Sorry I haven't been blogging for a while, I was on vacation and I couldn't get to a computer. Anyways, I found a new website for you and a new artist. The website is called songza. Definitely check it out! When the page opens, you can choose what kind of music you want. Whether it's Waking Up Happy or Relaxing at Night, you can have your pick, and it changes throughout the day. Back to the artist. His name is Jamie Lidell; here is some info I found on wikipedia about him (it is a lot to read):

Lidell is known for layering tracks made with his voice into a microphone and performing the percussion and melody as a sequenced, beatboxing one-man band. Then over his augmented voices, he sings soul-inspired songs. This exercise makes for energetic live performances. Lidell has become renowned for his diverse range of genre-exploration. Following the release of his 2008 album, Jim, Lidell commented,[2]
I want it to be about music, I think every musician does. But I think inevitably it ends up becoming about personality, which is what gives rise to the music, so people want to make sure that they get a bit of both. The more things do well, the more people want to know why it does well.
~ Jim Lidell
Here is a song by him called:
