We will soon have a Top Videos area on the site and we need you to review so we know which ones are the best videos on Broadjam. It's easy and fun to do, so please help us out and review videos!

In the New Age-Alternative realm, check out Stephen Bellm and his masterpiece "beach." This unique compilation of tabla drums and keyboard is soft and sultry with a bluesy feel. Raspy whispers in the background add drama to the piece fading in and out just like the ocean tide.

After that, listen to one of many in the New Age-Neo Classical genre, Lisa Angela. The elegance of the orchestral instrumentation coupled with the piano in "The Mountain Spring" is calming and beautiful. Listen for her enticing piano playing and soulful vocals in many of her other recordings!

Check out all of the sizzling artists on Broadjam's Top 10 charts!

It's the natural beauty surrounding Stephen Bellm in rural Alpujarras, Spain that inspires him to write. With views like the mountains of Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea, how could it not?  Stephen’s musical past includes playing piano and acoustic guitar.  He also pioneered into the tabla rhythms of India, combining the instruments to make rich, original songs including “beach” that provoke meditative thinking from the listener.  When he is not collaborating with other artists, Stephen is creating refreshing dance beats on guitar, infusing different vocal sounds and harmonies into the mix.

“A truly inspirational work full of body and life leaving the listener yearning for more...Love the jazzy flow of the instrumentation!”

Singer/Songwriter Lisa Angela’s soulful voice adds volumes to the timeless instrumentation she and her pianist already make. Influenced by soul and rock musicians David Gray, Lenny Kravitz, and Aimee Mann, each recording Lisa creates engages the listener with a utopian-like sound.  Lisa combines her inspirational vocals with music producer/composer/engineer Glen Rhodes’ skills to create harmonious music that shares their passions, experiences, and reflections with the listener.  Always striving for more, Lisa has conquered a plethora of success as a musician already, landing a feature spot in TAXI’s newsletter, scoring spots in multiple Broadjam Top 10 Charts, and receiving airplay on Oprah and Dr. Phil.

“Just beautiful and soothing to listen to. Piano was played very tenderly and melody was pretty and interesting at the same time. I loved the way the instruments worked together too. You are a pro and I am very impressed!”
- Broadjam Member, Songwriter
