Etana The Strong One Covers L3 Magazine April Issue!

L3 Magazine has released its’ April 2015 issue which features award winning Reggae Songstress Etana on the cover.

As one of the most influential artists of out time, Etana, with the stroke of a pen, has the ability to influence people who listen to her music.  Ever humble, Etana sees it as writing music about life but her fans co-sign with us saying they hear it as being inspiration!  After so many years in the industry, The Strong One has grown to include business woman in her portfolio.  Natasha Von Castle sits with Etana to talk music, business and her mighty pen!

In the Comic world, there is a difference between being a Penciler and an Inker.  To people outside the industry, both are one and the same, but there is a huge difference.  Senior Writer Song River sits down with LeBeau Underwood who is an Inker, and a very good one at that.  How did he start and what is it like to work for DC and Marvel Comics?  We have all the answers!

DDark is a Rapper from the UK who makes music from his soul.  As much as people might try, he cannot be contained to one genre of music.  What he creates is as diverse as the meditations of his heart and equally as good.  Check his lyrics.

Vodaphone London Fashion Weekend may be over, but the memories live on with Kay Cunningham who shares a pictoral spread of highlights from the best designers.  Ladies next designer outfit might be in London en route to the world.  This feature is a must see!

Rounding out this months issue are music charts, reviews from artists who have music fresh off the press, a visit to the Cayman Islands and a compelling editorial from Cricket who asks the important question, where is our Civil Heart?

All of this and more via the April, 2015 Issue of L3 Magazine available at:   www.L3Magazine.com
