Recap: Intern Showcase @ Webster Hall NYC Posted on November 17, 2011November 26, 2011 By Mina SayWhat Last Night (Nov. 16th), I hosted a new artist showcase “Intern showcase” at Webster Hall in NYC and i must admit i was very surprised with all the excellent talent that touched that stage. Performers included Ryann, Beano, Tyler James, Kris Kasanova, Cocoa Sarai and A. Lewins (all which had full bands). Out of all the performers i was most impressed with Cocoa Sarai. Not only did she pack that place out, but she bought a bangin show! Her performance, stage presence, crowd interaction and fearlessness really impressed me. She even jumped in the crowd and then climbed on the bar! I learned that she has opened for Rick Ross at the Paradise Theater in NY and that she’s released a new single “Raining In My Room” via Vibe Vixen.

He’s appeared on NBC 10 in Philly and NBC 6 in Miami. Here ‘s a redone duo with Tyler and Amy Winehouse’s “Best For Me.” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqgkPs9lAQk[/youtube] Kris Kasanova is on his way to be a household name. A Red Hook Brooklyn Native he’s opened for MMG’s Pill and his album “War Paint” is available online now.
