The ladies have been blowin’ up the airwaves and charts. Any artist will tell you that getting a song on the radio is no piece of Cake By The Ocean.

HK TALKS WITH DAYA - THIS WEEK ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™


Daya may be only 17 but she has the pipes and writing skills of a seasoned artist. Billboard described her as a cross between Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor with a hint of Avril Lavigne. I describe her as the next big thing.

Daya slammed into the music scene with her debut single, Hide Away, that has now gone platinum. Then came the colab with The Chainsmokes, Don’t Let Me Down, that’s in the Top 10 and rising. And her new track, the empowering girl anthem, Sit Still Look Pretty, is already making noise. This week I talk with Daya about what a difference a year makes, how she got started in music, high school prom, what it’s like to work with The Chainsmokers and more!

MORE is what we have on tap for you this week on In The Mix with HK™! More of your favorite hits like your never heard them before, more HK remixes and more reasons to turn up the volume! In addition to my backstage interview with Daya, get ready for exclusive HK remixes on Lukas Graham, Fifth Harmony, Jason Derulo, Ariana Grande and Mike Posner! Plus new jams from Meghan Trainor, Adele, One Republic, Ellie Goulding and others. There’s a party over here and it’s all going down right here this weekend!

RUTH B FOUND A HIT WITH LOST BOY [VIDEO]

Ruth B’s song Lost Boy got its start in a fairytale kinda way! Just two years ago Ruth was a teenager playing piano and singing covers, then uploading them to Vine from her childhood bedroom. But it was the day that the Canadian singer/songwriter and college student had finished binge watching the TV show Once Upon A Time that the real magic began. Ruth sat at her keyboard and played around with random chords singing different words. One of the lines she sang was: “I am a lost boy from Neverland, usually hanging out with Peter Pan”. Ruth said she didn’t think much of it but she posted it on Vine because it kept ringing in her head. One week later the Vine of that little line had 85,000 likes with people asking for more. So Ruth would come home after school and write a new line to the song and post it, eventually she says “I had a chorus”. Amazingly, Vine users were able to see the evolution of the song in real-time. It didn’t take long for major-labels to find those Lost Boy snippets and soon Ruth’s desires to become a lawyer were sprinkled with pixie dust and turned into musical dreams.

I’ll be sprinkling pixie dust on the ones and twos this weekend when I bring you an exclusive HK remix of Ruth B’s Lost Boys that will have Peter Pan jammin! Get your party pants on cause I'm also featuring exclusives this week on Justin Timberlake, Flume f/Kai, Zayn, G-Eazy/Bebe Rexha, Pink, Mike Posner, Twenty One Pilots and more! Plus new surprises from Calvin Harris/Rihanna, Kiiara and Julien Creance. And, there might even be a re-imagined HK classic in there!

COUPLES MIX BIZ WITH PLEASURE ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™

Music and love go hand in hand and over the years there have been many a famous musical couple making hits together. From Sonny & Cher to Johnny Cash & June Carter musical romances have turned out great tunes and great tabloids. Katy Perry & John Mayer definitely had it going on. Now Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton (FYI-on their second music power relationship) just dropped a new duet and are set to perform that track together on The Voice this Monday. But for me its Beyoncé & Jay Z that rule the romance/music collab world. Will Taylor Swift & Calvin be the next love birds to make beautiful music together and take the crown? Or will this week’s Pick To Hit™ artists, Zedd & Kesha’s True Colors turn into true romance and make them the new music power couple? I can’t wait to find out!

I REALLY can’t wait to hit the wheels of steel for your weekend party soundtrack! On tap for this week’s In The Mix with HK™ are exclusive HK remixes on Troy Sivan, Selena Gomez, Flo Rida, and Lukas Graham. Plus new bangers from Zedd f/ Kesha, Coldplay f/Beyoncé, Pink and Daya! It’s an all-out party jam you don’t want to miss!
