Datant grew up in Los Angeles, CA and always found himself quite lonely in most situations. As he began to grow older he found himself engaging in substances which made him feel more extraverted. He never felt like he belonged in any specific place so he nomaded around and kept people at a distant. These travels led him to various sorts of places that differentiate from one another but none has appealed more significant to him than Texas, where he experience the greatest heartache and pain he's ever faced over the years. Datant eventually turned that pain into art when he began writing and recording music. Datant writes all his music, from drum beats to bass lines guitar solos, synth parts etc. Datant's single “Poppy Romance” touched base on the personal experiences and various travels Datant has endured on. This song was a product of his assorted occurrences. “Poppy Romance” has a beautiful indie alternative vibe with augmented vocals that seems sort of distorted which creates a cool effect for the listeners. This song feels slightly psychedelic but it’s so idiosyncratic where it feels almost difficult to really categorize this single at all. Nonetheless, Datant poured his heart out on the track and if you really focus and hone in on the context of the music, you will see the meaning behind it all and how it personally reflects the artistry of Datant and the character of him stripped away from the fabricated music image. "Poppy Romance" was detailed and ethereal and we enjoyed envisioning all the grainy images of prosperity, peace, and relaxation the song gave us. A beautiful song to add to all our sappy love playlists with a numbed vibe. “For me Dàtant begins as a personal journey. It was a cathartic way to try and move past many personal struggles, turmoil and inner demons that correlated with heartbreak, addiction, and a way to do something creative and positive to distract myself from the outside world and the internal workings of my dark mind.” - Datant Listen to "Poppy Romance" here. Hi there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? I'm Josh Ó. I write the sings and I song in the band. Do you believe growing up and dealing with different battles of anti-socialism helped shape the artist you are today? Well everyone is different in that some people use their art as a vehicle to channel their emotions, some use it to escape their emotions, some use it to confront their emotions.... Fransisco Goya is one of my favorite painters because he actually captured his madness and his descent into madness through his art. I say this because he became increasingly antisocial and isolated. I didn't actually grow up anti social and in fact loved human interaction but was always so different than everyone especially my age that for a while I became more distant and closed off more because people didn't really accept me. Around the time I started to really get into guitar and music as a whole is when I started to drink which helped curve the anxiety and anti social behavior as well so its really hard to say. It certainly helped me lyrically and did shape the way I feel think and write a lot of things in my music, and not just the lyrics as well, it's also affected how I write music as well from melody's to guitar parts etc. How has music served as an escape purpose for you? I don't know if I would say that it has. I never used music to escape I used it to discover and create purpose within my life and myself. What has been the most memorable moment in your career thus far? That's tough because I don't really view any one single moment as more or less special than another, rather another thing accomplished and another positive experience had. I guess some highlights would definitely be opening a recording studio with Gordon Raphael The Producer of The Strokes, Getting to work with Scott Montoya formerly of the Growlers as mixer on our record. Working with Anthony Braun Perry of CatSigns and formerly The Growlers as producer then giving an introduction to the label we were working with to him as well which eventually led to him signing on the label we were on. What does your single “Poppy Romance” mean to you? It's kind of got a duality to it. It was the first song I wrote when I started coming up with ideas for the first incarnation of this project. So I love the song in a way but I hate it well rather hate to think of the lyrics as its about my inner demons, letting go, drug addiction, and an an ex girl friend. It's also the first song I've ever written that I was completely proud of so yeah. What can we expect from Datánt in 2019? Maybe and hopefully a record deal! We had one but in all honesty it didn't work out in the end so I decided to move forward. Hopefully a tour. I'm actually putting together a lot of really cool and new stuff. Currently we are looking to hire and replace a few people so I am gonna start looking and auditioning people this week. I have big plans to start building a really cool elaborate stage set up too.

Southern Cali native, ellie d. is a singer/songwriter who also happens to be an up and coming Indie Pop artist. Growing up in a home with rock influences, there was always some music playing. She has a very soothing sound that paired with her youthful spirit, gives us a fresh addition to the music scene. Her inspiration comes from her deep love for LA and those around her. Making her way to to LA and using her music as a grounding force not to be reckoned with, she is stepping out full force. And now let’s take a look into her latest single “Leave A Message”. Oh Ellie! Her vocals sound so natural and effortless. I hear this single and immediately get that I am more than this situation and I am still strong! The production of this track gives you such a variety. It has some smooth swindling sounds mixed with an upbeat dance anthem! I can hear the LA vibes blaring through the speakers. There is something so innocent and young yet has a aspect of a vintage vibe throughout "Leave A Message". This single gives you a very soothing trance followed up with a indie pop spirit. Easily a top 50 Billboard record - we can't wait to hear more! Listen to "Leave A Message" here and find out below what elle d. has in store for 2019! Hey ellie! Will you please introduce yourself to our readers? Hey, I’m ellie d. (Ellie Dubin) and I’m a singer/songwriter and actress from Los Angeles! Thanks for the feature! I love music, my family and friends, and of course my dog Scooby. When did you realize you had to make music your life passion? I have been singing and performing probably since I was 3 years old. I remember putting on performances for my brothers when I was growing up. I even made little fake paper tickets in order for them to attend. There was always music playing in our house, no matter the occasion. My dad, who was actually in a rock band in college, raised us on rock music. We listened to The Who, U2, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bruce Springsteen. There was one summer I remember when I was younger, my family was in Avalon, Catalina and I saw this girl playing guitar and singing in the middle of the main town square. I thought, wow, I want to do that. So the next year, I brought my guitar, set up next to the pier, and sang for two hours while people came by. It was the best feeling. How did you discover what sound resonated with you? Although my background primarily comes from rock influence, I really started connecting with electronic music when I was in college. After attending “GRAMMY camp” a camp put on by the Recording Academy back in high school, I grew a passion for writing toplines for producers and electronic music. While in college, I started working with producers on a variety of tracks and found that my voice suited the electronic world. I also love the way electronic music makes me feel. What is the message behind “Leave A Message”? I wrote "Leave a Message” as an anthem to growing up and trying to learn from the past. Many times we get stuck in the past whether it be with relationships or events and it can affect how we carry ourselves in the present. If we focus on ourselves and get don’t pulled back in, we can produce more positive energy in our lives. “Leave a Message” was also inspired by my move back to my hometown of Los Angeles after being away for four years at school. Trying to get back on track after college can be a challenge, but music and songwriting has really been guiding me. I’ve moved on, I'm home in the greatest city, and I’m getting back on track. What will you be doing musically throughout 2019? This year I plan to create a ton of new music, collaborate with as many people as I can, and hopefully write an EP.

Kevin Goodwin is a singer/songwriter/pianist that hails from North Carolina. Kevin has recently made his way into the music scene after releasing two singles in 2018, “Alaska” and “All I Can Think About”. I can definitely hear influences from notable artists, The Fray and Jack’s Mannequin, as a base to his really unique sound. Although he has those traces of Pop influences, his sound really stands out on its own. With his use of deep, storytelling and emotionally expressive lyrics, Kevin Goodwin has surely found a way to break into the music industry. His debut album drops February 1st, 2019. Tuning in to “All I Can Think About” immediately you are struck with a pleasant surprise. Kevin Goodwin truly has a way of projecting a soft and sultry vibe while still giving off that fun and pop energy. His voice takes you on a ride through the story of who she is and that is before getting to the video. The pianos melody is a beautiful accompaniment to the passion you hear in his voice. Then just as you’ve caught on to the hook, you are blasted into a series of ebbs and flows with this phenomenal electric guitar solo. You are caught in this emotional rhythmic battle and as you begin to unwind with the song it sends you away with a smile. Listen to Kevin Goodwin's new song "All I Can Think About" here. Hey Kevin! If you don’t mind, please introduce yourself. I'm a 24 year old singer/songwriter from Charlotte, North Carolina, who wants to bring pop/rock music back to you one song at a time. Growing up, what musical influences did you listen to the most? My childhood was filled with a lot of the music that my parents listened to. Luckily for me, that meant a lot of artists such as Elton John, Queen, and Phil Collins were my introduction to music. I was also very much into the pop and rock music that was at the forefront of the nineties. Alanis Morissette, Lenny Kravitz, and Counting Crows were not only musicians that I grew up listening to, but are still artists that really heavily influence my songwriting style. At what point did you realize you wanted to add “singer” to your list of talents? I started playing piano, and for that matter, writing songs when I was about seven. I knew ever since then that I wanted to be a songwriter. Singing wasn't something that came as naturally to me as playing piano or songwriting, though. I was a very shy kid, and it wasn't until I was about fourteen that I really started singing in front of audiences. Once I found my footing, I fell in love with it. What is your main source of inspiration for the song “All I Can Think About”? Coincidentally, “All I Can Think About” is the first song I ever finished writing with lyrics. I wrote it when I was fifteen about a girl I had a crush on who ended up coming to a New Year's Eve party I threw. I wrote it about that feeling of regret over letting your shyness and insecurity stop you from taking a chance. In this case, that chance was talking to the girl my high-school self was too nervous to ask out. Why is it important that you set yourself apart? I know that as a listener, I'm really drawn to artists that are genuinely original. I never want to hear someone doing their best impersonation of someone else; I want to hear them as the artist they are. The hard thing to figure out as an artist is what it is that makes you unique and different from everybody else. Once you get a grip on that, it's all about building on it and making your own sound. I'm a storyteller, and I want to always tell the stories I have in a way that no one other than myself could. Can you give us a sneak peak into your debut EP “This Is How It Starts”? “This Is How It Starts” is a record with songs that I wrote from many different times in my life over the past decade. I wanted to pick songs for this record that depicted love and growth of a young adult. It's a coming-of-age record, and one that I hope everyone's late teen and early twenties self will relate to.

Sal Saatchi is a New York native that has been pursuing his passion of music for 15 years. In May of 2016, he released an acoustic album, Live in Studio. This album featured both original songs and covers. In June 2016, Sal toured the US playing at various shows and open mic nights. He even wrote for Dream Recording Studios in September 2016. This guy was on the move! August 2018, he released 2 singles off of his debut, completely original album "Sold". Ultimately releasing the full album the same month, this singer/guitarist has something to say! So let’s check out one of the songs off his latest album titled “Wrong Side”. “Wrong Side” is the right side! Everything about the song gives you a reason to smile. I think his vocals being one of the first things you hear right after him strumming his guitar is one that gives you that good gut feeling that country music gives you. But then you have all the various drums and electric guitars and light plucking at the guitar, giving us a blues and alternative tune. It’s hard to catch the pain in his lyrics because the production and vocals are so enticing. Then you hear the story just as it closes. Sal Saatchi gives his all and then some in this track. I can hear the dedication and passion. We can't wait to hear what's next from Sal Saatchi! Listen to Sal Saatchi's new song "Wrong Side" here and find out the exclusive from Sal about the meaning behind his new song. Readers, I would like to introduce to you Sal Saatchi. Sal, tell our readers a little about yourself. Born and raised in Long Beach, NY. Been playing music for 15 years. I'm writing music to make people feel how I felt when I first heard my favorite artists play their music. I want to give someone the feeling of resonance that I felt when I first heard the first four notes of Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, or the excitement I felt from ear-ing out John Frusciante's solos on Scar Tissue and how encouraged I felt to learn more and more of my favorite artists' music. I want to pass that feeling on to other people. I want to give people a friend whenever they need one in their headphones at any given moment in any given place. How intense was the 20 city tour you had in summer 2016? I had and made a lot of friends along the way that made it way easier than it should have been. It was a blast. I made memories and connections that will last forever. There are lots of great, talented writers across this country. Go find them. Sold has been a successful album. What do you think made it so successful? The sheer number of people that contributed to this album is incredible to me. Everything was done by the power of friendship. I can't thank everyone who participated in the making of this enough. They helped me turn songs I was playing in my room into proper tracks with a full band. We did the best we could with the tools we had, I'm proud of it. What is “Wrong Side” about? Loaded question. I suppose it's about realizing that you're always going to be wrong about something to somebody, in this case that somebody was a significant other. You try every thing you can to make it work, but at the end of the day all you can really say is "I'm sorry" and give somebody time to deal with whatever it is they're dealing with. What has been the best thing so far about being an artist? I'm still having a hard time considering myself a true artist. But the best thing so far is that out-of-body experience and genuine joy you get when you're truly immersed in writing, playing or making something. What can we expect from you this year? I'd like to get a band together and play more shows. I'm looking for a drummer and a bassist at the moment. Been picking up the pen a lot lately though...maybe another album by 2020? We'll see.

Scott Pell is an artist that currently resides in Central New Jersey. Although a new artist, he is far from ordinary. He writes, composes, produces, mixes/masters and engineers all of his own music. That is exceptional! Most well-known artists can’t even do that. Scott released his first single just a few months ago. Now a 3-track EP, “Thank You, I Love You” dedicated to his past love. He poured his heart into this EP about the girl he use to share his life with. As I tune into “Myself In You”, I am looking forward to feeling the song entirely. This track was SOOOOOO good! I mean I can hear this mans heart in every lyric. He was in love. True love. And to rap about it in this way is inspiring. The guitar is what gets me. It gives it that smooth alternative and country mood. I can hear the mix and master production in this track and to know HE did it, Wow! He took his time and made sure the necessary additions made sense for the song. I love the end. It gives you about 30 seconds of the guitar so softly as it fades away. Emotions can create beauty and when you have all the skills to make it perfect, you come up with this. Scott Pell made a masterpiece with this single and EP as a whole and I felt it deep within. Listen to “Myself In You” here and get to know Scott Pell in our interview below! How’s it going? Care to introduce yourself to our readers? My name is Scott Pell, and I am an artist from NJ. I have been producing for 3 years, and just started putting vocals over my beats summer of 2018. My first song was released around that time. I Write/Compose/Produce/Mix/Master/Engineer all of my work. Currently attending school at Ramapo College of New Jersey, with plans of receiving a Bachelors Degree in Music Production & Engineering. Although I am self taught, I plan to refine my skills at school to take my craft to the next level. What made you decide to become the whole package when it comes to all your skills? I figure it's best to rely on yourself to make things happen. I've always loved producing, and I would write lyrics in my phone in high school. At the time I never planned to become an artist. The summer going into my first year of college I decided to purchase FL Studio and a midi keyboard, and began making beats in my dorm room at Rutgers University. I wouldn't even go out much. I was so focused on learning FL that I even filled a couple notebooks with notes. I would sit there for hours teaching myself because I never had a mentor to help teach me the technical side of music making. And for producers reading this, many of you probably know how hard that can be sometimes, especially when you're just starting out. I was originally going to major in business, but I decided to leave Rutgers and get an associates degree from my community college back at home. During that time I was only taking 3 classes a semester so I could really focus on the music. It took me 3 years to complete my associate's because I was taking my time and giving my craft the proper attention. I can say confidently now that I found the core of my sound when I came back home, and that's something I'll always treasure in my heart. It's more special and personal when you go through things by yourself. It can really test you. But the fruits of your labor are rewarding. Why did you choose to put yourself out there with this EP? For this EP, it wasn't even really about me, but the girl that it's for. I felt I needed to say these things to her. To open her eyes about love and how much I really loved and cared for her. But sometimes you don't get that in return. And I put myself out there with this project because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what people think of me, good or bad. What matters is what I think of myself, and what I want to say in my music. I am comfortable to say openly that I was depressed last year because of what happened between her and I. Lots of things weren't said, lots of emotions weren't communicated. We never ended things face to face. That's probably what hurts the most. And I was alone putting myself back together for almost an entire year because of it. Trying to find the answers within myself. I loved her more than anyone I ever have in my entire life. However, it's clear now that she didn't feel the same to the degree I did. I do believe she loved me, and maybe she still does deep down. But if you love someone, and I mean truly love someone, you show them. I haven't spoke to her in over a year and that says enough. And that's why I had to let this go. New relationships can't manifest if your holding onto past ones. I was holding myself back in life if I didn't say what I needed to say to her. The way I see myself and and my art is the only thing I am concerned about. The world will adjust. When creating the track “Myself In You” what made you come up with the choice if instrumental? First, I just want to say that this song was made in one day. I produced and wrote the song about 3-4 months ago. The mixing and mastering was done early January. I found this guitar sample and I instantly connected to it. It's a very emotional guitar melody in my opinion, you can really feel it in your heart. The beat was created pretty fast and fluid, probably in less than an hour. The writing took a little longer just because I wanted to get my words right. It's crazy because when I made this beat I didn't intend to write about her. It kind of just happened naturally. I don't like to think a lot when making music, but rather feel what the tracks call for. Forcing a certain sound or message into a track never delivers. You gotta just sit back and let your soul do the talking. She was on my mind a lot at the time, and looking back without a doubt that's why it was written about her. Any plans for visuals for this single or others? I'm on the fence if I should do a music video for this. This is very personal so making a music video feels awkward in a sense. It's too personal to put myself in front of a camera and do something for it. But I do have this idea of making a music video for "Myself In You" by letting actors take what I said and run with it. I would want to create a music video/scene telling that story. Because that's what it is to me. A story about a part of my life. I already lived it, I don't have the desire to live it again or reenact it. Having other people capture what I said into a video would be extraordinary. Honestly, I may do this. Keep an eye out. What can we anticipate coming from you in 2019? I'm dropping a single every 3-4 weeks. I will be a world-wide artist by 2020. Mark my words. Love.

There is a fresh and new Indie Retro-pop sensation out of Denver that goes by the name of Talley. After a painful breakup with his previous band, he had no other choice but to become a solo artist. Something he never saw coming but has lead him to flourish! His debut single looks back on his past while venturing forward to explore new sounds in Indie Rock. His up and coming debut album will pay homage to a different era of music while upholding unity with his expansive, layered, optimistic sound. Talley plans to release music every month until March and then will release his debut album in June 2019. Talley just released his new single "Scared" and we're completely in love with it! The song has a really good true retro feel to it. A get up and dance all night long song with lyrics that are really easy to catch on to. A trait that is definitely something we look for in a quality song. The retro-pop flare is something we can't get enough of! The song features guitars and keys throughout the entire melody, then approaches a climax of a baring electric guitar solo with complementary drums which leads to a closing with layered vocals. Want to hear something crazy? Talley created the song completely by himself. A one man show! It's super hard to believe the whole production of the song was created by just one person! Talley is a true star. Needless to say, we're really looking forward to hearing new releases from Talley every month! Listen to "Scared" here.

After moving out to the US from the far away city of Budapest, Hungary, Renato Gresz isolated himself from most things he was used being exposed to. This new way of living was the reason that he was able to teach himself music production in his bedroom and allowed him to experiment with different genres and styles of playing, writing and recording music. The invested time and indulging efforts resulted into an outcome we will all be appreciative of.. he project called Ventures (FKA Sea Ventures). Instead of bedroom pop his so called “bathtub melancholic” style of singing and occasional madness, creates an atmosphere that welcomes emotions in the strangest forms. Making noise into beauty that you fear to explore, but desire to experience, his song “Pink Flowers” has this dainty conviction of songwriting and emotional substance. “Pink Flowers” is highly comprehensive, unusual from your typical norm of pop music, the all-inclusive approach was memorable for me. “Pink Flowers” has numerous of elements jam packed within one transcendental record. The meaning behind “Pink Flowers” seemed to have been locked and up to us to decode and analyze the intellectual tune. The vocals alongside the cool aesthetic beat made to be my favorite elements of the song. The fused sound by both created a sensational environment for me. However, my personal favorite section in “ Pink Flowers” is the 3 different major transitions in the beat. It takes the song into multiple different directions rather than sticking within one lane. It was one of the few elements that caused me to become a fan of Renato, besides of course his poetic lyricism. The nomadic aura of “ Pink Flowers” suits perfectly for those of you who are fan of artists such as “FKA twigs”. Listen to Ventures new song "Pink Flowers". Hi there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? Hi! My name is Renato. Im 6’1” and I weigh 154 pounds. I’m a blonde Caucasian male and the color of my eyes are blue with a slight tint of green. My nationality is Hungarian and I wear glasses that are shaped like the one your grandfather probably wears. How did you form the name “Ventures” ? any meaning or inspiration behind it? Honestly it just sounded cool so I kind of went with Sea Ventures when I released my first EP, but it felt like a band name and currently I’m working alone so I decided to take the Sea out if it. There’s not really much behind it. What inspired you to write your single “ Pink Flowers”? It was actual pink flowers. I was at a thrift store in Florida and I saw these pictures of different plants and flowers and it kinda caught my attention so I kept being focused on that imagery and visual in my head. You have a unique style, if you could categorize your music in any genre what would you categorize it as and why? When people ask me about my music I usually tell them that I make sad noises, but if I had to put it into a genre I would say it’s experimental pop bestrewed with elements of eastern folk and electronic pulses. Do you have any musical influences? If so who and why? When I was making this song I actually felt bad when I heard similarity in my sound to something I listen to, because taking inspiration from other artists felt like I’m not being creative and copying someone else so it took me some time and courage to realize that inspiration is the path to creativity. You can’t really make something from nothing therefore you need a source that nudges you in a direction. Bon Iver’s 22, A Million was a major influence on this and I’d say mostly, because of the way those songs break out from the norm and have these cracks and very pleasant sound and samples which give it this unexplained flow that immediately catches one’s attention.    Another big one was Trevor Powers’ album called Mulberry Violence. His way of using noise that wouldn’t be expected to be made into music, fit in perfectly with the dissonant piano chords, loud industrial beats and discontinuous scenes that leave you feeling like the blood freezes for those moments in your body. And if I had to say one more It would be Young Fathers’ Cocoa Sugar album. All three of these artists are kind of doing the same thing by making a unique sound that you couldn’t imagine hearing before so you are really surprised when you hear something so unexpected. I really look up to people who are able to create that. What’s the impact you hope for your music to have on your listeners? I don’t really want to have an impact with my music. I sure hope for it to inspire people to have a better understanding of themselves not, because I wan’t to change something in them or show them something of myself, but to help make them vulnerable towards themselves and gain more understanding of what’s going on. What was your initial vision for “ Pink Flowers” ? Do you think you executed your vision as planned? When you look at a flower you see something beautiful and captivating, but that flower also dies one day and then it looks ugly. There’s this sort of fear that takes a hold of you as you see the reality of this around you. I really wanted to focus on different things that represent the aforementioned image. “pink flowers blooming in our hearts, wild cherries rotting in our minds”  I wanted to build the song around these objects and personify them as if I was talking to them, but since these also represent almost everything in life, I’m also talking to myself and everyone around me. A lot of my relationships with people and my relationship with myself are represented in this song. There’s this circle of emotions within everyone towards everyone that makes them want to say different things and change their minds about it a minute later. Like when you were a teenager and you’d tell your parents you loved them, but five minutes later when you got into some stupid fight with them you’d tell them you hate them, but an hour later you felt differently again. “so come here and rest yourself......still, I would love to make you cry”. Have you performed live yet? If so, how do you get rid of your nerves? If you haven’t performed live yet, how are you planning on overcoming any nerves you may feel? I haven’t performed with this new project yet, but when the time comes I hope I’ll figure out how to deal with it. The other bands I performed with, I didn’t feel nervous so much, because I wasn’t alone, since there were five other people performing and a concert is like a construction where you’re not the only pillar so the weight isn’t only on your shoulder and the responsibility splits up therefore you know the focus isn’t only on you. Also if I still felt anxious I just drank a few beers before the gig and hoped for the best. What’s your 3 month, 6 month, and 1 year career goal? In 3 months: Have my first gig. In 6 months: Either release an EP or be working on album             in 1 year: I wanna buy a farm in Missouri and raise up families of opossums and armadillos while I have my own fountain that has root beer flowing out of if.

Lady Frequency is a phenomenal woman. Being a self-taught vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, there isn’t anything she can’t do! Falling love with music by way of piano, Lady Frequency would sit at the piano for hours playing by ear. Her relationship with the piano binder her to singing and writing music which only made sense. She has several musical influences including Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson. Lady Frequency creates an eclectic storm of sounds. Giving her her own lane and style. Looking into this song “Sweet Thang” I did not know what to expect so let’s check it out. Immediately out the gate, her cover art is crazy. I see her love for the piano is evident. Not only in the cover art but in the song as well. There’s a very familiar yet different sound here. As soon as her vocals come in completely, I am blown away by her tone. Again very unexpected because it’s got a little wine, with some house and some jazz. Not to mention the alternative with middle eastern swings. I even hear some soul. Talk about eclectic! Then the pre-climax to climax; I hear so many various sounds trailing into one another working together. Lady Frequency is the perfect name. She has taken all these frequencies and made them work for her sound. And I love it! Listen to "Sweet Thang" and check out our exclusive interview with Lady Frequency below! Hey there! Would you mind telling our readers who you are? My name is Lady Frequency and I am an eclectic soul musical artist from Ventura, California. What is the hardest thing about the production of “Sweet Thang”? The hardest thing would have been capturing all of those background vocals and harmonies. I really enjoy layered and heavy sounding vocals and those took a few days to lay down. I actually had to re-record all of them because I had recorded them wrong at first on accident. It turned out to be much better the second time and I wrote new parts to the song that elevated it. Where do you see yourself in the next few years? I see myself traveling and touring around the world and playing/making music with other like-minded musicians. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Melbourne, Australia. Hopefully I will have been there by then. If you could describe your sound in so many words what would that be? I struggle describing my sound because there are a few genres kind of mushed into one. It's really just naturally what happens and I think I've come to the conclusion of it being called eclectic soul. There are R&B, Jazz, Funk, and Neo-Soul elements in what I tend to create. Where can we find you on social media? You can find me on Instagram. My username is @ladyfrqncy. What can we anticipate coming from you this year? I'm very excited to be releasing my first ever album this year and will be playing some shows as well.

Indie singer-songwriter and composer Matt Davis otherwise known by his stage and recording name, “Lankford” released his first single, “Melt” in October of 2018. The listener is introduced to a lovely and beautiful folk guitar instrumental as the music video begins. We are greeted with a monotone music video which is perfectly complemented with the sweet and subtle tones of acoustic guitars and reverb. The song itself is very calming and is reminiscent to a stripped down version Of Monsters and Men and Bon Iver. The tempo is kept by what seems to be shakers and maybe a tambourine, which adds to the depth of the song. A lot of imagery is used in the music video itself, which displays a high production quality especially with the neat effects of large shadows that seem to be taunting the woman that is dancing. Lankford’s vocals are dreamy and makes the listener more intrigued by the second. The tone quality of the track is very nostalgic in a way and gives off a very longing kind of vibe. This is a very beautiful song and is well rounded in all verses and aspects. If you love indie music, this will be your new bop to have on repeat! Be sure to listen and add "Melt" to your favorite playlists! Why do you think you gravitated toward an indie genre of music? I think I gravitate towards the indie genre on accident. As a songwriter I wanted the freedom of self expression without the expectation of creating a specific genre like rock or pop. When I wrote “Melt” I was asked, “what genre of music is it?” I didn’t really know. Did some searching for artists with similar styles, and the indie genre just stuck. How would you describe your songwriting process? (i.e. do you have a concept in mind, write lyrics before melody etc). Songwriting to me is like communicating. I get a certain emotion about an event in life. Sometimes its fresh and I'm in the moment, sometimes I've been holding on to it for a while. I will just start putting my brush to the canvas and the picture comes to me, like I'm finally ready to let the world know how I really feel. Its liberating. Sometimes I hum gibberish until words just form. Like I'm letting go of what was always there. Where does your stage name Lankford come from? The name Lankford. Well growing up, I always thought my step dad was my father. Wasn't until I was in my teens that I found out my parents split when I was just a couple years old. After reconnecting with my father I found out our biological last name was Lankford. I decided to go by that, and honor my father as a way of forgiving him, and to symbolize reuniting with a part of my identity. My history. What is one thing that you think your listeners should take from your song , “Melt”? I hope my listeners get a sense of encouragement. That they can speak up about any negative self image, doubt, depression, or whatever it may be that is keeping them from their own perception of a happy life. I hope they know that they are not alone. And that they cherish those who stand and love us when we are down. What is your favorite lyric of , “Melt” and why? My favorite line is probably the chorus. “Can’t keep this all together, will you love me till I'm better” Because it sort of ties the whole idea of the song together. We all need someone, especially when we believe the worst in ourselves. What inspired you to write “Melt”? I have struggled with self doubt and depression pretty much my whole life. I've really seen what it can do to those who give in. “Melt” was a moment where I was thinking about some family members, how I wish I could have been there for them. Its sort of what everyone's afraid to say, fearing they will look weak. I wanted to break that barrier down. What's planned for Lankford this year? This year is a big year for Lankford. My first Single “Melt” is gaining momentum. Lankford will continue to produce new singles, leading up to a full album. Meanwhile we have a partnered project with a European brand that will be a surprise hopefully releasing very very soon. This is just the beginning.
