Jamie Lynn Noon: 

I “found” this young lady, in a kind of “accident”. I had received a friend request, just this morning, from a glamour model named, “Sammie”. Before I accepted it, I went to look at her site to see what I could find out about why she had sent it. 

Though it happens less, one may occasionally get these requests for people with…let’s say…”Photos For Sale”, and leave it at that. However, for reasons that escaped me at the time, she was on the up and up, had more ‘Friends’ than I did, and had been a MySpace member for a while. 

I sent her a nice message, making sure she understood who she had “friended”. Suggested if there was anything specific I could assist with, to let me know, and welcomed her as a ‘Friend’. As I looked back over her site’s ‘Friend List’, I noticed this young lady’s Avatar, checked it out, and was enthralled at what I had found. 

I wish there had been more, video wise, but there’s enough to “whet your appetite, not to mention a download available for free and one that raises money for Leukemia Research. She’s a talent to appreciate now, but also to “keep an eye on” in the future. If you don’t take the time to go listen to her songs on her page players, you will be missing a treat…Honest. 

‘Cause, friends, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” 

Note, once again, aside from the Song List at the end of Chris Key's story, the links are scattered throughout the stories.

From Her Website Bio: Angels Spoke EP Press Release: 12/14/10

Hot on the heels of her dynamic debut EP, "A Moment to Break," California artist Jamie Lynn Noon is releasing her eagerly awaited follow-up, Angels Spoke, available now through major digital download outlets. And Jamie is primed to have another hit EP to her credit, with Angels Spoke released just as the singer-songwriter debuted at No. 25 on Billboard's new Social 50 Chart. Her charting feat is accompanied by a prominent feature article in Billboard Magazine (26 February 2011), chronicling Jamie's musical success on numerous social networking sites. Though she is releasing Angels Spoke independently, it is already making a remarkable impact on her old and new fans alike via Jamie's Internet social media engagement. 

For Angels Spoke, Jamie Lynn Noon has assembled a collection of uplifting and melodic gems very much in the vein of her debut release. "This new record evolved organically from my first EP," says Jamie. "I specifically picked songs that were similar in style and mood to what my fans have come to expect from me." And while the EP's six songs deal with introspective vantage points on forgiveness in relationships and hope in the face of tragedy, the inspirational themes are wonderfully couched in Jamie's signature breezy California singer-songwriter melodies that go down like a cool drink on a hot summer's day. From the delicately steadfast opener, "Secret Power," through the irresistibly catchy hooks of "Like A Meteor", “The Second Of A Spark” and "Take Me Home," Angels Spoke is a touchingly autobiographical snapshot of Jamie's world - one that rewards listeners more musically and lyrically with each listen. Jamie's songs evoke chanteuses ranging from Chantal Kreviazuk to Linda Perry and Carly Simon at her peak. 

Angels Spoke also serves as a summary of the multitude of success that Jamie Lynn Noon has experienced over the last couple of years. Aside from the notice awarded her debut EP, Jamie's haunting version of "Silent Night" was featured on iTunes at Christmas time and she has had songs spotlighted on television shows including "All My Children" and "The Real World." Keeping in tune with some of the music industry's savviest artists, Jamie recently made the move from California's San Francisco Bay Area down to Los Angeles in order to focus her attention on the publishing side of the business, establishing her as a multi-faceted musical force. Jamie has even launched an iPhone app that will help her fans follow her across her social media sites and keep track of all the activities that the singer-songwriter somehow manages to juggle. 

"I wanted to do another EP specifically for the fans," declares Jamie. "I chose songs that are personal and mean a lot to me, but which would also really appeal to those who enjoyed 'A Moment to Break'." And, with the prominent song placement that Jamie has seen in recent days, it appears that Angels Spoke is already on its way to positioning Jamie Lynn Noon as an industry powerhouse in the publishing arena - and as a household name for her uniquely poignant and powerful work, which far belies the young artist's years. Angels Spoke is both a beautiful collection of unforgettably touching songs and the next chapter in the career of one of contemporary music's most talented rising stars.

Chris Keys:

Synchronicity runs deep. Shortly after I had spent a little time getting an overview on Jamie Lynn Noon, I got ANOTHER “Friend Request” from Chris. 

I do get many requests from singers, bands, and performers, but truthfully not many from any that simply go by a first name. But hey…I’m nothing if not fair about things, so like “Sammie”, I went to find out who he was and “what was shakin’”. 

WELLLLL!...I was definitely in for surprise number two of the day. Not only was Chris Keys an “A-List” Singer-Songwriter, but his depth and presentation was of the kind of quality that was like getting a chance to preview Springsteen before he was “known”. 

Am I saying Chris is exactly like Springsteen? Not at all, but his voice, his way around a melody line, the simplicity of his “hooks”, and the story quality of his works DOES make you think of Springsteen. I’m pretty sure “The Boss” would like this guy. 

Their backgrounds are actually similar. Springsteen grew up on the Jersey shore in an “edgy” kind of environment. He kept that edge and sowed it into his music. 

Chris grew up in Belfast. I think that would pass as an ‘edgy’ kind of environment, as well. Chris’s take on life is a little gentler, but you can still hear Belfast in his voice and words, just like Jersey can’t ever be “exorcised” from Springsteen.

I’m a singer / songwriter from Northern Ireland currently living outside Belfast. I write, record and produce all my music in a basic home studio. Hopefully one day this bio will read ... 'Hi, I’m Chris Keys, I live in L.A. and record all my music at Capitol Studios. I started playing the guitar at the age of 14. I was hooked and knew music would play a major part in my life. I hope you enjoy these tunes & live videos as much as I have enjoyed putting them together.
