The new lead single "Jump On It," follows a string of buzzworthy hits by the new duo Layomi The Tampa Baes including previous releases, "No Apologizes" and "Dope Boyz." As the center of attention in today's music, the new Florida act makes a must-hear first impression in the release of their debut project, titled, You, Me & The 813.
Made during a pandemic, the new album captures the everyday life of the new act as they navigate through the unknown like the rest of the world during the COVID-19 outbreak. Not allowing their momentum to burn out due to the halt of live entertainment and interaction, the girls provide fans with a full-length effort that defines the act's futuristic sound.
The new duo on the audio adventure:
"We created this project as a soundtrack to your everyday life regardless if you're taking a walk in the park or going through a bad breakup, our ultimate desire is to bring happiness to you through our music. We come from a place where people are inspired to be in the entertainment business and actually have the talent but lack the resources. Tampa isn't only what we would consider paradise, but a cauldron of untapped talent. The 813 means everything to us.
At a young age we learned that you have to leave the nest to make it happen and bring back the resources similar to Odysseus and the journey of the hero. The trials and tribulations of this journey are the driving forces behind the music of “You,Me & the 813." We created this project as a soundtrack to your everyday life regardless if you're taking a walk in the park or going through a bad breakup, our ultimate desire is to bring happiness to you through our music.
Truthfully, this is a great time for women and music and we feel our music is what the world has been missing."

Today we’d like to introduce you to Izabel Honey.
Hi Izabel, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Ever since I was little, I was always around music from me watching my mom sing and dance to JLo to karaoke nights with my grandpa. In Growing up, I moved schools a lot so I got bullied a lot and my dad was locked up basically my whole childhood so I became kind of depressed and was a troubled teen it was pretty tuff. Music was always my outlet just put some headphones on, play some music and it felt like everything was gonna be okay. Music really got me through some dark times. It basically saved my life at one point. I didn’t start writing and making my own music until 2020 right before the big pandemic. Having more free time with not working really pushed me to take on my career head on and I haven’t looked back since. I’m so grateful and blessed that I can even be pursuing my dream that honestly feels like it’s turning into reality now. I thank god everyday.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I really thought it was would simple to take on a music career all on my own, but it’s been a roller coaster ride to say the least. I’m still learning while I go. The music industry can be a very shady place if you aren’t too careful. I’ve had my bad experiences with producers and other artists that have tried to take advantage of a situation or two. As a female artist, it can be a little scary with who to trust in the industry. Luckily I have found my team and they are the best people. I’m truly blessed. Shoutout to Zayce and Speedy I love you guys!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a singer and songwriter. I’ve written all of my songs on my own and I usually get inspiration from the current mood I’m in at the time. Which is pretty cool because my moods are all over the place. Break up songs are my specialty lol! My love life is crazy and you will be able to tell if you sit and listen to my music. My main goal with my music is to be as relatable to the listener as I can because I know the best songs are the ones you can relate to. Also, I’ve been working on my rapping! I’m only 4’11 but I can spit bars too! Just don’t battle me to a freestyle cause I’ll lose. I’m trying though I’ll get it down soon!
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory would be late night karaoke sessions with my family. I started off young! My mom and my grandma would always do duets or solos and I always just wanted to take over the mic and sing Selena or Mariah Carey. And this was me at like six years old! I was always a diva putting on a show or just hogging the mic!

Real, authentic and vulnerable… Those are the three words best used to describe Flint, Michigan’s Cameron Tyler. The young artist from the Upper Midwest made a name for himself in music when he was younger, but then took a four-year hiatus from the industry after getting burned out from bad deals and internal politics. He thought he was done with music for good, but when 2020 came around and all of the stresses along with it, he found himself turning to music as an emotional outlet. His love for creative expression through sound and style re-emerged and for most of last year, he created hit after hit.

Formerly known as the artist Caution, Tyler said he learned the hard way how the music industry works when he signed a bad deal about six years ago. He’d been making music for years prior to that though, getting his start at a very young age. He opened for artist I Wayne at just 8 years old, and had recorded some singles through his teenage years. But the deal he signed with a label caused him to have to sacrifice creative control of his music, and once that deal was done, he walked away from music. He said 2020 however, brought about some things that caused him to turn back to music, and in the process, he discovered he had a more mature take on his songwriting and production.
