Happy summer everyoneThe staff here at Pump It Up Magazine hopes everyone is enjoying a safe and fun summer.The weather here at our headquarters is 'hot', I mean it’s hot here in Southern California. Speaking of heat, wait until you hear this fabulous artist on the cover this month. Angela Easley is the embodiment of pure, soul, funk, blues. This talented artist, writer performer and musician has broken down barriers having debuted at # 1 on the Billboard Blues chart and more!Don’t forget to check out her interview in this edition and most of all listen to her single called ' Rise'.In our top tips section we have a great article on how to book yourself, especially if you haven’t landed an agent yet.What do you think will be the end game with all the changes going on in the world. Are you optimistic that things will get better or worse before it gets better. I’d like to think that on one side there is optimism and peace and on another  pessimism and fear.Music touches so many emotions that hopefully will allow us to cope with change.I hope everyone that reads the magazine has tuned in to KPIU-DB which is Pump It Up Magazine Radio, with two great shows, The Bernie C show and Grandmixer GMS,covering smooth jazz, R&B/Soul and Hip Hop!
