	Posted by Ruthie

Here at Vampire Diaries Online, we have decided to start a new weekly feature called Vampire Diaries Music Spotlight. Since the start of the season, the music of The Vampire Diaries has generated so much buzz. We get tons of comments and questions in regards to songs that have been featured on the show. And often, the music being featured are from artists that are up and coming, and obscure. So we would like to seize the opportunity to spotlight an artist of our choice each week that has been featured on the show.

The first artist we would like to spotlight, is Glass Pear, and he is who inspired me to start this weekly feature. Glass Pear’s beautiful melodic song “Wild Place” was featured on The Vampire Diaries episode “Family Ties”. You may have also heard his song “Last Day of Your Life”. It was featured in the pilot episode of the first season of the new 9021o.

Check out this bio from his Myspace:

“Glass Pear is singer/songwriter Yestyn Griffiths. The Welsh-born singer is the younger brother of recording artist Jem. After co-writing songs for her debut “Finally Woken” and follow-up “Down To Earth”, Yestyn sent a 4 track demo to tastemaker DJ Nic Harcourt of KCRW. Nic’s early support for tracks “Last Day Of Your Life” and “Vultures” was instrumental in getting the music heard. In late 2008 the producers of 90210 chose “Last Day Of Your Life” to end the debut episode of the new series and Grey’s Anatomy featured the track in early 2009. Aptly described by Dave Matthew’s A & R as being like “Keane but with balls”, Yestyn cites Jeff Buckley and the Beatles as influences, while echoes of early Radiohead and Coldplay are heard throughout Glass Pear’s stadium-sized sound.”
