Rafael Chon and Josh Richards call themselves Topography. As Rafael simply put it, "A topographical map gives a person the gist of what’s supposed to be in a certain place. It’s up to them to actually go there and interpret it for themselves."
Topography embraces the idea of interpreting music for ourselves. Josh creates beautiful guitar riffs and melodic strings and when accompanied by Rafael’s overpowering, yet soothing voice, a song is born ready to be defined by any set of ears it reaches. Heavily influenced by artists such as Bear vs. Shark, Cassino, mewithoutYou, and Mineral, Topography is humble in their musical expenditures.
"If we could just reach out to a few more people I would be happy." Rafael likes to think of Topography as a way to keep his creative impulses alive. Whether or not Topography continues down the road of musical success, the two men have achieved plenty. We look forward to having them in concert at GJs on July 11th!
These days there's a search going on for what is real. Real hope, Real peace, Real joy, Real love. At the age of nineteen, California solo artist Quimi (pronounced "kee-mee") pours out her heart and soul through rocking vocals and a guitar to show what she knows to be real. "In the past few years of my life, I've found out that there are a lot of things I don't know..." Quimi says smiling. "…but I can tell you two things that I have found out that I do know: Jesus Christ is the only real love that I have ever known and He has a real plan and purpose for my life and for your life."
The soft-spoken yet enthusiastic singer/songwriter is stepping out for the first time with her self-titled debut CD. Driven by charismatic vocals, Quimi's debut CD is an eclectic compilation of heartfelt songs seeking after Christ's heart. Produced by The Katinas, this CD contains ten songs; seven of which she wrote, two worship songs and a song written by former ZoeGirl, Chrissy Katina. The Katinas' voices lace a few of the songs while also being featured in the worshipful "All For Love".
"I'm so blessed to be able to worship God through music and give back what He's given to me." Quimi expresses, "My prayer is that as people listen to my music, it will inspire them to seek God's purpose for their lives and live wholeheartedly, on fire for Him." As this CD showcases the range of her music, it also displays her passion for singing songs that convey the simple message of truth fighting to be heard in a world desperately trying to find answers.
Come hear Quimi and Topography at GJs on July 11th!
