With an overarching theme of gloom, the aptly titled EP “20 10 20,” is dedicated to victims of the Lekki toll gate massacre. “My new EP is dedicated to all those that lost their lives at the Lekki Toll Gate massacre,” Wisdom declared in a tweet last month. Growing up in Nigeria, Wisdom was exposed to a wide variety of music. Like several other musicians, Wisdom honed his soulful voice amongst other musical talents by performing with his church choir. Graduating with a degree in Petroleum Chemistry and Engineering from the America University of Nigeria in 2011, he decided to give music a real swing in 2016, working with Nigerian artists Maire, King Mufasa, and Dammy Krane. In 2019, outdoored his debut album dubbed "Not Just A Man", which housed well-received singles "Stay" and "Happy." Although the latest compilation project by the Houston-Texas based artiste houses only four tracks, the moody project manages to successfully incorporate elements of afrobeat, dancehall, and even emo-trap to its pop base and touches an array of dark issues such as social injustice, tragedy, and even suicide. In line with the album inspiration, the lead single, “Japa” sees Wisdom reunite with fellow Texas-based afro-fusion artiste of Nigerian descent Marvy. The duo previously gave us the afro-infused love duet “Stay”, taken off Wisdom’s debut album. On “Japa” however, the duo recounts the regrettable events surrounding the Lekki Toll Gate massacre in his homeland Nigeria. Overall, “20 10 20” is a congruous body of work that stays true to its overarching theme of gloom and tragedy from start till finish. With this EP, Wisdom successfully delivers a touching tribute to all those affected by the regrettable events of the Lekki Toll Gate disaster.

Hailing from the Connecticut shoreline, the 4-piece Power Pop/Rock band The Sparkle & Fade releases an encouraging and empowering single titled "Live Life Out Loud." The Sparkle & Fade is made up of vocalist Lindsey Callahan, her husband Jeff Callahan (guitar), her sister Courtney Seely (keys and backing vocals), and brother-in-law Tyler Seely (bass and guitar). Having their creativity peak amid the heat of the lockdown, the two couples within The Sparkle & Fade found themselves taking advantage of these times while getting into the studio. Creating music that speaks on the duality of humans' lives and writing deep lyricism that motivates the listener is a staple that The Sparkle & Fade consistently delivers. Regarding their recent single, the band has inspired once again. Their recent uplifting and exhilarating single "Live Life Out Loud" gives listeners a sense of hope for the future and reminds them to live their lives unapologetically and authentically. The entire 4-piece is powering through with a bright blend of Electro-Pop elements and uplifting Rock instrumentals, sending the song into a positive and warm atmosphere. The Sparkle & Fade's single "Live Life Out Loud" opens with a shimmering blend of organic/synthetic instrumentals through Courtney Seely's vibrant synth arrangement, Jeff Callahan's punchy guitar, and Tyler Seely's slick bassline. Once Lindsey Callahan enters the song with her bright and luminous vocals, she begins singing of how time manages to fly, and we're left watching our lives flash before our eyes. Encouraging us to live our lives with authenticity and independence, The Sparkle & Fade continues through this warm song with their modern Rock instrumentals that perfectly compliment Lindsey Callahan's uplifting message and soaring vocal abilities. Ending the song off on an inspirational note with help from The Sparkle & Fade's fluid instrumentals, we love what they have to offer through this supreme and inspirational single, "Live Life Out Loud." Hello The Sparkle & Fade, thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic. Why did your band want to create such an inspirational single that reminds listeners to live unapologetically with "Live Life Out Loud?" The concept behind Live Life Out Loud came from the challenges one faces with living a truly authentic and integrated life. Our band wanted to have the song highlight how the ways in which we define ourselves behaviorally- being busy, working, parenting, being a partner- can leave us looking back saying, "where am I?" To live life out loud is to slow down enough to be who you know yourself to be, and really own it in every possible way. This is how we will grow and get the most out of life. Speaking on the lyricism within your single "Live Life Out Loud," did Courtney Seely solely handle the song's lyric writing? How did she write the lyrics to be universally relatable? Yes- Courtney wrote all of the lyrics for this song. There is not intentionality around making lyrics universally relatable, but she has experience writing lyrics for a number of years and she tends to use themes that allow the listener to be able to take the story they hear and find relevance in it. With this song, she made a point to not be too specific about the content while holding tight to a theme many can connect to. Do you have a particular creative process when formulating your instrumentation and sonics? How did this go about for your single "Live Life Out Loud?" This song came out of a bass riff that then was transferred to other instruments. The main piano part was formulated this way, and then the rest of the instruments were layered around those themes. Then once all of the instrumentation was set, the lyrics were written. Seeing as your band is relatively new information, how do your released songs help listeners get to know you? What themes or concepts should we expect from you in the future? While our band is new, our connections run very deep. We are a group made up of two sisters and their husbands- all of whom have a history of playing in bands prior to this group. Our songs are a way for us to explore growth, relationship, love, and loss. We are looking to continue experimenting with our creativity, using the group as a place to express feelings openly. Because all four of us bring a different element to the group, each song has a bit of uniqueness based on who wrote it and we expect that to continue in our future as well. What can listeners anticipate to hear in the new year? Early in the new year, we will be releasing another single off of our current album and in the Spring our album of 8 songs will be released!

Hello Madisyn, congratulations on the release of, 'Save Our Hearts,' and welcome to BuzzMusic. With this being your debut album, you allow your listeners to see various sides of your authentic self. Could you please let us know; what did the creative process look like when piecing together this album? Thank you so much; it’s a very exciting time! I had to overcome a lot of personal obstacles to put this record out and it wasn’t always easy. The album was written over almost two years, after a long period of writer’s block. It was a dark time in my life, and I was struggling, privately. At the time I was feeling really lost, really broken, and very alone. It was the Artist's Way book that helped pull me out of that and I was able to start writing again. It was cathartic and healing at the same time. It was a means by which I found a way back to myself. There was a lot of heartaches, a lot of darkness I had to work through. Pouring myself into a song though, I could get lost, the world around me disappear. I would bring the songs to James first, and there was always excitement and nervousness, but it was in those moments I felt like myself again. We would work on arrangements and lyrics and then bring them to the band, where they really took on a new dimension, a life of their own. He really helped shape the sound of the record and I couldn’t be more happy or thankful. I feel so grateful for all the heart and soul they poured into making this record. You take us through smoother more ambient vibes and then have us hanging on to edgy, luxurious atmospheres! Do you have a preference as to which vibe you like to create upon better? Oh wow, I love that! I think creating both of those vibes is equally fun and I have to push myself a lot to get to those points of smoothness and edginess. I think that in the recording process I like the softer more sultry vibes, but in the actual creating process I like the edgy, punk rock vibes. It’s so much fun to play and to let loose, it hypes me up and makes me feel alive. It also brings me out of my comfort zone and evokes a little sass I have hidden inside of me! What is the story behind the inspiration for your debut album, 'Save Our Hearts?' The inspiration came from my life’s personal experiences and the desire to find the light inside me, to find myself again. To prove I could do something I had set my heart on for so long. For a long time, I didn’t know my birth family, my real name, my native heritage. It was a lifelong journey finding my family, and when I did my mother and father had both passed before I was able to be reunited with them. There is a lot of pain but also a lot of joy in my story, and meeting my brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles have been a true blessing. I feel more rooted in knowing my birth family, there is a sense of “home” I can feel inside me that was always missing. What would you like your listeners to take away from this body of work? I think that at a time when I had lost almost all faith, there was always a glimmer of hope to hold onto. We all have a light inside that shines bright, even if we don’t see it ourselves. I hope that this record touches people in a way that inspires them to share their gifts with the world. When we heal ourselves we give strength for others to do the same. What has been keeping you inspired in 2020? Well, 2020 has certainly been a pretty rough year for most, but my hope is that a better world comes from all this. I think it has given people a chance to realize what is really important in this life, and it’s not what we have, but who we have. Instagram Website #BUZZMUSIC

What inspires you to delve into a place of personal experience when releasing the music that you do? Thank you for having us, and rocking with our music, BuzzMusic, truly appreciate the love. The track dictates my words, and when I heard the track for Segue, it just sounded like something that would be played after winning a championship, in a movie, which prompted me to say, "Runner-ups this is 1st place, running up the score", lbs. What would you like your listeners to take away from “Segue?" The intricacies in our lyricism. We have two very different and distinct voices, and sometimes people get lost in the sound but pay attention to the BARZ... We're saying things people NEED to hear. Could you please tell us about what the creative process was like when crafting “Segue?" Classic and I usually write separate from each other, but we're cousins, and very like-minded, so once I heard the track, I knew from the jump I didn't want us to have a hook on it, and he agreed. It was too melodic for us to oversaturate it with more words, lol, so we agreed to just give listeners a light and airy song, to go along with the feel of the track. Who are the musical inspirations that you have that influence the music you create? Rakim is the reason I started Emceeing in the 1st place, way back in the 80s when I was a kid. Of course, Pac, Biggie, & Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt" CD was a MAJOR influence on my flow, but my modern-day influences are Curren$y, Young Roddy, Mos Def, & Griselda. What goals can we expect next from you in 2021? A ton of content! Videos, Music, a Movie is in the works as well. Our Clothing line is continuing to flourish, so I see more opportunities to get that at the forefront of a lot of future endeavors as well. More features from artists we love and rock with are on the way too, shoutout to #daCiRCLEcru, and #TruNdeedManagement! Thank you!!! Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

The Toronto-based group Trick Sensor releases an emotional ballad with their latest acoustic single, "Joanne." Led by vocalist and guitarist Daylan Gonsalves, Trick Sensor draws influences from the early 2000s and late 90s Pop-Punk. Regarding the group's name, 'Trick Sensor,' they were inspired by their vast instrumental approaches, as they're influenced but not limited to any particular genre. While incorporating catchy rhythms and sweet melodies for the listener to sing and dance along with, we're happy to introduce their latest single that moves mountains in our hearts. Trick Sensor's latest single, "Joanne," features the age-old tale of moving past a broken relationship. Daylan Gonsalves has perfectly outdone himself with regards to the in-depth and emotional lyricism, not to mention the song's bright acoustic and electric guitar serenade, we genuinely feel Trick Senor's Pop-Punk inspiration shine through this track with their spirited vocal delivery and melodic instrumentals. "Joanne" beautifully begins with a warm sonic embrace through the bright acoustic guitar strumming accompanied by Daylan Gonsalves' soothing vocals. While he starts singing a tale to "Joanne" herself, we can deeply feel Trick Sensor's Pop-Punk influence as Daylan Gonsalves articulates each lyric with incredible pronunciation and emphasis. The track is truly dynamic with help from each sonic transition. While the tempo begins to increase and a subtle yet melodic electric guitar makes its way in, we can feel an uplifting sense of passion through the organic instrumentals. We can't help but relate to Daylan Gonsalves' heavy lyricism as he sings the aches and pains of moving on from someone dear to him. Ending the song off on an energetic and spunky note, we appreciate such unique breakup tunes like "Joanne," as Trick Sensor doesn't seem to wallow in their emotions, rather release a dynamic piece to compliment the ever-changing emotions one feels during this grueling experience. Hello Trick, and welcome to BuzzMusic. What pushed you to create such a profound breakup tune with "Joanne?" Actually, I didn't write Joanne as a breakup tune although I see how it can be interpreted that way. I simply wrote it from the perspective of a boy who really wants to be with this girl, Joanne, but plays his cards all wrong and loses the opportunity, realizing it's now too late and he'll never see her again. I wanted to keep the theme really simple. Why did you want to capture such dynamic instrumentals within your single "Joanne?" What was your instrumental creative process like? Because I wrote the lyrics like a short story, the song doesn't really have a standard verse-chorus-verse structure. And so I wanted the music to take the listener on an interesting sonic journey as well, with changing tempos and rhythm shifts. I decided to create a structure I thought was unique. Of course, the song didn't come to me all at once. I wrote the track piece by piece on different days and finally had to put it all together like a jigsaw puzzle. I was happy when I felt the pieces all fall in place! The lyricism within your single "Joanne" is incredibly emotional and descriptive. How did you write your lyrics to tell your message while also allowing the listener to relate? Growing up, I was (and still am) a huge blink-182 fan. The honesty and vulnerability in blink's lyrics continue to inspire me and I try to embody those characteristics in my songwriting. With Joanne, I wanted to stay away from metaphors and keep the lyrics as literal as I could. I think there's something special in that child-like straightforwardness, which we tend to lose as we grow up in an attempt to please people. So Joanne is, in a way, me putting myself in the headspace of a teenage boy upset about losing the girl of his dreams. I hope it's the honesty of the track that listeners can relate to. We're under the impression that Trick Sensor is a one-man-band. Is this the case? Or do you have any other fellow creators within the group? This can certainly be confusing, as I've been the face of the band so far, at least mostly! Trick Sensor is actually a 4 piece band, but our lead guitarist had to leave the group indefinitely earlier this year. So we're now a drummer, a bassist, and a vocalist/guitarist (myself). You can expect to see more of the band when we release our next single which will be announced very soon! What has been keeping you inspired throughout 2020 to create music? What's some advice you can share with another artist who may find it difficult to do so? Wow, 2020 has been such an emotional rollercoaster. I've personally had states of happiness and anxiety both on the same day. I've felt loved but also felt really alone deep inside; it's hard to describe. Music to me is creating something out of nothing, so that really fills the void that might exist in me every now and then. I believe that we all have positive forces and dark forces that surround us at all times and the more we reach for the light, the more fulfilled and happy we feel. Even when I'm depressed, my inclination is to write a song about how I feel and hopefully share it with the world because I know that there are many other people feeling that way too. And I believe that through sharing openly and honestly with each other, we can turn those dark thoughts and feelings into something more positive. Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

After being acknowledged by guitar legend Jeff Beck, it is crystal clear to see guitar has remained a prominent part of Harry Baker’s catalog as he emits a spotlight on Rock characteristics through the use of mercurial guitar solos in various releases. Following the release of his most recent single “Vejer,” a politically charged Blues-Rock bop, we’re given an insight into the future sounds of Harry Baker, with his tantalizing new single, “Talk to Me.” Delving into the reflective and dominant soundscape that is “Talk to Me,” we are gifted with the lush and vibrant talents amongst Harry Baker’s guitar playing abilities. Progressing through enticing instrumentation that dances upon your head top, there is no denying that Harry Baker is establishing his name as he touches on all of his expertise in a sophisticated manner that rides each wave effortlessly. The suave and reverberated sounds that he vocalizes fit into this musical puzzle with every powerful crash cymbal hit, creating a vivid atmosphere for you to get lost in translation. Allowing the carefully crafted harmonious melodies that he sheds to sparkle as a focus while each note and element has its own limelight, we can hear Harry Baker perform a stimulating story as he drapes magnetism all over us. Expressing the importance of communication and in fact encouraging it, all he wants is for us to talk to him if we feel it, and we definitely feel all that Harry Baker has to offer us. Thriving on imaginative adaptability, Harry Baker’s work amongst the self-made beats, jazz-influenced guitars, and soulful vocals strike our ears in the most pleasant manner as we get the full picture from this skyrocketing artist. Congratulations on the release of your latest single, “Talk to Me.” With a flourishing list of releases through the year, you are definitely not a stranger to creativity! In the sweet sounds of “Talk to Me,” we would love to know; what moment inspired the storyline of this record? When I start working on something that has a spark, I never know how the track will end up. I first put down the guitars you can hear in the verses, and build a beat around that. After I had a sort of theme going, I started to play around with vocals. The phrase “Talk To Me” just came out, it fit with the bassline, and seemed to syncopate nicely with the other elements I had down in the early process. So I had the main groove and “Talk To Me”. I was then reminded of the vast amount of talks and calls I’ve had with people since this lockdown business. I’ve almost never felt so connected or felt this sense of community since our social lives have been turned upside down. I’ve rekindled and expanded many friendships through modern-day means of communication, technology, and social media. I thought I’d target that feeling of knowing someone knows they can come to you for a chat. I wanted to build on this idea of positivity and community despite this year's constant attempts to break us all apart. With the twists and turns that 2020 has thrown us, what are some challenges that you’ve had to overcome in order to remain consistent with your craft? Where to begin...It’s obviously been a total spanner in the works for most creatives, self-employed individuals, musicians, artists, etc. One of the biggest letdowns for me was not being able to complete my university days with the show that would sum up my three years studying popular music. It was to be tied in with the album launch for my third album, Everything Is Temporary. As a result, I had to perform at home and totally alter the sound and “message” of the album. This doesn’t come close to the other struggles I could mention, money-loss, venues closing their doors, festivals, all the real good sh&t! Not only did I have to accept that the album, which I’d worked my socks off for, (I mean every day, all day for almost a year and tied it in with uni and various jobs) would have no send-off, no launch party, nothing, I had to deal with not seeing my girlfriend for five months due to the lockdown. I feel awkward mentioning how this lockdown affected me because it’s affected everyone, I’m not the only one, but that’s what makes my new single so important to me, we’re all in it together and we can still embrace the beauty of being able to connect online. As far as overcoming the issues, well, you just have to get on with it. Don’t you? In terms of themes and messages, what would you like your listeners to take away from “Talk to Me”? Whilst the track touches on communication and collaboration through the means of modern-day technology and social media, I also wanted to send out a reminder that despite this year's negative elements, we’re all in this together. We can still find ways to feel close, positive, and connected. I’ve been away from the UK and my usual network of friends and family for over 6 months now, people have been deprived of their social antics and groups, we’ve seen all sorts come to a grinding halt. However, I wanted this track and music video to give out a positive, supportive, and community-based message. Talk to your friends, check in on them, because feeling like the person who others can come to, is a mighty privilege. That’s what inspired "Talk To Me." Being acknowledged by Jeff Beck for your talents is an achievement in itself! What was it like for you when you got word that you were getting that recognition? This was a rare and strange opportunity for me. His neice went to my college (I had no idea) and she noticed he was one of my influences when the college posted an article about my first album back in 2016. Whether “Uncle J” even remembers what he said about my playing, he certainly gave me a wave of confidence, a wave I’m still surfing to be honest. Getting even a couple of words from such a god, that’s always going to be a highlight. I trust his ears, you’d be a fool not to, so that’s always one of the best gifts a musician could ask for. What were some stand out moments that you experienced when releasing your third studio album, “Everything is Temporary”? Well, as I was in lockdown, there weren’t any conventional highlights; gigs, or shows. But I practiced some fundamental skills that all musicians must be in touch with, patience, flow, and practice. I took the time to listen, just listen. Not just to music, but what I was creating too. I feel I really developed my ears in the process of producing EIT and cleared the jump of fear of producing and mastering an album yourself. Of course, there are things I would do better next time, but that’s how we learn! We also managed to do a show in February, and I took a trip to Holland to play for Sofar Sounds. Looking back now, I just managed to get those opportunities in before things started to go tits up, and I’m super grateful. I also got to collaborate with some amazing other musicians and friends. The album is an ultimate snapshot of my life at that time and though my time in London producing, recording, and writing that album sort of blurred into one memory, it also left me filled to the brim with motivation and encouragement to persevere through any mental or physical challenge thrown at me in regards to the severe spanner that is the Corona Virus. Perhaps that’s why my newest track came out so well despite the challenges I’ve had to deal with. What are some words of inspiration that you would give to any artists that are looking to pursue music as a career? To anyone looking to start a music career, don’t look to start a music career. Find your passion, find what interests you, find what sounds interested you learn theory, listen to all styles of music, if something’s for you, you’ll know! But, don’t be afraid to reach out to other musicians for help, if they ignore you and knock you down because of the size of your following, then it’s not their passion, passionate musicians and artists will always help. I will always help. #talktome Other than that, get good at an instrument, and learn to sing. Even if you want to be a guitarist for the rest of your life, learning to sing and understand the distance between notes will change your life and the way you see music and sound. Subtle changes to your practice and mindset will benefit you and enhance your ability to not just play and write, but connect with others. You mentioned that “Talk to Me,” is the sound we can expect from you moving forward. What made you realize that was the direction you wanted to take your music? By having "Talk To Me" mastered by Pete Maher (U2, Rolling Stones, 1975) and some assistance in the production zone from Alex Lindner (Flood For The Famine), I realized the importance of having an extra pair of ears on your music. You can produce, record, and write all of your music, and that’s great, but your music won’t go anywhere on its own. It’s crucial to have another perspective, to break out of your own bubble and come forward to the real world. Alex made a vast amount of subtle changes that seriously made the track. Pete also brought the track to such a high standard. Moving forward, it’s nothing but clean mixes and saucy masters. From a songwriting point of view, I feel my music is always changing, perhaps this is one of the qualities that sets me apart from some of the other drivel we’re fed these days. I don’t know how my next single will sound yet in terms of style or genre, but I feel there are certain aspects in my music and elements that remain consistent, despite the variation in personality. What I will say is that I very much enjoy making music that gets people dancing, or feeling positive. I hope "Talk To Me" can deliver either of these emotions. harrybakerguitar.com facebook.com/HarryBakerUK instagram.com/harrybakeruk

The Award-winning British-born Composer, Producer, and Songwriter Alise Ashby releases her long-awaited emotional piece, "I Will Carry You (feat. Gabriela Martina)." Also known as 'the melody master,' Alise Ashby is truly an artist of versatility as her music touches on sounds like Jazz, New Age, Orchestral instrumentals, Pop, and Rock. Always coming through with powerful lyrical messages that serve hope and inspiration to the listener, we're eager to introduce Ashby's latest single that moves mountains. Through her latest release, "I Will Carry You," Gabriela Martina sings a heartbreaking tale of losing a loved one while sitting in the situation's heartache. Although this song was created in 2006 for Ashby's friend who lost his wife, she felt the piece was needed now more than ever as loved ones have been lost everywhere due to the ongoing pandemic. "I Will Carry You" opens with soft piano melodies that set the song's emotional and heartfelt atmosphere. As Gabriela Martina takes our breath away with her soothing vocals, her lyrical message stands out as clear as day. As she continues to sing of the memories, she held with someone dear, Gabriela Martina shifts into the chorus where she promises to carry someone by her side for the rest of eternity. As the second verse begins, the song's instrumentals slowly expand with help from a soft string section, warm brass, down-tempo percussion, and the same heartfelt piano melody. We honestly couldn't have asked for a more meaningful and hopeful song that goes perfectly with the times at hand, as we can't physically be with our loved ones either, yet not to the extent, Gabriela Martina sings. Alise Ashby has captured the utmost heart and emotion within her tender single, "I Will Carry You." Through each captivating instrumental and emotional lyric, Alise Ashby has painted delicate pictures for anyone to relate with. Why did you choose to release your song "I Will Carry You (feat. Gabriela Martina)" now, even though it was written in 2006? I chose to release the song now due to the unprecedented loss of life worldwide from the pandemic. Experiencing the loss of a loved one is a part of the human condition that wrenches at our very core, yet has no path of avoidance for any of us. It is dedicated to all those who have lost loved ones to the pandemic this year and yet speaks to everyone and anyone who has lost a loved one at any time in their life. This holiday season, thousands will be trying to cope with their loss. I only hope this song may bring comfort. Could you take us back to the writing process for your single "I Will Carry You (feat. Gabriela Martina)?" Was it difficult to write about such a tragic topic of loss? I wrote this song for a dear friend who lost his wife in 2006. I felt his pain and sadness and was inspired to write a song for him in the hope it would soothe him. Within meditation and contemplation, I was guided to sit down at my piano. The words the music just poured out. The process was so organic, so inflow. From my recollection, it only took a couple of hours to complete…..one of those magic moments of ‘being in the zone’! Your single "I Will Carry You (feat. Gabriela Martina)" is timeless, especially through your organic instrumentals. Did you have any sonic inspirations from other artists that helped you form the instrumentals for this single? Yes, I believe so! Growing up in England, I was surrounded by the timeless and classic sounds of contemporary pop music with, The Beatles, Carpenters, Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John, to name a few - the classical greats, including Mahler, Lizst & Wagner, as well as a tremendous amount of musical theatre in London’s West End, particularly Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice’s hits. With this combined exposure, I fell in love with melody and orchestral arrangements. I devoured it. Additionally, it is my intent to write a full orchestral arrangement in the line of James Horner & Will Jennings's hit, ‘My Heart Will Go On,” …... another inspiration. Seeing as your song "I Will Carry You (feat. Gabriela Martina)" was created in 2006, can you notice any change within your music over time? Or have you managed to stick with your sound over the years? Yes, I do notice changes. Whilst the essence of my sound remains, just as each of us is here to evolve, as a composer and songwriter dedicated to one’s craft, the intent is to always be evolving, getting better. When I was younger I hoped my music would hit mainstream much earlier in my career. Now looking back, I am grateful it didn’t as I know that without experiencing life’s many challenges, my work would not have the depth it has now. It wouldn’t connect and touch people as well as it does now. What kept you inspired while you were creating music this year? I am a strong believer that each of us is given a unique gift to offer to the world. For me, it is expressing through the powerful vibration of music. I love what I do and I am passionate about being of service through the sharing of my work. Everything I create comes from a place of making a difference. As my quote on my website says: “It is my passionate intention to bring joy, reinforce hope, and help raise the collective vibration for positive global change.” Having been composing my whole life, through a handful of amazing synchronicities, a number of highly talented performers have become a part of my music tribe and have contributed their talents to this song. Beautiful Swiss-born Gabriela Martina’ with her soulful voice. Sweet Dave Mattacks, a comrade Brit on drums, who has played or recorded with many of my idols, (Paul McCartney, Elton John, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Chris Rea), and Dave Clark, Berklee Bass Professor and one of Boston’s most sought after jazz bassists. I am both grateful and humbled for the excitement and support from them all. I always feel exhilarated when I am in the creative zone as I begin with an empty canvas,….be it for a song or instrumental. The melody takes on a life of its own as it takes its place in the spotlight, complimented by orchestral harmonies as I weave my musical tapestry. It’s a process of creating a conversation between the instruments. This is the second of 6 songs being released as singles. The other 4 are in production with my tribe for release in 2021!

Hailing from Portland, OR, the two-piece Pop duo Dirty White Shoes go emotionally deep with their atmospheric and reminiscent single, "Sucks It Hurts This Bad." Consisting of Angel Ascencio and Jordan Waller, the two have crafted their sound to let listeners connect on deeper levels. When speaking about their music and how they want to impact their audience, Dirty White Shoes stated, "People use music as medicine to find their peace. I hope when people play our songs, they can find that." With their latest single, "Sucks It Hurts This Bad," Dirty White Shoes brings listeners through a reminiscent storyline with Angel Ascencio's soothing vocals that sing of wanting to go back and play his cards right. Not to mention Jordan Waller's rhythmic electric guitar and fresh drum breaks, the two provide a warm and heartfelt space through each tender element. "Sucks It Hurts This Bad" begins with a mid-tempo beat drop with airy drum patterns, melodic background keys, and Angel Ascencio's warm vocal stylings. While he starts singing of dealing with a breakup's pain head-on and wanting to go back to better times, Jordan Waller comes through with his technical and sublime instrumentals that offer a bright, optimistic, and tender Pop atmosphere. With each soft and soothing melody the boys provide, we can't help but drift along with the sweet instrumentals, especially through the melodic piano at the hook. Ending the song off with positively chilling instrumentals and delicate background vocals, we absolutely adore what Dirty White Shoes have done with their single "Sucks It Hurts This Bad," as they bring listeners deep into an emotionally charged and vulnerable space that's easily relatable. Where did the inspiration for your single "Sucks It Hurts This Bad" come from? Was it emotionally difficult to write lyrics based upon a broken relationship? It wasn’t so much that I “found” inspiration. I wanted to write the song in a way where it can speak from different perspectives. The song is about a real relationship, but no one was the “bad guy” in it. To be honest I was stuck on this song for so long and felt like I re-wrote the verses so many times. If anything the difficult part of it all was finding the right words to say for both parties. Seeing as Angel Ascencio handles the songwriting/vocals and Jordan Waller tackles the production, guitar, and drums, what did your overall creative process look like when making "Sucks It Hurts This Bad?" I had a demo for this song before I met Jordan. I was working on it with a good friend of mine, Cade, who is also an artist. We ended up putting it aside since we both had a couple of projects we were working on at the time. When Jordan and I became official, I sent him the demo I made and he fell in love. We ended up stripping everything except a small drum loop we were really grooving to and the piano I originally laid down. This was one of the more challenging songs we’ve worked on. Something about it required a different level of patience and creativity. With songs like "Sucks It Hurts This Bad," how do you formulate your music to offer listeners a sense of connection and reliability? I think that just happens on its own. It's up to me to be true to myself in my writing but the rest is up to our fans. They decide how this specific song relates to their specific situation, whatever that might be. Every song I’ve put out is for the listener. Now that you have six released singles under your belt, are there any common themes or concepts within your music that listeners can associate your brand with? One of the best compliments we’ve received “you write quintessential California music”. If I had to pick a common theme it’s that. We write both sad and happy songs you can always play on that sunset drive or out late with your significant other. Our brand is all about chasing a positive outlook through troubling times. It's about letting the music just hit you haha. Did you face any challenges as a band while creating new music this year? Yes, but we know everyone has or is facing some sort of challenge. We will always face hardship, but music makes it a little easier. Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

As we are introduced to a diverse passion that Garrett DeVaughn has to offer listeners, we come to the realization that he is set out to provide positive themes and messages in the carefully crafted thought he puts forth. Striving for greatness through his artistic versatility, you can’t help but be pulled towards the essence of “The Climb.” Hello Garrett, Congratulations on the release of “The Climb,” and Welcome to BuzzMusic. With the raw talents that you showcase, what encouraged you to choose this theme for the creation of “The Climb?" When I wrote "The Climb", I saw it as a simple song, with a simple idea...Resilience. I didn't want to complicate that message with a bunch of extra parts and pieces. I had %90 of the song written within an hour, which is VERY rare for me, but I think that speaks to the simplicity of the idea. How did you come to find your developed sound in the music industry? I'm a rock and metal fan at my core, so there's a lot of influence there in how I approach writing. For a good while, I've been playing/writing solo, so I have become deliberate in writing music I could present as a solo act and it still has some power to it. Certainly, a lot of what I write could be great with a band and one day I hope to see that, but right now, I'm just doing my thing. I've always been drawn to music that had intensity and purpose, and that's what I try to create in most of my music. What did the recording session look like when putting together the musical pieces of “The Climb?" Corey Horn was my producer for the album. He and I had several talks about how to approach the album, and how to approach each song within it. A steady message was that we wanted to really give each song it's own space to be what it needed to be. So, for "The Climb" we kept with the simple approach. Aside from some fine-tuning, and layering, what you are hearing is me and my tenor ukulele. We probably had all the tracks recorded for mixing within an hour. Corey did his very best Gandalf impression, and here we are. Simple, but very effective. With a vast amount of musical influences that range in genres, such as Outkast, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd. How do you allow your musical influences to speak into the music that you create? You know, I don't really think about it a lot in the moment of writing. I try to let my instincts guide the music, and at the same time, I trust that the musical influences I hold dear will find their way in. For sure, there are times that after beginning writing, I'll listen to something and think "I bet I could get that into this song" and work from the outside in...sometimes it comes out great, and sometimes it's a hard "No", but it's always worth trying. What goals do you have for your music in the new year? #1 goal - Get my music to the people that need it. I recently heard a great description of a person's purpose in life. We all have special abilities, things that we can do like no other, and it is our obligation to share that ability with the people that need it. There are people that need to hear (and see) what I'm doing, just as much as I needed to write it, and that is the priority for me. Everything else will fall into place. #2 goal - Have a 2nd album out by the beginning of 2022. #3 goal - Enjoy the ride, and keep in mind that pleasure does not exist without pain. To struggle is to be alive. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC

The Icelandic Rock Artist Daníel Hjálmtýsson releases a moody Neo-Gothic adventure with his 4-track EP titled, 'EP.' Accompanied by Belgian veterans Aldo Struyf and Lyenn on the project; they deliver heightened themes of expressionism while floating with sultry and melancholy tones. When being described as the Icelandic offspring of Leonard Cohen, Nick Dave, and Mark Lanegan, one can understand the musical stylings of Daníel Hjálmtýsson better. After receiving vast recognition through his EP's previously released singles, the likes of Daníel Hjálmtýsson have been on heavy repetition throughout local Icelandic radio stations while also reaching Seattle. We're excited to introduce his latest project, as we get a taste of the past and the present within the EP's four tracks. Piercing the EP with the introductory track, "Volatile," the song begins with a cinematic approach, similar to the opening of a major motion film. While formulating it to be incredibly modern in sound, we hear hard-hitting electronic kicks, woozy electric guitar, a droning synth in the background while a powerful string section gradually makes its appearance. Once Daníel Hjálmtýsson begins singing with his smooth and low vocals, we hear a reflective lyrical message of facing your demons head-on and embracing them for what they are. This down-tempo and the haunting tune ends off with organic instrumentation and floating background synths, offering an abundance of sonic satisfaction. Moving into the second piece, "Fear Flows," Daníel Hjálmtýsson sends plenty of chills to the listener through the melancholy ambiance that melts through our speakers. With a brilliantly emotional intro through whaling lead guitar, plucky layered guitar, and intricate percussion patterns, Daníel Hjálmtýsson enters the song and sings of the relatable turmoil we all experience. Another reflective down-tempo tune, we feel heightened Neo-Gothic, and Grunge elements pour through the song's heavy instrumentals. While Daníel Hjálmtýsson continues to sing of the flowing fear that humans can't escape, he finishes the track with a powerful sense of reflection and overcoming the demons we fight. With the next track, "Withered," we hear an incredibly sultry and dark atmosphere set upon this song like a mid-fall fog. We hear Daníel Hjálmtýsson open the song with his low, warm, and clear vocals offering a sensual delivery while singing quite poetic lyricism towards the bitter-tasting fruits inflicted by the bitter-sweet times of searching for inner peace. While accompanied by downtempo kicks and cymbals, a haunting electric guitar delivers a dreamy sweet-escape alongside the darkly-lit atmosphere. We truly love the ambiance and melancholy elements that Daníel Hjálmtýsson has infused into this spacious and chilling piece. Ending the EP off with the outro track, "Birds (Alt. Version)," the song begins with saddened acoustic guitar picking and Daníel Hjálmtýsson's Leonard Cohen-like vocals, singing a down-tempo, poetic, and reflective tale. While singing of his dreams and reaching them with all his might, Daníel Hjálmtýsson sinks deeper into introspection and questions life's many daunting mysteries. The instrumentals gradually expand to be highly orchestral with help from a chilling cello, soft woodwind flairs, and the jazzy undertones through the mellow bassline and downtempo drums. While ending off on more of a dark note, we honestly feel refreshed after listening to such an in-depth project like this. Through each reflective, poetic, and profound lyrical concept within Daníel Hjálmtýsson's EP, 'EP,' we feel compelled to listen to the project time and time again, as we highly enjoyed the deep and wise introspection that Daníel Hjálmtýsson and his surrounding creators touched on within this haunting sweet-escape. We genuinely love the reflective and haunting adventure you've taken us on with your latest 4-track project, 'EP.' What inspired the creation of the songs within the project? That´s a pretty good description of what the EP is to me in many ways, a haunting reflective venture into myself, my experiences, relationships, environment, and my life, but only holding a fraction of the mirror. Thank you for reading into it like that and thanks for the love. The four songs are a small collection of music and poetry I´ve written over a fairly long period of time. Inspired by love, loss of love, depression, anxiety, confusion, hurt, inner conflicts, and struggles that have plagued too many of us, with hope and light not out of reach. A kind of twilight of the spirit, a conflict of light and darkness. The songs vary a lot in soundscapes and themes, different islands in the same sea, and serve as a taste of what´s to come. We´re just getting started. Is there a particular lyrical concept that flows through the entirety of your project, 'EP?' What sort of stories did you want to share with listeners? I write a lot about a personal experience, be it good or bad and my lyrics could be described as a diary or a therapeutical exercise of sorts, where I also indulge in dreams, nightmares, and other dimensions and the imaginary to tell those stories and express myself. It´s a spiritual, holistic, and hauntingly reflective process. Growing and learning from the past, present, and beyond. Could you take us through your EP's creative process while collaborating with Aldo Struyf and Lyenn? How did they help bring your vision to life? Aldo and Lyenn brought a lot to the songs (“Fear Flows”, “Volatile”) and inspired me to look into certain sonic aspects I had sort of cornered off in the back of my mind but couldn´t squeeze out – they made that happen. I asked them to add whatever came to mind and top off the songs and I couldn´t have asked for more. It´s the same with the Red Limo Quartet and Magnús Jóhann, that guest on “Birds (Alt. version)” and the single version of that song. I didn´t ask anything of them but to play what they heard and voila. There is a reason I look to these people for contribution, it´s not just the love, respect, and friendships, I´m a huge fan of all of them too. They get me. I wrote the songs in a variety of ways and had them lined up before taking them to my band. Consisting of Hálfdán Árnason (bass), Pétur Hallgrímsson (guitars) and Skúli Gíslason (drums). We jammed on the songs and arrange them. Most of them became huge sonic journeys that we simply could not fit onto an EP, so we especially look forward to playing the songs in a live setting, with Garðar Borgþórsson now replacing Pétur on guitar respectively. It was a beautiful process in the living room of my drummer´s house Skúli in his hometown of Selfoss, a quiet town outside of the city. Everything just clicked. Shortly thereafter we met up with our friend and producer, Jóhannes Birgir Pálmason to record the EP in a warm, laid back studio with no name in Reykjavik last summer. To then have a legend such as Alain Johannes top it all off with mastering the EP was just a gift on its own and an immense pleasure. Why did you want to create four tracks that offer this profound melancholy tone within 'EP?' Do the sonics within this project represent you in any way? I feel these four songs serve as an intro to my/our sonic worlds and a good starting point for what´s to come. We´re only just getting started, as I said. The profound melancholy, as you say, can also be interpreted as a coping mechanism through artistic expressionism. The songs are very dark in tone as I use music to battle demons and shake monkeys off my back, deal with and accept the spectrum of being, yet staying faithful, true, honest, and mindful of who I want to be and who I am. I tend to dwell on the past a bit too much at times and overthink certain things and to write about them helps me move forward and put those things to bed, or at least try to. It gives meaning to the unwanted. Instead of letting the darkness take over you and torch you, you embrace the beasts and tame them, use them and bend them to your will. When the monkeys claw at your back, you play with them instead of being victimized. You stare into the mirror and accept the one staring back in all forms. You create from despair, anxiety, pain, your feelings and emotions you´ve experienced and kept trying to conquer each day. Being mindful and aware that you are in control. Create not collapse. Getting sober was also a huge factor in the way I approached my musical work. It set a lot of things free. I got sober on my own a few years ago and quit cold turkey and learned a lot about who I was, who I´ve been, who I don´t want to be, and who I want to strive to become. I never did AA, never attended meetings, I needed another way and I needed to figure things out on my own. Something happened and I got in touch with myself, my life, and my way of being in a way I never thought possible. Turning your own mind and body into your monastery. Music means more to me than I could ever describe and I am so thankful to have the chance to hear it, play it, and experience it in every way. We've heard that you're already gearing up for releases in 2021. Should we anticipate a similar sound to your project 'EP' within the upcoming releases? Yeah, we have a lot of cool things lined up for next year. We are recording new material for an LP release and some visual footage as well. The LP has already been written, so we just need to jam and arrange together as a band. We are locking down together for rehearsals and recording some demos in late December with hopes of being in the studio by March. The music I´m making is a complex animal with a lot of different shapes and sides to it but I think you can expect a similar approach. Dark, melancholic themes in a rock, experimental, electronic, ballad, folky, proggy environment where expressionism and experimentation are key. Visuals will also play a vital role in all of this and we look forward to sharing those with our audience. We just need to roll with the on-going crisis and see what happens but we plan on hitting the road when we can be sure of each other´s safety and everyone else´s. We look to the future, further creativity, and travels with positivity, determination, and excitement. We can not wait to see you and play some music. Stay safe and be true to yourself and others around you. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC
