Yesterday, the UF Hillel’s art committee launched their first major networking website known as JAMnetwork aka Jewish Artists and Musicians Network.
By simply creating your own profile on the JAMnetwork, you can upload your own music, share personal pieces of artwork, blog about anything from new CD releases to concert tours to new art exhibits and much more!
The purpose of the website is to build strong connections between Jewish artists and musicians throughout the US and even though the site started in Gainesville, FL it’s open to the public and is expected to gain a lot of interest! Remember, UF ranked as the number one public university with the largest Jewish student population in the US for 2009 (*Reform Jewish Mag).
Shemspeed is an independent recording label and promotional agency highlighting cross-over music artists with positive and unifying messages. Founded by Erez Safar, an American-Israeli DJ/Producer, Shemspeed promotes over 15 dynamic artists representing a wide range of genres including hip-hop, reggae, and rock. These artists include Y-Love (revolutionary Jewish hip-hop), Diwon (Yemenite / Sephardic hip-hop, Israeli music and more), DeScribe (soul-awakening dancehall, hip-hop, & soul), and Electro Morocco (Israeli rock, dance music.) Shemspeed artists, collectively showcasing the diversity in world Jewish music, have performed with musicians as varied as Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Idan Raichel and Eminem; they’ve been profiled in Rolling Stone, SPIN, The New York Times and XXL; and they’ve been seen and heard around the world on various TV appearances (Conan O’Brien, CBS and BBC World) and global radio. Shemspeed’s mission is unifying people through culture and education, celebrating diversity and common ground. By way of this work, we add a public Jewish voice to multi-cultural, inter-faith, creative and collaborative bridge-building.
