Acclaimed independent singer-songwriter Ari Hest will take the stage at For Your Imagination’s New York City studio on February 13th, 2008 as part of the online media company’s LIVE@FYI music performance series. LIVE@FYI is a live web series showcasing the best and most promising bands and artists the music industry has to offer.

Hest will be performing selections from “52,” an ambitious project in which he has been releasing a new song via www.arihest.com, each week during 2008. “When I got out of my record deal this past summer, I decided it was time to try something a little different. It feels great to be an independent artist again, and I'm more inspired than ever to write and record. I was looking for a new way to present my music,” said Hest. The project officially started on January 7^th.

“We’re looking forward to another great performance on LIVE@FYI and to announcing more artists who are scheduled to perform in the coming weeks,” said For Your Imagination’s CEO, Paul Kontonis.

Each episode of LIVE@FYI will be streamed live over the Internet using the broadcasting platform Mogulus, and consists of both a live performance as well as intimate discussions with the artists and behind the scenes moments. The show is hosted by For Your Imagination’s own Jon Johnnidis. The show can be found at www.mogulus.com/liveatfyi.

In addition to live broadcasts from the For Your Imagination studios in New York City, future installments of the series will include artists performing remotely across the United States and around the world.
