Feel your heart flutter with help from Isabella Chiarini's latest single, "Every Single Tear," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic Isabella. We're incredibly impressed with the vulnerability and heart you've delivered in your latest single, "Every Single Tear." Was there a specific moment that inspired you to release your emotions through song and create this heartfelt piece? I wouldn’t say it was a specific moment that necessarily inspired me, but more so a build-up of emotions about certain events happening in my life. At the time of writing I started thinking about the emotions I went through and continue to deal with when my mom died, and at the time a friendship of mine had ended so it was a mixture of different events that sparked the inspiration. Your lyricism within "Every Single Tear" is incredibly thorough and wildly vulnerable. Do you feel that vulnerability is something that comes easy to you when writing songs, especially for this recent release? I wrote this song with my long-time vocal coach Teresa Nocita, so being vulnerable around her was very easy which contributed to the lyrics being vulnerable. Opening up about my emotions has always been hard for me, I am extremely sensitive but when I get upset I often shut down and keep to myself so writing this song was something extremely challenging for me but I feel like it was something I needed to do. How did you navigate the sonic atmosphere to amplify and enhance your emotional lyricism within "Every Single Tear?" Did you work with any producers who helped bring this song to life? I would choose “Every Single Tear” because it displays a roller coaster of emotions. It displays sadness, anger, frustration, and then the end almost relief because the person has found themselves again. I want people to know it is okay to struggle and it is okay to feel these emotions but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and no matter how hard things might be, you will make it to the other side. If you were to choose one of your songs to introduce yourself to a new listener, which song of yours do you feel best represents who you are and what you stand for? Keeping lyrics and personal experiences relevant to what is happening in everyone's life. We lose and gain people, we grow and learn, we fail and pick ourselves back up. Constant change… totally relevant to today's society and anyone’s emotional status. My vocal coach Teresa Nocita and producer Eric Ruscinski definitely brought this song to life! They took it to a whole new level I never dreamed of my music reaching which I am forever grateful for. What is your mission statement as an artist? Do what you want, even if other people don’t agree, who cares. In my opinion, you only have one life to live, and you shouldn’t waste it worrying about others if you do what you want you will be happier in the long run. Instagram Facebook

  • Musical "Therapy," Comes Naturally to noelle

    Raised on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, noelle’s upbringing exposed her to a vast range of musical genres, from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan to the powwow drum and native wind flute of her Indigenous roots.

What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist you admire? My favorite release of this year would have to be Bruno Mars’ single, “Leave The Door Open.” I absolutely love how he integrates old-style jazz into his modern music. The layering and vocals are incredible. I dream of working with him someday. Instagram Facebook

Was there a specific moment that inspired you to write a single based on life pre-pandemic and missing those easier times? Thank you so much! I’m glad you guys enjoy the tune. I wrote “Reminiscing” literally a week or two right before the quarantine started and I moved to LA from Cincinnati about three months before the quarantine as well. I spent my whole life in Cincinnati. I built so many relationships there and met and worked with so many beautiful people inside and out. Cincinnati is my home and where the majority of my family lives. Then all a sudden out of nowhere my mom asked me to move down to LA with her. She is a contract nurse and had been working/living in LA for about 4-5 months before I had moved there with her. She saw an opportunity for me here in LA and I couldn’t say no to chasing a dream and opportunity like this. Three weeks after she asked me to move, my ass was in California. I was really enjoying myself the first couple of weeks just trying to see as much of LA as I could before I found a job. But after those first couple of weeks, I really started to miss my family and friends. Then 3-4 months go by and I felt like I was missing out on so much back home. I was in a weird headspace because I knew I had to take a chance on making my dreams become reality but at the same time, I just wanted to be back in Cincinnati drinking some cheap beers with my buddies after work and hanging out enjoying time with my family. I knew though that I had to make some sacrifices and had to prove to myself that it would be worth it in the long run, y’know, look at the big picture of it all. When I started writing “Reminiscing” I was really in my feels and was missing a certain girl back home. I honestly still think about her til’ this day. I would’ve made her my girlfriend back at home if I knew I wasn’t going to be moving away across the country. It was all just terrible timing honestly. Once I moved to LA we kind of stopped communicating. We still FaceTime every once in a while though and we literally talk for hours and hours every time. Plus, whenever I visit back home I always try my best to hang out with her. Every time we hang out it’s like we just hung out yesterday. Never skip a beat. Just writing all this now is making me miss her lol. So yeah, I wouldn’t say I had a specific moment that inspired me but more of a specific person instead. Why did you choose to offer this lush and hazy surf-rock feel to your single, "Reminiscing"? How does the instrumentation help emphasize the song's emotional lyrical theme? I wanted to establish a certain sound or vibe for Lazy Daze. I always enjoy it when I hear a song that you’re not really familiar with but you know exactly who that band or artist is. Bands like Modest Mouse, especially early Modest Mouse-like before “Good News For People Who Love Bad News” you can hear any song before that album from them, and even if you’ve never heard the song before you already know it’s a Modest Mouse song just from guitar parts. So that’s what I am trying to do for Lazy Daze. My two main influences for Lazy Daze are The Strokes and The Beach Boys. With a little bit of influence from The Cure and Blink 182 (pre-first break up). So that sound or vibe that I am trying to establish is like a modern-day Beach Boys with a bit more edge or new wave influence. That’s why “Reminiscing” has a real surfy vibe to it. And I feel like the instrumentation of the song is for the most part a very happy vibe as well. Even though lyrically you would think it’s a sad song. “It’s really not that bad, but I’ve seen better days.” is one of the lyrics to the song. I knew I was in this shitty situation but I was still able to tell myself that it’ll be ok with time. So I was personally feeling this contrast, and I feel like the song itself shows that contrast between its upbeat sound and darker lyrics. It just makes sense to me, and kind of gives it that, with all good things, come bad things feel and vice versa if you will. Did you endure any personal struggles or challenges when thinking back to life pre-pandemic in order to write your single, "Reminiscing"? What was your songwriting process like? I was just feeling really alone romantically at times. I had someone that I wanted to be with in mind but she was so far away. So obviously that fucking sucked. I also gave up my whole social life as well. I missed everyone terribly. It was really hard but writing music really helped me out. It’s all I really did during the pandemic. Making these tunes to make me feel better is what drove me. I just wanted to feel good. And doing all of this (music) gives me that escape and spiritual high (especially when I listen to a song for the first time after I finish it). But lyrically for “Reminiscing” I really used the feelings of nostalgia that I was having whenever I would think about a girl. The good times that I always had with her. Plus, I’m a sucker for love songs. Who doesn’t enjoy a nice little love song? They’re relatable. And for the instrumentation like I said earlier, I really wanted that surf sound to come out. I first started with the rhythm guitar parts, added some drums, then the bass guitar. But when it came to the lead guitar part I was really struggling. I remember sitting there for hours just messing around with little riffs, obviously, I didn’t fuck with anything that I was producing for the moment so I decided to take a break. I smoked some things and watched surfing videos on Youtube. I was vibing hella hard with the videos lol. I caught a nice buzz as the surfers were catching their waves. I found the inspiration I was looking for and picked up my guitar and started playing around again. I started playing the riff that you hear in the beginning of the song and it just fit so perfectly with the video of people surfing. I knew I was finally on to something. When you know you just know. It felt right to me. It’s probably my favorite song instrumentally. I can’t help but smile every time I hear it. How did "Reminiscing" help prepare our ears for your EP, 'Pitted'? Should we expect the same nostalgic and introspective theme throughout your EP? “Reminiscing” definitely is the tone starter for the whole EP. I wanted the whole overall vibe (of the EP) to make you feel like you were having a nice cold beverage on the beach with your friends and family during the summertime. Or for my midwest people, a lake or river. Someone told me they felt like they were at a late-night beach party and they were sitting by the fire having a nice conversation when they were listening to it. I told them that they hit the nail on the head with that one! But all the songs are love songs with very simple melodies over wavy and euphoric instrumentation. You’ll have to hear it for yourself and make up your own overall vibe though. What I would say is to expect a fun and chill ride with the songs. Go to the beach, cruise in your car, or play it while you’re with someone you care about deeply. I don’t care what you do when you’re listening to it, as long as you’re having a good time and vibing out. Whether it’s in your own company or with the company of loved ones. I hope you enjoy it.

  • Explore Heartfelt Themes With Willis Love On His New Project 'End'

    Delving into the multifaceted ways of Willis Love, you’ll quickly learn his skill set as a recording artist, songwriter, and producer from Brooklyn, New York. Taking his experience in various genres to the foundation of his own creations, Willis Love’s dancehall style background is paired with his upbringing in a musical household where he has always been influenced by legendary artists such as. Michael Jackson, Usher, and R. Kelly, to name a few. Delivering his latest nine-track album titled, 'End,' we get to explore the array of soundscapes that comprise Willis Love’s musical repertoire. Thoroughly delving into the commencement of intimate soundscapes that exude a deep yearning and passion for one close to Willis Love, the enticing energy that is formulated in a record such as “Animal,” has us hooked on the melismatic vocalization that echoes through our sound system. Enlisting the skill set of Jaye Archer to produce emcee-like verses chalked full of descriptive lyricism, the narrative that is depicted before us acts as a letter to the apple of Willis Love’s eye. Fitting into a similar theme that is unveiled in the ambient vibrations shaking the resonance of “End,” the other featured track on this album takes us into a rhythmic sway of elusively flowing harmonies with Mia Taylor on “She Better.” With the lyrical motifs brought forth in a way that has us intrigued at each word melodically strung together, we admire the themes addressed in such an eye-opening manner. “Moment of Honesty,” provides the unspoken reflections that some aren’t willing to take when embarking in the depths of adoration. Igniting the flame within his virtuoso and bringing light to these realistic tones, Willis Love protrudes a certain vulnerability that has us sinking into our seats all while taking a dynamic approach to what the new wave of contemporary R&B offers. We hear the forward callings of Willis Love assert his thoughts with the blunt notions to back up what he performs in “So Easily.” There’s something so soothing about the buttery cadences Willis Love chooses to embrace in this album, and song in particular. The warmth that is etched into the alluring tone sparked, has us accepting the invitation into his world regardless of the particular theme he addresses. Similar to the dynamism offered up in “Sex Sounds,” although the chronicles lead to various points of Willis Love’s tale. We’re still hung up on the brilliance that lingers in the textured croons that propel us to newfound heights. Tracks like “Loyal,” “1st Date,” and “Where You From?” play upon the vibrancy and mainstream appeal that Willis Love embodies in the various avenues he takes his craft. Displaying a wide range of sounds that fit on a spectrum dedicated to going through the motions of love, we’re thrilled to hear the well-rounded sounds of a storyline that is rich in representation, loyalty, and real-life experiences. Thinking of how Willis Love puts himself on display for the quality of his artistry, we hear each ardently showcased creation come to life in a way that reminisces on the exploration of his past and present. Shifting gears into the notable outro song heard on 'End,' we buckle up for the metaphorically witty, and radiant track “Cruise Control.” Presenting listeners with a vastly different tempo in the instrumentation and overall energy dispersed, we have to admit that this final piece of the 'End,' puzzle has us wanting to run back the entire body of work. Allowing our vigor to feast on what resides right before us, the gust of upbeat amplification has us remembering that if anyone can do versatile, it’s Willis Love. See what all the hype is about for yourself, and get ready to be swept away into 'End.' Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic Willis Love. Your latest album 'End,' holds up to being a true sonic voyage that we’re happy to be part of. What went into choosing the tracklist and making sure each song fits into your desired scheme? 'End' is a story about my past relationship that I wanted to explain sonically, it was an emotional rollercoaster building this tracklist without bringing back old memories and moments, but I'm very happy and proud of myself. Being able to bring this story and vision to life through song is a big achievement for me. In terms of the vision that you bring forth, we pick up on the themes of sex, love, and everything in between. Did you find these songs fairly easy to convey when turning your stories into songs? Would you consider yourself more of a storyteller or lyrical artist? From a memories and moments point of view, it was difficult to write about because I wasn't sure how my supporters would react to my personal life being told because I like to keep things private, but once I started to create the music I felt this was the best music I ever made because it was so personal so I would say I consider myself more of a storyteller for sure Out of the nine songs that listeners can treat themselves to on “End,” do you happen to have one that resonates with you more than the rest? Why? I would say there are 2 records "So Easily & Sex Sounds", when I was writing those records I really felt them and sex sounds were created with my ex on the phone so you can only imagine how real it was for me. From the time of recording to this present moment, have you noticed growth within yourself and your mentality? Could you please explain? I believe creating this album and finishing it from top to bottom and opened up my eyes in so many different ways, I believe it truly helped me grow as an individual spiritually and mentally After taking in this body of work for themselves, what final do you have for your ever-growing fan base about this project? Thank you to all my fans for the positive and negative feedback, I'm happy the album resonated with you in some way, we all go through things in life and it's important we learn how to express our frustrations in a healthy and positive way. End. Deluxe (End-ING) will be available on August 13th, 2021 for an extended version of the story! Instagram Facebook

  • Clear Your Schedule for Morning Trips "We Have No Time (For Now)"

    Together for four years now, Morning Trips is the American-based four-pieced expansive sound that has been described by the Northwest Florida Daily News as ‘influenced by a gumbo of dream pop, shoegaze, R&B, and 80s music.’ Adding founding punk-era nostalgia and saccharine synths into the mix for good measure, the unique blend of comforting yet pulsating feelings ripple and resonate further with each riff; Morning Trips aim to be for all collections of people as they morph through soundscapes with their diverse approach to creating. Laying down their own groundwork as trailblazers in a dimension custom to them, Morning Trips brings forth their most recent single, “We Have No Time (For Now).” With a reverberated atmosphere cast throughout the speakers, the textured layers that compose this soundscape have us feeling the mind-altering grooves of Morning Trip's musical genius first-hand. Colossal percussion patterns grasp onto the rhythmic essence in a way that carves out an infectious groove that you can’t help but fall into. There’s an elevated climax that occurs when the transition from verses to chorus navigate you to an altitude that rises with the same impactful energy that Morning Trips delivers to their audience as second nature. With a soothing performance of robust timbres that propel abstract lyrics within “We Have No Time (For Now),” you can’t help but to find a witty quip that pulls you into this masterpiece in a personal manner. With words like, ‘It seems that I’ve misplaced my good fortune and my taste,’ bringing you a flavor for what Morning Trips provides in the intriguing songwriting conveyed, you understand more and more as to why they garner attention and an unstated allure as they build up their fan base. Welcome to BuzzMusic Morning Trips, and Congratulations on the release of your latest single “We Have No Time (For Now).” We can’t help but take in the lyrical content in a way that speaks to us directly, but may also be subjective to the listener. In your own words, what does this song mean to you? The song is definitely about the distance and confusion that comes from time away from people you are close with. Growing apart from people for no other reason than just time leading you to separate paths, but making the time you do get together count. I've always played in my mind with the idea of time travel or transporting yourself somewhere that wasn't in the present moment. So I feel like a lot of ways this song is about trying to wish you could have enjoyed the moment and reflecting on the "what if's" Is this what you hope your audience takes away from it as well, or do you hope it resonates with them in various ways? I think the cool thing about art is that even if I wanted the song to evoke a certain feeling, I know and fully accept people are going to draw conclusions and attach their own meanings to the songs. Sometimes, I feel what the people are getting out of the art is more important than what the artist is putting in. I guess if I had any hope of what I would want people to feel with this song is to just not waste the precious time and to leave everything we find better after we leave. You mention that this song will be the groundwork for what’s to come. What can you tell us about your reasoning for making this the start of the creative genius to come pouring in? I always think we are getting better but I think this song is a nice little prelude to what our EP’s will LOOK like. Sonics-wise, there are a lot of similar textural elements - at least I could hold this piece up next to larger, cohesive forms of expression and all of it sounds natural. We felt from top to bottom - from the visuals, the storytelling, the sonics - we understood each intention 100%. We did a lot of our production and video work over 2020, and while we always had a good grip on our sonic identity - getting the grip on the visual identity was a fun experiment and I think this song was the song that made me realize how much we were over-thinking and see what was right in front of me the whole time. What’s your mission statement as a band? How do you ensure that is conveyed in everything that you do? Just be earnest and honest. We don’t care about making one certain genre of music, we want to try everything. We don't get caught up in the numbers game, we try to express something interesting and well thought out to try and evoke whoever is interested to think We don’t play things safe, especially when it comes to our identity and how we express ourselves. I think being earnest and honest lands you real friends, and we’d rather have 5 real friends than 100 fake ones. I've always said I want Morning Trips to be a band that helps usher in more progressive, open spaces for people to enter and roam freely and I think capturing that approach in creation is super important to me.

  • BuzzMusic is "Listening," to Julia Cannon's Creamy Textured Voice

    Julia Cannon is your contemporary Indie/Folk artist that contains a versatile array of exciting vocal nuances. As a singer/songwriter, Julia Cannon embeds lyrics that have a profound meaning and reflect the intensity of her life. Julia's most recent work consists of her EP, titled 'Listening,' which features a string of songs that showcases Julia Cannon's outlet for her grief. After facing a couple of family deaths, Julia Cannon wanted to craft her pain into something beautiful, and with the release of her EP came the beginning of her healing journey. The last song on Julia Cannon's EP, titled "Listening," has an authentic peaceful entity to it. The entirety of the song is very smooth and delicate, and each lyric is delivered with such a graceful tone on Julia Cannon's end. Cannon is known for her soft, angelic sound, and "Listening" featured the best elements of these known qualities. Once you arrive at the chorus of 'Listening,' it's safe to say it will be goosebump-central with the almost whistle-like tones of Julia Cannon. The storyline of "Listening" is shaped well by Julia Cannon's youthful, yet refined tone. She brings an impactful feel to the song and opens her heart to listeners with a moving story that will easily garner attention. With a heartfelt narrative, 'Listening' sheds many truths about the life and personality of Julia Cannon, allowing listeners to experience Julia Cannon in a much deeper way. "Listening," as well as Julia Cannon's EP is now available to stream on listening platforms. A warm welcome to BuzzMusic Julia Cannon, and congratulations on the release of “Listening.” How do you feel upon the release of your EP, and are you receiving the response you had initially expected? Thank you! I’m so glad that it’s finally out in the world! One good thing about my imposter syndrome is that I’m always surprised when my music is received well. So, I’m blown away by this response. It feels really great to grow with a community and feel like I’m making meaningful connections. I’ve been building myself up from poverty my whole adult life. So, on top of working over 55 hours a week, and trying to break generational curses, I’m just now starting to be able to invest in my music. It feels amazing. I can’t wait to keep growing and creating. What kinds of emotions were you hoping to allow your listeners to experience with "Listening?" I was hoping that sharing something from a super vulnerable place would invite others to feel safe to go there too. Watching that come to fruition has been extremely therapeutic. Were there any artistic strategies embedded into "Listening?" How did you go about crafting this particular track on your EP in comparison to the other tracks? There was no real strategy in the making of the title track. The production is very intimate and stripped back. My heart was breaking and I needed to put it into words. This song basically fell out of me. Last year after George Floyd was murdered, we had to watch people in our communities defend his killer. The internet was our only escape from Covid, and it was flooded with arguments about whether or not he deserved justice and graphic reminders of violent acts committed against people who look like me. It felt like everyone was watching and weighing in and letting us down with their lack of humanity. There was nowhere to find peace. When Breonna Taylor was murdered, I crumbled. She was my age. She could have been me. She could have been one of my friends or family members. I had nightmares. I had to have difficult conversations with the non-black people in my life who couldn’t empathize with how I was feeling or what I was going through. The fact that no one could look away was terrible for the mental health of black Americans, but it also gave me a little hope. The door was open for some work to be done. There were no distractions. People were being forced to acknowledge what was happening and address it. “Can you hear me now?” Are you planning on performing any live shows for your EP debut? I don’t have anything planned at the moment! This EP is very different from what I normally perform live with my band and it was so cathartic to make that I’d probably just end up crying on stage. But I’m open! I love performing so much, but I really want to prioritize putting more music out into the world for a bit. I have so much more to show you. Instagram Facebook

Let go of your stressors and get down to Tha Vill's latest single, "Slow Vibing," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Tha Vill, we truly adore the groovy atmosphere and lush vibe of your recent single, "Slow Vibing." What inspired you to create a song that encourages listeners to take a break and get down with the song's relaxed vibe? Thanks, I wanted to make something with a mellow chill vibe because a lot of people are feeling stressed with everything that’s going on in the world. So I wanted to make something that could take your mind away from all of that for a few minutes. What drew you to the rap stylings of Drew Seeley to feature on your single, "Slow Vibing?" What was your collaborative experience like with him? Me and Drew are label mates at Run n Gun and when I first heard his voice I knew he would be perfect for this song. So after I wrote it I sent it over to him and asked if he wanted to hop on it with me. He heard it and was on it immediately! Drew is super easy and dope to work with. He’s not only a dope singer but an amazing writer too and just a dope person all the way around. Could you enlighten us on your creative process for "Slow Vibing" and how you began laying down tracks to reach such a groovy and atmospheric sonic tone? I started making Slow Vibing with the melody first then I started building the track. I took a little inspiration from Calvin Harris, I like the way he seems to keep good energy in a lazy-sounding vocal, It’s all about the vibe. I wanted that vibe to take my listeners away from whatever they were doing and write into the song. After I got the track how I wanted then I wrote the lyrics. Do you usually create tracks that nod to genres like r&b and hip-hop, similar to "Slow Vibing?" Or would you say that your production stylings are rather explorative? I usually make tracks on how I’m feeling at the time so they tend to be all over the place. Sometimes I want to get a deep message across so that song may make you think. Sometimes I want the opposite so I’ll make something that makes you wanna just vibe out and chill. So my production style is definitely explorable. What's next for you? I’m working on a new album now for myself and producing still for other artists. My main focus is tv/film so you will continue to hear me on ya screen on some show or movie. Instagram Facebook

With “Just Say It,” debuting the versatility and exposed depth that Cole De portrays, we’re thrilled to have her on our radar of emerging finds that need to be heard immediately. Welcome to BuzzMusic Cole De, and congratulations on the debut release of “Just Say It.” With this being your first single release, we love the vulnerability that you expose to us. How did you know that this song would be your debut in music? I had no choice, I was a theatre teacher before I released my single, and I actually wrote this song for a hip hop remix to a Shakespearean play. The two lead actors were arguing and when I walked past she told him "If you miss me just say that." And I told my teacher friend "these kids are too grown" but it stuck with me, and I put it in a song. My students that wanted to sing it, didn't have an idea of what I needed it to sound like so I created a small recording studio in a practice booth in the choir room and recorded it quickly, and didn't think twice about it. Well, when I played it for my students one, in particular, encouraged me to release the song. He kept saying "I need to hear this on the radio." After that, colleagues, friends, family, and other students lol. I took that jump for him, he knew it would be my debut song. You have such a way with your words that allow for this song to jump out at us. Was there a particular moment that shaped the sounds we hear on “Just Say It?" The creative ProdbyDior actually went crazy on this. He could probably answer that better than I can. But whatever source he used to form the sounds, help structured the words and I’m forever grateful. Could you please share a glimpse into the creative process that you have come to fall into? I haven't quite found the words to describe it, so I can't share it with you just yet. But when I know I’ll be able to speak on it. What is your mission statement as an artist? What do you hope that your audience can take away from your music? I want to take you to a place you used to love. And when you hear my music you’ll get what I’m saying. I miss the old love songs and r&b I grew up on. I’m not writing the same but definitely paying homage. I wrote Just Say It with one thing in mind. & I told that to no one. So when they say it to me. I know my mission was accomplished. What's next for you? I’m going to release another single, and my EP will be released on Nov 11, 2021. 11/11. Also as I said earlier I used to be a theatre teacher, what’s next is filming, writing, and directing my own works and for others as well. Instagram

A warm welcome to BuzzMusic Da'Ante. The passion that you bear in “Demon” has us awestruck. Is there a specific moment that inspired you to take these thoughts and craft them into a song? Thank you so much! It’s one of the deepest thought-provoking songs I’ve written. A moment that really got me thinking was getting covid and being trapped in my apartment for 2 whole weeks. In that time I did a lot of unpacking within myself. Going back to my childhood trauma, past relationships, and friendships, me growing up gay and in the church, basically how everything I’ve gone through up to 24-year-old me has impacted or shaped me for better and for worse. I felt alone out here in LA all the way from Kentucky with no family just me. Reflecting on everything. My song “demon” is about the struggle between staying with the light and the dark, heaven and hell, God and the Devil. Throughout my life I have always run from religion because growing up gay I felt condemned. I’d cry in my closet praying god to take the gay away and make me normal. Wanting to be like other boys. Eventually, I just turned away from him. Understanding how it wasn’t him it was people. Their own inner demons telling them to hate me just so I can go down this dark path. Which I did I rebelled and let so many things happen to me that shouldn’t have all because of this void of love that I was trying to find. True acceptance. Even with all the “living my best life” moments I still felt unfulfilled. In college my best friend asked me to go to church with her I was not having it but I did anyway. Late I got in and he stopped me and said come to the front. I walked up and he put his hand in my head and spoke “You are going to have to make a choice to lead or be lead” that stuck with me till this day I cried in the middle and felt something I’ve never felt before. Had that similar moment here at pride weekend. I go out for the first time in forever and look around me as I’m dancing drinking and I have this epiphany as I looked around I saw a bunch of people like me running from something filling it with something else. Broken. Wanting Love and getting however they could. I just felt everyone’s void as I would look around. I got the feeling this wasn’t serving me anymore the going out 24/7 or the hooking up with a different guy every week. I wanted more. Then after that, I went home I got on the side of my bed and just prayed. The longest prayer I have ever prayed. I was crying and just confessing everything. Then the spiritual warfare crept in. The following week It was a fight for my soul I had stepped out of the path the demon in my ear had to lead me on and was shedding that & in a dream turn nightmare I heard “hell knew my name”. That dream prompted the song! Listen to it now with that in mind and the story plays out! Did you find it fairly easy or more difficult to be as vulnerable as you were during the creation process? Could you please share a glimpse of what this entailed? I felt it more difficult only because I didn’t know and still don’t know how this story I’m telling will be perceived. I’m exposing myself to criticism that cripples a person. I’m a gay man questioning being gay for what being gay is now. The sex, lies, drugs, loneliness, and discrimination within another minority group. Also being on a walk with God asking him to take away all my inequalities if they do not serve me. I’m asking for healing from the source. When many people don’t believe or are scared to because it forces them to potentially be wrong on anything they feel or think they know. I wrote this song as a cry for help to god with all the sins I’ve committed and having the demon in my ear tell me lies that I’ve been listening to all this time that hasn’t gotten me anywhere. I’m asking got to allow me to shed so I can be “Reborn” to lead. Compared to the previously released single ‘Loving You,’ what are some similarities and differences between bringing these visions to life? I would say they are alike and the same. They both tell a story about Love. “Loving you” was about a toxic relationship that I allowed myself to stay in because I felt validated in it. “Demon” is about a sacrificial love I’m asking God to give me after countless times of me turning my back on him and not throwing respect on his name but allowing the devil to lead me down dark paths. What is the main message that you hope to send out with the music you create? The main message with my music now and future to come is to tell your story no matter how it looks or how it sounds because no one can take your story away from you. That’s the one thing we have. I want to inspire authentic vulnerability and ask the questions we as humans don’t like to ask or are too afraid to do so. I think we lack human connection because there is so much fakeness going on in the world and we aren’t deeply connecting because were not telling our actual stories to connect with the people God has designed us to touch. We’re so focused on trying to impress and be liked but for the wrong reasons to love and help people. Everyone has a light that God instilled in them everything in this world was designed to dim them it's our job to protect it and allow it to shine even in the dark places to never let it dim. I think it’s time we start talking about the spiritual world and acknowledging life after and understanding angels and demons do exist. That there is so much to be seen but we’re are distracted and blinded we can’t see the unseen. I want my music to expose my journey and process because I believe one day my story will be somebody else’s survival guide. I’d say “God to god as a blank slate with no prejudgements or thoughts just go to him the way you are with your questions with your doubts and allow him to answer and change your broken heart” I did!
