Vice has kicked off 2017 with the official video for his genre-bending single Steady 1234 featuring Jasmine Thompson & Skizzy Mars. The visual follows the triumphant win of Musical.ly’s NextWave competition, which generated over 450k videos and garnered over 40 million views. Still climbing, the track currently has over 35 million plays worldwide and is sitting at #17 on the overall Spotify US Chart – thanks to massive playlist support via Today’s Top Hits, Teen Party, Mood Booster & more.
Directed by Amber Park, the colorful video breathes new life into the track with fluid choreography and mesmerizing imagery courtesy of CGI geniuses Randy Cano and Brian Henry. The track also recently received the dancehall remix treatment via Bad Royale.
Vice:
Named one of “America’s Best DJs,” Vice performs on stage at some of the hottest festivals across the country (including Coachella, Ultra Miami) and holds residencies at Marquee (Las Vegas, New York), LIV Miami and Create (Los Angeles). Inspired by his many travels, Vice’s music has the distinct ability to take listeners around the world to places such as Ibiza, Tokyo, London and Hong Kong, like he did with his hit song “World Is Our Playground.”
Vice keeps his sound fresh and innovative by collaborating with a wide variety of artists, ranging from A-list to indie – working with everyone from Rihanna, Capitol Cities, Linkin Park to Kelly Rowland. He combined his passion for music along with his love of sneakers by setting up in-store DJ booths in the CRSVR Boutiques that he owns in California and Las Vegas, creating a unique retail experience where “music meets fashion.” He has plans to open more locations and take things to international in the very near future.
Jasmine Thompson:
London-born singer-songwriter Jasmine Thompson has released multiple EPs showcasing both her affinity for sparkling dance-pop and soulful, haunting pop covers. She is currently working on another EP via Atlantic Records that will showcase her diverse talents, a follow up to her ADORE EP. The title track from that release achieved radio success in a slew of European countries including Top 10 airplay in both Italy and Poland. More recently, Thompson lent her vocals to Thomas Jack on his single “Rise Up” and German DJ HUGEL on his track “Where We Belong.”
Thompson’s YouTube channel now has over 2.5 million subscribers and 500 million YouTube views. Her songs (along with the tracks she has been featured on) have amassed 1 billion streams worldwide! As something of a muse to a host of DJ’s and EDM producers; Jasmine has been featured on Felix Jaehn’s “Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better)” remix, Robin Schulz’s single “Sun Goes Down,” and has had multi-platinum DJ/producer Avicii personally ask her to cover his single “The Days.” He called her version “breathtaking.”
Skizzy Mars:
Manhattan is a borough of sounds just as diverse as its denizens. Against that backdrop, rapper, songwriter, and artist Skizzy Mars always set himself apart since his childhood in Harlem. With equal readiness to name check Morrissey, nod to big screen romances, and precisely spit an ode to a stranger on the subway, an outlier perspective fuels his full-length debut, Alone Together.
As soon as the album went live on iTunes, it captured #1 on the Top Hip-Hop/Rap Albums Chart and #3 on the Overall Top Albums Chart. Skizzy has seen success after success since he began making music at 17. In 2011, his introductory single “Douchebag” would ignite enthusiasm from numerous blogs. Skizzy built a fervent fan base by engaging a marathon of touring alongside the likes of G-Eazy, Logic, B.o.B, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. His 2013 mixtape Phases and 2014 follow-up Pace became fan favorites, while he started to infiltrate the mainstream on 2015’s The Red Balloon Project EP. Buoyed by the single “Time” (feat. G-Eazy & Olivver the Kid), it debuted at #4 on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart and peaked at #35 on the Top 200.
