Welcome back to BuzzMusic, Fame-ous Barz. What an experience you've provided with your debut 12-track album, 'My Ambitions Life or Death, Vol. 1.' When did you begin writing tracks for this project? How long was it in the making? Thanks for having me BuzzMusic!! I feel like you guys are family, thank you. It was ten years in the making but the recording process for the album took two years to record because I was surrounded by so much chaos envy and jealousy from the closest ones to me, but betrayal is a blessing with time the lord will reveal who's really with you. So the authenticity of music is really there were real-life situations that almost cost me my life and my freedom but I survived those battles to give you guys what I feel is a classic. Which track off the album, 'My Ambitions Life or Death, Vol. 1,' is your personal favorite? Is there a specific track that stands out to you? I honestly can't pick one because each track serves as a testament to my journey to get here but there are a few that stand out: "No More pain featuring Rainna Celeste," "My Ambitions Life Or Death Intro," "The Price of Fame," and "Never Can I Say Goodbye." Could you expand on the 11th track within your album, 'My Ambitions Life or Death, Vol. 1.?' Who were you emotionally rapping about within "Never Can I Say Good Bye?" "Never Can I Say Good Bye" is a tribute song to my Grandmother Clara Mae Moore, the woman who raised me there were a lot of missing pieces that didn't make sense to me about her passing and I never got a chance to say goodbye to her. I felt like I was directly talking to her on that track. I was saying all the things that I never got a chance to say to her, and how thankful I was to have her in my life, and how much she meant to me in that song. If listeners could take one thing away from your entire album, 'My Ambitions Life or Death, Vol. 1,' what would you want that to be? That no matter the circumstances or odds that are against, you can overcome them through faith in God and The Lord, and believing in yourself. Never give up.

Manchester's alt-rock four-piece Fauna strikes again with the release of their exciting and relatable fourth studio single entitled "Didn't Wanna." Comprised of brothers Adam and Danny Williams, Thomas Pine, and Charlie Howarth, Fauna started their venture playing cover gigs until establishing their own unique sound. Since then, their sound began spilling out of Manchester's grassroots mecca and Brunswick Mill, leading us to the release of their latest single, "Didn't Wanna." Elaborating on "Didn't Wanna," Fauna had this to say, "'Didn't Wanna' was written over lockdown when we all wanted to go for a pint to find a fragment of joy in the situations we naturally recall as good times, but in reality, they never lived up to expectation. The single encapsulates being surrounded by people and wanting nothing more than to go home." Listening to the single, "Didn't Wanna," the track opens with Adam and Danny Williams brightening the song's atmosphere with their beaming electric guitar melodies. Once lead vocalist Danny Williams begins serenading us with his smooth and melodic vocals, Fauna's entire instrumentation starts jamming away with nuances to 90s alt-rock. Not to mention Thomas Pine's crisp percussion transitions accompanied by Charlie Harworth's thumping basslines, the band's overall instrumentation is incredibly tight and clean, letting us grasp and take in each thrilling transition and tempo change. As Danny Williams leads us towards the outro with lyrics that expand on the inner desire to flee the bar scene when his prior expectations weren't met, we can't help but nod our heads in agreement with his heavily relatable lyricism. Find a piece of yourself in Fauna's recent single, "Didn't Wanna," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Instagram Facebook

Music is a window into the soul, and Brandon Wade is looking out of that window, searching for where his soul belongs. Using it as a poetic journal, he hopes to find out more about himself, as well as the world around him through his music. 2021 has been an eye-opening year. In the aftermath of 2020, introspection was required for so many people. For Brandon Wade, the past 18 months have forced him to look deep into the meaning of his relationships, mental and physical health, and place in society. As he searches for the answers to these situations, he uses his music to process and chronicle his experiences. Coming at his listeners with a beautifully crafted single titled, “How to Love,” the piano forward ballad introduces us to a zealous surplus of grippingly raw emotion. Honing in on the empowering overlay of the chord progressions heard in the instrumentation, we find ourselves drifting into an almost ethereal realm of thought-provoking resonance. Brandon Wade’s intimate timbres reflect on a narrative that concludes his past mistakes, and lessons learned in the themes of love. The manner in which his soothing vocals cascade through heavenly notes in order to portray the grand scheme of vulnerability that he offers up is rather breathtaking. Through layers of harmonious bliss, you hear the sincerity dripping from each lyrical motif that Brandon Wade conveys, as the poetic essence of his songwriting techniques acts as a letter to the one that he couldn’t keep in his endearing reach. What we admire the most about this profound masterpiece has to be the fact that Brandon Wade croons these heartrending lyrics where his vocals can be heard in the front and center of the top-tier mix. Keeping the tantalizing hues of the musical foundation rather minimalistic, our attention can be devoted to the sentiments expressed in the earnest showcase of Brandon Wade’s self-reflections. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Brandon Wade, and congratulations on the release of “How to Love.” We love the display of emotion that you convey through your vulnerability. With such personal thoughts and feelings being dissected, was there a particular moment or story that allowed you to open up the way you have on this track? I have always wondered how relationships end. As a kid, I would see a lot of couples come and go and it seemed strange to me that people who claim to love each other just stop one day. When I started writing "How To Love", it began as an answer to that question. It may not be that there was no love in the relationship; it could simply be that the love was not enough to keep them together. There is so much more to being with someone than simply having feelings for them. You have to make the effort to truly get to know them and sacrifice a little of yourself to make room for them. If either of you is not willing to do this, the relationship will not succeed. With "How to Love", I looked back at the beginning of the relationship to ask myself, "why didn't this work?" If I truly felt love for them, what happened to where we ended up in this situation? Was the love a lie? I think that is the biggest question I have had to ask myself regarding this song. Could you please take us into the creative process that brought this record to life? Did you have to transport yourself to various states of mind, or did this song flow fairly easily to you? This is one of the few songs I have written that started off as a chord progression. I was playing around with chords on the piano and as I played I could hear phrases in my head. That's where the opening line came from. From there much of the song came together rather fast. Once I had a theme in mind, the words pretty much wrote themselves. Your vocals are outstanding! We felt that we could digest each word shed in such a meaningful way. Have you ever taken vocal lessons along the way of your artistic journey? Where did your ear for music originally stem from? I have never had one-on-one vocal lessons. I have been a part of some award-winning choirs under the direction of extremely gifted directors. I went to school for music performance and composition and I have a lot of that to thank for my ear. But, even before college, I have always loved harmonizing and singing. I have been blessed to work with some very talented musicians and teachers that have given me invaluable knowledge regarding music, harmonizing, and other techniques involving music that I use in my vocals and other parts of my productions. What is your mission statement as an artist? How do you ensure that comes across in each move that you make? My mission statement as an artist is to inspire those who may feel alone. For many years, I have been a shy person, scared of branching out in the world for fear I wouldn't find anyone or anything to relate to. It has been through music that I have learned that many of my experiences are shared throughout the world. Lyrics are powerful devices. The way that some artists embrace their surroundings captivates me as an artist and one day I hope to be able to light to someone who can listen to my music and understand that there are others out there who go through similar things. These hindrances and struggles don't have to define or control us, but we can use them to find out the best parts of ourselves. Do you have any other releases planned for the summer season? I am still working on several projects at the moment and would love to be able to put out another song before the end of the summer. But, I am being very careful not to force anything and not to do too much too soon. Burnout is a real struggle, especially among new artists, and I would love to be able to enjoy putting music out for years to come rather than just a few months. There will be new music so stay tuned. Instagram Twitter

Un’tld! Congratulations on the release of your latest single “No Way.” The energy that you put into this record has it honing in on all trademarks of a hit song! When creating the lyrics, what was the inspiration behind your cadences and rhyme schemes? When I was writing the lyrics, I didn’t take much inspiration from anything because I wanted It to be as original as possible. Once I heard the beat, I knew I wanted the song to slap! So I focused on keeping the rhyme schemes interesting and switching them up to keep people engaged, after I figured that out I just had to match that energy in the booth. In your own words, what does “No Way,” mean to you? What are you hoping that your audience will take away from it? To me “No Way” means I’m getting more serious, music has always been a passion of mine and I’ve always taken it seriously but I felt like the people around me weren’t taking me as seriously so I wrote about it. The message I want people to take away from it is “stay confident and keep working”. Nothing is impossible when you put the time and effort into your goals, and when people tell you otherwise you just tell them No way! Let’s get into the music video! We absolutely loved taking it in. There was also something different grabbing our attention. What was it like filming the visuals? Are there any scenes that stand out as your favorite? Filming the video was a lot of fun working with Cristian and Dolly Dummies was a great experience. We came into the shoot with treatment for the video but we still ended up coming up with some of the shots on the day of, I feel like that helped to keep the video fun and creative. I would say my favorite scenes are the newspaper scene, because of how long it took us to get it right but every moment was hilarious. And definitely, the scene of me hanging out the car rapping, it was cool driving up and down the street blasting my song and getting those shots, while other cars and people watching were reacting to it so it was just a crazy vibe overall. With each artist being different from one another, what is the main goal you have in place with the messaging and emotion in your music? My main goal is to make music that people can relate to. I want to be able to speak for people who go through the same things that I do but aren’t able to express it for themselves What's next for you? Next for me is more music, more videos, more shows, and just more content overall. I plan on releasing a project soon but until then I want people to know that pressure is being applied and they should be expecting more from me in the future. Instagram

Influenced by the likes of Marina and Lana Del Ray, Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Cenzina is the type of artist that intends to deliver powerful messages through moody vocals.

In a recent interview with BuzzMusic, Cenzina described the thoughts behind the lyrical density of her recent single “COLLIDE.” The poetic songwriter noted “writing this song was a little like remote viewing my own anxieties and inner worlds; dancing with the monsters in and mysterious worlds inside my mind. My intent was to make light of a dark place, and take my listeners on a journey with me into that space, hoping they might feel seen there too. We all have insecurities and fears, ultimately we have a choice: to ride, make friends with our monsters or collide and feel like we are drowning.” Discover the full interview with Cenzina, here.
