PxRRY strives to break barriers within his music and stand out as a new era r&b/hip-hop melodic superstar. The singer-songwriter recently released his 5-track EP, 'Enough Said,' in August, which left his audience rushing to his streaming platforms and hitting repeat since its release. We've decided to highlight the EP's lush outro track, "Grown," as it's a perfect example of the passionate r&b that PxRRY's sound delivers. Not to mention his authentic emotion and passionate performance, PxRRY truly makes this track unforgettable. Hitting play on "Grown," the song opens with a filtered and haunting beat that slowly drops into a downtempo drum arrangement and PxRRY's sole vocals. As he begins to express the emotional turmoil of a back-and-forth relationship, he continues to remind his lover that they're all grown up and should be avoiding messy situations like this. We're more than impressed with PxRRY's soothing vocal stylings that tell an incredibly relatable and tumultuous story. We must also mention the sonic depth and density of the song's production, as the booming bass hits perfectly amplify PxRRY's tender emotions when experiencing confusing love. As he leads us to the song's end, PxRRY sends chills down our spines while closing the track on a passionate note. Lose yourself in the dreamy stylings of PxRRY and his latest hit, "Grown," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic PxRRy. We're totally enthralled with the outcome of your recent emotional hit, "Grown." What inspired you to create this piece in particular? This was the last song I recorded on the EP and really just happened randomly. Me and my boy, thatshymn, were in the studio working on another record. One of the producers, Kofi was in the session just chilling. Then he played this beat. We wrote and cut it that night. It just felt like the perfect way to tie in some grown and sexy vibes for the ladies. Everybody can relate to this record, we have grown, so stop playing. Was it challenging to write such emotional words for "Grown?" Or did you find it easy to convey your emotions about a confusing relationship? When you really listen to the lyrics it’s emotional for sure but simple. I rather spend time making up than arguing and a lot of people, especially the fellas would agree. Through my music, I say what people are thinking and just make it sound good. What can you tell us about your latest EP "Enough Said?' I named the project 'Enough Said,' because I’m no longer talking about what I want to do, I’m just going to do it. Music has been my life and I’ve been holding records for a minute! From here on out, I’m letting the people have the music. There will be a lot more releases, a lot more visuals, more collaborations, and features. I’m excited to work and that’s all that needs to be said. Why did you choose to place "Grown" as the outro track of your recent EP 'Enough Said?' How does this song close the project and bring it home? "Grown" is the outro because it’s preparing the listener for the direction I’m headed in next. My next project and single is already done and ready to go. Also, placing the song last lets me know who listened to the EP fully. If you make it to “Grown” then you got a chance to enjoy “Got 2”, “Doing it” “Outside” and “Misbehaving." Giving just 5 songs makes it digestible and “Grown” is definitely a sweet way to wrap it up.

Allison Asarch has always possessed a musical thumb, and she would display it at a young age by performing at her grandparent's annual Christmas talent show. Fast forward and today, Allison Asarch is determined to share her impressionable, uplifting, and transpiring sound with the masses. Allison Asarch just released her bubbly single, titled "Neon Nobody." The song encompasses her experience moving to Nashville and realizing her social stance. Nevertheless, Allison Asarch isn't one to give up on obtaining the dream, as she packs fruitful and fun-loving lyricism into "Neon Nobody" that can encourage listeners to stay loyal to themselves. That is the main message of the song: to remain true to yourself, not compromise any elements of one's soul, and to have patience when it comes to reaching for your goals. On the lyric side, Allison Asarch demonstrated that she's an impactful thinker. Production-wise, "Neon Nobody" begins with a slow, instrumental introduction that quickly leads to the delivery of Allison Asarch's vocal array. She contains a pure and sweet-sounding country tone that is polished beyond compare. With a youthful sounding voice, Allison Asarch can pack in a ton of cheerful, affecting, and candid emotions, which works to naturally draw listening ears in. Overall, "Neon Nobody" was a positive outlook on the hardships that Allison Asarch is currently enduring, and it was a bright musical offering from the emerging artist. Welcome to BuzzMusic Allison Asarch, and congratulations on your single release, Allison Asarch. Considering your progression as a music artist, how does it feel to have this song released to your listeners? Thank you so much!! I am so excited “Neon Nobody” is out in the world because I think it is a really great song for all the dreamers like me trying to make it in this industry! It truly feels amazing to have a song that I think many other artists can relate to, and manifest this mindset when they listen to this tune. Were there any components to "Neon Nobody" that you felt allowed yourself as an artist to stand out? I truly put myself into this song. Meaning, I truly packed my Cherokee I got from my grandparents as a graduation gift. I did not have a car until then, so I was so excited to finally be able to not rely on anyone else to get from place to place! I also would sing the national anthem at my high school football games most Friday nights. When writing this song with Ericca Latza and Andi Renfree, we really thought about each of our journeys and were able to piece them into this song. What kind of approach would you say you take on when writing and recording your songs? With these songs I've released specifically, I knew the end goal was to make an album. I wanted to create a catalog of songs that I was proud of and excited to release as my introduction to the music scene. Andi Renfree helped me find the perfect co-writers to make this dream a reality. We solely worked with these writers to make songs I wanted to see on the album. Covid was an interesting time for us to do this as well. We had Zoom writes and in-person writes. When recording the songs with Ren Renfree, we really found my voice over time. I was so fortunate enough to work with Andi and Ren in the studio because I was able to really think about my music and practice not just in the studio but at home as well. I never felt pressured about if it sounded bad or about time spent in the studio recording. I was able to relax and really enjoy the process! Andi helped me think about how I wanted to portray songs through my singing to get my point across to the listener, and Ren helped me tune in on making the track unique to me. Overall an amazing process for a first-time album recording process. What an experience winning Netflix Original's Sing On! must have been. How does the natural progression of being on the show to now having various single releases out feel? I am so fortunate for Sing On! That experience was truly once in a lifetime. I wouldn't have been able to finish the album, create fantastic music videos, and participate in fun photoshoots. I think the show definitely boosted my confidence and helped me see that I can truly make this dream a reality. I feel super excited for the future and what this next year will bring musically. I am starting to play out more around Nashville and really hone in on one of my biggest passions, performing. I still keep in touch with my castmates, and we all agree it was just such a fun experience. Instagram Facebook

Codi Dillon strives to bring out the "freaks" of society and encourages them to express themselves unapologetically.

As the spicy drums pound their way through, Codi Dillon continues to drench us in their powerful and charismatic bars while bouncing to the punchy and crisp sonic background.

We adore Codi Dillon's unique vocal portrayal, as his slight autotune and breathy delivery amplifies the hot and heavy atmosphere. As Codi Dillon makes his way around the hook one last time, the song ends on this heated and exciting note. Lose yourself in the delicious vibe of Codi Dillon's latest single, "Killer BabyDoll," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Codi Dillon. We're head over heels for the authentic and exciting experience you've offered with your latest single, "Killer BabyDoll." What inspired you to write this empowering and sultry tune? I began to write this song when I heard the beat earlier this Spring of 2021. I was in a very interesting position in my life and in my career. I just released my debut album a few months prior to when I began writing [Killer Baby Doll]. I knew my next release had to be a strong and career-defining statement. The sound was something new, that my listeners weren't used to. This year I have been really inspired by hyper and alt-pop sound influences, that I want to write to that kind of preface. This beat itself is very dominant and goes hard, so I wanted the emotion to reflect that. One night I sat in my bed and was just listening to the beat, and I just started writing about what I was feeling at the time, which was this feeling of anger towards society and people around me who did not understand me owning my feminity. I was always afraid of being associated with the term, "Fem," because I didn't want how I present myself as an artist and how I express myself visually to be the only point of view. I as a human offer more layers and go beyond just labels, so I took back my power of owning my identity and showcasing the strength of the thing I was most insecure of. Now, I embrace my feminine qualities as well as my masculine qualities, because I'm not one-dimensional. I hope other young LGBTQ+ listeners feel empowered by the song and know that it is okay to explore and own who you are. Did you team up with any producers for "Killer Baby Doll?" What vibe and feel did you want the sonics to offer? For this record, I did not team up with any producer organically. I found Vicii, who is a producer that made the beat and was sent to me. I didn't anticipate creating a whole concept around the track, for my only intention was to create something fun to put out. However, this single is fun to listen to and to make, it has a lot more soul and authenticity of who I am. I knew coming into 2021, I wanted to elevate my sound, and I feel this single is a taste of what's to come. I was open to the idea of experimenting with sounds, and I heard this Hip -Hop influenced beat and fell in love instantly. It had attitude and sass that I knew I could make my own, and really cater to the story I was trying to tell lyrically. How do your lyrics and bars in "Killer Baby Doll" help us get to know you better? What should we take away from your lyrical content? This song lyrically, alongside the rest of my work, is very genuine and filled with raw emotion. I always write from a venerable place because music is my only outlet to describe these feelings I have. You get to see a side of me I never really talk about. I dissect who I am based on image, I take the names and labels I've been associated with and play into them now as if I have the power to hold that title or not. I'm being 100% transparent and honest with who I am and owning my image and sexuality. What I hope you can take away from this song's lyrical content, is that you now know who I am and what I am about. With what I'm trying to say, who I'm singing to, and where I'm going with my music. My main purpose as an artist is to inspire and influence those like me who have felt these things. Could you tell us more about your overall artistic brand? How does your music bring out the "freaks" of society, and how does your brand represent unapologetic self-expression? My brand is to bring awareness and represent my queer youth and LGBTQ+ community through music. I want to create a space that is safe, loving, and welcoming to anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong or fit in with society, because of how they may identify or express themselves. My whole life I've fought to be taken seriously and have always stood my ground of identity and self-expression which caused me to receive lots of rejection from people around me because they couldn't understand. I hope to create and make music that inspires and speaks to the so-called "freaks," of the world to emerge and blossom into their true authentic selves and to not be afraid of the nay Sayers and people with one-sided views of who a person should be or act. I feel by my image and my loud and gaudy fashion taste, as well as my electro-dance pop-influenced music taste, that it's okay to break rules, boundaries, and limits because we only get so long on this earth, so why not live as many lives, live through as many journey's and experiences as we can, and do it unapologetically. What's next for you? After the release of "Killer Baby Doll," I have plans to go straight back into the studio with producer Chase Coy, to cook up the next banger to release later this year. While I have no visual intended for "Killer Baby Doll," I do plan to create some exclusive merch to release in the months to come for the single. I have so many fresh idea's and I can't wait to share them with the world. I did film a pilot TV show for an upcoming series called "Sync It," which could hit streaming services in 2022, so look out for that. In the meantime you can follow my socials and Spotify and enjoy the album I released last fall and the amazing visuals that go along with the experience of the album. Instagram Artist Website

Hailing from New York City, singer-songwriter and recording artist Callie Carlucci releases a spirited and passionate ballad with her latest single, "Masterpiece." Growing up listening to the likes of Green Day, R.E.M., U2, and Natalie Merchant led Carlucci to broaden her horizons as a teen with help from Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift. With her blossoming music career, Callie Carlucci strives to collaborate with many artists, especially like-minded women in the independent music scene. Now releasing her latest heartfelt and romantic single, "Masterpiece," listeners can catch Callie Carlucci designing her future with someone special by her side. The song is the fourth track on her recent EP, 'Beneath The Surface,' where Callie Carlucci mentioned that "every song has a different personality, but they're all sisters." Jumping into the lead single, "Masterpiece," the song gently begins with a warm and cinematic introduction through a bright string section, fluttery piano melodies, and placid midtempo drum breaks. As Callie Carlucci starts to vocalize her passion for someone special, she later expands on feeling at home with them wherever they land. As she blasts off into the cinematic hook, Callie Carlucci exclaims her joy for spending the rest of her days with a lover who makes her world go round. She proceeds to expand on scenes of them growing old and loving each other until death does them part. The song offers many chilling fairytale elements similar to a 'Speak Now' Taylor Swift, especially as Callie Carlucci references being the king and the queen of their kingdom and making a masterpiece with their otherworldly love. Witness the "Masterpiece" that is Callie Carlucci's latest heartfelt single, and catch her latest EP 'Beneath The Surface' on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to Buzz Music Callie Carlucci. We love the powerful and deeply passionate approach you've taken with your latest single, "Masterpiece." What inspired you to write such a heartfelt and romantic ballad like this? I saw a TedTalk called “A Better Way to Talk About Love.” The speaker, Mandy Len Catron, talks about how our metaphors for love influence our behavior when it comes to love. The metaphor “falling in love,” indicates that love is uncontrollable and therefore leads to madness and suffering. Obviously, that isn't healthy. Catron then proposed a different metaphor of “stepping into love.” It is a choice. She also talked about love as a collaboration. I loved that. Love is a collaboration, and your relationship is your ‘masterpiece.” I then wrote the chorus on a plane. Months later, I was able to finish the song. Did you have any artistic influence in mind when creating the single "Masterpiece?" I wanted “Masterpiece” to have a sonically grand and cinematic sound, to contrast and lift the lyrics that describe mundane life. I wanted the song to show that everything can be romantic even if it is boring. I also wanted to write a healthy love song. There are so many songs that say “I can’t live without you,” or “I am incomplete.” I’m so tired of those songs. No person is incomplete. A person is capable of living on their own. When it comes to love and relationships, we have a choice. What makes a love work is when two people choose each other. That is what this song is to me. Lyrically, I think this song sounds a lot like Taylor Swift to me. It’s as if “Love Story” was on Lover. Who helped you navigate the production and instrumental process for "Masterpiece?" What atmosphere or vibe did you want the instrumentals to offer? I went for the most cinematic, romantic vibes possible. Two songs that were my inspiration for the production were “King of My Heart” by Taylor Swift and “Great One” by Jessie Reyes. Both songs are grand and cinematic in very different ways, but both captured what I wanted the song to convey. I sent these songs along with a few others to my producer. He sent me back a track, and I listened to it for the first time, and it was perfect. The dynamics, the strings, the percussion, it all worked for me. How does "Masterpiece" fit into the overall EP 'Beneath The Surface?' How does it tie into the EP's concept and theme? “Masterpiece” is a unique song for me. I don’t write any happy songs. Songwriting is, of course, a form of therapy. It allows me to access and process my life experiences. The experiences that need the most process are the difficult ones. “Masterpiece” is not inspired by life experience, but I had to include it in this EP. ‘Beneath the Surface’ showcases me as an artist, a songwriter, and a person. “Masterpiece” showcases the songwriter. What's next for you? That is a great question. My life is quite unpredictable right now. As is the state of the world. I hope to create more content for ‘Beneath the Surface.’ Perhaps a music video. I’m writing and brainstorming my next project. I’ve also made many friends in independent music on TikTok and Instagram. I hope to collaborate with some of them in the future. Instagram Facebook

We love the passion and honesty you've brought to your recent single, "ME & U." What inspired you to create this emotional and personal piece? Being in a relationship you have your ups and downs. I wanted to write a song about wanting to be with someone no matter what position or circumstance we may be in. Did you create the entire production for "ME & U" yourself? What was your solo creative process like when formulating and navigating the song's sonic vibe? Yes, I wrote, produced, and engineered ME & U by myself. I remember when I first make the beat, it was just another day in the studio and I was wanting something new from myself. I wanted something everyone could relate to and grab onto. First I started with the melody, then I added the drums. I haven’t even started arranging the beat and I already started hearing lyrics in my head. I wrote and recorded the hook down and I actually left the song for about 2 weeks before I came back to it. I just felt like everything about this song was different so I didn’t want to force anything at the moment. I wanted some time to reflect and think of alternate ways the song could go before I returned to complete the verse and arrangements. Once I returned I freestyled the verse and wrote a bridge. Before it was completely done to my liking I rearranged the song about 4 times before I was satisfied. During your songwriting process for "ME & U," did you face any personal challenges when writing such intimate and vulnerable lyrics? Or was it easy for you to transmute your emotions into lyrics? It's easy for me when I make beats that just strike a chord in me. I find the best songs almost just write themselves. When I'm in the studio I really don't like forcing things. If something is not working and it takes me too long to figure it out. I move on- I move on to something else or start something new. I like to find that special feeling or vibe and hold onto it through the whole process. Once I lose that feeling or it’s not there I know it's not worth my time to continue. Could you tell us more about your artistic brand and what you strive to represent? What should your audience associate you and your music with? I don’t want to be put in a box artistically, I want my fans to know I’m here to push boundaries. Being a music producer, songwriter, and engineer I know I’m capable of so much more. When I’m in the studio I love chasing that feeling. If I like the feeling I’m going to rock with it till the very end. Kinda like a relationship lol. I really look up to Pharell Williams, Travis Scott, Dr. Dre, and Kanye West. All 4 of them being artists/Producers. I want to represent all the native and black youth on the rez and in the ghettos. I grew up in low-income housing and on the reservation in British Columbia, Canada. I want the next generation to know anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself and work hard. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS! No matter how big or small. What's next for you? I’m back to work, I have so much new music to be heard and I can’t wait to release it all. I’ve been working on some visuals that are going to be crazy so you can stay tuned for that. I’m currently in school for Music Production, Recording & Business and I’ll be graduating this December from the Nimbus School of Recording & Media. As for my plans moving forward. You're just going to have to wait because I’m taking over. I can’t let you know too much... Instagram

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, recording artist, and contortionist Lyra Star returns to sprinkle magic and darkness into our days with her latest music video for "The Loneliest Nights." Star is a self-trained contortionist and uses her imagination to merge her music career with fluid body movement. Her ethereal vocals and profound lyrics are enough to swoon any listener, but her visuals offer a whole other intriguing aspect that's impossible to ignore. Recently releasing her music video for "The Loneliest Nights," we were honored to feature the single in a previous release, where we mentioned the song's cinematic and soul-clutching appeal. The music video takes listeners through a similar visual venture, as Star can be seen bending over backward (literally) and physically depicting the depths of what isolation can entail. Directed by Tonya Kay with Cinematography by Andria Chamberlin, the music video for "The Loneliest Nights" opens with close-up body shots of Lyra Star while cutting to graceful scenes of her emotional and fluid body movements. As she begins to serenade us with her incredibly emotional and mesmerizing vocals, Star proceeds to stare into a mirror while turning around, only for the mirror-self to stay put. This mirror scene is a focal point of this music video, as it emphasizes how we were forced to stay isolated and reacquaint with dark and emotional parts of ourselves that we didn't know existed. As she continues to gracefully move her body and wow us with her fluid and captivating contortion, the video ends on a profoundly reflective and emotional note. Catch Lyra Star in her captivating and emotional music video for "The Loneliest Nights," now available on YouTube. A warm welcome back to BuzzMusic, Lyra. We love the emotion and power you've placed into your music video for "The Loneliest Nights." How does this music video share the intensities that isolation can cause? I think this video shows the intensity of isolation visually with the use of a very minimalistic background/black and white theme as well as through some of the more frantic movements combined with the contortion shapes. How did director Tonya Kay help bring your ideas to life for the music video, "The Loneliest Nights?" Did you come up with the video's scenes, or was this a shared process? I had a general vision for the vibe of the video and where I wanted to shoot as far as the location and having the black background, white background, and the mirror. She is the one that came up with the specific scene ideas though... it was her idea to have me kind of crawling around and shaking my hair out and being a bit more frantic with some of my movements rather than graceful. It was definitely slightly out of my comfort zone, but she is a very talented director and visionary. I trust her completely and really loved all of her ideas... I think the video manages to capture the essence of the song in a beautiful and unique way. She also had me sing while doing contortion, which makes it all that much more interesting, unique, and special to the viewer. Do you usually work with cinematographer Andria Chamberlin for your music videos? What was your experience with Andria on set for "The Loneliest Nights?" This is my third release with both Andria and Tonya... Andria is a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly calm, chill, and collected, which is so helpful onset because sometimes shoot days can be stressful. Tonya and Andria work really well together, and Andria is so talented at taking shots from different angles... she really knows her stuff when it comes to the technical side of things as well, including knowledge about the lighting necessary to create the right vibe for each scene. What experience did you want to offer viewers witnessing your music video for "The Loneliest Nights?" During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time doing my contortion training... movement was a big part of my time in isolation. I also spent a lot of time self-reflecting, meditating, and having moments of panic and frustration as well just from being alone all the time. I want viewers to experience my expression of what loneliness and isolation can cause within the body and the mind... through the art of movement. I think that the video is haunting, mesmerizing, and beautiful... I honestly want people to have the desire to watch it more than once because there is a lot going on as far as themes, movements, and emotions. How do you manage to find new and engaging ways to place your fluid body movements into your music videos? How do you tell a song's individual story through contortion? As I said in the first question, this video combines some more frantic and almost tribal movements in addition to the more graceful and controlled contortion shapes that I normally do. This song is about the loneliness and isolation that we were all experiencing during the height of the pandemic. Though we all experienced it in different ways, I think a common thread was having moments of uncertainty and fear as well as moments of reflection that allowed each of us to go deeper within and recognize what we truly desire. Some of us were also perhaps faced with parts of ourselves that we don't like so much, but the time in isolation gave us an opportunity to make changes. It was an experience like no other, and this video is meant to be one interpretation of this universal experience through the art of movement and music. Instagram Facebook

From Los Angeles, California, singer-songwriter, and recording artist Miles Jayne releases his lush and dynamic 8-track debut EP entitled 'Sierra Bonita.' For Miles Jayne, music is more than self-expression but a universal language of creativity, hope, and the overall sensation of feeling a part of something greater. The Laurel Canyon-born artist recently teamed up with close friend Ian Guerra to create his 8-track debut EP, 'Sierra Bonita.' Diving into the EP by way of the introductory track, "Something's wrong," the song opens with a serene electric guitar melody that gives the song this introspective and heartfelt edge right off the bat. As Miles Jayne's lush and breathy vocals begin to sweep us off our feet, a plucky bassline appears alongside tight mid-tempo drum breaks that lead us to the hook. We adore the dynamic range of this track, as Miles Jayne jumps into the hook while belting his vocals and explaining how he wishes to rekindle a once-lit flame. Moving forward with the next track, "FIVE," this song opens on a more eerie and haunting note with an array of ghost vocals that set the song's reflective and introspective tone. As the mid-tempo drums lead the song's heavy foundation, a sweet keyboard melody, and a bright electric guitar take the high end and lead us to the savory hook. Listening to Miles Jayne's lyricism, he soothingly opens his heart and takes us to the peaceful outro while singing of being five shots down and watching his ego and past lover fade away like the sun in the evening sky. Landing on the EP's lead single, "Dream Killer," this track opens with a plucky and pulsating acoustic guitar and Miles Jayne's filtered vocals. Now is a better time than ever to mention how Miles Jayne's lush, airy, and melodic vocals remind us of acts like Dallas Green, Chet Faker, and Mark Derek Foster through his charismatic delivery, overall tonality, and vocal passion. We adore the brightness of this single, as it leaves us feeling as lifted as ever with Miles Jayne's sooting vocal portrayal and his stimulating instrumental atmosphere. As Miles Jayne moves towards the outro, his fluid background vocals perfectly close the song on this note of contentment and peace. Reaching the project's halfway point with "o m w (feat. Dento)," this song opens with a heavy psychedelic synth arrangement that drops into a sole and plucky bassline. As the entire instrumental begins to pierce through our speakers with this sensual and sultry tone, Miles Jayne makes his powerful vocal appearance while asking someone why they've been so distant lately. As he takes us to the hook, Miles Jayne belts his passionate lyricism while letting us into the love and devotion he holds for someone special and encourages us not to waste time beating around the bush. Sweetening our speakers with the next track, "48," Miles Jayne opens the song with a saddened electric guitar melody and his warm vocal harmonies that sing of being in the palm of someone's hand and losing his energy in the process of loving them. As Miles Jayne takes us through the lush and dreamy hook, his sweet vocals are enough to send us into a daydream, but his surrounding hazy and intricate instrumentals perfectly back him up while leaving us feeling as refreshed as ever. We feel that anyone who's experienced heartbreak and unhealthy relationships will deeply cherish this track, as its instrumentation and Jayne's relatable lyrics are enough to transcend the soul. Onto a more relaxed and organic piece with "Z's song," Miles Jayne opens the song with a soothing acoustic guitar performance that later expands with incredible layering to make for this harmonic and soulful listening experience. Although this song is instrumental, it offers enough emotion and heart to bring listeners into a deeper and more thoughtful state of mind. It's also a rather dynamic instrumental; even though it consists of the same acoustic guitar, the song's overall layering and sonic blend make for a chilling and stunning listening experience. Sonically serenading us once again with the next piece, "Dulce<3," this song opens with a bright and beaming acoustic guitar and Jayne's smooth and delicate vocal stylings that sing wildly passionate lyrics. We adore the softness of this modern-day ballad, as it leaves us with a warm feeling inside with help from Jayne's soothing performance and his accompanying acoustic guitar that picks away at our hearts. We love how quickly Jayne can up the song's intensity merely through his vocal harmonies, as he powerfully reminds someone how long he's waited to be by their side. Reaching the song's outro track with "A talk with Dento," this song is more of an outro interlude, as it opens with a conversation between Jayne and artist Dento, who speak of a special 'feeling' that music gives them while hoping to provide that same sensation to new listeners. While soothing and gentle instrumentation seeps through our speakers from the background, Miles Jayne and Dento continue their heartfelt conversation surrounding their endless love for music and creating songs that strike an emotional and relatable chord in any listener. The track closes with Dento encouraging Jayne to release the EP, as it's a chapter of his life and artistry that must be shared with the world. We were honestly taken aback after experiencing the entire 'Sierra Bonita' EP, as Miles Jayne and co-creator Dento left us with a bounty of emotion and introspection that marks a new chapter in not only Jayne's life but our own lives as well. Find the 'Sierra Bonita' EP on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Miles. What a beautiful and dynamic listening experience you've provided with your debut 8-track EP, 'Sierra Bonita.' What inspired the creation of this project? What moment or experience led you to create this EP? Thank you! As with most of us, COVID was a really challenging time and for me personally, I ended a long-term relationship with someone I deeply cared for and was left with a giant hole in my heart. There were so many things unsaid, so many memories dissolved and that’s where making music comes in for me; being able to communicate an unspoken truth. This EP is laced with tears of joy, sadness, and every emotion in between. How long was 'Sierra Bonita' in the making? How long did it take for you to create, tweak, and finalize the EP? It started with writing and recording my single Dream Killer in September of 2020 and then suddenly all of these songs just started pouring out of me and before I knew it I had enough material for an EP. How long did it take? HA! I swear I was planning on releasing it in December 2020 but because of my neuroses, I kept tweaking the mixes and arrangement and finally finished the EP in March of 2021 and released it on June 30th, 2021. What was it like working with Danto on a few songs within 'Sierra Bonita?’ How did he keep you motivated and inspired throughout your collaboration? Ian aka “Danto” is my soul brother, I’ve been blessed to know him for over 14 years and this EP would not be what it is without his unwavering support and collaboration. Throughout the making of Sierra Bonita, he’d show up to my studio and just hang out in my room, smoking his vape, drink in hand, and throwing out these genius lyrical, melodic, and arrangement ideas. I’d sit there for hours writing guitar and bass lines, exploring different arrangements and whenever I’d hear him start vocalizing and dancing with his arms flailing in the air I knew I was on the right track with a song. After listening to the same vocal melody for 7 hours tweaking every aspect, I was ready to smash my computer and jump out of my window but it was Ian’s constant reassurance to keep going and that we were making something special that kept me on the path to completion. Do you have a favorite song off the 'Sierra Bonita' EP? Could you elaborate on why this particular song is your favorite? Honestly, my favorite song changes constantly depending on my mood. I love the production of Dream Killer and FIVE and the deep heartache contained in Something’s wrong. The outro of 48 I think is some of my best work yet and Dulce is exactly as the title states just sweet and innocent and provides a cool contrast on the EP. o m w just hits hard in my opinion and I’m super proud of the verses and bass lines throughout. But to answer your question… No, I don’t have a favorite song. How does 'Sierra Bonita' make a new chapter in your life? What themes or ideas in this project represent your newfound path and route? Sierra Bonita was a pure expression of my transition from lost, frustrated, and alone to empowered, content, and feeling more connected to myself than ever before. When I started making this EP I was so scared to be with myself due to fear of what I might find and I had avoided that feeling of loneliness my entire life. What I later discovered was that the feeling I was avoiding for so long was actually my greatest gift. This is just the beginning!!! I’ve got SO much more music and gifts to share with the world! I LOVE MY LIFE! Instagram Facebook

Las Vegas-based singer-songwriter, recording artist, and entrepreneur Megan Wallace releases her sweet and lighthearted sophomore single, "2 of Us." With help from her partnership with artist development team Thomas Barsoe of OC Hit and Dani Thompson of DNT Entertainment, Megan Wallace was able to co-found her independent label alongside father Robert Wallace to create MW Entertainment. Wallace is passionate about leading with kindness, and her bright tunes are a perfect example. Now releasing her passionate and upbeat single, "2 of Us," Megan Wallace wanted the song to exude positive energy while leaving listeners daydreaming about a summer romance. Produced by Robbie Dean of OC Hit, the beaming pop sonics offer a catchy and familiar vibe equally as irresistible as it is uplifting. Beginning our venture into "2 of Us," the track kicks off with a reverbed and lush electric guitar alongside fluttery background synths and the anticipated drum breaks. As Megan Wallace begins to serenade us with her soothing and melodic vocals, she jumps into the pre-hook while explaining how she'll never get enough of someone and their magnetic ways. We love the bright and anthemic hook, as Megan Wallace belts her vocals with slight autotune to make for a modern and engaging listening experience. We can't get enough of Megan Wallace's passionate lyrics, as she uses her alluring vocal stylings to depict incredibly romantic scenes that leave us in need of a refreshing wave of new love.

Get your dose of Megan Wallace through her fresh and lively single, "2 of Us," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We LOVE your new single, "2 of Us!" Can you tell us more about this song and why you wrote it? Megan Wallace: I wanted "2 of Us" to be a really fun, lighthearted song that anyone can relate to. I wanted the vibe of summer to be apparent in the song, and it was intended to make the listener think of that one special person! It's the perfect song to listen to with the top down on the way to the beach. What's your songwriting process like? Megan Wallace: What I love most about being a musician is the ability to create and help others. Normally, I figure out my concept and the idea of what I want the song to be about. I then connect it to emotion and think of any ways I can add clever symbolism or metaphors in it. I then determine what type of sound I want that will correlate with the emotion and message. Once I figure that out, I will work with my team and we will lay some production down and it all starts to flow. I want people to be able to hear my music and feel good, relate, and most importantly feel the magic...because that is what music is essential, MAGIC! How did you first get into singing? Megan Wallace: I have been singing as long as I can remember. Watching the Broadway play "Phantom of the Opera" is what inspired me to start music. I was so taken back by the beautiful costumes, storyline, and vocals that I fell in love with it. Even so much as when I was very little, if my parents asked me a question, I would answer back in my best opera voice since all I wanted to be was like Christine. Growing up in Las Vegas, did you have a lot of performance opportunities? Megan Wallace: Yes! I perform around the Las Vegas Strip regularly. I have performed at the Palazzo Theater, House of Blues main music hall, Treasure Island, The Plaza, Lake Las Vegas, Margaritaville, and many more venues. On average these venues have anywhere from 300-1500 people. Wow, Those are incredible venues! Where else would you want to perform? Megan Wallace: I would love to perform at Wembley Stadium because so many incredible music legends that I look up to have performed there! It would be ethereal to do the same. I would also love to perform at Rockefeller Center, the Alex Theater, and the Arena stage for sure! You recently performed at New Orleans House of Blues. What was that experience like? Megan Wallace: The performance was actually the night before hurricane Ida hit. It will always be one of my most memorable performances. The emcee even commented, "There's nothing like a pre-hurricane performance!", which is so true. The venue had such a buzzing vibe and we all felt like we were in it together so why not just enjoy the moment. It was kind of ironic because it reminded me of the band on the Titanic and how they kept entertaining and having fun, despite their looming doom. I wish to be able to convey this vibe and sense of family in my music. Because I experienced Hurricane Ida firsthand, I was able to see how detrimental these storms are to people and their cities. Now, I want to support the World Central Kitchen. They are a group of chefs that respond during natural disasters/war and provide food and help to the people who need it. That's so great that you're putting your energy into helping others. Is this something that has been a part of your life? Megan Wallace: I am a student ambassador for a non-profit arts organization called Positively Arts. My values are to always be kind despite the circumstances and to always find the good in every situation. If you could collaborate with anyone, who would it be? Megan Wallace: I would love to collaboratte with Dua Lipa. Her voice is so unique, and I love how all her songs are so happy and truly hits. She brings great energy and emotion to anyone who listens to her and it would be incredible to collaborate with her. It would also be incredible to collaborate with Madison Beer. Her artistry is so unique and I feel like our voices would fit together so perfectly. I love how she takes those creative jumps in her music. Instagram Artist Website

Hailing from Caguas, Puerto Rico, singer-songwriter and Latinx alt-pop artist Xavier Bernazard releases their conceptual and uplifting debut EP, 'Anastasis.' The non-binary recording artist was surrounded by Afro-Caribbean sounds as a child, as well as an intriguing fascination with the musical trends in the states. Influenced by names like My Chemical Romance, Paramore, The All American Rejects, Evanescence, Lady Gaga, Pink, and Adele, Xavier describes their music as "emotional and raw exploring themes of reflection, heartbreak, battles with depression, and general angst." Recently releasing their debut EP, 'Anastasis,' Bernazard mentioned that the project toys with the idea of "resurrection and reinventing yourself after being brought down by circumstances in life." The venture into the EP begins with the introductory track, "Pheonix," which opens with a wave of instrumentals that blend the sounds of alt-pop and cinematic contemporary. As Xavier Bernazard makes their warm and hearty vocal appearance, their powerful stylings instantly swoon our ears while singing of feeling ready to grow and broaden their horizons. We adore the contrast between the melancholy piano melodies and the crunchy electric guitars, as it sets the tone for the EP in a perfect and attention-commanding way. Not to mention Bernazard's conceptual and encouraging lyrical content; they leave us feeling excited to travel through the rest of the project. Landing on track number two, "Tenebris," the track kicks off with a gloomy electric guitar melody and Bernazard's sole vocal stylings. As they sadly sing of feeling trapped in the darkness of their mind, the song's instrumentals begin to expand with an upbeat drum arrangement, warm piano melodies, and a plucky bassline. Listening to Xavier Bernazard's conceptual lyrics, they touch on the trials and tribulations of a troubled relationship and sinking into the reminiscent sensations that come with parting ways with someone special. They proceed to jump into a heated rap while broadening the atmosphere to be incredibly powerful. Onto the project's midway point with "Sea Song (I'm Not Okay)," we graciously received the opportunity to feature this track in a recent publication. The song opens with a beautiful piano motif that paves the way for Xavier Bernazard's refreshing vocals. As they begin to serenade us, Bernazard starts to reflect on feeling an inner sense of pain while seeking every possible way to maintain motivation in order to keep going. This song has to be the most inspirational song on the EP, as Xavier Bernazard offers incredibly uplifting lyricism while summoning vast power alongside the striking punk-rock guitars. The next track, "Breaky My Own Heart," takes off with a somber and delicate electric guitar melody that brings us into a heartfelt and reflective atmosphere. As the soft downtempo drums begin to jump through our speakers alongside Xavier Bernazard's vocals, they begin to enlighten us on how they've dried their tears time and time again after breaking their own heart while attempting to place it in someone else's hands. About halfway through the song, we're met with a soulful keyboard melody and Xavier Bernazard's layered vocals that pour incredible energy and passion. We also appreciate the jazzy hints within this single, as it perfectly showcases Xavier Bernazard's sonic versatility. Reaching the EP's final and outro track, "Don't Runaway 9.3 Mix," the song begins with a soft keyboard melody and Xavier Bernazard's soulful vocal stylings. As they begin to dive into the song's lyrical concept, Bernazard delivers wildly inspirational words that encourage listeners to take a minute to ground themselves instead of running away from love in hopes of avoiding future heartbreak. We love the song's rock incorporation, as Xavier Bernazard drenches our speakers with incredible power through each in-depth and punchy instrumental that amplifies their motivational lyrical message.
