The first thought that came to mind was; “To God be the glory God is an amazing God who has a talent for everyone no matter how physically challenged one is. All one has to do is to believe in oneself and pursue a dream. An example can be related to music legend Stevie Wonder who overcame adversity to become a legend and Nick Vujicic the man of God from Australia first born child to a devout christian couple born limbless missing both arms at shoulder level and having one small foot with two toes protruding from his left thigh. Initially his parents were devastated however Nick turned out to be otherwise perfectly healthy. The motivational speaker has been blessed with the annointing words to inspire millions of people around the world. He is the Director for Life Without Limbs an organization for the physically disabled. *SIMN ILLA INTR* A quote from New Mobility magazine posted on a wall in his living room reads; *”He’s 3 feet tall his bones are brittle and he uses a wheel chair – what makes him think he can make it in the music biz? He believes in himself and that’s all he needs… They have lost hope due to their disability. Well for those physically challenged Ghanaians who think God has forgotten about them – as Kirk Franklin puts it “Here is the pain medicine”. Ghanaweb is putting a spotlight on SIMN ILLA the Super Producer beatmaster sound engineer arranger a music industry heavyweight and one of the most sought after music producers of R&B Hiphop Reggae in America (never been busier) and a businessman. SIMN ILLA is an inspiration to the many physcally challenged around the world. He truly believes in himself and he is taking his God given talent to another level. Simon ILLA is the name known in the music industry and he prefers to be known by that name.

–>CPYRIGHT 2007 CMP Information Ltd. With the last couple of years witnessing the construction of a 12000- capacity arena in Auckland the launch of MTV and iTunes New Zealand and a solid infrastructure threatening to spill into international waters the `Land of the Conchords’ has arrived on the world’s stage. Local music expert Alister Bronson gives us the lowdown on a hotbed of talent In a year without a Peter Jackson blockbuster or an All Blacks World Cup victory the surreal blend of comedy and music that is Flight f The Conchords – a TV show based around the exploits and songs of a struggling fictitious Kiwi duo of the same name – has done more for New Zealand’s international profile in 2007 than anything else. The HB network series has made its way to serious cult status in the US and other markets with great reviews and viewing figures made up of both network screenings and YouTube clips in their millions. When Flight f The Conchords’ manager and New Zealand deputy cultural attache Murray Hewitt (played by London-based Kiwi stand-up Rhys Darby) hosted the New Zealand party at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York last month the event was a crowded-out success – due in part to hipsters checking out Murray’s latest talent-spotting but also a line-up of some of the best young acts to emerge from New Zealand in years. The showcase was put on by NZ n Air through its Phase Five programme and the NZ Music Commission. n stage that day were highly-touted popsters Cut ff Your Hands recently signed to 679 Full Time Hobby’s teenage retro rockers The Checks indie act The Brunettes (signed to Sub Pop in the US) and Liam Finn the singularly talented progeny of Crowded House’s Neil who has come of age with his solo album I’ll Be Lighting after stepping away from his former band Betchadupa.

Here is your track-by-track guide to the artists on this week’s free disc 1.
