With the recent launch of our new look site, I am happy to be finally doing the first post of my long awaited Unsung Heroes series. Around every star there is always a constellation of stars that also shine bright but often go unnoticed. This applies to the world of music. All successful artists work with geniuses in the background that fans do not necessarily know about or celebrate. I think it’s important to celebrate the musical geniuses behind the artist who make a significant contribution to creating the music and iconic status for the artists that we love. This is a post series of interviews celebrating guitarists, drummers, pianists, DJs, producers, engineers, choreographers and artist managers of the music world. A celebration of the “UnSung heroes”. Y&Y presents UnSung hero #1 Okiem Warmann, accomplished pianist, producer, songwriter and founder of successful youtube site “wannaplaypiano”. Interested yet? Check the Interview on the flipside.

Seeing as DJB’s taking over the Dope Quote for today, I felt I needed a way to On second thoughts, I’ll be doing Dope Quote after I finish writing this post. Steve Jobs passed away over a month ago and he’s still pretty much in the media spotlight. His legacy will live on forever but what made him so special in comparison to his competitors? We get to see the visionary’s creative thinking during a NeXT brainstorm in the period of his career that where he picked up a lot of skills that have made Apple a success. This video is a snippet taking from a series called Entrepreneurs that documents the creation of NeXT from a behind-the-scenes perspective. Notice how he quickly shuts down any stupid ideas from his team. Truly amazing footage from the vault. Watch it on the reverse.

Yin posted part 1 of 3 of David Beckham‘s Journey To L.A a few days ago. That focused on his life at Manchester United and the early part of his career, today I am bringing you part 2 which sees Beckham chatting to Hypebeast about his time at Real Madrid and what style means to players. Stay tuned for part 3 as i’m sure either myself or Yin will be bringing that to y’all in due course. For more on Journey To L.A head over to the microsite, see here
My twitter – @Niran7. In fact 90% of my social network/usernames around the internet is my name with 7 on the end. Why? Because of Beckham. Sad I know but when I was growing up, he was my idol. Nowadays I don’t idolise anyone but I do respect his come up, work ethic and most of all his style. This guy knows how to out dress the whole Royal Family at this year’s wedding! I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from his sense of style over the years, well maybe not from that awful sarong incident. The good folk over at Hypebeast sat down with legendary no.7 to question him on his early years, United life, fashion and style. This is the first part of 3, I’ll keep updating the post when the next few go live. Hop on after the cut for the video.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Ralph Pelleymounter who is 1/5 of new folk/rock band To Kill A King. As well as reading the below interview Yin & Yang has an exclusive first showing of the 3rd video to be taken from the bands ‘My Crooked Saint’ EP, ‘ Family’. The video follows on from the previous two singles ‘Bloody Shirt’ and ‘We Used To Protest/Gamble’ which you can also see here. The videos are a must watch from 1st to 3rd as they make up for a mini series which is to be concluded with the fourth video for ‘Wrecking Crew’ coming soon.
