United Music Scene

If you know anything about Pasadena, know this: the local music scene has been striving to unite and nourish a sense of stability for artists native to the region . Over the last 5 years, we've seen great local shows and events cease due in part to the decline of local, native culture. Many people from Pasadena live elsewhere today. It's an interesting statistic as we fight to build a scene that's constantly changing. Don't get it twisted, the pride & culture surrounding DENA, Pasadena, Altadena cannot be hacked. People who grew up here love this place. But, for those who still live here, it's been a challenge to revive what Pasadena is already known for. It's local music scene... Inspiration for the #BringingItTogether movement and Mistah Wilson's mission to help unite the local music scene comes from events like Nic @ Nite when 72 North (venue) was still in effect. Phat Cat's Live @ The Loft really brought out the local music community. It was h...

How many artists out there are frustrated? I mean, let's admit it. Doing the work. Performing the art. Recording the music. Whatever it is as far as production goes IS NO PROBLEM for the artist who has a genuine desire for these type of things. What we are frustrated about the most is the lack of opportunity. When we sincerely give our best out of sheer passion yet lack the means and resources to successfully get our point across. If you take a look around everything that is happening in and around Pasadena, California right now, it's chaos. A circus. Especially in the local politics portal. Aside from how the City of Pasadena poses a constant threat to it's own local culture & heritage in the name of money and taxation, majority of native, local rap artists simply don't embrace what the 'Pasadena Music Scene' has set out to do.  Pasadena artist extraordinaire Bing Bing , whose played a major role on Pasadena's local music scene over the past 8 years, ha...
