Tina Estes

Tina Estes was the last minute replacement for Obadiah Parker, but you wouldn't know it by her performance, she fit in with the evening perfectly and really took to the storytelling side of the event, explaining what her songs were about. She was also magnificently personable and the crowd warmed to her instantly. At first it was just her on the guitar, but soon Tobie Milford joined in to beautifully accompany her with his violin which included a fantastic reggae number inspired by Bob Marley. The most amazing thing is that she has only played guitar for three years and it seemed completely natural! Her set was filled with wonders such as "Last Time" about the karmic return of lovers playing the game and getting played, a beautiful ballad that showed off the range of her voice called "September" and when she switched to piano, a soulful song called "Rachmaninoff" that was inspired by the works of the composer with the powerful refrain "why don't you see me?" Her set was a stunner and I can't wait to hear more from this artist. - Mitchell Hillman

A "Dream Catcher" is one who finds and fulfills their purpose and passion. They don't just dream or chase dreams, they persevere and catch their dreams. Life will give you ups and downs but like Singer/Musician Tina Estes, you must never give up, and bring that dream to fruition. You'll be encouraged by this!

Tina is very proud of all that she has accomplished; her most prized achievement being her role as a mother. As a mother of three, she admits that balance is not easy, however it is attainable. While raising children who have consistently remained on Honor Roll and attained awards for Great Character and Perfect Attendance, she maintains the importance of investing in her children and always being aware of their needs in the midst of a full professional career.

If it’s good, I’ll support it. So when Tina Estes, long-time friend and reader of Miss Dimplez.com, put out an inspirational single, there was no question when it came to sharing it.
The record is called “One Two” and is overwhelming triumphant after a year of challenges. Tina took to her Facebook to detail the following: “I’ve had some pretty blatant failures over the past year. Not making it past round 1 of The Voice auditions in LA, not delivering my best in a few key performances I’ve had…but I use these valuable experiences as building blocks with an unrelenting ambition to always improve and truly unveil my potential. I’ve always believed that everything you need can be found from within.”
I agree! Take a listen to Tina Estes‘ “One Two”, below. - Rebecca Ijeoma

Philly-born Teacher/Rapper/Producer Random aka Mega Ran is no newcomer on WIB and you will be seeing and hearing a lot more from the man as a guest contributor on this site – but that is by the way. At the moment, he drops the heart felt new single ‘Losses‘ with assists from Joell Ortiz and MURS. The EP wherein this track is taken from is titled Wouldn’t Miss It For The World and it’s scheduled to drop in Spring of this year.
Need I say more, another round of goodness to begin the day with.
After being named a “Rapper Likely To Be Big in 2014” by LA Weekly, Mega Ran steps to the plate in a lead-off role and blasts a thunderous home run. His new track “Losses” is a heartfelt lifeline to anyone who’s lost anything or anyone to the high-stakes game of the streets, produced by Alex Minor.
Ran recruits Brooklyn’s Joell Ortiz of Slaughterhouse and LA’s indie rap hero MURS, and tops it off with a soulful chorus by Arizona songstress Tina Estes to drive it home, making “Losses” a vast departure from the video-game tinged tracks that he’s been known for as of late. “Losses” is the lead off for Mega Ran’s newest EP, “Wouldn’t Miss It For The World,” coming this spring as a free download. -

Hear Tina Estes, a talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist perform with her full band! She blends the sounds of neo-soul, Pop and R&B in a refreshing new way. -

Ya estoy cansada de vivir en las sombras.
Caminamos con audacia.

Defienda lo que es correcto.
Nosotros somos el futuro.

Intrepido como mi padre.
Muy fuerte como mi madre.

Lucharemos! -
