Listen to "Overseas" here and get to know more about Cornered Badger below! Thank you for sharing your music with us Cornered Badger! In what ways have your background and upbringing impacted your artistry? When I was younger I took a couple of piano lessons so that really helped me with my tempo and finding rhythm. The local scene, while still being on the come up, pushes me to keep grinding because I can’t let any of them outshine me haha. My friends offer some constructive criticism when I show them my songs so that helps too. At the end of the day, it’s a team thing. How would you describe your songwriting approach to us? What are some challenges you face in writing a song? These days I’m trying to vibe to the beats more than cram syllables in. The wordy flow is more normal for me when I write so sometimes I have to take a step back and think, “Would people actually like this?” And more importantly, “Would I actually listen to this?” I’ve been trying to simplify my music and just make it unique. Let’s talk about your record “Overseas”, what was the major theme surrounding this song? I was just feeling melancholy that day so I tried to translate that into a song. When I heard the beat, I started vibing to it. Then I showed it to Young Zaire and he loved it. All of our homies loved it too. They kept bugging me to release it so I did. What inspired you to write “Overseas”? My girl from overseas… These calls are getting expensive… She’s still figuring out how to FaceTime… What’s next for you Cornered Badger? More music and visuals for sure. Me, Grandpa Beats and Young Zaire always cooking up.

No problem, Yo what’s good people it’s ya boy Xay Astro aka Astro 3000. I’m an upcoming recording artist from Enterprise, Alabama. I’m here to be the best. What got you started in music? What inspires you? Well I was in show choir in high school (Shoutout Enterprise Encores 2012-2015) and I learned how to arrange music kind of and started to understand theory and everything, but I think what got me started was just seeing how music makes people feel and how it impacts us on a daily basis so I think from a young age that’s what got me started. Anything inspires me honestly but that’s what I like the most, I don’t have one thing setting the tone for how I set into my creative process it’s just I can be influenced by anything in my life or whatever is around me. What does your writing and creative process look like, start to finish? Uh really I just freestyle to be honest, I’ll say like 85% of my music is all just free-styled and I like it that way cause I feel like music should be very “in the moment” and the best way I feel like to capture that is pulling up spitting to the mic with that mentality of my music basically being my daily entries of where I stand or how I am feeling. As an artist, what’s your favorite part of “F L Y”? Ummmm I feel like that hook is untouchable, going into this song I had so much crazy shit going on I couldn’t see straight so when this song came to be it was like the best way to express how I was feeling and I also want to shout out my boys Joseph & Exavis for the beat the cook up process to this was so fun man for real. It was so quick how this happened. Can you tell us more about the meaning behind “F L Y”? So this song was free-styled and done in one take and after I got done recording Me & Joseph knew it was special off rip, it’s crazy cause we will look back at this song in a year and it will probably have plaques by that point hahaha. This is a vibe ahead of its time. Connect with Xay Astro on social media: Twitter: www.twitter.com/XayAstro Instagram: www.instagram.com/xayastro #BuzzMusic

Coming onto the music industry as a triple threat, SayFlex rises from Long Island and brings his own style and uniqueness to his music. Some of Flex’s hit singles include “slow down” (2016) and “automatic” (2017). These two singles really garnered attention to go onto Flex. Although it is great to be working with the industry’s top elites, Flex tends to focus on pushing himself outside of his comfort zone and personal growth. Continuing, this Flex hopes to inspire others to chase their dreams and he always hopes to make way to bringing back emerging talent from New York. SayFlex has a fitting track called “Flexing” which has a sick beat and screams soundcloud rap at its finest. Catering to a more darker hip hop sound, Flex shows his smooth flow and witty lyrics. The hi hats and beat really push the song forward. The lyrical complexity is similar to that of Drake while still staying true to Flex’s own unique artistry. Another artist that comes into mind when hearing Flex’s heavy vibe is 21 Savage. There is definitely some shared vibes in this one which gives it a familiar yet interesting sound. Flex brings an edgy and raw sound that is sure to revive the creative artists on the east coast and can possibly bring back some good rap music. Flex is an artist that you should keep an eye on because his talents will definitely take him places. Be sure to keep updated on Flex's social media for his new music video that will be dropping next month! Check out "Flexing" and scroll down for more content with the artist. Who is your favorite musical artist and why? It’s hard to say since I’m inspired by so many great artist, but I’d say Kanye west and drake definitely would be the front runners for my favorite musical artists. I think they definitely transcended boundaries that were in place in hip hop culture and continue to push the envelope and evolve sound and the culture. I look at Kanye's history, this guy produced hits not only for himself but for a list of other very successful artist and has been doing it 20+ years I thinks that really outstanding. Because in industry that changes so rapidly it’s hard to stay relevant and perform at such a high level. Likewise for Drake coming out at a time where rnb/and hip hop just started coming together, and blending rap/singing as a solo artist wasn’t something that popular, but drake stayed true to himself and continued to perfect his craft and definitely shifted the culture and paved the way for many guys to sing and rap including myself. What is your favorite lyric in “Flexing”? I think my favorite lyric in flexing would be the intro “ouuuu ouuu ouuu ouuu ouuuu” I think that part has a a lot of feeling to it. Especially in context of the song, you ever get ready to go out somewhere, you dress up and you're feeling yourself and you just like ouuuu. That’s where I got the inspiration to start the song off like “ouuu ouuu ouuu ouuu ouuu” If people could take one thing away from your music, what would you want them to know? I’d want them to know that I’m 100% transparent in my music. I like to tell stories whether it’s real life situations I’ve been through, or if it’s a feeling or a dream or something that I want to obtain, I say it in my music. I try my best to translate my emotions and my life experiences in music. I think that’s the way to relate to people. My favorite songs are my favorite songs because they induce an emotion or a feeling that feels good, or something that I can relate to and be like I went through same thing and I connect with the song/artist. What are your goals as an artist? My goal as an artist is to connect to people. I think humans as a race are more similar than we are different. We all experienced emotions like happiness, sadness, love, anger, confusion. A lot of times for me music helps me get through certain situation because it makes me feel as if I’m not alone, as if there’s another person that was in my exact position at one point in their career/life. And the music kind of guides me through, and I would Love for my music to have to same impact on others. What helps you get over a creative block? Creative blocks are really difficult as an artist. At times it almost feels as if you lost your creativity and your just stuck in this space where you want to grow and evolve however you have no direction or motivation or guidance on what to do. For me personally what helps me get over these blocks is to take a step back from creating and and just live life. Like I said earlier a lot of my music is fueled by my life experiences and emotions, and I feel like when your constantly creating you aren’t really living life and you kind of burn out. So just live life for a little maybe a couple weeks maybe a month, however long it takes you to get back to that place where you feel inspired to take risk and create something new and fresh that feels good.

Caroline Gustavsson is an artist who was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1982. She discovered her love and passion for music ever since she was a few years old, and since then music has always been her calling. She taught herself how to play the guitar and began to write and perform her own songs, which became a way for her to channel her feelings and express herself in a creative way. Caroline’s interest in music and love for songwriting was cultivated throughout her years, and she studied both in high school & College! Performing both solos and in different bands, Caroline came in contact with a publishing company that discovered her talent in songwriting and she was signed. Writing in different genres and styles for a worldwide music market, she developed her sense for catchy melodies and hooks even more. Her songs have been released all over the world and she has been rewarded both gold and platinum for her works. Fast-forward to almost a decade later, Caroline returned home to Sweden and created her own publishing company! She quit her day job as a music teacher to pursue her artistically driven career and take her songwriting to the next level. Have you ever heard a voice that was just so magically compelling? One of those addicting voices that just causes instant attachment between the listener and artist? Well if you haven’t, Caroline Gustavsson gives you this enchanting abundance with her new single ”If There’s No You”. Caroline sings about the winding road to finding that special person to love and share your life with, and the fear of not knowing if that will ever happen. Can we say relatable? You become emotionally tethered with the lyrics, offering new dimensions to your mood, while still being able to enjoy a caressing vibe! Despite the quite deep and heartfelt lyrics, ”If There’s No You” delivers a fresh sound with a feel-good, arena pop vibe to it, with the hope of encouraging anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation. This is a great way for an artist to develop and generate fans, due to appealing to everyday situations! Caroline’s voice is highly marketable, and her sound is just captivating. It’s the texture of her vocals that has this soft-like appeal while still powerfully delivering an energetic vocal belt! Sometimes we find ourselves wondering why an artist wrote their song and the inspiration that drove them there. As Caroline Gustavsson says: ”For me, it’s been a winding road when it comes to love. Sometimes I thought I found IT, but it turned out I didn’t. Other times I’ve thought that maybe I have to accept that it might not actually happen for me, even though I truly hope it will, of course, you just never know what life will bring to the table” “If There’s No You” is a texturized hit with a dynamically enthralling message! Listen to the song here and get to know more about Caroline Gustavsson in our interview below! Thank you for sharing your music with us Caroline Gustavsson! It’s super cool knowing you’re all the way from Sweden! How is the music scene over there? Have you noticed any major differences in music styles with different environments? Thank you!In my opinion, the music scene in Sweden has a lot of influences from the American music scene, even with artists singing in Swedish. In what ways has your skills in songwriting improved over the years of your career so far!? What makes the perfect hit song for you as far as the lyrical portion of it? Since I started writing songs for other artists as well, and got to explore different genres and styles from a writers perspective, my ability to write catchy hooks and melodies have improved a lot. A hit song with lyrics in focus for me, is a song where the lyrics reach through the surface and touch you at a deeper level. When you feel a connection through the song. “If There’s No You” was an amazing song! What emotion would you best describe as most impactful for you during the creation process of this record and why? Thank you! I think it was more than just an emotion, it was my whole life situation that boiled down to this song. So many feelings at the same time, I felt sad because my current relationship was coming to an end, and I was  questioning if everyone is meant to find true love, how you know that it’s the one for you, and if I will ever find it.Even though I found myself at quite a frustrating point of life, I also found comfort in the thought that at least I was following my heart, making decisions based on that and not on fear. Were there any challenges you’ve faced? How did you overcome these obstacles? Actually yes, I had a lot of performance anxiety in the beginning. It took me weeks to finish this song, I started on so many different ideas but none felt good enough. I told myself it had to be the best song I’d ever written, which of course put me under a lot more pressure.That way of thinking does not really spark your creativity and inspiration, so I decided to not be so hard on myself. That the song would come to me if I don’t push it. So I put down the guitar and went for a lot of walks, meditated, did some inner work :) And over the weeks I managed to move myself from a state of "needing the perfect result for people to like", into a state of "expressing my truth no matter how it would be received”. And suddenly, there it was, all done! Funny enough it did feel like one of the best songs I’d ever written. What’s next for you Caroline Gustavsson? Next up is continuing to write more material and perform live. I’m also thinking about recording acoustic versions of my released singles. I really enjoyed making a lyric video for this song, so I think I will go back to my other two singles and make videos for them as well!

SF$Profit is from the DMV (District, Maryland, Virginia) area who finds passion in rap and poetry which he started writing at age 14 and initially began writing music at the age of 6. Learning the cello in grade 3 was the first proper introduction SF$Profit had and was able to learn how to use recording software as a college student which enabled him to record, mix and master his own tracks. “I like to think my music is almost like spoken word, lyrical, subliminal and blunt at times” states SF$Profit who was greatly inspired by his brother, Flickash, who began his musical journey at the age of 17 and was a member of the group “Sane Fe” which is what the SF in his artist name resembles. “W.O.D. (Prelude To Leo Season)” is packed full with lyrics that are extremely well written to blend easily together and creates the ability to quickly drop the lines with ease. With a mixture of what I call “street sounds” like creepy laughing, beeping and grinding sounds give “W.O.D. (Prelude To Leo Season)” a personality that many other rap tracks are lacking – the beauty of using natural sounds to create a connection with your audience. The beats are easy to bob your head along to and with a closer listen to the lyrics that are carefully written, they also seem to be very easily relatable and I find that many rap fans enjoy being able to listen to tracks that they can draw personal meaning from like SF$Profit has done in this spot on track. “W.O.D. (Prelude To Leo Season)” was able to draw me in for multiple listens to fully take in the tone of vocals used in the track, as well as the large amount of organic sounds that were used to create this unique song. I thoroughly suggest you add “W.O.D. (Prelude To Leo Season)” to your playlist as you will find yourself wanting so much more. Listen to W.O.D. (Prelude To Leo Season) here and get to know more about SF$Profit in our interview below! Hey SFProfit! Wonderful to chat with you! Can you tell us a bit more about yourself? I was born and raised in the DMV (DC, Maryland. Virginia area), I’m Flick Ash lil bro, I went from doing as libs to making my own music. I also do spoken word. Tell us about your creative process when writing and making new beats When I’m on SoundCloud and I hear a beat that I like, I might replay it a couple of times before I start writing to it, there’s a couple of beats that I maybe  haven’t listened to in a while that I might decide to record to. When it comes to making beats I’m currently learning myself how to make my own, so each project is a learning experience for me. How did you first find that true passion for making music? The first time I found out I had a true passion for making music was when I first was consistent with my process and I started sharing that experience with like minded friends, almost like a workshop of generating ideas that gave me motivation to continue improving and getting better. This internal competition with myself built a passion and a new appreciation for music making. What is the meaning behind “W.O.D.”? W.O.D.-world on drugs, everyday around my neighborhood you see someone doped up on drugs, what’s happening on my block is happening everywhere else as well with drugs of different forms, if all we see is ppl high out of their minds that becomes how you perceive the world, a world on drugs. What can we expect to see from you in 2019? Leo Season my first EP coming out in July, and maybe some experimental stuff in December.

Born Alexander Ryan Hromyk, with quite a unique pronunciation, (Hur-Roe-Mik), San Francisco recording artist Sasha Hromyk was determined to succeed from a young age. Raised in a predominantly Russian-American community, Hromyk began singing early on in school productions and church choirs. He began uploading videos at the age of 14 on YouTube, garnering attention from record labels and television shows alike. His influences range from the classic ’90s which include acts like Boyz II Men, Aaliyah, and Brandy. He was also influenced by the genres of Gospel and European pop/soul, which helped him craft his sound. Many auditions with various television shows which included X-factor USA, and The Voice, shortly followed. Eventually becoming connected with the Nashville music scene - Hromyk released his debut EP "Brighter Paradigm". Blending elements of 90s R&B and West Coast Pop, the 4-track EP was released internationally in 2018. Sasha Hromyk released his single titled “Tell Me” and his vocal tone is what catches you at instance! The smooth-like serenading melody of the song makes you fall in love with not only the record but Sasha Hromyk as an artist! He sort of reminds me of those soothing vocalists from the golden era of pop music that had the ladies going crazy! You know the heartthrobs like Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Jesse Mccartney, and many more! There’s a gap for a singer like that in today’s music industry, and Sasha Hromyk fits right in! Serving as the missing piece to the puzzle, “Tell Me” blends together the styles of R&B and Pop while staying true to a canorous tune you won’t forget. He even gives rhythmic transitions to keep the song alive, instead of having this dead approach to the romantically driven lyrics. Sasha Hromyk is an artist who we for sure have our eyes on! We know he’s going to do great things in the music game! Listen to "Tell Me" here and get to know more about Sasha Hromyk below! We appreciate you for sharing your music with us Sasha Hromyk! Knowing you started pretty young, in what ways has your music improved over the years? I knew early on I wanted to pursue music professionally. However, I had no connections to the industry growing up. I just knew I wanted to be good enough. So I started singing fairly young and became meticulous about how I sounded. I had a good ear but vocally needed work along the way. I became aggressive about practicing, took lessons, and hit all the wrong notes before hitting the right ones. Eventually I started writing my own poems and poems led to songs. I gathered enough confidence to sing in front of people which led to a greater love of the craft. I uploaded videos to YouTube and started going to auditions. I was signed to a label, dropped by the label, signed to another and dropped by that one as well. This caused me to dig deeper. It all went back to wanting to be good enough. I worked even harder on my vocals and writing until things began to fall into place. I began to write about what I had gone through and worked on transferring the emotion into the performance. Tell us about your experience auditioning for X-Factor and The Voice! Any beneficial lessons you took from it? Definitely. I auditioned for X-Factor USA in 2011 during its first season.  It was a well-known show in the UK but fairly new in the US at the time.  Naturally I thought the chances of making it through were pretty good. The auditions were in Seattle on a weekday so I skipped school and headed down with my dad and best friend. 5000 other hopefuls arrived which actually was a smaller turn out than other cities around the country.  My audition song was "Love" by Keyshia Cole. I didn't make it. Not even past the first round. I was devastated.  The next day at school I had to announce the rejection to everyone. It hurt for awhile but I eventually picked myself back up and kept going. With The Voice it was different. I actually had two encounters with the show. The first being in 2015 when I was at a personal low point in life. I had just returned from California after another failed musical attempt and needed some direction. I had signed up for a program called YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and was on my way to Kansas City, MO for a few months. Shortly before I left I was contacted through YouTube asking if I could fly to Los Angeles for an audition. Everything inside of me was screaming to go to LA. It just wasn't the right time and I had to turn it down. I finished YWAM and flew home. I reached out asking them if I could audition now that I was back and they accepted. The audition was at a smaller recording studio just outside Seattle. I thought for sure I'd make it this time. I sang "Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart" by Ariana Grande…and…well…I got rejected again. Just about 90 seconds into the song. I laugh about it now but at the time the rejection stung worse than it did with X-Factor. Two lessons I learned were the following; one - grab their attention instantly, song choice matters. Two; it's ok to fail. No one is perfect and we all mess up. There will be other chances. Keep learning and growing, don't give up. Eventually better opportunities will arise. Knowing you’re influenced by many old school vocal greats, it’s quite noticeable in your timeless voice! If you could have collaborate with ONE of your influences, who would you choose and why!? Such a great and difficult question. If I had to choose one artist to collaborate with it would be Brandy. Her albums have been reference points for me vocally. Specifically "Never Say Never" and "Full Moon". I've been a fan of hers since I was a small child and believe her vocal ability to be unmatched. Her runs, riffs, melismas, and timbre or tone are incredible and can only be accomplished through years of training and hard work, along with natural talent. Truth be told though if I had the opportunity to collaborate with her I'd probably be in complete awe the entire time. Possibly unable to get sound out of my mouth. Your song “Tell Me” was lovely! What was the theme behind it? How did you find inspiration to write this!? Thank you very much. It's great to have the music appreciated and valued. "Tell Me" was a carefully crafted song that began to take life over a year ago. I was contacted by my friend, fellow artist, and co-writer Jordan Marcotte of SECONDCHANCE who said he had a hook in mind. I gave it a listen and felt an immediate connection. It was a song of questions, needing direction, and wanting to be reassured. The idea began to take on a hybrid form. In other words I wanted the song to be considered two ways. It could be asking a love interest or it could be dialoguing with God. For me it was both. We took references from some of the most classic 90s R&B ballads. I've always loved artists like TLC, Boyz II Men, Aaliyah, and Maxwell. Their sound provided sustenance for Tell Me. We brought along another friend and writer Lauren Scott who added fresh air to the lyrics and melody. The three of us spent months writing until we felt we had a great finished product. It was produced by Judah Earl who understood the vibe and intention of the song without us having to explain much. We drew from personal experience and shared emotion. It's a song I hope many of us can relate with or find ourselves in. What’s next for you Sasha Hromyk!? There is so much planned for this next phase of my life. In addition to promoting the single I will be spending time in Hollywood learning and cultivating my place in this crazy industry. I'm excited to be heading down there as it’s a place I've felt called to for a long time. I am also currently in talks to translate the song into Spanish which would see me heading out to Nashville for a minute. I would love to do  a Russian version as well in the near future. Other than that I'm continuing to write and create for future projects.

Sensitive Robot is a singles-driven songwriting, music, and video production duo hailing from Los Angeles. The production team, consisting of Johnson and Evan Marquardt, collaborate with artists, vocalists, and songwriters they admire to produce commercially viable tunes. “In Your Arms” is the latest single from Sensitive Robot, and features singer-songwriter, Alexx Calise. It's a romantic French-style ballad and the delivery was perfect. We loved this poignant arrangement alongside the emotionally-rich vocals. The vocalist has such a texturized voice that sends chills through your body. Everything was structured so properly and well-tooled, the listener was able to delicately follow along with the tune and the direction of the lyrics. The mythical appeal to the music is credited to the mysterious energy the vocalist gives off. With an exceptional production, Sensitive Robot does more than just over-achieve our expectations, they recreate it! The musicality presented in this song was unbelievably incredible and this a romantically driven record we’d love to hear over and over again! Listen to "In Your Arms" here and get to know more about Sensitive Robot below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Sensitive Robot! How has the journey been so far for you? The journey is always an interesting one. It's great and full of surprises! Creatively, music that gives us literal goosebumps is our ultimate goal. Sometimes that takes us to far-out places, and other times it's more mainstream. But we love to keep it varied - both stylistically and sonically. What were some obstacles you had to overcome in the making of this record? We’ve been working with Alexx Calise for a couple of years, and a few months back we were a bit stuck, lacking a focus and direction for the type of songs we wanted to write and record moving forward. Alexx came up with the idea to write “old school, romantic, melodic French-style” songs and we ran with that idea. Now, we’ve written and recorded a bunch of great tunes in this style that we’ll be releasing soon! In what ways does “In Your Arms” reflect the artistry of “Sensitive Robot”? Sensitive Robot does a lot of genre-jumping, but the one thing that’s fairly consistent with our music is a bit of harmonic sophistication with accessible melodies. This French-style stuff we’re writing is partially a throwback (with a twist) to jazz standards and classic Broadway tunes. What’s your personal favorite moment in “In Your Arms” and why? Maybe the bridge section where the music gets sparse with just the piano arpeggios and vocal harmonies. I think that’s a nice little musical moment. Thank you for sharing! What’s next for you? We’re currently writing and recording with a few new artists and we’re also working on two podcast musicals that we’re really excited about!

Berto Amor is a singer/songwriter who was born and raised in Southbrook, New Jersey. He’s an American artist whose roots are from Colombia. Berto Amor attempts to incorporate his Latin flavor and transition it into the English style of music. Writing many of his songs over tropical beats but giving the listeners and r&b feeling when he sings. Berto Amor isn’t just your typical one genre artist. He fuses together different genres of music in which include Acoustic, Latin, Hip-hop, and rap to his mix of genres. Summer wouldn’t be summer without the fun jams and timeless moments we share right? Berto Amor is proving this theory to be correct with his new single, “Twerking”. What I really enjoyed about the concept of this record was how it was tastefully executed. Of course, the title of the song would have you expecting the production and lyrics to go a certain direction, however, Berto Amor keeps the roots of the clubbing fun in tact while moving the direction of the song into a place you wouldn’t expect! This was super dope to the factoring of layers to the song. Adding multiple dimensions to this track made everything more attractive for me. The combination of multiple genres being fused together was just the icing on the cake of it all. Berto Amor is not what we expect, and what we receive is even better than our expectations! “Twerking” was a nice song that could resonate with the paradise-like vibes at your local summer party! Listen to "Twerking" here and get to know more about Berto Amor below! Thank you for sharing your music with us Berto Amor! How would you best describe your sound? My sound is like a Pop/Latin sound mix together. I like the Caribbean type of sound and having people feeling the need to get up and dance! But I like making all types of music from pop to acoustic, hip hop, rap, r&b..I love being diverse with my music. Did you have any musical influences growing up? If so who and why!? A couple artist I feel influenced my music, Micheal Jackson, Ed sheeran, Romeo Santos just to name a free, but an artist that I admire is Neyo. Not only his songs but his lyrics and the melody he writes in. I analyze all of that and I feel he should be up there as one of the greatest in r&b to keep it real! But each one of those artist that I mentioned play parts in influencing the music I make. Let’s talk about this song “Twerking”, it’s a really cool arrangement! What was the vision for the record? Thank You! ‘Twerkin’ was an amazing song to do! I wrote the song and then I made the beat with a producer named Misa! I knew I wanted to give it that club beat vibe and Misa decided to put it with that dancehall feel because he knew that’s more my sound. In the studio when we  were creating it it felt as if we had a hit on our hands. It honestly felt like magic in the studio! I wanted to have a song where it can be catchy and can get people up and dancing! I love it because it has that nice smooth dancehall for two people dancing to feel each other out and then it hits with that club part! It’s a fun song and I happy with the way it turned out! In what ways does the production of the song bring the vision to life!? I feel the production is the biggest part to it. The instrumental is perfect and the sound quality overall is really good! What this song was meant to do was get girls to twerk and people to dance and I feel like the production and sound made that happen! What’s next for you Berto Amor? I’m working right now with this dj named mstacks and we’re going to be opening up for a rapper named Boldy James! The shows should be going down by July and we’re performing in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C, and New York so it should be fun! I’m also going to be working with misa soon to make new music and possibly drop an EP. I’m still not sure if I want to drop an EP or just drop singles but we will see in the future! Excited though for all the opportunities thats been given to me thus far and I plan to just keep moving forward and also really push ‘Twerkin’ for everyone to hear!

Can you start by introducing yourself to our newer readers and fans? C Z A R I N A:  Thank you for having me.  I’m C Z A R I N A and I’m an emerging RetroFuturist Synthwave, Cyberpunk, Electronic musician, artist, composer, songwriter and producer from Brooklyn, NY. I am also a multimedia creative director, filmmaker, and the founder and designer of Ivy Kirzhner shoes. Tell us about your newest release “Til The Last Star”. What’s the meaning behind the lyrics? C Z A R I N A:  “Til The Last Star” is my very first spacewave and dreamwave ballad. It has a very epic, orchestral soundscape using atmospheric and cinematic synths that simulate the journey through outerspace.  The song is about choosing love, how to love without fear, and the depths one would be willing to go through for infinite, undying love, with the death of the last star in the universe as the only possible end point.  (However, as science and research in astrophysics show, a new star is born from shockwaves triggered by other stars that have died, so there could never be a last star). Why did you decide to take a more vulnerable and raw approach with this song? What inspired it? C Z A R I N A:  I wanted to create a delicate song that is fluid and simple, yet thoroughly and poignantly articulates my true sentiments about my personal journey towards finding the meaning of true love and what it feels like. I’ve always been one of those individuals driven by ambition and goals. And too often we forget that the the true end point of our journey, whatever road we take, should be fearless love. At the end, that’s all that truly matters. I wanted to create something real and genuine, with all emotions as bare, exposed and unhindered as possible.  However, I am very lucky to finally have someone in my life to inspire such emotions and achieve the results I wanted to hear in a love song. What’s your writing process like? C Z A R I N A:  My writing process varies from time to time. The writing process for “Til The Last Star” was quite unique to me. Everything flowed instantly and smoothly. The words flowed naturally into melodies and then I just heard in my head how the rest of the composition should follow and wrap around the lyrics and melodies.  I focus on achieving the proper crescendos and the quality of performance and vocal expression. In your last interview you mentioned some exciting collaborations that were yet to be announced, can we expect to see that in the near future? C Z A R I N A: I am currently working on the music for a new Sci-Fi graphic novel with an electronic rock soundtrack I am co-writing with my husband, DeadlyKawaii called STARCROSS. For the music, we collaborated with Rome-based producer Chris Keya. There are also a couple of international synthwave and pop talents also involved whom we will announce very soon along with the project.

Listen to Brooke Alexx's new single "Me" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Brooke. Can you start off by telling our readers a bit about yourself and why you chose a career in music? I grew up just outside of NYC and spent a lot of my childhood doing musical theater because I thought it was the only outlet for singing. In 8th grade, however, I discovered Taylor Swift and realized I could write my own songs and sing contemporary music. That’s when I began guitar lessons and songwriting! What is the meaning behind your latest single ‘Me’? "Me" is about loving and focusing on yourself and your goals, and putting those desires first. This mindset has always been a top priority for me, so I was excited to release a song that encompasses this mentality in a fun, yet confident way. You mentioned you are a Nashville transplant. Growing up in a city largely identified by country music, what made you get into pop music? I’ve always been drawn to pop music and top 40 radio hits, as my voice suits those kinds of melodies best! When I moved to Nashville, I did try my hand at writing country music, but my inner compass pushed me deeper into the pop world and I haven’t looked back. How is “Me” different than anything you’ve released in the past? I think “Me” really embraced that triumphant Charli XCX energy I’d been leaning toward. The chorus is reminiscent of the reggae genre, which is unique in comparison to my past singles while still fitting nicely within my catalogue! What is on your agenda for 2019 that you are most looking forward to? My debut EP is set to release this fall and it has two additional songs I’m super excited to put out. I eager to finally have a full body of work that represents who I am as an artist and paves the way for what’s to come! Connect with Brooke Alexx on social media www.instagram.com/BrookeAlexx
