AMI-LA is a pastor kid who grew up listening to and singing gospel music since the tender age of 5. Her style is vibrant with a mixture of gospel alternative rock and embodies a hint of soul. She identifies most with contemporary gospel music, but with her unique style, the message is strong. The Kingdom calls it Message Music. Some of her music influences are Yolanda Adams, Billie Holiday, Kirk Franklin, Mariah Carey, and Monica. Being inspired by all genres of music, she knows that her purpose on earth is to use her voice for the Lord to provoke change. Allowing us to tap into a realm that is fueled by funk, soul, and overall uplifting vibrations, AMI-LA’s single “Creature,” comes hurtling through the speakers and into our hearts. Found on her three-track EP, ‘Decades,’ the nostalgic flair that is offered up has us submerging ourselves in the reminiscent sounds of the 80s as she tours us through a prevalent soundscape that ventures on with a purpose. The vibrancy that her alluring personality showcases, speaks to us on a newfound dimension that catches every luminescent twinkle that sparkles on the spectrum of captivating melodies. AMI-LA uses a remarkable amount of timing and spatial cues in the manner she chooses to deliver her lyrics. Bringing a distinct focus to how she ties in the sounds of the times with her messaging that casts upon the Lord, AMI-LA has us bouncing to the beat of her own drum. There are not many out there who can transport you through the decades and still manage to add their own creative zest to a musical concoction robust with bolstered components. AMI-LA has us thrilled to explore her interpretations on a level of consciousness and depth, all while she breaks down barriers by placing emphasis on her faith. Welcome to BuzzMusic AMI-LA, and congratulations on the release of “Creature.” The concept that you have instilled into your EP ‘Decades,’ is so unique and memorable. What inspired you to take this route when bringing life to your vision? Thank you so much! Honestly, God gave it to me. I've always enjoyed music and fashion from various decades, and what's more vivid than the 80s, 90s, and 00s. I identify with those time periods because I've lived through them. Just being inspired by so many artists like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Monica, Kirk Franklin, and Adele inspired me to experiment with various forms of music in gospel format. Plus, I have a song on the EP entitled Take Me There that was written over five years ago, and it always reminded me of an 80s prom, so I just started from there, and God directed the rest of the creativity. In your own words, what does “Creature” mean to you? Why did you find it well suited for the position of the second track of this project? To me, Creature means a transformative being, one who may have wild tendencies but has a heart of gold. I thought this was perfect for the second track because it's edgy, and it is a stark contrast between the love ballad of Take Me There and my folk-inspired River song. It's always fun to have a surprise or something unexpected, and I think Creature is that unpredictable track with a unique message. A message of regardless of your past, your future can change, especially with Christ. Do you find it fairly easy to tap into your faith in order to write music? Has this always been the case for you? Easy, no but, I think it's extremely organic. Things just come to me now. I can see something or hear something or be in meditation, and a melody will come or a phrase, it's as if the heavens just opened and dropped this thought into my head like ok let's try this, it's pretty different and sometimes even surprising like, ok Lord let's do this, sure! Of course, this has not always been the case, but as I've been progressing in my spiritual journey, it has truly changed me, and I'm grateful for all the heavenly downloads, lol. What’s your mission statement as an artist? How do you ensure that this transpires into everything you choose to do? My mission statement as an artist is this, to use my voice for the Lord to provoke change. Whether through giving advice to others or posting a scripture online; you never know who can be influenced by your life. Trust and believe someone is always watching, even if you don't know it. So, I think being authentic, vulnerable, and sincere about your walk with Christ is imperative because you never know how it can help someone else. #ChangeAgentforChrist #KingdomMessageMusic.

Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, the Dark-Pop artist, and Singer-Songwriter Rayne gears up for the release of her forthcoming EP, 'False Love,' by way of her latest upbeat single, "Who's Sorry Now?" After beginning her industry venture in 2018 by co-writing with the likes of Tavish Crowe, Andrew Allen, Troy Sampson, and many others, Rayne quickly found her sound. Currently settling in the heart of the dark-pop music scene, Rayne is best known for fuelling her lyricism with themes that discuss the darker and sadder aspects of modern relationships. Releasing her EP, 'False Love,' on July 30th, 2021, Rayne mentioned this about the forthcoming project, "Writing the songs for 'False Love' was really a learning experience for me. I grew so much as an artist and writer over the process, and I think you can hear that growth throughout the tracks." Recently releasing the third lead single from the project entitled "Who's Sorry Now?" let's get to the goods and dive right in. "Who's Sorry Now?" begins with plucky synth arrangements, crisp snaps, and Rayne's warm vocal portrayal. Once the drums start to expand with light chimes, we later drop into the upbeat chorus with an exhilarating bassline, a hefty drum arrangement, bright electric guitars, and a lively array of synths. Listening to Rayne's lyricism within this single, she expands on themes of wasting her time and effort on someone who should've stayed in her past. As Rayne continues chanting the song's title with her melodic and anthemic vocal stylings, the song comes to an end with an immense sense of empowerment and self-sufficiency. Get your dose of motivation with help from Rayne's latest single, "Who's Sorry Now?" available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Rayne. We're incredibly excited to hear your forthcoming EP, 'False Love,' on July 30th. Why did you choose to release the single, "Who's Sorry Now," prior to the EP? Does the single encapsulate the vibe of the upcoming project? Honestly, I just wanted to release another single before dropping the whole EP! I figured ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’ would be a fun track to release as we enter the summer months, it’s a bit more dance-inspired and has more of a summer vibe than the other unreleased songs on the EP. I think it definitely encapsulates some of the more empowered messages presented on ‘False Love’, and sonically is a good transition between the darker and brighter sounds featured on the EP. What inspired the empowering and spiteful lyrical theme within your single, "Who's Sorry Now?” When did you begin writing ideas for this track? The lyrics in most of my songs are kind of melancholy, so I thought it would be nice to write something a bit more confident and uplifting than the direction I normally lean into. The concept of ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’ was born in the studio. We (myself, Ryan, and Troy) would take turns throwing out an idea like “What if he dumped me over voicemail?” and then turn it into a lyric: “the wicked way you let me go, just a message on my phone”. I love that style of songwriting, where you’re figuring out how to tell a story that doesn’t exist yet. Why did you choose to fuel the sonics for "Who's Sorry Now" with an energetic, upbeat, and confident undertone? Rather than a more saddening and introspective sonic atmosphere? While writing ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’, we knew the track would have to be brighter sounding to match with the lyrics and message of the song. We went more of a dance direction than most of my other releases, which was a lot of fun to try out. I don’t think I see myself fully leaning into that genre with future releases, but I really enjoyed creating this song and expanding my musical horizons. How does your forthcoming EP, 'False Love,' represent you and your current sound? Will the EP still capture your usual haunting and alluring dark-pop approach? I think ‘False Love’ is a great representation of my growth as an artist and songwriter. There’s some variety that I think will appeal to listeners, as it doesn’t allow things to feel flat or repetitive. The feature track ‘Is It Cool If We’re Lonely?’ starts the EP off in this really cool dark pop space, and then it immediately switches over to a dancier vibe with ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’. That oscillation between upbeat and a more haunting sound continues across the entire tracklist in a surprisingly congruent way that prevents the listener from getting bored or feeling like they’ve already heard the entire EP after two songs. Throughout the writing process, I learned a lot about what my sound is and how it’s evolved since I first started working on ‘False Love’. I’m really enjoying this dark pop direction and see myself delving further into that genre with future releases. Instagram Facebook

The Toronto-hailing R&B artist and singer-songwriter Sean Jones throws us into a summer bop with his latest lively and upbeat release, "Weekend Lover." With ten years in the industry under his belt, Sean Jones has stretched his sound from contemporary r&b to soft-rock and Motown. After the vast success of his 'Soul in the City' Monday nights, where he and other artists would showcase their unique sounds, Sean Jones received the opportunity to create a musical experience for the passengers aboard WestJet's flights. Now releasing his groovy and sensual single, "Weekend Lover," the song was produced by Murray Daigle and written by Sean Jones and Donny Anderson. The track itself catapults listeners back to a nostalgic scene with its funky instrumentation and Sean Jones' delicious vocals. Hitting play on "Weekend Lover," the venture begins with a cheerful and upbeat synth arrangement accompanied by a plucky bassline, sweet electric guitar riffs, and mid-tempo drum breaks. As Sean Jones makes his way in and sweeps us off our feet, he begins to expand on the song's passionate and playful lyrical theme. While Sean Jones sings of a casual rendezvous turning into a serious relationship, he brings us all the passion and tenderness of such an exhilarating experience. We can't help but feel this overall sound of Calvin Harris meets Pharrell Williams, especially as Sean Jones continues grooving to the song's infectious rhythm and upbeat vibe. As he leads us towards the outro, Sean Jones ends the memorable listening experience with nothing but heart and desire. Get your dose of passion with help from Sean Jones' latest single, "Weekend Lover," now available to add to your summer playlist on all digital streaming platforms. We're more than impressed with the in-depth groove and energy of your recent single, "Weekend Lover." What inspired you to write a piece surrounding a casual hookup turned serious? The single as well as the entire upcoming album is a 90’s throwback album. Honestly, this song was easy to write because it came from a real place. Back in the day the boys and I would hit the club on the regular. Drinking, dancing, and yes picking up beautiful ladies was a part of the night. Some hookups were just fun while others…well they became more complicated. I broke some hearts but I also had my heartbroken. We were young and living our best lives. I could probably write a few albums with all of those memories. What was it like working with producer Murray Daigle when formulating the sonics for "Weekend Lover?” How did he help bring your ideas to life? I’ve worked with Murray on several projects now and we have really developed a great working relationship. I had a very solid sketch production-wise when we started working on the record. Murray fine-tuned everything. He straightened things out, simplified parts that were over-complicated, and replaced certain sounds to make them more appealing sonically. Murray is also amazing with vocals. The BG vocal production he orchestrated on this album is crazy. We spent a lot of time in the studio recording layer after layer of harmonies. They sound so lush and beautiful. He truly brought my vision to life. At the end of the day, you really want to work with someone that you trust has your best interests at heart. I have that with Murray and I feel that this is our best work to date. More to come. What was your collaborative songwriting process like with Donny Anderson for the single? How long did it take for the two of you to finalize your lyricism? Donny is an amazing singer and writer. I had quite a bit of the song already written by the time Donny and I got together. He helped fill in the missing pieces, adding words in here and there that helped to fill out the story and gave it more impact. The session was actually really quick and painless. Donny is one of those writers that will give you a constant stream of great ideas for hours on end and working with him is a joy. Do you usually create such anthemic, upbeat, and passionate songs like "Weekend Lover?” Or was this song merely inspired by the ongoing summer season? I think a lot of the music I’ve made over the years sounds like it could be used for a movie soundtrack. I like big anthemic songs that are passionate. I actually haven’t done an R&B album since the days with my old group In Essence. I’m very excited for you all to hear this collection of tunes. I feel like these are really great SONGS first and foremost. The lyrics tell a story. They speak about love in a way that isn’t heard much these days in R&B. Great melodies and lots of harmony stacks. This is a feel-good record from start to finish. I’m very proud of the work we’ve done and I’m looking forward to performing these tunes live once the world opens up again. What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist you admire? There are two young Canadian artists that are grinding and putting out some great work. Ruben Young is mad creative. His music is dope and he’s constantly coming at you on social media with skits and good content. I think people underestimate how hard it is to put out content consistently. He and artists like him should be applauded for the work they’re doing on all fronts. Check out his track called “Flower Girl.” I’m also a fan of an artist named Lu Kala. Great voice and catchy songs. I had invited her to perform at my Soul In The City show in 2019 before the world exploded. She can deliver live. Check out her track “Love Shit."

Sines is back, and this time, he's here with a musical bang. As a Portland, Oregon artist, Sines is all about crafting music that is full of engaging elements. Whether that comes along with his glamorous visuals or affecting lyricism, Sines's musical products elicit an impacting effect. Presently, Sines is eager to communicate more with his listeners through his enigmatic approach to electronic music. The latest release from Sines, titled "Something In The Way," is accompanied by a colorful music video, where passionate, close-up visuals take the stand and bring playful aspects to both the song and video. Sines' mixing is strong and fervorous; he shakes the melody up with a versatile collection of rhythms that one wouldn't initially expect to blend with such naturality. Nevertheless, with his fine-tuning, Sines' combination of sounds ends up being infectious and vibrant. The melody brings a smooth pop flow and meshes it with dance-like elements that make the environment feel spirited and fresh. After watching the "Something In The Way" music video, it's clear that the creative mind of Sines works in many versatile ways, and we can’t wait to see what Sines will release next. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Sines. How do you feel following the release of “Something In The Way” and its music video? Jason: This song felt like the perfect intro to the new album and definitely was a standout track from its first demos. Kitty actually features two songs on the forthcoming album, and she definitely made the song into what it is. It’s one of the best things I have ever done and love this tune so much! I found Kitty rather late in the making of the album and we did two songs together, the first and the last which are appropriate because we have decided to work on a full-length to follow “A Series of Moments.” What is the message you're trying to deliver to listeners throughout, "Something In The Way?” Kitty: As a consumer, I’m highly aware that most “love” songs are conforming to the highly heteronormative world we live in. I have never been one to write about crushes or romantic desire, but I knew that if I did I would want to embrace and express my own sexuality and direct the lyrics towards a woman crush. I think this is a song to which people can dance freely and feel happy, just as one should be when embracing one’s sexuality. And a special thanks to Jodie Comer in her role as Villanelle, who was my source of inspiration for each and every lyric. Jason: I was trying to write sort of a new take on Smalltown Boy from Bronski Beat. I wanted to write something about those first “feelings" and embracing one’s totality of self and self-expression including sexual self-expression and acceptance and all of that kind of stuff. Tell us a bit about the production process when filming your music video. How did you come up with the concept vs. how you made it come to life? Jason: I had nothing to do with the video. That was 100% Kitty and I absolutely LOVE what she did. Kitty: The production process for the video went quite smoothly considering it was the first pop music video I had ever put together. However, pre-production and post-production were where my creative juices had to start flowing. I knew I wanted the video to be very colorful and so decided to film with a green screen onto which I could edit psychedelic-type visuals. I owe my friend Brittany Forsmo (who performed as “The Silhouette” in the video). What can we expect to see next from you? The new full-length Sines album “A Series of Moments” will be out shortly after the release of the next single “Mr. Ciao (featuring Christia Siravo) What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist you admire? I know they aren’t really ‘indie’ but I, really loving the 3 singles off the forthcoming CHVRCHES album couldn’t be more excited about the new record. I think they are one of the smartest and most interesting pop groups around. Instagram

Writing her raps and poems to help cope with depression, cnspracy never shies away from conveying her truth and love for God through music.

Open your heart and mind with help from cnspracy's latest single, "Reach the Sun," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic cnspracy. We genuinely admire the honest words and genuine feel of your latest single, "Reach the Sun." Was there a particular moment or experience that inspired you to create this single? Reach the Sun is one of the most honest songs I’ve written. There really wasn’t a specific moment that inspired its creation. I think about my future, goals, and dreams on a daily basis. I’m a person that relies on faith but sometimes doubts creep into my mind and I question if I’ll really accomplish all that I’m meant to. Life can feel like it’s running at the speed of a rocket and for someone like me who aims to make the world a better place in multiple ways, that feeling can be overwhelming at times. Also speaking of rockets, while conveying this theme I found myself relating it to different space themes hence the cover art. Long story short, Reach the Sun was inspired by a feeling of ambition and escaping the constraints that society often places on people such as misogyny and age in order to achieve the dreams that give me a purpose for living. Seeing that you produce and create all of your sonics yourself, what was your solo creative process like for "Reach the Sun?" How did you begin laying your tracks down to find the right sound and feel? I like to think that my creative process can be a bit unorthodox. It really depends on what my intentions are going into a project or session. The process for Reach the Sun started out as just an idea in my head. I think I was watching TV or something and the first two hook lines and melodies just popped into my head. This happens more often than not for me. I recorded those two lines into my voice memos and put the idea on ice for a few days until I had the opportunity to use the idea as part of a songwriting assignment. Shoutout to my songwriting professor at SUNY Purchase, Rebecca Haviland. If it wasn’t for her, who knows if I would’ve completed writing Reach the Sun because I record various voice memos throughout the day and I can be quite bad at getting back to them. With almost every project I begin, I start out with creating the hook and build the song around it. I create the chord progressions, then melody, then drums and bass. When I’m trying to figure out the right chord and melody relationships I always start out using a piano preset, which my favorite is the stock one in Logic. Sometimes it makes it into the final mix of the project or I’ll choose another VST. Once I have the hook finished usually the rest of the project’s creation just flows. When I feel passionate about the message portrayed in a song as I do about Reach the Sun, the writing process is usually very natural and fun to create. Once the beat is finished I record my vocals in my bedroom. (lol) I almost always record the verse first, then the hook, then adlibs, background vocals, etc. After the recording process is finished I begin mixing which is the step I enjoy the most. It’s where the song starts to really take shape. This step was probably the hardest part of the process. I used a lot of different techniques in the track and I had a pinpoint vision for how I wanted the track to sound. Specifically, in the bridge I’m using a lot of techniques you wouldn’t typically hear in this genre and I wanted it to blend with my artistic sound well in addition to capturing the listeners’ attention. What was your songwriting process like for "Reach the Sun?" Was this a therapeutic process for you, or did you face any personal challenges when writing about your doubts and uncertainties? Every song I write is therapeutic for me. I write about my reality, my truth, things that are passionate to me. My relationship with music began as a therapeutic outlet when I was struggling with depression. Music has continued to be an indispensable tool of healing in my life. I’m not afraid, to be honest about my insecurities. I’m not perfect, no one is so, why pretend to be? I think about being an example for younger generations who sometimes struggle in finding their identities. We don’t need examples of people who appear to be indestructible and unflawed. I believe the ability to be vulnerable is one of the greatest and bravest abilities a person can possess. Could you tell us more about your artistic brand and what you aim to represent and stand for? What should listeners associate you with? If you saw me in person the first thing you’d probably notice is my physical disability. There’s no hiding it and I have no intentions of doing so. My goal is to put my disability at the forefront of my brand. I’m completely aware that many consider a disability as a liability but it’s my superpower. I aim to represent authenticity in an industry that’s playing pretend. In today’s rap industry, there are loads of artists talking about gaining riches, doing drugs, having crazy amounts of sex, and I respect that, but what about the audience that can’t relate to that? I speak for that audience. Often listeners are resonating more with the melodies and beats of songs than the lyrics and the message. By listening to my music you’re getting a wealth of both. Listeners should associate me with a unique rap flow, ear-catching sound design, booming kicks, and a resilient attitude. They say most of today’s music sounds the same, not mine. When you hear my music, you’ll know it’s cnspracy. I’ve spent the majority of my life being told what I can’t or wouldn’t be able to do. I’ve already shocked a lot of people, I’m ready to shock some more. What's next for you? I’m beyond excited for what God has in store for me. Recently, I’ve discovered who I really am as an artist and it shows in the music I’m currently releasing. I’m excited for the world to hear all that I have to offer. Reach the Sun is a single of my first upcoming EP ‘The Path’ releasing August 6th. This EP is somewhat of an auditory storybook of my experiences throughout the last couple of years. I wear my heart on my sleeve throughout the project and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. I can see that the future is bright. People like to say that the sky's the limit, I disagree. I have no limit. Instagram Twitter

With roots in Berlin, Germany, and Austin, TX, the singer-songwriter, genre-less artist, and producer Nora Lilith marks a pivotal moment in her career with a dark and deep single, "Misfed." Always taking a DIY approach with her music, Nora Lilith writes, produces, and mixes everything herself after learning how to use Ableton a couple of years back. With a sound that ranges from lo-fi electronica to experimental pop, house, r&b, and jazz, it's without a doubt that listeners will genuinely appreciate the explorative approaches that Nora Lilith has to offer. Now releasing her dreamy and ethereal single, "Misfed," Nora Lilith showcases her angelic vocal stylings while also drenching us in haunting and mysterious tones throughout the song's entirety. "The lyrical meaning behind this song definitely falls into the same theme as many of my songs; an expression of awareness of lost and stolen pieces of myself and a desperation for them to be found," says Lilith. Introducing ourselves to the single, "Misfed," the venture begins with delicate keyboard melodies at Nora Lilith's incredibly fragile and haunting vocal tones. Right off the bat, Nora Lilith leaves us in a trance with her minimal production, soothing keyboard tones, and her lush vocals. Delving deeper into her lyrics, Nora Lilith slowly expands on her need to find herself once again after making the realization that no one knows her mind quite like she does. We can't help but compare Nora Lilith's vocal stylings to Billie Eilish, as her gentle whispers and innate soul pours through our speakers like a songbird with a broken wing. Also showcasing her incredible and broad vocal range, Nora Lilith closes the song with nothing but introspection, emotion, and depth. Don't miss out on Nora Lilith's latest chilling single, "Misfed," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Nora Lilith. We can't get enough of the haunting and chilling approach you've taken with your recent single, "Misfed." What inspired the song's emotional lyrical theme? The lyrics to "Misfed" weren’t at all premeditated. It was a very organic emotional expression that came from simply slipping into a flow state while singing. It was actually one of the first songs, if not the first, where I was able to tap into that authenticity of my unconscious mind without strain or any conscious effort. What was it like working with M-Cubed for "Misfed?" What aspects of the song did he manage? Working with M-Cubed was amazing. Since we’re also partners, we’ve had some time to get comfortable with each other in a creative setting and find ways to make each other feel safe and supported. I’m not sure I would have been able to discover these new ways of relating to my lyricism and voice without the ease that that space provided me. Initially, we were just jamming and improvised most of the track, with me singing and him on keys. Later we both added some foley sounds and tweaked the production a bit. Would you say that you're relatively familiar with writing such emotional and saddening lyrical themes, similar to "Misfed?" Did you write the lyrics for this piece with ease? I am definitely familiar with darker lyrical themes. I think it's sort of my bread and butter, it's what inspires me most to write and sing; being able to alchemize my malaise in these ways is the spark of my musical interests. On a more personal note, why do you think your music has been so successful thus far? What do you bring to the table that your audience loves and cherishes? This is an interesting question, I’m honestly not quite sure! Since my tracks are very lo-fi, I feel like that raw non dressed up element makes them relatable or at least offers transparency into my world a bit. I think I’m also attempting a lot of accessible genres but definitely in a less conventional way, so maybe that is intriguing to some. What's your favorite release of this year from an independent artist you admire? I’ve really enjoyed Red Room by Hiatus Kaiyote. Instagram Twitter

Remind yourself of life's special moments with help from Fritz Michel's latest single, "Look Out (Botticelli Girl)," available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Fritz Michel. We highly appreciate the reflective theme and approach you've taken with your recent single, "Look Out (Botticelli Girl)." What inspired you to write the single? I wrote “Look Out (Botticelli Girl)” after a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York one afternoon last fall right after the museum had reopened. We all have great moments and they are part of what supports you as an artist. I felt that connection experience of looking at great paintings and then reflecting on my own story. Life changes, unlike a painting so, for me, the song explores that tension. I also thought “Botticelli Girl” had a catchy ring to it and would make a good lyric! Why did you choose to keep the instrumentals for "Look Out (Botticelli Girl)" so soothing and lush? What vibe did you want to offer listeners? I sprinkled references to Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” into the song and I wondered what the painting might sound like. I wanted percussion to conjure up sounds of the ocean and the guitars to filter down like the sunlight in the painting. The song’s bridge echoes back like listening to music through a conch shell. That’s where the soothing, lush vibe comes from. I want to offer listeners some uplifting energy that’s born from moving through an intense shared experience be it painful or jubilant. What was your collaborative process like with Tosh Sheridan for your single, "Look Out (Botticelli Girl)?" How does he help bring your vision to life? Tosh told me he thought the song sounded like Lou Reed crashing into The Band! We wanted to find a melodious groove that wouldn’t let those intimate urban vignettes pass by unnoticed on the way to telling some bigger story. For example, we added Phil Palombi’s stand-up bass line to give “Look Out” some jazzy New York City energy. We've heard that you have more music coming later this year. What should we expect from this material? How will listeners get to know you and your music better through these songs? I’m finishing up a couple of more songs which with my 2021 singles “Darker Now”, “Stardust”, and “King of Corona” will make my first EP. I want to get back to performing too. For me, music is a good way to tap into our need for bliss, storytelling, and myth in life. I think it’s all about that conversation and listening to one another. Instagram
