Currently living in Phoenix, Arizona it could be quite difficult for an artist to gain some buzz. For 24-year-old CincoTheWolf, he’s originated from a place where hip-hop is present. Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, California. Cinco began taking music seriously for about 2 years now and released his first EP titled “PRE” in the later parts of 2018. His musical influences? Well, they range from various artists including Outkast, Tony Toni Tone, Nelly & Michael Jackson. He likes to portray real-life experiences through music with his deep and relaxed vocal tones. CincoTheWolf released his single titled “RODEO”. The most notable element in this record would have to undeniably be the articulation of each punchline and the way he still delivered melodies that coexisted with the arrangement of the production. This well-polished single had multiple variations and transitions in tempo that can transform the mood of anybodies. The lyrics were playful yet still had an interesting metaphorical meaning that caused us to be invested with what the possible theme of this song could be. The beat was banging, adding a club-like dimension to the song. Although, “Rodeo” isn’t your typical clubbing hit, it still remained fruitful for a nice vibe to catch. This catchy song will have you fully invested into the artistry of CincoTheWolf and what he could possibly offer us next? Check out "Rodeo" here and read more below in our exclusive interview! Thank you for sharing your music with us CincoTheWolf! Knowing that the music scene isn’t that heavy in the Arizona area, what are some main challenges you’ve faced in your career and in what ways do you overcome these? Crazy thing is the music scene in AZ is very well alive and active just doesn’t have that main stream notice YET at least, the biggest challenge in the AZ music scene for I and those alike I believe would be expanding our overall fanbase in the state. In AZ its very close, with pockets of tight knit clubs featuring a couple artist as the nucleus, but don’t get me wrong when I say everybody knows everybody, many of these artists and their fans have known each other since childhood or just through the community. Along with it all and the immediate support from peers, comes major egos, I’ve run into artist alike in the grocery store, gym, just regular places (cause most likely indie artist are “regular people” with 9 to 5s) and dudes will treat me like I’m the groupie and they are Drake not even knowing I probably have a larger fanbase and make actual revenue off my music, and these will be people living less than a 20 miles radius away from I and others, the animosity between creatives is horrible, there is this sense of “I already made it” when everyone outside of AZ knows that isn’t the case for our HIPHOP scene, instead of coming together to actually put the state on the map hopefully mirroring what areas like Atlanta and Texas have done with their teamwork. Overall genuine fans in AZ are tough to come by just because they may be a major one-sided supporter already of one artist or even doing it themselves, many times someone will approach me as a listener but end up being almost a rep for a local artist then the convo turns quickly into “have you heard or you should collab with” not much is ever genuine. To overcome it I just continue to move with positivity I’ll take the time to reach out to those alike I have visions of working with and who’s music I’ve listened to and do enjoy, networking on the nightlife, but weekends in AZ can be very unorganized with events happening around the same days and times, I protect my energy and only “show love” to those who show it either first or back regularly, usually mixed singles is a “No or I’m not serious” so I capitalize on building relationships with those who only want to build just as bad and you can pick up that vibe the first few minutes of a call, direct messages, or in person cause as mentioned AZ is small everyone knows everyone you’ll for sure run into a local artist at the Circle K or featured concert that weekend, it makes the creativity process much more fun and easier to get down to business and just make music. Let’s talk about your first EP, “PRE”. were you able to find your niche as an artist through this project? In my opinion, nah definitely not did not find a niche within anything, PRE was just that the “pre-game” to the real show. My motto is to Evolve. “PRE” literally is short for “pre-evolution” among other things. Everyday is a new level to be obtained to get to the perfect overall form of myself and my music. I just recently hoped off the college basketball courts when I decided to really take music serious and go record basically saved notes I had for years, I found out a lot about my voice and how to work the different sounds I cold create from my chest to throat, my output of what I think is high energy is comprehended as low by most unless I outright scream on a track my style on PRE was dark, low, searching, undefined but there. My lyrics aren’t clean and I like it that way, it’s my language, it’s how I would talk to my friends/family about my experiences I go through, no filter just being me, Cinco always telling story about some girl or what happened out of town on a trip, that’s always me. I did find out through the EP, that I can write, I write all my own music and every lyiric I can tell a listener who it is about or the situation in my life where it took place, I write everything down to every adlib. My life as a bachelor is the epitome of “PRE” it centrals around multiple women of course, sex, inner thoughts I was having while in relationships, just complete overall honesty in my music. Nothing is made up or added in, every line I can pull and describe where in my life I got this from. Lastly anime, I think anime has a lot more substance than live tv, it can be written very well and many times I find clarity in anime episodes where main characters often seem to overcome a major hardship, I use anime to relate back to my love life, helps with similes and metaphors and then also keeps my mind youthful and energized with the constant action and plot developments, anime is my hidden secret gem to defeat writers block. In what ways have your music changed since your first releases? I released a freestyle (No Lookin Back) after “PRE” first to show people I could rap on the spot not just write, though my two latest singles “Multiply” and “Rodeo” I feel are major level ups from anything on “PRE”, Multiply showed that I wasn’t just messing around and can continue on with the conscious bars, people have a perspective on me that I’m quiet, shy, and maybe even a nerd, cause of the anime ? I take pride in the line by Lil Wayne “real G’s move in silence like lasagna” [ I’m not really trying to prove my stripes to AZ because they exist on ME, I’m originally from Los Angeles, California and am very connected to my family and culture there. Things not within my control brought me to Phoenix and have kept me out here but I’ve grown to appreciate the state, though I did want to portray that I’m a bonafide, hustler, mogul, entrepreneur that knows both sides of every game through Multiply. Rodeo is my true LOVE, I wanted to make a bouncier song for my listeners their opinion is very important to me, I mainly took it out the stash and dropped it to capitalize on the country rap epidemic that seems to be happening right now e.g. Meg Thee Stallion, Tyga, YG, and LilNasX I actually have two more along the country rap style ready to go whenever. I felt Rodeo was so different as far as my energy output and mastering my own singing plus it still featured much of my originality with the anime pun lyrics “Gimmie yo guts I go Berserk”(Guts is a main character from the anime Berserk) “I choose you to make it Squirt” ( Pokémon analogy choosing Squirtle the water type character or liking a certain girl cause of her sexual experiences we’ve had.) Personally, felt like I attacked the chorus just how Intended approaching it deep and widening my “singing” range on the mic with more enrgy than I’ve ever shown on those adlibs. It was the perfect song to drop headed into this summer then the AZ western vibes out here just added to it I really plan to see this song blow up before 2019 is over NO CAP I think its that good and I really critic myself hard. What’s the theme behind “Rodeo”? We loved this song! In what ways does it reflect you as an artist? I had Rodeo written in pieces since June of 2018 I had been writing new music for after PRE, before even releasing PRE lol. I had been on a Young Thug ‘Beautiful Thugger Girls’ binge at the time (he is one of my favorite artist and I’m really fond of the tape especially the songs featuring artist Millie Go Lightly) and just kept saying to myself and my engineer/ partner in a crime ‘Caprice’ (twitter @capricegotti) “we should try some country sounds in my music”, right after saying that Nelly-E.I came on the radio, I’m a huge Nelly fan literally grew up to all his music even owned the SWEAT/SUIT tape when I was like 6 years old played it day and night ! It inspired me so much to really attempt a country / rap song. Then I came in touch with producer Aaron Tago who produced several songs for artist NBA YoungBoy, JayDaYoungan, and most recently Yg & DaBaby (Stop Snitchin) record. Right away I noticed this beat with Number 5 from Kids Next Door one of my favorite cartoons as a kid and one of the influences for my name “Cinco” located on the thumbnail, when it started I just kept saying “ She go wild and riding it like a Rodeo” and from there I kept adding onto it, working on my delivery knowing I wasn’t going to provide an airy energetic vocal I stuck with my deeper voice and just practiced the adlibs almost more than anything adding that light energy in the back to compliment my deep voice. What’s next for you CincoTheWolf? I’m working on visuals for Multiply and Rodeo to go along with my upcoming album titled “Everyday Is Friday” planning to be released August of this year, I’m very excited about how it has come together I’m bringing cleaner production, more professional styled music with that mainstream quality of bounce to it because its important to have plus that is the goal to breakout of the underground in AZ and transition into the pop mainstream. I didn’t stray away from PRE too much though I decided to stick to my lane and provide those down to Earth songs where the lyrics provide that substance around everything I’ve been on; women, sex, relationships, sense of searching for more. I also put together my own show “Power to the People” that will be July 6th here in Mesa, AZ at the ‘Nile Theater’ featuring some of AZ’s best upcoming artist like NVXH(NASH), Snotty, MxGriff, King Emmitt, KTtheIntellect and being hosted by Jalopy Bungus. That will be on July 6th and should be a great turnout for everyone, it will be a chance to preview some of my new music, plus bring to attention those past songs (iDKiDGi, inHerState, ICFWUNM, Work3x) people may have not really picked up on from “Pre”. As of right now I have been working on video treatments to both songs Multiply and Rodeo along with several unreleased tracks hoping to drop videos for those this month as well as lining up some shows out of the state through out 2019 to develop that fan base. I also plan to continue my fitness modeling having worked with Reebok and Penn hoping to get more into that lane, as well as acting to help reach more people and network with creatives alike. I’m constantly brainstorming, creating and pushing for what I really think I deserve. I'm working on a cover to Bryson Tillers Canceled along with some local features, just plan to see Cinco on those billboard charts very soon and in a city near you !

Sarah Avalia is a gifted pop singer/songwriter from Perth, Western Australia. Growing up heavily involved in performing arts, Sarah developed her passion for music at an early age. Now releasing her own music, Sarah had a huge launch into the music industry in 2016 with much success. Her debut EP featured her first single “Soar” and had almost 50k streams! After the release of her debut EP, Sarah had the opportunity to begin performing live shows. Since 2016 Sarah has been performing live across Perth at events including the Hyde Park Fair, the Wanneroo Show and the Kalamunda Show. With many more singles and notable performances, Sarah Avalia is a star on the rise. Freshly released, “Used To Be” is a light pop tune with layers of acoustics and catchy backbeats. Fused with the colorful sound arrangements of Sarah Avalia’s spectacular voice, the tone and range in her original vocals is hypnotizing. The lyricism and emotion behind her words is captivating throughout the single and I’d love to know the inspiration behind this track. The upbeat drops of the song include mind-blowing acoustic riffs to keep you head bobbing throughout. Emotionally-rich and hard hitting,“Used To Be” is a huge leap in the right direction for this up and coming alternative pop diva, Sarah Avalia. I highly recommend keeping up with this brilliant artist to see where her creative flare takes her next! Listen to “Used To Be” here and read more in our interview below! Hi Sarah! Can you tell us more about yourself and what inspires you to write music? I am from Perth Australia and have been writing and releasing music for the last 3 years. Since the release of my first EP back in 2016 I have been performing around my home town and collaborating with other artist's while working on my own music. I get inspired by many things whether its just every day life or from listening to other artist's music gets the creativity flowing. What really inspired me to become a singer was artist like Beyonce, Pink and Katy Perry I used to watch all their concert videos throughout my teenage years and just got so inspired from their music, their shows and their overall dedication and passion which really made me want to start writing my own music. Can you describe your stage presence and live performance? I love to use the whole stage and connect with the audience. Usually my performance goes from anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour where I perform a combination of upbeat songs and ballads. “Used To Be” is a great song! Can you tell us the meaning behind it? Thanks! It's about a relationship that has gone rocky and is starting to fall apart and you're left wondering if this is how its going to be from now on or can you go back to that good place and how it used to be. What challenges did you face when writing this single and how did you overcome them? Well originally this song was completely different, I had different lyrics and melody up until I received the music for the song which is when I decided that I didn't actually like what I originally had and felt that it needed to be different. The music itself actually inspired me and with this I started writing the melody and lyrics that suited the song a lot better. With the changes I'd have to say that the biggest challenge was the verses because the new chorus came so natural and then I had to try and re work the verses from what I originally had that would work better with the new chorus. To overcome these, I just let the music guide me and eventually the story started to unfold. What makes you so passionate about music and how do you continue to feed that passion? Just the feeling that I get from performing or even singing in general keeps the passion alive and also just watching other artist perform.

Yung Apaulo was born and raised in Barrie Ontario. He always loved music growing up as it got him through countless good and bad times. Once he began making his own music, he felt as if this was something he was meant to do. He didn’t have much growing up so he worked a difficult job full time and tried to balance it with music the best way he could. When he first began his career, he was making music on his phone with his earphones and mic. He’s still pretty small, however, he’s slowly working his way up although the views don’t matter to him, he just wants to make music for him and everybody else to enjoy. Yung Apaulo Released “Pardon Me” featuring the rappers Kimo and Kil. “Pardon Me” began with a haunting introduction with a dramatic piano key melody. Right before the dark-like vocal resonance transitioned in, with a dope beat supporting it. “Pardon Me” had an extremely catchy hook with the most whimsical lyrics we’ve ever heard. The bars in this record were super dope. Many people would love the metaphors and punchlines Yung Apaulo, Kimo, And Kil created. Although the song doesn’t have much length to the record, within those 2 minutes you feel an entire jam session with these 3 young talented MC’s. Each rapper brings a different dimension to the song while riding the beat in 3 different waves. It felt as if each verse from each rapper distinguished them apart due to how each one was so vibrantly different. However, after you received one killer verse, another one transitioned in, creating a back and forth oscillates of punches from each rapper. “Pardon Me” can be a huge hit that could essentially skyrocket the careers of these 3 young gentlemen. Listen to "Pardon Me" here and get to know more about Yung Apaulo below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Yung Apaulo! In what ways has your upbringing essentially impacted your artistry today? Ever since I started to become an artist people have definitely looked different at me, some in good and some in bad ways. Both have helped me grow in good ways we’ll the hate keeps me motivated the love and support makes me feel good. Who are some of your musical influences and in what ways have they inspired you as an artist? One of my biggest musical influences is juice Wrld I’ve been listening to him since he released his “mmm freestyle” I liked how he is always him self and has his own cool style and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. I can also relate to him because he’s not afraid to hide anything and speaks his mind. Let’s talk about “Pardon Me”. this was a HIT. what was the entire vision behind this? The vision behind pardon me was made by the producers kimo and kil but my personal vision with the song was just to have a great song everyone can enjoy and blast on their speakers in their car or at home! How would you describe the arrangement in “Pardon Me”? We loved the execution of it.The arrangement in pardon me was perfect with kimos catchy hook and kils fire verse with mine back to back sounded amazing together and flowed just the way we wanted it to. Any exciting summer plans Yung Apaulo? This summer I’m putting my main focus into music we’ll still tryin to grind out work but also have some great times with friends and party!

With an EP titled “The Darkside” out now, Nick Flamel is on the rise, check him out and stay on the lookout for what he delivers next! Check out “Enter The Darkside” here and read more below in our interview! Hi Nick! How did you get started in making music? I started out in the church as a drummer around age 6. Eventually I joined the school band where I learned how to actually build and structure music. I decided to actually take the time out to record around last year. My friends were use to hearing me rap all the time but after they learned that I could actually compose music they pushed me to go ahead and put some material out. What is the meaning behind “Enter The Darkside”? I really couldn’t give a simple answer on that so I’ll just say the meaning could be relative to each listener and their perception. What do you want the listener to take away from this track? I want them to take away the lesson of balance. Often time we shun the darkness and avoid unpleasantries or anything negative and label them as bad. Instead, I encourage people to embrace the darkness as much as the light and balance them out. That’s all ying and yang is. A balance of both sides. Is there any artist that influences your sound? If so, who? Kanye West, Kevin Gates, Kadriene and Damien Cleark, Sam Smith, and a bunch of Orchestra composers many people wouldn’t know haha. What’s your favorite part in “Enter The Darkside”? “Everyone hates us, everyone’s scared, Everyone fear what the don’t understand” Pretty self explanatory. Humans sometime shy away from things that go beyond their comprehension abilities. But a person can learn to love, understand and appreciate things they never though they would just by having an open mind.

Realmz is an artist who was born and raised in Tottenham. The North Londoner has been involved in music for over 10 years, dating back to when he first heard his peers on the raw sounds of grimeback in his schooling days. He always had an interest developing in music, following in his father’s footsteps, who as a teenager was part of a sound system called ‘Justice Sound’ known in North London, followed by a Garage/Grime collective known as the ‘Demlott Family’. Now the 27 year old artist is able to explore his diverse taste in music which is currently influenced by a wide variety of musical influences; , notably including artists such as Ab-Soul, Joey Badass, Skepta, and Musiq Soulchild. Realmz is adding a neo-soul perspective with his latest hit titled “Chestnut Freestyle”. What we loved about this song was the dark element provided in the lyricism. Yet the lyrics still delivered a strong substantial meaning. Realmz doesn’t contain anything fraudulent about his artistry and he showcases that with an authentically arranged lyric arrangement. The way “Chestnut Freestyle” was composed wasn’t meant for the listener to just get “Crunk” too. I mean, of course the song had a banging energetic presence, but Chestnut’s Freestyle’s lyricism seems to be the main focus of the song. Which is great. We need more raw lyricists like Realmz. In a way this weaved between two sub-genres of rap,the neo-soul lyricists and the trap rappers. This combination was a lethal one, and the end result was musically deadly! Realmz is a unique rapper who grasped our attention off his complexed verses and detailed articulation. Listen to "Chestnut Freestyle" here and get to know more about Realmz below! Hey Realmz, welcome to BuzzMusic! Can you tell our readers about yourself and your music? Yooo it’s Realmz the Introverted Being!  I’m from Tottenham, London. Ive been taking music seriously for about 2 years now and Im just here to create, shed light and spread love and I do that through my music. I got the name Realmz cause I’m often just in my own world so to speak and travel different realms haha if you know you know. Different Realmz doing laps took a trip had to double back. What would you like new fans to know about your music? I bring a neo-soul perspective, combined with a psychedelic and trippy vibe, delivered with sharp witty raps over incredible music. I talk about my environment and real life experiences I’ve been through but deliver that in a palatable way. Just spreading love and good vibes. I have a diverse taste in music influenced by a wide variety of artists such as Ab-Soul, Joey Badass, Skepta and Musiq Soulchild. The list goes on... Let’s talk about this super cool song “Chestnut Freestyle”. What was this record about? I wrote this song on the plane on my way to Jamaica to see my Great Grandma who turned 100. It was an emotional year for me “This year its been crazy!” I lost a good friend at the start of the year to a car crash. RIP NRG! My best friend lost his Grandad the same day and my dad had a heart attack just before I flew out to Jamaica. So Chestnut Freestyle is an accumulation of all those emotions but but also sheds light on how I overcome these emotions and not just myself, everyone! 2018 was a crazy year for everyone I know. The artwork is actually a composition of the view from my Great Grandma’s house and the Chestnut tree from where I’m from in London. So it represents where I’m from within me. How would you describe the lyrical arrangement in “Chestnut Freestyle”? Was there any specific styles you were aiming for? Tbh I don’t really put much thought into arrangement when I’m writing. I just follow my vibe and go wherever it takes me. If it sounds right it sounds right and I just go with it haha but I wanted to start of slow and gradually build up. I feel how the song starts grabs listeners in terms of flow, delivery and the beat itself and then I switch up the flow half way in with the double rhyming and lil singing ting at the end. What’s next for you Realmz? I’m currently working on two EP’s. The first one I’m gonna release is called ‘RESET’. It represent a new beginning and I got a single ready to put out before that so keep your ears and eyes open. Also planning to drop some videos soon. I don’t stop writing so I got a lot on the way trust me. Just keep your third eyes open! 1619 forever!

We’ve all wondered what happened to the one that got away. Do they think of us, do they share the same fondness for memories past? Cavern Company puts their heart on their sleeve with their latest release ‘God Willing’. The cascading guitars are accompanied by a building beat; like feet pounding the pavement, running from your fears, the world drowned out by the sound of the thumping against the pavement, that’s how the drums reverberate on ‘God Willing.’ The track is brilliantly composed with its soft melodic piano, tender, nostalgic vocals, folk influenced guitar and chugging drums. It’s the tender lyrics that really captivate the listener: “How to handle carefully, Something so fragile is lost on me, All that I know is I loved you then, When we were dancing…When we were dancing.” The song, even with its sense of loss is dreamy and romantic. Whoever this pair is that shared those dance lessons, they left a lot of love behind on that dance floor- and for a listener to pick that up from the music, that’s excellent song writing, and an overall exceptional performance from Cavern Company. Longtime friends and now bandmates Kole McLaren and Joshua Warren met fellow band mate Zach Shomaker at college in the spring of 2015. The trio began experimenting with sounds and honing their craft. After a year of meticulously sharpening their sound it wasn’t just their music that had a firm foundation; the trio had transformed into the group we now know as Cavern Company. The group’s vision “is to have a sound that is not just heard but felt;” and might we say, mission accomplished gentlemen. If you’re craving catchy melodies, timeless and emotionally resonating music, stream ‘God Willing’ today by the Cavern Company. Listen to "God Willing" here and get to know more about Cavern Company below! Hi Guys. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us at BuzzMusic. Can you start off by telling our readers a bit about yourself as a band? Hey! We are happy to be here. Cavern Company is a 3 piece Indie Rock band based in Oklahoma City, OK. Coffee and Mexican food is the foundation the band was built on when we formed back in 2015, it’s what has kept us going up to this point. In all seriousness we love making art together and writing songs that hold both musical originality and lyrical candor. Most of our songs were written about our own personal stories that we felt someone else needed to hear and we are grateful to be able to perform these songs live for our fans as often as possible. We loved your latest release ‘God Willing.’ This song really does paint a picture for the listener, can you tell us the meaning behind the song? “God Willing” is arguably the most difficult song we’ve written to date for a multitude of reasons. Not only was it a challenging song to write from a purely musical standpoint, but it was also a difficult story to tell, or rather retell. The lyrics of “God Willing” detail a very difficult time in our drummer’s life where he fell in love at the most inopportune time, losing that love as soon as he found it. He asked that the band help him tell this story as a way to process everything that had happened, and so that he might have a sense of closure. So for anyone who hears this song, we hope it creates space to remember and process both happy and hurtful memories. We hope it helps people peacefully move forward with their lives in the midst of heartache and loss. What does the creative process look like for you guys? Creativity tends to be a collaborative process for us. Often times one of us will bring a piece to the band that the rest of us then write around to compose a song. It may start with a single guitar riff or drum groove and every now and then one of us brings a full song to table that we put through the "Cavern Company filter" to see where it goes. Through the years we have naturally learned our strengths and weaknesses in the creative process so we each know where we can best fill in blank on an unfinished song to make it what it needs to be. Overall, we have learned that creativity and songwriting is ultimately hard work and is much less romantic than some artists would have it seen. Usually our best songs are the ones that we've spent the most time with to ensure we are making the best creative choices for the song. When we spend hardworking hours in the studio things begin to click and that is typically when the magic happens and turns into something beautiful. What artists have really shaped your creative process? Who made you want to create your own sound and reach the masses as your role models have? A) This is one of our favorite questions because part of what caused us to pursue music in the first place is having been inspired by the artists we admire. One of the biggest influences for us in the writing room is Death Cab For Cutie. Their lyrics are both familiar and personal and they don't stick to the confines of writing just "radio friendly" music. Whether its composition, lyrics, or a chord voicing, their creative choices have always stuck us in a way that most other artists don't and we strive to write songs in the same way for our listeners. Another is the band Phoenix as their use of synths and linear guitar lines have always pushed us into new territories within the indie rock/pop genre. Once again, we are drawn to their out of the box thinking and that has really shaped how we write. (B) I think this answer is probably a bit different for each of us in the band. But, aside from Death Cab and Phoenix we've been collectively influenced by bands such as The Killers, Henry Jamison, Young The Giant, Colony House, and The 1975... I'm sure there's many more but these bands have been instrumental (pun intended) for us in working to develop the sound that you hear as Cavern Company today. What’s next for you guy? Now that the EP has been released, we are spending our time writing new music for our first full length record. We don't have a release date for that yet, but we are excited to be in the studio again where the work, creativity, and occasionally magic happens. We are also prepping for our "So This Is Happiness Tour" that we leave for in about a month. We can't wait to hit the road as we will be covering much of the Midwest and playing quite a few new places. We are grateful for the opportunity to get this music out to new fans and friends and hope to be able to say that for many years to come.
