#45 - Music Artist, Eunice Keitan
Eunice Keitan's soulful voice makes a big impression on listeners. Both her international upbringing and her eclectic music background show in this Canadian singer-songwriter's work which mixes R&B/Acoustic Soul and World Folk influences.
Eunice is currently working on an EP that mixes folk music from Southeast Asia (where she grew up) with neo-soul. It's a project to hopefully preserve artistic traditions that are quickly disappearing in Southeast Asian villages in favor of more western culture/music. The project reimagines traditional soundscapes in a modern way and in a genre (Neo-soul) that would usually be an unlikely choice. The first single from the EP is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you get your music.

#42 - Music Artist, JT Curtis
JT Curtis is an NYC-based music artist whose virtuoso guitar chops, gutbucket vocals, and explosive energy allowed him to create such amazing music projects for CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, NCAA, and even The Super Bowl. It also gave him the drive to develop in-depth looks into the history of music via his YouTube series called “The History of Rock & Roll”. His newest and most ambitious piece to date is the innovative podcast musical Atomic Rod Reunion. Atomic Rod, a high-school rock band from the 2000s, reunites ten years later on The Mad-Hattan Hatter's Radio show. As truths are revealed, the feuding leaders (Raven Jones, now a notable rock star, and Jeff Callaghan, still a struggling artist) attempt to reconcile their differences and rediscover the excitement of playing together.
