Alternative Hip-hop has a new face, and it belongs to independent artist ANDY. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, ANDY finds inspiration in artists such as Kanye West, Travis Scott, and Kid Cudi. He has been officially making music for the past three years but has been actively involved in the music scene over the last ten years of his life. Fresh off of his debut EP's release, 'L8TYEAR B4 LAUNCH,' ANDY is back with a hunger in his tone and powerful work ethic to match. Bringing forth the melodic bliss sprinkled in, "SpeedRacer," the melismatic tenors that pour from this piece have us turning up the volume and submerging ourselves in the mind-altering charisma that ANDY manages to bring to the table in each of his releases. As ANDY exudes prevailing timbres as he approaches his verses with a fusion of emcee-like bars and melodic lyrics hitting our singing sensation radar, we admire the passion that is poured into this body of work. "SpeedRacer," dips us into an opulent universe that features reflections of Travis Scott's memorable tempo changes and slick cadences. Heightening our senses as we float into the lucid atmosphere ANDY fashions through his beguiling charm, we submit ourselves to the idea that "SpeedRacer," will be on repeat for time to come. The enigmatic spirit that lurks in the approach that ANDY uses to attack a beat is here to stay. As he continues to customize his own lane by expanding on musical inspiration to come before him, we have no doubt that we will see ANDY's name in bright lights in the near future. Congratulations on the release of your latest hit, “SpeedRacer.” We are enthralled with the atmosphere that you create in this song! What moment or story inspired the artistic direction that you run with? Thank you guys for having me! This is super dope! Man...SPEEDRACER’s story starts with me watching the anime show speed racer and I was going through a tough time mentally. I believe music becomes relatable when you tie references of nostalgia to it, so I tied the show's influence and the world to how I felt about a certain bond I was in. I wanted to make a song about someone finally being able to hold their weight in a relationship. That “hey I’m better now and I want to show you I’m better” so the next day I hit that booth with nothing but that energy to deliver that story Could you please share a glimpse of what your creative process looked like when you sculpted the sound for “SpeedRacer”? Was the creative direction of you both singing and rapping always in place for this record? At first, I wanted it to be nothing but singing, not like R&B but more like some melodic Kid Cudi vibes for sure. But I decided to rap the versus so people could really listen. I like sounds...shit that takes you to the moon and back. I wanted the instrumentation to make you feel the adrenaline while the words hit you with emotion. Kinda like the race scenes in the anime There is some talk about more projects coming from you; which we are thrilled to hear! Are you able to let your audience know what you have in store? Hmm maybe another project coming soon, It’ll have to be something you can mosh and cry to at the same time but look cool as fuck while doing it. Let’s just foreshadow that. As an artist, you have a message to deliver to your audience. What is the main message that you send out to your listeners through your music? The world only gets one you, be legendary, feel everything and be unapologetic when you do it. Experience and embrace the unpredictable because there’s no blueprint to life. But whatever you don’t be afraid to embrace the feelings you feel. What's next for you? I got a new song dropping out in April called “The Chase” I get more personal with reflecting on my past which is a first for me so I’m excited to let my listeners hear what’s in store. Instagram

Evan Croft is a Canadian-born entertainer who continuously raises the bar and seizes the many creative possibilities throughout his journey. Stylistically, his sound blurs the lines between Hip-hop, Electronic, Pop, and R&B, which captures a beguiling and one-of-a-kind tone. Evan Croft doesn't go by the usual limitations, and instead of creating barriers for himself, he follows opportunities truly meant for himself. Swarmed in an ethereal universe that dabbles into an upbeat vibrancy, the buoyant dreamscape of "Get to Know Me" is brought to life by Evan Croft. Immersing the speakers in a charismatic tone that allows his authenticity to glimmer brightly, we're enthralled by the mesmerizing hues showcased by Evan Croft. The thriving manner in which his lyrical content brightly pours a glimpse into his reality is remarkable. Evan Croft indulges himself and listeners in a storytelling technique that is scattered through the words he radiantly croons. As we begin to fixate ourselves on the narrative's depth, we hear that Evan Croft is swooning the apple of his eye. Instead of wanting to indulge in the night of a lifetime without getting to know one another, he wants to take the time to learn more about her and for her to learn more about himself. Bringing us through the intricately scripted verses that have us on his hook, Evan Croft flashes a full-blown performance as he has his audience up and dancing each time the alluring chorus comes around and sweeps us off our feet. "Get to Know Me" registers as a certified hit-making waves in the realm of Evan Croft's uniquely fashion panache. Be sure to listen for yourself and turn up the volume. We love the vibes that you serve in “Get to Know Me.” Was the narrative of this story based on a real-life experience? This was based on me meeting a girl after one of my shows and we got close for a while. After about a week, I noticed she liked me for my talents and the way I dress & I didn’t want that kind of relationship. I wanted her to like me not just because of my talents, but because of who I am. Could you please share a glimpse of the creative process that brought “Get to Know Me,” to the ear of the public? I found myself making love songs talking about a girl I met and what I like about them. For this song, I wanted to try something different and write a type of love song that talks about her and me. With the upbeat liveliness of this song, how does it compare to other songs that you have in your music catalog? This song has a more Hip-Hop/R&B vibe than most of the songs on my Pop album. As you said, it’s more upbeat and livelier than songs I used to make. How have you found yourself growing as an artist from your first release to now? I really have. Before, I used to write the first words that came to my head and release them. Now, after I write a verse or a chorus, I take my time to review it, make any necessary changes, and test it out before moving on. What's next for you? Next, I plan on releasing my debut album on May 14th. Instagram

Originally from the coast of Florida, Amelia Island to be exact, LAYTON is making major waves with her distinctively beachy, sun-kissed Pop flavor. Growing up drawn towards music, this brought LAYTON to Nashville in 2015 to study songwriting at Belmont University. She began writing and releasing melodies in the style of singer-songwriter and folk, releasing these songs on her Soundcloud and nurturing her lyrical instincts for honest and personal storytelling. She quickly found her sound in the Pop community and began to branch out from her formerly acoustic sound, but never leaving behind her singer-songwriter lyrical sensibilities. LAYTON’s debut single “sad boy,” infuses a buoyant atmosphere that trickles into her profound lyrical techniques as she exercises her fortified skillset as a songwriter. This pulsating Pop vibration has us fully immersed in the palliative hues that sway in the full throttle of LAYTON. She effortlessly flows through the instrumentation with a nimble sense of urgency to hypnotically deliver the message that we hear and crave. Undaunted to plunge into the depths of her lyrical motifs, the words trickling into “sad boy,” illuminate the authentic life experiences that LAYTON has experienced with a certain someone, and is quick to reiterate. The type of confidence that LAYTON showcases through this track truly attaches to the narrative of this musical tale. Managing to paint brightly lit images that float in our head as we hang on to each line she strikingly croons, the luscious reverberation that scoops LAYTON’s vocals into an enthralling dreamscape of upbeat vibrancy has us shook to the core. For a debut single, the solidified foundation that this has implanted upon us is exceedingly raising the bar for the genre of Pop. Known for her features with Lyfes, Prymo, and Bardo, we have no doubt that LAYTON will be establishing her name in a major way with bops to come. Congratulations on the release of “sad boy.” We love the entire arrangement of this masterpiece! As artists, there is a certain vulnerability that some feel that they can or cannot cross. When creating music do you have any boundaries in place for yourself? Thank you so much!! I totally sometimes feel that way to an extent and have to pull back a little or change some lyrics in the song if I feel like I'm overstepping or getting too personal, but I definitely try to be as honest as I can with my lyrics at the same time. The boys I've written songs about 100% know when they're about them haha. Really, I think music is a place for me to be more vulnerable than I would in real life and in real conversation, so I try to push my boundaries instead of limit myself when it comes down to it. Could you please share what the creative and recording process looked like when fashioning your debut single, “sad boy?" Yes! I wrote "sad boy" in the summer of 2019 with my roommate, Blaire Elbert and, Autumn Buysse who is one of my best friends and an incredible songwriter in Nashville. I went to Autumn's house and was just ranting about this boy that I was hanging out with at the time. He was kind of leading me on and kept making excuses as to why he couldn't be in a relationship and I was just kind of over it. I kept referring to him as a sad boy and Autumn really liked it so we came up with the chorus idea and finished the song in a few hours. We sat on her living room floor and drank wine out of mugs and were finished with the entire song by the end of the night. I brought it to my good friend, Landon Sears who produced it with his roommate Michael Simpson. Blaire came with me to record and hopped on some background vocals, my friend Chris Miller happened to be at Landon's when we were working on it and got on some vocals as well. We sent it to my friend Andy Centner who tracked the guitar and sent it back and it was mastered by my friend Cody Norton in Hendersonville. It became a whole group project with my friends from college and me which made it so much more fun. Did you find that the creative process varied when creating a solo track, versus being featured on a collaboration? The process between the two for me is pretty different. When it comes to creating a solo track from scratch, I'm able to make it more personal, spend more time on it, and get it to sound exactly how I want it, which could take months. I don't stress as much when writing a track for collaboration since it isn't my musical composition and is not a song for me as a solo artist. When I collapsed with Lyfes on "West Coast" for instance, I was able to finish the lyrics in a day since I was just writing over a beat that he sent me to work on. I love both processes, but I'm much more particular when it comes to writing and releasing songs alone to put out as a solo project. What does “sad boy” mean to you as the creator? What are you hoping that listeners take away from this track? This song means a lot to me since it was such a long process and such a project that my friends and I worked so hard on to get just right. It was also nerve-wracking to release since it was my very first single as a solo artist and was pretty much my debut as a songwriter and singer for pop music. I really like the honesty in the lyrics and the fact that I was able to write and create it with my best friends in Nashville. I love that I was able to tell a story that I think people can relate to while throwing in subtle but specific hints on who it is about and my personal situation with a non-relationship and kind of make fun of it. I'm really proud of "sad boy" and I hope people see that and like it as much as I do. Instagram Twitter

Orlando, Florida is home to singer-songwriter A Beck. With a unique voice, his musical styling touches almost every genre. Being able to pen catchy hooks and soulful melodies he provides us with serious vibes that break him out of his delicate tenured shell. Recruiting the artistic style of That Devastator, A Beck takes us into his intricately sculpted galaxy in the hit single, “Vibes.” Nostalgic shimmers lay down the Contemporary R&B soundwaves as he builds on his musical structure with a euphonious framework. “Vibes,” allows you to stew in a miscellany of your own thoughts as you explore the venues that A Beck’s tender vocalization navigates you through as it fuses together with the danceable melodies dripping in the production value. The intensity of his tone chimes into an enthralling soundscape focused on the overall quintessence of vibrations exchanged. You feel the buoyancy in “Vibes,” keeping you afloat as you drift into your own vivid imagery of what your happy place encompasses. Symbolizing the warmth emitted through a sweltering interchange of energy, we must admit that this track has us scaling the entire music library of A Beck. Locked into the advancing effervescence that grows in concentration, we are open to being exposed to the vibes that A Beck and That Devastator provide. Crooning prevailing tones that are conveyed with a fervent juxtaposition, A Beck makes it known that you shouldn’t mistake his vulnerable side for weakness; he’s a heavy hitter in the music industry. We can’t get over how much of a vibe “Vibes” truly is. What were the vibes like when you brought this song to life? We can only imagine that energy in the process transpires to what we hear in the song. First I wanna say thank you! Vibes was super dope to make. When I create I like to create purely off of emotion and what I feel in that moment so what happens, happens, it’s all art. When Devastator first sent me the record immediately I connected with the piano chords and the melody just came to life I knew it needed to be simple and just a vibe. How did That Devastator help you to achieve that golden, summer sound that is displayed in this hit? What was it like working together? That Devastator aka I call him Dev, you know he always pushes me to take things to limits that shouldn’t exist but they do because we created that space. Dev is like my executive producer/ big homie we work on almost everything together or I make him listen to everything I touch. This record was actually a beat he made that he felt confident in playing in his Dj sets but he felt I might be able to do something with it so he passed me the rock and I played it up. It’s kind of a Shaq and Kobe thing with us. With every artist varying in technique, we would love to know; when you get down to writing a track, do you pen the hook or the verses first? Why? This one is super difficult for me because I don’t like to think too much when creating. It’s like thinking too many blocks everything that was moving in that direction. So for me usually what comes first is a hook or a concept and then I kind of pen around that just recording melodies and sometimes gibberish. How does “Vibes,” compare to other songs showcased on your music catalog? Vibes to me is a different record than usual for me it still has that urban pop / RnB vibe to it but it was so simple to create and it has that little dance infusion to it I kind of just let the beat push me through this one and allow it to live there big shot out to that Devastator on that part. What can listeners anticipate to hear next from you? I would say listeners can anticipate the unknown. In all seriousness, I’m from Florida so I love to incorporate that sunny vibe just the feel of the summer and nostalgia of it in a lot of my records coming up there will be love stories party stories just in general great vibes, and great energy.

Grizzy Wynter has flashbacks to his childhood days where Reggae and Hip-hop would steer the musical ship he would embark on. Using music as an outlet to escape from the world he lived in, he began writing raps of his own in high school in order to channel his emotions and find his inner voice. With musical influences such as Nas, Tech N9ne, Lil Wayne, and even Linkin Park, Grizzy Wynter allows the influential sounds of these artists to help shape his dreams and goals as the next superstar to ever do it. Recruiting the sounds of Buni Kor in order to deliver the authentic essence of “Reset,” Grizzy Wynter submerges listeners in the melodic resonance of his most recent single. Buni Kor exudes the striking vocalization that fervently drips a sultry desire in the powerful message portrayed. Once Grizzy Wynter hits the track in an empowering storytelling narrative that flaunts his lyrical techniques in a prevalent manner, we immediately sink our teeth into the significance behind the words exuded. Bringing forth a candid and inspirational tale that touches on the themes of finding hope after enduring struggle, the dynamism on display by these two artists unify the genres of R&B and Hip-hop in a way that allows each to shine brightly in their own beam of light. There is a pain in the zealous juxtaposition that Grizzy Wynter conveys as he evocatively delivers each bar. With the focus being on the chronicle of “Reset,” the mid-tempo instrumentation doesn’t need to be embellished with added bells and whistles but instead does the trick in strengthening the implication that is being sent out. “Reset,” has Grizzy Wynter encouraging listeners to press the reset button if they have to. Letting us know that there is no shame in doing so, we love the power and strength behind the goals Grizzy Wynter aligns himself with. Welcome back to BuzzMusic, Grizzy Wynter. We were left feeling inspired by the message you send out in “Reset.” Could you please take us into what inspired the creation of this single? Love to be back it's been a while since the pandemic its been hard to keep in touch, that being said with "Reset" was inspired by my own life struggles and having gone through a dark period of addiction 4 years ago, I wanted to be able to take that pain and loneliness from that time and turn into something positive for someone else who's struggling especially in these times. What was it like working with Buni Kor in order to develop the heartfelt sounds heard in “Reset" How did this collaboration come to life? Kor is the homie, we met on set actually working in the film industry. We actually recorded the song before covid started, his vocal talent and range are incredible and I couldn't imagine anyone else helping me bring this to life. He's felt what I had written and translated that into some of the most beautiful vocals I've ever heard. As an artist, your message is extremely important. What is the main message that you want your listeners to take away from the songs that you release? For me every song is different, but with this one I want people to know that they are not alone and that you don't have to suffer in silence, addiction is so prevalent in our society today, in my city alone last year we had over 1200 last year, that's 200 OD's a month, people need hope and to know things do get better and hopefully, this song will give people that feeling. How do you find the hopeful hues radiating in “Reset,” compared to other songs in your music catalog? With some of my other records, I was trying to entertain or tell a story, with "Reset" I want to reach out to the audience let and give them something that they gave me when I was struggling: Hope. When I was getting my life back together music saved my life, people showing me that they supported me gave me hope, showed me that I could be more than my addiction and I haven't looked back since so I wanted to give that back to the fans and people in my life who gave me back something I thought I had lost, a bright future to look forward too.

Emerging Toronto-based artist Mikey, is multifaceted in the way that he creates. As a singer, rapper, writer, and pianist, he has been creating music for the past six years. His movement as an artist is to take the struggles of the inner city kid and speak about the ups and downs that they go through. Mikey wants to bring forth a balance in his music and show his audience that his sound represents the city and the people in it. Carrying a weighty pull in the tantalizing expressions heard in “Madonna,” Mikey allows an exceedingly robust influence of lyrical wit to fuel the dark crevasses of this eye-opener. The instrumentation remains fairly simplistic in the components that are exuded in the musical portion of this composition. We admire the minimalistic approach that carries just enough oomph in the elements that lay in the production quality as they allow us to focus on the messaging that Mikey emanates as an emcee. A well-rounded exhibition of Mikey’s lyrical dexterity is rather flattering in the shadowy lane that weaves about in “Madonna.” The presence that he uses in his tonal distinction makes it so we hear the hunger, pain, and honesty he is willing to spare. “Madonna,” depicts a storytelling narrative that reminds us of old-school Hip-hop tenors that capture the art and organ of the genre. Bar after bar, there is no need for a chorus as the depth lies in the experiences being lived out in this song. As we come to the final moments of the song, we finally realize who Madonna is and we attempt to put the pieces together as we pick our jaw up off of the floor. Unremittingly exposing his fan base to the various sides of being an inner-city kid, Mikey sprinkles beauty in the traumatizing moments that life expands on. The tale that you dive into is extremely detailed and bold. Was this song based on a real-life experience? Thank you! Yes, the song is very detailed because it is a scenario that really hits home, stories like this are common in the city I grew up in. It's almost normal to get in situations like this even when you're trying to avoid it. So the lyrics are very straightforward and direct, you can feel like it is happening to you. I wanted to show a story about how it is growing up in the areas I live in and also show the reality of what some of us are really going through right now. What are you hoping that listeners take away from your blunt honesty dispersed in “Madonna?" Well, I just hope you like it, and understand the story and really feel it. From there you can depict it in any way you like! Some may see it just as a song that will get you amped and ready, maybe think about people that you have negative situations with, or maybe just sonically and musically like the track, I just hope you like it in all shapes and forms. Dabbling in the numerous elements that you choose to express your artistry, do you happen to have a favorite part of the creative process that you enjoy the most? I honestly enjoy everything about the creative process, I love writing and just getting into my zone, I enjoy listening to beats I've never heard, working and growing relationships with people who want to create with you. Learning new things is a great feeling, sometimes when you create you think of things you would never think of doing and then putting it on a canvas, and then taking it what you've created and finding more ways to make it better. I think that's why I choose different elements being an artist I'm just very passionate about everything about creating. How do you find that “Madonna,” compares to other songs heard in your music catalog? Was the creative process for this track any different than your usual one lived out? Well, this track is old-school, boom bap, storytelling type music, with vivid words and a message, and say this is a great piece me and mailman created. My boy/engineer Mailman produced and engineered this track, he was literally showing me some of his beats and he's a boom-bap guy. He showed me his beats and this one just spoke to me, the guitar sounds so crazy and the little sample was the cherry on the top that I just want to do something with it. I think something that was different? honestly not really, just in the studio creating with a great person and vibing out with something that was made by us. Working on it and working on it till we feel it's done. Instagram

19-year-old XINCLAIR knows that home is where the heart lives from his constant venturing from place to place since a young age. Born in Detroit, Michigan, he has resided in New York, London, Vancouver, and most recently Phoenix, Arizona. Garnering major attention with his loyal and supportive fan base, the masses keep on flourishing as unceasingly translates his thoughts and emotion into musical creations. Notorious for the success of ‘Numb iii,’ XINCLAIR recruits Gun Boi Kaz yet again for another mind-altering hit. This time the dynamic duo chooses to navigate through a melodic force field of musicality that expands their artistic versatility into realms we sonically saturate in. “Goodbye,” is the pacifying track that immerses itself in wistful hues throughout the instrumentation, as the vocalization lures you into its prevailing contributions in asserting a narrative that has substance. Delving into a story that follows a troubled girl who drowns herself in the party lifestyle, the lyrical motifs reiterate the emotional validation that she is seeking as she attaches herself to anyone willing to give her attention. As “Goodbye,” progresses we thrive in the intricate environment that focuses on the harmonious framework enhancing the exhilaration that we experience on this emotion-fueled roller-coaster. XINCLAIR and Gun Boi Kaz accelerate in the manner that they flaunt a vulnerable scope for listeners to peer into. Continuously providing a sense of relatability in the music created by both artists, we admire the fortified unification that unravels brilliant soundscapes like the creations they emit when working together. “Goodbye,” may tell a more melismatic tale, but we prosper in an atmosphere that is placed in front of us by XINCLAIR. We love seeing this side of your artistry and we of course always admire it when you come together with Gun Boi Kaz. What was it like working together for the creation of “Goodbye?" Were the vibes similar or different from when you worked on ‘Numb iii,’ together? The vibe was definitely different from numb iii. That track was made when both of us were in a pretty dark place. Since then we’re both doing a lot better and wanted to make a track reflecting that so goodbye was a complete 180 in terms of the vibe. What inspired the lyrical structure of this song? Was there a specific moment or story that had you delving into the origin of this party girl? The story wasn’t based on any particular experience, rather just the headspace I see a lot of people I know have. I graduated last year and see people I grew up with get completely lost in parties and drugs. Don’t get me wrong I love going out but it gets to a certain point where it starts to drag you down rather than bringing you up. There are talks about a music video in the works for “Goodbye.” We are thrilled to see what you come up with! What can you tell your audience to expect when it comes to the visuals? Kaz flew out to Arizona to shoot the video this week, so we're gonna be getting to work on it soon. In terms of what's in the video I don't wanna give too much away but we're going for a nighttime/party neon type of vibe. Since that's the type of lifestyle in the song I think putting the real-life visuals with that will complete it. Were there any memorable moments that made the creation experience for “Goodbye,” that much more rewarding? The best part of making goodbye was 100% coming up with the hook. I’m pretty new to singing in my songs for most of my career I've just been straight rapping. So coming up with a way to blend the styles together was a must for me, and I think it ended up perfect on the track. XINCLAIR Instagram Gun Boi Kaz Instagram

One of the newest faces on the West Coast music scene, the talented musician, producer, rapper, and singer-songwriter Lee Laamaj releases his toe-tapping single, "Mute." Graduating from the California Polytechnic University of Pomona with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Industry Studies, it's no secret that Lee Laamaj is the industry's secret weapon. Through his recent well-received works, Lee Laamaj stopped at nothing until he appropriately showcased his multifaceted artistic skills. Expanding on his recent single, "Mute," Lee Laamaj drenches this song in confidence and poise through each intricate bar and his rhythmic delivery. While grooving away with the modern r&b/hip-hop production, Lee Laamaj leaves his audience tapping their feet to each and every beat. "Mute" opens with a soothing synth arrangement and Lee Laamaj's warm vocal delivery. Once the up-tempo beat drops with tight drum breaks abound, Lee Laamaj jumps to the forefront and spills his quick-witted bars while dripping with determination and dominance. Also offering his harmonic vocal abilities, we adore how well-rounded and to-the-point this track is. While Lee Laamaj continues riding the beat with his melodic and tight-knit bars, we become more and more impressed with his delivery as he enlivens his audience with nothing but energy. While grooving towards the outro, Laamaj pours his warm vocals over the track one last time for listeners to remember and savor. Don't miss out on Lee Laamaj's energetic hit, "Mute," now available to get down with on all digital streaming platforms. We adore the groove and vibe of your latest single, "Mute." Did anything, in particular, inspire you to create this track? Thank you so much! Honestly, I was thinking about making a classic. I kept asking myself, “What would be a way to be 100% me while still creating an entirely different experience for the listener?” And this is what I came up with. What did you want to get across to your audience through your upbeat and confident lyricism within "Mute?" I wanted to get across the idea of following in your own footsteps. Being able to focus on your own voice instead of hearing others who have opinions on what you should do with yourself. I believe it is a dangerous game trying to please everyone and if you choose to play, then you could end up losing yourself. I want my listeners and fans to take a step back when they play my song, and realize that their voice is more powerful than they think it is. Did you produce "Mute" yourself? Or did you work with any fellow producers for the sonics? How did your creative process go about? I produced it myself! I tend to produce a lot of my own music, it’s just easier that way. The creative process involves me locking myself in my room and adding sounds like a piece to a puzzle starting with the melody. Once The creative process was done, then I headed over to Golden Impala Studios, and my engineer and close friend Julian Salas did his part making sure the beat and my vocals sounded butter smooth. How do singles like "Mute" help listeners get to know you and your sound better? Are you always one to create such dense and tight lyrical content, similar to your bars on "Mute?" This song Gets my listeners to know me by hearing the vibes that you get from the initial beat drop, from the lyrical stories I portray, and from the message I Emphasize through the song. I always try to be a better version of myself every day, and when they play this song, I hope they get that impression and try a be the best version of themself as well. A lot of my music can be dense and lyrically tight, but I also make songs that make you want to get up and dance. I don’t like to put myself in a box because since I am able to create all by myself, I can take my music in any direction I choose. I have rap songs, Pop songs, R&B songs, Caribbean songs, and so much more. But all the fans will be able to check it all out on my Next Project, “Los Vibris Forever,” coming soon. What has been keeping you inspired to create music? Honestly, the fact that I'm great at it. It's the best way I know how to express my emotions and get things off of my chest. I feel like I am a great communicator, but they’re a lot of things that are just too hard to say that is just easier making a song out of. I've had moments where I wanted to quit, but they are so short-lived because the next day I would be making a beat, then rap or sing on it. I've just come to accept that Making music is who I am, and I would die for it. Also, the fans keep me going! I know they see what I see and hear what I hear when I make these songs. It makes me feel confident knowing that people love my music for me and that they want to hear more and see where the vision of Los Vibris takes them. Instagram Twitter
