It's not often we get to witness an incomparable climb of pace from South London's own Fobiah. A rap/hip-hop phenom that started his artistry in graffiti, Fobiah shows no reluctance and pure intensity as he makes his mark on the map. While beginning his ascent in 2008, his first projects were released in 2012/2013. A natural poet, listeners can immediately identify the lyrical potency and creative magnitude Fobiah boasts. The intro highlighted by a soft flute and steady ambiance draws you into a verse that steadily grasps the power and weight of a song possessing swagger and a visceral message. As the audience indulges in Fobiah's hit track "Feelin" an overwhelming sense of affinity for the gravity of emotion and vulnerability illustrated in the writing is undeniably felt. The significance of the expression heard is a welcomed apprehension and, as the song progresses, an increasingly relatable venture of detail grows. The evident struggle through darker days in combination with the manifested optimism portrayed in the lyrics gives the listener a vibrant perception of Fobiah's voyage through life. A voyage that has offered a renewed sense of purpose, belonging, and mental fortitude. From dreams of being a pilot to manning the cockpit of his very own remarkable rendition, Fobiah shows discernable promise to keep the temperature high, and audiences everywhere elated and engaged. First off, welcome to BuzzMusic Fobiah, and thank you for sharing your hit track "Feelin" with us. What is the main message you're hoping audiences take from the song? First of all, thank you for giving me the time. That I appreciate. Boy, the main message that I hope listeners can take from it? I didn't write the track with the intent of people listening to get a message from it. I wrote the track as a means to express my hurt and how it shaped me from it. How I chose to let it guide me, rather than let it consume me to the point that I could sabotage myself. Just to stop, analyze, process and move forward being able to watch out from being hurt like that again. If any message I hope people can take from it it's to not allow the hurt to consume you, but to help you be aware of it and to have that hindsight. Can you walk us through some of the steps in production you took in bringing this project together? I was listening to instrumentals on YouTube and came across "NVM" which is what the beat is called for "Feelin'". I let it play for a bit, then when the beat dropped, I paused my shit and just started bopping my head, instantly felt the track and began writing random lyrics in my head, just fully felt it. About a week later while on my way to work, I was at a station, waiting for my delayed train to arrive and just came up with lyrics and wanted to see if they fit the beat, it did and so I started a writing session while waiting for my train. I believe I wrote 5% at that time, then later in the week wrote up to half while walking. A week after that I finished it. It's not a long track by any means, but I take time with my writing. I like to make sure what I'm saying holds substance, truth, and skill. When I was happy with edits, hit the studio and banged it out. Originally, I was gonna sing at the end, but my friend Zion told me it needs a real singer on it (I can't sing well) so I asked my friend if she'd be down and she was. She came and laid the last part down and it was complete. How has South London impacted your music and is there anyone specifically that you draw influence and inspiration from? Rah, the dirty South. I believe just taking pride that this is where I live, more specifically Croydon. Just proud of what we have and what we've done. When it comes to rap, south London rappers hold a unique sense of skill, which I'm still learning from. I got to. As for inspiration wise, I never grew up on UK Hip-Hop, I didn't even know it existed at that time. Partly because my mum banged out old skool Hip-Hop with the current at that time. My influences are from there. Tupac, De La Soul, Onyx, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, K.R.S One, Rakim and Eric B, Chamillionaire, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Mos Def (Yasiin Bey), Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole. I believe that's it. Can fans expect to hear more of your great sound in the near future? Absolutely. You mad? Nah man I can't stop. I won't stop. This is my enjoyment right here. This is my love, my passion (apart from acting). I'm cooking at the moment, making a bigger project for this year. It's almost finished actually. Just need to make sure I'm happy with it before I finish it and put it out. The beginning of professional projects. What's next for you? Next? Next is the project I just mentioned and then lay out a plan for this year and the coming years. A friend of mine set up a road map for last year and I'm gonna continue doing that for myself. I gotta get my mindset and locked into that way of thinking so that I can hit the targets. That forward way of thinking. Just like a business would have, it's very vital to have one for yourself. A road map for you. Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

Find yourself enthralled by the serene stylings of Madelyn Grant, especially through her latest single, "Can't Get Out," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We're head over heels for the soul and empowerment you've delivered within your single "Can't Get Out." What inspired you to write and create this piece? I was inspired to write this piece during a time when I felt incredibly stuck and it feels even more relevant during this pandemic. The lyrics “can’t get out” refer to being limited by patterns in our mind, ones that hold us back and keep us from moving forward. Do your songs usually reside within the organic and nostalgic tones of r&b, similar to the sounds of "Can't Get Out?" Definitely! I was lucky to work with friends and collaborators who I knew could take the songs to the next level. I hired Tyler Duncan, known for his work with Theo Katzman and Vulfpeck, along with Woody Goss (Vulfpeck), James Cornelison, and Julian Allen to help me arrange and record the tunes. I was very inspired by Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, and Adele's approach to record making. I wanted to make music that is timeless. How did you want your listeners to react and feel after listening to the emotional and relatable lyricism you've written for "Can't Get Out?" I want listeners to be able to take time and reflect and look inward. I'm hoping this song can offer up a feeling of connection and relatability. A lot of us are struggling with our mental health during these challenging times. It's so important to know that you're not alone! You've collaborated with some of the biggest names in EDM. How did those past collaborations help you in your journey as an artist? My past collaborations with ODESZA and FKJ helped me tremendously to find my path as an artist and songwriter. I'm so thankful for the experiences of going on tour with Emancipator and performing with FKJ because it fortified the fact that I wanted to keep pursuing music, and ultimately inspired me to start recording my own music. I can't wait for people to hear the new music off the EP! What would you like listeners to know about you and the music that you create? As someone who grew up in metro Detroit, I was raised on Motown music. Motown helped me find my voice as a singer. I started off singing in choir in middle school, and eventually, it led me to auditioning for solos and duets. My first duet was "Respect" by Aretha Franklin and I performed with my best friend. It was the catalyst for many more years of singing and performing. I wanted my first project to honor the Motown sounds of Detroit, but also put my own spin on classic soul music and create a modern soul and R&B record.

Welcome to BuzzMusic Alexander, and congratulations on your first release of the year, “Doesn't Matter To Me.” What inspired the song's passionate and playful lyricism? Thank you. I am really excited about my new music in 2021. ‘Doesn’t Matter To Me’ was made fairly quickly. My mom and I were driving and listening to the beat back in September, it’s always good to listen on car speakers. It had a slower beat than my previous song releases, and so after a few times playing the music, she said to me that all she could hear were the words – it doesn’t matter to me. She had the melody for the chorus from that, and I voice recorded her repeating it. We talked about what didn’t matter and what direction it should go. I am only 13 so I am hardly in any romantic relationship, but relationships come in different forms. We talked about what that might mean for different people. She played Billy Joel ‘Uptown Girl’ and we talked it over sitting in LA traffic. Sometimes relationships are forbidden by family or friends, who don’t approve – because of peer pressure, culture, religion, or timing. This became the basic theme of the song. Forbidden love and how it doesn’t matter what anyone says, you just have to find your way. Who created the beat for your single "Doesn't Matter To Me?" Do you usually work with certain producers or engineers? We work with many different producers; it depends on the sound/beat we are looking for. ‘Doesn’t Matter To Me’ was given with the idea it would be a hybrid English-Spanish song, but although my mom tried to make suitable lyrics in Spanish, it just wasn’t working. In 2020 we had one team working on my music, but this year, we wanted to mix it up and work with different producers and engineers that could bring new vibes as my voice grew and I personally matured. We are always open to working with new people as it’s important that we explore new beats and expand our vision - I am yet to be fully settled on my own style but I know that I want to write and contribute to every record. How does the music video for "Doesn't Matter To Me" emphasize the song's passionate and heartfelt theme? We wanted the music video for ‘Doesn’t Matter To Me’ to be a solitude journey, plus the whole pandemic situation and large sets had us looking for simplicity. My single ‘Your Smile’ was filmed on Malibu beach with a couple of friends so this had to be different. We really wanted to walk in New York or London passing iconic buildings but that wasn’t possible, so we thought of famous landmarks in Los Angeles. We ended up at the famous Thunder Road race location from ‘Grease’ (1978) in Downtown Los Angeles, under the 6th Street bridge. It’s just me and a single camera walking and telling the story of the song. We filmed it on February 21st, and it was a typical sunny Sunday afternoon in LA. Can you tell us more about your brand and your music? What do you promise to serve listeners through your music? I am British so I really gravitate towards the Brit-pop culture – One Direction and Take That but as I grow older my personal brand will grow with me – for now, it’s young teen pop, but the new songs for this year are definitely more mature. I am particularly proud of this year’s music because I was allowed to fully write on each and every record. I had a lot of say lyrically on Doesn’t Matter To Me, and what I felt comfortable singing. In particular, the next three coming out later in the year I am involved in much more. By the time I turn 14 in June, I will have musically evolved to my fans that much more and I’m excited to share the different sounds we have been playing with. I promise to always write music people can relate to, happy, fun, pop, and radio-friendly, especially for my age group and peers. What is the best advice someone has given you when it comes to creating music? My mom says I have to love my songs as I am the one who will have to live with them for a long time. The writers, producers, and engineers will be gone and what’s left will be me and my music. If I don’t like something, I am encouraged to speak up, offer changes, bring up ideas because ultimately the music I create is tailormade for me, to tell a story I want to tell through music. If I give each song my best, I will be proud of it and it will come across to the listener. She also says – stars don’t brag, they shine. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC #AlexanderJamesRodriguez

Combining the name of her pop icon Lady Gaga, and her own nickname, the musical persona Lady Yasmina was born in 2019. The singer and rapper channeled her love of camp and comedy into the music that she creates. Her obsession with Pop culture and the 90's era is also closely integrated into her musical choices and looks presented. While she wants her audience to laugh at the crazy visuals and relatable lyrics, she pays close attention to the production of every one of her songs so listeners can appreciate the infectious beats. Her obsession with Pop culture and the 90s era is also closely integrated into her musical choices and looks presented. Spreading a nostalgic twist that submerges your mind in wistful R&B tenors, Lady Yasmina turns heads in her latest single, "Check." The angelic reverberations that pour from her spirited passion set flame to the delicate instrumentation at hand. Mid-tempo and vibrant to the touch, this blissful soundscape presented has us swimming in a pool of the artistic versatility that reigns from Lady Yasmina. Vocalizing luxurious sound waves that trickle into themes of demanding respect while securing the bag, the sultry poise that radiates from Lady Yasmina has us caught up in all of the self-assured vibes as she flaunts her confidence like it's going out of style. Transmitting her energy to her audience, she encourages us to ooze the same confidence that we admire in the zest that Lady Yasmina sprinkles over her creations. Taking reminiscent hues and presenting a tribute, she has a knack for creating her lane while paying dues. Captured in the euphonious harmonies that glisten brighter and brighter as "Check" progresses, Lady Yasmina transitions from heavenly vocals to hard-hitting bars as she takes us on a tour of her undeniable talents. As she continues to flow straight from the heart, we fixate ourselves on the buoyant persona that she gracefully exudes. With Lady Yasmina at the helm, we'll gladly board her sonic expedition of sweet melodies. Congratulations on the release of “Check.” What inspired the creation of this song? I booked this lead role in a short film a few years ago. It was exciting at first but the process continued to get worse and worse. Each day a new person would quit because they couldn't handle the director and there was no organization whatsoever. I stuck through it and ended up waiting almost 6 months to be paid. I got suspicious as to why it was taking so long and found out my castmates were paid months before I was. I said "Oh...oh no that's not gonna work", and kept bugging the director every other day until he paid me in full. It was a big wake-up call for me to be more confrontational in this industry because I really did feel like he took advantage of my politeness. And when it comes to money, I can't keep giving people chances when they continue dropping the ball, because at the end of the day I need to pay bills and eat! This bad bitch awakening happened when I began writing music. And thus, "Check" was born. How does “Check” hold up to other songs in your music catalog? It definitely has a more serious tone than my other work. My songs like "Baroque" and "High For the Holidaze" are both very comedic. But I do want to incorporate mature themes in my music down the road. When my friend first listened to it she said "Oh this is like a serious song" I was like, um yeah! A few people were a bit thrown off by it since it's different then what I'm used to creating. But I've gotten positive feedback, and it's a good intro to a new sound I'm experimenting with. It's a bit darker but still revolves around my common theme of money and is definitely more empowering. Could you please take us into what the creative and recording process looked like when fashioning this song? I usually like to write my songs before going into the studio or having a rough outline of them. I'm not the savviest with instruments so it's easier if I get the words down first and then I can have a producer help me build chords and such around it. So I wrote the hook of the song and my head kept playing this 90's R&B loop around it. And I also wanted a strong beat and bass to give it a more threatening attitude during the rap section. I literally texted the producer, Metta Beshay, "Can you make a track with all these elements?" And he basically got it done in one go. I then went to my friend Konrad, whose artist's name is Kedo Rebelle, to record and write with me. It took a few tries to find where my voice fits in the track but I finally landed on a light, head voice singing style that matched perfectly. The recording process went really smoothly and the lyrics flowed as we went because we felt that confident in the song. What are you hoping that your listeners take away from “Check”? I hope it helps my listeners realize their worth in life. To never sell yourself short or worry about sounding too mean when asking for something. The more you see yourself as a boss the more it manifests in your day-to-day life. This song is for my over thinkers! It's easier said than done, but don't stress what people are going to think about you because you're a valuable asset. If they continue to treat you like less, take your business elsewhere. Do you have a personal favorite lyric from "Check"? "Imma be the bitch that signs your check!" Pretty self-explanatory. I belt that verse about once a day in my head or out loud.

Brooklyn-based Songwriter from Tel Aviv, Itamar, interlaces gripping melodies with raw lyricism. He forms adept arrangements supporting sincere, poetic-while-straightforward songs. Itamar embarked on a sonic journey from a young age, initially expanding his expression through saxophone performance and composition. Upon moving to Brooklyn, New York, he became entranced by popular music and contemporary production. Itamar's music is the product of this departure. His latest four-track EP, 'Tomorrow Was Today,' exudes larger-than-life sounds as he collaborates with Yoni Mariner and O Mer, to bring the Pop flavor in this project the resonance it deserves. Touching on his tailored sound through numerous musical origins, Itamar delivers a profound exhibition of his talents. 'Tomorrow Was Today' begins with the eloquent introductory song, "One to Five." A lively ambiance pulsates through high-energy enthusiasm as we are greeted with instrumentation that bounces upon your mind. Itamar's performance welcomes you to the raw talent that the elusive soundscape conveys. You're immersed in the harmonious bliss of Itamar's expression through the delivery of his abstract poetic lyrics, "Everything's too much and never enough. Satisfaction is a cruise that never takes off." Exemplifying his life story as we cascade upon the victorious essence, Itamar sets a fortified tone in the effortless presence of "One to Five." Slowing down the tempo as we sink into the reflective state of mind carried forth, "What You Are" delves into the depth of authentic themes to the core. Tight drum patterns board the rhythmic drive that chugs through sparse lyrics that fill out the song's spirit in a major way. Mesmerizing elements in the instrumentation transport your mind to reminisce on the wistful winding roads that life provides as part of the process. Itamar's tantalizing tone has you subjected to his warmth as distant; mind-altering saxophone components greet the musical composition in a golden moment that has you fixated on, "What You Are." The title track of the striking, "Tomorrow Was Today," offers up a sizzle of funk as the enticing qualities have you up out of your seat and swaying from side to side in the manner that the heavy grooves move you both literally and metaphorically. Capturing moments of being lost in your mind, Itamar has you ready to surrender to the unforgettable lyrics in play. Gravitating towards the entrancing vocals that Itamar vulnerably exhibits, we are lured into the world of Itamar at our own will and love the inventive views from here. As we come to the end of Itamar's EP, 'Tomorrow Was Today,' we reach a point where all of our senses are heightened in the comforting sorrows voiced in "Sirens." Speaking from the unknown and uncertainty, Itamar fuses his charismatic appeal with the inner truth weighing on his authentic being. Placing hope in the realm of musical manifestation, Itamar sends out these words in full confidence that he can relate to his listeners as he draws them in, one sweet note at a time. As he has demonstrated through the entire project, he is capable of auditory art that you can texturize with your emotions. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Itamar, and congratulations on the release of, 'Tomorrow Was Today.' As you dive deep into your poetic side to produce emotional lyrics, what was your inspiration behind the theme of this project? Thanks, BuzzMusic, good to be here! Initially, I think I was just getting things off my chest. I wasn’t trying to connect the songs thematically and wasn’t even thinking of them as one body of work necessary. However, with each song, something of a theme was revealing itself. In the end, it seemed like the whole time I’d been looking at the same thing from different angles, namely, the line between forming an identity and fabricating one. Where did you come up with the inspiration for the name of the EP, 'Tomorrow Was Today?' This title tries to capture the confusing expectation in my head to “keep up“ in an increasingly changing world and raises the question of whether there is actually something to keep up with. It seems so easy to just feel overwhelmed all the time, but I don’t want that. So I think about it, write about it, and try to act on it so I can be more present. Out of the four songs that are on 'Tomorrow Was Today,' do you have a specific one that resonates with you more? It’s interesting how different artists experience and relate to their own music. I’m not among those who can’t listen to it, but I also try not to indulge in it more than necessary (which to me is in the making and performing of it). When I come to it as a “listener” (inasmuch as I can do that), the way each song hits me changes quite often. So far there hasn’t been one consistently more resonant than others. I will say that Siren is possibly the one that I regard as best-written, although this may change too. What would you like your listeners to take away from the music that you create? In all honesty, whatever they find in it! One of my favorite things is playing a new song to a friend and realizing how different their ideas and interpretations are from mine. Through that experience, I find new meaning in my own music and I love it. I really think if I told listeners what to take, I’d ruin it for them (and I would feel the same as a listener). What has been keeping you inspired to create music throughout 2020? For a good part of 2020, creating has been difficult and I felt like I had to take a step back and observe, my surroundings as well as myself. Some of the things that have been keeping me inspired are working on music with other artists (wherever and whenever safely possible), spending more time experimenting in the studio, discovering new music (or old music that’s new to me, which is my favorite to discover) and finding a daily meditation routine.

The Germany-based singer-songwriter and actress UTE returns to BuzzMusic to hit the big screen with her personal and informative documentary entitled "Music Makes Me Fly." Taking us through a typical week in Ute's life, she allows her audience to get to know the many musical and day-to-day endeavors she takes part in. The early scenes of the film take place at Gaga Studio in Hamburg, Germany, where UTE records her version of Queen's "Love of My Life," alongside studio owner Hans-Jurgen Steffen and engineer Marc Schettler. When speaking upon working with UTE and the atmosphere she brings in the studio, Schettler stated, "In the studio situation, normally we have stress and pressure, but working with UTE is completely the opposite of that. She comes in and is always in a happy mood, and this happy and positive thinking comes over to me, and I feel good when I'm working with her." Throughout the documentary, we also get to know UTE's more personal side through her relationship with her mother, Gabriele Schönherr. Not only does Gabriele sit in the booth while UTE is recording, but the two regularly have tightly scheduled appointments with makeup artists, nail salons, and hairdressers. When touching on his day with UTE, hairdresser Kai Uhlmann also mentioned the constant pleasure it is to work alongside UTE, "We've known each other for 8 or 9 years now, and she comes every three weeks for cut and color, and we always have a great time, she's always in a good mood, and we always have lots of fun." Gearing up for UTE's concert in Eckernförde, Germany, she's accompanied by producer Kurt Wipfli and engineer Marc Schettler, not to mention her mother and sister, who stand by while UTE begins soundcheck. As UTE starts singing her rendition of The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You," she keeps our attention drawn onto the angelic and soulful vocal flairs she sweetly offers during soundcheck. Later on, UTE ventures over to the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes Football game, where she sings the national anthem for the eighth year in a row. Throughout the documentary, we can see how busy and tightly-scheduled UTE's days are, especially as she returns to the concert scene in Eckernförde, Germany, and hits the stage with a jam-packed audience. Wearing a bright blue floral jacket to keep her warm on stage, she truly wears her brand on her sleeve as her personality and charisma are equally as bright as her attire. When reflecting on the concert over an interview, UTE mentioned that she followed up acts who were heavy rock and smooth jazz; however, the audience was as eager as ever to listen to her soothing sound, "I think our music is timeless, and what we do is less is more," stated UTE. While onboard a sailboat for the Kieler Woche sailing event, UTE was gifted the ball from the football game the day prior, "They all signed the ball, it was really an honor, one day I will have a studio full of footballs," quotes UTE. Moving over to Townhall Stage in Kieler Woche, Germany, UTE performs her original music for soundcheck, preparing for the night's performance while already garnering the attention of onlookers. Fleeing to San Antonia, Texas, UTE later records her original song "Snowflakes" at Blue Cat Studio to end the documentary. Closing the film with UTE's personal interview giving us more detail on her musical past and future, she truly lets us into her musical and inspirational world through each scene in this thorough and compelling documentary.

When I am on stage or in a studio I concentrate so much on the song I am performing and the message I’m trying to bring to my audience, that my body seems to be lifted up by my voice into the sky and I get the feeling that I just have to spread my arms and they become wings and I start to fly.
