Orlando-based singer-songwriter Matthew Fowler recently released his debut album, Beginning, which he began writing as a teenager and recorded live in his family's kitchen. His journey as a musician started at age 14, when he got a Yamaha acoustic guitar (which he still plays) for his birthday and became hooked on writing songs. When time came to look at colleges, Fowler decided to forgo university life to focus on writing Beginning. He taught himself how to use recording equipment, rallied a group of musician friends and got to work. -

Grammys 2015 Best Music Video Nominees, Who Should & Who Will Win: Arcade Fire and Sia Take on Pharrell Williams
The Best Music Video category for this year's Grammys features an array of talent and some striking visual clips. These aren't necessarily the best songs of the year, or even the most well-known. These tunes stand out merely because a director was able to pair the melody with meaningful images. No, "Anaconda" did not make the cut. Neither did "Booty." Instead we have videos from Arcade Fire, Sia and Pharrell Williams that concentrate on shots above the belt. -

Grammys 2015 Best Alternative Album Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Arcade Fire and St. Vincent Make It a Close Call
These days, it feels as if we're on the cusp of a guitar comeback in the mainstream. Ever since Mumford and Sons introduced a new wave of pop-folk, Top 40 radio has slowly relented on its "dance only" policy. -
Harrison on Hardwell "Sally" Lyrics Controversy: 'It Was Our Plan the Whole Time'
The rise of electronic music globally has created a new class of superstar DJs who are able to tour the world, play in front of tens of thousands of people and be the face of multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns. But this has ignored the singers, songwriters and engineers who work tirelessly to create the songs that get radio play, played in clubs and at festivals and charted worldwide. British singer, songwriter, producer and DJ Harrison is one of those people who make the wheels dance in electronic music, but he is not nearly satisfied with that. -

Grammys 2015 Best Compilation Soundtrack Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Frozen Takes On Guardians of the Galaxy, American Hustle & More
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy became the highest-grossing superhero film of 2014. That in itself is impressive, but to think that a superhero film would also have an incredible soundtrack? That's not something you see every day. Superhero films are rarely known for their soundtracks -- scores, perhaps, but not soundtracks -- and lot of the film's success came from the fact that it has killer music.
