Can you tell us more about yourself? When did you move to New York? I moved to New York in 2011 from Jamaica. I went to MS 246 then I went to Science Skills center High school. After graduating High school in 2016, I went to LaGuardia Community college where I graduated in the fall of 2017. I then started John Jay College in the spring of 2018 where I am expected to graduate in the Fall of 2019 with a major in a Criminal Justice and a double minor in theatre and music. We love your track “Grinding”. What was the writing process like for this song? Grinding was produced by Reefboi who I am so thankful for. Without the track that he made, “Grinding”would not be possible. He sent me the beat on the Friday and I was on the subway trying to figure out what exactly it was that I could put to it. Grinding was the first thing that came to my mind and I stuck with it and I’m happy I did. The following day, which was the Saturday, I sat down and I wrote the song, I really liked it and I sent it to him and he liked it too. I went to the studio on Sunday and I did the song. Sent over the files, to Reefboi and he mixed and mastered it! I love the way he did it and I’m really happy because he is such a great producer. The song is really about taking on the attributes of other individuals that your significant other finds attractive and using them to make sure your partner goes no where because, there is no need to cheat, and waste time energy and money that has been invested into the relationship. If they want a baddie, you can be a baddie! You can transform into whoever they want. Who are your top three biggest musical influences? I have a lot of music influences, it’s very hard to choose due to the fact that everyone has made an impact on me. Three people I could choose would be, Beyonce, Daniel Caesar, and Alicia Keys. Even though there are a lot more, I must say that Marvin Gaye, Lauryn Hill, The Bee Gees and others from the the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s are also great influences because I grew up listening to them and I see a greater and more meaningful connection with their music. What can we expect from your upcoming album? From my album, you can expect, truth, fun, and sadness. You can expect rawness because I feel the more raw I am, the more one can relate. What’s your fan base like in New York? Do you perform often? I have a fan base, it’s not very huge but it’s getting there as people are liking the song “Grinding.” I have performed at DROMNYC and the crowd was loving it. I have more performances coming soon. I also perform unreleased songs at these shows, so come out and support so you can hear more. You can expect a music video very soon and it will be something amazing.

Shaleisha McDonald, better known by her artist name Lei Renee is a 29 year old from Gaithersburg, Maryland and was raised by a single mother who did everything she could to set her up for success. At 12 years old, she started singing and was told that if she wanted to become a singer, she had to practice – and practice she did! After gaining support from others who raved over her voice and believe that she will become someone important one day Lei took practicing and her hobby to making messages and music that she hopes can get people through anything, especially heartbreak. Looking for a song to help you through that heart break? Then look no further because “Heart Attack” is the track for you to get your heart beating again. Lei’s voice is filled with passion and she gorgeously eases through the song gliding over each note as naturally as breathing. I personally love the tone that she uses to deliver her emotion filled lyrics such as “I messed up and I know, made my bed” and “Losing my best friend, I said I apologize”. Close your eyes. Focus on the different layers of “Heart Attack” and technical changes between chorus, verse and bridge that Lei blends so beautifully together. I am a big fan of writing a classically structured song and the style that Lei has written “Heart Attack” reminds me of the style that artists like Ariana Grande and SIA use – very laid-back and down-to-earth but also a song that touches the audience on a personal level. Lei’s voice is unique, her style is a fantastic mix of different modern day Pop and Hip-Hop, and her lyrics are extremely well written and delivered! Listen to “Heart Attack” here and get to know more about Lei Renee below! Hey Lei! Fantastic to chat with you! Can you tell us a bit more about yourself? I’m 29 from Montgomery County Maryland. I have been singing since I was about 12 years old.  I’m an Army veteran, served 9 years in the military. I always knew that my path should always be about what makes me happy.  I found that singing was my passion and I never let that go since. What inspires you to create new music and gives you drive to write lyrics that touch your listeners on a personal level? My mistakes, my heartbreaks, my pain...you know things that I’ve encountered in life; I write about it. We all experience pain, but ultimately my goal is to help my listeners get through whatever they are going through. I’m not saying every song will be about overcoming something, but I definitely want my listeners to gain something after listening to me. Is there a deeper meaning behind the lyrics in “Heart Attack”? Well it’s about that feeling you get in your chest when you break up with someone. The feeling you get when you know it’s over, but it’s still surreal to you. It’s about that moment. Who musically inspires you the most? I’d say Aaliyah and TLC inspire me the most musically. I grew up listening to them, wishing I was them. Everything about Aaliyah in music, I wanted to emulate. Tell us what we can expect to see from you in 2019. Well you guys can definitely expect more music from me.  I have a project I’m working on right now. I will be learning my fans this year. I want to push past my fears this year and do me.  So you’ll be seeing me bring more to the table musically. Connect with Lei Renee on social media www.instagram.com/_lei_renee

All the way from Houston, Texas is the rapper Brick OTB whose aim is to offer an alternative perspective, for the discerning ears of today’s youth. Fusing social commentary, and witty lyrics over smooth instrumentation, he is intentionally mapping the road less traveled and he wouldn’t have it any other way! “I’ve watched everything else change around me in Houston. It’s time for the music to reflect the changes I’ve seen visually.” Brick OTB released the single “11:11” and this inviting record had a nice dynamic in rap vocals which was soothing with the lo-fi beat. The soaring melodic production has an ethereal and unique approach to the beat, which helped lay down the foundation for the rapper’s delivery and lyrics. “11:11” is perfect to kickback, relax, and enjoy a nice mellow down vibe. For me, I believe rap music should feel elevated and diverse. Brick OTB serves that purpose well in “11:11” while showcasing a new dimension to hip-hop and rap music! Instead of the aggressive, hard-hitting beats, and rapidly fast flow, he shows a more calming side with consistency. This is a song I will lay down, close my eyes, and focus myself into the meaning and theme it’s presenting. I loved how solid everything was. The way OTB crafted this record was well-rounded and masterful, with a mesmerizing detail to the aesthetic of the song. This is a top-flight hit and we’re sure the community of hip-hop would love it! Who doesn’t like conscious rap in 2019? Tuh! Listen to "11:11"" here and get to know more about Brick OTB below! Welcome Brick OTB! You have a unique artistic appeal. Do you have any influences for this? growing up i listened to a lot of devin the dude, outkast, and ugk. the thing about andre 3000 and pimp c, is that they made thought provoking music. you might hear a verse from pimp or dre that might shift your perspective on life, might make you look at things differently. listen to ugk you might learn something. they were the ones pushing the culture forward when i was comin up. that’s really the approach i take, i try to put something in my music that someone else can take away from and use. How has growing up in Houston Texas impact your style of music? everyone raps in my city. you probably can go to any street on any block in Houston and find at least one person that raps good. so growing up, we were exposed to a lot of good ass music. if you not jammin, no ones gonna listen to you. some artists don’t even perform in houston anymore cause of the “lack of crowd energy” but it’s not a lack of energy, we jus be chillin and if you go hard we gon fwu. and everyone freestyles in the H, when i was comin up freestylin was jus something you do to pass the time. i still would start flowing at the most random times, driving to work, in the shower n shit. so last summer, i just decided to start recording some of my freestyles, and turn em into records. Describe the songwriting approach to 11:11 ? well, it was a freestyle. or at least it started that way. that freestyle turned out to be the first half of the song. we actually recorded 11:11 earlier this year during the superbowl. after the first half was done, i just went back in the booth, thought about what message i wanted to say, figured out how to say it in it’s most simplest form, and laid it down piece by piece. and by the end of the game, we had “11:11” What’s the major theme that’s surrounding this record? when you see that number, 11:11 it’s a sign, it’s a signal of a spiritual awakening. it means that you’re waking up to the things of the spiritual world. it means you’re in alignment or to get in alignment. a lot of people, when they see 11:11, they think of the “make a wish” thing. but in my opinion, when you take a moment to think about “if i had one wish, what would it be?” what you’re doing is visualizing your greatest desire. whether your conscious of it or not, what your really doing is setting your intentions, and grounding yourself. the most important thing, when your trying to manifest your reality is setting your intentions, and visualizing your highest possible outcome. that’s why i say “you always got to know what you want, remained focus. if you don’t know what you want, you can’t focus.” the mind is very powerful. your thoughts are vibrations that hold power. i want my listeners to  realize that their thoughts hold power and to know their worth, if they don’t already. What’s next for you? i’m about to drop my next single, “Open The Blinds” and a one-take freestyle “Game Been Good Freestyle” Connect with Brick OTB on social media www.instagram.com/brick_otb

Residing in Orlando, Florida, Akashic is an electronic music producer and independent artist. He’s known for his ability to fuse dubstep and progressive house music seamlessly. Akashic currently attends Icon Collective, a music production school that has graduated notable artist such as Kayzo, Jauz, Slander, NGHTMARE, Protohype, and many more. Producing his own music for 3 years, Akashic’s two newest releases titled “Alive With You” and “Burning Down” are a stride towards music production that comes from within the heart and soul. Let his ambient and unique stylings take you through the motions. Using inspiration from the heart, Akashic explodes into the music scene with one of his newest releases “Burning Down”. The ambient vibe and calming feeling in the beginning is only preparing you for the absolute soundscape and journey this track will take you on. The arrangement of backbeats and powerful synths sent a shockwave of goosebumps through my whole body. When the heavy dubstep beat drops within “Burning Down” I was taken a step back. Hearing these genres fused together so effortlessly is a  ground breaking experience. Akashic’s ear for the incredible is unmatched. My favorite lyric repeated throughout “Burning Down” is, “Someone save me, set me free”. It’s a pleading anthem for those of us who feel trapped within our own bodies. I think Akashic wants his listeners to interpret his music however they can relate and that admirable. I can honestly say this track is being adding to my personal playlist for summer 2019 and I highly recommend you do the same! This single and many others are available on all major streaming platforms. Stay on the lookout for Akashic, electronic music producer extraordinaire. Listen to "Burning Down" here and get to know more about Akashic below! We love your sound! Where does the name Akashic come from? Akashic comes from the term Akashic records. The google definition says the Akashic records are a compendium of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the etheric plane. So the belief is that through deep meditation we can access the Akashic Records and psychic abilities and premonitions are possible because the medium is accessing this etheric plane. Spirituality inspires me and this is one aspect of it that fascinates me and something I want to know more about. When I write music, sometimes it comes to me out of nowhere, I feel it or hear it in my mind and soul I always wonder if it's coming from something higher, this etheric plane or something. How did you come up with the idea to fuse dubstep and progressive house? It just developed over a long period of time. My roots go back to indie rock and post punk music. Over time it developed into post-rock/shoegaze, ambient/electronic, electronic indie rock, and now this. I have two sides of me, an ambient chill side, and a heavy bass distortion side. I wanted to blend the two together and create something unique. I love dubstep music but I didn't want to just be a dubstep artist. My voice is much more than that. I love listening to ambient, trance, and progressive house as well so I needed to express that side also. It's not really something I aim for. It's just what comes out of me and then I try to categorize it so people can better understand it. So the closest thing I could come up with is a fusion of dubstep and progressive house. What challenges have you faced as an up and coming artist? How do you overcome these challenges? The biggest challenge I face is just getting my music heard. I've done a lot of independent marketing and I've started to grow a small following but I'm ambitious and competitive so I want to grow it much more. My next step is to release a single on a label for more exposure. Do you also perform the vocals on your tracks? The two releases I have called "Alive With You" and "Burning Down" are from a vocalist named Holly Drummond. She has a beautiful voice and I've been following her for a long time, but for future tracks I'm going to be singing on them. In previous bands I was a back up singer and just recently I've become more comfortable with my voice. So I plan to be singing myself on future releases. My next release called "Cake" I'll be singing on along with a rapper. Are your two newest releases leading up to a full EP? They are going to stay as singles and won't be included in an EP but I plan to be releasing a full EP around fall of this year. I've already begun producing some of the songs and they're sounding super sick already. I'm really stoked to continue working on it and release it one day. I believe it will set a wave through the scene and allow me to really establish my voice. Connect with Akashic on social media www.instagram.com/akashicmusic www.twitter.com/akashic_music

Holiday began writing and playing music at the age of Fifteen, when he first picked up a guitar and bass. He was a bassist and songwriter for The Chase who created a big buzz in the LA music scene. When the Chase disbanded, Holiday filled the void by learning piano and film scoring. Around this same time, Holiday became obsessed with electronic music and decided to learn everything he possibly could about electronic music production and sound design. He has been ambitiously pursuing a career in electronic music ever since. However, still a fan of music, Holiday continues to perfect his craft, and elevate himself, while collaborating with other artists! Holiday released his single titled “50 Pounds” A sound refreshing, and catchy while blending the addicting genres of Trap, Dubstep, and pop music. The production climaxes in energy, but doesn’t take long to have you exhilarated with the heat Holiday delivers. Holiday's background in guitar, bass, rock and pop songwriting, film scoring, music composition, sound design, as well as his love of electronic music, R&B and Hip Hop is reflected in his catchy, fun and imaginative music like “50 Pounds”. 50 pounds hits the mark for me. The beat was FIRE. I just loved how it had me consumed with the unique elements it consisted of. Holiday shows us that he isn’t just a singular surface artist, and he can execute almost anything. This song was so perfectly crafted together, it showed how Holiday meticulously plans his music. The brilliant fusion of different genres, assures a party for its listener. And you can’t help but be a visitor! Holiday is undeniably on his way to the top of the music game! Listen to "50 Pounds" here and get to know more about Holiday below! Greetings Holiday! You’re an artist with various different talents. Which instrument or style was the most difficult for you to learn and why? I would say that the most difficult instrument to learn was guitar because I never had any formal training and just played by ear. When I started learning the piano thats when all the music theory clicked and I started to understand music and was able to apply that to other instruments. When I was younger I played in bands then moved into scoring. I feel like electronic music was the hardest to learn because at the time when I started I was all about music theory and writing symphonic pieces. This didn't help me at all with EDM because EDM is all about rhythm and not so much about theory and complex chords structures. Getting over my classical background and being more simple was the hardest part. Out of all the styles and genres you’re equipped with, which do you think is presented in “50 Pounds” the most and why? I feel like my love for dubstep and hip hop is best represented in "50 Pounds". I wanted to have the edge of dubstep with the swag of hip hop. How can our listener receive the best experience out of “50 Pounds” ? What type of setting would you recommend listening to this song in? I feel like "50 Pounds" is best represented in clubs for sure but also it's fun to jam to in your car and at party's, retirement homes and day cares as well. . So probably wherever speakers are available. What was your favorite moment as an artist thus far in your career? The most rewarding part for me is when I finish a song that I'm proud of and I listen to it and I can honestly enjoy the song as a listener and not a producer. Obviously it feels good when someone else listens to my music and they enjoy it as well and they express that to me. But at the end of the day I just want to feel good about something I created. Knowing I can create something. What is next for you? I have so much music that is ready for release and at this point making music is like breathing to me. So what I have been dabbling with is art and video production. I have always done my own videos for my teasers and what not . But not I have been doing cover art for others and recently I have been exploring augmented reality with live footage. Not show performance stuff but landscape stuff. I feel like pushing my artistic capability's to the max. So every weekend I go out filming with my go pro to see what type of cool shots I can find, then 3d tracking the footage and adding colorful new elements to the world in the shot. No idea where this will lead but it's definitely a fun for of artistic expression. Connect with Holiday on social media www.instagram.com/officialnickholiday www.soundcloud.com/officialholiday

The Collab is a hip-hop/R&B group from Nashville, Tennessee. They strive to create music about their past experiences and spread meaningful messages about those lessons. The Collab focuses mainly on hip-hop/R&B but they expand to all genres and keep their styles open. The Collab want their music to have feeling and emotion, but also be music you can turn up and vibe to. The newest single released by The Collab is “Change My Ways”. This song is about exactly what the title describes. A man wants to change his past ways to be with the love of his life. His previous ways of playing with other girls are done. The feelings of frustration and lust for someone who comes into your life and blow you away is so relatable. Two notable lyrics that stand out to me are in the same verse, “These are not just lyrics, these are feelings that I feel for you” shortly followed up with “More than just lust, I want that trust and I want you”. This lyricism highlights the powerful message of the song and how serious this man’s feelings are. Giving up our childish behavior for the person that matters most is what life is all about. Love and trust are unparalleled by any other feeling in the world and these guys get that. The production of this track is professional but not over produced. The vocals are spotless and the bars flow smoothly with the addicting backbeat. I seriously recommend checking out this unique track and vibe along with it! Listen to “Change My Ways” here and get to know more about The Collab below! Who are the members of your group? There are 4 members but 2 that make music.

We do have someone who do the engineering for us he goes by the name Xklusive and work out of Xklusive studios What keeps your passion for making music alive? The art to making music, the craft, the expression that we get to use when making music, and also our love of music in general.

Highdiver was formed in Chicago in 2017. The group sets out to combine elements of Shoegaze, Alternative, Metal and Pop music to create a sonic landscape that will get stuck in your head. Their unique and precise sound will have you hypnotized from start to finish. Highdiver reminds me of heavier version of Smashing Pumpkins with their addictive guitar riffs and accomplished lyricism. Their debut EP “Dual Control” is proof of this. “The Skies And The Sea” is the band’s latest single and I’m blasting in through my speakers. The dedication to craft in the detail is admirable. Infectious and vivid music fused with awakening lyrics and skilled musicians. Highdiver brings high energy and an indefinitely loud testimony to the magic of the underground scene.  Layered guitars, ground breaking vocals and deliberate drums give “The Skies And The Sea” a transporting feeling. Painting a soundscape in your mind, Highdiver allows the listener to escape into an alternate reality and live in the music. The heavy breaks during the chorus when the vocalist belts, “I know you well” are the true highlight of this track. It focuses energy on Highdiver’s versatility and expansive knowledge in music. Don’t miss out on checking out “The Skies And The Sea” by Highdiver because it will not disappoint. We can’t wait to see what the intoxicating and fresh band has to offer next! Listen to “The Skies And The Sea” here and get to know more about Highdiver below! What’s the meaning behind “The Skies And The Sea”? "The Skies and the Sea" is essentially a love song. I (Richie Pistol) wrote it about my fiancee. The Skies and the Sea represent us as two different people coming together. What challenges did you face while writing this track? How did you overcome them? This was the first song in which we decided to use a 3 part vocal harmony, which can be heard in the chorus. At first it was challenging using all 3 of our voices at once and making it sound good but eventually figured it out. What’s your stage presence like for someone who has never seen you perform live? Although we have elements of Shoegaze in our music we try to be as lively and engaing on stage as possible, also people have told us that we're pretty loud. Can we expect a full album in the future? Our full debut album "Dual Control" will be out later this year, currently talking to some independent labels about releasing it but we'll see what happens with that.
