BlacKlout is a 23 years old artist from Hawaii, originally from the SouthEast D.C, and raised in the DMV who is currently on active military duty. He’s embracing the Aloha lifestyle, remaining solid to his roots. He has an array of music, and although not everybody will like what he offers, he has a little bit of something for everybody to digest. His first song was “Thot Pose” which was a raunchy but funny, catchy song he performed at the Coast2coast Live Event in Hawaii this past February. He then released a few more singles in which includes “The Vibe” , and “Shining Light”. “Shining Light” is ready to get the summer grooving. The record has this addicting, fun dance-hall beat, that gave off the vibrations of vacation and summer. It began with a beautifully relaxing introduction, with shimmering acoustics from the guitar, setting the tone of the song. The vocals were idiosyncratic and complexed, completely different from what you’ve heard before. BlacKlout delivers a solid rap with a consistent, nice flow. The flow was clean-slated, error-less, and had a nice style to it. I loved the Hawaiian aspect to “Shining Light”. It was nicely incorporated into the record by the paradise feel you received from listening. The glistening aesthetic created a more relaxed energetic vibration for the listener. Shining light was delightful, and prepossessing, alluring its listener in with the charismatic vibes. The hook was memorable. It’s one of those tunes where even if you stopped listening to the track, the hook becomes glued to your memory like super-glue. “Shining Light” is an enticing song we can for sure have on our playlists. Listen to "Shining Light" here and get to know more about BlacKlout below! Hey BlacKlout! How has the military been treating you so far? Any experiences you feel help shaped up who you are today? That’s a great question. It’s been a great experience but I’m in a different headspace and ready to sacrifice just as much if not more delivering music for way more money than I make now. I got in at 17 and have experienced a lot of things so the maturity, passion, leadership experience and drive I had during this career transferred over to music. Tell us about your record “Shining Light” ! what's the major theme surrounding it? Shining Light is simply about love and respect, we lacking in that area overall and I’m sharing my thoughts on it through the song. What inspired you to write “Shining Light”? What brought you into that place to channel in the emotion for the songwriting? Oh shoot here we go, so I got female friends who are close and mad important to me. I used different encounters and feelings I have or have had to make the song. One of them specifically knows it’s about her and hopefully one day ya will too. It was easy to channel the emotion because I respect and care for her so much. What is the legacy you hope to leave behind you? Legacy, I want people to stop being influenced by negative and irrelevant activities. Do what you do but respect those around yoy and if somebody get outta line handle your business. Be a man or woman/ an adult at all times and move with a purpose. No matter what people say. I got Marines I didn’t like but still hit me up for advice or check up because of the impact I made. I could go on forever about this subject but once I’m on a platform where people can hear me as a whole, my music will reflect and I’m ready to go to war over mine. What’s next for you BlacKlout? Currently working on a project with my big bro DJ Idea here in Hawaii. IG: DJ_idea go buy his beats, check his work, he does it all and is an extremely talented and humble dude. We working on a fire album solely produced by him and from there I’m working on getting my music promoted and having my name ringing acros the islands. Everybody not gonna like everything but I got something for everybody. Check my discography.

Oscar the King is a psychedelic group from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, self-described as “a couple of hippies placed on Earth to make this world a better place through the sound of our music.” Oscar the King aims to put you in a trance and have you questioning your very existence, walking into the abyss of endless happiness to see what you might find on the other side. “Peace” is the latest single offered by Oscar the King. The song begins with a sense of tranquility. Piano and nicely understated synth sounds comprise the intro, lulling the listener into a comfortable state of bliss. The verse emerges with vocals that are unique in the sense that they really utilize the lower register of the male voice. This provides an eclectic experience, but nonetheless, the music is very approachable. The song is broken up in the middle by some contrasting vocals that are in a register more consistent with your average song today. This contrast between two seemingly opposite vocal types provide a great variety in what could have been a much simpler song, and when the low and guttural vocals return, this contrast comes full circle. There are some well defined themes of self-acceptance that permeate throughout the lyrics of this song. These themes are sincerely conveyed and will definitely strike a chord with any listener who has lived life. “Peace” is a great song that will keep you on your path, so give it a listen today! Listen to "Peace" here and get to know more about Oscar the King below! Hey! Thanks for catching up and answering a few questions. First of all, how did Oscar the King come together? What’s the origin story? Oscar the King came from the idea of being a leader to the people that need one. I’m trying to influence the population with positive thoughts to change the way people think and give them a different perspective on life. I feel as if there’s not a lot of artists out there that make positive music that will change lives. How would you describe your backgrounds and how you first got involved in music? I first got involved in music at a very young age. I was like 12 when i knew that it was what i wanted to do with my life. I would write poems and songs all the time. I was always listening to music. Who would you say are your biggest collective artistic influences? My biggest influences in music have to be frank ocean, eminem, tame impala, jimi hendrix, lil wayne, flatbush zombies, john mayer and tupac. Can you talk a bit about your writing process? How does your music get made? When im writing music i go off what the beat is saying or trying to say. The melody is a very important part for me and it can make or break a song. I dont really use any special techniques or anything. I’m a pretty lazy person when it comes to doing things, so i feel like the best way for me to get a song done is to schedule a studio day 1-2 weeks in advance. So this way the song has to be conpleted before i get to the studio What can we expect to see from Oscar the King in the future? Within the next year you could expect me to be dropping an album and an ep. also i’d like to say that i’ll be working with a lot of local artists and hopefully a few bigger ones.

Holland Greco is a unique and diverse singer/songwriter that knows how to captivate her audience. Holland is multitalented and she creates music in countless genres that include indie pop, disco, and soul, just to name a few. Throughout her career she has accomplished great success, such as having some of her songs played in movies and television shows! Holland’s latest release, “Real Love” with Funk LeBlanc is a fun, classic, airy, disco romance story with an amazing 20,000 views on YouTube! The song has a slight Blondie vibe to it, transporting you back to the 1980’s, yet Holland and Funk LeBlanc it still able to maintain a modern comfort in her vocals. Holland sings “Its love shining out of me, kissed with permanent emotion, though we never wanna leave, some doors must remain unopened”. Her lyrics give a warm summer vibe perfect for the beach, sunbathing, or going on a road trip. She keeps her lyrics fun and original, which makes me the perfect artist to check out this summer! Listen to "Real Love" here and get to know more about Holland Greco below! Welcome to BuzzMusic Holland Greco, can you tell us a bit about yourself? Hi BuzzMusic!  I’m a songwriter, vocalist, and artists rights enthusiast who creates and works in Los Angeles.  I enjoy lounging in my robe as much as dolling up to the extreme.  I play piano, guitar, solid body electric ukulele, and other odds and ends for various textures and flair.  I’m ever-growing and perennial. Who are your musical inspirations? Stevie Wonder, Prince’s songs & the singers in his world like Apollonia, Sheena Easton, and Sheila E., Robert Lopez & Kristen Anderson-Lopez, local musicians & bands, progressive R&B like Emily King and Hiatus Kaiyote, jazz players & vocalists, oldies, top 40 hits of the past century, indie weirdo stuff – there are so many! What inspired you to create “Real Love”? “Real Love” sprang first off from Funk LeBlanc’s music.  Their compositions have special qualities that I really respond to personally as a lyric and melody writer.  Their music is cute, slyly sophisticated, and fun with vintage feels, but modern sonic qualities. When I first heard the demo track, I loved the retro late 70’s early 80’s kitsch of the intro (which is so cool, and only happens once in the song), the romantic vibe of the verse & chorus sections, and the rollercoaster bridge. I remember writing back to them immediately, thanking them for doing what they do, and for inviting me to color on their canvas. I like to start crafting my parts by recording multiple improvisations over the music, and then picking out interesting bits and listening for suggestions in the verbal nonsense.  That’s how things start to assemble.  I went through a couple story concepts on this track, one of which was more of a “Walking On Sunshine” idea because I wanted to purvey powerful optimism.  One morning I was chipping away at it, though, and the tears of poignant resonance started to flow once the “you could be the love of my life” and “kissed with permanent emotion / some doors must remain unopened” lyrics came to me.  Then I knew what my heart had to say, and I had to follow that inspiration. What were your biggest challenges when writing “Real Love”? One of the biggest challenges on this one was “cracking the code” as I’ve heard rad songwriter, Bonnie Mckee, say.  The lyric and melody were laid out in patches across the musical topography until I really found the truth of the story.  After that, the flow was faster, but I spent many hours in headphones getting there. What is next for you Holland Greco? I’m excited to report that Funk LeBlanc and I have one more really great dance song in the can and ready for you.  They get to pick when it’s released, but it will be this year.  It’s called “Listen For My Love”.  I’ve been saying it’s my theme song because it talks about how when y’all hear my voice, just know that you’re hearing my love for you. If you listen, it’s there.  My art is a collection of juicy love letters! I look forward to writing more.  I would love to write big songs for movie & pop projects.  I plan to play more shows and enjoy rocking out with other bands and concert-goers. I also have a really cool 45 rpm vinyl single with 2 songs that is just waiting on a release date.  It’s a beautiful double feature under the name Holland & Clark that Burlacticus Recording Co.  will be putting out.  We recorded a few other original songs, too, so expect an array of eclectic releases in the near future. Jump in! There will be much more!  Thanks for reading!  Say hi if you see me around!

Brian Jarvis, a New England native, is a prospering star on the rise. His voice is soothing, harmonious, and refreshing. Brian has toured all over New England over the last six years and he has no intention of slowing down. He has also worked closely alongside the legendary Howie Day, and other artists such as Andy Grammar (“Keep Your Head Up”) and Rachel Platten (“Fight Song”). This year Brian released his EP “Anyone at All” including five captivating songs which feature the iconic Rob Griffith from Bronze Radio Return. The songs on the EP are very enchanting and contemporary. Six months ago, Brian released his single “The Spark”, which happens to be my personal favourite of his. The tempo is tranquil, complimented with his charming and graceful voice that leaves me feeling complete. “It’s not just broken, it’s falling apart, it’s just missing the spark”. This can symbolize so many things, and it is up to the listener to apply the lyrics to their own life. “The spark” can refer to anything, whether it be a relationship, a new mindset, routine, etc., that can help create change to fix obstacle that life throws at you. The message in this song is that there is always a solution, you just need to find out what it is. The song is inspirational, encouraging, and uplifting, as is the majority of his work. Brian Jarvis is very talented and a great role model, so I recommend that you add him to your playlist for when you need that extra boost optimism! Listen to "The Spark" here and get to know more about Brian Jarvis below! Hi Brian! It's great to chat with you. When did your interest in music begin? Music comes from my late father. He would play his acoustic around the house and listen to Beatles records. I became fascinated at a young age with songwriting and the acoustic. Once I got the bug at 15 it was all consuming. What do you want listeners to get out of your song “The Spark”? Everyone has a passion in life. That passion may have been suppressed by exterior factors. Reconnect with whatever is that you love on the terms you met them at. What was the inspiration behind “The Spark”? For me this song was reconnecting with why I love writing songs and to block out the noise of the music industry. I had gotten off a long tour with another artist and just saw the lifestyle eating away at me. I had a good friend who I had known in the industry swindle me out of thousands of dollars and empty promises. I was defeated… The Spark was about needing to write music for the right reason. I wrote the song because I needed music and didn’t care if it was going to be a ‘hit’ tune. What are some of the biggest challenges that you face in the music industry? There are two things that are challenges. As an independent artist the ability to break through the crowd. There are so many talented writers, singers and artists with a platform and we are all fighting for this small space. o Also the fact that John Mayer hasn’t called me to open his next tour is a major challenge in my eyes  lol. Can we expect more music from you in 2019? Yes my entire EP launches on May 17, 2019 with two brand new songs. I will hit the road with Howie Day for a little bit and then start looking at recording a new single before the year is up. Connect with Brian Jarvis on social media www.twitter.com/bjarvismusic

Semaphore was created by Siddu Ananalingam between jazz saxophone transcriptions and chemical engineering problem sets and decided that the only way he could have time to explore his musical interests would be to combine his varied musical tastes. Semaphore draws inspiration from the musicality and social commentary of artists like Pink Floyd and Smashing Pumpkins and has a sound that is intricate, lush and hard to pin down to any one genre. A combination of the best parts of 90s grunge with floaty vocals, delayed guitar effects that are glued together with subtle jazz chord voicings and great productions, Anandalingam is currently joined by guitarist Jay Kohler, bassist Niko Hasapopoulos and drummer Emmet Ceglia. “Unreliable” is an upbeat yet down-to-earth track that has beautiful soft vocals, technical drum sections, and a wonderful blend of driving guitar riffs and defining bass lines. The song is the first track on Semaphores EP “Season” and starts off the album with a great look into the feel of the rest of the songs. The vocals are remnant of some early punk rock bands, and the style of “Unreliable” is definitely of various genres with hints of Rock, Jazz, and Indie just to name a few. The drum lines are extremely technical, filled with a variety of pieces from a drum kit and is one of my favourite parts of the track as it really gives the song a bit of intensity and combined with the natural or raw sounds of the other instruments makes for a beautiful mixture. The lyrics are relatable and each word is articulated beautifully while being filled with emotion and a passion that can be felt in your soul that is mixed with subtle harmonies. “Unreliable” is another natural sounding track that makes you feel like you are standing out in the middle of a busy city experiencing the sounds around you and the business of the streets. If you are looking for a track that will get your head bobbing, your heart beating, and has a phenomenal beat to it – “Unreliable” is the perfect song for you! Listen to "Unreliable" here and get to know more about Semaphore below! Hey Semaphore! Phenomenal chatting with you! Can you tell us a bit more about yourselves? Hey BuzzMusic! We're a post-shoegaze band from Brooklyn with a love of mathcore, post-hardcore, experimental, and 20th Century classical music. We combine all these influences to create our unique sound! What was the inspiration behind “Unreliable” and is there a deeper meaning behind the song? It deals with the central themes of our upcoming album: lack of trust in ourselves, our friends, and the city we live in. If all these things work harmoniously, they could bring us happiness, and yet they are so often the things that fail us and leave us dejected. What sets Semaphore apart from other artists? Other than our unique combination of influences, which allow us to play shows with a diverse range of bands, we also covered all of Miss Machine by The Dillinger Escape Plan last Halloween (the video is on youtube). How did you all meet and what made you decide to join forces and create music? I moved back to Brooklyn in mid-2016 and went about trying to find members for the band. At a 2016 Dillinger Escape Plan show, I recognized Emmett Ceglia while Emmett was crowdsurfing, and remembered him as a friend of a friend who was a fantastic drummer. After connecting with Emmett, he recommended Jay Kohler as a virtuosic mathcore guitarist/composer who brought sensitivity and musicality to all projects he was associated with. A couple of months later, Jay and I met Niko Hasapopoulos while waiting in line to hear Ben Weinman (from Dillinger) give a talk about the music industry. While Niko was just a college student at the time, his excitement and energy was infectious, and he soon signed on as Semaphore’s permanent bassist. What can we expect to see next from Semaphore in 2019? We're playing BLED Fest this year, and going on tour in June to the North East and Canada! In the Fall, we will be writing our second LP, which will be our first studio album!

Kaice was born in the city of Santiago de cali, Colombia. He got involved in music from the age of 10 years old, and learned how to play the piano as his early footing. Music has always been a part of his family, and his mother played the guitar, and took him to majority of his lessons. Kaice wrote his first song at the early age of 18 years old. What inspires him to write music is the situations of people’s daily life, which include love, broken heart, parties, breakups etc. also by listening to other music, in which involves different genres, and music from different countries. Although his main focus of music is reggaeton, he likes to focus on other styles which include, Hip-Hop/Trap, Dancehall, R&B, and more. This is what makes him different from every other artist, who wants to stand out in the music industry. Kaice released a BEAUTIFUL and riveting single titled “A Escondidas”, and although this wasn’t sung in English, you still felt a nice melodic vibe from the record. The melodies were listenable, ebullient, and transcendent! It was so nice to just follow alongside the soft texture to Kaice vocals, feeling serenaded. “A Escondidas” translates well across various of different listeners, in which includes the Spanish and English market! Kaice represents his culture and background in a trendy way while remaining digestible to those who aren’t familiar with the language. I will hands down blast this record on high volume in my car because It’s so absorbable. Kaice has a gorgeous voice in which is layered and feels almost limitless. He trade-marks a unique sense of artistry and it was pleasant to see and hear. “A Escondidas” is eclectic in its own way, completely moving the listener and turning us into fans of Kaice! Listen to “A Escondidas” here and get to know more about Kaice below! Coming From Colombia, is there a strong music scene there? in what ways has this influenced your artistry!? yes there is a huge Music scene in Colombia, there is a lot of famous people in the Latin music industry that are Colombian artist like Shakira, J Balbin, Maluma the list goes on, not only that the city where I’m originally from (Cali) is actually considered the capital of Salsa music, and Medellin is the new capital of Reggaeton (genre which my music focuses on). How this has had a influence in my artistry is that Colombians are very creative people you can see art everywhere wether is graffiti on the wall in a street to the art galleries, to people on the street singing with an instrument to earn some money to the local artist trying to make it big in the industry theres is a lot of creative culture in Colombia. Tell us about your record “A Escondidas” ! how would you describe the theme of this song for our readers? “A Escondidas” talks about a girl who still sees someone who she dated, but lies about it to the people she knows because she’s too proud to admit that she can’t get over that person. What inspired you to write this, Kaice? I wanted to write something that people can relate to, guys or girls. Something that actually has happened to a few of us, not to brag but it has happen to me, so I thought it would be a good topic to put in a song and I also theres a lot of songs out there that talk about a break up and their usually sad I wanted to change it up and instead of making it sad why not give it a little bit of a twist and talk about what happens after the break up. hehehe Were there any moments of doubt or challenges you’ve faced in the making of “A Escondidas” ? Actually yes. I purchased the beat from my producer Audixx and I could not come up with anything for the beat my mind was blank when I came up with the intro of the song I couldn’t come up with a hook I had to give it a rest for few months work on other tracks then go back to “A Escondidas” latter. After the song was recorded I had re record it because my voice notes were not going along with the beat notes so I had to get my other producer Mixgeniuz  to change the beat so it goes with my voice so there were some challenges but it didn’t drive me crazy it was a good experience. What’s next for you!? Right at the moment I’m focusing on releasing a few more singles I’m planing on releasing another single called "Tu Piel” a summer jam for the ladies lol, so I’m going to be making more singles and marketing them. I am thinking of making an EP by the end of this year but only time will tell, for the moment I’m just going to focus on singles.

TWENTYFOUR is a 20 Houston native artist who brings his experiences and emotions to life through his music. He is a skillful rapper who uses his experience in the game to deliver his dope bars that have meaning and substance. He fell in love with rap at the age of 12, being inspired by lyrical legends such as Mos Def and Jay Z. in the year of 2018, TWENTYFOUR decided it was time to release his first track to the public. “Fast Food” is a raw track that has meaning, soul, and truth to it. TWENTYFOUR raps “I gotta keep it candid, I’m a product of my own thoughts sell ideas for the low, tryna give the world something to hold and not let go, but this art can’t be bought”. There is so much meaning packed into that one verse that makes it a great representation of his ability to make a song catchy and authentic. In “Fast Food” TWENTYFOUR talks about the importance of being original and keeping it real for other people to follow in his footsteps. In the song he also talks about having a lasting career in the rap industry, with plans on growing and developing as an artist. With his song focusing on these ideologies, it makes him a great role model and artist to listen to for inspiration. Keep your eye out for TWENTYFOUR and his new releases! Listen to "Fast Food" here and get to know more about TWENTYFOUR below! What made you release your first track in 2018? I felt I wasn’t ready to make music even after writing for so long & didn’t know if rap was what I’m good at but then I realized it was & I was constantly getting better so my confidence grew and I started putting out music I really liked . What was your inspiration behind “Fast Food”? I was sitting on the concept for few years I wrote half of the song in 2016 I believe then kinda lost hope in it/got bored with it. But I just always felt like even with artists who make good music they’re easily disposable . Not too many people really care about good music. They’ll like an album then move on like it wasn’t just something that was amazing. But you see it even more with artists who just make “fast food” type music. They know they’re making something that’s gonna barely last but they’re fine with it. It’s fast food in the sense we know it’s not good for us and that it doesn’t really do anything for you , but we still take it in. It’s here today and gone tomorrow. What were your biggest challenges when writing “Fast Food” and how did you overcome them? Biggest challenge was writing the second half of the song cus I never really wrote anything that wasn’t just a straight rap flow so I was tryna step out my element & on that part I was kinda singing but still being true to what I know & what I am. How do you plan to continue to differentiate yourself from other rappers in the industry? I plan on telling my story , telling stories of the people who don’t have a voice while still putting concise & thought provoking lyrics but not giving up the ability to actually enjoying listening to the song. Just making sure it’s still sonically pleasing. And definitely never conforming or doing/saying things just because . Gotta stay true to me always. What can we expect from you for the rest of 2019? I’ll be dropping music more frequently throughout the entire 2019, shooting videos to these singles , getting in freestyles , cyphers etc. & hopefully if I have the fan base for it , I can drop a project around November/December.

Hey and welcome to BuzzMusic! Can you tell our readers about yourself? I’m an all around artist and love all genres of music. I first fell in love with music at a very young age with my grandmother playing Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire along with many others. Growing up in church also impacted me. Watching the band play and seeing the congregation dance, move and jump from the energy of the music influenced me to wanna create and make people feel the same way. “Sad Day” seems to have a super strong lyrical meaning behind it. What was the theme behind this song? Sad day is about the state of America and the horrible times we live in. Normalizing the day to day scandals and unseemly acts like they’re normal. I created Sad Day to try and bring awareness and wake everyone up from this cold zombie like mentality because if we continue down this desensitized walk of life I fear the worst for this nation. How has Bump Records impacted your career? Bump Records was so influential to my career. It helped me add depth and detail to my craft and also explore different avenues of artistry. It also helped me learn new skills like actual Producing. I used to play around with a program called cakewalk but I didn’t know what I was doing. I also discovered Sound engineering as well as who I am and what I wanted to Project to the world. Being around all the other amazing artists like Do dat , Los Rakas , ID, DJ Patrick , Rapstarz and so many others was like the Silicon Valley of underground rap hub. Without Bump Records Nahhdah wouldn’t exist. What would you like new fans and listeners to know about your music?

Tyrel Pool is a recording artist from Roseland , Louisiana. He’s 21 years old and began rapping at the early age of 11. He grew up on Kendrick, Jcole, Tupac, Joey Badass, and many more. He drew inspiration from everyday struggles, and his ambition to change it. With inspiring and different music, his main goal when writing is to ensure his listener takes something from it. Tyrel Pool released his single titled “Sacrifices” and it had a slapping beat we couldn’t help but love, but nothing prepared us for his fire delivery and flow that was a product of his musical influences. “Sacrifices” had an aggressive nature. Instead of a kickback and melodic type of record, he gave us a mainstream sounding hip-hop banger! The song is perfect for your car rides, local parties, or just a song to have on your playlist where you want to get attuned with the music and enjoy some good vibes. One element of this song that I highly respect however, would have to be Tyrel’s ability to songwrite. He gave a natural storytelling aura to the song that was extremely raw. Instead of fabricating some fake artist image, he doesn’t shy away from being who he is , and giving his story to the listener. There’s nothing I love more than a rapper who doesn’t put up a front, but instead gives their true persona through their music. Allowing their listener to become compelled by their personal story. Check out "Sacrifices" here. Read more in our interview with Tyrel below! Hi Tyrel! How has your background and upbringing, impact your music? Hey! My past and upbringing has impacted my music in a lot of ways. My mom always drilled values and how important it was to be a man into me. There's some things I've been through growing up that matured me faster than others though. I tend to reflect a lot when writing music to capture the right story to give to the listener.  I believe everything that has happened, happened for a reason as well. I'm just grateful the most high gave me the ability to be able to speak about it. Tell us about “Sacrifices”, what does this song mean to you? I believe the song title speaks for itself ya know. Everyone has to make sacrifices to reach their higher self. I truly believe you can't reach that next level without it. I wrote "Sacrifices" with that in mind. I wanted to write it in a way to where I was telling my story, while also putting inspiration out into the universe. I knew if I felt this way then somebody chasing whatever dreams they have feel the same way too. What was the emotion you channeled while writing “Sacrifices” ? I honestly can't pinpoint a specific emotion because I went through them all but I do remember hearing the beat and it instantly caught my attention. In the beginning I had wrote a completely different concept to it. I didn't like it at all, I tried to dismiss it but something kept pulling me towards the beat. So, I meditated and I had to put myself back in those positions to feel again. Once I allowed myself to do that, it's like everything started flowing effortlessly. What would you like your new fans to know about you? I would like them to know that I'm human. I mess up just like the average person ya know. Some of the same thoughts and worries they have, I have as well. Where I'm from it's really nothing and growing up in it can turn treacherous depending on who you let around you. I just want to be that light for my brothers. I have individuals that look up to me as well, so I really have to watch what I do because I don't want to lead them wrong. What’s next for you Tyrel? The next thing is to just stay the course. We tend to slow down when we start to see accomplishments and begin to get a little notoriety. I'm still at square one so I'm still going through trial and error with pursuing this dream. In the end though you should see me some where on the big screen.
