweet Hurt, the team at Future Rockstars of America, Peter of My Ninja Clothing and Charles and Justin of The Mighty Fifty. I know people always say, “We couldn’t have done it without you” but we really couldn’t have done it without you.

Cheers everyone!
