  • Delve Into "The Process" With YsL Milli

    The up and coming YsL Milli has three homes to call his own, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Presently residing in the sunshine state, he is working on building his career as a recording artist. With three years in the music industry under his belt, YsL Milli has released two major projects with an additional EP to establish his name. Following up his 2019 release of the album, ‘Milligogetit,’ YsL Milli introduces his fan base to his next installment in the series titled “Milligogetit 2.” Embracing a conscious mindset with the lyrical feast of vulnerability, we’re open to YsL Milli’s record “The Process.” Being the second single featured on the album, his audience takes a deeper look into his retrospective mindset that has him weaving through melodic cadences with a pure delivery of authentic emotion. Adding his own unique twist to the sentiment he bears, the poignant essence that drips from the tantalizing instrumentation impeccably cascades with his rhythmic vocalization and passion-fueled juxtaposition. “How you gonna think of me when I’m bound to the life that I chose” is the foundational motif that strings us along for the ride of a lifetime as we get to experience what’s eating away at YsL Milli. Placing emphasis on the overall vibrations emitted from the composition versus YsL Milli articulating each word perfectly seems to be what makes this record stand out from the crowd. You’re forced to delve into the soundscape as you leave your cares behind and focus on the luminous tenors that YsL Milli graciously offers up. Solidifying his essence in a ballad that stays true to himself, “The Process” has us eager to drown ourselves in the rest of his album, “Milligogetit 2.” Hello YsL Milli and welcome to BuzzMusic. You truly release a vulnerable side of yourself in “The Process.” What does this record say about you as a creative and individual? Good question, This track off the album shows I can have versatile flows on my music and have a passion for what I love to do. When making music I try to always see if I can mix the song with singing and rap together. It has always been my favorite thing to do when making a new song. With “Milligogetit 2,” being a follow-up to the 2019 album you released, what do listeners have in store with this album that differs from the first? Does anything directly tie the two together? Milligogetit 2 has more of a story than the first. I tell my dreams and what I want in every single track, both of the albums tie up with me speaking to existence. I have added an introduction track on Milligogetit 2 of me speaking to god letting him know I need to make a living off my music. I was outside of a church that Sunday when I recorded the Track 1 introduction with a recorder. I know that only God can make me prevail in the industry. Did you work with any other individual in order to portray the desired sound heard on the full body of work? Could you please take us into what each person contributed? I’ve had collaborated with many multiple producers and a few other artists on the album. One of the producers is my best friend Since middle school Oscar more known as Izoki Beats, he made track 1 “introduction” and track 2 “the process” Another producer Malloy made track 3 “What I Said” Next song was my homie who produced this song from Germany know as Ryo the ghoul. He allowed me to use his old throw-away beat for Track 4 “Possible” that song is almost 2 years old. The oldest song on the album. Track 5 “Reckless” was made by my Anderwine. He my dawg from Russia, we got a lot of future songs coming in the future. Track 6 “Red glossy” was produced by Spike. Track 7 “Heart Attack” was Produced by Young Asko. I’ve dm him on Instagram and decided to buy one of his beats he was offering. Track 8 “Head Like Dreads” I have a feature featuring my dawg ynxg que. his voice was very unique that I had to add him on the track. Track 9 “change” produced by my dawg Bailey Weston has helped me made hits in the past off my 2020 EP. This track is my personal favorite. Track 10 “Glisten” features my high school friend Giann known as Kiddgio. This was originally his song but it sounded amazing and I didn’t see him releasing the song. So added the song on the album. Track 11 “Get Dripped” was produced by Depo on the beat and Track 12 “Raise Me” was produced by Actes. What moment or story inspired the creation of “The Process?" What are you hoping listeners take away from the messaging in it? The Process is a deep song to me, During the Studio session with Izoki we were talking about how we will only go on the music path only and nothing else. To all my fans and other people listening to the track I am delivering how I am only going for Plan A.. there is no Plan B. It’s either plan A or A. There is no backup plan. I’m pursuing music till the day I receive a Grammy and have a whole entire album on the top 100 charts. Instagram

  • Jo Wedin Stays True to Herself in "Keep It Up"

    The voice has always been at the center of Jo Wedin's music. She's an artist who has experimented throughout her career by finding and developing her sound. Jo Wedin was born and raised in Sweden but nowadays adopted by France. She's been writing songs for the past few years, singing jazz and soul in hotels in Paris, all while touring mainly in France with her French band. Jo Wedin's latest release, "Keep It Up," provides listeners with a wistful scope of meaningful lyrics that enhance the effervescent spirit divulged in the instrumentation. Enticing musicality comes leaping through your speakers as you grasp the quintessence of the timeless Jo Wedin's sonic offerings. Revisiting a classic sound drenched in the nostalgic R&B/Soul era of the '90s and early '00's we hear her luscious timbres bring life to the subject of staying true to yourself; no matter what, social media and society encourage you to fit in. The cinematic essence of "Keep It Up" tours us through black and white footage that transitions into colorful scenes as Jo Wedin remains her sparkling self through harmonious bliss and reality. Always one to stand apart from the crowd, the way that Jo Wedin portrays this message has us vividly mesmerized by her wisdom and thoughtful nature that encourages her to treat her audience as more than just listeners. Jo Wedin drives home authenticity as she sincerely conveys her thought with listeners worldwide in "Keep It Up." Wrapping us in a warm embrace, the eloquent performance cascades with the tantalizing tenors structured throughout the instrumentation as Jo Wedin has us feeling empowered in this feathery realm of a dreamscape. We love the message you radiate in your latest single “Keep It Up.” What inspired you to speak on such a crucial matter in today’s day and age? I’m reminded of this matter every day. It’s become an obsession. I think we all have a hard time keeping up with the quick changes today and we will never find safety and security in this world because it’s always changing! If you don’t feel good within yourself, you might feel more and more useless and desperate because you’re unable to keep up. And the message "stay true to yourself" has become a common mantra today, you can see it all over. But on the other hand, our society couldn’t be more superficial. We take pictures and make videos of ourselves like robots. There’s no limit on how narcissistic we can be. I’m processing this for quite a while now; being too obsessed with myself, needing quick results and superficial attention. It’s a pity that we singers and artists have to focus so much on our image instead of the music. How do you find “Keep It Up,” compares to other songs that you have previously released? What are some similarities and differences in the messaging and sound? "Keep it up" compares to my latest releases in that I try to be as honest and make them as soulful as possible. "Keep it up" is more uptempo and a little more pop in its approach. I think I’ve been experimenting with my sound for a while, working with different people you can hear a little bit of everything in my latest releases; R&B, new soul, hip hop, and pop. I think it’s important to find your own sound, but not being afraid of trying something new. The common link in all songs is the voice. I want the voice to be as expressive as possible and I’m trying to develop it more and more. It’s been an obsession for a while because at one point I didn’t like my voice. I thought it was too clean and too high-pitched. Now when I’ve accepted it as it is I don’t hesitate to use it at its best. I want to try different melodic things and just enjoy my voice and singing. I’ve recorded all vocal productions on my own lately and the lyrics are getting more and more important too. I want to write things that move people, not just fit any other lyrics into the music. Could you please share a glimpse into what the creative process was like when fashioning this single and music video? What inspired the vision for the visuals? This is the first single that I made with a beatmaker (Max6mum) at a distance. I was contacted on Instagram and I liked what I heard. We worked on it, sending it back and forth and I really discovered, (maybe a bit late), the great thing about today’s music-making, how easy it is to collaborate with people living in other cities or other countries. It’s also one of the positive things, if there are any, with this pandemic; working on long-distance collaborations like this actually pushed me into making my own productions. I usually work on the toplines with the producer in his studio, but as I already mentioned this time I did it all by myself and I really liked it. I got to decide everything very freely, trying to find different textures and vocal harmonies. One thing led to another and I started trying out my own beats, playing around with synthesizers, etc. (But that’s future stuff!) I wanted to mention it because"Keep it up" made me realize what I am capable of. It’s very exciting! The vision for all the imagery around the single came to me one day when I was taking a walk not far from my neighborhood. I saw this huge staircase and I thought that this could be a perfect image for "Keep it up." The single cover is taken on this staircase and there are a few scenes in the video of me running up the stairs. It fits so perfectly well with the song. I wanted to have a lot of focus on myself, when I look at myself in the mirror of my phone and also in the mirror in the elevator, all symbols of narcissistic behavior. I enjoyed making it because there is no storyboard behind it, we improvised the whole thing and filmed it with an i-phone. What has been the best piece of advice that you have received throughout your artistic journey? To trust yourself and not wait around for someone to discover you. Just do your own thing.

  • Dive Into Ayestí's Heavy Single, "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)"

    Hailing from Lima, Ohio, the hip-hop artist, rapper, and songwriter Ayestí pairs up with SHAD for their deeply reflective single, "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)." Also known as 4gmusiq, the Ohio-based rapper/hip-hop artist is best known for combining pure storytelling, complex melodies, and catchy lyrics into his sound influenced by acts like Juice WRLD, Lil Wayne, and T-Pain. Making CBS and Fox-affiliated news headlines with his latest single, "Mind Games," we're excited to introduce this savory and reflective song to our readers. Expanding on his first single of the year, "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)," Ayestí and SHAD take us through an incredibly introspective and heartfelt atmosphere through their emotional bars/lyricism. Not to mention the song's tender and melodic hip-hop tones, we can't help but feel heavy sonic similarities to the late great Juice WRLD. Listening to "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)," the song opens with bright acoustic guitar picking alongside Ayestí's airy background vocals. Once a somber keyboard melody begins to shine through, the heavy beat drops with a tight array of drum breaks. Ayestí begins his lyrical journey through rather introspective words of seeking a way out of the mind games that a significant other harshly caused. Hopping on the track is the deep and unique vocal stylings of SHAD, which perfectly complements Ayestí's lyrical message through bars that touch on the disheartening feeling of recognizing someone's mind games before it's too late. Reaching the song's end, the melodic production drifts us to the outro while maintaining the song's heartfelt core the entire way through. Find Ayestí's first single of the year, "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)," on all streaming platforms, and become familiar with the versatile and melodic stylings of the Lima-based hip-hop artist. Welcome to BuzzMusic Ayestí, and congratulations on the release of your first single of 2021, "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)." When did you begin writing bars for this single? I began writing “Mind Games” in September 2020 and finished in November. It was a long process because I planned a big release for the start of 2021. Why did you want to create such a heavily introspective and emotional single like "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)?" What inspired your bars and concept? I wanted to convey a series of situations through high school with females. It involves girls playing around and being flirty, but never want to be serious when it comes down to it. They talk big and bad but ain’t bout no action, ya know? So it finally gets to a point where I’m like, forget ALL YALL! The one lyric states “You ain’t in the Mindset, got a different Mindframe” and that’s exactly how I meant it, FORGET THEM! We love the contrasting tones between your vocals and SHAD's within the single, "Mind Games (feat. SHAD)." What drew you to the stylings of SHAD to include him as a feature on this single? Shad and I have PLENTY of music I’m sure you’ll hear very soon, he always comes through with a solid verse and finds the key of that song. We’ve got different lifestyles and his edgy tone always compliments my music well. How does your music represent who you are and what you stand for? What are some common themes that you tend to touch on within your music? I am Sober for the most part so a lot of times I’ll make references to pills, but in some way I always mention that I don’t do them. I also use TONS of metaphors in all my music so it remains playful and catchy, but still meaningful. I tend to reference a situation with a girl in every song so I’d say that's a really common theme. What's next for you? The Name change becomes OFFICIAL! The name “4gmusiq” is officially retired and Alas, “Ayestí” People ask why I am making the switch and it is simply for Aesthetics. When I finally make songs with Dro Kenji and Billie Eilish, “feat. Ayestí” looks better than “feat. 4gmusiq.” Instagram Facebook

  • Kapri Emphasizes Our Repetitive Days Within, “We Used To Go Outside”

    From Poland to Hollywood, the singer-songwriter and compelling artist Kapri makes the most of her quarantine with a conceptual song and music video, "We Used to Go Outside." Back in Lublin, Poland, Kapri began her career by playing recurring solo shows and touring with a cover band throughout high school, which also had the pleasure of opening for The Futureheads in front of 20k people. Now residing in Hollywood, Kapri has landed the opportunity to work alongside multi-platinum producer Anthony J. Resta, songwriter Michael Anderson, and legendary mastering engineer Brian Lucey. Through her latest powerful and reflective single, "We Used to Go Outside," Kapri lets us into her quarantine days through the song's conceptual lyricism and her music video's meaningful story. Also powering through with lively and groovy alt-rock instrumentals, Kapri truly created this single for anyone and everyone to get down with. Listening to the single, "We Used to Go Outside," the track opens with a growling electric guitar whaling in the foreground while Kapri's layered vocals haunt the background. Once the light and airy percussion elements make their way in alongside jazzy keys, Kapri continues reflecting on the past and reminding us of our adventurous and carefree days. Diving into the music video for "We Used to Go Outside," Kapri took a more minimalist approach, yet a highly conceptual one at that. While the video opens with shots of a time-lapsed neighborhood through a peephole, it later transitions into shots of a ceiling fan and even more time-lapsed scenes of the same neighborhood from different windows. With that said, Kapri perfectly captured the essence of our repetitive quarantined days. Watch Kapri's conceptual music video for "We Used to Go Outside" on YouTube, and find the single itself on all streaming platforms. We truly appreciate the reflective and conceptual approach you've taken within your latest single and music video, "We Used to Go Outside." When did you begin feeling inspired to create a song about our repetitive days? I think we can all agree that sitting at home got very old very quickly. I was talking on the phone and online with a lot of my friends, and everyone was mentioning how insane it felt to be stuck indoors, and how we took being free to roam everywhere for granted. So I was pandemic-inspired from day one. I have a few more pandemic songs I wrote and will be releasing soon. How did you manage to collaborate with creatives like Ed Egan and Clint Hanaway for your single, "We Used to Go Outside?" What was your remote creative process like? Ed Egan, an incredible guitarist and a part of a British band Pirates of Panama recorded remotely from the UK! I asked him if he wanted to collaborate on a project and he liked the song, so as a result, we were able to make something very cool. Clint Hanaway, one of my closest friends, is an all-around expert in editing, film, and media, and was kind enough to help me with mastering that isn’t really my strong suit. I think the final result is super cool! What inspired the conceptual time-lapsed scenes within your music video for "We Used to Go Outside?" How did the music video's creation come about? So, you know how we always complain we don’t have enough downtime to “clean the house” or “learn an *insert new skill here*” or “watch the next season of this cool new show”? Well, turned out time wasn’t a problem ;) we got stuck inside and suddenly there was too much time. Everything was getting boring quickly. So I was watching the traffic through the window a lot, and when I was talking to Michael Jacob (MJ), the creator of the video, about it, we were mentioning how normally Hollywood is bursting with interesting people and everything is new, and now everything is kind of on repeat, over and over - same cars, same-looking people. So I asked MJ to create a video about being stuck in and only having one angle, one view, almost a tunnel vision. Would you say that your music usually captures such conceptual themes and stories, similar to "We Used to Go Outside?" Yes, but it might not always be so apparent to bystanders! My new songs are always about what currently happens in my life, what surrounds me, what bothers or builds me up. Songwriting is my emotional outlet, but I think this is the first time I managed to capture something that was happening worldwide, and I'm very happy that I was able to reach such a universal and broad audience. I hope they love the song and come back for more, and that we’ll meet at live shows very soon! Instagram Facebook

Welcome to BuzzMusic, Parker Howard. “Godspeed,” is the perfect way to open up your five-track EP, ‘Texas Girl.’ What inspired you to make this the opening number? The story behind “Godspeed” is a very special one to me. Every year my family and I used to go to a dude ranch up in Wyoming and I met a girl there who did music also. She and I became close and she told me how her little brother had passed a long time ago and this song is a cover song from The Chicks and ever since then, this song has had a very special meaning to me and that dude ranch holds a very special place to my family and me. The intimacy portrayed in this single has us relating to you on a first-hand level. Could you please take us into the moment or story that shaped the creation of “Godspeed?"

'TEXAS GIRL' was a process of two years in the making and it took a lot of blood and sweat and tears from my amazing studio, SG Studios.

The process was lengthy but very worth it in the end and I am very thankful to all the composers and musicians and band members for all of the help with this amazing project. All of these songs that I was given all had a very amazing meaning and they all are very relatable. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from the full body of work? What does ‘Texas Girl’ say about you as an artist? 'TEXAS GIRL' was meant for people to know that I am Texas-born and raised and as they say,” you can take the girl out of Texas, but you can’t take Texas out of the girl”. I hope my audience relates to my music and loves it as much as I do. My goal as an artist is to have very relatable music and for people to be able to connect to my music on another level. I also would love to be a role model to people and show anyone that they can start from anywhere and become something amazing.

Within the next couple of months I will be coming out with some more music and I will be back in Nashville in June to record some more music and some videos are on the way also and some surprises are coming very soon also!!

  • Attacking the Beat, Dre Day 100 Teams Up with R0bTech to Finesse "Proof of Death"

    Dre Day 100 is known for the charisma that drips from his expressive persona. Being an up-and-coming artist who continues to garner attention with each move he makes, there is no denying the skill-set that Dre Day 100 puts to great use. Leaving his listeners with a sense of fulfillment after indulging in each musical creation he puts forth, the consistency that Dre Day 100 has been evolving with is rather admirable. Collaborating with the undeniable talents of R0bTech for the vibrant avenue toured in the single “Proof of Death,” the enticing atmosphere that holds up the mesmerizing structure of this track is most certainly impenetrable by these two artists. Always one to come to the table with his weaving cadences that effortlessly steer you through the lyrical dexterity, Dre Day 100 exudes as a wordsmith, the melodic hues in “Proof of Death,” has us tapping into an old school Hip-hop ambiance reminiscent of Nate Dogg and Warren G. The nostalgic signature that Dre Day 100 stamps his hits with is refreshing as the industry is saturated with the melismatic modern wave of the genre. Amplifying his tonal distinction in a way that plays into the smooth vibrations emitted by the instrumentation, it’s easy to hear that Dre Day 100 can maneuver his way around any beat as he uses his rhyme schemes as potent ammunition. Combining the techniques that he embodies with the wistful tenors of R0bTech, the dynamism that is portrayed on this track has us fully embracing the mass offering of lyricism that comes overflowing from “Proof of Death.” The sounds radiated in “Proof of Death,” have us turning up the volume and going on a late-night cruise, how did the collaboration of yourself and R0bTech come to life? What was it like working with one another to achieve the desired sound heard in this track? It was around December of last year and I was just getting to know R0b after meeting him around like August or September. He was coming to Sidedoor Studios very often laying down very melodic tracks that sounded so different. Every time I would take a listen I would say to myself "man I've got to collab with him". His sound reminds me a lot of Nate Dogg and with the Snoop Dogg comparisons I get, I figured why not ya know. So on that night of December, he brought this instrumental to my attention and I just loved how it started off dark and sinister and just transitioned into a more sunny happy type of instrumental. As we were figuring out how to organize the song he instantly came up with this hook that blew my mind. He started singing "Theeeseee hooooeessss knooowww whoooosss dooopppee" and from that moment I'm like "we got ourselves a hit". Now with that melodic hook came his dope lyricism and combining that with the lyricism I was bringing. And the way the beat transitioned and the feeling it gives we knew we had to match that and I gotta say we pulled it off nicely. Working with him is definitely a yin and yang thing. What is the inspiration behind the remarkably witty lyrical soundscape expressed in “Proof of Death?" What does this song mean to you as the creator? The inspiration was pretty much the theme of the instrumental ya know. The first half resembled a much more gritty and mellow feel so the lyrics and how we expressed those lyrics we matched that. For the second half, it resembled life. A very lit life so we brought that feeling too. And of course, there's an inspiration of old-school hip hop elements because both I and R0bTech are heavily influenced by old-school hip hop. You can definitely hear it in the song. This track brings a meaning of elevation, growth, and two magical forces being meshed into one. It's like if Goku and Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z did a fusion together. You’re continuously building up your catalog with songs that elevate your artistry. How does “Proof of Death,” hold up to other songs you’ve previously released? I believe that Proof Of Death raises the bar a little bit more as will the next song I drop and so on and so on. It is definitely an improvement from my other works. I feel like the energy on this one is definitely A1 compared to the other songs I dropped, not that I'm trying to downplay them or anything. How have you found yourself growing as an artist from your previous single “1Hunna Man, Pt.3,” to “Proof of Death?" I have grown in every aspect that I know of so far. Whether that's knowledge as an artist, articulation, artist personality, energy, mic presence, lyricism, and creativeness I've improved in it all. Now I know there's more room to grow because there's nothing but abundance. I can never get enough growth. Dre Day 100 Instagram R0btech Instagram

  • "Just Stay" by St. Levi, Has You Familiar with the Repeat Button

    Multifaceted Israeli artist St. Levi is back with yet another effervescent release with, “Just Stay.” As a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist St. Levi picked up the guitar at the age of 9 and began producing at the age of 15.

Pulsating through the speakers, we’re engrossed in the electro-pop elements that shape this song to be more than just an intoxicating single; down to the spellbinding breakdown. “Just Stay,” has us doused in glistening rays of realism that come throttling from the vulnerability of St. Levi as he addresses his anxiety and loss of purpose as the one he fervently loves is no longer by his side. The means of talent that it takes to flip a situation of full transparency and create a head-bopping hit is undeniable. Wearing his heart on his sleeve, we’re always graced with the genuine emotions felt by St. Levi as he manages to bring his audience into his own world and has them connecting the pieces on a level that states ‘you’re not alone.’ Be sure to indulge in the top-tier production quality of “Just Stay” as St. Levi exudes a vibrant persona that will have you at a loss for words. Congratulations on the release of “Just Stay.” This single carries forth an extensive amount of energy. We love that! What shaped the inspiration that lies in the lyrics of “Just Stay”? Thank you so much! It actually was written a few years ago on top of a very different production, I felt like it’s a song that I have to write, it was a subject I didn't write about until then, I’m super happy with the result, it’s also like a self-therapy to me so it feels amazing to finally have it released out to the world. You have a knack for taking lively instrumentations and laying your vulnerability into the soundscape. Is that something that comes naturally to you? Did you find the creation process for “Just Stay” fairly easy to navigate through? Wow, I appreciate it so much, thank you. Vulnerability is an amazing thing that tells a lot about authenticity, I think that when you're showing your “weak sides”, which are obviously super common and super normal, you show other people that they’re not alone, I wasn’t like that all of the time, it’s something that I needed to learn and I constantly work on, “Just Stay” is a really honest song and at the beginning of my career, not all of my songs were very honest to be frank. This song was not the easiest song to write and it went through a long process but I can say that it was super fun to make. Could you please share a glimpse of what your creative process entailed when fashioning the jaunty “Just Stay”? For sure, as I said, I had a different production under the lyrics and I was supposed to be featured on a DJ track but both of us were not very happy with the result and we put the song aside, I really loved the lyrics so I got back to the session like a year after and re-produced and re-recorded everything, I produced most of the track in a few hours the same day so it was very intuitive for me production-wise, then it took a lot of time to wrap up the mix and all of the small details of the track, for example, I have about 40 vocal tracks in it, so I really paid a lot of attention to every little second. What is the main message that you’re sending out to your audience through your artistry? The main message is a message of unity, of growth, of listening to yourself. I would really want to inspire and motivate people to get up and do what they love the most, take the risks and give it all they got! What can fans anticipate next from you? So so much! I have more singles and collaborations to be released very soon, there’s also a music video for “Just Stay” coming soon as well. Plus, did I mention an album? Facebook Instagram

Where did you find the inspiration to create this warm-hearted track? Thank you! To be honest, I don’t recall the inspiration at that time of crafting now this masterpiece, ‘Oh My’. I do remember it was late 2019 when I heard the sample and was like, oh yeah, I gotta write to this! I was harmonizing at first, then it built to the idea hmm let’s share your experience(s) of meeting a guy you like & hoping he doesn’t hurt you or fck it up! During your creative process for "Oh My," what inspired the sweet and cinematic string section within the sonics? What did this element add to the existing sonics? Funny thing, I had taken LSD and played the song to get into the vibe before I headed to the studio to lay vocals and I just heard strings. I found what I was looking for, chopped it up real quick, added the strings then headed to the studio. I felt it took ‘Oh My’ to another level. The strings gave the song such a cinematic vibe. Are you familiar with writing lyricism straight from the heart, or do you often face challenges with vulnerability and channeling your emotional thoughts? If I’m not feeling the song it’s definitely a struggle to tap in and express myself lyrically. Once I find a good loop and I come up with a title it's a little challenge but really fun (I love a challenge) to think about all the things that happened to you and put it into a song where people can relate or understand me better. I also find, at times, to be very vulnerable in front of the mic a challenge, it’s weird, but I’m working on it. Definitely gotten better with it though! Can’t tell but it’s true. Seeing as you've released four singles in total, do your releases share similar themes, lyrically and sonically? Or would you say that each of your released songs brings something different to the table? I have an EP under my old artist name, so technically 8 if we’re counting. However, I do believe the two ‘SAY’ and ‘Oh My’ share a theme. They are the prelude to my upcoming EP. These two songs tell a piece of the story. The story of me being in a “situationship” that turned toxic. ‘ Say’ is like the backstory or summary of what I’m about to really tell you. ‘ Oh, My ‘ is the beginning, how it started. The other songs on the EP will give you the rest of the storyline. As for ‘ Look at me Now’ it is a personal song of how I feel about myself on my growth as a person and artist. All of my songs are def a vibe. I feel I’ve found my signature sound. Each song just gets better! What's next for you? Working, praying, and hoping for a tour, sync placements, and a nice big budget to give you all an epic Album! Instagram Facebook

  • "Shatter," Normality with Emperor Steve's Latest Release

    Emperor Steve a.k.a. Justin C.M. Brown resides in Los Angeles where he began making music at the age of 16. Originally born in Raleigh, North Carolina, Emperor Steve’s musical influences include Ween, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, ATB, Dieselboy, and N.E.R.D. Being a multidisciplinary artist, Emperor Steve has recorded over 16 hours of unreleased music until this year. Exposed to a sizzling universe that is fully basking in instrumental soundscapes, we appreciate the layers of depth the float in Emperor Steve’s most recent album, 'You Might Just Be a Schmuck.' As we take our attention to the second track off of the album, we are greeted with “Shatter,” an eclectic blend of instruments that create a universe of beguiling resonance. In the ominous tones presented, the dark mix allows the mystery of the song's meaning to lurk in the shadows as we have 3 minutes and 39 seconds to find our own meaning beyond the musicality exposed. Emperor Steve utilizes the mid-tempo grooves to lay a variety of synths, and reverberated drums in the full victorious scale of “Shatter.” Taking each moment in, Emperor Steve wants his bodies of work to be looked at as inspiration for creative thought. Being part of one of the albums from a series titled Steve’s Empire, this collection of music written and rendered between 2003 and 2013 has no genre, and individually the songs are evidently difficult to classify. Steve has gone on to say, “The easiest way to understand it is to say that it’s different for every person. This music encourages you to pay attention to your own thoughts. It creates unusual conversation. It’s the kind of music you play when you’re comfortable with someone. It’s subtly and deliberately imperfect. I believe in the importance of abstract and reflective critical thought, and this music is designed to provide vivid ambiance for the mind to consider.” Instagram Facebook

Allowing us to step into his universe as he casts out a spellbinding showcase of his artistic talents, KeMoNi has our senses at an all-time high in this thought-provoking expose of the cognizant mechanics steering his mind titled “On Go.” Welcome to BuzzMusic, KeMoNi. The sound that you radiate in “On Go,” truly has us recognizing the power you have in your delivery and brand! Could you please share the inspiration behind this song? Thank you for having me on! "On Go" -- man, this song, this song has such a strong history to even begin. This song is a nod and appreciation to the era of R&B music back in the 2000s, the birth of the Neyo, Marques Houston, Ray J, B2K, and Chris Brown. I wanted to emulate with a modern spin to those classical times of R&B, to really show my deep appreciation to what I call the "Evolutionary Era" of R&B. "On Go" is my call back to just pure love-making. What went into the creative process of “On Go?" Did you find that the process for this song varied from the others on the album or did it stay true to the scheme you approached? I met Malachi "MacBizzy" Powell, the producer of this beat, sometime in August of 2020; he heard one of my songs off an IG live review show and wanted to work with me. I was scrolling through his page and instantly fell in love with one of the many amazing beats he had, and that would now be "On Go". I was just beginning to get over a horrible breakup with my ex, which at the time I needed an outlet to remind myself that love is still obtainable in contrast to my experience in that relationship. Fast forward to January 2021, In preparation for putting together my album, "On Go" had to be put into the album as it made perfect sense story-wise, but I was stumped and could not find the inspiration to finish this song. It wasn't until MacBizzy reminded me of my potential and, like an amazing friend, he pushed me to work harder and harder on this song. Quite frankly this song and "Hold Up!" ironically were the only songs on the album that took the longest to make, but these songs are the key songs that really push my artistry to such a dynamic level. With the push of MacBizzy and my team at Media Vybe Entertainment, I was finally able to finish my Album 'L.o.V.E [LettingOutVariousEmotions]' and in turn, I was able to find love not only in myself but in others as well. You are a Jack of all trades when it comes to your craft. As a singer-songwriter, audio engineer, producer, CEO of the label Media Vybe Entertainment, and photographer, do you happen to have a favorite part of your artistry that you showcase to the public? What’s your reasoning? Haha, why yes, one could say that I juggle way too many hats, but honestly, I feel my image as an Artist is pushed to the front because when they see me I want everyone to see that I do have a passion for music but I am soo much more than that. I care about everything and everyone, in fact, the only reason why I started my own label Media Vybe Entertainment (MVE), is to show that you can have all the key elements of life, fun, love, and ambition whilst being about business. A lot of labels I have seen run a business off scamming their artists which in turn lowers their morale for the sake of business. My goal in life and within my label is far greater than that. I want to show the world love, finish what Michael Jackson started. What is the concept locked into 'L.o. V.E [LettingOutVariousEmotions]?' Was there a specific moment or story that shaped your motives to put this body of work out? 'L.o.V.E [LettingOutVariousEmotions]' is the epitome of love itself, in addition to the first in a trilogy of a relationship. First, you have love, this ranges from the talking stage, the dates, the sex, and the point where the feeling of love actually happens. With the help of producers such as Noden (Mixtape Seoul), Jaydot, J. Grooves, MacBizzy (MVE), Treymxn, BEATCoin, Def Starz, and Dystinkt Beats; and features from dope indie artists such as Rad HD, Jquaris, MAI (MVE), and Novadabrat; This is for everyone who has ever been in love and I am sure everyone can relate to every single song on this album, even the beginning with a close friend of mine, Ken Goings. His words of wisdom have inspired me further to "bring back love". Each song is based on emotions and moments we have all went through in the stage of love. What's next for you? I have to complete the story, I cannot go into more details for the next project (it would ruin the mystery) however, the next project is definitely showcasing a completely different side of me. Stay tuned, and follow me on social media to stay up to date. Again, thank you for having me. Also viewers, please be sure to checkout BuzzMusic for amazing & dope content! Instagram
