VMS News: Bluemonk Rau : Left off Rte 66, Right into SL- Pen Dragon Reporting...

Many Second Life artists can lay claim to performing their music for live audiences in the real world,  but few can say they have worked with some of the biggest venues and artists in their genre. Fewer artists still can boast 40 years as both a professional performer and recording artist.  Even fewer have the honor of being a founding member of a band that was once voted “L.A.'s Entertainer of the year.” Bluemonk Rau can say all of this and more of himself and his career

VMS News: Saintess Larnia in her Own Words- Thiza Ember Reporting...

The Support
I do remember my first concert at JLC Live. Jay Hurikan gave me my first break, owner of Virtual Music Services! It was mainly acoustic musicians and lots of regular performances. I had totally planned to sing in Second Life - that was my reason for coming here. My music career here is 100% supported by various people and without them; my career wouldn’t be the same. The teams that help me are my manager Lingual Markus, my assistants Teagan Sapphire.

Owen Landar & Tilly Morgath. The massive support from my fan group Saintess Souls who come to many gigs of mine sometimes twice in the same day! It can be very stressful to manage yourself alone.

Steely Decosta is a talented musician hailing from the state of Kentucky. I attended his show for the first time at VirtualMusic Services, and was impressed with his vocals and guitar skills.
