KRYOMAN CELEBRATES NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY WITH NEW “THE FIGHT FOR LOVE”

Over the course of this year, not only has Kryoman worked tirelessly to assemble his new LP, “The Fight For Love,” he also garnered support from the United Nations, pop icon Miley Cyrus’s Foundation, Mom’s Rising and many more prolific charity groups with a purpose to raise awareness for woman’s rights issues in an uplifting positive way via film and music. He then went on to create a funnel of revenue to donate to woman’s rights charities via merchandise and creating opportunities for female entrepreneurs and opportunities for upcoming female artists to get the recognition they deserve.

WHO THE F*CK ARE NASTY CHERRY?

The band caused a social stir when Charli first hinted at Nasty Cherry’s existence, racking up nearly 10K followers in one evening overnight, but the girls have otherwise kept a pretty shadowy profile. Made up of two Brits (@georgiasomary, @debbiedrums), and two Americans (@gabriette, @chloechaidez), Nasty Cherry is hinged by Los Angeles with purpose to write and play their own music—which is romantic and bitchy at the same time—like if Robert Smith was created by Andy Warhol in the Factory, or The Strokes, if they all had vaginas. Someone should remake ‘The Craft’ just so Nasty Cherry can make the soundtrack.
