- TREY Raises the Bar With Their Alternative Rock Roots
Indie rockers TREY are gearing up for a new album cycle, beginning with the lead single “i forgot that people stayed until i met you.” Adding a unique flair and exuding their quirky traits, for those unfamiliar with TREY, the band’s name is actually pronounced “all caps trey.” Returning to hues of their alternative roots, “i forgot that people stayed until I met you,” simmers on the sensation of finally finding that one person. Captivating passionate tones of gripping emotion, we’re invited into a universe that is custom to TREY. Sonically suave arrangements come flooding into your speakers as you become fixated on the artistic capability that hones in on true Rock elements. Gusty guitar riffs and delicate harmonies come in ethereal waves of strength and emotional moments of weakness as you take in all that is TREY. The poignantly buoyant message creates an affective ambiance that puts you into overdrive as you fall into the depths of the reinvigorated songwriting. The calming vocalization is both elusive and prevailing as you take in each word uttered. The lyrical motif of “i forgot that people stayed until I met you,” is ambitious with highlighting the direct quintessence in strides. Lingering on your mind long after the record completes, this single has us anticipating the next moves from TREY. Bringing larger-than-life nostalgia to our very ears, we’re full-bodied arrangement has us grasping onto the universal appeal that their fan base continues to take in. Welcome to BuzzMusic, TREY, we’ve fallen for the composition that is “i forgot that people stayed until i met you.” What influenced the band to make this the lead single from the forthcoming project? Thanks a bunch for having us! Love what you guys are doing. Yeah, the single really just feels like a return for me as a writer and for us as a band; it feels very close to what our shows have been. Some of our very early stuff was a very full band as well, so it feels really good to have loud guitars and a big, organic rhythm section again. As we’re gearing up for the record, I’ve been distilling the focus of our first full-length down to a few ideas reflective of the past few years as TREY, and IFTPS is really the story of me grappling with myself. It’s TREY at our punchiest and it seemed like the only way to start this cycle. Could you please take us into what themes and message you’re hoping your audience takes away from this piece? My writing has become more introspective over the past 2 years, and IFTPS is really the apex of what I’ve been learning. I’ve never known my biological parents, so I’ve wrestled a bit with feeling like I don’t quite fit anywhere. This song is the realization that everyone, myself included, is worthy of love. There’s no hope for those who choose to see it or to chase it, whatever it might be to the individual, and I think that’s a beautiful thing. How long did it take for you to create and record “i forgot that people stayed until i met you”? At the start of lockdown nearly a year ago, I had begun bicycling every day. I did more than 1000 miles in 2020, and it was honestly one of the most creatively and emotionally refreshing seasons of my life. The chorus lyric and melody came to me during one of my rides at the end of the summer, and I remember wanting to make something that expanded on this idea of people being worthy of love, and I remember wanting to make it hit hard sonically - so I used some older Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay tunes as a reference and it was really pretty quick from there. The way the band is set up is interesting - we live all over the US, so our studio work is all done remotely and we come together for tours. It took like 3 days to get all the guitars and vocals written and tracked, and a few more weeks to polish up drums and get that rad female vocal from my friend Cate Cossin in Albuquerque. With a full-length album in the works, what can you tell your audience about what they can expect in terms of sounds? It’s very cohesive. We’ve put out shorter collections in the past and quite a few singles, and this is the longest TREY release at 11 tracks. It was written and recorded between Fall 2018 and early 2021, so there have been very intentional moves to keep instrumentation relevant to the times but (more importantly) relevant to the record. As we’re finishing tracking for the last few tunes, I’ve dug out the synth patches from the oldest tracks in the set to find ways to write them into these newer songs - and that’s been a really interesting process. I’m a keys player at my core, so this album reflects that quite a bit, just as the lyrics reveal TREY, as a project, at its rawest. What's next for you? I wish I could say touring. This tune, in particular, I can’t wait to play live - it’s one of those tunes that we’re all gonna scream our lungs out to. It looks like that’ll be another year or so, though, so we’re gonna keep writing. We’ve got a music video coming this spring, then one more single, and then the record - and loads more after that. It’s gonna be a good year. Instagram Twitter #BUZZMUSIC
- "Run Away," Into The Luscious Melodies Jack Hawitt Presents
Jack Hawitt is about to have an exciting year. As a Northern artist and songwriter whose writing credits extend to Pharrell Williams and Megan Thee Stallion, Jack Hawitt is making a name for himself in the industry. With Jack Hawitt’s solo releases to date being supported by Spotify, BBC Introducing, Clash magazine, and Metro, he is determined to stay consistent with his undeniable work ethic, and the messaging he places in the music he creates. As Jack Hawitt shines brightly in the glorious arrangement of symphonic strings, and prevailing piano keys, the ethereal ambiance of this Electro-Pop amalgam is what we all know and love as, “Run Away.” Fusing together an anticipating organization of expressive emotion through a mid-tempo ballad, the timbres of Jack Hawitt’s irrefutable reverberations pulsate through your speakers as you hang on to each word he utters. His songwriting techniques are placed high on the totem pole as he sends you through a wave of assurance in this perfectly balanced concoction of space and time that radiates through the tones offered up. The top-quality production elements allow the larger-than-life sounds exuded to ricochet through your mind and linger in place, long after the composition is complete. The lyrical content sways toward melancholy as you embrace themes of heartbreak. However, with the projected vitality that cascades with the brilliant melodies conveyed, you realize that “Run Away,” walks the fine line of a bittersweet thesis. As Jack Hawitt continues to amaze us with his talents, there is no surprise that the music video to accompany, “Run Away,” displays a cinematic reel of a black and white film exploring an intimate setting. If you’re looking to have all the glory that Jack Hawitt exemplifies in a stripped-down setting, well he has you covered. With, “Run Away (Stripped),” taking you on a sonic expedition of glimmering keys, and a rising presentation of the strings, Jack Hawitt’s comforting vocals reinforce that he truly does it all. Congratulations on the release of, “Run Away.” What inspired the lyrical content that we hear on this track? The story of run Away is a blip in a relationship. In a nutshell, it's that when you're so close up to your problems it's hard to see a way out but once you step away and appreciate what you have you can see why you're in the relationship in the first place. We think it's genius to offer up a stripped-down version of, “Run Away.” What encouraged you to release that to the public? I really love the uptempo feel of Run Away but when I was playing it on the piano it also felt really good as a ballad and when I got the strings sent over from Lara I had to make a piano/stings version because they were so beautiful! So get ready for the stripped version on 12th March! You’ve dabbled in various creative avenues throughout your career. Have you found a part of the creative process that you enjoy the most? I do a lot of songwriting for other artists and have done a few bits of production for different projects but I think the thing I really love to do is just collaborate with other creatives. Working with other people and brings ideas from all angles into the mix which takes things to another level in comparison to just working alone. This is why I always collaborate on my own project and work with producers and other writers. Run Away is produced by a super talented producer called Warriner who produced my previous release Almost Lost You and I love his style. He also played drums on the track and we used Lara Simpson and Miriam Wakeling who recorded strings for us and Joe Smithson on Guitar. The input from all of these angles makes it really special. In the visuals for, “Run Away,” was that always the creative direction that you had in mind? How did everything unfold creatively for this process? For the visuals, I worked with the incredible Russell Kent Nicholls and Pierra Goff. I was so excited to work with this team again after we filmed the music video for my Mr. Brightside cover which was used for the launch of Sony's Playstation 5. For Run Away I wanted to create a really stylish video and had the idea to do it in Black and White referencing a Pacco Rabanne Advert. Russell's creative eye, camera work, and editing made the vision come to life and Pierra's photography really brought the whole project and branding together. What can we expect to see next? Next is the stripped version of Run Away which is released on 12th March and I've also shot another music video for that which I'm really excited about. I have lots more music in the pipeline and my debut EP on the way so look out for that! Spotify Instagram Facebook

Find your groove with CONNR's sophomore single, "Feels So Good," and introduce yourself to the modern stylings of his discography, available on all digital streaming platforms. Listen to, "Feels So Good," here. Congratulations on releasing your exhilarating sophomore single, "Feels So Good." What inspired you to create this lyrically autobiographical and inspiring single? Thank you! I was really inspired by 80's music at the time of writing this song as well as just in general, so musically I really wanted to capture that kind of vibe. The music itself actually inspired the lyrics to be especially emotionally compelling - I think the content is something that's relatable for a lot of people. Was it challenging to write about rather emotional lyrical concepts for "Feels So Good"? Or did you find it easy to write lyrics that listeners will resonate with? Actually, the lyrics came about pretty quickly and easily - they were co-written between myself and Jacob Guzman, who I used to play in a band with (Next Door to the Moon). My good friend Anthony Guerra contributed one line, but it's one of the coolest ones so I gotta give him a shout! ("Let's rewind to the beat of your heart.") What was your creative process like for 'Feels So Good" when formulating such a dense sonic atmosphere? Did you work solo on this process? I knew I wanted this song to capture an 80's vibe in a modern sonic scope. I played around with a lot of synth sounds and clean, melodic guitar parts. I wound up combining those elements with really punchy EDM drums. The majority of it I had a pretty clear creative vision for, but the producer of the track (Will Pugh - Cartel/TAURIDS) really helped round out the final product. Could you tell us more about your production company 137 Productions? What sort of artists and music does the company represent? I started 137 Productions a few years ago, basically, as a result of the demand, I was getting for producing other artist's material. I find a lot of joy in having the opportunity to take someone's vision and help make it into something they can be really proud of. I work in a wide variety of genres - rock, pop, hip hop, indie, alternative, folk... the list goes on. What has been keeping you inspired to create music? Just burning passion and drive. I'll never stop making music - it's really my life and has been since I was 11 years old. CONNRmakesmusic.com

- OWL ROSE Unleashes the Beast in "PTERODACTYLS"
Picking up the guitar at age 9, OWL ROSE grew up immersed in the world of alternative music. From being introduced to Ozzy Osbourne and MÖTORHEAD by his father to discovering the wonders of emo culture, music permeated every facet of his life. After several years performing with bands in and around Norwich, United Kingdom, OWL ROSE decided to go solo in order to have more creative control over his songwriting. At age 18, he settled on using the moniker OWL ROSE, a coalescence of his first and middle names, Oliver William Louis, and his surname, in order to stand out from the masses of artists using their real names on releases. Through the thorough sweep of manifestation at its finest, the latest ‘PTERODACTYLS,’ EP from OWL ROSE fuses together brutally honest lyrics exploring the climate crisis, cultural apathy, and mental health issues with hard-hitting riffs. Paying homage to the amplified greats before him, his inimitable vocalization and songwriting techniques differentiate the artist in the UK Alternative scene. Placing prominence on the second track to be featured on this collection, the title track and lead single, “PTERODACTYLS,” has listeners submerged in a raucous environment of dark charisma. The trouncing percussion rings bells as the scorching guitar shreds explore the anticipating tenors that set sail on an unruly flight of heavy-hitting energy. Demonstrating ambition as we reach the slick timbres that below from OWL ROSE, we are accompanied by a various scheme that explores reverberated echoes as well as ferocious growls from within his very being. The manner in which he delivers the components as they collide with the battering technicalities sets a riveting tone of equivocal amalgamation. Ranging in the burrows of grunge-filled Metal meets Alternative Rock bouts, we become accustomed to the menacing offerings served up by OWL ROSE. If this is what we can expect to fuel our essence in the collection of songs on the ‘PTERODACTYLS,’ EP then sign us up on the rigid line. Check out OWL ROSE's latest collection of songs on 'PTERODACTYLS' here. Congratulations on the release of your most recent EP, ‘PTERODACTYLS.’ What inspired “PTERODACTYLS,” to take the spot as the lead single and title track? Thanks for having me! The track PTERODACTYLS is one of the bleaker songs on the release and is an exploration of Western powers' apathy towards the climate crisis and the destruction of our ecosystems. I think what made this song stand out on the EP as the first single was how focused the track is in its lyricism; that, and the breakdown! Could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process looked like when creating and recording this project? The creative process for this EP was a bit weird. It's taken some of the songs months (and even years in a couple of cases) to develop into the state they're in today, and others were written, recorded, and produced in the span of a week. Lyrically, it was really important to me that every song wasn't just me moaning about the state of the world generally, but that each song could tackle a different topic. It was also quite important to me that the lyrics could be reinterpreted by the listener, so I tried to keep the wordings abstract. Do you happen to have a favorite track on the EP that resonates with you more than others? Why? For me, SOLO is an important song. I released it on my debut EP a few months ago, but I feel this reproduction of the piece does its magnitudes more justice. I wrote it at what was possibly one of the lowest points of my life, in terms of my mental health; it was a really useful outlet to vent my feelings, and I hope others can identify with the lyrics. What is the proudest moment in your artistic career this far? What's the reasoning for that? I would definitely say this EP is my proudest moment so far. I tracked and programmed each song, and also mixed and mastered them. It's taken so long it's now my little baby! What can we expect to see next from you? Going forward, I just want shows to go ahead again. I'm finally in a position where I can really let my music speak for itself live, and I just can't wait to get out there and cause some havoc in a sweaty little venue in the middle of the UK. In the meantime, I'm always working on new music and covers to help fill my time. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC
- Natalie Kroh’s Powerful Vocals and Soulful Melodies Create R&B Waves on Latest Single, "Mulholland”
Beginning her writing career while as a student of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Lo Angeles Native Natalie Kroh’s heart beats with a pulse for contemporary R&B. Although she is only 21 years old, her music embodies a sense of maturity and perfection like many other ultra-successful artists like H.E.R, Danielle Caesar, and Brandy. Her new single “Mulholland,” was just released and is sure to connect with listeners on a deep emotional level. Kroh's vocals glide beautifully above the layered instrumentals while keeping strong, moving beat and a powerful voice. Her brutally honest lyrics are matched to create catchy melodies that are changing the R&B genre as she expresses her voice through her unique perspective of life in the City of Angels. “Mulholland” is truly a soulful track with lyrics like “But I like the way you smile, feels like home” which gives listeners more insight into Kroh’s personal experiences and feelings, making her an extremely relatable artist. Although she considers herself to be a quieter individual, her vocals burst up through the engaging instrumentals with motivating energy that ties the entire production together. Natalie Kroh’s ability to remain light, comforting sound while showing a power behind her voice is one of the amazing personal abilities that set her apart as an artist. Your new single is such a catchy and powerful melody, can you walk us through your inspiration for this piece? Hey, thanks for having me! And thank you so much!! Funny enough, when I first wrote this song, I wrote it on the piano and the lyrics/melodies were VERY different. It was about a fight I got in with somebody, and I was just getting in my feels haha. But I took it into the studio with the producer I was working with, and he turned it into more of an R&B beat. I don’t really know how I started writing about LA… I just did. I always loved the lights you could see of the valley from Mulholland, and I feel like LA has this unexplainable magnetic pull to it. And that’s just kinda what naturally came to me to write about! That’s what I was feeling from the beat. How do you feel Berklee College of Music impacted your musical sound and influenced your strong love of R&B? Going to Berklee was a game-changer for me. I would say the biggest thing I got from it was the people I met. Having such a creative environment around me and having all these creative people around me exposed me to a lot of different sounds and ideas, and I eventually realized that the avenue I wanted to go down was contemporary R&B. I’ve always loved R&B since I was a kid, but I didn’t fully realize that was the route I wanted to pursue until I got to Berklee. We are so excited that this song is finally available to the public! What was the process like creating this single during the pandemic and did that cause any extra difficulty? ME TOO. This song…. was a labor of love for many years. I actually wrote it in 2015, put it aside, and started working on it again in 2019. I finished recording it in 2019 but had to figure out the cover photo, graphic design, promo content, and mixing/mastering during the pandemic, and it was really tough. I was always going back and forth between LA and Boston, going back and forth between working on school vs. my own music, having to effectively communicate with the people I was working with online, PLUS having to deal with the pandemic. It was very emotionally and mentally challenging, but I’d been working on it for so long, I wasn’t gonna stop until it was finally released. Being such a new young artist in the industry how are you hoping to continue to grow after the release of “Mulholland?" I’m just trying to get my name out there, honestly. Of course, I want people to connect with my music… the challenge lies in how I’m actually gonna get people to hear it. With that being said, it’s always helpful to have followed on Spotify, as well as have people share my music with their friends and family. What's next for you? I’m writing LOTS of new music, and have plans to release plenty in 2021! So, y’all better stick around if you wanna keep up! Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC

Following their virtuosity in an embellished formula of perfectly timed percussion, discordant guitar riffs, and a thunderous bassline, you have the confidently articulated foundation for the unforgiving voice of frontman, Anton Schindler to rumble deep bellows from within. “Crawl,” was composed at a time when the energetic frontman realized that life’s greatest highs came to him during the performance aspect of his musical career.

It’s always a pleasure when we get to catch up with you, Collision Course, welcome back to BuzzMusic, and congratulations on the release of, “Crawl.” With you being inspired by high-energy performances, what does the lyrical content stem from in the messaging of this track? Funny story actually, Anton wrote the song after taking some hallucinogens and being disappointed it didn't compare to the feeling he got from playing music! Throw in a couple of re-workings of lines and that's how you got those lyrics! Your creative process always seems to wow us here at BuzzMusic. Could you please take us into what the creative and recording process looked like when fashioning together the ultimate ambiance of, “Crawl?" It was really rad actually, we were in the studio for the first time as a group when we recorded the songs, so we genuinely experienced something new and immediately had a blast with it. It was insane how quickly we got dialed into a good workflow and groove, and it helped us realize how well we jive together and how hard we are all willing to work when it's time to throw down. Mixing that with all the crazy gear at the beat lab studio felt like a dream. Now, we hear that there is a music video for, “Crawl,” which is set to be released soon! What was it like putting together the vision for this video? Did it turn out the way that you have envisioned? There is! It debuts on Vevo on March 5th and it was pretty wild! We honestly kind of went into it with the warehouse location in mind but absolutely no further plan. Originally we were considering dressing up in swat gear and dragging Anton around in a straitjacket. Ended up ditching the swat idea and just let Anton to his own devices to wreak havoc in the jacket - there were even a couple of takes where he slammed his head against a door and almost got a concussion! It turned out better than we thought, hoping the take made it into the video! We can't thank everyone enough for working on the shoot with us. All in all, what are you hoping that your listeners take away from your message as a band? Overall, we want our listeners to enjoy and get hyped up by the energy we put into our songs. We aren't exactly making music that is getting the most radio plays, we're making music for the people like us who still enjoy this genre and style can't get enough of it. Our music is everything we've lived, breathed, bled for, and sweat for as a band, and if our audience can feel that, recognize it and use it to make themselves feel good? We've done our due diligence. What has been keeping you inspired to create music? We know it's tiring rhetoric to listen to and talk about at this point, but we can all say that since the pandemic hit, we've taken a lot of time to reflect on what's important to us, who's important, and how to move forward in this sea of uncertainty we're still swimming through. Being able to take the time to carefully plan our every move has proven a challenge, and solving that problem - utilizing our skillsets to do what we need to do - is like a daily grind that we don't want to stop. Wanting to come out of this situation on top, making the best of what we currently have, and putting out content with a smile on our faces knowing we still have so many people supporting what we're doing helps us keep rocking and makes it worth it, you know?

"Corrupt, Pt. 2" is an impeccable offering that serves as a follow up to the previously released, 'Corrupt.' Catch Kidgoten running down the unstoppable paths that he continues to utilize as illumination for those to come after him. Congratulations on the release of your most recent single, “Corrupt, Pt. 2.” We admire the dynamism that floats in this composition as you collaborate with AMI$$A and Chefuno. How did this collaboration come to be? What was it like working with these artists? Thank you! So at first back in 2019 I and AMI$$A were the only ones on the song and I thought to myself I need a little kick to this and the other person I could hear on this was chefuno so I sent it over to her and she gave it back to me within 24 hours and I instantly fell in love with it because the song was all personal to us. Could you please take us into the inspiration behind the meaning of, “Corrupt, Pt.2?" The meaning behind it was a follow-up to the 1st part of corrupt. But this one switches in a different POV for all 3 of us instead of us feeling bad or feeling like we were the one to blame it’s now flipped. From my point personal point of view, I’m officially cutting off all ties with my Bestfriend and calling them out on their mess instead of feeling like the bad guy. What did the creative and recording process look like when bringing this record to life? Since the first part did so well & since the record meant so much to all 3 of us and it did so well...and had so much more to get off our chest why not? But basically, chefuno produced this track herself shouts out to her! And she sent me the beat over I recorded my Chorus and did my 2 verses sent it over to AMI$$A she did her verse/hook and had it back to me within 2 weeks and chefuno did her verse within 3 days. The whole process took about 6 months, however. How do you find that “Corrupt, Pt. 2,” compares to previous bodies of work that you have released? I feel like the rollout for it is just more professional and it shows an authentic personal side of me that’s not usually shown within my music. What's next for you? Well, I’ve officially started my label and the first artist on the roster is chefuno. so just gearing her up for the debut album! I’m personally going to take a break from releasing music this whole year but I will be working on new music as a rebrand this coming summer and hopefully have new music ready by early 2022! I’m also working on movies/shows that I can’t go into detail about be on the lookout for that later this year. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC
- P Double Reveals Soulful Instrumentation in Hip-Hop Single, “Paid”
With already eleven projects and over 300 installments to his name, P Double continues to accelerate towards his goal of becoming a world-class entertainer. P Double’s most recent sonic experience “Paid,” produced by Ctxy, can be enjoyed from any digital streaming platform including Spotify and Apple Music. Now his most streamed track on Spotify, “Paid” will immediately captivate the listener with every seamless and dynamic verse. Having always had a passion for the production aspect of music, P Double showcases his inner creator with his tasteful blend of a diverse array of genres. Making up the ground layer of “Paid,” P Double expresses his subtle hints of Jazz and Soul with a hooking melody played by an alto saxophone. A classic 808 trap beat is layered within the repetitive instrumentation which quickly appeals to any steadfast lover of Hip-Hop. Thanks to his business partner of nine years, his co-founder of Kingsroad Entertainment – Full Effect – P Double had the opportunity to develop his Hip-Hop artistry from a legend himself. The natural rapping talent mixed with years of what P Double called “rap boot camp” is indisputable with the effortless flow of every verse in “Paid.” As P Double cascades in and out of each chorus, the tempo of his vocals influences the energy level of the song. Fans will be taken on a journey of effervescent variation, which will leave their heart rates racing. One of the main aspects of “Paid” that captivated our attention was the alluring combination of a trap beat with an alto saxophone melody. What made you decide to incorporate a saxophone as the main melody of “Paid?” That Sax melody is what drew me in as well. The beat was produced by Cxdy, part of the Internet Money collective - I’ve been rapping over his beats on YouTube for as long as I can remember. I’m very picky when it comes to beat selection, I’m conscious of certain drum patterns, bpm speeds, chord progressions, etc. As an artist, I try to be as diverse as possible so my music never has a stale or recycled feeling. I’m always looking for new pockets and cadences to add to my repertoire. Between that Sax sample and the outside-the-box drum pattern, I immediately caught a head bop and started mumbling top-line melodies. Can you tell us about your songwriting process for “Paid?” What is the message behind your lyrics? The songwriting process for Paid specifically was a lot more fun than most of my recent creations and I think you can tell by listening back. If you know me, you know I’m up super early working on music before I go to my regular day job, so this was one of my 5 am, before the suns up, creations. Being an entrepreneur at heart, the inspiration for this song came to me at a time where a couple of different investments I’ve made over the years started paying off. While I am a rapper and seemingly enjoy taking on the high bravado confident persona, I’m actually very grateful to have been blessed with my present opportunities in this current state of the world. I was just all around excited and wanted to express that to the world on record. Don’t ever give up. Can you tell us about your collaboration with your business partner and co-founder of Kingsroad Entertainment – Full Effect? The infamous FE! Yes, FE has been part of the journey now for I believe 8 years. He’s someone that's not into the limelight what so ever so at times people may not really see him or understand what he brings to the table. At the core, he is a DJ and Engineer but more importantly an overall creative genius. He takes every step of the process with me when it comes to music specifically. His extensive knowledge of music and the art of rap has been one of, if not the most, incremental parts of the growth of P Double. I give him a lot of credit for being so hands-on and believing in this the way he did from such an early part of the process. That is real sweat equity and dedication. Now blood couldn’t make us any closer and we’re business partners on paper, breaking bread together. Life is good. You released your first song in 2009 and have continued to advance as an artist since then! How has your music evolved since you first started? Oh man, From then to now feels like a lifetime ago. My music has evolved a whole lot since then. I definitely would say I live in this constant state of being able to track my progression as a human while utilizing my music to be an outlet for outward expression. I started making music so young that back then it wasn’t about having a perspective on things or really even being conscious of who I was yet. It was strictly for fun and commitment to the vision. I’m not one of these artists that feel they have a gift or are super talented. Where I shine is my work ethic. My music has evolved so much because of my patience to continue to work hard with blind faith in hopes that eventually I’d get good enough to make it. But this is just as much an inward self-discovering journey for me as well. My music is my real life. As I continue to mature and experience the different things that life puts in front of us, good and bad, I’m forever evolving and learning. My music tells that story. What's next for you? We have a whole lot on the Horizon. From music to visuals to merch to hopefully shows again, we’re locked in. This year I’ve been focused more on the business aspect of the game than anything else. I’m very much a businessman in my personal life, I just happened to be able to rap well too so it's the perfect storm. I feel a lot of artists neglect that and unfortunately pay the price for it. As much as this is about the creation and the art itself, if you’re not constantly pivoting your business model, your chances of making it decrease significantly. But more importantly, there is a new album on the way so stay tuned and sit tight, I have a lot to talk to the world about. Instagram Twitter
