Originally, the youngest member of dispersed music group “The Wanted,” Nathan Sykes, now 23, is slowly beginning to build a new name for himself in the world of music. Releasing his first single earlier this summer, Sykes returned to the music scene with a bang. “Kiss Me Quick,” followed by “Over and Over Again,” a soulful piano ballad that will melt your heart, proves that Nathan has so much potential as a solo artist. Also, his song "More Than You'll Ever Know" comes with a music video that emphasizes his incredibles vocals and unique style.

Born in Gloucester, England, Sykes was influenced by music early on in his life from his mother, a piano teacher. Growing up, his love for music blossomed into a successful career as ¼ of The Wanted, best known for their hits “Glad You Came” and “Chasing the Sun”.

As of September 30, Sykes released his song “Famous,” an amazing piece of music with a 1960s soul sound, similar to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. With an album set to release in early November of this year, Nathan Sykes has only just begun his rise to the top of the music world as a singer, songwriter and musician.

Through his social media platforms, he promotes all his upcoming music as well as continues to show his genuine love for his fans through contests, interactions and regular updates on his life. Even though Nathan Sykes has developed much, in terms of sound, since his days in “The Wanted,” he’s still the quirky, charming and pleasant kid from Gloucester that “The Wanted” fans fell in love with in the beginning.

On his own, Nathan can now express his unique sound of R&B mixed with pop and a little soul. “Give It Up” featuring G-Eazy shows how well Sykes can adapt his sound from soulful and sweet to fun and danceable. I strongly suggest that anyone looking for something new in the music world to check out Nathan Sykes.

You can check out his music video for “Give It Up” here and “Over and Over Again” here. Also, he can be found on Twitter, Snapchat (@sykesmusic), Facebook, and Instagram.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
