From funk, to hip hop, to ambient groove, No Parents Records is the brainchild of San Diego native Skylar Newman (pictured above). No Parents’s self stated mission is “to release great music from artists that are making headway in new directions of sound.”GRAPES’s hat is off to Mr. Newman because he is doing exactly that. No Parents is steadily supplying us with the best up and coming artist from across the Golden State. In addition to being the owner of the label, Skylar goes by the stage name ‘Calm Tree’ and arranges and produces his own tracks. So next time you want something fresh and funky, give something different a chance, check out Calm Tree and the other talented artists of www.noparentsrecords.com
