Zelden is a singer-songwriter reigning from Massachusetts. She comes from a musical family where her father played drums as well as sang in church, and her grandfather played guitar and piano, often humoring her as she tirelessly jammed to the demo Nutcracker track on his keyboard as a kid. Her music is centered on emotions and harmonies. Each artistic choice she makes, like the dissonant harmonies or layered vocals, they are deliberate in an effort to convey the story in her head or point she is trying to get across. Zelden is influenced by alternative artists such as Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Bring Me The Horizon as she carries a touch of contemporary R&B from the sound of Jojo and melodies from video games soundtracks. Wrapping listeners in a colossal atmosphere that exudes glimmers of delicate timbres in an overall empowering essence, Zelden is fresh off the release of her single “Silver Tongue.” Mystery weaves itself in this power ballad that pulls from various genres in the inclusive quintessence of the melodies heard. The tumultuous guitar riffs that grace the instrumentation linger in the surroundings of this soundscape by adding textured dimension to the somber ambiance of the prominent piano chords performed in “Silver tongues.” Rock n roll geared percussion keeps the sound of this record rhythmically boisterous as Zelden sprawls her angelic finesse to the vocalization captured. There are hues of intimacy radiated in the vulnerable narrative that is depicted. “I am more than this. More than all, the pain and selfishness” is the lyrical motif that hurdles itself from the chorus as we break down the agony and passion heard in Zelden’s poignant enactment. The limits explored by her artistry are uncanny. Zelden creates a victorious soundscape that rises from the ashes like a phoenix as she reveals a genuine version of the hurt she uses to build her kingdom of perseverance. “Silver Tongue” sets Zelden in a category of her own as she continues to establish her name. You carry forth such a unique blend of genres that solidify your sound as an artist. How long did it take for you to discover your sound that listeners know and love? Thank you for having me. To be honest, I don’t think I just have one sound. Whatever I write comes out as its own being so I may start with one genre but end up in others like Indie Rock and maybe even Pop in the future. “Silver Tongue” is my first release and presents itself as Pop Rock, but I wasn’t sure of its sound until I heard Bring Me The Horizon’s “Parasite Eve”. I was so incredibly inspired by its darker tones and powerful melodies that I wanted to emulate it in some respect with my own style and story. The two works are incredibly different, of course, but that was the direction Silver Tongue was pointing in. So I’m not sure how long it took to get my sound. I think I’m still finding it. In “Silver Tongue,” we’re introduced to a vulnerable side of yourself in the lyrics you perform. What inspired the theme of this song? What does it mean to you as an artist and individual? “Silver Tongue” was inspired by a really toxic relationship I had growing up. I was in a long relationship with someone that I found out was lying to me and probably lying to himself for years. He was emotionally abusive and often blamed me, pinning me as “the crazy one”. I got really hurt by this and it took years for me to realize that there was nothing wrong with me. “Silver Tongue” was inspired by the fact that this person felt as though they could talk themselves into or out of any situation and this song was created to call them out on their BS while also raising me up to realize I was worth more than that relationship. As a person, this song means I can finally be honest and open about what I went through, which is something I was always too scared to do. As an artist, this song paves way for the rest of the parts of me I hid for so long after that relationship. This song solidified the right for me to be myself. Do you find that the music scene in Massachusetts has shaped the way you construct your artistry? The Massachusetts music scene does affect the way I construct my music. I’ve only ever performed small shows at local cafes and bars but those experiences were amazing and super humbling. I have so many talented friends I get to watch perform on stage and I admire their talent so much. Artists like Kris Musto of Hyber, George Wyntr, Papi Xampeux, and so many others who are unabashedly themselves on stage have fueled my passion for music. Without them, I wouldn’t have thought making music and putting it out like this was possible. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from the messaging heard in “Silver Tongue?" I hope that listeners will relate to how I felt years ago in Silver Tongue. There will be a special demographic of people who will know exactly what I am talking about and have their “aha!” moment like I did when I heard Hayley Williams’ “Simmer” and Selena Gomez’s “Look at Me Now”. Those songs helped me feel less alone. I want my song to do the same. If anyone ever finds themselves in a situation like I did, listen to your gut and talk to others about your experience no matter how much you’re scared to. You deserve the world. What's next for you? More music! I have so many songs written to be produced that I cannot wait to share. So look out for an EP in the coming future. Instagram Facebook

Throwing it back to memories when you were 17 makes for a remarkable listening experience. What inspired you to write “When I Was 17?" Hi BuzzMusic! Thank you so much for having me! About two years ago, Zack, my producer, sent me beautiful guitars and for some reason, they immediately took me back to 2015. It was the year I moved away from home to study abroad in London. It brought back so many feelings and I knew that I had to write about it. It didn’t really fit our sound at the time, so we decided to put the guitars on hold for a while. When the time came for me to choose my first single as a solo artist, I knew it had to be this song. "When I was 17" allows me to introduce myself in an open and honest way. How do you find that this song compares to the release of ‘1304?' Did you find any differences in the creative process at all? My producer and I started our journey together as a duo. We loved working on our first EP, which was '1304,' but we knew we wanted to be more open and honest in the way we create. '1304' was almost like a coming of age, exploring the possibilities we had feeding off of each other’s creativity. Those were all songs we wrote during our time at our university. Since then we’ve both matured and we’ve gotten to know ourselves better. As a solo artist, I really get to be myself in my songs. They directly reflect real-life experiences. What do you use as your musical and non-musical muse’s in the narratives that you paint with your lyrics? I have always been an introvert, which sometimes made it difficult for me to be sociable or make friends. Now as a songwriter all I’m really trying to do is connect with people through my songs. So the single most important thing for me is honesty. I try to be as honest as possible when I’m writing so most inspiration comes from real-life experiences. Musically, I have always been a big fan of Taylor Swift and Julia Michaels, their songwriting always feels so real, which is what I try to achieve with my songs as well. You mention that this release is foreshadowing what’s to come for you artistically. What do listeners have in store in terms of sounds and themes explored in imminent releases? I think "when I was 17” perfectly sets the tone for the type of artist I try to be in terms of songwriting. Sonically I think they can expect chill pop music with extra seasoning. What's next for you? I am always writing songs and I don’t think that will change anytime soon. I hope to release more music this year and eventually, in the future, an album. Instagram

Hailing from the Southwest area of Sweden is a Producer and Audio Engineer, Dyvaile. Teaching himself all he needs to know about the music industry, combined with his family influence, Dyvaile has set out to craft luscious soundscapes full of urban and old-school stylings. Having an intense interest and burning passion for music, Dyvaile has overcome each barrier in his way of being an artist, and today he's releasing quality tracks full of illuminating flavor. The latest track that Dyvaile has released upon listeners is titled "Sexual Chemistry," and the introduction is very serene, setting an incredibly stimulating environment. The heavy integration of melodic piano stylings, combined with Dyvaile's smooth and sultry vocalism, is what makes "Sexual Chemistry" able to live up to its name. Dyvaile has a persona that creates calmness, never accentuating his vocal performance in a way that can break that level of relaxation and focus. We can almost call "Sexual Chemistry" an eclectic take on the Soul/Jazz music culture, as Dyvaile intricately embeds a surplus of components from each. "Sexual Chemistry" is extremely layered, so get ready to pull back each and every layer in order to expose yourself to the various eccentric talents that Dyvaile has to offer. Hello Dyvaile and welcome to BuzzMusic. "Sexual Chemistry'" has erotic and sensual energy. How do you ensure that such an ambiance is instilled into listeners when they're listening to the track? When I put on tracks that inspire me and that I like for such an environment, I basically get that energy from Sexual Chemistry, so I think that the listener to this track will experience the same feel as I do. It has a lot of elements that make a person get that sexual lust and imagination. The lyrics, the production, and the tempo fits perfectly for some bedroom action or at least takes you on an imaginary trip for it. Were there any reservations you had during the writing and recording process of "Sexual Chemistry?" Which is one way that the creation of the song challenged you artistically? I've made the beat for this song in like 2016 and have actually been re-writing the lyrics and re-recorded the song like 3 times. I wasn't happy with the outcome at first but I felt that the production was just so nice so I couldn't let it down. I feel that some songs just have to kind of "marinate" for a while until they reach the point where it is supposed to be. I didn't have a studio at the moment where I lived either so it made it a little difficult as I carried my recording equipment from home to a hotel in Gothenburg where I recorded the final version at the time, and let me add that it was during winter too. But I made it work and I'm very satisfied with the results. Living in Sweden, how do you feel that the music scene there aids in the progression and success of your own music? Sweden is a great country in many ways but I haven't really felt that it has affected my career that much yet. I got a lot of influences from our Swedish folk composers and poets, musically, for the traditional sounds that it has that's really reflecting our beautiful nature and environment but I've always been much more influenced by the American music scene and culture. I lived in Los Angeles between 2017 and 2019 and that experience made me grow a lot musically and also as a person. The Swedish music scene is still very big and I know it has a good reputation internationally so we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Within the developing world of music how do you feel that your sound integrates into, and what place do you feel you have artistically within the music industry? I've always seen my place within the industry to be more alternative and underground as I think that's where you can be more who you really are without having to adapt to what is just popular. But the roots in what I'm doing still comes back to a more Hip-Hop and R&B sound as I like that type of arrangement, where you can still play with so many different sounds, tempos, and rhythms. I'm very open to new music and I like to explore new genres and sounds. You never know what you can run upon and a great way to explore new music is to go record shopping, which is something I really enjoy doing. I think it's very important to be creative and expressive the way you want without having anybody to tell you what to do and I feel that's also what will bring you most satisfied with the outcome of what you create musically. instagram.com/dyvaile facebook.com/dyvaile

We are loving the latest single, “HolaHello.” Could you please take us into what inspired the fierce energy we’re receiving from this track? You guys always make me feel right at home. I wasn’t trying to be fierce, just direct. LOL. How does the creative process of “HolaHello,” compare to other songs that you’ve written in the past? Did you find it fairly easy to execute? Ironically, “Hola Hello” was a little easier to write but I think it’s because I’m always in that type of situation. The one where it’s like we are both saying the same thing in different languages. I just hope that no matter how I say it you get the meaning. You wear many hats in your genre of music and you always keep us on our toes with the content that you write about. Do you have a favorite subject to dissect in your lyrics? First off, thank you for even taking an interest in my music and I can’t believe you guys read the lyrics. I write about what’s happening around me, my dreams, the things I’ve been through, or sh*t that just doesn’t quite make sense. I really use music to process my thoughts so the fact they ya’ll actually read the lyrics is the ultimate compliment. Thank you. Which musical artist do you seek inspiration from? How do you hone in on their craft and directly translate it to a unique lane of your own? I don’t really seek inspiration from one artist per se. I have artists that are apart of my foundation because of the impact their music has on my life, so it’s kind of hard not to execute the things that I’ve learned from them. For me, it’s like learning a family recipe but still wanting your version to stand out. What's next for you? I have a few independent projects I’m working on (short film & YouTube series) but for the most part, I’m writing music. Instagram

The Los Angeles-based storyteller, singer-songwriter, and genre-merging artist Jōviky highlights his latest mixtape, 'A Mixtape by Jōviky - Vol. 1,' with the release of the project's lead single, "Matadors." Known to his friends as a soft-spoken fellow, Jōviky's music displays a different side of himself as he continues to touch on not-so-quiet truths. While his sound blurs the lines of dark alt-pop, house, alt hip-hop, and trip-hop, Jõviky's lyricism shares tales with those who can relate to his willing, curious, and patient themes. Recently releasing his 24-track mixtape, 'A Mixtape by Jōviky - Vol. 1,' listeners can witness Jōviky's first attempt at songwriting, freestyling, and improv. Expanding on the project's lead single, "Matadors," Jõviky introduces us to his unique alt-hip-hop ways. Listening to "Matadors," the track opens with an unconventional percussion beat and Jōviky's spoken-word approach. Jōviky begins expanding the sonics with an electronic-inspired beat, he makes way for Jōviky to later dominate the ins and outs of this introspective and powerful tune. We're more than impressed with the intensity and power of this track, as the underlying production offers this minimalist sci-fi approach that perfectly complements Jōviky's influential performance. Diving into Jōviky's bars and lyrics, he touches on themes of tapping into his third eye and utilizing the inner power we were all graced with to seek success from every opportunity. While soaking our speakers in his charismatic delivery, the track comes to a mysterious and ominous end. Catch Jōviky in a sonic storm within their latest hit, "Matadors," and introduce yourself to their 24-track mixtape 'A Mixtape by Jōviky - Vol. 1,' available on Bandcamp. Listen to "Matadors" here. Hello Jōviky, thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic. We love the power and individuality of your latest hit, "Matadors." What inspired you to create such an unconventional yet dominant track like this? I wrote “Matadors” during a period when I was watching a lot of social justice documentaries and biopics. I constantly found myself searching for clues from the past on how to conquer the systems of racism that I felt buried under. At times, this search for understanding made me feel drained and somewhat hopeless, so I turned to feel-good movies to help balance out the negative emotions I was struggling with. The track “Matadors” is an exact reflection of the turmoil in my mind wanting to fight the good fight but also wanting to escape my troubles and focus on Black Joy. Was there a particular concept or story that you wanted your audience to take away for themselves within your recent single, "Matadors?" The song itself references the inhumane sport of bullfighting and the fact that the cards are fully stacked against the bull but it still fights for its life and wellbeing while exuding power and nobility. I wanted the song to feel confrontational and combative but also evoke emotions of victory for those that might feel defeated with all that is going on in the world, especially concerning issues of systemic racism. What was it like working with producer Mikey Beatz? First off, I want to say that Mikey Beatz (a.k.a. Mykie tha Machinist) is a genius with his production and has the ability to float between genres but still give that authentic vibe. He puts soul and passion into everything he touches and has helped me elevate my game as a musician. That being said, “Matadors” is actually one of the three tracks on the mixtape that I produced on my own. Sonically I wanted the track to sound like fight music. I wanted there to be a tug-of-war / push and pull between that “nod your head” vibe and straight up wanting to “knock someone out in the club” vibe. How does "Matadors" fit into the overall concept and experience of your recent mixtape 'A Mixtape by Jōviky - Vol. 1?' The idea behind “A Mixtape by Jōviky – Vol. 1” was to share my creative path as an artist and also to put out a project that was a little more accessible. My last EP “91 Movement” was super personal and crafted from a fine art perspective and for my mixtape, I wanted people to see more sides of my personality from my comedic side too much more adult topics. One thing I didn’t realize until the mixtape was complete, was how much I discuss social issues on this project. I speak on homelessness, the pandemic, gun violence, racism, etc… and it wasn’t a conscious choice but it really alludes to what I was feeling at the time and how I processed those emotions through my music. What would you like new listeners to know about you and your music? I want my listeners to know that everything I do is from a place of wanting to inspire people. I hope to create experiences that make it easier to come to terms with complex emotions and the existential turmoil and anxiety that comes along with being human. In other words, it’s okay to dance and cry separately and sometimes at the same time. I’m trying to find the balance of creating and sharing music that is pure and from my soul with my passion for helping people to awaken their creative side and follow their soul’s true calling. I don’t know if that sounds corny but that’s really how I feel. Instagram Twitter

From San Diego to Los Angeles, the hip-hop artist, producer, and singer-songwriter Luv Troi releases his highly anticipated 13-track mixtape entitled 'Mania.' Initially, Luv Troi planned to release the 5-track EP 'Mania' last summer, but after obtaining the unforeseen opportunity to expand his writing capabilities, he later decided to hold off on the project's release and create eight more dynamic tracks. When speaking on the project, Luv Troi mentioned, "The project is about a young person figuring out who they are and their purpose in this era full of information, pretty girls, overindulgent culture, and social media." Opening the album is the introductory track, "REGARDLESS," which sets the project's contemporary hip-hop tone through Luv Troi's smooth vocal stylings and incredibly melodic sonics. Merely within the first track, Luv Troi presents his highly versatile approach through emotional hooks and low/deep vocal delivery. Moving onto "100 ZERO," Luv Troi maintains the refreshing emotional tones through warm instrumentals and crisp drum breaks, which carries over into the next tune, "VIDEO." This track takes listeners on a more expansive Juice Wrld-type journey, primarily through Luv Troi's groaning and emotional vocals that drift alongside his punchy kicks and sub-bass. While the next track, "BETTER," opens with a fluid piano melody, it quickly drops into a highly reflective piece through Luv Troi's steady delivery while fueling the concept with themes of love and unimaginable passion. The same passionate theme continues throughout the next track, "CUFFED," as Luv Troi exudes nothing but desire through his smooth vocals and sultry instrumentation. Not to mention the savory saxophone elements and punchy drum breaks, we truly adore the sonic and lyrical atmospheres that Luv Troi has painted thus far. Next up is Luv Troi's previously released single, "PINK," which opens as snazzy and jazzy as contemporary hip-hop can be. With help from the down-tempo drums and melodic keys, Luv Troi expels nothing but pure passion while riding the sensual beat. Hyping us up with an ode to old-school, "VILLAINOUS," this track stands out as our favorite, as the sonics blends nostalgic drum breaks with modern synths/sub-bass to keep us hooked. We must also note Luv Troi's 6LACK-like delivery on this piece, as he touches on sounds of contemporary r&b as well. Spicing our days with the next tune, "WARDEN ACT," Luv Troi livens the album's energy through his tribute to modern hip-hop lyricism and the refreshing sonic arrangement. Landing on the next piece, "FILM," Luv Troi brings us back into a heavily introspective theme through the wavy sonics and his warm/deep vocal delivery. While touching on sultry and desirous lyrical themes, Luv Troi brings us deeper into the album while transitioning into the next track and previously released single, "ODOYK." Another lively and melodic hip-hop tune, we can't help but feel similarities to acts like MGK and Lil Peep through Luv Troi's emotional delivery and the song's alt-punk/contemporary hip-hop feel. Reach the eleventh track, "NEW 2000," blistering sub-bass overpowers the tune while Luv Troi delivers his low and ominous vocals to deepen the album's vibes and atmospheres. Opening the next track, "DAYGER," is emotional and melodic electric guitars, sweetening the sonics with the utmost passion with help from Luv Troi's delicious vocal delivery. We genuinely feel refreshed after listening to this piece, as Luv Troi brings us deep into incredibly versatile lyrical and sonic landscapes. Reaching the album's outro track, "WCF," Luv Troi ends the project on a vibrant note through this r&b-inspired tune. While discussing lyrical themes of thriving on the West Coast and working hard on his creative craft, Luv Troi rides the smooth and psychedelic beat with vast poise and composure. Lose yourself in Luv Troi's diverse 13-track mixtape, 'Mania,' and share some love with the West Coast creative as he continues charging through our industry as a versatile force to be reckoned with. Hello Luv Troi and welcome to BuzzMusic. We have to say, we're truly blown away by the lyrical and sonic versatility within your recent mixtape, 'Mania.' What inspired you to hold off on the project's release and add eight more tracks to create the final product? Thank you, means a lot. I had a solid 5 song project by July 2020, but I felt like I could add more depth and capture all the feelings for “mania” with more tracks. In the end, I’m so glad I held off because the final version of the mixtape is so much more professional and fun, I’m super content with it. What inspired the diverse and dynamic sonic/instrumental approaches within your mixtape, 'Mania'? Why did you want to add elements of various genres like hip-hop, r&b, alternative, and punk? That’s all me and my good friend cleme having fun. when we make beats together and even on our own we just make what we feel in the moment. We both listen to very different things and take inspiration from all sorts of artists. A lot of nights we would make one of each type of song instead of a bunch of the same kind of songs each session. Also, I feel like the way we approached it went along with the meaning of “MANIA” crazy, fun, and exciting. What did your creative process look like when creating the mixtape 'Mania' from your bedroom this past year? Did you experience any highs and lows during this process? Late nights with clem just making a better tune with each try. I constantly listen to all my demos, it makes me both content with my work and hungry to make something ten times better. I definitely felt frustrated in late 2020 about mania because I was adding more songs and I felt like I was losing the direction of it all. But that was really just me being very amateur about it. I had no branding plan or visuals made. I didn’t have the final tracklist close to done. But then in January, I really dug in, got my vision on set, and from there it made the mixtape all I could think about. Which track are you most proud of within your mixtape, 'Mania'? What makes this specific track so meaningful to you? I feel like my answer is different every time I’m asked this question. Right now, it’s gotta be “villainous” I really think that track embodies the project and my brand perfectly. Cleme and I had a great time making that track back in October/November and I really enjoy making that boom-bap, sample-driven sound. Instagram Facebook

Hailing from Tampa, Florida, the rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Don Drago delivers an inspirational collaboration with Dee Baby for their latest single, "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)." Often compared to the stylings of Mike Shinoda and Zayde Wolf, Don Drago has genuinely created a unique sound that bridges the gaps between hip-hop, pop, and rock. Striving to inspire listeners through his uplifting music, Don Drago hopes to leave his audience aware of their own mental prowess when reaching for the stars. Doing so with his latest single, "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)," Don Drago brings listeners into an intensely inspirational space through his motivational bars and powerful delivery. While Dee Baby serenades us on the hook with her sweet soprano vocals, she later spits her own verse while emphasizing the song's reassuring and courageous theme. "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)" opens with Don Drago and Dee Baby's melodic vocals that set the song's upbeat and lively tone. Once Don Drago takes the spotlight, he lets us into the hook with relatable bars like, "-since the ramen on the stove, I've been on the road, took some losses, got it back on my own." While continuing his uplifting and inspirational journey throughout the song, Dee Baby joins his side and adds vast emphasis to the song's theme through their vibrant vocal duet. As Dee Baby tackles the pre-chorus and second verse with her lush vocal stylings, she continues encouraging listeners to hold onto their dreams and never dim the light within. Reaching the song's end, the bright and radiant production gleams with hope and strength while leaving us inspired to take on the world. Shine bright with Don Drago and Dee Baby's latest collaboration, "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We want to thank you for reminding listeners to go after their dreams and deepest desires with your latest single, "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)." What inspired you to create this motivational single? I just have not been seeing many artists lately using their platform to try and shed some light back into the world. With everything going on, I just really wanted to make a track that people might be able to find comfort and inspiration in and that could motivate other upcoming artists and creatives like myself especially the kids! Really this song is meant for anyone who has ever had a dream or went after a dream and knows how hard it can be to remain true to your vision especially when you are going through it personally. All the ups and downs that life throws at us. I wanted to make something that could be a tool for today’s generation and anyone who comes from the bottom to let them know to not be afraid to dream! What was your collaborative process like with Dee Baby for your single, "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)"? What drew you to her vocal stylings when seeking an artist to feature on the single? The process of working with Dee Baby was amazing and smooth she is so talented and a true professional, and when I sent her the original song and she sent me back a video of her performing her verse live I knew we had something big! She has been a staple in Tampa for a long time and when we did finally get in the studio it was honestly just super fun. We worked hard but also just had fun with it and experimented and ended with a great song! Did you produce the sonics yourself within "Dream (feat. Dee Baby)"? How did you create the sonic atmosphere to emphasize the song's inspirational theme? So, for me, the creative process is to first come up with a melody, and then from there, I choose a topic and then start filling in the lyrics to the melody. But yes, this one was really just divine inspiration it kind of just came to me lol. For readers who are now introduced to your music, could you help us get to know you on a more personal level? How does your music reflect who you are and what you aim to represent? For me, music has always been my best friend! I know to some people that may sound crazy, but I’ve had so many times in my life where everything was in chaos but being able to create a song and turn all those bad things into something positive and creative I would say probably saved my life. As for me, I am just a guy who was used to being an underdog and then decided to start fighting back. And the way I fight back is with my music. What can we anticipate next from you?

Full Circle Enso is a feminist alternative rock band based in NYC. The band's unique sound is inspired by the 90’s grunge, hard rock, the Riot grrrl movement, R&B, metal, and early 2000’s punk. With a goal to inspire their listeners and make them feel a little less lonely through relatable messages, Full Circle is fresh off the release of their self-titled debut album. Bringing forth awareness to domestic abuse, racism, environmentalism, and privilege, Full Circle Enso's is aimed towards the ‘weird kids’ who never felt that they fit into society’s cookie cutters. Taking our attention to the introductory single on the album, “In My Dreams,” our world is completely flipped upside down as we grasp the raw and witty crux of Full Circle Enso. Repetition is key in making a melody sit with your audience long after the song comes to a halt, and the energy that surfaces with the reiteration indicates a tightly formed sense of Full Circle Enso’s essence as a collective. There’s an edgy texture to the layers that syncopate in a jagged fashion as the percussion comes in colossal, and the guzzling guitar riffs add a certain underground feel to the atmosphere conveyed. With a boisterous vocal performance that tiptoes the line of being gruff and heroic, it’s hard not to be fully immersed in the “In My Dreams,” soundscape. The post-punk-like vibrancy kicks this track into high gear as the grunge-fueled foundation is integral to the band's unique sound. Full Circle Enso projects themes of lived experiences and the realism of the world that surrounds us. Connecting a broody sense of amplified charisma, they manage to pull superlative elements and convey their messaging in a way that is authentic to the brand itself. Congratulations on the release of your self-titled album. The band works so well together in delivering an extraordinary sense of confidence and realness. How did the band come to be? Could you please share a bit about each member? Hello and thank you so much! We are originally from the Hudson Valley, NY and now based in NYC. As of now, the band consists of the two original members, Thalia Aviles (guitar, and vocals) and Marco Salazar (bass). On the album, you can also hear Michael McLaughlin on drums, and Corey Hurst on guitar on “Revolution” and “My Generation”. Marco and I met at our local music school growing up at one of their rock camp sessions. We bonded through our love for rock music, and we shared the same experience of getting bullied growing up. We really established the band in college where we continued our studies in music. My roots start in the church choir at age five. I picked up the guitar and started taking lessons at seven, and continued choir and band in high school where I picked up the trombone and piano. I formed many bands growing up like my first band, The Mighty Unitaco Sandwich! Another significant group I grew a lot from was a pop girl group I worked with in high school called Fair Maiden. I would travel from upstate NY to NYC every weekend to record in studios with the group. I went on to study the music business and audio engineering/production, completing an associate's and a certification. Marco began his study of music at age nine with percussion and drums, switching to bass at age twelve. He studied jazz and contemporary music and played in the music schools All-Star band (pop music), and Jazz All-Star band, where they performed at charity events and festivals. Marco has been a public performer and freelance bassist since he was twelve! He has composed original basslines for local singer-songwriters, original projects like this one, and public events. He holds associate's degrees in both jazz / commercial music, and liberal arts/humanities. One of the reasons why this band is called Full Circle Enso is because it is a reminder that whatever is meant for you will always come back in the form it needs to, just like how we continue to create and collaborate throughout the years! “In My Dreams,” is so packed full of your charisma that it makes for a strong opening song on your debut album. Could you please take us into the meaning behind the song and what it says about you as a band? Thank you!! The song is basically about the frustration of wanting what you don’t have. I wrote this song at the beginning of college. I remember sitting in class staring blankly at the music theory on the chalkboard and thinking “There has to be more to life than this”!! I was sick of the day-to-day monotony. Going to school year after year, getting a nine-to-five job, finding “the one” so early in life all seemed like a restless assignment to the life I’ve been told how to live. Eighteen-year-old me was fed up and wanted results from all the effort and energy spent dedicated to my dreams. I felt hopeless and like my dreams were too far-fetched to ever come true. With that being said- that was a mindset of scarcity! Nothing is ever too big or unworthy of your effort!! Could you please share a glimpse into the creative process you visited when constructing the album? How does it feel to have it released? It feels like a dream come true to finally release this album!! I wrote a lot of these songs in high school and college, so this album has been in progress for a while. The creative process was so collaborative which was probably the best part! I love sharing and executing a vision with like-minded artists/friends who are equally as talented! After about a year of not playing together, we finally started to play shows again, and then the pandemic hit! We started the production for this album the day before the quarantine was announced!! From there I produced our EP of the demos up on our Bandcamp, which our friend and engineer Zachary Vogel heard, and then would go on to produce our debut album! We tracked the drums and bass at Zach’s college, Suny Purchase, then Thalia tracked the vocals and guitar from home. We wrapped up the audio production during the summer of 2020, then started filming music videos. One of the videographers we worked with, Ray Bentley, did an amazing job capturing the psychedelic 90’s vibe we were going for in “See It My Way”. We’re all around grateful to have had the chance to collaborate with all these amazing people mentioned! What are you hoping your audience takes away from the messaging of “In My Dreams?" If our listeners take away any messages from this song I want it to be, to ALWAYS follow your dreams, NEVER give up on what ignites you, and to stay empowered! Also to be authentic! Dreams can come true if you work hard enough for them! What's next for you? Full Circle Enso is currently going through a lineup change. We are recording demos, constantly writing, and creating more for YOU! Expect our upcoming music to be experimental, punkier, and more outspoken than before! P.S- we are extremely grateful to our listeners, thank you! xx Instagram Website

Mila Nabours is an American actress, singer, and dancer who is making strides in the music industry as the daughter of professional classical musicians. Since a very young age, Mila Nabours has been a competitive gymnast winning many state and regional championships in both artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. At age 11, she transitioned to dance, where she would train in all styles of the art with an emphasis on acrobatics, hip-hop/jazz-funk, and contemporary. As a recording artist Mila Nabours has released several original songs that her audience knows and loves her for. In the process of writing her first EP, she gives us a taste of what she’s been up to with her latest single “Microwave.” In an enthralling soundscape of Electro-Pop necessity, the effervescence that pours from Mila Nabours latest single “Microwave,” brings us life. The upbeat instrumentation plays upon exclusive percussion arrangements that simmer in a stew of nostalgic 80’s Pop styled-components. Heavily involving the tom drum finesse to sway you into the absorption of anticipation, the impact adds a peaking terrain that the musicality approaches, giving “Microwave,” textured layers. Mila Nabours wide vocal range emits a radiance that dispenses from the depths of her songwriting techniques as a narrative so familiar sweeps the soundwaves in luscious croons. She has a knack for taking her dark, bedroom Pop-infused timbres and adding elements of gleaming magnetism to each word effortlessly conveyed as they float their way into our speakers. Easing us into the chorus as Mila Nabours buoyantly sings the words, ‘yeah my mind is spinning like a microwave, but I let it go it’s in flames,’ we can’t shake the utilization of a metaphor so perfectly fitting to the storyline depicted through abstract phrasing. There’s a certain essence to the aura of Mila Nabour that has us locked into her grid of original creations. Not wanting to escape, we’re eager to go on this rollercoaster ride in loops. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Mila Nabours, and congratulations on the release of “Microwave.” We love the song in its presentation and delivery. What inspired the narrative behind the lyrics? I wrote this song in means to show my development as a person, portray the reminiscence of old times, and talk about finding myself along with finding the right people in my life. I speak on important values like trust and loyalty, which have been traits that have been hard to find in others. The story progresses as the song goes, and by the chorus, I express the idea that I’ve figured things out, started fresh claimed my future. How does “Microwave,” compare to some of the other songs found in your music catalog? What does it say about you as an artist? This is one of my most upbeat songs, but even so, has a very meaningful message to me. I feel like this song shows my range as an artist, mostly with my diversity in style. My last song has a very edgy vibe, completely opposite from this new song. Indulging yourself in the art of acting and dancing, do you find that the creative process you approach for those talents seep into the creative process you embody as a singer? What are some similarities and differences? I feel like, in all forms of these arts, the main start to the creative process is figuring out what you want to portray, and how you want the audience to feel. When it comes to acting, one big thing I think about is what my intention is in my dialogue, and why I’m having that certain conversation or certain thoughts. Same with singing, as I tend to think about why I’m saying a certain thing and what it means to me. When it comes to dancing, I have to portray my style with my movements rather than my voice, so having little nuances is very important. With each artist having a different message to get across, what are you saying to your fan base? The main message I want to get across to my fan base is that it’s okay to not feel okay all the time. Finding out the reason for your negative emotions is a start to solving the problem and that focusing on taking things little by little is the path to feeling your most authentic self. I know it’s easier said than done though, and that’s okay! What's next for you? An EP! I’m currently in the process of writing my first EP and will be releasing that soon. Instagram
