Non-notable singer-songwriter. No indication either in the article or on Google search of
musical notability. Google search finds nothing by independent third parties such as reviews or critics, only the usual vanity hits.

Delete. Nothing stated in the article passes
WP:NMUSIC at all (the only one it even approaches is #10, but that requires the main theme song for a TV show, not a mere scene placement, and still has to be better sourced than this before it counts); the writing tone here tilts noticeably in an
advertorialized, rather than neutral and encyclopedic, direction (i.e. "Theo’s voice is similar to powerful singers like, Ella and Aretha, Amy Winehouse and Adele", sourced only to her own PR claims); and none of the sources that have been added are
reliable ones for the purposes of establishing notability: it's referenced entirely to
iTunes and her self-published profile on the commercial website of a music licensing agency, with no evidence of media coverage about her being shown. A musician does not get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because her own web presence nominally verifies that she exists — she needs to be the subject of media coverage, which verifies an accomplishment that passes an NMUSIC criterion, for a Wikipedia article to become earned. We're an encyclopedia, on which making it big comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not a free advertising platform for emerging artists to promote themselves as part of trying to make it. There's also a probable
conflict of interest here, as the music licensing agency is called SynchAudio, the creator's username is "SA2014", and their only other Wikipedia contribution to date is another artist of improperly established notability whose sourcing is also to SynchAudio.

Delete Terrible article. No redeeming features.

Delete A search turns up no RS. The common link between this article and the similarly nominated
Tony Crown article is both the article creator and the reference used called "synch audio blog".

I removed all sourcing, as it was either 1. itunes or 2. published by their promotion agent "Synch audio".
