 Hey guys, welcome back to The Nova Show, it's your host International Nova and in today's episode we've got some cool music news and a freedom partner spotlight, so let's get right to it. And in today's news, Martin Shrekli has been arrested by the FBI. Now if you guys tuned into our last episode, I did announce that Martin Shrekli is the most hated man on the internet. He is known for buying a life-saving HIV drug and hiking up the price from $13.50 to over $700 for the pill and is also the person who purchased the Wu Tang album for over $2 million. Now just a few days ago, Martin announced that he would bail out rapper Bobby Shmurda from jail and would also cover his lawyer fees. Now the very next day he was arrested by the FBI and charged with fraud. Now get this, Martin posted bail the same exact day for $5 million. Now in other news, R&B's supergroup, TGT, which consists of Tank, Tyrese and Genoine, have just announced their breakup over Instagram. Now according to Tyrese's Instagram post, it seems that Tyrese and Tank are moving on and are looking for a brand new third member to the group. Now over the past few years they have been known for having small fights within the group, but it seems like this breakup is official. Congratulations go out to R&B singer Tiana Taylor and her fiancée NBA player Iman Shumpert on the birth of their daughter just a few days ago. Now just a few nights ago it seems that Tiana went into labor without realizing it and essentially delivered her baby girl in their bathroom floor with the help of Iman and a pair of headphones. Now apparently Iman used a pair of headphones to tie the umbilical cord until a paramedics arrived and were able to do their thing and take Tiana to the hospital. Hey guys we're back in my home studio and today's freedom partner Spotlight goes out to a partner by the name of Alexander Obitz. Now one of the great things that I love about the Nova show is that we feature a spotlight with different artists across different genres of music. Rappers, singers, producers, you name it we spotlight it here. And today's freedom partner Spotlight is no different. He does a lot of cover songs and does have some cool original music as well. And I'm actually really really impressed by his potential. So let's go and check him out. You gotta change my answer in machine now that I'm alone cause right now it says that we can't come to the phone and I know it makes no sense cause you walk out the door but it's the only way I hear your voice anymore. Now there's a few things I do want to touch on that hopefully can help you make some better music and some better quality recordings. Now the first thing is what I like to call CTP, cadence, tone and presence. Now with cadence this has to deal with speed, delivery and your melodies. As a vocalist you want to find the right speed or the right cadence at which you can sing your vocals and still being your natural breath pattern so you don't sound out of breath. Now as far as tone, as a vocalist, as a singer, as a rapper you want to find the tone that is right for you. As a musician you want to find the right tone, you want to find the right key at which you're comfortable singing at and at the same time sound your best. Now as a singer you don't have to sing at every key, you just have to master your key and your range. Neal is a great example of this, he doesn't have a huge vocal range but he's mastered his range and he sounds amazing in his tone. To learn your range find out which key you're most comfortable in and master that key. Now lastly is presence, you want to make sure your presence is felt on every single record and you want to make the record yours. One thing I did notice in your covers is you're not singing the song the same way the original artist sang it which is great. You're making the song you and that's part of your presence okay. You want to leave your mark on every single song you do, every single recording, every single time you touch the microphone. Now aside from these things I think you have amazing potential and I would love to see you grow as an artist. I would love to see you become a partner of beat which is our music label here at Freedom. So guys please go follow Alexander, his link is in the description below, subscribe and join me in watching his progress grow as an artist. Now guys that's it for the Nova Show, until next time I hope you guys take care.
