Simon George is an artist you won’t forget, with a sound that would completely seize the moment. He released an enticing album titled “I Am The Wanderer: Tales From The Old West”, and each track of this album warrants it's placement in the order. He takes his listener on an unforgettable journey filled with beautiful guitar strings, riveting vocals, and a classic folklore aesthetic floating behind the album. The opening two songs “The Mountain Calling” and “My Way” initiates this journey for the listener. The beautifully stringed acoustics creates a foundation for both these songs to travel alongside with. Although both created imagery in the listener's head, one song differentiates from the other record. “The Mountain Calling” vocal delivery is more upbeat, filled with grit while the vocals in “My Way” felt more passionately executed! The next record on this album “The Pure” had this grunge-like rock n roll rasp to the vocals, and the energy filled inside the track was exhilarating. You feel like you’re intertwining with the production and vocals of the record. I loved the feeling “The Pure” gave me. It was so relevant to the name of the song, ironically. You felt this “I love life” sensation flowing in and out your body, which was so absorbing. The next song that transitions in is “Where The Problem Lies”, I loved the tune, and melody of the hook. It was that addicting & repetitive melodic hook that becomes glues to your brain, and memory. For me, “Where The Problem Lies” Created a thought-provoked lyrical approach, which had me studying the possible meaning of the record and album. This was a great offering to the entire project. The next record, “I Am The Wanderer” was a pleasant surprise. After listening to the melodically ballad-driven tracks prior, the entire energy transforms into something more groovy! The rhythm of “I Am The Wanderer” felt so transporting I literally closed my eyes and mentally placed myself in a different time period. The classic funk, pop, and soul were all demonstrated in “I Am The Wanderer”. This brought an entirely new dimension to the album. After giving the listener a celebration, Simon George slows things down with a romantically driven , and smooth-sailing ballad, “We Used To Love Each Other”. With lyrics others can relate too, Simon George executed this soft textured record effortlessly. The melodies seep into your brain, the satisfying chords from the guitar mesmerizes you, and Simon George’s passionate vocal delivery serenades you. Simon George also delivered the single “Save Your Tears For Sunday”. The melodies in this record were slightly different from the melodies in “We Used To Love Each Other”, with noticeable differences. The long-lasting introduction gave us the idea that this could also be another romantically driven record, and we were right. The poetic songwriting had a strong message underlying the soul and passion in Simon’s voice. This track showed a sense of vulnerability in the artistry of Simon George, giving us something more expansive. The next track, “Bigger Than Dallas”, was one of my personal favorites. It had a melody that just attracted me. I began to instantly hum along-side, eventually singing along with the hook. This was a brilliant way to show Simon George can appeal to an audience, and connect with their emotions. The soft-like energy of “Bigger Than Dallas” was fitting to the melodic fluid artist Simon George is. Simon George closes the album with the record, “Good Lord Willin”, and we were able to capture the moment a little bit more. This song was the perfect closer. It felt like “Thank you for coming, but the journey ends, so we hope to see you on our next album”. Ending off with a story-telling element, Simon George closes the album off with a song that felt more personalized to him with accepting grief in his vocals. Or maybe, just maybe he’s highly skilled in conveying emotion? To give us that feeling? Whatever the trick is, it works damn good! And Simon George creates an evergreen album. Brought to you from the depths of the songwriting capital of the world, with its roots spread all across The US, Simon George’s I Am The Wanderer: Tales From The Old West introduces you to a brand of Southern-Folk-Psych-Rock that could emerge only from the minds of those artists, existing in the shadows of the pop-country culture, that define the true Nashville music scene. Listen to I Am The Wanderer here and get to know more about Simon George below! Hey Simon George! Mind telling us a little bit about your upbringing and what inspired you to do music? I was born in Arlington,TX but grew up in Franklin, TN, just south of Nashville. My dad turned me onto a lot of classic rock when I was real young, and given that both sides of my family are from Kentucky, that meant a lot of southern rock, country, and songwriting as well. Growing up in Nashville it was pretty hard not to be turned onto playing music, especially growing up with songwriters kids. I started getting into writing when I was in middle school and the rest is really history. Are you from Nashville? If so, how did the environment impact your style of music? Nashville is a very unique place to grow up playing music. While it's incredibly dense with awesome musicianship, its really a songwriting town. And in that, one of my biggest focuses has been songwriting (and playing the guitar of course). Thank you for sharing your album with us! How challenging was it to create this? What were some of your favorite and least favorite moments in the creation of this album? There were definitely some challenging aspects of creating this album, but it actually came together pretty seamlessly. My bassist/producer Robert Hudson really brought the thing to life. My favorite overall coloring in the album probably occurred between the first two tracks (The Mountains Calling and My Way Home), and Bigger Than Dallas came together really nicely as well. Which song off your album is a personal favorite for you? I really love My Way Home and The Pure. What is next for you Simon George? Trying to get this album out there as much as possible and hopefully tour to some degree or another very soon! On top of many more albums to come.

Residing in Los Angeles is the powerhouse duo titled Minus 2. Comprised of 2 ex-professional football players, Collin Charles and J. Black, the two have an unbreakable musical chemistry. Previously teammates at Iowa State University, Charles and Black developed a close friendship through their bond of football and music. Collin Charles has always had music play a large roll in his life from a young age, he’s a multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, engineer and vocalist. Houston native, J. Black only began really incorporating music into his life in 2017, but his flawless sound and undeniable talent would make you think otherwise. Minus 2’s sound can be described as retro-future that fuses soulful lyrics, catchy melodies and alternative dance instrumentals. Minus 2’s single “Orange Blossom” is proof of their incredible and expansive musical knowledge. Hip-hop instrumentals layered with smooth piano and a retro vibe give “Orange Blossom” an alluring vibe. Deep and hard-hitting vocals from both Collin Charles and J. Black make the duo an absolute musical powerhouse. The duo Minus 2 strives to spread a message of love and to bring all sorts of people together hailing from different backgrounds and categories. “Orange Blossom” is a smooth and that delivers eclectic songwriting abilities and chemistry that blasts through the speakers. “F**k who I was, it’s about who I’m becoming” is my favorite line because it’s delivered so nonchalantly while maintaining the confident and ambient aesthetic of this track. Collin Charles and J. Black will paint a soundscape in your mind and take you on a journey through their captivating lyricism and flow. Stay on the lookout for Minus 2. Listen to "Orange Blossom" here and get to know more about Minus 2 below! Hi guys! How did you create the name Minus 2? The name was created as a reference to our group of friends from college. There are four of us and without them we are minus 2. Our friendship began during some formative years and was solidified through our experience together as college athletes. We maintain a strong bond to this day. What is your track “Orange Blossom” about? What inspired it? Orange blossom is a song about a journey toward self actualization aided by psychedelic plant medicine. It was written in Orlando, Florida and the name was inspired by a major street called Orange Blossom Trail that we frequented in our time there. How does your writing process work together? Our process is always evolving and depends on the song. It can start with a Collin Charles instrumental or with a J. Black lyric or melody idea, but can also start with a J. Black production suggestion or Collin Charles lyric idea so there’s a lot of flexibility. We’ve also been open to collaboration with others which helps us integrate new ideas and possibilities. How did you create you retro-future sound? Who are your artistic influences? Our sound isn’t necessarily something we aim for specifically, it’s the sound that comes to us naturally. The retro-future description came after we released a handful of songs and we felt like it fit. Our songs usually have an old school feel to them with modern elements and like most artists we seem to be a product of our influences which span from hip-hop/r&b to jazz, soul and dance music. As far as Artist Influences, we would have to say names: we would say Disclosure , Majid Jordan, Zhu, Andre 3000, Sade, Daft Punk, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra, Toro Y Moi, Pharrell & The Neptune’s, Tyler The Creator, Gunna, Swisha-House, Big Moe, Nate Dogg, Dj Boring, Peggy Gou, Ross from friends, James Blake, Tierra Whack, Drake What are some challenges you've faced in the music industry so far? How have you overcome those challenges? The challenge we’ve faced that I think everyone faces is finding the best ways to get our music heard. We’ve overcome that by staying consistent, trying to get the most out of social media and continuing to generate content to build momentum for our brand. Despite the difficulty, we’re grateful to be living in today’s world with marketing and distribution being something we can do independently.

Studio writers/engineers Darrick Atwater (Agent Method), John Schmarkey and Ty Barksdale (of All The Locals) met in an Atlanta studio in 2016 and created the song ‘Fighting For’ out of an unfinished idea that the crew passed over until the end of 2018 that was made on a whim. It has been said that “The song is an ode to folks who need to stay grounded and unique during trivial or exciting chapters in life, not losing sight of your roots” and the unique blend of sounds includes instruments such as bongos, keyboards, wooden/metal shelves and fidget spinners. All The locals has been described as very organic when it comes to production and not lacking in knowledge of how to draw in a younger audience. ‘Fighting For’ was produced in the studio space of Sonica in Atlanta along with Agent Method’s Home studio, who collaborated with All The Locals on this track. The band is currently traveling the world in support of their new EP ‘Another Way To Breathe’ that is available everywhere. I love the mixture of slow and fast paced sections that are found in “Fighting For” that blend electric and pop sounds into a driving track that is sure to send AllThe Locals to the top. The ‘chorus’ sections were the beat drops in “Fighting For” are intoxicating and get your body moving immediately from the start of each break down. I also love the creative use of sounds to help tell the story behind the meaningful lyrics that are extremely well written to go along with the style of this song. The vocals are soft and have a slight rasp to them that lures the listener in to want to put the song on repeat and needing more. The amount of detail that you can physically is put into creating “Fighting For” between all the slower sections to the build-up and drop of faster beats mixed with the alluring delivery of a story that you can hear might have personal meaning to the vocalist through the emotions embedded in the song. Overall, “Fighting For” is a fantastic song that showcases the talent that each member of this collaboration is able to bring to the table – and I cannot wait for more! Listen to "Fighting For" here and get to know more about All The Locals below! Hey All The Locals and Agent Method !Phenomenal Track! Tell us a bit more about yourselves. Darrick Atwater (Agent Method), John Schmarkey and Ty Barksdale (of All The Locals) originally met as studio writers/engineers in an Atlanta studio back in 2016. After months of creating content for the company, Darrick and ATL became good friends in an out of the industry. The song ‘Fighting For’ spawned out of an unfinished idea that the crew made on a whim in the studio, and didn’t even bother with until the end of 2018. The song is an ode to folks who need to stay grounded and unique during trivial or exciting chapters in life, not losing sight of your roots. Perhaps the best part of the track is the production. The song brings an electronic pop feel, however most of the song stems from organic sounds produced within the studio space of Sonica in ATL (owned/operated by John Briglevich, ATL’s mentor and friend), as well as Agent Method’s home studio. Sounds created by wooden/metal shelves, bongos, fidget spinners, keyboards, and vocal abstractions were used in the creation of the song. Soulternative band, All The Locals have always been very organic with song production, without lacking in knowledge of modern elements that the youth adores. Collaborating with Agent Method on this track created an amalgamation of electro soul, that can hopefully transcend all listeners. Currently Darrick Atwater is a prominent producer in ATL, working with many up in coming artists. AllThe Locals continues to travel the map in support of their new EP ‘Another Way To Breathe,’ available worldwide. How did you first find the eclectic sounds found in ‘Fighting For’? Darrick (Agent Method): ‘For the more non-conventinal sounds, It really came down to a matter of "random sound design". I would walk around Sonica, and knock on, or shake whatever objects that looked like they might sound interesting, from filing cabinets, to wooden walls, to long pieces of metal banding used to strap down shipping crates. Then, process them heavily via samplers and effects alike, to create the sound-scape that became the original basis for the song. There was always a plethora of odd things around the studio to glean some new sonic insight from. Its extremely satisfying and great creative engineering practice to build ones own sounds. That becomes yoursound. No one else in the worldhas those samples. it really helps give a song its own "soul" and unique sonic landscape.’ Is there a deeper meaning behind the song ‘Fighting For’? Stay unique and original to yourself no matter the circumstances and chapters in life. What inspires the creation of lyrics and melodies for new songs? Johnny (All The Locals) is known for coming up with lyrics and melodies off the top of his head, atleast to get the idea molded and a seed of influence to write with. But generally the group formulates the major motives of the songs together then we will go back and be specific to each layered part. What can we expect to see from All The Locals in 2019? More touring and new music! New EP ‘Another Way to Breathe’ available now worldwide! Connect with All The Locals on social media www.instagram.com/allthelocals www.facebook.com/allthelocalsmusic

We present to you BuzzMusic listeners Elena Ramona—the next pop superstar (we mean it). Elena Ramona definitely entrances her listeners and is able to make them feel as if they’re living a completely different life when listening to her songs. As a singer/songwriter, Elena brings a lot of unique ideas to her music, as her determination throughout her musical career so far, combined with her already potent success, is a mixture for curating magic. Already featured on magazines in the UK, Elena now brings her obvious talent and inspiration to the Greek Islands. We’ve already added Elena’s “Soul Sing” to our playlists—it’s the perfect summer bop! Released today, the beat in “Soul Sing" really resonates with you, and adding this song to the perfect weather in Los Angeles today, we’re set for a feel-good kind of day. Besides the catchy tune and soft (yet powering) vocals on Elena’s part, you can tell there was a lot of soul and passion packed into this single. Most only hear and focus on the rhythm of catchy and upbeat pop songs, but with this single, Elena glides her voice along magnificently with the lyricism. The production on this track was far beyond our expectations—this track sounds like the real deal, and we already know we’re about to hear this on replay on the hottest pop radio stations. To get more specific, Elena Ramona’s “Soul Sing” really stood out to us because it reminds us of that long road trip, windows down, soaking in the sun and having a good day kind of vibe. Not many songs can make you feel like you’re physically in a completely different atmosphere and experience, but Elena does it with absolute grace. With a track record as long as Elena’s, we knew she would deliver with her latest single. Her expertise and overall experience in the music industry has taught her a lot with music, and it really does show in her musical execution. We absolutely love a fun and bubbly single, especially combined with the positive and fun-loving personality of Elena. Join us in the fun with Elena’s newest single “Soul Sing” and get to know her in our interview below! Hi Elena, It's great to chat with you! Welcome to BuzzMusic. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? Hi everyone, lovely to meet you all, I am a pop singer songwriter based in Surrey UK,  I was raised on the Greek Island of Skiathos and came to the UK to pursue my career in music in 2008. I have had a blast so far and cannot wait to see what the future holds for me. Tell us what it was like to study at the Academy of Contemporary Music! How did this contribute to shaping your career and overall sound as an artist? Studying at the ACM was a brilliant experience, they gave me the tools and the know-how to become the artist I am today, the tutors are amazing and really know their craft, they will support you throughout your time there and continue to after you graduate. I would strongly recommend the ACM to anyone who is thinking about a serious career in music. Congratulations on the release of Soul Sing. Such a powerful song! Tell us about the creation process of the single I started this particular song with the lyrics, they just flew out and stuck with me, the melody and harmony came shortly after. I wrote this song with my hometown in mind and the happy feeling home gives me, I miss the Greek weather and on the day I wrote the song, it was snowing outside and very cold. I wanted my listeners to feel as if they are at a party on the beach, having an amazing time because that is exactly what I have wanted to do all winter. This song is also open to interpretation. What lyric line from Soul Sing do you connect to the most, why? "Deeper than the ocean's sky your love is crystal clear". I love this line because "ocean's sky" is an oxymoron of sorts, this play on words creates a vivid picture for the listener. What's next for you through 2019? I am planning more releases and gigs this year, my main aim is to break into national radio in the UK and abroad, I am collaborating with various artists and have a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.

Rising from the hot grounds of San Diego, California, Ace Blizzy brings a mesh of lifted melodies, scorching bars, and profound substance to a new wave. Currently residing in Brooklyn, New York, Ace has been able to create well-blended music with an unforgettable vibe digestible for all audiences globally. Ace Blizzy premieres the single “Easy” featuring the artist Jay Isaiah, and it was everything and more. This vibe record has a smooth-sailing texture surrounding the RnB and trap beat. The dynamics of the vocals were mellow and laid-back. This created a more chilled mood instead of something more energetic and upbeat. The tempo moved in a connected-legato manner to match the fluent air-flow of the vocalist. The hook was addicting and the lyrics were catchy. “Easy” popped and had a sense of personality, regardless of the aura of the song feeling more relaxed. I was a big fan of the melody of the record. I started to sing along with the hook and enjoy the lyrics on a more personal level. Ace Blizzy is the perfect artist to stride alongside the new aged RnB movement, while still remaining in his own authentic lane. We’re anticipating what Ace Blizzy will release next! Listen to "Easy" here and get to know more about Ace Blizzy below! What’s up Ace! Knowing you’re from San Diego but also resides in New York, which environment do you believe impacted your style of music more and why? Well, I feel like although I am still tapped in to the "Daygo” scene, I have to say New York. I live out there and Iʼm surrounded by a lot of really DOPE artists. Being around guys like Luphoriccc, A1, Scotty and Matt, theyʼve all shown me different pieces of what New York has to offer somebody like me. And I embrace it. But I do think growing up and hearing a lot of the west coast sounds did plant a certain flavor inside of me that gives more of a hybrid feel than anything else. There isnʼt one specific regional sound that you can take from me. My sound caters to so many different branches of music but as of now, I definitely have shout out to NY for influencing the kid. Do you have any specific music influences? If so who and in what ways have they inspired you? I could honestly go on forever with this one. I've taken pieces from a lot of different artists and just kinda let pieces of their concepts fall into my sound, each piece equally embodying a specific part. But Iʼd have to say Supa Bwe, Travis Scott, Kendrick, Cudi, Kanye, and of course Wayne. But also artists such John legend, Cosmo Pyke, Michael Jackson, and Leon Bridges. And plenty more. The thing about all these artists is they all carry such a distinct sound. They know their voices very well and thatʼs one thing that I have tried to work on for YEARS. Having a dynamic vocal range with lyrical prowess of a Kendrick or a wayne or aKanye is definitely lethal. But thats what I aim to be, diverse, but lethal. Tell us about your record “Easy”, what was the major theme surrounding this song? So 'Easy' kinda surprised me as well. I think walking into the studio, and hearing the beat and the chorus that Jay absolutely blessed for the first time was a bit of “ah-ha” moment, in a sense that I knew it was gonna be a record with out a doubt. I also knew whether or not it would hit major sales or sink, that I was gonna be proud and satisfied with such a joint. As far as the theme, Easy is definitely about remembering self worth and appreciation for the storm. Whether itʼs women, haters, or whatever it may be, celebrate to your current and upcoming success. Because if youʼre out here really grinding, that success is inevitable. If you put the light in the dark, illumination will occur. Always! What motivated you to write “Easy”? I was in a bit of tight space in my head before going into the track. Trying to save a relationship, making sure I had a job to pay rent, facades and envious people with ulterior motives. I felt the negative energy in so many areas of my life but I only accept challenges head on. Iʼve always been reckless that way. But it all just boils down to taking that dark energy, and battling it with positivity and belief. Belief in yourself and the team you have. What’s next for you Ace Blizzy? MORE MUSIC TO DROP! I will be dropping the 'Easy' music video very soon as well!  Iʼve been itching to cook and release more but my team knows Iʼve always been that way. So definitely more music, more features, collaborations all the beautiful stuff. The grind does not stop at all but I do also to take my moments of appreciation for all the components in the background that make things like this possible. But you can catch me this summer throwing/hosting shows, performing, promoting everywhere, so I suggest everybody stays tuned cause this journey just started. Also make sure to follow me on Instagram @_officialblizzy_ for upcoming news and information on new releases and videos! Connect with Ace Blizzy on social media www.instagram.com/_officialblizzy_

Blue Tiger is a hip/hop and rap duo from New Hampshire. They recently released a 13 track album called the “Pawprints”. Since 2015 they’ve been recording in their bedrooms, just to get their feet wet and start their career out. In the fall of 2018, they decided to move out to California to attempt to turn their dreams from their little hometown into a reality of a melting pot in California. Blue Tiger released their record titled “Rap Star” and the booming beat begins that builds the anticipation for the record. As the beat continues to build progression, it heightens the anticipation in the listener's body. Right when the vocals transition in, you instantly grasp an understanding of what the theme of “Rap Star” is about. It gives off messages of hard-work, persistence and dedication. “Everybody wanna be a rap star, everybody wanna drive fast cars. Nobody wanna put the work in”, the hook says, this encouraging hook is straight-forward, and a bold approach to motivational lyricism. Blue Tiger are a straight-shooter character. Their tenacious and valiant demeanour in their artistry is what makes them ferocious, just like a tiger. Blue Tiger knows they have the capability to become a voice of reason in today’s rap culture, while also demonstrating a wavy appeal to their music. They add charisma and personality to their bars. “Rap Star” was a great hit from a rising and dynamic duo who is destined for greatness. Check out "Rap Star" here and scroll down for an exclusive interview with Blue Tiger! Welcome to BuzzMusic Blue Tiger! As a duo, how do you guys balance out your differences in musicality, and fuses it together? We as a duo have very similar musical influences which makes the creative process come together naturally. We both believe in the common goal of longevity with our music. We want to be know as greats and not to be known for following trends. These two dynamics balance out our differences to try and complement each other not compete with each other. Tell us about “Rap Star”, what was the main message you were hoping to give? In the song “Rap Star” our message is everyone what’s to be a superstar in the “Rap Game” but no one wants to put the work in to hone their skills to be great. They just hope it magically happens. What inspired you to write “Rap Star” ? could you relate to this record!? We became inspired to write this song after creating the beat, because we had been working extremely hard on our album and we felt a song like this was necessary. We see people complain all the time on social media that no one listens to their music or how they don’t get the recognition they deserve. When in reality they don’t actually take they time or use their potential to the fullest to make the best songs they can. What were some obstacles you have faced in your career so far & in what ways have you overcame them? Moving from our home state of New Hampshire to California was a huge obstacle we had to over come. It was a big leap for us but very happy we did it. Another journey that was difficult for us, was making our debut album “Pawprints” as perfect as possible on a small budget. We had to go through multiple audio engineers, producers and studios to find the right one. It was a long and tedious process but somehow we pulled it off. What could we expect from you two next? The next steps for Blue Tiger are to steadily work on our next album, work on growing our fan base and rocking some stages! We will be preforming at some local venues in San Diego very soon and then from there we want to expand into LA and more within a few months!

Reminisce is a rapper, singer, and songwriter from the lower east side of New York City. He began rapping at the early age of 14, but wouldn’t gain the confidence to share with anyone until he reached 18. He then decided that he would transform this passion, and hobby into a career path. He’s currently working on his first anticipated release, “Better Asthetics”. Reminisce came through with delivery in “No Fallacy”. “No Fallacy” had a chilled background beat. This beat creates the foundation support for the lyrical mastery Reminisce came with. Who knew at only 26 years old, Reminisce would be lyrically more skilled than many of the other rappers that are out right now? He shows us his usage of storytelling and songwriting by giving an underlying meaning behind the lyricism in “No Fallacy”. This record was not only lyrically motivated, but it was a pleasant vibe you can’t resist. The calming production created a hazy effect onto the listener’s mood, abducting us into the music a bit more. “No Fallacy” is an addicting record you can’t help but love. Tune out with the outside world, and tune in with this unforgettable vibe! Listen to "No Fallacy" here and get to know more about Reminisce below! Introducing Reminisce! How has the journey been so far? Any major obstacles you had to overcome? The journey has been great, I've been going through a transformative phase in my life. I left my job of 5 years that i hate and decided to only put effort into things that serve me and make me happy, if it doesn't have purpose or benefits me then it doesn't belong. I've had to overcome insecurities about stability and finance, its scary to leave your safety net, your comfort zone. Doing something you know is a lot easier then diving into new experiences but its stunts your growth, you can't grow in places of comfort. It was difficult changing my perception and values from "this is my lifeline and i need to be a responsible adult" to "this is a temporary fix not a permanent solution and your unhappy doing it". This is paycheck to paycheck, you still have to struggle to grow within that job you hate, still have to learn and go through tedious experiences to grow within what ever you do and you can still fail at it miserably. why not put the effort into something you love? something your good at? Changing my mindset to do music was the obstacle, I'm so happy i did though because i have been more happier now unemployed doing work i love then i have the entire 5 years i was at that place. What are some struggles you may face during the songwriting portion of a song? My creative process is a bit irregular. I only write when i feel something, if an instrumental doesn't capture me i won't write. Because of this i have no set time or process of writing, i don't need particular lighting, or special headphones, a comfortable chair, a special space or to even be alone. My writing, like most artist is usually a depiction of what I'm feeling or going through at the time but that won't come out of me unless something im hearing strikes me. Its like a super power i can't control. The closest thing i have to a process is searching for beats online randomly throughout the day for that feeling. Somedays i get lucky, other days i don't. For you, what makes the perfect record? The perfect record is sonically pleasing. Something that just makes you feel good. The melody, the way the words roll off, how they land in sync with the instrumental, contrast between rough, smooth, loud and quite, energy and calmness. If it doesnt strike someone by how it sounds first then they will never listen to what's being said. The perfect record sounds good but also has a message, its touching, its relatable, its real but...  the sound comes first, its like the broth of a soup then you start adding ingredients like concepts, punchlines, double entendres or what ever else is your specialty. Could you tell us about “No Fallacy” and its theme? No fallacy is actually the outro to my upcoming project "Better Aesthetics". Despite its short length and it not being a conventional song with a chorus, i felt the message in it was very important. Almost everybody i show the song to loves it. It just felt right to share it first, its not a single, I'm not going to make a video for it, i don't plan on putting heavy promotion into it like i do for some of the other songs i plan on releasing, but i wanted it out there. Its a perfect representation of who i am as an artist and where I'm at right now in my life. The theme is to do what you love, what serves you, what makes you happy and fight for it. Fallacy means unsound argument, i called the song no fallacy because how i feel about this isn't up for arguing, it just is what it is, its the truth, its my truth. I don't have an error in my argument, my argument is sound, do what you love and makes you happy and go hard for it, why would you want to live your life any other way. What’s next for you? Wrapping up "Better Aesthetics" then releasing it. I want to continue to focus on the creative process then put all my energy into getting it out there. Right now I'm just focused on laying down the perfect brick and cement, not the house. If i keep treating the things i have passion for with the attention and focus it deserves, the rest will follow. Thinking too big or about the end result can be devastating to your progress. You get overwhelmed, you lose clarity and it becomes harder to identify the next move, the next choice. Don't think about the release just think about the song, perfect the song. Don't think about the reception once released just think about executing the release, which platforms and streaming services are you dropping on, how abundant and accessible will it be. Don't think about failing and/or wasting money on marketing or promotion. Focus on the fact that you need to in order to gain exposure then Invest into it and figure out creative ways to do so, networking, personal connections, social media, blogs and music websites like buzz music. So that's what's next for me, to finish stacking these creative bricks perfectly then move on to the next phase of the process.

Electro-pop, R&B artist Seeva is from London, England, was writing music by the age of 13 and at 15 was already playing live with support from established British producers that work with artists like Dua Lipa, and Mabel. With the release of his debut single that was in collaboration with Brighten songstress La Luna in February 2019, Seeva had found that with his solid base in writing and producing that he was coming into his career as an artist in his own right. Seeva’s single received support from BBC Radio 6 and was on the playlist “New Music Friday UK” on Spotify along with performing at various festivals and has been able to showcase his talents at h Club London. “DripDrip” is the perfect blend of electric and pop that I didn’t know I needed in my life, and Seeva absolutely nails the combination. With metaphoric lyrics like “Drip Drip like sand in an hour glass” and meaningful like “You hold me up” combined with a voice that is completely awe inspiring this track is one of my favorites! Seeva’s vocals have a talent that I find is so rare to find in male artists, with the ability to clearly strike the higher notes effortlessly yet showcase the same amount of power when focusing on the lower register. His voice is refined, smooth and one that I find I cannot get enough of listening to. The beats that found in “DripDrip” are vivacious and in my opinion have remnants of pop artists like Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran with vocals that remind me of a mixture of Adam Levine, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran. “DripDrip” is a song I can hear bumpin’ in dance clubs and one that could be listened to on repeat in the car with the sun roof open on a beautiful sunny day driving down to the beach. Check out "DripDrip" here and read more below in our exclusive interview with Seeva. Hey Seeva! Can you tell us a bit more about yourself and how you were first introduced to music? Hey guys! I'm a 21 year old singer, songwriter and producer from London, England. I always loved music and first got introduced to it by doing musical theatre as a kid. When I got into my teens I found more of a love for pop music and started writing at the age of 13. I found my way into the industry via my amazing mentors and now have an incredible team of people around me! What is the creative process like for you when making new music? I like to mix things up with my writing process. Sometimes I'll sit at my keyboard and write to that, but most of the time I'll write some beats and music and write a song with what I'm feeling from the vibe of the music. I love writing with others as well. Tell us about “DripDrip”, what inspired you to write the track and is there a deeper meaning behind it? I wrote DripDrip at a difficult time in a relationship. Love can be addictive and can be amazing and terrible at the same time. I wanted this song to show the difficult side whilst also being upbeat. From an artist’s perspective, what is your favorite part of “DripDrip”? For me, it's all about the voice and the melody and so my favorite part is in the second verse where the music cuts out and it's just my voice. Hope you all like that part too! Can we expect any performances or new releases in 2019 from you? I have two more single planned for 2019, but there's still more to come from 'DripDrip' so keep your eyes peeled!

Equipped with a unique set of vocals and a mind full of creativity, Miranda López launches into the music scene from London. She’s a 22 year old singer/songwriter/musician who is skilled at playing guitar and piano and has been singing for 12 years! Miranda’s known for her alternative pop style but she credits her songwriting abilities to more classical influences. Her debut single “Lose Myself” is available on all major streaming platforms. Back again and better than ever, Miranda López is set to release “Pray” May 27th! I was lucky enough to get an exclusive listen and WOW. Soft piano fused with heavy and much anticipated bass give this track a perfect aesthetic. Miranda’s melancholy and echoing vocals are hypnotizing and alluring. Her tone, range, and powerful register remind me of the late and great Amy Winehouse mixed with a more modern and fresh vibe. Layered with somber emotions “Pray” is a pleading anthem for the broken hearted. “I pray you never forget me… I think I’m losing my mind” this lyric further highlights the hurt and vulnerability behind the vocals. The upbeat drops of the song include heavy bass and mind blowing synths to keep you head bobbing throughout. Emotionally-rich and hard hitting,“Pray” is a huge leap in the right direction for this up and coming alternative pop diva, Miranda López. I highly recommend keeping up with this brilliant artist to see where her creative flare takes her next! Check out “Pray” when it’s released on May 27th!

Mic is a Filipino-American producer and songwriter who was born in the Philippines. He and his mother came to America at the early age of 6 years old to reunite with his father in Phoenix, Arizona. It was when his family moved to Denver Colorado, his interest in music exploded. Influences from rock and rap, Mic learned to play the electric guitar, drums and later the piano at the age of 12. In high school, Mic would write raps and produce beats for his friends under the name of moniker, Maniac. In 2011, working as an Industrial Electrician in New Jersey, he created "THE OPEN MIC EP " under his new artist name Mic. Mic released his latest single titled “All Again” and I was in LOVE with this. “All Again” was so refreshing to hear. Everything felt fresh and new. The sound was something I wasn’t expecting to hear. In an over-crowded hip-hop industry, Mic smoothed himself right in. “All Again” fits in with the contemporary, and trendy sounds you hear on the radio with its own unique vibe that you will find yourself abducted by. The vibe of the song is what captures the listener the most in my opinion. It felt slightly cultural while having this smooth-sailing production. With the element of R&B Trap, it fused together components of smooth-jazz. This different, and atypical sound helped “All Again” not feel as categorized as other records. It fits into its own lane, separated from the records you're used to hearing. “All Again” was such a dope song, I listened to it over and over again. I couldn’t help but love this track. Everything about it was so hypnotizing. Mic now writes, produces, mixes and masters all his own music and for other various artists. He prides himself in being heavily involved in all aspects of the music industry and plans to head his own record label in the near future. From the detailed vocal resonance in “All Again” to his fire delivery, Mic showed us he’s a true force to be reckoned with. Listen to "All Again" here and get to know more about MIC below! Introducing this rising star who goes by the artist name Mic! Do you have any influences or inspirations for your sensational style ? My influences are a wild mix of artists, producers and bands across a wide range of genres. It's like - J. Cole, Andre 3000, Joyner Lucas to Timbaland, Mike Will, and Just Blaze to classic rock bands like Ambrosia and Kansas. I love it all. I'd have to say my family is my biggest source of inspiration. All I want to do is put out good music for everyone to enjoy and make them proud. Tell us about your record “All Again”, was there a message behind this? Yeah, I wrote it about my wife. She's an amazing human being. Just a beautiful person inside & out. We have a wonderful life that we've created and I feel blessed. She's a saint for putting up with me to be honest. In what ways do the lyrics of the record highlight the theme of the song? The lyrics speak about a romance and appreciation for a significant other. Being a father of a little girl, It was really important for me to put out a record that showcased a love and praise for women. She even has her own little outro on the record, its great. What are some challenges you’ve faced in the creation of “All Again” ? My vocals without a doubt haha I'm not the most confident singer and I've always been really insecure about my singing voice. I just decided to go all in! But It helps being the engineer for your own records. What’s next for you Mic? More work, music, placements and collaborations. Start piecing together for bigger projects and new business ventures. A lot to look forward to. Connect with MIC on social media www.instagram.com/openmicproductions www.twitter.com/mic_
