I wrote this song with alot of imagination. At the time, I had a lot of creative ideas about a beautiful land with different animals, flowers and fruits and things to do with swings, boat rides ect.. It's about two friends of 10 years (a boy and girl) that go on an adventure and start off in a forest. They soon end up in this world called "TOKNOWSOMEWHERE" which they age 7 years more. They are excited about their age and bewildered but they journey onward to an adventure they soon will find there's more to this land than its beauty.

With talent-incubation ability only matched by the larger major record labels in New Zealand, None Entertainment aims to continue to expand their roster of signees which includes rising rap-star “Sauce40”, New Zealand’s top-rated DJ “Zeroz”, and YouTube sensation “Ryder” from ‘The Cougar Boys’.
“Sauce40”, recently known as “Y3K$”, is an up and coming artist from a small town called Huntly, located in Waikato, New Zealand. His name is derived from, ‘Sauce’ meaning his drip style, while ‘40’ represents his day-one childhood crew. With his last singles under his previous name doing considerable numbers, Sauce40 has been showcasing and improving his diversity and adaptability to various styles of music. His sound still has elements of hard/trap rap, but after experimenting with his voice and putting in hours in the studio, he has increased his ability to create more melodic music and has used that to his advantage to increase his listening audience.
“Zeroz” is a multi-faceted DJ who is bringing new dimensions to the music industry by incorporating a variety of genres and sounds suited to various crowds. Zeroz is influenced by the different cultures she was exposed to during her upbringing with a mixed ethnicity of half European and half Chinese. She currently has a residency at Face Night Club Auckland, and is managed by None Entertainment. She has performed at a multitude of showcases and venues across New Zealand including The Roxy, Round 6, Infinity Club, Face Club and Raynham Park. Supported by her large following, Zeroz was voted 1st in New Zealand and 6th place within Australia and Oceania for DJANETOP’s Top DJs list.
With a strong foundation set in stone and a company structure that is tailored to nurture talent, None Entertainment is ready to expand its global presence and put its roster into the eyes of the international audience.
My New Plug owner Bing talks about his secrets to success and making over $100k/year after starting his own marketing agency
Dedicating his career to uniting and building upon the entertainment industry, My New Plug owner Bing works to assist a variety of entertainers in carving their own path to success.
Beyond helping music artists build their careers, Bing works to implement a strong mindset into each of his clients as many aspiring musicians face life difficulties that can deter them from fully chasing their dreams. Bing’s focus on providing artists the right mindset ultimately helps them to start generating income and having more peace as he explains, “I teach them the tricks and tips of money-making so that they can achieve different things and fund their music career.”
My New Plug was transformed into a full media and marketing platform after the company’s official website was set up, which created a place for Bing to offer free artist promotions. Many major artists including E-40 and his roster of stars have gone on to work with Bing and My New Plug on strategic ad campaigns. As an entrepreneur, Bing also specializes in marketing services like Facebook and Spotify advertising as well as organizing email blasts and more.
By laying out simple steps to a new direction, Bing and My New Plug make it easy and enjoyable for artists to connect and grow via their platform. Upon his first meeting with a client, Bing has a genuine conversation that guides potential artists towards readjusting their mindset about life and other specific areas so that they will start to strive more.
In regards to the first pitfall that Bing finds many artists falling into, he states, “Artists are not reaching their goals because they are letting go of their desire for it. They might think they have the desire to do it, but there are other things that they desire more that aren’t beneficial.” While Bing admits that he is currently searching for new ways of implementing free marketing techniques that are attractive to aspiring music artists, he largely credits his ability to redirect an artists’ mental space as a contributing element to clients growth under My New Plug.
One of Bing’s major goals when working with his artists is to help them see the value in collaborating with one another. In fact, My New Plug can easily be described as a group of coworking independent artists as Bing states, “I’m building a community of unity. There’s too much competition between local and independent artists for a spot at the label when they could be cross-promoting and making money together.” With hopes of steadily increasing the number of artists within his collective in the future, Bing has expansive plans to work with all areas of entertainment. Bing best describes the span of My New Plug when stating, “My business is not just for artists, but for anybody.”
Oozing charisma and raw talent, Los Angeles based lyricist King Dreams passionately reminds you of his East Coast roots, New Haven, Connecticut to be exact. His laid back vocals contrast perfectly against the gritty instrumental produced by Multi-platinum, Multi-Grammy Award winning Producer MyGuyMars. Dreams' unbreakable confidence bleeds throughout the track, simultaneously serving as raw energy fed through the ears of the listener and straight to the soul. You can't help but to bop to his edgy banger.
Buzzing recording artist Nikea Marie announces the highly anticipated release of her single “I Believe In Me”. The Washington DC based artist recently landed a distribution deal with IndieBlu Music Digital Distribution, apart of the Entertainment One Music Nashville. “I Believe In Me” presents the listener with a new sound that feels like a burst of fresh air.
This beautiful, up tempo and self-affirming song is a special new work for Nikea, and a strong introduction to her artistic sensibility. The artist’s influences set the bar higher in terms of blending different genres, including Gospel, Pop, and R&B. The key to Nikea Marie’s sound is to find the right balance between these different worlds and create something that’s quite unique and utterly one-of-a-kind, unlike anything else out there on the scene today. This personal aspect is what makes Nikea Marie’s music quite endearing, and “I Believe In Me” is no exception, giving listeners a more immersive and characterful experience to enjoy.
