Montreal-born singer-songwriter Tiffany Devonish began singing across Canada at the tender age of five. Currently residing in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, she taps into her inspirations such as Beyoncé, Jojo, and Tori Kelly, as she portrays her unique stylings. Exploring many styles of music including Pop as well as both classic and contemporary R&B, one thing remains the same, her soulful voice and youthful sound, doused in Tiffany Devonish’s authenticity. The divine essence of her most recent single “Dangerous Place,” has us copiously absorbed in the dark R&B soundscape that Tiffany Devonish has chosen to embark on in this particular soundscape. The melismatic universe that jolts us towards a broad spectrum of angelic timbres gently pulls us into the overall concept of this record the moment it introduces itself to us. “Dangerous Place,” has an intriguing mystery weaved throughout the harmonious flow gracing our ears. Tiffany Devonish is both entrancing and relatable, as the spellbinding waves of her voice bring the lyrical motifs to life. She has a knack for creating larger-than-life imagery to match the colossal impact her golden croons have; such as, ‘Aggressively passive, hardly reactive. I’m guarded when I’m around you,’ allow the message she conveys to be all too familiar when looking to place your trust within someone who holds your heart. The best thing you can do for yourself comes to the realization that they may not be good for you; or in the case of Tiffany Devonish, make a bolstering ballad about it and warn the rest of us. Genuinely permitting herself to get vulnerable with her audience, we will gladly take note of the red flags, and put Tiffany Devonish’s “Dangerous Place,” on repeat. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Tiffany Devonish. We love your new release, “Dangerous Place.” In your own words, what does this song mean to you? Where did you obtain the inspiration for its creation? Thank you for having me! This song means so much to me. I feel like I’m finding myself more and more as an artist and I think this song represents that. This song is also very personal, as I wrote it about a situation I was in at the time. My favorite part about songwriting is drawing inspiration from real-life experiences and working through those feelings artistically. I was able to use this song to fully process the situation and work through it. This song will always be a reminder of my own personal growth and I hope that anyone who listens to it feels the same. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from this masterpiece? I'm hoping that my audience can feel the authenticity behind my lyrics, and be able to relate to the song in their own way. The most exciting part about sharing your music is seeing how other people relate the lyrics to their own experiences. I think we’ve all been with someone and it was risky or dangerous for whatever reason. I hope that the audience can use this song to encourage their own growth in situations that are difficult. Could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process looked like when bringing this song to life? Did anyone assist you in making the vision of this song come through the way you pictured? My songwriting process starts far before I actually sit down to write. I write from real-life experiences and make sure to journal or make voice notes of how I’m feeling so that I have something to refer back to while I’m writing. During a writing session, I then pull from those notes to remind myself of what I was experiencing and how I really felt. I’m really lucky to work with very talented beat makers and producers who help me bring my vision to life. Touching on the subject matter of this song, how does it feel to have it released into the public? Does it feel as if a weight is lifted off of your shoulders? I was nervous to share this single because it’s so personal, but seeing everyone’s reaction has calmed my nerves quite a bit. It’s always such an anxiety-inducing thing, to create a song based on personal moments in your life, but releasing this song has made me realize that as a creator it’s important to step out of your comfort zone and just put yourself out there. Art is meant to be interpreted, critiqued, and experienced by the audience and I think this subjective nature should be celebrated and not feared. What's next for you? I’m so excited to share what I’ve been working on. I’ve been writing consistently over the past year and have created my favorite work to date. I’ll be releasing those singles soon, and hopefully, release my EP shortly after that. Instagram

On October 30th, 2020, We the Commas made their official independent debut with their EP, ‘SARB.’ Together the band of brothers Cam, Jordy, and Lenny Comma have coined the term SARB (Surf Alternative R&B), to describe their unique sound. Their resonance and panache have since been applauded by the likes of Young the Giant, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Pink Sweat$, among others. Inspired by the warm sand and the inviting waves they cherish, the trio’s music encapsulates their stories as brothers living on the coast of San Diego. Kicking it into high gear with the warmth and playful tones dedicated to a summer vibration, We the Commas infuse their lighthearted personas with cascading guitar riffs, enticing trap drum patterns, and a compelling buoyancy that pulsates through the grooves of the 808’s in their latest single “BETTER DAYS.” Being exclusive to their sophomore EP ‘OLD SCHOOL LOVE,’ this record breathes in the crisp ocean air with their inimitable sound of Surf Alternative R&B. Coming from a place in their minds and hearts where they aim to reiterate an important message to their audience, we delve into a buttery vocalization from We the Commas that sends out the reminder that no matter what you’re going through, there will always be better days ahead. There’s more to the dynamic trio than meets the eye. You hear how their alluring nature allows the spellbinding essence of their talents pulls their fan base in with a gravitational pull like no other. They have a specific method to their madness where what they put down on paper, and then in the studio comes out as a vibrant canvas filled with a narrative and imagery to match the grander scheme of their artistic virtuoso. “BETTER DAYS,” may fit into the simmering tropical atmosphere that We the Commas carries out so well, but the way they address relevant topics and a sincere approach to those listening reside in the waves of limitless good intentions. Welcome to BuzzMusic, We the Commas, and congratulations on the release of “BETTER DAYS,” off of your EP, ‘OLD SCHOOL LOVE.’ With such an intricate soundscape to shape an important message, was there a particular moment when all clicked for the idea of this song to be born? Jordon: It’s safe to say that 2020 had many trials and tribulations. "Better days" is a reminder that although we face adversity, there is always hope for a brighter future. The dynamic that you all share is truly remarkable. We hear the chemistry through the speakers. Could you please take us into what each of you contributed to this song and EP in the workflow? Jordon: It’s a very collaborative, organic process from the ground up. Each of us writes our own lyrics and works together to make sure it’s one cohesive story. We’re all musicians, and we’ve been playing music together since we were kids. Lenny and Cam play guitar and I play drums/percussion. We all sing as well. Being your sophomore EP release, what differences did you find in bringing this project to the public, versus your last EP? Cam: It’s always exciting for us to release music! We enjoy giving people a further look into SARB. So far we’ve gotten a lot of great feedback on both projects we’ve released so far which is an awesome feeling. What was it like working with Jack Thornton, Ted Chung, and Chris Rosa, in order to bring this vision to life? It was an amazing experience. Each person involved brought something to the table. Jack is a producer from San Diego who produced this new EP with us all. Jack’s one of our best friends and it was super dope to finally release music with him. It was an honor to work on this with Ted Chung and Chris Rosa who both also have so much experience in the music industry. What's next for you? We’re gonna continue to create new music and we’re excited to start performing again now that things are opening up. Instagram Facebook

Residing in Copenhagen, raLf.mp3 is an artist who has spent more time on bedroom productions than his studies as a law student. Playing the piano for the past four years, raLf.mp3 has finally decided to take the plunge into releasing his debut single and show the world the creativity that has been brewing. Getting his audience ready for the warmth of the summer heat, raLf.mp3 turns our attention to “A LITTLE LONGER.” Through an atmospheric realm that pulls you in and releases you like a gentle wave crashing, we get a striking exploration of encouraging expressions within the tantalizing hues showcased in the instrumentation. As the vocal approach fixates upon heavily textured distortion and a reverberated chamber to act as its vessel, we can’t help but to mesmerizingly swim into the array of sounds as they blanket you in their laidback delivery. raLf.mp3 created “A LITTLE LONGER” in this newfound world that Earth has seen since the pandemic. Holding this piece close to his heart, he remains hopeful that his audience will pick up the notions of this tribute that goes out to those who have been holding on, and continue to do so in a time of uncertainty. How raLf.mp3 can artistically express the essence of togetherness and compassion in his music is truly remarkable for a debut release. It holds a specific maturity in the way his creativity forms upon important subject matter, while he carries his art out with the same integrity he intended. We encourage everyone to get lost in the cascading flow of raLf.mp3 and take in the illuminating light that is guiding you through your tunnels and paths. Welcome to BuzzMusic, raLf.mp3, and congratulations on your debut release of “A LITTLE LONGER.” With your various experiments in bedroom production, how did you know that this specific song would be your debut? Were there any other contenders for this slot? THANK YOU, guys, and thanks for having me. It's an absolute pleasure to be here. There were many other contenders for the slot, yes!! For the 4 years, I’ve spent as much time on my bedroom productions as I have on my law studies. I’ve always produced and played with the only purpose of creating and getting better and better every day- not with the eye of releasing music. So yeah, as you mentioned, there are many options and my library is starting to get huge. But there was just this special feeling about “A LITTLE LONGER” from the beginning of the creation on it. It is hard to describe, but it was actually quite easy for me to reach the decision, that this specific song should be my debut. The song is warm, the lyrics fit the current world situation (we need to hold on a little longer) and could be relatable for many.. also, the vibe is just uuuff. At that time the (April) summer was on its way here in Denmark, so when dreaming about people chilling in the sun to this song, it actually felt that releasing it was the only possible outcome for that project. Once I finished it, it was sent to my distributor for release. Could you please share a glimpse into what the creative process looked like when bringing “A LITTLE LONGER” to life? How long did it take you to complete this track? For sure… Normally every project starts out with me just playing around on my keyboard. A LITTLE LONGER was actually an exception since the keys are sampled from an old recording of mine but from another project. The song consists of surprisingly few tracks and the simplicity of the song allowed me to complete the track in about a week. In general, when speaking of how long time it takes to finish a song, for me, it really depends on the project. Sometimes I’m overthinking everything and it takes weeks, and sometimes I get it going and creates a song in two days. I like both ways of working, and it comes quite naturally to me what kind of process it ends up being. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from your messaging in the music you plan to put out? We all know that absolutely beautiful feeling when listening to a new song you don't know, that just sweeps you off your feet. you feel it in your body, and you just can't stop listening. You feel good and you forget everything else. I dream of giving my listeners that beautiful feeling and make them forget everything else for around 3 minutes. And I hope that someone will integrate my music into their daily day, just like I do it with all of my heroes. There are no higher purpose, specific messages, or agenda. For me, it’s all about letting go of myself and my fears share what I create from now, and hopefully involve others in the process. How will your forthcoming single, ‘Dazed,’ tie into this release? I really think DAZED (listen here: sptfy.com/a9TF) will fit in well with the release of A LITTLE LONGER. Both songs are very patient, which is something I’m truly am a fan of. DAZED is a bit more bipolar and progressive. It kinda got to lives; where the first half is building you up and where everything melts together in the second. Instagram

I'm older and I've been and seen and things which really makes it easy to write about. The changes in my music I have noticed a lot. My sound is definitely different for me, I don't sound the same which is a good thing, it means growth and I'm hoping that people who hear my music and been hearing my music feels the same way as well.

Throw yourself into the fire of Wyatt Olney & The Wreckage's third studio album, 'Silver Bullet,' available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Wyatt Olney & The Wreckage. We're genuinely impressed with your thorough transitions, relatable concepts, and blazing soundscapes within your recent album 'Silver Bullet.' Did anything, in particular, inspire the making of this album? Thanks for having us BuzzMusic! We appreciate it! It is interesting because initially, we really wanted to make an album that centered around mental illness and the struggles that many of us face. Songs that speak to those inner demons that we all work to maintain control of. As we approached the completion of the record, the pandemic began to rage, it almost felt like it transformed into an album about hope, perseverance, and unity. Supporting each other and loving each other as bandmates and brothers through the apocalypse really changed the energy that I hear when I listen to this body of work. When did you begin creating tracks for the album 'Silver Bullet?' How long was the entire album in the making? We began tracking the record in August of 2019. We finished tracking the final song in June of 2020. It really feels like a snapshot of a year in our lives, as the world drastically changed around us. We began creating this with so much hope and wind behind us, then we watched our entire industry crumble and the world stopped turning for a while there. That became even more fuel to create something profound and meaningful. Who handled the songwriting for your album 'Silver Bullet?' Was this a collective process? How did your band narrow down the themes and concepts you wanted to deliver? Typically, Wyatt will bring in a "skeleton" of a song that we all build upon it and twist into a sharper weapon. However, on this record, there were songs like "Allegory" and "Burn It Down" that was written on the spot in our rehearsal studio and completely found an organic vibe instantly. As far as the concepts and themes of the record, our goal was to deliver something brutally honest. Our previous album was such a cool, flashy album that we really wanted to write something painful, real, and almost uncomfortable. We wanted to find a place that we were scared to go and run as fast as we could into the darkness. We feel like we really captured that inner struggle on 'Silver Bullet.' What was your collaborative process like when working with producer Don Gunn when creating 'Silver Bullet?' Don Gunn is definitely the 5th member of this band. This is our 3rd album working with him and he just - gets us. He knew exactly where we were going and really helped bring out the fire in each of us. He helped us dial in a sound that felt very defiant against what is musically popular at the moment. The majority of modern rock albums have all the same program drum samples and autotune all over them. We wanted a record with 100% real drums, real amps, and real vocal imperfections. We wanted something that was in direct opposition with the overly-polished sound you hear on every record these days. Don was able to take that and run with it. We can't imagine making a record without him. How does your album 'Silver Bullet' represent your band and the themes you often deliver? How does the album give listeners a better idea of who you are? 'Silver Bullet' really felt like our chance to speak our souls. Making this record together really helped us grow as human beings. Several of us had just come out of some really dark patches of life and rather than hide the struggle and the suffering, we found that it would mean more to put it on display. We all struggle. We all fight to carry on at times when things feel hopeless. Maybe if we openly address it rather than putting some cheeky "Rock N Roll" veneer over it, the people who hear it can feel more understood and less alone. This is us, naked and embracing vulnerability, and we couldn't be prouder of it. What's next for you? Probably an extended stay in a fancy rehab center or something... **laughs** Honestly, we just want to continue spreading this art as far as it can possibly go. To keep creating a soundtrack for people's lives. To help people feel understood and identified within their darkest moments. We are blessed and lucky to do what we do and we are going to keep heading down this road until the pavement ends. Instagram Facebook

Get down and dirty with Juice-Z's banger of a single, "Cheeks," available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Juice-Z. We love the upbeat and sweltering vibe of your latest single, "Cheeks." What inspired you to create a song perfect for those heated club nights? - Once I heard the instrumental "Cheeks" I knew that I would make a club banger after my head kept uncontrollably bobbing. I came up with the chorus randomly by locking myself in my room with the instrumental playing on a loop through the app Tully. I have always wanted to make a song that resulted in twerking, and "Cheeks" happens to fulfill that desire. Who handled the production for your recent hit, "Cheeks?" How did you create the sonics to be so engaging and dominant? The production was handled by PavenMelody and the sound engineering was done by Emmanuel El-Helou. After listening to "Cheeks", I realized at that very moment, the crickets and bass were the heart of the song. We made changes of increasing the volume of the crickets and adjusting the bass, at that very moment a masterpiece was born. Do you usually create such exciting, playful, and anthemic tracks like "Cheeks"? Is this a staple for your brand? I like to experiment with sound and varying genres. Although R&B and Hip Hop are my favorites. I had so much fun making cheeks and look forward to making more fun tracks like it. It's absolutely a staple for my brand, but I'm also a highly adaptable artist that's able to create content in any genre. I'd like to consider myself limitless. Since you have five released singles under your belt, do you have any plans to create an EP or album in the near future? Absolutely, I am currently working on my EP, which will be an open letter of my past experiences that contributed to my growth. After my EP is released of course I am going to bless my fans with an album, it's only right! What's next for you? Currently, I have some exciting events coming up that I will be announcing on social media as well as my podcast website: https://www.thejuice-zpodcast.com/. I have visuals coming soon for Marathon( Run It Up), Come Thru, Cheeks, and many more to come. I'm currently building my brand and aim to launch my record label Juice-Z Entertainment, an inclusive label that specifically promotes LGBTQI+ artists, but will not exclude anyone who does not identify with the community. I will also be performing and touring shortly, so please stay tuned. Instagram

So I reached out to Joko Magic whose work I've always admired What was it like working together with Joko Magic, and Samuel G on the production? Did the vision come to life the way you imagined? It was nothing but good vibes. honestly, Samuel G is such a great and talented producer. His creativity levels are on a whole new planet. Joko Magic on the other hand was really fun to work with too. funny and upbeat. A very talented Saxophonist, I was actually buzzing with anticipation and excitement when I sent her the song to work on. I said to her "do your thing Joko" Less than 24 hours she sent that dope sax. It's crazy, it's like she knew exactly what was on my mind. It was everything I imagined. Also, a big shout out to my engineer Yann Gabriel who arranged and mixed the track. Could you please shine a light on the onset experience of this track? We love the music video! It had us hooked through simplicity. It fit the vibe perfectly. Yeah, Frostbite Films came through on that one. It was shot on the 27th of February 2021. Bywater street. In Chelsea (West London ), it had been a cold week throughout but on the day of the shoot, the weather changed and it felt like summer. We had such a great time shooting it. Good energy and good vibes all around. The residents on the street we shot it loved it too especially the Saxophone part. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from “I Need Your Love?" I'm hoping it uplifts them. I hope they do enjoy the song, the creativity, and the concept. We all need love and I definitely theirs. Instagram

Black$tar is one of Calgary’s Hip-hop heavy-hitters. Born in Calgary, Canada, Black$tar is influenced by different cultures and genres being of Jamaican descent but strongly involved in Alternative, Pop-Punk, and Rock music and culture. He became infatuated by the melodies, as he would memorize vocal and drum patterns, and would later move on to the piano. In 2011 he fell in love with Hip-hop after listening to the likes of T.I, Lupe Fiasco, and Mac Miller, and his journey carried on from there. His most recent album, ‘Holy,’ is home to the vibrant single, “Hold On (feat. theCORE).” Exemplifying dark instrumentation that plays upon delicately chugging guitar riffs, the deep and soothing vocal performance courtesy of Black$tar has us caught up in the repetitious grooves provided. There’s a rhythmic appeal that leaps from the speakers as we delve into the lyrical motifs that Back$tar reiterates. ‘Gotta hold on,’ is the mesmerizing series of words that continues to pop up throughout this piece. Exuding the stability and strength it takes to hold on, even though it seems that the devil is working against you, Black$tar allows his train of thought to resonate with his fan base across the globe. The moment that theCORE presents himself on the second verse of “Hold On,” we understand the reason that Black$tar chose to recruit him for this song. They both carry forth a solidified confidence that oozes into their performance while they complement each other’s skill set for the best. With such a brilliant contrast of genres blended into one track, we get to see how the versatility of Black$tar thrives in the realms he places himself into. “Hold On (feat. theCORE),” redefines what works together in music, and has Black$tar shining brightly in a lane of his own. Hello Black$tar, and welcome to BuzzMusic, We love the message that you put into “Hold On (feat. theCORE).” How did you both come to collaborate on this project? What was it like working with one another to see your vision prosper? The collab on this specific track was easy to get a hold of because theCORE Is my older brother so I just called him and asked for help with the chorus because I was having trouble trying to come up up with a catchy chorus that has meaning behind the words. It's easy working with my brother because he has a different mindset when it comes to writing we're both respected artists so we respect each other's views on each other's songs. It's a lot easier to work with family than with other artists. In your own words, what does “Hold On (feat. theCORE),” mean to you? What allows it to be the standout track from this album? The song "Hold On" to me means to hold on to whatever you believe in, whatever your beliefs in hold onto that when times get hard. I grew up in the church since I was a kid so I still hold onto those beliefs. I also lost a close relative close to the time of writing this song so it was a motivation song to keep going to myself really, but I hope it helps a lot more people around the world just as it helped me. It's a stand-out track on my album "Holy" because I'm known for my rap & R&B music and a lot of people would label "Hold On" as a pop-rock song so I had a different mindset when it came to writing this specific song. How does it feel to have the album, ‘Holy,’ out in the ears of the public? What is your main inspiration behind this piece of work? It feels amazing I've worked on that album for about a year so to be able to get it out with no complications is just awesome and i gotta give a huge shoutout to my team and UnitedMasters for being clutch with a drop! The main inspiration behind my alum "Holy" was I started off as a Christian Artist but through time swayed away from that and started making worldly music gained a massive following and even got my song in NBA 2K 21 this year opened up for numerous artists such as Lil Nas X, the late Juice WRLD & Even Rich Homie Quan. But for the longest time, I always wanted to make another Christian album and remembered myself making a promise that my next album will be a Christian album so I was finally able to make the album and it's honestly one of my favorite projects I ever made! What is your mission statement as an artist? How do you ensure you place that into everything that you do? My mission statement is just to be myself I'm not tryna chase any sound or be someone I'm, not I make the music I want and based on how I feel. I make music for all the kids that have a dream but then have someone ruin it with words and negativity cause I've been there having family and friends even teachers tell me that I was wasting my time or if I had a plan b cause if you put the work in and have faith anything can happen. I'm forming a small town in Calgary Alberta and I was able to get my song in a multi-million platform game. I live what I write back in my SoundCloud days I was referred to as the sad rapper because I was always talking about breakups because I rap what I've been through I'm just being a real artist showing the world Turrell Black even tho they know me as Black$tar. What's next for you? Next, me and the team are back in the studio getting ready for an EP in the works. Live shows and we recently dropped 'HOLY.' Merch on our website now! Instagram
