Hey guys,

Today we are featuring Per Capita's Ya Za! The Nashville native has risen in popularity as of late through her prolific musical endeavors, her full steam ahead "never take no for an answer" approach, the latest album Bipolar In Stereo Full Length album and we could go on.  Per Capita is ecstatic to bring you three projects from Ya Za released currently and we highly suggest you follow some of the links below to more of her music. We may be lucky enough to bring you some new material from Ya Za by summer! Jus sayin, be ready. As Always, help support what we do by following Per Capita Records on twitter and facebook! To the musiQ!   
 
"Born and raised in the “Music City,” Nashville, TN, the multi-dimensional, multi-talented, multi genre singer/songwriter, Ilyasin “Ya Za” Zarifa is a reflection of musical diversity. 
When ask what her style of music is, one can simply say “well rounded”, in the sense that she can transfer any style of music she brings into popular music, drawing a spectrum of domestic and international listeners and fans. Ya Za is an easy going vocalist that pulls the listeners in with her clever lyrical concepts and a unique, sweet, yet demanding voice. Whether expressing through seduction or through pain, she has the ability to make the listener feel how the words connect to the emotions throughout …"

"Ya Za might be the most proactive, civic-minded musician in the whole damn city. Not only did she make the We Will Not Ignore: Songs in the Key of Humanity Haiti benefit album happen, but before the rain even stopped coming down on our fair city, she had already begun organizing a benefit for the victims of the Nashville flood. While the details are still being worked out, we're pretty confident that the end result will be just as powerful and invigorating as the music that she makes for herself."—  Sean Maloney, Nashville Scene

Sharon Lang, aka Sharone Digitale took big honors amongst some of the most notable bands of the year on independent radio. Just last week, the popular single "Hedonist" from Lovers And Thieves made its way onto the Top 50 Spins of 2010, picked by listeners worldwide.

Per Capita Records' Ya Za fell victim to a vicious hacker attack on her personal sites and public sites. We don't really get why these clowns aren't spending their time in a more productive manner, but rest assured their operations are being tracked down via IP address investigation. This is being taken very seriously by all parties involved and we will get to the bottom of it. What we realllly need right now is for the supporters of Ya Za to group together and help her build back the fan page.  If you would please help us out and take a second to ad the fan page, Ya Za & Per Capita would greatly appreciate your kindness. You could take it a few Karma points higher and suggest it or any of Ya Za's music to some of your friends.  Do this, and we'll be back on track stronger than before and in no time this will all be forgotten. Many thanks for your help!

Per Capita Record's Jazz catalogue proudly features Nashville's dearest Rachel Pearl. 2010 has definitely been a major year for Rachel Pearl. Almost as soon as Rachel picked up the ukulele earlier this year and began broadcasting songs she'd written on the ukulele to her youtube channel audience, she received two major endorsements with renowned instrument kings Kala Ukulele and Luna Guitars. Not to mention, Rachel's steadily updated youtube channel is drawing users in by the thousands from every continent.

Rachel released two albums in 2010 on Per Capita, "Love Extravagantly" (re-release) and "Keepin' It Old School" while she was on the road & spending many a night crooning under the stars to delighted guests of her live show. Rachel performs locally often, most recently at one of Nashville's favorite dining and music digs, Sambucca. We urge to you check out Rachel Pearl's videos online and look for her music wherever you purchase it, because you won't leave empty-handed.

This year's Nashville Scene "Top 10 Artists to watch for in 2010" critic's pick, Ya Za, has released two momentus projects on Per Capita Records in 2010.  Or actually three, including a third full length charity album "We Will Not Ignore - Songs in the Key of Humanity."  Ya Za executive produced the project with Per Capita labelmate Jonathan Winstead, organizing all of the special appearances on the record from many of Nashville's favorite artists.
