If you didn’t know, I’ve been working for Mixr Media, LLC for a little over a year now and one of their sites, is Ningin which has always been a constant source of media for me. Recently on the forums, I discovered a youtuber by the username ccendana.

His real name is Chris Cendana, a Filipino American singer and songwriter who is inspired by musicians like John Mayer, Musiq Soulchild, and Jason Mraz. Jumping into music at the age of 5, he made renditions of songs he heard from his family on the piano. At age 10, he picked up percussion, his true passion, and continued to play at age 20. In between at age 13, he learned “turntablism”, a skill he picked up from his older brother, and became locally well known for his unique style. Finally at age 20, he learned guitar and plays in his spare time. He is located in Morgantown, West Virigina and plays at local venues like Black Bear and Blue Moose Cafe.

Some of my favorite songs from him are “Till the Lights Burn Out” and “No Diggity Funktafied“. You can purchase these songs from his Soundclick account. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

PS I can’t believe he’s not signed yet. HAHA

Alvin Lin just posted an article about Jabbawockeez on his Ningin blog and includes videos of their performances on America’s Best Dance Crew. They’re an amazing crew that deserves so much respect for their skill, dedication and passon for dance. It’s more than entertaining to watch them perform.

If you haven’t seen them, go to the url below, sign up and get the videos while you still can! It’s definitely worth the memory space.
