Whether he drizzles his audience in a harmonizing track or bawdy wordplay record, Martize gets the job done. Raised in the Chicago Westside area, Martize always had an ear and love for music, which sprouted his ability to tell stories like no other. In a short span of time, Martize is fresh off the release of his 18 track concept album, “Jokes on You,” a story that takes you through the ropes that Martize endures as we dive into the depths of agony, vulnerability, and ingenious artistry. Recruiting artists such as Kae Goo, NDPNDNT, and Gotti, Martize utilizes this opportunity to extensively sweep you through an abundance of elements in the domain of cognizant truth-telling, and penetrating liveliness that infiltrates your mindset. We’re visible to an assortment of stylings and weaving paths that Martize ventures through as he rides out the modern wave of Hip-hop. Commencing the album with the introductory single and title track, “jokes on you,” you’re instantaneously offered up to a tempo that lures you into the melodies in an enticing manner that raises the stakes in anticipation. Alluring to the point of having us fully entranced in which direction he will approach the album in, we’re fully invested in the sweet soundscapes that dip into tranquil depths of creativity. There is something to say about the diversity heard on the instrumentations that continue to reign supreme in the collection of songs brought forth in, “Jokes on You.” Gracefully fluent with the slick manner of stirring tenors, this album is a prime example of how a kingdom of versatility flourishes into the musical canvases that are embraced. With tracks such as, “LOYALTY,” “Flesh N Blood x Targets,” and “UP,” enlivening the dynamism to a high voltage immersive experience of lyrical dexterity that flexes upon hard-hitting bars, we grasp the quintessence that is Martize. Drowning in a swarm of influences that hang in the artistic hues he provides, Martize embodies components from Tory Lanez, Big Sean, and Joyner Lucas. Not only dripping in witty quips, but there is also fundamental honesty that lures you into the emotional profoundness that Martize feels day in and day out. Redefining the connotation of Contemporary R&B elements that fuse this genre together with the vigorous conveyance of Hip-hop vitality, “To Be Selfish,” “No Forcing,” and “Broken Promises,” allow us to simmer in the heavenly vocal range that Martize effortlessly flaunts throughout these intrapersonal offerings.

With the outro, “See You (Little Angel),” tying up any loose ends that may have been floating in the midst, Martize uses this opportunity to shed the ultimate vulnerable serving of himself to his fan base. The entire album takes the best traits of Martize as an artist and individual to further complexity in the messaging that he so graciously lets up. We suggest that you take an hour of your time to delve into the various emotions that Martize emits on this 18 track album. Substance is hard to come by, and Martize has most definitely got it. Congratulations on the release of your album, “Jokes on You.” With such a wide variety of songs that cater to various moods and tones, what can you tell us about the intricate selection of songs that you picked for this project? These are songs that expressed a very difficult time in my life and I resulted in music that would represent that vibe. These songs are all ranges of natural emotions just from the standpoint of sound. What was it like collaborating with the featured artists that we hear on this project? Could you please tell us how the collaborations came to be, and why you decided on the names that you did? It was actually a very natural thing between me and the artist I reached out to be apart of this album. These collaborations came from me wanting to expand my sound and branch out to other artists that I enjoy listening to. “TLC” was actually NDPNDNT’s song I featured on but I asked him can I have it for my album because it was a perfect fit. I asked Kae Goodie to bless me with soothing vocals that fit the aura of the lyrics and she did just that. Now, the “Alissa Cruz interlude" came about by me listening to her covers on Instagram and YouTube. I had to reach out to ask her to be apart of this album because I enjoyed it a lot. Gotti laid down his verse on “out my way” very quickly and I knew he would because that song is in his pocket and style.. he did it justice like I knew he would. “Better strangers” was a song that I wanted to show my take on full-fledged R&B.. so I asked Tori can she lay down background vocals on the bridge to give it more dynamics than CareFree Key blessed the end with an amazing guitar solo. Do you have a particular song on, “Jokes on You,” that resonates with you more than the others? If so, what’s your reasoning? I can’t handpick one song because all of these songs resonate with a part of my life. My favorite song on this project switches daily and I like that because it shows the truth in all of the records. Sonically, every song on this project has its own moment. How long did it take you to create and record this entire body of work? Are there any memorable stories from the process? This is album took about ten days to make; however, I took two and half months to polish up everything making sure the vocals and production are correct. This was a different recording process from any of my other projects because I was in the studio with the engineer. These were some of the best sessions I ever had from the creations to the vibes.. it was very dope. What is the best piece of advice that you have been given through your artistic career? “Careers take off just gotta be patient” that’s some of the best advice for any artist because it’s not about where you start it’s all about where you finish. The goal is always to work and keep working no matter what is thrown your way just keep prospering. Instagram

Fresh off her debut album, 'Songs for My Next Ex,' nomadic singer and songwriter Charlotte Morris taps into her uniquely fused genre that has listeners swaying into various genres. Baring her soul for listeners to peak into the quintessence that Charlotte Morris delivers, this album acts as a follow up to her 2018 release of 'New York, With Love.' Recorded and produced during the thick of 2020's quarantine, this is deemed Charlotte Morris' most intimate project to date. Written about her most recent relationship, when listened from front to back, a story will fall into place. Charlotte Morris delves into an intrapersonal place of inner sentiments to curate the eight songs that this album consists of on delicate themes of joy, love, sorrow, and growth. Using this musical offering as a transformative collision between the person she is as a woman and artist, Charlotte Morris went on to say, "I am so excited to finally get other ears on it and watch the story unfold for the first time for new listeners. It's terrifying to put this much of my heart and soul out into the world, but I feel like so many people experience this kind of an emotional rollercoaster. Even if one person can relate and hopefully find strength as I did from these songs, it will be worth it." From a deeply Country influenced song such as the introductory single, "Crazy," to the emotionally gripping ballad of Pop-flavored, "Without Him," Charlotte Morris has a little something for everyone on this project. Emphasizing her artistic versatility, be prepared to tour her musical mindset as we hear a showcase of the fusing Folk, Pop, Rock, and Country genres. The melodic pieces we dive into are mainly autobiographical. Through years of her theatre experience, Charlotte Morris reflects on pairing with nuances and lyrical storytelling parallel to musical theatre writing. Sending us on a rollercoaster ride of inner sentiments, be prepared to be taken through the highs and lows during 'Songs for My Next Ex.' Congratulations on your debut album, 'Songs for My Next Ex.' Diving into such a personal topic for yourself, how did you come up with the concept of this eight-track project? Thank you so much! It has been an awesome journey, creating and sharing these songs, and I'm so excited that people have loved them so much. A few years ago, I came up with the album title, 'Songs for My Next Ex' - I don't remember what prompted it, probably the fact that I write so many songs about the relationships I'm in and so far, all of those people have turned into exes haha. But I liked the rhyming of it and thought it was funny. So I had it tucked away in a note on my phone. When this last relationship ended, I had all of these songs that I wrote about the guy, my emotions, the journey of going through this extremely tumultuous situation. And given that I had written them over the course of the relationship, they told a story. So I thought, why not put them in order, write one last song to cap the journey ("Not Every Love Story"), and throw them all together in an album. The title "Songs for My Next Ex" had just been sitting on my phone, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to use it. Given how messed up the relationship was, and therefore, how sad some of the songs are, I also think that the title along with the album art brings a bit of much-needed levity to the project as a whole. Partly, I created the album because I had all of these great songs that I wanted to share with the world. And partly, it was my way of working through everything that had happened and then letting it go. It was a very emotional creative process for me, having to basically relive traumatic parts of the relationship as I recorded and re-recorded. But it was cathartic. It was a lot like my therapy sessions and allowed me to really process everything, and then fully move past it. The album is 8 tracks, but I do have other songs that I wrote during and about the relationship. I decided to go with these 8 because it felt like I was able to tell the story of the relationship, while equally giving time to the good and bad parts. I expressly wanted the first half to go through the positives, and the second half to show the 180 that the relationship took. But of course, there were goods and bads throughout the whole thing. And even now, while the relationship is far away in my rearview mirror, the story as a whole isn't over as the relationship plays a part in who I am as a whole. So I have some new songs that could fit into the puzzle - perhaps I'll release those on a sequel album. Out of the eight songs offered up, do you have a particular one that resonates with you more than the others? Truthfully, I love them all for different reasons. Each song represents a totally different moment in my emotional journey, where I was able to be vulnerable, experience something new, learn something, grow.. they're all so incredibly personal and close to my heart, so it's hard to pick one that resonates more than others. However, I would say that my favorite one to listen to is "Flowers." It's ironic, because when I first wrote 'Flowers', I actively thought that it was bad. It just didn't sit right in my ear. I wrote 'Flowers' in September 2019, and once I finished it, I really didn't touch it again until the relationship ended in May 2020, when I was going back through the songs that I had written. When I came back to the song, I was a totally different person. I had gone through a myriad of ups and downs with the person that the song was written about, and so it landed differently. Once we recorded it and found the arrangement, the harmonies, the build.. it just grew into something totally whimsical and idyllic in my mind. And now, it's my favorite one to listen to! How have you found yourself growing as an artist and individual from the release of, 'New York, With Love,' to 'Songs for My Next Ex?' Absolutely. I think that the difference between 'To New York, with love' and 'Songs for My Next Ex' is night and day. I actually worked with almost the same team for both, and it's been really exciting to compare and see how we have ALL grown. About 3 years separate the earliest written song on 'To New York, with love' and the last song written for 'Songs for My Next Ex', and I think that over that time, I have grown immensely as a writer. When I wrote and created 'To New York, with love', I was fresh out of college, I had just moved to New York. The whole album was about me taking my first steps in the real world, and that was also what it was for the music industry. It was my first real foray into the industry and allowed me to learn so much about how I wanted to create music, the songs I wanted to offer to the world. Since then, I think that I've figured out, a least a bit more, who I am as a person, as a woman, and as an artist. I have found more confidence and strength in my voice and style. And overall, I know more, I have experienced more, so I can create more emotionally complex songs and offer a bigger and more vulnerable look into my heart via my music. With this project being created during quarantine, could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process looked like when bringing this masterpiece to life? This was truly a creative process like no other. Creating an album during a pandemic, and from quarantine, is wild. The earliest song on the album was written during the summer of 2019, and I almost always write alone, so that part of the process looked the same, even for the songs written once in lockdown. However, the recording process was totally different. With my past EPs and singles, it's really exciting to count down the days until we all get to be in the studio together. The band, my producer, and I then spend hours in tiny rooms together, figuring out the songs as we go, playing around, hanging out. And then the studio closes, we're done. Whatever we have recorded is what we have. Recording 'Songs for My Next Ex' was a whole different beast. My band and I were all in our own homes, in totally different cities, some separated by half the country. My producer, Conor Keelan, and I put down a basic track for the band to follow, and then they individually recorded their parts from their home studio setups. Once we had all of that, I went in and did vocals, and then Conor and I worked together to build out the rest of the album. It was definitely strange not to be together, and not to have that recording experience. However, it did allow us a lot more freedom and flexibility to re-record, in some cases totally rework a song.. and the only schedule we were required to stick to was the one I had built in my head. It was also a whole lot cheaper haha There's a lot to be said for being in a room together, and having that full collaborative experience. However, I have really enjoyed creating music from the comfort of my own home. And we've already started similarly working on some new songs. What would you like new listeners to know about you and the music that you create? It probably became pretty obvious based on some of my other answers, haha but all of my music is so personal. It comes straight from my heart, and it's basically an open window into my soul. Before I found songwriting, I struggled to fully express and process my emotions. Writing in a journal didn't work for me, talking to others only did half of the job.. but once I found songwriting, I realized how much more I could say through music. I feel like a lot of people struggle to fully express themselves, but listening to music is their escape. I hope that my songs can affect others, and help them find the emotional vulnerability that I am still working to find myself. So if I can write a song that resonates with even one other person, and can pinpoint all that they've been wanting to say but couldn't find the words. Well then, my job is done!

What do you get when you put four guys from different parts of the country together with their own triumphs, failures, and ambition to play music? In this case, you get the killer blue-collar rock bank called Love and a .38. Love and a .38 is the perfect example of a successful D.I.Y band. Even though they are unsigned and unrepresented they have been able to amass a worldwide following on their own terms as an independent band. Their latest release, "Hail to the Night," will instantly hook you from the moment the electric guitar begins to ring out. This track gives you no choice but to groove along, and we are certain you won't be able to listen to it just once. Thriving off the inspiration of creating new music has been keeping the band going in a time where they are struggling to still not be able to play music live. In a recent interview with BuzzMusic, they discussed the benefits of the pandemic shutdown as it has now given them more time and they are able to connect with not only their music but also their instruments on a much deeper level. They are now able to shift their focus from writing new material and practicing for upcoming shows to now play music for the love of it. The hope of knowing that one day we will all be able to be together again in a live concert setting has been a driving force to keep them going. We look forward to more of what's to come from Love and a .38. Instagram Facebook

Maine singer-songwriter Dan Searl captures our hearts and gives us all a little more, "Hope," with his most recent single. Maybe it's because of the warm guitar riffs or the catchy chorus melodies, or perhaps his tender vocal performance. Either way, there is no doubt that we are absolutely in love with his heartfelt inspirational track. This Acoustic-Pop soundscape that Dan Searl has created has quickly become the soundtrack of his listeners' lives that was much needed. Searl explains that "Hope is about a feeling of positive connection or purpose." He continues to say that "hope is like medicine for life" in his personal life, he is learning to rely on meditation and prayer, and the release of this track was the manifestation of those two actions. Currently, Searl is hard at work on more experimentation in the areas of his chord progressions, sound design, and pop stylistic songwriting techniques. He also hopes for more collaborations in the releases to come as well as more drama-oriented video content paired with his tracks. It's no question that Searl is a fantastic musician, but he is also an ambitious leader within the music industry. In 2019 Searl took a break from releasing music to focus on building his label and producing other artists in the Boston area. His goal was to give back and help new artists as he could empathize with the struggles they were facing. We are thrilled for Searl's success in the early part of 2021 and can't wait to see what's next for him. You can learn more about him here. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC

Maro DēLo is a Pop-rock/Crossover musician. He began playing guitar when he was 6 years old, picking up bass and drums as he continued to further immerse himself in learning and understanding music. His long-time interest in blues, rock, and pop music fueled his white-hot passion for songwriting and composing, giving fans a sense of the honesty and compassion he expresses in his storytelling lyrics. The entrancing dissonance that loiters in the depths of Maro DēLo’s latest single, “Breathe You,” places a spotlight on his lush vocals crooning as they display the intimate lyrics that cast vivid illustrations in your mindset. With the easy-going tones that simmer in a comforting state of tranquility, the exploration of rhythmic tendencies surges through your speakers as the themes conveyed touch on the lyrical motifs that describe the love Maro DēLo has for the apple of his eye as he breathes them in. Deceivingly mellow, you’re also radiated in the convolution that pours in through the ambient progression of this soul-infused arrangement. Bruiting melodies glisten as Maro DēLo delves into a deeper state of profound illumination as he embraces his feelings in a charismatic manner. We feel the raw passion that is ignited from the fire within ourselves. The artistic versatility that Maro DēLo exudes is unmatched in this timeless masterpiece that is, “Breathe You.” Feeling the burning desire to gravitate towards everything that Maro DēLo embodies, we capture another round of intricate offerings in the complexity of the music conveyed. If you’re looking to be swept into a pool of your intrapersonal offerings, we suggest placing, “Breathe You,” on replay as we do the same. Congratulations on the release of, “Breathe You.” What moment inspired the creation of this single that we have the pleasure of listening to? It’s interesting you ask that because there was preceded drama in my own romantic life that I was dealing with. It just so happened to be that the producer I was working with at the time had been dealing with the drama of his own, and that was the moment... Although we had a tinge of darkness looming over our heads, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise to write a breakup song with someone who was also going through a breakup. It felt as if we weren’t going through breakup-grief at the same time, we would not have captured as much emotion within writing “Breathe You.” Do you happen to have a favorite lyric from “Breathe You,” that resonates with you more than the others written? If so, which is it? I remember sitting with the co-writer, Gary Miller, deep into a songwriting session. He blurts out, “...bruised and broken, wounds wide open...” The look on his face said ‘take it from here.’ So I come back with, “...remember what we had?” Our lightbulbs went off simultaneously. We were so immersed in the art that we were finishing each other’s sentences; things like that are what makes the process so special. What musical and non-musical influences do you take into the melodies that you create? When it comes to my inspiration for melodies, not only just in “Breathe You,” but in every song I write, it stems from listening to voices I feel comfortable singing along with as well as what part of my abilities I’m determined to strengthen at the time. For example, in more recent years (especially since Covid) I made it a priority to expand my vocal range, high and low. That’s when my music preference shifted toward powerhouse singers and songwriters like Chris Cornell, Neil Finn, Bruno Mars, Jason Derulo, the list goes on. The same goes for songwriting! Connecting with John Mayer’s lyrical messages as a teenager really inspired me to pursue a writing style that made sense to me just like how his style makes sense to him. What are you hoping that listeners take away from the themes and messages in, “Breathe You?" When listening to “Breathe You,” I hope the listener can walk away with enjoying a story that people can apply to their own post-breakup grief to. When writing the line, “When I close my eyes, baby all I see is who you couldn’t be” I intended a sense of redemption through the truthful statement of what it takes to move on from that chapter in your life. What's next for you? I am currently still promoting the release of Breathe You (dropped Feb 14th, 2021), with merchandise contests on my social media pages and collaborating with social media influencers. Collectively, the song has reached over 200,000 listens across Instagram and TikTok. I am also attending and performing (virtually) at the Millennium Music Conference 25 on Feb. 26 and 27. SUPER excited about that! Here’s a link to their YouTube Channel for where the performances will be live-streamed on Feb. 27 here. This year, I plan to release four more singles that each have their own vibe and story going for them. On top of that, I’m participating in a pilot series called ‘Next Top Hit’ as a featured artist this coming March. More details here: williamsville.us/next-top-hit/ Instagram Facebook

Welcome to BuzzMusic, Aries, we admire the unique flair that you’ve placed into, “Chocolate Factory.” Could you please take us into what the creative process looked like when fashioning this piece of work? Thank you for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it. To understand what the creative process looked like when fashioning in this piece of work, you have to understand the origins of the song. "Chocolate Factory" is about hopeless romantic finding love. The story behind this song is a representation of my personal experience with finding love. Allow me to paint the perfect picture for you to understand the true source of the creative process. In my past relationships, I found myself looking for the perfect individual, someone who stands out above the rest and has very few flaws or coincidently the same number of flaws. In this search, I realized the perfect individual was just a figment of my imagination. it doesn't exist. Everyone you meet has some type of baggage they carry whether it’s from their last relationship that went south or a situation in life that’s affecting them which ultimately has a domino effect that makes its way into the relationship. At the end of the day, you realize the true goal is to be able to grow and accept a person's flaws and to grow together to help each other overcome those flaws or just live with those flaws. It took a long time for me to realize this, which is why my past relationships did not work out so well. Hence the hopeless romantic searching for love. You wear many hats in the arts and in the business side of the industry. Do you have a talent that you lean more towards, or do they all carry equal weight in your life? I most definitely lean more towards my talent for creating music. I would love to say that they carry equal weight in my life but that wouldn’t be true. In college I had an Asian friend named Luke who told me this, "a man who chases two rabbits catches neither." I understood that proverb on so many levels. Mastering each craft, I knew I’d have to dedicate all my time to do only one at a time to truly master it. I have many gifts, but music is the main highlight. What sets me apart from others is my ability to tap into the skills required to be a Rapper, Singer, Songwriter, Record Producer, Actor, Film Director, DJ, MC, Dancer, Entrepreneur, and Fashion designer. Each one of these titles required time, dedication, and many life lessons that played a huge role in who I am today. I got to where I am today with consistency and determination. What comes easy won't last long, and what lasts long, won't come easy. I knew it was going to take time to get where I am right now, so I put all my trust into consistency and determination in creating music. Do you have a personal favorite lyric? My personal favorite lyrics from the track would be the end of the hook. "In my mind, I’m doing fine, Living in a world of full imagination, I don’t care bout anything, long as I’m with you." I like how those lyrics give a sense of the perfect world and in this perfect world the only thing that matters is your other half. What musical and non-musical influences do you allow to speak into the music that you create? I’ve had the opportunity to witness many amazing artists in my life but there's a handful of artists I can truly call my influencers, Such as Mos Def, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Common, Jay-Z, and Drake. Each has consistency, longevity, and amazing content in the industry. Each one of these artists has played a part in the way I view music and have inspired me in one way or another. What are you hoping that your listeners take away from this emotion-filled release? Everyone you meet has some type of baggage they carry whether it’s from their last relationship that went south or a situation in life that’s affecting them which ultimately has a domino effect that makes its way into the relationship. At the end of the day, you realize the true goal is to be able to grow and accept a person's flaws and to grow together to help each other overcome those flaws. It took a long time for me to realize this which is why my past relationships did not work out so well, hence the hopeless romantic searching for the love. Instagram Facebook

I’m very grateful to have the ability to release music and people hear it. I don’t take it for granted and I’m excited to break the ice as an artist! How did the creative process vary for “She Want Me Bad,” versus your other musical creations available? "She Want Me Bad," is one of my simpler tracks. There isn’t much deep meaning and it was simply made to put a smile on your face and encourage you to move. You mentioned that you take influences from numerous genres into the music that you create. Which artists tend to inspire you the most? Right now, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Anders are some huge inspirations for me. The first two being legends in my opinion and the third being a pioneer for a better sound. You almost went with 808’s instead of sub-bass on this particular record. Can we expect to hear 808’s on your next track? What do listeners have in store? I’m surprised you knew that about this song haha! I am definitely a big fan of 808’s, so yes you will definitely be hearing many booming 808’s in my future tracks. I also have a lot of ballads and EDM tracks as well. I plan on being very diverse. What's next for you? One thing I have worked on in life is to work on not having many expectations. I’m not sure what’s next for me in life, but I’m confident it’s going to be amazing. I am very content and pleased with today and I look forward to each day to come. instagram.com/jordanrys

Welcome to BuzzMusic, Lina Cooper, and congratulations on the release of, “Ethereal.” As the artist behind this striking piece, what does this song mean to you? First of all, thank you very much! I am very proud of this song, I have been working on it, leaving it and coming back to it for about two years now. First of all, this song is a little supercut of moments and memories of one of my most memorable relationships. I wanted to create a song that would evoke this feeling of affection or increase it if you're already in love. It's a mixture of the highs and the lows, the undeniable love and fear of losing someone, the vulnerability, the passion, everything. And secondly, this song is my tribute to Taylor Swift. As some may know, she is one of my biggest influences, and this song was hugely inspired by her and especially her record "reputation". How do you find that “Ethereal,” compares to previous bodies of work that you have released? No matter what the song sounds like, what the lyrics are, and what it is about... It is always going to be my story. I always write about my life and my experiences. My life is an open book and my songs are like my diary. That is why I decided to put the voice memo in the song as well, I wanted you to hear what I heard. That is why I decided to very thoroughly describe him as well, I wanted you to see what I saw. The rest is up to your imagination :) But what I did differently this time was... Make a happy song. Usually, it is way easier to write about sad and heartbreaking moments of your life, but it does take more for me to write a song that can take you to a happy place. But the inspiration struck so suddenly and I just wrote it in 30 minutes. With every artist varying in style, at what point do you know a song is completed? To be completely honest, with me I do not think that the song is ever 100% completed. I am a perfectionist and so are my producers and engineers. So sometimes songs can get stuck in the production process, and so did this one. It took 2 years, a completely lost production session, vocal rerecordings, at least 4 full rearrangements, and 5 producers (including me) and 3 engineers to finish this song. At some point, you just have to trust your gut and let it go. You have to trust the people that you work with and believe in your art. Then you What are you hoping that your listeners take away from, “Ethereal?" I just want people to fall in love or feel like they are falling in love. I want people to roll down their car windows, drive down the highway, and scream. I want people to dance in their bedrooms daydreaming about their crushes. I want people to send this song to their boyfriends and girlfriends and say "this made me think of you". I want people to feel SOMETHING. It makes me incredibly happy when I see people sing along to this song and smile. This song made me happy, when I wrote it and when I was making it. It makes me happy when I listen to it. It takes me back to the happy moments of my life. What's next for you? Well, first of all, I just dropped a lyric video on my Instagram! Then there is a music video coming out on February 28th, which I am so so so excited for you to see. It is very yellow (as always), very romantic, you can call it "a guide on how to date Lina Cooper". And of course, so much more music. I have a whole year of new music prepared for you. I have ballads, I have more commercial pop, I have more alternative and indie pop and I can not WAIT to share it with you. And do not even get me started with the music videos and all the incredible visuals that I collaborated on with other artists. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC

The Los Angeles-based artist and singer-songwriter Jeanine Del Carlo returns to touch on her many intriguing highlights of 2020. Having her music added to several Spotify playlists, Jeanine Del Carlo kept her audience engaged and entertained throughout 2020 with help from her self-created dance videos and live stream performances. After performing live at The Dublin in Portland at the beginning of 2020, Jeanine Del Carlo later reached an 8th place spot in the Ms. Health & Fitness HERS Magazine Cover competition. Also releasing three singles in 2020, Jeanine Del Carlo began the year with the feel-good song, "Can I Take Your Pain Away?" surrounding the warm feelings of requited love and easing someone's pain through tenderness. Following up this single with her hit, "SHAKIN'," Jeanine Del Carlo wrote this piece in ten minutes, fueling the song with emotion surrounding life's transformation after losing her father to cancer. Ending off 2020 with her last single of the year, "Love U," Jeanine Del Carlo took us through another heartfelt story of loving someone as a whole while describing the song with a quote from Marianna Williamson, "Until we have seen someone's darkness, we don't really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone's darkness, we don't really know what love is." Also releasing two merch lines in 2020, Jeanine Del Carlo created the We Are The World t-shirt while donating all proceeds to those financially affected by Covid-19. Not to mention her whimsical Caticorn merch (cat/unicorn), Jeanine Del Carlo is ready to take 2021 by the horns with each unique endeavor and soulful release. We're delighted to speak with you surrounding your many endeavors throughout 2020. Which achievement of 2020 are you most proud of? The achievement I’m most proud of in 2020 is writing a new piano album which is unlike any album I’ve created in the past. I didn’t know I had a new album in the works until I looked at all the songs and went, “I’ve got a new album here that I love so much.” It became a healing process for me to write down my feelings, thoughts, play my Dad’s piano, and connect with the instrument that he loved so much. I feel like I’m with him when I play and sing on the piano. The songs I wrote all came from my heart and the lyrics came out so fast as if I couldn’t write fast enough. With your three released singles in 2020, do you have a personal favorite? Out of the three songs I released all of them are my favorite, lol. I love all of the songs equally because I recorded them all around the same time in the studio. The time in the studio singing and putting the final touches on them felt magical. I love being in the recording studio. The studio gives love to the song-making process. What inspired you to donate all proceeds from one of your merch lines to families affected by Covid-19? I’ve lost so much of my family to disease that it only felt right with the image I had created of my family on the T-Shirt that says “We Are The World”, “Be The Change”, and “Peace, Love, & Music” that those are messages that I would hope give hope to people when they feel sad. Did you experience any personal or musical growth throughout the unusual year of 2020? I feel like I became connected to myself and nature. In my younger years, I didn’t stop moving all the time, it’s like I couldn’t sit still and breathe in the moments that went by so fast. I found stillness this last year in learning to love and forgive myself. I let myself dance freely, write music freely, and create art on the piano as I mentioned before without my inner critic telling me blah, blah, blah. I used to have so much noise in my head and I feel this year I got to learn how to love all of me. If you could take one thing away from 2020, what would it be? If I could take away one thing from 2020 it would be that being outdoors with nature is the best medicine for anything. I believe we are made of the earth's elements and when we are in nature our souls connect with all that is around us, we feel loved. How do you plan on keeping your audience engaged as you continue your career throughout 2021? I plan on putting new singles, music videos, interviews, my “Love U” album with some new songs, and performing through streaming apps until I can perform live face to face. Are you currently working on any projects or releases to drop in 2021? I just released my first single of 2021 “You” on February 18th. It’s an R&B beat with a soul vibe. I wrote this song about humanity, how we are all made of the earth, and how love keeps us going in life. It’s about no one in particular but collectively as a society that sometimes we can lose sight of what’s important in life due to greed and not being satisfied when we’ve got everything. The people in your life that love you and you love are priceless. My second single “Faith” I wrote with a music producer who goes by the name on Twitter of @DjDownLowDavis will be out on March 4th, 2021. I love this song so much, the beat has an upbeat vibe and the lyrics will give you hope and strength in your own life. My goal is to give you one song a month for the rest of the year and some new music videos too. I love sharing my art with the world and am so thankful to be able to have the platforms to give my music a voice. Website Instagram Twitter Facebook Spotify Apple Music
