David Blaize, (http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Blaize/173171876057281) an exceptional singer and songwriter from Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland. Betties has licensed David's song "Your Mother's Mad At Me" (used in the first Betties video at www.bettiesfashion.com).
Here is a recent Shane Supple (http://www.shanesupple.net/) interview with David where (among other things) he talks about his musical influences and the mechanics of how he creates new songs:

As you listen to the interview (link above), you will love listening to David's Irish accent – think Brad Pitt in Snatch (only a bit easier to understand).
Now having written about 200 songs, without a doubt, Mr. Blaize has "it". In the interview, he decries his singing ability (indicating that his real talent is for songwriting). We couldn't disagree more. Everybody, listen to "Your Mother's Mad At Me" and "J'ever Take A Shine" (http://www.myspace.com/davidblaize/music/songs?filter=POPULAR) and then tell me this guy can't sing. Crazy good voice if you like songs from little known acts like the Beatles or Buddy Holly.
Anyway, check out everything that David Blaize writes and performs. Then, you can brag about how you were listening to him way before everyone else was!
