Artist Spotlight - Lady Lux

From underground stages to headline features, Lady Lux is proving that the Inland Empire isn’t just a stop on the map—it’s a movement. Hailing from Chino, California, this rising emcee has taken her lyrical skills and hustle to new heights over the past year, earning well-deserved recognition across the region and beyond. With her name now in daily rotation on Melodic Playground Radio and a growing list of accolades under her belt, Lady Lux is becoming a voice of the streets—raw, bold, impossible to ignore.

Lux first caught attention with her early singles like Chuckz N White Laces and Bar 4 Bar, combining classic West Coast vibes with her razor-sharp wordplay and self-assured flow. Her authenticity stood out in a sea of noise, and that’s exactly why she was featured in Melodic Playground Magazine last year. What started as a simple artist spotlight quickly turned into something bigger. Lux was not just another feature—she became family.

Her grind hasn’t slowed down since. Lux’s presence on Barz on Wheelz gave fans a chance to witness her go toe-to-toe in a mobile freestyle showcase that’s earned a reputation for only featuring the most serious spitters. From clever punchlines to gut-punch truths, Lux didn’t just ride the beat—she owned it. Shortly after, she made waves again on the high-profile platform On the Radar, solidifying her reputation as one of Southern California’s fiercest independent voices.

But behind every rising star is a community, and Lady Lux has never forgotten hers. She continues to collaborate with local legends like Diamonique, a West Coast veteran whose stamp of approval carries serious weight in the I.E. scene. Their creative chemistry is evident, and it's no surprise that Diamonique has become a key part of her studio work and sonic evolution. Together, they’re representing Chino with pride—and keeping the mic hot for the next generation.

Lux’s sound is unapologetically hers: confident, gritty, and laced with both experience and edge. Whether she’s flexing on a track or speaking truth about life’s darker corners, her delivery is always sharp, her cadence always calculated. Her songs like Get Into It, Back On Track, and Nitro Beamz reveal a range that balances street wisdom with infectious hooks—proving that she's not only a bar-for-bar technician but a true artist in every sense.

Now with daily rotation on Melodic Playground Radio, Lady Lux is reaching listeners far beyond the I.E., bringing her message to new fans every day. Her journey from DIY recordings to full-fledged performances has inspired countless others to pick up a mic and find their own voice. But make no mistake—this is only the beginning.

2025 is already shaping up to be a landmark year. With more shows in the works, new visuals being developed by Willow Concepts Studios, and fresh music always cooking, there’s plenty more coming from Lady Lux. She’s not just putting Chino on the map—she is the map. A compass for raw talent, hard work, and the spirit of independent artistry.

At Melodic Playground, we’re proud to support Lady Lux not only as an artist, but as a symbol of what’s possible when passion meets purpose. She’s already a favorite among our listeners and a key part of our vision to spotlight authentic voices from overlooked communities.

So whether you’ve been riding with Lux since day one, or just discovered her through one of our playlists, know this: she’s coming for everything she deserves. And we’ll be turning the volume all the way up.

Tune in. Lock in. And remember the name—Lady Lux.

Happy Boy Bergers is Now Open for Business




The Inland Empire has a new Burger King....lol I mean we have a new King of Burgers... or should I say the Master Jedi that has everyone is licking their lips asking for a second serving... and I even saw one of our former classmates ask on Instagram if he could pay Tuesday for a Berger today. Yupp it's that good! Got them out here trying to finance a patty lol must be the secret sauce lol

I met the creator of HappyBoy Bergers "Paul" my sophomore year in high school and we have been brothers ever since. The man is cooler than a Dazed and Confused Matthew Mcconaughey and there is nothing cooler than a Star Wars nerd having the idea of starting his own business providing Dinner and Movie to his community and turning it into a reality.

He isn't just SpongeBob with the Spatula.... I have personally given this man my vote for "Father of The Year" on several occasions and I am extremely proud of the man he has become. It is an honor to be able to share and support such a good man, trying to create his own small business.

So if you are in the Inland Empire looking to BOOK a POP-UP please feel free to contact Paul on instagram @HappyBoyBerger I know that someday in the near future we will be trying to hire him for a Melodic Picnic.... until then... don't forget tune in to Melodic Playground Radio, broadcasting 24 hours a day... Much Love Fam!!!!!!!

Sara gives Music Lessons



As the lock down begins to ease up, I have to ask... did you use your time wisely? Many around the globe found themselves with extra time as our normal routines were dramatically affected. Some of you think like me, using the time to learn stocks, make music and build a new company. Some had to adjust to new jobs or work environments but countless also found themselves binging on Netflix.

I am not here to judge! LOL! I am here to motivate! 

Well all love music, in some form or fashion, we all have heard something that has sonically made us feel magical. The magic of music can heal one's mind, heart or soul. Music breaks down barriers. It unites the divided. I know I would be a different man without it and I am convinced that without music the worlds turmoil would be much more severe.

Music is gift from the gods and Sara will teach you how to feel like your  on your way to heaven. There is nothing like your first lesson. You can feel it in your spirit as you spread your wings. You can feel it in your brain as your mind is opened and your first class will pleasantly make you feel like a kid again. You will literally feel like your in kindergarten leaving with your head held high and a handful of homework.

Personally I have been making music for almost 20 years but it wasn't until recently that I had my first ever music lesson. I have been using my ears to make music but I finally found the time to learn how to read, write and speak the language. Sara makes learning quite easy and ultimately its guaranteed to make me a better musician.

Sara has been providing Music lesson since 2005. You can visit here website to see what type of lessons she provides. Sara and her staff provide a variety of lessons regardless of your experience. Whether your trying to pass the time, impress your spouse for the anniversary, make music your career or just pick up a new hobby... there is a music lesson for you. You can book a session at Sara's, an online lesson or she can arrange a mobile lesson at the location of your choice. Don't try to use convenience as an excuse.

I know there are plenty of companies and teachers providing lessons but if your looking for your first lesson I strongly recommend giving this small business a chance. If I can afford it, you can! It's super convenient and will feel like such relief after the pandemic of 2020. No matter who you are, I'm sure your mental health was drained a bit during this global lockdown... your breath of fresh air is just a phone call away. You wont regret the choice and after you learn to play the instrument of your choice... feel free to send an mp3 or video my way.. I would love to hear what you create, who knows it might end up on Melodic Playground Radio.
