Editor's Note: Nohoartsdistrict.com recently gave a tour to 42 international media delegates (sponsored by LA, Inc.). Izzy may be right - NoHo is becoming a "Culture Capital."

Ask anyone and they will tell you that the North Hollywood region of Los Angeles is an area steeped with a rich, vibrant history and culture that is completely its own. With a population nearing eighty thousand citizens, the aptly named NoHo district is never short of things to do, nor is it short of people willing to do them – the area is rife with establishments dedicated to some of the finer pursuits in life: music and theatre.

The NoHo Arts District dot come staff decided to search for people who make "NOHO RAD." We know many super snazzy and uber talented folks and wanted to share that with our readers. This week we selected the NoHo Band "Starfire"  and interviewed Dairenn Lombard, leader and manager of the group.

North Hollywood's Tha Boogie is vying for the coveted Rolling Stone Magazine prize of their cover and a recording deal. Let's show Tha Boogie AND Rolling Stone Magazine some good ol' NoHo pride. VOTE!
