Malina Moye
Flipping a Fender Stratocaster upside-down, acclaimed singer/songwriter/lefty guitarist Malina Moye
fills a void in the entertainment industry. Described as a modern day renaissance woman, she’s a
quadruple threat, carving out her own lane in today’s music scene as one of the few artists in history
able to straddle both Rock and Soul genres. Moye’s musical narrative boasts an impressive resume
that includes making history as the first African-American woman to play the National Anthem on
guitar at a professional sporting event, all the way to performing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
tribute concert for music pioneer Chuck Berry. And recently, Moye was praised by Jet Magazine as
“the highlight of the evening” after she headlined the largest peace concert on the west coast with
Chaka Khan honoring the legendary humanitarian Stevie Wonder.
With an electrifying stage show, Moye delivers an intoxicating fusion of funk, and Rock. Her critically
acclaimed LP Diamonds & Guitars reached number 35 on Amazon.com and iTunes respectively
and a number 50 slot on the Billboard album charts, showcasing an eclectic pallet of music while
preserving its mainstream appeal. Abroad and stateside, Moye’s Diamonds & Guitars tour served her
as an opening act with Robin Thicke, and legendary rock group Journey.
A pioneer among the new generation of lead guitarists, Moye is the first left-handed female player
to be included on the legendary Fender Guitars’ impressive roster of endorsees, and to also join
the critically acclaimed 2012 Experience Hendrix tour. Furthermore, the songstress was featured in
the UK documentary “Stratmaster: The Greatest Guitar Story Ever Told,” and Guitar World Magazine
dubbed Moye the “female Jimi Hendrix” and “one of the top 10 female guitarists to know.” UK’s
Blues and Soul Magazine touted Moye as having “…all the ingredients to shake the modern soul
room.” In addition to being on Sony’s writing team, Moye independently released her first R&B
single “Girlfriend” through her WCE Records to great reviews and a number 43 slot on the R&B/HipHop Billboard chart. Then, Moye followed-up with her second single “Alone,” which remained on
the charts for 32 consecutive weeks. “Alone” peaked at no 9 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts
and at number 27 on the hot 100. Rolling stone, Billboard Magazine and some of music’s hottest
names have raved that Moye is “a ground-breaking artist who makes indelible impression.” Moye’s
humanitarian efforts include serving as an ambassador for HRH Prince Charles’ Prince’s Trust for which
she donated her single “Hustler’s Blues” to the Wilberforce 200 compilation CD. The record was one
of the fastest selling soul CD’s on iTunes UK with all proceeds going to the Trust and UNICEF. Cover
girl Malina Moye continues to build a brand name globally, appearing in campaigns like Victoria
Secret’s “Love Rocks” and shoe chain Steve Madden’s Music amongst other retail powerhouses.
Moye is currently finishing her new record entitled Rock ‘N Roll Baby slated for a first quarter release.
The first single, “K-Yotic” featuring Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer Bootsy Collins, delivers the raw energy of
rock coupled with the power of funk.

Katy Perry
Katy Perry cemented her status as a best-selling superstar with the global success of her second studio
album, Teenage Dream, which debuted at #1 in 8 countries and spent over two years on Billboard’s
Top 200 album sales chart. She became the only female artist to have 5 #1 singles from one album on
the Billboard Hot 100 chart (“California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Firework,” “E.T.” and “Last Friday
Night (T.G.I.F.)”). The special edition, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, added “Part of Me”
and “Wide Awake” to Perry’s list of nine Top 40 chart-toppers (dating back to her multi-platinum debut
album, 2008’s One of the Boys, which generated four hit singles: “I Kissed A Girl,” “Hot N Cold,” “Thinking
of You” and “Waking Up In Vegas”). “Roar,” the first single from her new album, PRISM, became Katy
Perry’s 10th #1 Top 40 track after debuting at #1 on iTunes in 68 countries with 557,024 downloads in its
first week of release, the biggest digital song sales week of 2013.
A new threshold, a new light - this is Katy Perry’s
PRISM, a compilation of songs that not only reflect
her inner light, but also refract a colorful and
mesmerizing wave of change in her music and life.
On the heels of 2010’s Grammy-nominated
Teenage Dream, and after what proved to be one
of the most challenging years of her personal life,
Katy Perry’s cotton-candy world took a turn down
a road of self-reflection as she was creating her
new album. “I did a lot of figuring out who I am
and reconnecting with myself and growing,” she
says. “I’ve let a lot of light in, and through that it’s
inspired me to write certain songs that are full of
that wonderful positivity.”
The name, in a sense, says it all. “I feel like a
walking prism. I get to shine a light and beam it
to all of my listeners through my songs. I am really
proud of all of the songs on this record, and every
one says something different. There are a lot of
different colors, a lot of different moods, and a lot
of different emotions. I’ve learned a lot of things
in the past year as I was making it. When I started
writing in November 2012, I was in a much darker
place. You can see the transition I was going
through in the first song I wrote for the record with
Greg Wells, ‘By the Grace of God.’ Then, there
came a point this past year where I needed to
reflect and sit down and be like, ‘Okay, what’s
going on inside of me, and what are some things I
need to get clear and deal with? How can I help
myself get to the next level and grow?’ I guess you
just have to be open and ready for it.”
In the spring, Perry returned to the studio and
her hometown of Santa Barbara, which has
been a bedrock of creativity for her for years.
“That’s where I wrote the song, ‘Teenage Dream,’
and I kind of go back to the essence of myself
out there. I get to reconnect with who I was
when I picked up a guitar at 13 and really
understood why I wanted to contribute to the
music scene. It really brings me back to my roots in
every single way. Music is so powerful and spiritual
- it’s like the sixth sense. It moves people in so many
different ways; it creates memories, it sets the tone,
it sets the scene. Going home makes me forget all
of the distractions and lets me remember myself
just as a musician. I can strip away the make-up
layers a little bit and get to the essential oils of who
I am.” These Santa Barbara sessions, with Perry’s
‘dream team’ of Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Cirkut,
yielded seven of PRISM’s 13 tracks (16 on the
deluxe): “Legendary Lovers,” “Birthday,”
18
360 MAGAZINE
katyperry.com
“Unconditionally,” “Dark Horse,” “International
Smile,” “Ghost,” and Perry’s 10th #1 Top 40 track,
the lead single, “Roar.”
In the summer, Katy Perry brought a new-found
love of 90’s-era deep house music to producers
Max Martin and Klas Ahlund in Stockholm, Sweden,
and the results were club anthem “Walking On
Air” and the hip-hop tinged “This Is How We Do.” “I
was hanging out in Central Park one day with my
DJ friend Mia Moretti, and we came across these
roller skaters just skating around to this deep house
music, and I told Mia, ‘I have to write a song like
that!’ These songs have that Wendy & Lisa meets
CeCe Peniston’s ‘Finally’ meets Crystal Waters’
‘100% Pure Love’ vibe.”
The record also features collaborations with
Bloodshy (“Love Me”), Greg Kurstin and Sia
(“Double Rainbow”), as well as a return to the
studio with “Firework” producers Stargate (“This
Moment”). Perry co-wrote every autobiographical
track. “Being a writer for me is also about being
an observer - observing culture, observing people
and relationships, observing myself and my
feelings. I put all that stuff in there. I write with my
girlfriend Bonnie McKee a lot, but sometimes I
write by myself. The lyrics to my favorite song on
the album, ‘Unconditionally,’ just came to me all
at once. It’s just about me being able to tell my
story completely and with great imagery. It’s kind
of mathematical - this adds, this subtracts - but
in general the theme this time around is just me. I
look at the record as telling my whole story, not just
making sure every song is a hit. And as much as I
enjoyed the candy confection era, I think it’s nice
to get back to my roots for a bit.”

In his landmark project entitled Before They Pass Away, Jimmy Nelson
captures the lives and traditions of the last surviving tribes who have

Jimmy Nelson was born in Sevenoaks, Kent in 1967 and started working as a photographer in 1987.
Having spent 10 years at a Jesuit boarding school in the North of England, he set off on his own to
traverse the length of Tibet on foot. The journey lasted a year, and upon his return his unique visual
diary—which featured revealing images of a previously inaccessible Tibet—was published to wide
international acclaim.
Soon after he was commissioned to cover a variety of culturally newsworthy themes, ranging from the
Russian involvement in Afghanistan and the ongoing strife between India and Pakistan in Kashmir to the
beginning of the war in former Yugoslavia. In early 1994 he and his Dutch wife produced Literary Portraits
of China, a 30-month project that brought them to all the hidden corners of the newly opening People’s
Republic. Upon its completion, the images were exhibited in the People’s Palace on Tiananmen Square,
Beijing, followed by a worldwide tour.
From 1997 onwards, Nelson began to successfully undertake commercial advertising assignments for
many of the world’s leading brands. At the same time, he began accumulating images of remote and
unique cultures photographed with a traditional 50-year-old plate camera. Many awards followed.
When he started to successfully and internationally exhibit and sell these images, this created the
subsequent momentum and enthusiasm for thei nitiation of Before they Pass Away.

Going GaGa
Stella Iman Dugall
Describe the Mother Monster’s red carpet appearances as mere antics or collective memories; it
does not make a difference either way, she has left an impression on most of us. Lady Gaga is a living,
walking canvas equipped with Dre’s Heartbeats speakers blaring “Applause,” the first single off the pop
icon’s third studio album, ARTPOP.
Lady Gaga came to prominence following the release of her debut studio album The Fame (2008),
which sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Her contributions to the music industry have garnished her
with numerous achievements. Some of them include five Grammy Awards amongst fifteen nominations,
thirteen MTV Video Music Awards of twenty-six nominations and the estimated sale of 24 million albums
and 125 million singles worldwide. She has travelled the world on numerous tours including The Fame
Ball (2008), The Monster Ball (2009-2011) and Born This Way Ball (2012-2013). Gaga, not only killing it as a
recording artist, has earned an Emmy Award for an HBO television special titled “Lady Gaga Presents
the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden” amongst its five nominations. Her second studio
album, Born This Way, broke the iTunes record for the fastest rise to # 1 on release day. In 2013, Time
Magazine named her the second most influential person of the decade. With over 2.2 billion combined
views of all her videos online, Time Magazine certainly has not made an overstatement. Lady Gaga is
one of the biggest living people in social media having over 58 million likes on Facebook and over 39
million followers on Twitter and counting…
It is no secret that Gaga is a global activist and philanthropist, having been an outspoken supporter
of many important issues including LGBT rights, HIV/AIDS awareness, body image issues, and youth
empowerment. She will even reach out per Twitter – “@dakota_jay66: ‘Applause’ by Lady Gaga is
actually a good song. And I’m sorry if that sounds gay, I just usually don’t like new music.” “@LadyGaga:
it’s not gay @dakota_jay66 you were born this way.”
In 2011, she launched her own Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to empowering youth
and creating a kinder and braver world. She also recently built and launched a social network just for
her fans, LittleMonsters.com. Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark
with her first two hits, “Poker Face” and “Just Dance.”

Natalia Kills
Natalia Kills was born in Bradford, an unglamorous industrial
town in the north of England. Raised by a Jamaican father and
Uruguayan mother, the family was constantly moving from city
to city, shifting between their luxury homes in England, Jamaica
and Spain. But after her father’s arrest and imprisonment, her
penthouse-to-pavement story truly began.
“My teenage years were spent trying to survive in London on
my own and rebelling against the abnormality,” she says. “I
tried to grow up too fast and create some stability, but I always
got it wrong. I had left home, gotten in a horrible relationship,
quit my job, run away to Paris, joined a cult, signed a bad
record deal, been taken away in the back of police cars, tried
to burn my house down and dreamed of ending it all. And I
hadn’t even turned 18!”
Flat broke, three years later, she moved to the United States to
continue making music and, after living in run-down Hollywood
motels, selling her own clothes to get by and relentlessly
writing her life away, she had a chance to meet the Grammywinning hit maker, will.i.am who instantly recognized Kills’
talent and determination, and signed her to his imprint at
Interscope Records.
In 2011, after partnering with Cherrytree Records (Ellie
Goulding, La Roux, Robyn, Far East Movement), Natalia
Kills released her debut album, Perfectionist, which
spawned 2 top 10 hits in Europe and over 750,000 singles
in sales. Kills then went on touring the world with Katy
Perry, Bruno Mars and The Black Eyed Peas, eventually
scoring her own headlining tour in Europe.
reveals. “I listen to dive in,” listing Hole, Marilyn Manson, and Eminem among her favorite artists to whom
she grew up listening.
In reflecting on one of Trouble’s more wistful tracks, the sweet and breezy “Outta Time,” which she
wrote for “every boy who ever loved me and tried to save me,” she declares herself “un-savable.”
“Saturday Night” is a soaring, emotional ode to her troubled family and a frantic attempt to regain the
happy childhood she never had; the tune cuts deep with self-reassuring lyrics that swallow her denial
and desperation.
“Finally I’m not looking for forgiveness,” says Kills. “Rather, I’m at a place where it means more to own
up to all the wrong things I’ve done and to bring some kind of power to them. The point of writing
Trouble is to turn the worst bits of my life into what will be the best ones.”
nataliakills.com
Her latest album Trouble was written and recorded in
collaboration with renowned producers Jeff Bhasker
(Kanye West, Jay Z, fun.) and Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey,
Kid Cudi, Eminem). The record combines Kills’ razor-sharp
lyrics with her unique and robust vocal delivery, propelling
her music into even wilder territory than that on her debut.
With its beautifully crashing drums over lonely screeching
vocals and apocalyptic guitars, Trouble is a defiant
middle finger to wasted youth and disenchantment as
Kills depicts each of the personal tales with a brutally
palpable intensity. “I don’t listen to music to let go,” she

The Global
Poverty Project
In proud partnership with the Cotton On Foundation, held the 2013 Global Citizen Festival on the Great
Lawn of Central Park in New York City. This year’s Festival, headlined by Stevie Wonder, Kings of Leon,
Alicia Keys and John Mayer, with special guest performances by Elvis Costello and Janelle Monáe,
called on world leaders to accelerate progress on education, women’s equality, global health, and
global partnerships.
Throughout the campaign, Global Citizens took over 900,000 actions to spur world leaders to accelerate
progress toward ending extreme poverty by 2030. As a result, world leaders, major corporations and
multi-lateral organizations heard the call of Global Citizens around the world and announced major
commitments to furthering the movement to end extreme poverty.
Sabor Latino
Sabor Latino is a Spanish hip hop artist who recently came out with an album titled Observaciones de
mi Vida (‘Observations of my Life’), Vol.1. As Sabor Latino was growing up in the the south of Jamaica,
Queens in New York, he became interested in music at the age of 12. During this time in junior high/high
school Sabor Latino began writing poems of what he saw on a daily basis. He wrote poems about life
struggles, education, and emotions. As he started to show his poems to family, teachers and friends, the
reaction Sabor Latino received only gave him more motivation to continue writing poems as he started
to realize that powerful words help in motivating individuals. In high school Sabor Latino began to take
music more seriously and eventually thought of putting out an album. He first decided to go to college
and become a better writer and an excellent student. After going to college and graduating with as
Bachelor’s degree in education/psychology, Sabor Latino started to working as a social work for a foster
care agency.
As he saw the daily hardships that the youth went through, such as poverty, a sense of rejection and
lack of leadership, that motivated Sabor Latino more to finally figure out a way to come out with an
album that can help not only the youth, parents, and teachers, but also everyone one else that needs
motivation, leader ship, and direction. After putting together his album Observaciones de Mi Vida,
Vol. 1 consisting of eight songs and two spoken word poems (the intro and the outro), Latino went to
Manhattan’s JAMBOX Entertainment to record the album.
60,000 people joined the socially conscious musicians, celebrities, world leaders, including the UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the President of the World Bank, Jim Yong King, leading NGO
partners, dignitaries and philanthropists while millions viewed online, to urge world leaders to take action
towards ending extreme poverty by 2030.
The 2013 Festival built on the success of last year’s Festival, where non-profit partners announced a total
of $1.3 billion in new fundraising commitments that will have a direct impact on the world’s poor over
the next four years. Tickets for the concert were earned through the Global Citizen platform, where

Avril
Lavigne
Eiko Watanabe
Avril Lavigne is back at the top of her game with her fifth studio
album: Avril Lavigne. “My new album shows all the different styles
of music that I have gone to, touched on and recorded in the
past and new ones,” says Lavigne. “The album is very diverse;
it’s all over the place. There is a rock song. There’s a pop song.
There’s a ballad. There’s a very raw, hippie style. And, one song is
electronic.”
This electronic song is “Hello Kitty,” on which she sings partially in
Japanese. “I say, ‘minna saiko (you guys rock),’ ‘arigato (thank
you),’ ‘kawaii (cute)’ in Japanese. And, it makes me think of
all the times that I’ve been to Japan and all the fans. The song
‘Hello Kitty’ really just comes from my love for the brand and the
character of Hello Kitty,” Lavigne explains of the song.
Interestingly, the familiar lyric line in “Girlfriend” from her 2007’s
The Best Damn Thing – “I am the motherf**king princess.” –
appears again in “Rock N Roll” on the new self-titled album. “I
did that on purpose. It’s an expression that happened naturally.
It’s me being silly by saying, ‘I am the motherf**king princess!’
Because I say, ‘I am the motherf**king princess. You still love
64
360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 65
it.’ – Like, you still love ‘it,’ meaning that I’m doing music again,”
Lavigne exclaims, buzzing with excitement.
“I worked with all new people on my new record, and I’ve made
very good relationships with them so I will probably work with
them again on my next record,” adds Lavigne. One of ‘them’ is,
of course, Nickelback’s frontman, Chad Kroeger who Lavigne
married on this year’s Canada Day, July 1st. “It was very natural.
When we started dating, we knew right away that we wanted to
get married so we did. Like, we met a long, long, long, long time
ago when I was very young, but I don’t even really remember.
Well, I guess we met at the MuchMusic [Video] Awards in Canada
in 2003, or 2004,” clarifies Lavigne. “But we met ‘really’ when he
came to work with me in Los Angeles in the studio. He came to
write one song with me, and then it turned into making the whole
records to each other, pretty much.”
Avril Lavigne doesn’t want to talk about Deryck Whibley, Sum
41 or anything related, but she affirms that she could totally
see herself getting married again at some point in life when her
previous three-year-marriage to Whibley was over in 2009.
Back in 2002, the headstrong 17-year-old Avril Lavigne’s breakout
was beyond spectacular with her debut Let Go, having sold over
17 million copies worldwide. But, she only found herself completely
wrapped up with a ridiculous amount of work in a rush mode.
“I was just so focused on traveling and where I had to go, what
I had to do, and working, working, working, work, work, work. I
was too young to realize what I was achieving at that time,”
Lavigne confesses.
Avril Lavigne stated in a 2003 interview that she didn’t appreciate
being called fake or punk, she didn’t think people would
understand what it felt like to be in her shoes, and she thought
the music industry was messed up (“That’s probably a really bad
interview,” she acknowledges with a laugh). “I think that there’s
a label. People label me a punk rock princess or a pop princess,
and I think it’s very flattering and I like it. When I was very young,
I didn’t really know what that meant. Now, I just think it’s cool,”
says Lavigne.
“I was always myself and today, I’m always myself. It’s the
biggest challenge to be yourself doing what we do in music.
And sometimes, there’s a trend but you’ve got to just be yourself.
I’m just a normal human being, and I’m a musician. And, I love
rock’n’roll. I love music. And, I love to have a good time,” Lavigne
confidently states, deeply thinking of the fierce journey that’s 11
year long and counting.
Lavigne’s future endeavors also include new pieces from
her clothing line Abbey Dawn, and The Avril Lavigne
Foundation in support of children and youth living with serious
illnesses or disabilities.

Mack Wilds
They say you never forget your first love; when Mack Wilds first fell in love, he fell hard. “The city is like a beautiful struggle, a
place where roses grow through the concrete” the 24-year old singer says of his native New York City, which is the inspiration for
his debut LP New York: A Love Story.
Tristan Paul Mack Wilds is best known for his acting roles as Michael Lee and Dixon Wilson on HBO’s “The Wire” and CW’s
“90210” respectively, but before he hit Hollywood, Wilds dreamed of a career in music. “I don’t remember a time in my life when
music wasn’t a factor in my life,” the Staten Island product says. “I was immersed in what music was in the ’90s. Everything we
heard in hip-hop, I could look outside of my window in the projects and see it going on.”
Growing up, Wilds saw his father sing in local bands. He looked to follow in his dad’s footsteps by practicing around their home
in Stapleton housing projects, the same housing projects that produced numerous members of Wu-Tang Clan. Wilds’ earliest
music influences were Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, but he also took to hip-hop idolizing MCs like Jay Z and Nas.
At around the age of 13, after puberty hit, Wilds noticed his voice began to change and he then added rapping to his
repertoire. “The music has always been my first love,” he says, even though his teenage years were spent acting on television
and in films like 2008’s “The Secret Life of Bees” with Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning and in 2012’s “Red Tails” alongside
Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard.
“Even with all of the accomplishments, I still feel like I haven’t scratched the surface of where I’m supposed to be,” Wilds says.
Mack Wilds hooked up with Grammy-nominated music producer Salaam Remi in 2012 and signed with his Sony-distributed Re Mi
Fa record label. Together the two recorded New York: A Love Story, a 1990s hip-hop-centered, R&B-laced tale of love and loss.
The album’s first single “Own It” is produced by Remi and written by Wilds and R&B superstar Ne-Yo. Backed by a kinetic drum
track and a feel-good groove “Own It” is reminiscent of a throwback party when hip-hop was fresh, new and exciting. Wilds
complements the boom-bap with his whispers of sweet nothings to his dream girl, with promises of a lavish life.
The flirtatious thump of “Henny” and the seductive allure of “My Crib” both provide balance mixing calming melodies over
harden hip-hop sound beds. While New York: A Love Story weaves a romantic tale, sonically it’s a nostalgic reminder of the Big
Apple’s most defining sounds - suited for 2013 of course.

Sir Paul
McCartney
A 17-time Grammy winner and recipient of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement and
Trustees Awards, Sir Paul McCartney’s list of accolades reads like no other.
His last year’s adventure was Kisses On The Bottom, a collection of standards beloved to him since
childhood as well as two new McCartney compositions “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts.” Created
with the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band - as
well as guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder - Kisses On The Bottom was the first
record in McCartney’s historic oeuvre to feature him almost exclusively on vocals. With the exception of
a bit of acoustic guitar on two tracks, his sole instrument on Kisses On The Bottom was that unmistakable
voice at its most intimate and unadorned.
The world has recently seen the release of McCartney’s first album of brand NEW solo material in six
years since 2007’s acclaimed Memory Almost Full. Talking about the album, McCartney said, “It’s funny,
when I play people the album, they’re surprised it’s me. A lot of the tracks are quite varied and not
necessarily in a style you’d recognize as mine. I didn’t want it to all sound the same. I really enjoyed
making this album. It’s always great to get a chance to get into the studio with a bunch of new songs
and I was lucky to work with some very cool producers. We had a lot of fun.”
McCartney worked on NEW with producers Paul Epworth, Mark Ronson, Ethan Johns and Giles Martin.
The album was recorded at Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Avatar Studios, New York; Abbey
Road Studios, London; Air Studios, London; Wolf Tone Studios, London and Hog Hill Mill, East Sussex.
“The original idea was to go to a couple of producers whose work I loved, to see who I got on with best
- but it turned out I got on with all of them! We made something really different with each producer,
so I couldn’t choose and ended up working with all four. We just had a good time in different ways,”
McCartney commented of the process.
Being born in Liverpool on June 18, 1942, McCartney was raised in the city and educated at the
Liverpool Institute. Having changed the world of music forever with The Beatles, McCartney has
continued to push boundaries for over 40 years.
Since writing his first song at the age of 14, McCartney has always followed his own unique muse while
changing the course of musical history. It’s borderline ludicrous to attempt to describe the past, present
and future impact of The Beatles and their legendary albums Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard
Day’s Night, Beatles For Sale, Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The
Beatles (a/k/a The White Album), Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be, so suffice to say that The
Beatles’ 1 compilation was the biggest selling album of the first new millennial decade of 2000 - 2010.
He is also an accomplished classical composer, with works ranging from 2011’s Ocean’s Kingdom score
to 1991’s Liverpool Oratorio, 1997’s Standing Stone, 1999’s Working Classical, and 2006’s Ecce Cor Meum,
which took Best Album honors at the 2007 Classical Brit Awards.
McCartney’s many other citations have included the 2008 Brit award for Outstanding Contribution to
Music, an honorary doctorate of music from Yale University, his 1999 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame, and being knighted in 1996 by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to music.
In June 2010, he performed in front of President Barack Obama and his family while becoming the firstever British recipient of the prestigious Gershwin Prize For Popular Song. He returned to the White House
in December of that year (where even the President joked about McCartney becoming a regular) to
receive a Kennedy Center Honor.

360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 81
2012 saw McCartney adding MusiCares Person of the Year to this unrivalled
list, the award recognizing both his incomparable creative achievements
and his lifelong commitment to charitable work, which includes decades’
worth of philanthropic activities for PETA, LIPA, One Voice, The Vegetarian
Society, Nordoff Robins and Adopt-A-Mine-Field - not to mention his
participation in historic benefit concerts including Live Aid in 1985, The
Concert for New York City in 2001, and Live 8 in 2005.
While last year marked 40 years since McCartney’s premier tour as a solo
artist, he’s currently on Out There! Tour, which has witnessed McCartney and
his band travel the world throughout the year, even visiting some places they
had never been before. The tour has also featured music from one of the
best loved catalogues in popular music. McCartney has performed songs
that span his entire career - as a solo artist, member of Wings and, of course,
as a Beatle.
With a reputation for live performance that rivals his songwriting prowess, McCartney has spent much of the last
several years performing sold out concerts to literally millions
of people the world over to universal rave reviews.
The McCartney live experience is a once in a lifetime
opportunity; in just three hours some of the greatest moments
in music from the last 50 years are re-lived and for many
have become the soundtrack to living.
All of us have already seen an infinite set of new possibilities
for Sir Paul McCartney. If any new musical frontier awaits be it an entirely new musical medium or genre, a city or song
he’s never played before, or something the cleverest among
us has yet to imagine - rest assured McCartney is already on
his way there, just as McCartney sings on the NEW album’s
title track, “We can do what we want, we can live as
we choose.”

Rolls-Royce Wraith
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is proud to confirm the arrival of the first Wraith in the United States, and a coastto-coast tour taking in 22 cities. The Rolls-Royce Wraith will present its unique character, defined by
power, style and drama, through a series of stops at dealerships throughout the US. Allowing customers
to get behind the wheel at these ride-and-drive events, drivers will experience Rolls-Royce’s hallmark
attributes of luxury, refinement and hand-craftsmanship. Launched at the New York Auto Show in March
2013, Wraith is the most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce ever to bear the famous Spirit of Ecstasy
hood ornament. Featuring a dramatic, yet elegant fastback design, the new model is expected to bring
new customers to Rolls-Royce, helping redefine a brand with a rich 109 year history.
“I am delighted that we are introducing the highly anticipated first Rolls-Royce Wraith,” commented Eric
C. Shepherd, Regional Director for North America for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Rolls-Royce is a brand
defined by British hand-craftsmanship, rooted in the highest measures of luxury, quality and attention to
detail. Our discerning clients will be lulled by the car’s performance and agility, both of which will deliver
on the promise of dramatic exterior styling.”
• Elegant fastback design points to most powerful Rolls-Royce in history: 624 bhp and
590 ft lbs torque from 1,500 rpm : 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds (100 kp/h in 4.6)
• Satellite Aided Transmission reads the road ahead, using GPS mapping to ensure
correct gear is always pre-selected

“By sensationalizing a feeling of adventure and innovation, we believe Rolls-Royce Wraith would be
the chosen vehicle of our great founding forefather, The Honourable Charles Rolls, if he were alive
today,” commented Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “The United States was built on
its pioneering spirit, which is why I believe that this market will be Wraith’s most enthusiastic in the years
ahead. I look forward to welcoming more new customers to the Rolls-Royce family.”
Wraith’s sweeping fastback gives the car its unique character. Bold lines, tension in the panels and a
raked rear screen evoke the image of an athlete poised in the starting blocks. Further expression of
dynamic intent can be seen in Wraith’s deeply recessed grill and wide rear track.
Coach doors open to reveal a sumptuous interior complete with softest Phantom-grade leathers and
expanses of wood. Named after the famous cove in the South of France where Sir Henry Royce and his
design and engineering teams spent their winters, the Canadel finish sweeps through the contemporary
interior, cosseting four occupants in a space bathed in light and warmth.
The interior ambiance is complemented by Starlight Headliner, a Bespoke feature available beyond
Phantom family cars for the first time. 1,340 fiber optic lamps are hand-woven into the roof lining to give
the impression of a glittering, starry night sky.
• Voice activated connectivity augments effortlessness - the ‘on-board valet’
• Fully four-seat configuration and a sumptuous, contemporary and yacht-like cabin

Singer, rapper and songwriter Cher Lloyd is
already a star in her native U.K. thanks to a string
of buzzed-about performances on Britain’s version
of The X Factor, a No. 1 debut single (“Swagger
Jagger”), and a well-received album (Sticks &
Stones) that shot to No. 4 on the UK chart. And
with the release of her first U.S. single “Want U
Back” — a cheeky slice of alternative urban pop
that the Huffington Post said “sounds like an instant
summer radio hit” — it’s easy to see why. As the
New York Times put it: “…she’s the future.”
An outspoken, determined individualist who has
talent to back up the confident attitude, Lloyd
has that intangible quality that draws people in,
as well as the rare ability to straddle the evershifting line between commercial and credible.
The notoriously tough-to-please Simon Cowell
saw it for himself when Lloyd was a contestant
on The X Factor and signed her to his Syco Music
label, which released Sticks & Stones in the UK in
2011. Lloyd was signed by Epic Records head L.A.
Reid when the music executive noticed her at a
sound check for The X Factor USA, beckoned her
over to meet him, and told her she was a star.
“He didn’t even know who I was,” Lloyd says with
amazement. The next day she found
110
360 MAGAZINE
out that Reid had tapped her for Epic, which
eventually released the U.S. version of Sticks &
Stones with several brand-new tracks last year.
Lloyd’s dynamic voice and considerable
songwriting talent have also enticed a host of
heavy-hitters to want to work with her, including
songwriter and friend Savan Kotecha whom
she credits with introducing her to other Sticks &
Stones collaborators Max Martin (Britney Spears,
Katy Perry), RedOne (Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez),
Shellback (P!nk, Maroon 5), and Kevin Rudolph (Lil
Wayne). “Savan and I sat down and figured out
what suited me best,” Lloyd says. “Then we took
everything I’ve ever wanted to do musically but
wasn’t sure about and tried it anyway. That’s why
the album sounds a bit like a jukebox. Each track is
different; there’s just a massive amount of variety.”
Lloyd was involved in every creative decision,
co-writing a number of songs during sessions in
the U.S., Britain, and Sweden. Despite working with
huge hitmakers, she made sure her ideas were
put across. “Simon and L.A. trusted me,” she says.
“They never set any rules or said, ‘You’re going to
do this’ or ‘You’re going to sing that.’ They gave
me freedom, so I just did what I wanted to do.”
The result is a collection of contemporary,
street-wise pop gems that are both frank and
playful, including “Want U Back,” second UK
single “With Ur Love” (featuring Mike Posner),
the dubstep-fueled “Dub on the Track,” and the
RedOne-produced “Playa Boi,” which reworks the
lyrics of the Neneh Cherry classic “Buffalo Stance” and
samples its unmistakable hook. Lloyd also proves she
can handle emotional ballads with “Beautiful People,”
on which she teams up with Chad Wolf of South
Carolina alt-rock band Carolina Liar. “I don’t believe
that I have to stay completely pop or just sing ballads,”
she says. “If you’ve got a recognizable voice, you can
sing any style and people will know it’s you. I believe
the song shouldn’t take over the artist. The artist should
take over the song.”
Lloyd’s self-assuredness about her talent was hardwon. Growing up in the small town of Malvern, in
England’s Worcestershire region, Lloyd knew she could
sing from a young age, but didn’t perform for anyone
until she was ten. “I was very shy about it,” she says. “I
was a very quiet person. I struggled with being able
to actually speak around people.” But eventually
the need to be heard won out. “I come from a huge
family and I always felt overshadowed,” she says.
“People didn’t necessarily want to listen to what I had
to say. I was always the girl in the background. So
being onstage performing was my way of saying, ‘It’s
my turn to be heard now.’”
Driven to become a performer, Lloyd began checking
out blogs, digital radio stations, and YouTube, where
she discovered other aspiring artists posting videos
of themselves singing hit songs. “I didn’t have the
technology to post my own, or I would have, but I
watched people get their success and I wanted the
same thing,” she says. Inspired by Nicki Minaj, and
Lil Wayne, Lloyd wanted to rap as well as sing and
began practicing for hours at home in her bedroom.
She decided to try out for The X Factor when auditions
were held in nearby Birmingham. “There were so
many people there,” she recalls. “I looked around and
thought, ‘This isn’t for me. I don’t want to be queuing
up to be told no.’ Because I hate being told no. But in
the end I went for it because I don’t give up.”
That determination sealed her fate. After finishing third
runner up, Lloyd joined the “The X Factor Live” Tour,
performing for half a million people throughout the
UK in 2011 and earning a legion of devoted fans who
call themselves “brats.” This past spring, she hit the
road for the headlining UK Sticks & Stones Tour, which
has clearly been one of her favorite endeavors so far.
“When I get onstage, that’s it,” she says. “It’s the one
moment I can have with the audience where I’m not
thinking about anything else. That’s what I love. It’s the
reason I do this and why I’ve made this my job, so I
can sing live.”
Now Lloyd is looking forward to making her mark in
the music industry with her forthcoming second studio
album, Sorry I’m Late. “The U.S. is a big deal,” she says.
“It’s a bigger field for me to play in and I like that. I love
a challenge. I will never reach that level where I can
completely say, ‘Oh, I’ve done it. I’m a star.’ It’s never
going to happen. There will always be something
bigger and better that I want to achieve.”
