Who is the magnificent Kaesevyn? Kaesevyn is a 22-year-old rapper who specializes in Hip-Hop & Rap music. With over 900 followers and subscribers across Instagram, BandLab, and Youtube, his content has over 5,000 total views since 2018. Kaesevyn has been inspired to make music since 2014 when his father passed away, and only began releasing music in 2018. He released the single titled “Queen Alice” and what we loved most about this record was the lyrical message it gave. I liked how this song felt in a sense, dedicated to somebody. Therefore, while listening to “Queen Alice” I was able to personally relate the song to somebody else in my own specific life. The lyrics were so foretelling and relatable, you had that easy pathway to liberation and creative expression. The melodic background reminded me of a laid-back neo-soul type of vibe. It was subdued with lo-fi elements. Kind of like a more stylistic elevator bop. “Queen Alice's” biggest component is in fact, the lyricism that’s provided in the song. Many records have key features that may range from the beat to the vocals, but for me, in “Queen Alice” it was the lyrical arrangement. I loved how Kaesevyn essentially opened up about his inner thoughts and feelings in the songwriting. Thus giving us the idea that he’s a raw ordeal who isn’t afraid to shy away from vulnerability. Queen Alice was a nice offering that many fans of the classic hip-hop culture can digest easily. Listen to "Queen Alice" here and get to know more about Kaesevyn below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Kaesevyn! Mind telling our readers a bit about your upbringing and background? What inspired you to begin making music? I was born & raised in Cleveland, Ohio. My childhood wasn’t the absolute best but, it wasn’t the absolute worst either. My biggest plight was that as a kid, I could never explain myself. I never got the opportunity to tell people what was on my mind or how I felt about certain things, because I was a kid and I “didn’t know any better”. I got my start in music around 2010 when I was 14 years old and my dad passed away. Kind of clowning around with my brother and some of his friends, they made silly raps and asked if I wanted to try, so I said why not. Few years later, I found that the more music I listened to, my taste in it began to grow. So I started writing more serious songs, really touching on topics and events that were important to my character, and people started listening to what I had to say. So, I figured that I needed to present myself as someone that could be relatable for everyone. A jack of all trades, if you will, so that anyone could listen to my music and find something in it. Whether it be happiness, sadness, anger or peace, I wanted to become the catalyst of hip hop for the people around me so that we all didn’t become cookie-cutter artists/musicians or stereotypes of a culture. How would you describe your songwriting approach? Where do you find your inspiration for writing the perfect hit? Normally what I do is I let my emotions drive the kind of song I want to make. Unfortunately, I’m a perfectionist by nature, so I’m always battling myself with doing something better than what I’ve already done. Other times, I get random creative spasms and just kinda let the juices flow. I’ll record a demo track and let 50 people listen to it, revise and re-record it 10 times before I land on something that I feel is great enough to let other people hear. Let’s talk about this single “Queen Alice”. This song felt more personable to you. Was this record dedicated to anyone in your life? Yes, the song is dedicated to my mother, hence the title. My mom has stage 5 CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), which in short means that her kidneys are failing. I made this song for her as a gift for Mother’s Day and she in turn told me to post it. I was hesitant at first, but then she started showing the song to her friends and they started sharing it, and it just kind of took off. She’s still with me now, and just as strong as ever so everything I’m doing now is sort of dedicated to her. What emotion did you channel in while writing “Queen Alice”? Do you think it translated well? If it could be described as an emotion, pain. When I was younger, my mom dated this guy and for 5 years, we didn’t have a great relationship with each other. I grew to resent her and everything she did when she was with him. But in hindsight, now that things are way better between us, I feel guilty for getting so angry and frustrated back then with her. I realized that most of it wasn’t her fault, and that I was mad at the wrong person. So “Queen Alice” is basically my apology to her for my wrongs and misunderstandings about everything. Do I think it translated well? Honestly, no. But that’s because I like to write my songs in such a way so that listeners have to do a little detective work to figure out what I’m talking about. The more you think about what I’m saying, the harder it’s going to stick with you and stay in your head. What’s next for you Kaesevyn? Well, currently, I’m working on this album “Keep It Simple II” and working towards making a tour schedule. I want to focus on finishing this and pushing this as my foot into the industry and solidify my place for being here. I want to take it by storm and be different. I want to be an outlaw in the music world, without any gimmicks or props or personas. I just want to be who I am and let other people choose whether they love me or hate me for being me. Ironic, but, I don’t really care about the fame either. I guess I just want to be able to tell my story, whatever it is, however I see fit to tell it. So when the album does debut, I’ll put a name to the other project I have tucked away in my vault.

I Highly recommend you add this playlist to your daily listens as it is bound to have you hooked after the first minute. Listen to "Somebody" here and get to know more about Gia below! Hey Gia! Pleasure to catch up with you! Can you tell us a little more about yourself and how you found your passion for music? Hi! Thank you so much for having me as a feature artist for BuzzMusic LA! I’m a singer/songwriter from Sydney, Australia. I’ve had this everlasting passion for music since I was born. Growing up, my parents always had music playing. Whether it was Aussie classics, 80’s nightclub, 90’s hits, Rock ‘n’ roll or Greek music - you name it. We had it going on! I absolutely loved when Mum would put on a Greek CD. I would stand in the middle of the lounge room with a microphone and entertain. At the age of four, I got my hands on my first guitar. My father showed me one chord and I took it from there. He couldn’t believe his eyes! “She’s strumming as if she’s been playing for ten years!” he exclaimed to Mum. When I was 13-14 years of age, I began performing in local pubs and at various corporate events. Around the same time, I began to dabble in song writing. I remember performing the first song I ever wrote at school in the auditorium in front of 600+ students and teachers. I can still hear the applause in my head to this day. It was massive! My heart was racing. At that moment, I realised “this is what I want to do.” As someone who loves to experiment with sounds are there any that you particularly loved adding in and what are some we should listen for? I love referring to my Greek heritage and experimenting with particular scales and melodies of Greek/Middle Eastern culture. I combine that with a modern, eclectic twist. Most times, I’ll experiment with synthesisers and electronic rock sounds. This is visible in my latest release, ‘Somebody’, with a punchy synth phrase in the verses. You can’t miss it! What was the creative process like for “Somebody” and what is the meaning behind it? I wrote ‘Somebody’ around a time where I just wanted someone to find me and pull me out of the mess I was in. I wanted a soul mate to save me from myself. You go through rough times in your life and it’s not always easy to remain positive. Doubts and stress fade in and out of your mind. In the end, you can be your own worst enemy. I wanted to be woken up and pulled out of the darkness. Some days, the song is still relevant!  When I sat down and wrote ‘Somebody’, my immediate thought was “This needs to be anthemic! I’m going to make this the song that everyone can shout from the rooftops!” Thanks to my good friends, Dave Leslie (guitarist of The Baby Animals) for his killer guitar solo and Mr Jackie Barnes (Jimmy Barnes) for his thumping rhythms, ‘Somebody’, was loads of fun to record in the studio. We honoured my inner rock chick with this one. What is your driving force for writing music and what are some things that inspire your songs? As cliché as it may sound, music is how I express myself. It’s my release. It’s my life. Whenever I’m stressed or overthinking things (heaven knows I overthink way too much!) I write. I use emotions, feelings and experience to create art, whether it be my own or another persons’, I love the idea of turning your pain into something creative and using it to inspire. I confide in the next blank page of my book, letting the pen write whatever flows through my veins. Sometimes it becomes a song instantly, others, it can take a while and needs to develop. What can we expect to see from you in 2019? It’s all about growth and experience here at Gia HQ. I’m always working on the next idea and trying to keep ahead of the ballgame. Stay tuned! There will be more releases, more music videos and hopefully some more shows here in Australia. I’m definitely looking forward to travelling to the United States one day soon too! For now, we’re focused on making it happen. This brings me one step closer to that goal. Much love to you all!

Clane Matthew, also known as Lancelot Juniour Dean Bravo, is a Jamaican born indie hip-hop artist known for his prolific rhymes about real life. Now residing in Orlando, Florida, Clane Matthew has left his mark in the hip-hop industry, being previously described as “one of the most highly anticipated newcomers on the independent hip-hop scene of 2019” and we have to agree! Clane Matthew’s style of music represents the human struggle and controversial issues within our society. “Who Am I?” is a truly emotive and brilliant track featured on Clane Matthew four track EP titled “Melancholic Therapy”. Clane Matthew stays truly authentic and vulnerable throughout “Who Am I?” and just like the title insists, he gives us a retrospective look inside of his thoughts. His flow and powerful performance come blasting through the speakers. Clane Matthew boasts effortless confidence as he recites bar and bar with precision and emotion. Clane Matthew strives to create music that brings knowledge, peace, awareness, unity and positivity to the world through his spectacular music and meaningful messages. Clane Matthew cares about his fans and listeners, he wants to connect with them by making music that can help them through tough times or inspire them to do better. Listen to "Who Am I" here! Hi Clane Matthew! Can you start by telling our readers more about yourself and how you got started in music? Well I’m a very charismatic, careful, cheerful, wacky and funny person. I love making those around me happy and joyful. I like fishing, traveling and exploring nature, and I’m very adventurous. I got started in music when I was ten in elementary where I realized I was musically inclined. I’ve always loved music but being from Jamaica and given my status, I wasn’t really capable to find that out at an earlier convenience. Throughout the years I’ve listened and studied many hip hop artists and tried my best to learn everything I can. Nowadays the hip hop scene has become so saturated with the same old sounds and same old themes that I just got tired of it. With that in mind I set out to educate, inform and inspire. Because these kids have no more role models, I believe it’s my duty to pick up that mantle and make a path for the future generation through music; and that’s where I officially claimed my self as an artist. How did you create your stage name? So way back in high school when I was just starting out my stage name was L.B., which was basically my initials; then two years later it was Lance which was short for Lancelot. But under a year ago I found it: Clane Matthew. When I thought of it I instantly loved it. It was simple yet, intriguing, and that’s what I want my audience to feel. Claneis basically Lance scrambled, and Matthew means “gift of God” meaning that Clane Matthew is a gift from God to help the world be a better place. And through that I shall use my gift to draw everyone closer to knowledge and truth so they can be a better version of themselves. Also a perk of the name is that no one in the entire industry has it. You can search on google or bing or anywhere; once you type it in, I’m the only one that comes up, and I think that’s awesome! We love your track “Who Am I?”! Can you tell us a bit more about it/ the concept behind it? Thanks I appreciate it! Um, Who Am I? serves as the conclusion to the Melancholic Therapy EP.  It’s a song that reveals to the listener the elements that made Clane Matthew. The EP was basically a self therapy for me where I put out all my feelings and emotions of my past so I can become a better me, as you can tell by the other songs on the EP. I particularly love Who Am I? because it represents the version of me that his healed and set free from my past. Who Am I? serves as the conclusion that I made: that now that I’m free from all this pain, I’m gonna be the person who will set others free from the pain they are experiencing . It’s a conclusion set in stone that, because of this EP, I’m going to be the one to help others make a better life; as said in the song “I’m sick of this shit With the flick of the wrist Imma fix this shit And flip the script, With this EP Imma make sure no kid Ever feels like this” Who are your top three biggest musical influences? My top three musical influences are Kendrick Lamar, J Cole and Childish Gambino. They’ve always been a big influence in my musical career. Their lyricism and word play is unmatched, and I see them as role models. I have all their songs downloaded on my phone. Their flow and attitudes on their tracks are admirable, and I’d love to work with them one day. How have you grown as an artist compared to when you first started writing/ performing? I would say I’ve grown a lot. In the beginning I was sensitive to criticism when it came to my art. I would take everything to heart and I would ponder on it. Now that I’ve been through so much over the years I’ve matured. I’ve realized that not everyone is gonna like my music, and not everyone is gonna agree with what I have to say in my music. I came to the conclusion that difference and individuality is something to be admired. Being true to myself is what kept me in the game for so long. And I am proud of what I’ve accomplished. It’s hard to be a conscious rapper cause everyone is looking for the next banger, but that’s not what I’m about. I’m here to spread knowledge and if it’s gonna take getting through the wrong crowd first to get to the right crowd then I’m all for it. The right ears will hear, and they will be thankful for what I’m doing.

Kunle is a young artist from Rhode Island who at only 19 years old wrote “Mixed Emotions” after experiencing heartbreak. On “Mixed Emotions” was the emotionally driven record titled “Contemplate”. This single instantly brought you into a state of disappointment. I mean, the song was amazing, but the lyrics were so real you felt connected to it the instance you hear it. You placed yourself in that personal experience where you can relate to the lyricism. And trust me, I’m almost positive a big handful of us can relate to this song. “Contemplate” was undeniably authentic. We loved how raw Kunle projected his emotions, delivering it through vulnerability. To me, an artist best work is when they can personally relate and feel what they are rapping or singing. This caused Kunle to deliver strongly, and he executed this track perfectly. “Contemplate” is a nice, melancholic song that discusses the theme of heartbreak, disappointment, and regret. Listen to "Contemplate" here and get to know more about Kunle in our interview below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Kunle! How has it been growing up in Rhode Island? Is there a music scene there you were impacted by? Growing up in Rhode Island especially from my point of view was strange. Family had low income so we moved from home to home. Happened so much that it became the norm for me so I'm not mad about that because it made me get used to change. The only music scene that impacted me even the slightest was a fellow artist/ friend of mine known as Joe Thunder$torm. He was one of the people who gave me the push for making music. Who are some of your musical influences if you have any? In what ways have they inspired you and your artistry? My biggest musical inspiration is and will forever be the late Great Xxxtentacion. I didn’t pick off any flows from him or word play, just originality. He inspired me to be completely original and not try to be like someone else. Be the best Kunle I can be. What was the most challenging aspect in creating “Mixed Emotions”? Working on “Mixed Emotions” was a hassle to say the least. It took me a couple of months to complete the project, but the hard part was making myself vulnerable and releasing a part of me into the public. I'm an introvert so I don’t really like showing my true self How does “Contemplate” emphasis the theme of “Mixed Emotions”? Contemplate is my biggest song. I released that a month early because it set the tone of the whole tape. “Baby girl broke my heart, so I had to put pen onto paper”, is what I wrote in the description of Contemplate. Love hurts but you always gotta overcome and improve yourself so you don’t be left in the past. Not a lot of people know this, but I ordered the songs  in reverse from sad to happy. Once I was sad and depressed and know I'm happy and alive. What’s the impact you hope to leave on listeners Kunle? I just want y'all to continue showing me love! I love it when you guys hit me up saying good things and it keeps me wanting to do more and getting better. I was surrounded by hate a lot in my life and breaths of positivity really helps hold this broken man together. Connect with Kunle on social media: www.instagram.com/kuntakunle #BuzzMusic

Hi Cassandra! Your voice is incredible! What age did you start singing? Thank you! I started singing at the age of three. I'll never forget it. I was cast as the beast in "Beauty and the Beast." It's hilarious to me. I guess it was my long hair which looked like a mane that got me the part. I grew up singing all the time. It didn't matter what it was, I was always singing. I was very involved in musical theatre for a while which definitely helped me develop the gift of storytelling. Interestingly enough, it wasn't until very recently I found my voice and my sound. I connected with the way that I was yearning to express myself truthfully; I connected with my soul. What led me to that was getting out of my head and my comfort zone and allowing myself to be free. Have you ever struggled to be vulnerable within your lyrics? Being vulnerable with my lyrics is something that has always come naturally. Overall what I sing about are experiences I have been through, struggles, and my own thoughts and desires. What I would say I have been struggling with lately is trying to find the balance between being really personal, and being relatable. I catch myself overthinking this. Maybe I should stop. What challenges have you faced as an up and coming artist? How do you overcome those challenges? Two big challenges would be the "feeling" of self-doubt and social media. I want to be real when I talk about this because God knows how I struggle mentally and how a lot of us artists do. I want to say that we hold our fears in our subconscious- whether it's due to traumatic experiences, something someone has said to us that put us down, or anything negative we have have taken on and believed to be true. And if we don't release these things, we can carry this programming for our whole life. This is crazy to say but when I was just beginning, I had to force myself to stay positive. That low feeling would always be there lurking. I had to get to a point where I asked myself "Where the heck is this coming from? And why??" How I overcome this feeling is by being aware of it and not dismissing it. If it comes, why? What's triggered? What's the stupid fear? Then I will let it go. THAT'S KEY. I had to train myself to become more aware of what was going on within me and I had to train myself to practice feeling GOOD. Once I started caring more about feeling good rather than living in fear, things got easier. It is still an everyday practice. What i'll say about social media is to be careful and don't believe everything you see and read. It absolutely can be used for the light but illusion is a real thing. Comparing your life to someone else's is a waste of beautiful time that you could be using to focus on your craft. Everyone has their journey and the right timing for them. Start enjoying yours and trust your vision. I have a song about social media on my EP. It's called "HYMN" and it's one of my favorite records! I absolutely cannot wait to share it!! I overcome this challenge by being aware and reminding myself of everything I just said. :) What was your upbringing into music like? Do you have any influences that stand out? My upbringing into music was all over the place in the best way possible. My parents are music lovers as well so they inspired a lot of who I listen to now. I remember I was around 7 years old when my mom forced me to listen and watch every single one of Michael Jackson's music videos. From then on, I was set. I love all music. I don't have a favorite genre or anything like that. I have many influences but my muse is Erykah Badu. Her music helped guide me. It helped me heal, and inspired me to create like I never had before. Another huge influence for me is 6lack. It is because of him I was inspired to write the  way I do. He is a lyrical genius and I hope to connect with him in the future. I hope to connect with both these legends! Do you have an exact release date for your upcoming EP? Keep your eyes and ears open for July 2019. Connect with Cassandra Jewel on social media: www.instagram.com/cassandrajewel_/

Nick Bryant, better known for his stage name, Enbers, is launching into the music industry with a unique sound for for the folk-pop genre. With a blend of styles ranging from soaring melodies, hauntingly emotional ballads to downright wacky funk tunes, Enbers is rising to the top and quickly. Fresh off the release of his debut single under the name Enbers, he’s got a lot in store for his fans! “Black Mamba” is an incredible new track by Enbers, it’s layered with folk roots, hints of latin themes and a catchy pop melody. Nick Bryant’s vocals are addicting and quirky to the point of alluring. With over 100K streams already, “Black Mamba” has seen huge success. Equipped with expansive musical knowledge, Enbers makes music his fans can relate to in whichever way they interpret the music. Enbers effortlessly bends diverse genres and fuses them flawlessly. “Black Mamba” holds a light-hearted and fun loving upbeat theme, while the lyricism tells a quite different story. The irony of these competing opposites makes for a mesmerizing hit and is guaranteed to capture the ear of a broad spectrum of listeners. I highly recommend you check out this new track “Black Mamba” and stay on the lookout for Enbers 4 track debut EP, released June 10th. Listen to "Black Mamba" on Spotify! Hey Nick! Can you tell us about your childhood and what really sparked your creativity? Well, I grew up in a very musical family. My aunts and uncles were always floating around in various bands and my grandfather had been playing music for over 50 years. I got started around age 15 when my grandfather gave me his coveted Martin D18 Acoustic Guitar. I had always been creative, but the musical spark was lit by receiving that guitar. I wanted to write something with it and make him proud, you know? How long have you been singing/performing? I’ve been playing music both privately and for crowds for about 10 years. I’ve never really been a permanent part of an act aside from a brief stint in a punk bank. I’ve mostly spent this time developing my craft and receiving feedback from friends, strangers at parties, etc. What is “Black Mamba” about? What inspired it? “Black Mamba,” in a literal sense, is about a girl I met when I was 15/16. I had just broken up with my first girlfriend and this girl, “Black Mamba,” approached me with her dark, black hair. We got to talking and she ended up seducing me. More metaphorically, the song is about how love always trumps lust and how you should watch out for those folks who would take advantage of you. What’s your writing process look like? My writing process is typically one of instant inspiration. Although I can sit down and write out a song at will, the ones that I always end up liking the most sort of just “popped” into my head. On my upcoming EP, there’s a track titled “Stickman Stomp.” I had spent 5 days without sleeping and fell asleep on the ground at a park. When I woke up, the song was stuck in my head so I ran home to write it. The insanity I was feeling at that time is very evident in the song. What can we expect from your new EP? This EP is intended to show my growth emotionally and musically. Titled “10 Years,” it’s a collection of songs written between 15-25 years old. “Black Mamba “being the oldest and “Just Dogs” being the newest. Although it only has 4 tracks, each track is VERY different. I’ve even found it hard to identify a genre for my act because of it! Some of it rocks out a bit, other parts are more relaxing and mellow. At the very least, I hope that every listener can find at least one track that appeals to them, don’t be discouraged if you don’t like the first one you hear! They are all very different.

Born to Jamaican parents, Grizzy Wynter grew up listening to Reggae at an early age. All he could remember listening to in his childhood was the sounds of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. He used music as a way for him to escape growing up. He listened to hip hop on a regular basis and started writing raps in high school as way to channel his emotions and find his voice. Finding inspiration from people like Nas, Tech N9ne and Lil Wayne to bands like Linkin Park and Foo Fighters, even things like Marvel comics and anime, anything he could draw from would influence his sound. Grizzy Wynter released the extra hype and highly energetic trap rap song titled “Loco Remix”. The production of the beat will undeniably capture the attention of many hip-hop lovers. Especially those who loves the sub-genre of “Trap Rap”. Grizzy Wynter raps with a chaotically driven delivery. The dynamics in his vocal projection were loud and straight in your face. The bold and charismatically produced delivery gave “Loco Remix” significant amount of personality. This was more than just your typical exhilarating rap song where you can yell the lyrics out word from word, but this was a detailed and meticulously planned song that will have the listener on edge with every new dimension it provides. Nothing we love more than an artist who carefully takes their time with their music to curate the best hit they could possibly curate instead of providing anything unsubstantial. Grizzy Wynter owns his sound, and complements his songwriting with his explosive presentation. This delivery was killer, listen to "Loco" here! Welcome to BuzzMusic Grizzy Wynter! In what ways has your background in Reggae benefitted your artistry and sound today? The way reggae influenced how I make my music it to always make sure that it comes from an honest place and wether it be happiness or pain or anger make sure  you put it all in your music like Peter tosh did or how buju does , Jamaica is always about freedom if your not really being free to express yourself 100% what are you doing. Let’s talk about this single “Loco”, what was the theme you were hoping to provide? Loco is the story of a kid who wants to live like the gangstas do who what's to be Tony Montana but can't get it right who's ego and his surroundings ultimately bring him down , the theme I wanted to convey was how a lot of people get loss in the game and don't make it to a place where they can change and hope living like that will make you loco. In what ways does “Loco” represents you as an artist? Loco is 3 real people's lives that I've known rolled into one song, one of those people is me , I was this kid , not to the extreme that happened to him but alot it was my life , and lives of other people I know , as an artist it's a way to release that anger over my old life and the music I made then to start new and put all those crazy experiences to good use , hopefully someone else hears it and relates and doesn't have to go down that road. What was the most challenging aspect in creating “Loco” ? Having the whole story become cohesive without saying exact places or people , have the song come off hard but not preaching at the same time , making it real but not corny I guess I'd say. What’s next for you Grizzy Wynter? I'm dropping my next visual for my single DOPE ft Sadè Ariel this month , filming the visuals for LOCO Parynoyd remix with Monsta Mack and the end of the month, putting the final touches on my EP "Illuminate" aiming for a end of summer early Fall release , doing a few events all over from Toronto to LA while summer is going down  and just keep moving forward...Oh and I got a couple fire singles I'm dropping in a week or two so look out for those as well.

Overflow is adding a new element to the genre of hip-hop with his new single titled “Brasil”. Brasil had multiple transitions in the beat that transcends into various different vibes including one of pop, one of rap, and even one of dancehall. The multitude of genres fused in one single is what makes “Brasil” so detailed and separates it from other songs in the industry. Overflow kills it with his delivery. A clean-slated flow without an error of struggle. He sounds like Drake to me. A highly skilled rapper who can practically spit on any type of beat. Overflow has a unique presence to his artistry to generate a fan base and attract a crowd into his music. “Brasil” was a nicely executed song that enigmatically captures the listener’s full attention. The paradise-like aura it gives off is perfect for this upcoming summer season. “Brasil” depicts images of laid-back vacationing while remaining a hip, and hype party song in many different areas of the record. Listen to "Brasil" here and get to know more about Overflow in our interview below! Thank you for sharing your music with us Overflow! Where exactly in the East Coast are you located? In what ways have you been impacted by your environment? Right now, I live in Atlanta but I’ve lived in the burbs of Philly and in upstate New York, Ithaca! Before living on the East Coast, I was kicking it back in Chicago, my old stomping grounds.  I’d say that I’m a city kid by heart and by living in and around the city, you definitely pick up things from the locals. Just simple exchanges of words can have a huge impact on us and how we view the world. There have been many times where I’ve set off from my abode with no objective in mind and find myself in situations that become the fuel of my music. My music has to be a genuine expression of myself or be of my own experiences. I seek to keep the truth in my raps and that’s something that has taught me the most. Although there are people of many different cultures and upbrings, there is no point in trying to chase after what they are. Just be you :). But yes, growing up in these different places allowed me to gain a global perspective of the world because most of my friends weren’t from the states. So they imparted their knowledge of their culture to me. When I’m creating music, it’s much more than a personal pursuit. I’m incorporating the lives that have brought me to this very moment. Finishing song after song, I immortalize my memories with those people that have brought me joy and love of life. We loved your song “Brasil”! What was the major theme behind it? Have fun and enjoy the sun! That’s it haha. With some of my other music, I talk about serious topics like taking a hold of your own destiny and Toxic masculinity (both of these tracks will be released soon!)  but sometimes, we need to relax! Albeit important, no one wants to be listening to conscious rap 24/7. We as humans need diversity in every aspect that we partake in; you don’t see people eating the same food every day. So this track came from the perspective of “ Hey, summer is coming up and I want to listen to something that will make me feel like I’m on the beach”.  The way I captured this feeling was by using Brazilian music, hence the title “Brasil”. Latin music has this undeniable trait of making you want to move your body. Were there any specific life experiences that inspired you to write “Brasil”? Not exactly. The song stemmed from an emotion that I wanted to convey, the feeling that you get when you feel the freedom of summer. My track Brasil is supposed to give you that energy that tells you that the world is yours and you can do whatever the hell you want. How would you describe your sound Overflow? I love everything that sounds good, regardless of what genre it’s from. So when it comes to producing my beats, I do not put any barriers on what it has to sound like. Music is meant to be fused together. That’s one of the reasons why I call myself Overflow. I combine all of the genres that inspired me to make music,( Electronic, Hip Hop, RnB, and Jazz), and create something that is unheard of. So it’s an overflow of influences that bring me to make my music.  After the beat is done, then I let my soul pour into the mic and I rock that shit. I have an infinite amount of flows that have yet to be revealed. I’m a shapeshifter that can create his own beasts. What’s next for you? Play more shows, see the world more, hang out with the fans. That’s all I really want. I have an album's worth of material lined up that I plan on blessing the population within the near future, so stay tuned for that!

Will Buck is an artist who was born and raised in the Long Green Valley, a small farming community in Hydes, Maryland. At the early age of 5, Will became obsessed with the guitar and by 10 years old, he was inseparable with his little knock-off Stratocaster and had put a shrine to Jimi Hendrix up in his room. From then on, Will was convinced he had to create a band and save his money to go on tours. But, in 2015 after half a decade, Buck was shattered when the band imploded as they were poised to sign a major management contract, play the biggest show of their career and land a song on a national television network. It was at this point Will took a long hard look at his life and what really mattered to him. He sold everything that wasn’t essential, packed up his old Toyota Tacoma and headed West. At the end of it all, what wins out is Buck’s honesty in his experiences and willingness to share it openly. Will Buck has certainly come off the ropes swinging with the intention of a man hell-bent on realizing his redemption arc, and you can feel that in his writing and performances. As a co-writer and lead guitarist of the nationally-touring rock outfit West Water Outlaws, Buck is no stranger to the stage or the process of creation through self-reflection. Will Buck allows his past trials and tribulations become intertwined with his passion in his new single and first release “Fuse”, which has this bold new direction for the battle-tested road warrior as it manages to blend aspects of vintage rock and roll with the currency of modern music. His hard-hitting riff-rock with grungy lead vocals, complemented by stylish drum parts and lush falsetto backups is dusted with some dreamy melody lines over the top that balance out the grit. The effect rides the line between Cobain and Elvis with accompaniment that feels reminiscent of early Arctic Monkeys and Kings Of Leon. This record had a badass introduction, a kicking bass, and a funky electric energy developing. The attitude resonating across the record is what gets you interested in the dynamics of the song. Will has this slightly seductive texture to his vocal quality. Or maybe it’s the sass presented in the instrumental playing? Whatever it is, it’s FIRE! The melody of the hook was everything, sending chills in my body. This well-tooled song had the most perfectly constructed arrangements. “Fuse” was a trail-blazing song that moves its listener with sonic energy and a soaring acoustic. The layered elements to “Fuse” created a multitude of dimensions for not only the song itself but its artistry. “Fuse” was a transcending hit that excels beyond your expectations. Be prepared to be blown away by this enigmatic bop! Listen to "Fuse" here and get to know more about Will Buck in our interview below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Will Buck! In what ways has your personal journey in music, impacted your artistry today? In my early twenties, I built a band from playing basements to selling out clubs, touring over 100 days a year and opening up for some of my heroes. It was all I ever wanted - to travel the country in a van with my best friends playing music and making it the old fashioned way. Though, after half a decade of relentless work, the band split right when we were poised to sign a major management contract, play the biggest show of our career and land a song on national television. I went from playing festivals in Colorado for 6,000 people to playing open mics on the west coast for 6. I'd lost relationships, watched friends fall into addiction, held onto a brotherhood and slept on hotel room floors for the better part of my adult life to keep that band going and then it vanished over night. Afterwards, I went all the way to Australia for the majority of a year to try and find myself outside of that identity but the one thing I tried to push away the most, music, wouldn't leave me alone. So, I finally gave in and started to write again. My current artistry started to unfold once I touched upon the relationships, mistakes, rises, falls and isolation I felt at that time. I was processing the feelings of dreams being lived and broken and where to go next. What has been the most monumental point your career so far? The most monumental point in my career so far was the day I vowed to sing. I picked up the guitar at age five, which I feel very lucky to have done, however, at some point early on I internalized the idea that I had a bad singing voice. Even though I had been writing songs my entire life, I didn't dare open my mouth to sing a single word to anyone, not even my bandmates. I put all of my energy into the guitar as I idolized guys like Jimi Hendrix, who'd rather speak with their guitar than their words. Nevertheless, there was just one problem, I’d lived past 27 and been through a whole mountain of things I needed to get out and express. So, I decided better late than never and forced myself into intense voice lessons, writing rooms and production classes where I had to sing. It was unbelievably humiliating but through shear grit and perseverance, eventually some sounds started to come out that didn't sound like the worst things in the world. After that, I not only found my unique voice, I turned into a lead singer, frontman and solo artist all in a matter of months. The songs started pouring out of me and it wasn't long before I was in the studio and booking shows as Will Buck. Something that had started as a necessity to express myself had become my whole career and entire focus. It was at this point that I started to feel immense gratitude for what I had been through and my perceived failures. Let’s talk about your music! How do you hope it resonates with its listener? When you create something virtually out of nothing from your own perspective, which is essentially what art is, it’s amazing to me when anyone resonates with it at all. Wether they feel the same emotions you feel, gain a new perspective or wisdom or hope or anything - it’s truly wonderful. I once played a song for a friend in her living room that was about the first year I moved to LA. I worked in a 40,000 square foot warehouse 8-10hrs a day most of the time by myself. I was actually quite grateful for that job, as I wouldn’t have survived the move otherwise but I had no musical prospects, no bandmates and an enormous amount of time for self-reflection on all of the decisions that had lead me to this point in life. The song follows my internal dialogue as I contemplate going under or pulling myself out of this hole for a shot at redemption. Thank god, I chose the second option and the universe responded to my second chance but anyways - when I finished the song my friend said it had to be about her graduate school experience in Pittsburgh. I was shocked and elated to hear that something so personal and specific to my experience had hit home for her. I don’t know anything about graduate school and have only been to Pittsburg a few times over 10yrs ago but something in that song spoke to her struggle and conflicted mindset. It’s very special when the universal messages in your songs, that you might not even fully know yet, come through your personalized stories. Tell us about your new song “Fuse”! Fuse has such a wild history. In the wake of the West Water Outlaws split, I went on my first solo road trip of the west coast and stopped at a childhood friend, Wyatt Strassner’s, place in Orange County. Wyatt had some recording gear in the house and wasted no time setting up an amp, plugging in his Fender Telecaster and saying, “okay whatcha got?”. I played him the main riff from Fuse right off the bat and his eyes lit up like a mad scientist as he started scrambling to plug in some microphones and fire up his computer. 12hrs later the instrumental for the song was done. It was like a song in prison that was just released. I’d had that riff in my head for months but with everything going on, I’d suppressed it until Wyatt handed me that guitar and said, “go.” After that, the instrumental sat dormant for 3yrs. I think we both knew it was meant for something important, we just didn’t know what. Fast forward to 2018 - I’d found my voice, resurrected the song, written lyrics and cut the vocals at Speakeasy Studios with Ross Newbauer in North Hollywood. As fate would have it, I’d reunited with Wyatt who coproduced, played and sang backups on the track. May 9th, 2019 the song debuted even better than I could’ve imagined and those original grungy basement guitar tracks made it and all! Even the guitar solo I did 4yrs ago in one take is on there. I don’t think I could’ve approached those parts with as much angst and desperation as I did back then. Then, Justin Peacock made it all come alive with the mix and Brian Gardner made it slap with the final master. I’m very lucky to have all of those people working on my stuff! What’s next for you Will Buck? I will be releasing a follow up single to Fuse this summer and a 4 track EP to follow. I went to New York City this spring to record the EP at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn with my old pal Andrew Oakley from West Water Outlaws on drums. The guy just slams and I knew I needed that energy on these songs. I’ve been doing a series of select fly-in dates in support of Fuse which I will continue through the EP release but I’m looking forward to the day I get back in the van and hit the road properly again!

Julian Gioffre who goes by the stage name of Jayoolian, is a singer, songwriter and producer based out of the Bay Area of California. He’s fresh into the music scene, as he didn’t quite begin doing music until 2 years ago. He was heavily into hip-hop and rap but would only cater his listening to artists; MF Doom, Ice Cube, Juicy J, A Tribe Called Quest, Dom Kennedy, A$AP Rocky, Nujabes and a little bit of Ab-Soul. However, once Jayoolian discovered the artistry of Lil Uzi Vert, he was compelled by the discovery of something new in the genre of hip-hop. He credits Uzi’s release of the album “Luv Is Rage” followed by “Uzi Vert vs The World” he was forever impacted by the music. Jayoolian began making beats and investing himself into production once he became worn out from editing videos at home. After 6 hours straight of learning his musical software, he built a crave to make music. Then as months went by, his best friend came over to his house and encouraged him to record his first-ever song titled “No Friends”. She hyped him up and inspired him to transform his efforts in making music from a hobby to a passion. A year and a half later, he has networked and created many great connections in the industry has his first album out! We took a listen to the carefree record of “18 Roadster” off his album titled “Trapped”. This outgoing single had a droll appearance to the quick-witted lyrics. The lyrical arrangement of this song was super epigrammatic, which was more than appreciated. He had us entertained thoroughly just by the lyricism alone! The dope vocals represented the style of sing-rap. With a vibrant production, the beat still managed to hold some sense of aggressive trap, displayed in the bass. The rhythmic matter of the beat was perfect for listeners to transform the vibes into something more personable for their mood. You can listen to this song relaxed, or even get hype to it! It’s versatile enough to serve its purpose at different settings of your day! "18 Roadster" was a nice offering from a promising artist who has a lot in store for us. Listen to "18 Roadster" here and get to know more about Jayoolian in our interview below! Introducing Jayoolian! How has growing up in the Bay Area essentially impacted your artistry? Growing up in the Bay Area has definitely had a huge impact on my influence of music and where I am today as a producer/artist. I never really got into having my own taste in music until I started high school, which, even then was such a weird time for me because my parents never really listened to music at home and my taste solely was built off of what I heard during lunch at school or whatever my friends at the time were listening to. Literally if I had grown up anywhere else, I don’t know where I would be in life. How has the journey been for you so far as an upcoming artist? It has been one hell of a journey for me. I remember when I got logic on my computer for the first time and staying up till 4 or 5 in the morning just messing around with the program. It took me months of many garbage beats/instrumentals and poorly put together melodies until I gave it a break for a while and went back to making videos. I remember to this day, my boy had told me to look up what “Music Theory” was and try to learn as much as I could about it and then give making music another try. After 6 solid hours of youtube tutorials/videos on music theory I suddenly had a crazy urge to put together my first track, which lead to “No Friends” being born. Since my first track, I developed kind of like an addiction to creating music, like I wanted to really make something new to the industry one day but I knew it would be quite some time until I would be ready for the world to hear. I lost my interest filming, video games, going out with my friends on the weekends, and even video editing. I really just wanted to go home after work or school and learn as much as I could to really help me grow as a producer. It didn’t stop there either, when I transferred to state college I enrolled in audio production classes and made sure to take as many steps as I could in life to expand my knowledge. Everything was going well but I really didn’t know how to get my track sounding like the way I wanted to how I heard it in my head. During that time I was also in the process of getting a music video shot but the song wasn’t mixed/mastered yet so I had to find someone to help me with that. Later that month the videographer put me on to a sound engineer/producer by the name of “Highlifeflo” who later on became a good friend of mine and helped me co-produce/mix and master my Trapped album! Before the album was finished, I ended up getting scammed by the videographer and got my money stolen by him as well. Oddly enough, that ended up working out to my advantage later that year due to the fact that I ended up shooting a better music video with a good friend of mine “evijanjohn”. Following the music video and the completion of my first album, I managed to network around the Bay Area and get my first show booked in San Francisco. It was a life changing experience for me and I honestly never thought I would be performing in front of anyone let alone my own music. Considering the fact you were heavily inspired by Lil Uzi Vert, is he one of your main influences for your sound and style today? I got into Uzi back in 2016 along with Lil Yatchy as well, it was a whole different style of rap at the time and for me it was super fun and energetic. Me being really outgoing and full of energy all the time really helps me relate to both their music. Him being one of my main influences? Yes, and still very much this day as well as Xxxtentacion. I don’t really define my sound to much really sounding like him or X, but I do heavily listen to both as they helped me get through a lot of personal events I was going through life. I think of my sound as something I found on my own after hours of practicing and messing around with my microphone at home, I don’t try to sound like anyone but myself. Talk to us about your album “Trapped”, what can we expect from it? In what ways does “I8 Roadster” finds its place in the album as a whole? My album is something that is very meaningful for me. Listeners should expect to get a idea on what goes on inside my head, during dark times, successful times, what it was like being in a toxic relationship with my significant other and people who I considered almost as family to me who ended up turning their backs on me, and my growth not only as an artist/producer, but as a person most importantly. I8 roadster is probably one of my favorite tracks on the album. My album basically dives into my feelings and thoughts but I needed to have a track that wakes you up and catches you off guard. I wanted it to be a fun song that everyone can turn up to and just have a good time. It was my first and hopefully one of many more big features to come for me music wise. What’s next for you? I am working hard networking and really just making sure my music gets out there and my audience continues to grow. My main goal for this year is to be on stage as much as I possibly can, performing is something that I have been dreaming of since last year when I put out my first track. I’m really hoping to get a music video going for my track I8 Roadster with my feature (24kgoldn). I also want to get at least 1 more album out there before the year ends as well as stay strong and finish college and get my degree in audio production. Not many people know about this but my main goal for my music career is to either produce a song with Uzi or be on stage performing with him would be a dream come true to me. But for now I am working on 2 new tracks which should be done hopefully in a week or 2 max. Connect with Jayoolian on social media: www.instagram.com/jayoolian #BuzzMusic
