Christina Grimmie - Advice
She's come a long way from covering System of a Down at my birthday show. Currently on tour with Selena Gomez & the Scene, Grimmie just released this music video for single "Advice", from her debut EP Find Me. This one certainly fits into Radio Disney's dance-pop-lite format, readying young listeners for the club-centric sounds of 21st century American pop music.

Christina Grimmie - Find Me EP
YouTube sensation and Selena Gomez associate Christina Grimmie released her debut EP Find Me yesterday, beginning a rapid climb to (as of this posting) #3 on the iTunes albums chart. Lead single "Liar Liar" currently sits at #88 on the iTunes singles chart with some assistance from Radio Disney airplay, and a summer tour with Gomez and Allstar Weekend is in the works. She has worked long and hard for this: I remember "Liar Liar" as possibly the only original in her set of metal and pop covers at my birthday show last year. Pick up Find Me on iTunes here.

Catching Up With Christina Grimmie
You may remember Christina Grimmie as the opening act for my birthday show to benefit To Write Love On Her Arms. That was the last independent show allowed by her manager, otherwise known as Selena Gomez' stepdad.
Since then she has been keeping herself busy getting even more YouTube famous, singing backing vocals for Gomez, and going into virtual hiding to avoid manic fans. A couple kids even tried to friend me on Facebook to get in contact with her. As an indication of her popularity, Billboard just reported that she is currently beating both Justin Bieber and Rihanna in a YouTube popularity contest, despite the former's self-parodying Super Bowl Best Buy ad. Vote for her here to ensure that I get to say "Remember when?" and "I told you so" when she becomes the new Miley Cyrus, but writes her own music. If you don't know who any of these people are, ask your preteen relatives.

I'm Promoting My First Show
Hey kids!
On my 21st birthday (June 4th), I will be promoting my very first non-college-related show at The Auction House in Audubon, NJ. It will benefit To Write Love On Her Arms, a cause that means a great deal to me due to the struggles of people that I love. Music will be provided by Troubador, Letters From The Prom, Pennsylvania folk trio Darry Miller & The Veil, and local YouTube phenomenon Christina Grimmie and friends. Tickets will be $10, and you can RSVP on Facebook here. Be sure to get tickets in advance when they become available and/or arrive early, as this is an intimate venue that is sure to sell out!
On a related note, help make sure that I do not lose the ability to promote in Philly before I get started, and help support the indie and DIY promoters and venues that have been creating such an awesome scene for us there by signing this petition against a city council bill that would require official contracts and other paperwork to be submitted to the city for approval 30 days in advance of each event. We don't want the arts in the same hands as the SEPTA strike.
