It's great to have you back with us at BuzzMusic Waterfront. We're only getting closer to the release of your forthcoming EP, 'New Heights.' How does your recent single, "Wedding At My Funeral," prepare us for the overall EP? Being the last single from our EP, Wedding at My Funeral dives into the heart of our small concept which is the idea of growing and developing into some kind of metaphorical new height. Wedding at My Funeral addresses this ideal much like our overall pursuit to craft this project into something we can be proud of forever. This song is about taking a hold of your mental health and the daunting commitments that entails. Something like therapy, for example, can be a huge benefit in the long run. However, a journey like that can be extremely hard and difficult at the time. Each week you're peeling yourself apart. Sometimes it's not the best experience but the silver lining and perspective you gain is the reward worth fighting for. Sometimes something needs to be put aside for something better to come together within yourself. What inspired the angsty and hard-hitting single, "Wedding At My Funeral?" Where did the song's inspiration and concept come from? The concept for Wedding at My Funeral began as a song originally titled Crying in the Corner. Once we dug into more of what we wanted the song to say, we realized which direction to further push it. This eventually introduced the oxymoronic lyrics and title of a wedding being held and your own funeral. Could you expand on your band's creative process when creating songs like "Wedding At My Funeral?" How do you divide the process amongst your members? Our process of writing songs comes in stages or phases. An idea will collectively be settled one which we will take to our producers to finesse out a fully realized vision for a song. We would then take this vision like a coloring book and have each member color in how they would like with their instruments. Once we’re in the studio setting, we all work together to further iron out what each part should retain and improve until the song is complete. We consider every small inclusion and we’ve learned so much from approaching writing like this in the recent year. What story did you want to tell with the music video for "Wedding At My Funeral?" How did you want to make the listener feel after experiencing these powerful and haunting visuals? We wanted to play off the face value of the song’s title for Wedding at My Funeral. To do so, we contacted churches in the Lethbridge area to film in. Southminster United Church in Lethbridge graciously agreed to lend us their building for a day and we were given free rein to use and incorporate a lot of their rich visuals to breathe live into our first real music video. Were you accompanied by a team on set for the music video, "Wedding At My Funeral?" What was your experience like shooting this thrilling video? We shot and edited this music video independently and we’re very thrilled with the outcome! We filmed each other and had our friend film the group shots. The entire process went smoothly thanks to a lot of pre-planning on our part. Instagram Facebook

We're more than pleased with the entire listening experience you've provided with your latest single, "Encore." What inspired you to create this genuine and emotional ballad? I’m so glad you enjoyed it! This ballad came together quite quickly as my co-writer, Chris Yurchuck had the idea for the hook, “Encore” and the rest of us writers jumped on board right away. The idea of always wanting “one more” of something inspired the first line and then the rest of the song fell into place. We wanted to capture the intimate and romantic feeling of a very specific moment in time - the moment when you are beginning to fall in love with someone and can’t help yourself! With that in mind, we kept the melody and lyrics simple, but powerful How did you manage to land a feature like Brett Kissel for your single, "Encore?” What does this collaboration mean to you? I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to share the stage with Brett Kissel in the past at a few shows and formed a friendship with him over the years. I was absolutely thrilled when I sent him the song and asked him to sing it with me and he responded quickly and enthusiastically with a YES! We had a blast working in the studio together and I am so grateful that an artist who I have looked up to for so long was willing to do this with me. What was your songwriting process like when writing such passionate and emotional lyrics for "Encore'? Did you face any personal challenges during this process? I was very fortunate to write this song with four of my good friends: Chris Yurchuck, Aaron Pollock, Devin Cooper, and Spencer Cheyne. We are all so comfortable with one another because we write together often, so songs tend to come together quickly because we have no hesitation about sharing ideas. I think being able to share your ideas without fear has a major impact on the quality of the song. We each brought our own unique gifts to the song and the end result was something that we were all excited about. Would you say that most of your songs offer this deeply introspective and emotional tone, similar to "Encore"? Do you often release such passionate and meaningful songs like this? I think songwriting is such a gift because it allows me to express myself at that exact moment in time. My songs vary from upbeat, fun, energetic tunes to more laid-back, romantic, and introspective. As a person, there are many sides to me, so I find that also comes out in my writing. I am happy to share different sides of me with fans through music and this song certainly shows a softer side of me than some of my other songs. What would you like new listeners to know about you and your music? My music is passionate, soulful, and a true representation of who I am. I use music to express myself and entertain others. I hope the music I’ve created resonates with fans and they can see a little bit of themselves in each song. ANNIKA Instagram Brett Kissel Instagram

Paving the way for up-and-coming hip-hop artists to follow, the likes of Dat Boy Supa and CasinoATX are far from the final chapters of their solo and collaborative careers. The Texas-based duo SupaSino recently teamed up with Willie B to create their rhythmic single and accompanying music video entitled "Sinner's Prayer." Thanks to their love and respect for the creative game, Dat Boy Supa and CasinoATX met on various occasions until teaming up with producer Chef Greezy who helped the two artists form SupaSino. Although both artists took a few breaks to focus on their personal lives, Dat Boy Supa and CasinoATX are back and better than ever with the release of their collaborative album, 'AfroFuturistic.' Leading the way of the project is the album's hit single, "Sinner's Prayer," along with an accompanying music video that showcases the artists' physical passion and energetic performances overtop of their meaningful and rhythmic bars. Not to mention the flaming feature of rapper Willie B, Dat Boy Supa, and CasinoATX are eager to take listeners under their wing and soar them through the realms of versatile hip-hop. Find Dat Boy Supa and CasinoATX's latest single, "Sinner's Prayer (feat. Willie B" on all digital streaming platforms, and take a listen to their album 'AfroFuturistic' while you're at it. Welcome to BuzzMusic Dat Boy Supa and CasinoATX. What inspired both of you to create this album? What themes or concepts do you present within the project? Dat Boy Supa: I think I was in a place where I was finally ready to create again. I heard some beats thought they were dope and linked up with Sino and started writing. I think the ease of having someone to bounce ideas off of really helped with the process. As for themes, pro-black pro-nerd, pro-education, pro-fun just being comfortable with yourself. CasinoATX: I had taken an almost 5-year break from doing music, so I had a lot to talk about. So many changes in the music industry had occurred, and being on the sidelines watching it all, gave me a lot of material to write and speak about. We talk about everything from Nerd stuff, our thoughts on the present state of Hip-Hop and the current trap atmosphere, to even theology. We really wanna make people think when they listen to this album. How long was the album 'AfroFuturistic' in the making? Dat Boy Supa: I think what about six months or so. How long did it take to write and record the entire project? Six months or so. Once we decide to create it we hit the ground running. Would've been faster but we recorded and wrote around our respective work schedules. CasinoATX: Pretty quickly all things considered. We picked out all of the beats in one night. Had all of the hooks and concepts completed within a week or two of that. The recording and mixing of course took the longest since we had to work around our schedules. but pretty fast. Speaking on the album's lead single, "Sinner's Prayer," how does the single fit into the album's concept or approach? Dat Boy Supa: Approach, I think it is a fun parody of life in the black church. And throughout the album, we shine a light on several things like this. CasinoATX: Sinner's prayer will let you know everything you need to know about what you're about to get yourself into with this album. It jams, but it is different! It's gonna make you pay attention to what we're saying, and you're either gonna love it or hate it, but you sure as hell won't forget it, LOL. We figured anyone that can keep riding with us after this song, will for sure love this album. Why did both of you want to bring Willie B on board for a feature on "Sinner's Prayer?" What was your collaborative experience between the three of you? Dat Boy Supa: Willie B is a great artist and we just felt like his voice and energy would bring a lot to the project. The collaborative effort was seamless in my opinion. These are my brothers so it was like working with family but more fun. CasinoATX: We've both known Willie for years, and I had worked with him on some previous collaborations. Willie has that perfect take 'em to church choir boy feel to his vocals, that fits this song perfectly. We actually feature Willie on two other songs on the album as well. What's next for you both? Dat Boy Supa: The collaborative effort was seamless in my opinion. These are my brothers so it was like working with family but more fun. What's next for me is probably a solo EP then hopefully another SupaSino album! CasinoATX: I'm putting the final touches on a solo project called "The Kush Dr.". I'm hoping Supa does a solo album of his own, and then I have some plans for a bombatious SupaSino follow-up to "AfroFuturistic. I'd give ya'll the title but these rap cats like to steal ideas, so I won't say, but Supa and I have a lot more planned moving forward from here. For the remainder of 2021 and all of 2022, you WILL see a lot of us! Dat Boy Supa Instagram CasinoATX Instagram

The Burroughs hail from hometown Greeley, Colorado, and have a strong passion for their community. Through music, The Burroughs have been able to involve themselves in many projects, music-based and non-music-based, that have helped many individuals around. Today, the band is known for creating "sweaty soul music" that offers an exciting and vibrant soundscape that will have listeners' bodies feeling all types of ways. The Burroughs is a collective band that offers musical projects that spark spirit and inspire many listeners alike. They keep their themes predominantly light throughout their songs so that the main focus is on enjoying the various harmonies. The latest release from The Burroughs comes with the debut of their music video for their high-energy single, "Baby Get Down." This particular song is their second-ever release and the song in itself is already funky, fresh, and groovy to the highest degree; it has such incredible energy to it and that wholeheartedly comes from The Burroughs collective musical personas. The melody crafted by the band is full of life, and a true boisterous rhythm gets brought to light from the collective sound of the band's instrumentals and lead vocalists' enthusiastic tones. The band ensures that soulful elements get integrated into the electrifying dance-like tune, as well as contemporary components to keep that modern flair alive. The music video for "Baby Get Down," was definitely constructed with a unique perspective in mind, and it brings similar visuals to that of early 00's music video performances. The choreography from dancers and the band's lead vocalist offers exhilarating and rousing aspects to the visuals, and it truly snags our full, undivided attention. The overall storyline incorporated into "Baby Get Down" is super fun to follow along and simplistic enough that it doesn't distract from the stimulating flow that the song carries. The Burroughs made a real impact with the release of "Baby Get Down," as they solidified their place in the music world as a fun-loving, highly spirited band. You can listen to "Baby Get Down" on major streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic The Burroughs. What kind of feelings and emotions was each band member enduring at the time the music video for "Baby Get Down" was released? How was the overall creative process amongst the group for this song? This particular song and video were a party to create from start to finish. We wanted to vibe to be a bit over the top, so we really let ourselves try out a ton of wacky ideas in the creation of the song and the video. The creative process was really rewarding and collaborative. At the music video shoot, everyone came ready to suit up in their blue tracksuits and really commit to the dance moves. We barely held it together because we were laughing so hard. It's been fun to see that spirit captured in the final video edit and out in the world for everyone to enjoy with us! "Baby Get Down" offered such amusing visuals and melodies. We were beyond stimulated by the overall production present within the song. How would you compare the production and overall execution of the music video for "Baby Get Down," compared to your first single release and its creative process? If you're referring to our first-ever recording release, that would have been waaaaay back in 2014 with the original Burroughs EP. There has been SO much we've learned since then! We've become a lot more confident in our technical execution and our creative decision-making. "Baby Get Down" has a nice mix of recorded performances from "real" instruments played together in a studio (like the rhythm section or horn section tracking together) as well as layers of interesting sounds and textures we can't always replicate live. It's exciting to use the studio to experiment with new sounds and techniques. I'd say the common thread among all of our recordings is that we always try and make something that really features the whole band working together, and that feels like an authentic snapshot of the musical exploration we're digging at that moment in time. Being known as a band that crafts "sweaty soul music," how were you hoping "Baby Get Down" would make the majority of its listeners feel? Like the song instructs, we're hoping it inspires listeners to "shake their rumps," haha - we want folks to dance! We hope it's a fun jam that gets people moving and provides a moment of levity and fun. This tune always has a great crowd reaction on our live set, and so we wanted to capture some of that energy in the studio as well. What was the most enjoyable aspect of creating "Baby Get Down" for the band, collectively? Shooting the music video was probably one of the most fun experiences we've ever had. It's impossible to keep a straight face when all nine of you are dressed in matching tracksuits. Everyone got to bust out their best dance moves and be their goofiest selves. The blooper reels from the video shoot still have us howling. What's next for you? We're blessed to be busy with all kinds of creatively fulfilling projects these days! We're just about to wrap up some summer tour dates, which have taken us to 4 states across the Mountain West. We're playing a very special show of our original music with a full symphony orchestra with the Greeley Philharmonic on October 23, 2021. And we have a few tricks still up to our sleeves for later this fall: some new music releases, additional tour dates in new cities, and more. Stay tuned! Instagram Facebook

Reborn after centuries when three brothers Kris (vocals and piano), Lex (guitar), and Dario (bass) decide to move from the old and too sunny Italy to Germany in 2012, Vlad In Tears have come to create their own custom dark sound.

Embracing the well-rounded peaks and valleys that this band tours us through, the way they navigate us through emotion and thought reigns supreme. Welcome back to BuzzMusic, Vlad in Tears. After a hiatus that was inflicted by life’s uncertain ways, we’re happy to see you all together and thriving. Could you please share a bit about how the energy between you three is different from your past days of recording, and some things that have remained consistent? Thanks for having us, it's our pleasure to be back! As you might know, I and my brothers grew up together, playing music, we've been through a lot, and our bond has never been stronger than it is now, also because of the pandemic and the lockdown, we had been missing each other so much and we've realized even more how much music and being together important is for us. Times have been hard on each and every one of us for sure, and that's also something that we share with all our fans, because we believe that we all need to feel understood and reassured somehow, and music can be the best way to do it. Do you find that being in Germany has shifted your sound? Yes, it did, people can hear the differences between all our albums and how sometimes the "German world" has actually affected our music, but to be honest, I always try to keep an open mind and get inspired by all the music around the world. What inspired the creation of your single “Dead?' "Dead" is a song about lost love, a real heavy break up, I felt that the only way to get over it was to write down all my feelings I had back then, even though I can imagine that my words could hurt, what I've been through, did hurt very much more. What do you feel that this song says about you as a band? Are there any main themes or messages that you hope can resonate with your audience? Well, actually yes, it says a lot about the band, because what's more intense than a truly passionate love story? And what's more intense than a heavy breakup? When do you get to the point of thinking you lost everything? Vlad in tears speaks to everyone, we tell stories, based on true facts, not all our stories are personal of course, but the main thing about our writing is to get connected to all the people who have been hurt, who suffered, who can still fight for their place in the world, for all people who can still dream in a world that suffocates from pain and solitude. We say "Life is a bitch sometimes, love can hurt so badly to get you to the point of feeling like dying," and yes, we say, WE TOO, but there's always hope, we have to fight and believe that we can make it, at least we won't stop trying. Could you please take us into what the creative and recording process looked like when bringing this song to life? Sometimes I dream our songs as the soundtrack to really weird and spooky nightmares I have, it's kind of a creating process that feels really weird when I wake up and start writing, it's like I know what I have to write because of the memory of the dreams I have...Other times, we just open up and write down about our experiences, of other people's...it feels so liberating, and We can see how people feel connected to us through our music. Usually, I write the songs using my piano, and after that, we start working on the other instruments, sharing ideas, and experimenting as much as possible. What's next for you? We are currently working on our new album, a heavy sound, and deep subjects are going to be the main theme of our Lp, in the meantime, we are planning our next live shows, festivals, and some more dates around Europe. We truly hope that we will all be able to travel and play our music at the best, we can't wait to see our fans all out there and feel the magic with all of them. Instagram Facebook
