Justin Kawika Young




"Islands in the Stream" is a beautiful song created and performed by legends BeeGees, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

In respect to the legends, NuAsia's mission was to modernize the song while still maintaining the original melody front and present. They wanted the song to be recognized from the beginning and making it sound like it was produced yesterday at the same time.

Nicolás Walle


This single by half-Irish, half-Dutch, multi-instrumental musician and producer Nicolaas Walle features talented singer Sophia Malaika, is the second of a trilogy of singles being released by Nicolaas Walle, which are conceptually linked.


The concept is to fuse elements of explorational and exciting progressive rock bands of the 70s with contemporary stylistic elements and more modern commercial tendencies in order to make a sound which sits comfortably in the modern music context of 2023 whilst still preserving some of the creative ethos of bands such as YES, Camel, Rush and other great bands who have influenced Nicolaas.

"Sun Coming Up on My Life" is about the feeling of having a trajectory of positive change in one's life and being grateful for it.

James Leeds


Following radio plays from renowned German radio station SWR3, composer, pianist and producer James Leeds returns with a beautiful pop song ‘Whenever or Wherever’ featuring vocals from JACOB. He composed this song for his wife and performed it on their wedding day.


As one blogger wrote "Whenever or Wherever" is 'a gorgeous old-school pop song. It's got an ever-green melody that will never go out of date. The vocals are wonderful as are the harmonies and the overall production, although a mixture of 1970s and 1980s, is extremely effective... Love it!'

Wild Wisteria


Crystal Tangerine has an internal cohesion whist covering differing spectrums of time, location and musical genre, testament to Wild Wisteria’s versatility.


The album opens with "Going Home", lamenting the lost 'age of the 78 vinyl', followed by the title track, inspired by machinations during one of the most fascinating periods in Australian politics, but with universal relevance to life in general.

"On the Dark Side of the Moon", "Unrequited Love", "I Did Not Year You" and "House of Many Faces" showcase the different facets of love within the genres of Rock, Prog Rock, Classic Rock, Folk and Pop.

"Moment by Moment" is a timeless, Adult Contemporary Pop Ballad. "Shanghai Cowboy Show" has a US Country Jazz vibe. "Blue Skies in Paradise" is Pop Orchestral Indie Rock, inspired by the Italian Amalfi Coast. "Smokin’ Annies’ Place" is pure Jazz, drawn from the backstreets of New Orleans.
