LA has always had an artistic soul. The culture and heritage of our city, like most great cities, owes a tremendous debt to the arts community. Supporting local art is something we care deeply about and we’d like to do everything we can to help the local arts community thrive. Unfortunately, too often media attention is monopolized by corporate interests and tabloid gossip – but culture doesn’t come from a focus on celebrity breakups it comes from a focus on the arts. Below, you’ll find some incredible artists from in and around Hollywood that we hope you will check out, follow and support.

I’m from Mill Valley, California, right outside of San Francisco. Salem is my real name, and no, I’m not a witch. My grandparents met and fell in love in Salem, MA, and it means “peace.” I started singing when I was 4 years old, and my parents thankfully caught on quickly. They enrolled me in a chorus class, as well as musical theatre, which I loved. Read more>>

My major in college was Media Arts, which covered a lot of things such as web design, animation, video production, and so much more.
