Chris Lazer & The Bad Mofos is crazy combo of a singer/songwriter with a passion for rock'n'roll and they are nothing like you've ever seen before. Based in LA, they pull inspiration from everything from tradition singer/songwriters like Jason Mraz and Stevie Wonder to rock bands like Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac and more. Frontman Chris Lazer wanted to be able to sing his powerful songs but knew something was missing. Enter The Bad Mofos, a bitchin’ band with exactly the sound Chris Lazer needed. Groundbreaking collective Chris Lazer & The Bad Mofos are planning to release their upcoming EP this fall that will blend genres together to create a fusion of tracks that are live, raw and full of passion. “Save Me” is a refreshing rock tune that we’re grooving along to on repeat! Frontman Chris Lazer has versatile and infectious vocals that overpower the speakers with every note. The track focuses on self exploration and discovery. As humans, we’re always looking for a quick fix or someone to help us, but ultimately we need to look inside ourselves for the strength and perseverance we need. “Save Me” is laced with undertones of timeless classic rock arrangements while remaining contemporary and light-hearted. Chris Lazer & The Bad Mofos have an undeniably chemistry throughout their debut single “Save Me”. It’s an emotional and raw single about self awareness and empowerment. We love the groovy guitars and rhythmic textures as the band weaves us through every motion of the track. “Save Me” is an incredible launch for Chris Lazer & The Bad Mofos and we can’t wait to hear more! Rock out to “Save Me” here and read more in our exclusive interview below! Welcome to BuzzMusic! How did Chris Lazer & The Bad Mofos come together? Did you know each other before the band formed? Thank you for having us BuzzMusic super excited! Well thats a funny story I've been in the concept form of this band for about a year and finally in the beginning of this year it clicked. It all happened very randomly I was playing solo gigs around LA and I just would meet these amazing musicians who I vibed with and inspired me and together we formed something really special. The only person I knew before this was one of our singers Katelyn, we went to high school together and sang in our choir so its been amazing that when I started this and wanted some harmonies I called her up and was like you down to do some shows and she gladly said yes. I met Jay after we did a Lionel Richie tribute show and was like damn this woman can SANG and she's so vibrant and loving, I just knew we had to do some sort of music together and she's been a part since our first show at The Legendary Hotel Cafe last year. I met Max our bass player when he was doing sound for a show we got to chatting we vibed our old bass player came up to me told me he couldn't do the next show because he had finals and Max has played every show since. Max actually introduced me to Tito our guitar player and we just got along so great and I loved his vision for the band and the way he played and we've been jamming ever since. He kills its on Save Me our first song that we wrote and worked on together. We have a couple other members that play with us as well like Eric who I met after going to a show of his and I feel in love with his personality and he kills it on the Saxophone. The newest addition to the band is Rob and he produced our first single as well as played drums and we met because of Tito. So long story short you know its been serendipitous and magical meeting these amazing artists who I get to share the stage with. How does living in Los Angeles inspire your sound? Living in LA inspires our sound because there are just so many talented people that come from all over the world to do music. I love latin rock and there are so many cultures of music out here and all live in harmony with each other. I love getting inspired by all the amazing artists that I get to see. I had a week when I went to a show every night because all of my friends and people that I admire were playing and its so beautiful to be able to go out and support all these amazing artists. Theres such a cool movement of indie rock thats going on right now and I live with two of the most powerful female rockstars in LA right now and they inspire me everyday. What’s the meaning behind your track “Save Me”? What inspired it? Save me is one of the first songs that I wrote that was extremely personal to me. I wrote Save Me after I had a lethal overdose and the next day I wrote this song about taking a look at yourself and asking yourself to save yourself. It was a plea for help to myself and at the end of the day the first person who you need to save and thats going to save you is yourself. Thats why I wanted it to be the first single released because its the start of a new era for me and I wanted to be open about my struggles and show that people are flawed nobody is perfect and I think we forget that in this day in age with all these instagram models and fake artists with photoshop and autotune we never know whats real or fake. I want my music to be a refection of me real, raw, authentic and flawed. What challenges have you faced as up and coming artists? How do you overcome these challenges? We face challenges everyday there isn't an artist I know that isn't struggling right now. One personal struggle I faced was being told that I was too fat and too nerdy to be a rockstar. This same person also said I was one of the best live vocalist that they've ever heard. But that because the way I looked I would never make it into this industry. It broke my heart and my spirt for so long. I never wanted to be told that again and for the sake my music and my band I hit that gym and poured all the negativity that people have said about me and now nobody can tell me I don't look like a fucking rockstar because I feel like one. What overall theme can your listeners expect from your upcoming debut EP? The overall theme of this EP will be finding your inner strength and the person you can become. I want listeners to stop wishing on Better Days and Rise up and feel Free with our music. It's going to be a great adventure and I can't wait to embark on this journey together.

With Control is an up and coming rock band from Toronto, Canada. Comprised of three members, brothers Pat and Wes Clarke met their band mate Nick Bennett in 3rd grade. Formed over three years ago, the trio went from playing blues covers in their small town highschool, opening for the notable Blue Rodeo, April Wine and George Thorogood, to filling hard rock venues in downtown Toronto. Although they didn’t truly come together as a band until highschool, these three guys have extensive musical backgrounds. With Pat learning bass and vocals from an early age, Wes, an experienced drummer, and Nick, a pummeling guitarist, the trio began playing blues with other local musicians, eventually shifting to heavier music. With Control can be found at their house together in Toronto where they rehearse, record and put on house shows.They frequently play at live venues like the legendary Horseshoe Tavern and Bovine Sexclub. Preparing for their much anticipated album release this fall, With Control has released two singles titled “Name of The Game” and “One More Day” to give their fans a taste of what's to come. “One More Day” is the first song that With Control ever wrote together. Guitarist, Nick showed frontman Pat the opening riff and they were immediately sold on creating a hit. With soul crushing guitar and a hard-hitting vocals, “One More Day” establishes an explosive and unforgettable intro. This track sheds light on the myth of the “One More Day” we all need to discontinue our destructive behaviors. Whether it’s interpreted as heavy subject matter regarding addiction, or something as simple as a diet, the joke is that “One More Day” never arrives. By procrastinating we’re stuck in a metaphorical purgatory and not moving forward in our lives. With Control delivers a hit laced with undertones of their blues background layered with smoky rhythms and tight grooves. Powerhouse collective With Control has their listeners instantly hooked on the brand new single “One More Day”. The honesty, soul and raw energy that goes into this song is easily heard through the speakers. With Control has outdone themselves with their flawless delivery and undeniably chemistry. We love what we’re hearing from this trio so far and we can’t wait to see what they bring to the table with their album release. Stay tuned! Listen to “One More Day” here and read more in our exclusive interview with With Control below! Hey With Control! Welcome to BuzzMusic. Tell us about your new single “One More Day”! What was the writing process like? One More Day is the first song we wrote together and it's sort of what brought us together. Living in the east end of Toronto at the time I would take the train across the city to see Nick and Wes. We started playing a little bit together like we had in high school but when Nick showed us the riffs that he made for "One More Day" we decided it was time to get a place together and take things a bit more seriously. What’s the underground rock scene like in Toronto? The Toronto music scene is absolutely amazing, we could not have picked a better city to be in. There is a lot of indie rock bands. Though there is a ton of rock bands out there I feel like there's not that many doing it how we do it, which is cool we like that. How would you describe your live performance? The phrase "Nails on a chalkboard" doesn't have enough meaning to it, we pick so much rotten fruit out of our hair the next day. Do you have any upcoming shows or events you’d like to talk about? Yes, we have a show at Sneaky Dee's on September 7th. It's our album release show, we are going to pack so many fucking people into that place, I would't go, it will not be safe What’s next for With Control? When is your much anticipated debut album schedule to drop? We are releasing a few songs off the album between now and the release show, we are working on a video and Wes is practicing his cursive. The three of us are itching to write new music, we spent a long time on these songs and we are really craving writing something new.

Born and raised in Canada as Samuel Burchart, Samson Crowe began to learn music at a very young age. Since childhood, Samson has learned to play every instrument he could get his hands on. His fascination with the art of composing music began in his teen years, and over time he has developed a unique sound that encapsulates the magic of a wild, nomadic existence. A storyteller at heart, Samson’s music often depicts unique fictional tales that mirror the world around him. In late 2017, he created his stage identity and began to perform and write under the name 'Samson Crowe' as a way to connect his characters to his onstage presence. His debut album, 2018's 'During the Rainy Season' was a quiet, but well received release, earning itself two nominations for the Fraser Valley Music Awards, and his second album is expected to release in early 2020. Samson Crowe’s track “Tamihi” is named after a well known creek in Chilliwack, BC, where he is from. With elements of folk, roots, rock and soul mixed with contemporary rhythms and a powerful sound, “Tamihi” is a mellow track that will make any listener relax and escape to the music. Although it is slightly haunting, “Tamihi” can be interpreted in different ways for the listener. It serves as a tribute to Samson’s hometown, but can also be taken in on a deeper level. Samson Crowe is able to relate to their listeners on so many levels, through his meaningful lyricism and finely-calibrated instrumentals, Samson Crowe establishes true connections with his fans. Check out “Tamihi” here and read more below in our exclusive interview. Hi Samson Crowe! Can you start by telling us more about yourself? What inspired you to start creating music? I think a lot of musicians, whether aware of it or not, get into the trade on instinct. Looking back I think that's true for me. I grew up in a musical house and I think being around that as a child kinda normalized music as a method of communicating, so it just felt natural to learn music for myself. Just listening to music felt one sided, like being spoken to, but unable to say anything back. I had to participate. Your voice is great! How long have you been singing for? I began singing about seven years ago. I had this girlfriend in high school who was a skilled vocalist, so I picked up a lot of pointers from her. What’s the meaning behind the lyrics of “Tamihi”? There's this little bridge tucked away in the mountains called "Tamihi Bridge". It stretches over a portion of the river, and along the shore near the bridge there was an excellent spot for having campfires. This friend of mine, who is quite versed in many outdoor skills and activities, figured it was time for her to tackle learning to chop firewood. Of course being her first time, she was dreadful at it. Everyone sucks the first time they try something. The erratic flailing was a little too off putting though, and we were kinda worried somebody was gonna get stitches. I think that's where I got the lines "One reckless swing for to split the sea, one reckless swing for splitting me". Anyways, this guy, all macho like, took over the axe from her, and then also proceded to fail miserably at chopping it. It was just stubborn wood. It was a funny thing to witness. She is very competent at chopping wood now. Anyways, as the story sat in my head I started to get this idea of a character, this kinda mountaineer, lumberjack woman. Someone uninhibited and powerful. The speaker, by contrast, is a more feeble and self depreciating person. I think the song is kind of a disection, it's two halves of one's self. There's the better half that you want to pursue, and the worse half that does all the talking. What do you hope your listeners take away from your music? I always hope listeners connect to the characters and moods of my music. I want listeners to feel like they can walk around inside my song, and all of the music and lyrics and other such sensory clues available are convincing enough to make it feel real, in a sense. I want to immerse people and take them somewhere. What’s next for you? I'm working on a new record. I'm thinking of calling it "High & Wild", after a line in a Leonard Cohen song. Hoping to release in early 2020, maybe Valentine's Day for all the romantics out there, but probably not. Might not be the right mood for Valentine's Day.

Coming from the prison city Huntsville, Texas and currently in Hollywood, Los Angeles, he has built a body of work ready to push the future forward towards understanding & self empowerment with every waking moment of his time. He believes the body is an organic machine that carries the spirit - hence, the Jacob Machine. M4ch1n3 released a new track titled "Bring Em Out" where he pays homage to the importane of self-worth and empowerment. From genious lyrics like “Had to travel around the world out lookin for some help, but all I ever learned was I had to help myself” to real life facts like “Who here gives a f*ck? If you’re really bout it, put your middle fingers up”. “Bring Em Out” draws attention to the phony fake people we encounter in our lives and sheds light on the realization that we only truly have ourselves to rely on. M4ch1n3 is extremely self-aware and wise beyond his years, his raw lyricism is like looking into his soul. It provides listeners with a true connection to M4ch1n3.

I highly recommend you check out this track and vibe along. The song, “Bring Em Out” is currently available on all digital music platforms. Stay tuned for more from M4ch1n3! Check out “Bring Em Out” here and read more in our exclusive interview below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Jacob Machine! Tell us about how you got into writing lyrics and rapping? How old were you? Writing was my first love. I still have pages I wrote from before I knew how to spell or before I went to school. Since then I've stacked up thousands of handwritten pages of poetry, essays, thoughts and days. I've actually even got every single day written down from my life since September 16th, 2006. With that said, I didn't start making music until I was around 20. I had stacked up a few thousand pages of poetry by that point and was having a hard time getting anyone to read it. To give my words life, over the next few years I sat back & taught myself how to make music from writing to recording, mixing, mastering and producing. What do you do to feed your passion for music everyday? To feed my passion, all I do is choose to live every day. I know that if I do my best on every given day, even if it is enough for the rest of the world, it will be enough for my existence. If I knew I did everything I could or that I wanted to do or thought about doing, by the end of the day I would be happy with myself. If it wasn't good enough for a day, I always know I can wake up tomorrow and live my best life and be my best self again. My passion is fueled by experience and understanding. Every passing moment holds opportunity for both so I just remain active and my passion thrives. Tell us about “Bring Em Out”! It has a heavy lyrical presence, what do you hope to achieve through this track? With my new song Bring Em Out, I wanted to create a song that would be a great experience live for both myself and the audience. In the modern world, it can seem as if no one really cares no matter how good you are or what you do. This is a song for all the people who feel shut out from the world and all the outcasts of religion and society to come out and say, "fuck it - I'm going to be myself and do what I need to do regardless of opinions or doubt. I will stand strong in the face of this fucked up world and speak my truth without fear". What would be your dream venue to perform? My dream venue to perform right now would be at Coachella. Not because of the venue itself or the amount of people that come, but rather because I trust the people at Golden Voice that run the events and many other venues as well. The Golden Voice seem to me to be a great group of people to work with and I hope to establish a better relationship with them as time goes on.  With that said, it's not a venue or place, but my dream right now is to be working with Kid in A Korner. There aren't many places or people in all of existence that I believe could properly handle the vision I have in my mind of the future (hence why I continue to do everything myself for now). So if I want to be anywhere else, it'd be with Golden Voice or Kid in A Korner. Maybe if Elon Musk started a record label I could find a truly proper place for my ideas, but honestly I believe for now I'ma just have to keep grinding and figure out the path for myself. What’s next for you through the rest of 2019? We’d love to hear more! As for the rest of 2019, I'll be releasing 3 albums, 2 books and a movie if all goes according to plan. I've already released 5 albums in less than a year, finished 2 notebooks and finishing up my first fiction novel. 3 Albums: Hollywood Machine (5 track EP based around Hollywood using Hip Hop production, dropping in September) Clockboy & The Adventures of the Kid from the Back of the Classroom (7 track self produced industrial electronic album OCT) A Room Full of Instruments (A live instrumental country/ folk album I'm producing myself as well) 2 Books The Book of Jacob (An Experience) The Machine (My first fiction novel) Movie A Motion Picture of Youth ( a full length feature documentary film about childhood & kids making their own movies in Texas using the 20+ hours of footage I filmed for movies I made from my own youth) & yes. I'm really doing all of this. Every one of these projects will be available in some form online within the year. If anyone out there wants to help any of these dreams become a reality with investment, marketing or communication please just reach out and let me know!

Andi Kay will easily catch the attention of any listener, and uphold that attention throughout the entirety of the song.

We're immediately intrigued by the beat of "Colder Weather" upon listening. Andi Kay's voice is soon introduced into the single, and her voice is absolutely immaculate. The sound of Andi will pierce through your ears in the most gentle way. You can hear the sense of innocence in Andi Kay's vocal delivery, and her voice will glide across your ears like silk. When trying to compare Andi Kay to any artist out there, we simply cannot. Andi Kay's sound is incredibly exclusive, and we get literal chills when listening to "Colder Weather". We feel like we've ranted about the voice of Andienough (but have we really?), and it's undoubtedly what makes her stand out as an artist. It's an incredible feeling to find artists whose voice needs absolutely no alteration, perfect in the way it's executed.

Make sure to check out "Colder Weather" here, and keep reading for our interview with Andi Kay! Hey Andi! Welcome to BuzzMusic! Please tell our readers a bit about yourself as an artist! Hello :)  I’m from a pretty small town and I’m about to celebrate my 9th month in Los Angeles come the beginning of August! I’ve been writing, playing and singing ever since I can remember. When I close my eyes, I can still feel the first time my fingertips brushed up against the cold, silky ivory keys on a piano... It’s almost like electricity darted through my bones, and curiosity as well as instinct led me to perusing it later on. Growing up in a divorced family was tough, when my parents were so different from one another. It made finding myself throughout the years nearly impossible...or so I thought. That’s where writing as well as the journey of teaching myself the piano came in. it’s cliche...and maybe that’s exactly what I am being - another songwriter surrounded by songwriters in one of the most competitive cities in the world. But I don’t care. Music frees me. It’s the only way I can separate my emotions, from my thoughts. It’s the only way I can better understand myself vs. shutting off to the world and to myself. “Colder Weather” had a strong lyrical presence to it. What was the theme behind this record? What motivated you to write this? Most of my songs are about love...but I wanted this song to be a mixture of both the love and the life I left behind back home to pursue music. The winters never seemed to end in the small town where I grew up. Though I always dreaded the cold when it came around, it brought some of my warmest memories along with it. The opening line, “A flash across the sky, frostbit laughter, some years ago December, we only begged for warmer days” goes back to when I was 14 and experienced being in love for very first time. From sneaking out to see each other when it was 30 degrees, to spending hours saying our goodbyes while our kisses were the only thing keeping us warm...we made a lot of sacrifices to make our relationship work. And even though it seemed like the cold consumed us anyway in the end, it ironically was the one thing that motivated and fueled us the entire duration of our relationship. Fast forward to the outro “A flash across the room, the camera shutters, captures first of forever, and a life I could’ve known. I walk along the stars, you walk into the rest of your life and close the door behind. I yearn, and these stars burn, like colder weather” It wasn’t until I ventured out into the big city of Los Angeles that I started to long for what I used to wish away all of those years ago. Not the love, not necessarily my old life, but the feelings & memories I associated the cold with. This part of the song is supposed to show my growth. It’s me accepting it’s not just a juvenile love i’m leaving behind anymore, but my friends, my family, parts of myself...Its me realizing the sacrifices i’m making to peruse my passion have their repercussions though it’ll be worth it in the end. Your voice is incredibly angelic and pure. We loved the atmosphere it created! What kind of feeling do you want to instil in your listeners when they're listening to your music? Thank you ! Honestly I want this song to be a message to everyone out there making sacrifices to pursue what their heart is leading them to do. It’s not easy, especially when you’re trying to make a living off of it. But no matter what, don’t settle. I came to California with a couple hundred dollars & no place to live, yet everything worked out because I knew I was supposed to be doing what i’m doing. So if I can say anything, make the move, take the job, do whatever it is that gives your life meaning and run with it regardless of what people say you can or can’t do! Who would you say has shaped your artistic journey thus far? How big of an impact has this person had on your life musically? My mamaw. She’s been the only consistent person in my life that’s never given up on me despite the miles, struggles and weather. She’s my best friend, & I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her endless love and support. This song is for her. Are you planning on touring at all, or have any upcoming shows we can mark in our calendars?! I actually have my debut show at The Mint in Los Angeles August 20th! Tickets can be found on my website. I hope to see you there ! (; Connect with Andi Kay on social media www.instagram.com/andikaymusic www.mobile.twitter.com/AndiKayMusic

Morgan Gold is a Chicago-based singer, songwriter, musician, and performer. Morgan developed a skill for songwriting at the age of ten, and began exploring her interests in vocal performance and acting. Within 2018 alone, Morgan released two EP’s and two singles, combining for over 11,000 streams on Spotify. She experimented with a variety of sounds, being inspired by a wide range of artists from The Weeknd to Grateful Dead. She began to pick up momentum through live performances, earning sets at venues such as Subterranean in Chicago. Audience members described her sets as “captivating”, and ”a genuine experience”. She took those descriptors, and began to cultivate a “captivating”, stimulating sound that would combine the factors of pop, R&B and hip-hop. “Up All Night” is an eclectic anthem for everyone and we’re obsessed. Morgan Gold expertly recites verses about her personal experience and the ups and downs of love. Equipped with undertones of electronic vibes and alternative hip-hop, the contemporary R&B track “Up All Night” is a sound we’ve never heard before but we’re loving it. The electronics and R&B fusion blends perfectly with the versatile artists vocals and style. The powerful delivery of every word demands to be heard. A meaningful message, “Up All Night” is a track to both galvanize and truly inspire the music industry today. Morgan Gold writes relatable music that all her fans can interpret and relate to. We love what we hear in “Up All Night” and can’t wait to see what Morgan Gold delivers next! Check out “Up All Night” here and read more with Morgan Goldin our exclusive interview below. Hello Morgan and welcome to BuzzMusic! Can you start by introducing yourself and telling us more about your launch into music? Thanks for the opportunity, BuzzMusic! My name is Morgan Gold, and I’m a pop artist from Chicago, IL. I’ve been writing and performing for about ten years, and officially started my music career just over a year ago. I was exposed to a wide variety of genres while growing up, and always dreamt of filtering my favorite elements through a lens that I could develop on my own. It’s been an amazing ride so far, and I’m grateful for the progression I’m experiencing. “Up All Night” is a powerful track! Can you tell us the inspiration behind it? I wrote “Up All Night” in an attempt to call out the trouble I was going through at the time. I was demonstrating very toxic, self-destructive behaviors of selflessness. The track itself paints a very specific image of me sacrificing my nights to help other people who didn’t necessarily deserve it. Although the narrative revolves around me and a woman, its message can be applied to any sort of situation where you give too much of yourself to someone or something else. I wanted all of that fear and frustration to come through on the track, and I’m extremely proud of how it turned out. Does songwriting come natural to you? Can you tell us about your creative process? I fell in love with songwriting at a very young age. To be honest, I started writing because of The Beatles. I admired how impactful their music was on pop culture, and I developed an obsession with recreating those unifying moments through my own lyrics. I typically write the lyrics and the melody at the same time. So if I get a good idea, the whole song tends to create a rough outline of itself pretty quickly. More often than not, I’ll write the chords underneath the lyrics and then hand them to my producer, J. Khaga, and then we’ll go from there. I try to be as honest and as simplistic as possible while letting the themes of my songs take on a deeper meaning. How do you feel about today’s mainstream music? Mainstream music today is extremely fascinating. New material has never been more accessible, and I see more and more people looking further than Top40 radio to find hidden gems that genuinely speak to them. Having said that, I feel as though the world is juggling so many new artists now, that clout is drowning out the genuine connection that music can have with its listeners. But I feel as though we’re just in a place right now where everyone can have a platform, and test it out for themselves. Everyone now has an opportunity to go viral and have their music blow up. It’ll be interesting to see who can withstand the test of time throughout these next few years. What’s next for you Morgan? We're excited to hear what's next from you! I’m currently working on a new single for my debut album. Now that I’ve found a sound that I’m proud of, it’s time to build upon it, and push beyond my capabilities. I’m extremely proud to be representing a new sound to come out of Chicago, and J. Khaga is the perfect partner for it. You’ll be hearing new music from me starting this fall, and it’ll only be the beginning.

An extremely versatile track, “No Feelings” is easily relatable, we’ve all been through the ups and downs of love and have been left scarred. It’s easy to put up a wall and be stone cold and lack emotion. Katana knows this better than anyone and demonstrates her expansive knowledge throughout “No Feelings”. The contemporary pop track “No Feelings” features undertones of soul and R&B. Katana puts her heart and vulnerability on display in the most pleasing fashion. We love everything we hear from Katana and we can’t wait to see where her future musical endeavors take her next! Based in London, UK, Katana is a gifted singer/songwriter always releasing new content. Born in Moscow, Russia, Katana moved to the UK to pursue her dream of becoming a successful singer. Katana has previously been compared to Amy Winehouse and Adele, if we could fuse the two together. At only 23 years old, Katana is able to transport her feelings and thoughts into her musical poetry, therefore establishing a mesmerizing mix of soul and rhythmic textures. Check out “No Feelings” here and read more with Katana in our interview below! Welcome back Katana! Can you tell us more about how your passion for music originally developed? I’m glad to be back! Well, It probably was always there, you know. Everyone has that one special thing that there are passionate about and destined to do. Music has been around in my life since I was born; my father is a musician and a very talented composer, and both of my parents are great singers. Especially my mother, I think her voice is angelic. So, since I can remember myself my parents would always involve me in listening to music of different kind, from Jazz to Hip Hop. I’m thankful to them for bringing music into my life. We love your new song! Can you tell us more about “No Feelings”? What inspired it? I started writing this song when I was dealing with depression, I needed to get my thoughts out of my head, but sharing it with someone was to hard. So, writing a song was a way to get it out of my system. However, I only finished the song recently, I guess i needed to look back and reflect on myself at that time to express what I actually felt. It’s funny, how all of my song are sad and dark, because I’m actually very happy at the moment. I guess, this is just what I want to share, it’s a stage of my life that I need closure from. I want to be brave and share this part of my life with people. I truly believe that we all have to be more honest and open with each other and not to be scared of saying the truth. I was hiding mine for way to long and it really hurt me. How do you think your upbringing affects the music you create? I think all the experiences that we have definitely affect the decisions we make and they way we act. For sure, all of my life affected my musical taste and they way I create music. Every time I create a new song I feel like it is better than the previous one. I am evolving and so does my music. What do you hope your listeners take away from your music? As I said before, right now my music is dark and quite sad, but I hope that it will find its listener and connect to them in a special way. I’m sure, I’m not the only one who was, is and will be going through hard times and I hope my music will make other people more confident in opening up to others. I want my music to inspire others, make them feel and think. Do you have any exciting events you’d like to tell us about? We’d love to hear more! I’m very exited to announce that I’m currently working on my EP which does not have a title yet, but hopefully it will be out in September. I’m working very hard, trying to create something special and that will find its place in the music industry. I am a story teller and I hope my story will find its listener.
