Congratulations on the release of, “Voices of a Thousand Words.” The passion you put forth in this performance is extraordinary! What moment or story inspired the concept behind this single? First off, thanks for having me! It’s been almost a year since my last EP release and I have had some time to think about what to write about etc. I have collaborated with a Toronto-based music producer Daniel Jay Sheppard from “That’s A Bar” (his production company). Although I wanted to get more creative with my writing, I felt it was more authentic to write about how I was feeling at the time. My last break-up was something that was still lingering in my mind and writing about it felt natural to me. The style of music was definitely more edgy and fresh from the music that I have released in the past. “Voices Of A Thousand Words” is a reflection of overthinking a situation - some may say it’s an unhealthy approach lol, which ultimately I start hearing voices in my head, telling me what do to, etc. The part in the song where I say, “sometimes I drive right by, your house late at night” was actually a true story. I literally drove by my ex’s house for no reason at all. Don’t judge me. For me, writing songs about how I feel is not only therapeutic but allows my true authentic self to shine through. Let’s face it, people can see right through the bullshit. How long did it take you to create and record “Voices of a Thousand Words”? Were there any memorable moments that you experienced during the creative process? This was actually the first song I have worked on with Daniel. It was surprisingly quick and easy. Originally, I wanted to write this super dirty, heavy hip hop, bumpy track (I was trying to be cool). It was a force of habit to try and write something mainstream and trending. We took a step back after laughing our heads off because it was clear that it was not who I am. Daniel started creating some sounds from scratch and I started singing random notes which eventually became words. Once we got the flow going, the lyrics just came flooding. We recorded my vocals on the spot which was intended to be demos prior to recording the actual song on our next session. However, Daniel felt the vocals were on point and honest so we decided to keep the vocals. I’d say 50% of the song are the original demos! That was one of the coolest highlights of this process. With an extensive performance background, how have you found your artistic style adapt to the events of Covid-19? What has kept you inspired? It’s kinda funny because being forced in confinement during the first wave, I have tapped into things I have never thought I would’ve. I have decided to make ruthless decisions on what I truly want in life and as an artist. I have cut off everyone who is toxic in my life and started writing about what I truly feel. I’ve even started taking online singing workshop classes to brush up on my vocals and also doing some live virtual performances. I even released a Japanese cover song that I have wanted to do for the longest time! Overall, I am just thankful that we have platforms to connect and share my music with the world. Thank God for social media lol. What is the overall message that you send out to your audience as an artist? First and foremost, I want to give thanks to everyone who continues to follow me and supports me. In these trying times, it’s super important to support each other and be thankful that we are all still here. I will continue to make music and hope to meet all of you when all this craziness is over. What can we expect to see next from you? I am currently finishing my latest EP entitled “In My Head” and will be releasing it very soon. You will hear different ranges in my vocals and some very deep lyrics. Every single song was authentically made and a part of my truest self is revealed in this EP. Instagram YouTube Facebook Twitter TikTok #BUZZMUSIC

Born Ulysses Kupaianaha Coppard, in Hawaii, Ulysses has always had a surplus of ideas to draw inspiration from. With obstacles he has endured paying off in a major way, Ulysses has found that they have provided fuel to the fire of his creativity. Ulysses states, “It really took a lot of time and life experience to pull everything together. It felt like there were a lot of obstacles to growing as a person and as an artist.” Since 2015, he’s self-produced four EP’s, a handful of singles, mixed and mastered several full-length records for other artists, all the while keeping an eye on the inner workings of his mind and heart; with a pen ready to capture the magic. Redefining the genre of Electronic music, Ulysses combines elements of a Contemporary Hip-hop wave with a certain Pop flavor that unites the EDM-styled melodies in a draping donation of emotionally gripping connotations. “Count On Me,” displays churning instrumentation that progresses in complexity as the song further expands to its full capacity. Slick grooves immerse your soundwaves in a mesmerizing manner as you become fixated on the undeniable vocalization of Ulysses that coats your ears with his sugary solitude in an offering of lush melodies. Effortlessly cascading with the enticing instrumentation at hand, you find yourself anticipating each twist and turn that continues to keep you on your toes as the music advances in a unified way. The stylistic evolution of “Count On Me,” approaches a realm of weighty synths that meet their airy counterpart as the direction of spatial delivery surges in a charm-filled presentation of captivation. Dominating the eclectic stylings as he claims this kingdom as his own, there is a lot to say about the time and effort that Ulysses applies to each record placed fourth. Prominent with the brilliant transmission released from each glistening moment shared in, “Count On Me,” those are the words that continue to ring bells long after Ulysses’ striking composition comes to a halt. Congratulations on the release of, “Count On Me.” With your sound remaining so unique to the genres out there, how was it that you discovered your distinct sound? Hey, thanks! I didn't really pay attention in school, I feel like that helped. I've always been willing to follow my own interests and shut out the noise. I copy other artists all the time, but from a wide enough range that it's not obvious. Anybody can have a unique style, I believe finding it is all about looking within and trusting your own taste. What moment or story inspired your creation of “Count On Me?" What does this song mean to you? It's sort of a collage of things. On one level, it's examining my experience during a recent relationship. On a deeper level, it's about the loss of my father. After he passed it fell to me to help my family come together and move forward. I realized that I'm someone dependable, someone, you can count on, and that I require that from people in my life as well. Despite the sorrow, I was able to learn and grow from it. Which musical influences do you allow to speak into the songs that you put forth? There are so many! I love alternative electronic music. I can trace my influences from Radiohead, Jon Hopkins, James Blake, SBTRKT, Kanye, Jai Paul, Moderat, Trentmøller, The Acid, Grimes... If we're going to the musical buffet I'm trying nearly everything. To be real I've got to include Bieber, The Weeknd, Tove Lo, Beach House, Keane, Coldplay, Crystal Castles, Daftpunk. Oh God somebody stops me. What is the main message that you send out to your listeners as an artist? When I make music I look into my heart, and I hope I inspire others to do the same. If I can capture my experience as a human and a spirit here on this earth, and bend airwaves so people can get inside that vibe, well, I can't think of anything cooler. Empathy is important to me. What has been keeping you inspired to create music? Life keeps happening! It's tempting to think that everything comes to a standstill when the world changes, but it's important to keep moving, even when your body is in the same place. On another note, there's so much energy rushing around right now. People are scared, angry, confused. As an artist, I have an opportunity to release some of that pressure and I take that seriously.

Pulling us into the shadowy underworld of her sensual vocalization and lush dark outlooks, Aimee Saturne presents us with her most recent single, “Silver Screen Lover.” Connecting the dots between her extraordinary songwriting techniques that dabble into the impeccable use of time and space, the well-rounded talents that have us heading towards Aimee Saturne come naturally to us as we can’t resist the magnetic appeal that she holds. Illustrating vivid imagery in a realm of distorted synths that cater to a boisterous persona, the ethereal jaunts of the sizzling instrumentation fashion stagnant coatings of oozing abstract depth. The detail that has gone into this composition is undeniably intricate at its finest moments. While working towards a full embodiment of edgy characteristics, the manner in which her inimitable timbres act as a centerpiece is remarkable. Aimee Saturne’s personality hurdles through any resonance that stands in her way as she makes it entirely her own unique flavor. Approaching this song with a saturated expedition of proactive tenors, “Silver Screen Lovers,” has Aimee Saturne leaping into a subdivision of musical genres that have us wrapped around her finger. Anticipating the next move from Aimee Saturne’s playbook, we’re going to sip on our favorite red wine while taking in all that is, “Silver Screen Lover,” another time around. Congratulations on the release of your latest single, “Silver Screen Lover.” What does this song directly mean to you as an artist and individual? Thank you! Silver Screen Lover holds a special place in my heart because it originally began as a poem that I wrote at a time when my heart physically ached. A lot of my music stems from my poetry or free writing, but this one was comprised of feelings I’d had bottled up for years. In my artistry, it ended up being one of my favorite tracks, and one of the tracks that felt the most like me. Sonically, lyrically, and eventually visually, it embodies all that I am. What message are you hoping that your listeners take away from this masterpiece? If anyone takes anything away from it, I hope that it’s a chunk of who I am as well as something they can relate to in their own way. I don’t write in a surface way. The lyrics are suggestive, but there’s always a deeper meaning, and the beauty of music is that people get to hear what they feel no matter what I intended the track to be about. For me, this song is part of a story. In fact, it’s kind of the first chapter of my story. It’s what‘s driven me this far. Could you please share what your favorite part of the creative process tends to be for you? That’s tough because I enjoy everything from conceptualizing to recording, but my favorite part is probably writing. Having the a-ha moment of “this needs to be a song!” and immediately picking up a pen and writing down ideas and lines for the song itself is a personal thing to me, almost ritualistic. I can say anything I want to in a song, more so than I can just be speaking. My music is like a journal that everyone gets to know the contents of. Getting to hear the words really come to life in the form of lyrics with an amazing track behind them is pretty fun, too. What musical and non-musical influences do you allow to speak into your music? Love - unrequited or not - lust and obsession are all influences in my music, as well as personal experiences. There are little hints and nods laced between the tracks in their entirety to specific things, people, sounds, and situations. Silver Screen Lover is full of them, not only lyrically but in the music, like the bridge. But it all comes from the heart and from emotions at the moment, it’s never forced. I’m thankful no one ever has to capitulate to an idea. What has been keeping you inspired to create music? Life and love! I’m easily inspired and a huge romantic. I find romanticism in plenty of things, and no matter where I go I breathe music and poetry. My notes and journals are full of poems, ideas, and lyrics. It’s also so stellar to have a great producer who encourages that, as well as tosses in ideas of his own, which keeps the ball rolling. It’s such a harmonious collaborative effort that I couldn’t appreciate it more. Website Instagram Twitter

Growing up in Southwest Florida, Jesse Brady is the definition of being the whole package. With a mind that loves to explore ginormous ideas, she's a multi-faceted artist who happens to be a poet, songwriter, producer, and artist with the depth of Joni Mitchell, the fun quirkiness of Billie Eilish, and a unique production style. From a young age, she would create songs with her mother to prompt her to remember everything from her address to buckling her seatbelt. With a passion for creativity, she learned to find the beauty in mistakes, with an attitude constantly focused on the saying; the show must go on. Commencing the signature single, “TRANSFORMATIONS,” a funk-fueled bassline immediately sends you into a courageous rhythmic jive of anticipation. Jesse Brady’s soothing vocalization comforts you with relatable topics that go deeper than the surface of your identity. You feel an immediate connection to the literate depth that she sprawls through her intricate storytelling techniques. Jesse Brady has a knack for adding humor into the words that she shines a light upon. Expressing herself in a manner that is therapeutic to her very being, she adds laughter in hopes that her audience will pick up on the gentle notes of authenticity. With the chorus of, “TRANSFORMATIONS,” acting as a reminder to herself, Jesse Brady reiterates methods of how to handle the difficult times in life that sprout periods of growth. Jesse Brady is wise beyond her years in the lessons that she conveys through the melodic bout of, “TRANSFORMATIONS.” There is more than meets the eye through the intricate structures she builds from the ground up. She embodies an exclusive flair that is purely inimitable. You come to realize that each winding road this single takes has you venturing through. With Jesse Brady’s unmatched talents, she is a force to be reckoned with as she drizzles her quirky and loveable, upbeat persona throughout her extensive creativity. “TRANSFORMATIONS,” carries such a striking progression through the moments that pass as the song plays. If listeners could take anything away from it, what would you want that to be? I would want my listeners to take away a sense of hope and togetherness, a sense that they’re not alone. I’m happiest when I feel like I’m growing or transforming in some way. Growth can be a gradual process, and today, it can be easy to feel behind when we fall into the comparison trap. However, we are all unique and on different paths. My favorite line in the song is “We don’t work like remote control cars.” To me, this means exactly that. We don’t come with directions and we don’t “go” at the push of a button. We are human, unique, and we are changing every day. Life is not simple or always predictable, but it is a process where we can have some control over our actions and thoughts. Change is inevitable, and in my experience, given time, things have a way of working out when I move forward, learn from mistakes, and have faith. Transformation takes time and during the process, when a lot is out of my control, I try my best to relax and take one step a time, learn something, be present, do something positive or just watch the stars and take a break, step away. Sometimes, the best we can do is just close our eyes and let things fall into place. You have such an interesting story behind the creation of this project. With you tackling the production yourself and then teaming up with Bill McDermott, how was it working with one another to give, “TRANSFORMATIONS,” the sound it has today? The opportunity to work with Bill McDermott has been a blessing. He appreciates my ideas, no matter how quirky, and he understands me as an artist. He was careful to preserve a lot of my original production, while enhancing the sonic quality and adding elements that completed it, such as the awesome electric guitars, that he played. I especially liked recording vocals with Bill, because he notices vocal nuances, and he taught me that a great vocal performance is a collection of moments. Thanks to Bill, the final mix gained clarity, cohesion, and shine. His humility and expertise create an environment, where I feel comfortable enough to be myself and take creative risks. It’s a blast working with Bill. How important is it for you to incorporate a little laughter in the music that you create? I always aim to entertain with my music while also delivering something of substance. I love to make people laugh, and I find so much joy in creating music. Laughing at myself, my imperfections, and my insecurities are liberating for me. Songwriting is therapy. I love approaching it with honest emotion and sharing the experience with an audience where they laugh, cry, and overall, relate. Music connects people and proves that we aren’t alone in the same joys and fears that could isolate us if we kept silent about them. Melody makes me brave enough to speak authentically. No matter what I say, the music helps me feel safe enough to share. With musical influences such as Johnny Cash, to the Cranberries, Bob Dylan to Radiohead, and the list goes on, how do you allow their influence to speak into the music that you create? I appreciate the originality and distinction of these artists and so many others that have an identifying and unique sound. Radiohead’s raw emotion has always inspired me. Fake Plastic Trees is one of my favorite songs. At the end of the day, it’s all about communicating a story. I think Dylan’s stream of consciousness and instinctual lyrics have always resonated with me. His lyrics carry so much weight, so simply, with rhyme and reason. I relate to Dylan’s artistry and appreciate his unique voice. My grandpa introduced me to Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, and I love the simplicity and truth in their storytelling. The Cranberries’ Linger is another favorite song. I love the effortless strength in the vocals and the beautiful melodies; the lyrics are concise and packed with emotion. Appreciating music from different genres and times inspires me to write and produce a distinctive lyric and sound. What could be better than having a listener say, “That’s Jesse Brady…” In short, these artists speak to me because they are truly themselves. They are individually and wonderfully distinct, and this inspires me. What would you like new listeners to know about you and the music that you create? Listeners should know I write with authenticity, honesty, humor, and heart. I hope they find my production interesting and meaningful, and my lyrics to be relatable with a twist. They should also expect to be kept on their toes with a hopeful message and a whole range of emotions. I hope listeners can enjoy my music while they get ready to go to work, or on a long car ride. I hope “Transformations,” is a friend to anyone going through a difficult time... a reminder that it's okay to look up at the sky and watch the stars, and it's okay to not have everything figured out because no one does. After all, we don't work like remote control cars. jessebradymusic.com instagram.com/jessebradymusic

London Thor is a Korean-American singer, songwriter, and actress based out of Los Angeles, California. After independently releasing her first EP at the young age of 15, London Thor continues to create new-fangled music as she collaborates with a variety of musicians. In an intermingling of vibrant energies dipped in subtle tenors, London Thor exudes a euphonious vocal performance as she releases her most recent single, “Place Like This.” The calculated songwriting techniques that London Thor displays as she transports us through a peaked sense of anticipation, has us swaying throughout the elusive structure presented before our very eyes and ears. We’re blown away by the meandering routes that London Thor has us venturing through, as she shares the definitive messaging of this single with us. “Place Like This'' acts as an anthem for the antisocial individuals that roam the universe looking to have the attention taken away from them. It is written as a cautionary tale of how trying to fit in in an unnatural and uncomfortable situation just to seem interesting, actually suffocates what is truly interesting about you. As London Thor weaves us through her verses, the lyrical content jumps out of the speakers in the glowing imaginings that quickly begin to fill a once unmitigated canvas of expectancy. Continuously pushing the envelope of her talents, London Thor can be found delivering her sonic offerings with unrivaled passion and dedication. Be prepared to lose yourself in the thick of, “Place Like This.” Congratulations on your most recent release of, “Place Like This.” We love the manner in which you wrote the subject matter for this song! Was there a specific moment or story that inspired the messaging? There were a few moments that certainly inspired the song. Specifically one house party I attended when I was a teenager, there were a lot of older, more experienced people and I remember feeling very out of place and almost out of my own body. There’s also a lot of inspiration from my time working at a bar in Hollywood. During that time I was very quickly exposed to a different kind of social environment that I wasn’t used to. Do you find that you fit into the scheme of an antisocial individual? Do you find it easier to write about topics that you can personally relate to, or do you have an easier time imagining yourself in the shoes of a person in a particular situation? I definitely think I am a little antisocial. I get very anxious around a lot of people. It’s really split when it comes to writing about personal experiences versus imagining myself in someone else’s shoes. Depending on what the vibe of the song is, I can either easily pull from my own life or I just come up with a story that fits the tone of the song. I think for me some of the best work happens when I can use personal emotional experiences as well as a little something borrowed from someone else’s life or an imagined event. Could you please take us into what the recording process looked like when bringing this song to life? The recording process for “Place Like This” was very fun and surprisingly easy. I worked with producer Billy Lefler and he handed me these wonderfully cool tracks that were so easy to write to. Ironically “Place Like This” was my least favorite track when I first received it, I thought all of my ideas for melody weren’t very good and I almost gave up on it a few times. But once I found a pre-chorus that I liked, the rest followed pretty easily. With your music being used in movies such as, Girl on a Train and Girls Like Magic, is there a different creative approach that you take when looking for a song to find a sync placement? For me, writing specifically for placement is a different process completely. I love trying to create different styles and tones depending on the project. It opens up a whole new world of storytelling. You have to find a way to compliment the project and celebrate that story. What's next for you? I am really excited about the release of my EP “The Cinematic Love EP.” We released it in the middle of February and I am so excited to be able to finally share all the songs in a cohesive story. I’ll be spending some time focusing on that release, then hopefully I can get back in the studio to continue working on a new EP or possibly an album. I’ve been working with Billy Lefler again and we already have a couple of songs in the making at the moment. I’m also hoping to make some more videos for some of our songs on “The Cinematic Love EP.” Spotify Instagram YouTube Facebook

The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and eclectic artist Miss Trezz release her infectious and haunting dark-pop release entitled "Psycho." With creative roots in Chicago and Philadelphia, Miss Trezz formed her sound to be highly expansive and eclectic from being the former vocalist of the nu-metal band Sirens in Vein while also working with producer Oscar Del Amor. Now releasing an exhilarating and relatable love song, Miss Trezz puts her own dark and unique twist with help from Del Amor. Written about falling in love with someone who doesn't have the same capacity to feel love, Miss Trezz genuinely keeps us hooked onto each relatable and gut-wrenching lyric she powerfully portrays within "Psycho." While the production slithers with infatuation and rich electronic elements, Miss Trezz offers a gripping performance through her raw and biting emotion. Listening to "Psycho," Miss Trezz wastes no time and opens the song with a strong pulsating bass-like synth that moans and groans with power. Once Miss Trezz begins pouring her sultry and frustrated lyricism over the track, she locks us into the heavy words she hauntingly sings. While describing a lover who can't seem to express or find emotions, Miss Trezz jumps into the hook and gets us up and moving. This mid-tempo electro-pop tune truly offers us thrills abound, especially around the hook as the savory beat drops and floods our speakers with a hefty low-end and Miss Trezz's soaring vocal stylings. Making her way to the outro, we honestly can't get enough of the mysterious tones and thought-provoking lyricism we experienced throughout this piece. Dive into Miss Trezz's chilling electro-pop single, "Psycho," now available to get down with on all digital streaming platforms. We're genuinely head over heels for your gripping single "Psycho". What inspired the song's powerful and emotional concept? I wanted to explore the experience of falling in love with someone who keeps their walls up and refuses to give--or receive--love. In a way, that rejection of love makes you closer to a cyborg than a human. I've also been into the analogy of love with technology: viruses, programs, connectivity. It all fits, so the correlation worked well with "Psycho." Do you usually create such ample and heavy electronic sonics, similar to the sounds of "Psycho"? What inspired this song's groaning and exhilarating sonic atmosphere? The music I make always has a strong emphasis on deep, electronic beats with undulating synths and haunting vocal melodies. I wanted "Psycho" to make people want to dance and shake their asses. Since we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, this song will work well to get you moving in your living room during a Twitch stream or listening on headphones to catch all of the lyrics and sit with the song's deep groove. Now that you've worked with producer Oscar Del Amor on several occasions, what was it like working together on "Psycho"? How did he help execute your lyrical and sonic visions? It's always an easy flow working with such a talent as Oscar. Usually, I come in with lyrics and a melody. We discuss the tempo, concept, and vibe out on dark rhythms till something clicks. Del Amor connects the music to my emotions and the lyrical content that I am expressing, creating a symphonic mood to immerse our listeners in. We've heard that you plan to experiment with other genres and sounds. Are there any projects you'd like our readers to know about that feature these experimentations? My sound is eclectic and changes when I collaborate with different producers, ranging from dark pop to synth-heavy dance music. Experimenting with different genres and sounds allows me to showcase my vocal range and challenge myself to continually stay curious about songwriting. A goal of mine is to get my music licensed by television and film productions while other songs are intended for a club setting where it can be played LOUD. My experimental projects can be found on my SoundCloud. What can we expect to see next from you? For my next release, I’m putting together an EP with the multi-skilled musician/ producer SVRT of the band Contracult and our sound is more industrial pop. I'm pretty stoked as we are still fine-tuning our sound and who knows we might do some witch house! I believe it’s super important to keep exploring your abilities and evolving as an artist.

Sprinkling his charisma wherever you go, Austin David reinvents a sound that remains timeless. Congratulations on the release of your latest single, “BIG Chill.” Could you please take us into the depths of what the creative process looked like when bringing this song to life? Last summer I was super inspired and writing a bunch of songs. I always wanted a bass/drum groove similar to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". SO I kind of modeled the vibe around that type of feel. I wrote the bass line and put it on loop. The lyrics feel in place pretty much on the spot. I did go back and rewrite some of the verses. As the artist who crafted this masterpiece, what does this song mean to you? First Off, thanks for calling it a masterpiece :) THis song is fun. I love the imagery and feels. Hendrix guitar solo, and funk guitars. I was proud that I could blend a lot of influences into this one (Hendrix, Muse, Michael Jackson, Queen) Lyrically, it's about finding your zone through a little cannabis, and just relaxing in the space with a smile. Just Chillin. What are you hoping that your listeners take away from this song in terms of themes and messages emitted? I like to keep it open to interpretation. But overall I hope they feel uplifted, and inspired! How does “BIG Chill” hold up to other songs in your music catalog? This is different. IT breaks away from the California dance-pop, and into alt-rock a little. I like to dabble around. But I think all my songs have a vibe that shares the same nucleus. What has been keeping you inspired to create music? I just always yearn to write/record awesome poppy songs. I have a lot to say and am always looking for new and exciting ways to express myself in music. I am always listening to music and records. I listen to an eclectic mix of music and drawing inspiration from one musical place or another. Maybe just a little guitar hook or drum fill of some indie artist on Spotify could inspire a song for me. Instagram Facebook Twitter

I feel, as a songwriter, one of the hardest things to do is to say how you feel. In my songs, I'm not saying something that's never been said before. It's the emotion that is coming from inside. It always hits me unexpectedly in a car or right before I go to bed. There are no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies and captured emotions. What was it like working with Kolpaque to achieve the desired sound in, “Solo”? Ivan (Kolpaque) is a genuine talent pure and simple. In fact, he is one of the best I have had the privilege to work with. He's so musically gifted and his intuition and sense of music are very familiar with mine. So I’d call it musical synergy, that sound, and feeling came out from deep inside of both of us. Check out Ivan Kolpaque @kolpaquee on Instagram. Being inspired by Michael Jackson, Prince, James Brown, and Elvis Presley, how do you allow their influence to speak into the music that you create? Inspiration is like a memory sponge, you keep absorbing every fragment or feeling or moment or story or sound. That subconsciously influences you and moves you. With any type of creation, you create what's inside of you, and everything you observe, experience, and feel during your lifetime will always be your co-creator. Answering your question I would say: in my music you will hear a galaxy called "lifetime". As an artist, what is your main message that you put forth in the music that you create? It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good. What can we expect to see next from you? I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist. You have to keep filling your mind with other music and knowledge and continue feeding that little "scientist" that lives within and to always think and be ahead of the curve.

Congratulations on the release of, “Lost Control.” Could you please take us into what this song means to you? Thank you for all of your support with my newest single! Writing and recording Lost Control was extremely therapeutic for me. Throughout the writing process, I began to recognize my priorities were not always in the right places and for me, this song reminds me to continue working on my self-awareness. When you start to go through the motions & get distracted from your goals it begins to take a toll on you. I think most people can relate to this feeling & can associate it with a time in their lives. This season in my life forced me to take a step back and evaluate what I really wanted! What went into the creative and recording process to give, “Lost Control,” the sound we know and love? The evolution of this song is pretty incredible. Lost Control was written by myself and Jimmy Meier (co-writer/producer) a few days before ringing in 2020. We had the melody & lyrics all down except for the bridge. We knew the bridge needed to bring out the feelings of someone losing control & physically wanting to move with the music. It wasn't until the Summer of 2020 that we found the missing piece! Jack Garno came into the studio, and after first speaking with us about the message and emotion behind the song, he went on to record an incredible guitar solo fitting perfectly into the mix! You really take your performance in the “Lost Control,” music video to another level! Could you please tell us about the creative direction that went into it? That was such a fun video to shoot! Would you believe me if I said we created, recorded, and edited that video in 4 days!? It's true - I have to give a lot of credit to my brother, Brian, for this one!! Incorporating graffiti art into the video was actually inspired by a street artist that my brother & I had met a few weeks prior to shooting the video. Must say my favorite part of the film was smashing the guitar into the Lost Control sign at the end - it landed perfectly, getting stuck in the plastic wrap! What do your non-musical influences look like when it comes to gaining inspiration to create? My passion for songwriting and performing has always been there (whether I showed people or not). It's crazy looking back, but I actually didn't start to pursue music until college. Gaining the confidence to share my music took some time & I definitely gained inspiration from my grandmother - or as my family & TikTok call her - Nanny Kearns! She would tell stories from when she had just moved to New York from Ireland and how she wished she could have afforded instruments or singing lessons. She always had an ear for music & would tell me how lucky I am that there are so many more opportunities & resources (like YouTube) to learn & grow musically. She inspires me every day to pursue my dreams and to continue working hard for them - she is truly one of a kind. What can we expect to see next? Debut EP coming this Summer!! For this EP I'll be taking it back to my roots and focusing on the soulful music that made me fall in love with music in the first place. Super excited for the months ahead & for everyone to hear!
