Live Bytes Performance

Is 'I-69' the highway to heaven? Well, it's something like that. This Roman GianArthur song isn't about an interstate to eternity but it is about two-way streets. Confused? The song's topic is oral sex ostensibly, but it's really a metaphor for relationships and reciprocity 'cause Roman likes to get deep like that.

His name is Roman. Roman GianArthur to be exact, and the budding talent from Wondaland Arts Society is the truth. Need proof? Check out his performance of his original song 'Canopy' for The Boombox's Live Bytes performance series.

If Janelle Monae's Wondaland Arts Society is anything it's eclectic. Reppin' the Atlanta-based crew is Roman GianArthur, the latest featured performer in The Boombox's Live Bytes series.

You may not realize it, but if you're a Janelle Monae fan, you're probably a Roman GianArthur fan, too. You've gotten a taste of his work on Ms. Monae's 2010 album, 'The ArchAndroid,' in which he composed and arranged the album's 'Suite Overtures' and contributed to 'Ba Bop Bye Ya.'

Jhené Aiko's 'Sail Out' EP just debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B Album charts and in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 -- not bad for this budding new talent from Los Angeles.

Jhene Aiko sings about interplanetary love and kicks a rap she wrote at age 5 in her interview with The Boombox.

Mateo did say during a sit-down with The Boombox that he was pretty jealous of Drake for writing 'Hold On We're Going Home.' But after performing his new song 'Rosie' for a special McDonald's Live Bytes session at MSR Studios in New York City, we're sure there will be plenty singers jealous that they didn't write the track first.

Mateo would die a happy man if he was able to record with Lauryn Hill and he kicks himself because he didn't create Drake's 'Hold On We're Going Home' first. Those are just some of the gems the 27-year-old singer dropped during his chat with The Boombox before grabbing the mic at MSR Studios in New York City for a McDonald's Live Bytes session.
