Coming in from Michigan, the 5-piece Rock band American Hotel System releases a one-shot music video for their entire EP titled 'Live at Dogtown Studio.' After garnering inspiration for the EP through our physical separation, American Hotel System takes us through scorching tracks to lift our spirits once again. Fresh off of our 'Top Ten Acts of 2019,' we've seen the likes of the 5-piece American Hotel System grow exponentially through their powerhouse sound and their increasing fanbase. Now releasing their EP 'Live at Dogtown Studio,' American Hotel System mentioned that over quarantine, the band would share zoom calls, texts, e-mails, acting as musical postcards that connected the band again. Opening their EP 'Live at Dogtown Studio,' with the introduction track "The Feeling," American Hotel System quickly sends us into a blazing atmosphere. As the song begins with tight percussion cymbals, a mellow electric guitar, and a plucky bassline, the band has our energies at a high within the very first seconds. As the lead vocalist begins to pour his warm and anthemic vocals over, he starts singing a story of having your mind race on end and seeking the feeling of thrill once again. Through each melodic Rock instrumental, we're feeling lifted after the EP's first track. Moving on to the second track, "Loyalty," the song begins with a fiery electric guitar solo and drops into a whole and hard-hitting sound through the entire sweltering instrumentation from American Hotel System. Fueling this song with energy and an up-tempo beat, we love how the lead vocalist heightens the song's strength through his rhythmic and unique vocal delivery that captures our undivided attention. We can't help but feel this 60s Surf-Rock atmosphere, especially around the hook, as American Hotel System pushes through with infectious melodies and rhythm that get us up and moving. Slowing it down with the third piece, "21st," we hear a beautiful electric guitar melody open the track while the lead vocalist begins singing of our 21st century and the modern-day turmoil it's been drenched with. While American Hotel System gradually begins to increase their instrumentals, we're met with more of a reflective tone as the band drops their soothing sounds for listeners to take in stride. We can't get enough of American Hotel System's tightly-wound instrumentals, as they offer this sense of sonic strength while the lead vocalist continues to sing lyricism that we can all relate to. Reaching the end of the EP with the outro track, "Talk, Inc.," American Hotel System jumps into the fire right off the bat through their upbeat and incredibly rhythmic instrumentals. Especially through the plucky electric guitar and the sweltering sensation from the bass licks, we're heavily intrigued by the hefty outro the band offers. Firing through the first minute with nothing but the heated instrumentals, the lead vocalist enters the song and drops his playful and poised lyricism for listeners to sing along with this anthemic piece. Through the outro track, we can hear the utmost strength, passion, and life that American Hotel System offers within their EP. American Hotel System has done an impeccable job of delivering ear-pleasing and foot-tapping tunes when we need it most, and their entire EP 'Live at Dogtown Studio' allows listeners to bang their heads with the band's sweltering sonics and relatable lyricism. We also must note the passionate performance we've witnessed through American Hotel System's music video for their EP, 'Live at Dogtown Studio,' as we see the five beating hearts forget the outside world and energetically deliver their mastered craft.

Stamford, Connecticut is home to the Alternative Rock Trio, The Wind-Up. This impactful and progressive three-piece group made up of drummer Gio Gomez serving up some major rhythm, bassist and lead guitarist Patrick Foti dominating the groove, and guitarist and vocalist Nick Amico serenading us with an amplified edge. Forged officially in the summer of 2020, The Wind-Up syndicate's elements of raucous and rhythmic modern blues, hook forward post-grunge, and singing pop-rock lead guitar. Developing a distinct sound, they have often been compared to holding components like some classic favorites such as Kaleo, The Black Keys, and Pearl Jam. The Wind-Up's boisterous debut single "Who Cried Run," holds to the heavy essentials of the embodiment of Rock n Roll. Electrifying guitar licks surge through the speakers in this up-tempo anthem that has enough zest to season the fusion of genres they fortify. Fueling listeners with weighty energy dazzled in angst, The Wind-Up carries forth an unruly persona that has our heads spinning. Tapping into the expressions of running away from the darkness that haunts you, Nick Amico's passion powered vocal delivery has us yelling every word The Wind-Up has carefully scripted. Diving into an abstract tale of Clay battling monsters, broken hearts, and fear, we can't help but want to know who Clay is on a more subjective level. Immersing us in mystery as we are kept on the hook to how his story ends, The Wind-Up has managed to illustrate eloquent depictions on the blank canvas that remains in our minds. For a debut single, The Wind-Up has embodied every element that constitutes a hit Rock ballad. As they take us through the liveliness and dynamism that they bring forth in their performance. This trio has made quite the impact by releasing their debut single "Who Cried Run." Congratulations on the release of your debut single, “Who Cried Run.” As this being your bold grand entrance into the music industry, we would love to acknowledge the dynamic that all three of you have together! Could you please tell us about how The Wind-Up came to be? Thank you! Appreciate the opportunity to be featured by BuzzMusic.The band originally started as an electrified solo project of our singer Nick Amico. As the band practiced, the music became colorized and characterized by each member’s unique style and identity and The Wind-Up was officially forged in the summer of 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. We’ve each worked together on different projects throughout the last decade and were able to carry over that chemistry to this project. What moment inspired the theme and storyline of “Who Cried Run?" It’s a familiar story to a lot of people I’m sure. How a person can fall into a trap of thinking that they’re different. After your friends warn you to not be with a person and that their toxicity would lead to heartbreak. Your own bravado or ego overwhelming those voices only to be burned and ultimately asking why you didn’t listen to the people who told you to stay away. The song attempts to tell that story through Clay and Maralee ending in Clay’s demise. Could you please take us into what the studio session was like when recording this debut record? A lot of writing took place at the moment - lyrics, lead guitar parts, harmonies. Our producers Toni and Ryan of Meserole Sound did a fantastic job of leading us in the right direction and helping to shape the sound and bring out the best in us. With COVID, we were tasked also with keeping each other safe and navigating mask-wearing with recording which was challenging. Luckily the studio was excellent at keeping protocol in place and allowing us to focus on the music. What would you like your listeners to take away from the music you release? The next few songs you’ll hear from us are meant to get people up, moving, and excited to see live music again. Back when the lights were low, the amps up too loud, the crowd packed into the room with friends enjoying being together. We are lucky enough to have Gio Gomez bringing a rhythm that drives and shapes the song; giving us that jump out of your seat feeling. Patrick Foti does a great job of adding his elements of pop-rock character to several of the songs through backup vocals and soaring lead guitar. Nick’s vocals and rhythm guitar give structure and emotion that the band ultimately brings to life. We are so excited to bring these songs to you and to take you to a time where live music was a part of our lives. What are your plans and goals as a band for next year? We have two more single releases planned over the next few months and ultimately are looking to use that momentum to drive towards a full-length album, tour, and live performances at some of the stages that we’ve missed (and that we hope are missing us too). The next year will be full of challenges resulting from COVID that will evolve over the next few months. We hope that everyone will stay safe, wear a mask, and practice social distancing when possible to help us all get back to a place where live music can be a part of our lives again.

Based in New Jersey, the Alternative-Folk trio Cold Weather Company clasps our hearts with their seasonal and spirited music video for "Warmth in Winter." Consisting of Brian Curry, Jeff Petescia, and Steve Shimchick, the trio is ready to soak in the warmth of the holidays. With a name like Cold Weather Company, the trio was bound to create a sweet holiday tune at least once in their careers. With the release of their single, "Warmth in Winter," Cold Weather Company also wanted to make the experience all the more authentic and nostalgic by releasing a collectible vinyl featuring the lovely holiday tune. Also releasing a music video for the single, "Warmth in Winter," Cold Weather Company has placed all the passion and heart that the holidays provide within their five-minute video. They've also featured the likes of various families, a high school choir, and the trio themselves passionately singing along with the song's sweet lyricism. "Warmth in Winter" begins with Jeff Petescia's bright electric guitar plucking, alongside Brian Curry's warm acoustic, and Steve Shimchick's melodic piano. Accompanied by a passionate string section and shimmering jingle bells, we truly feel an authentic holiday song grace our ears. While Steve Shimchick begins vocalizing the memories and moments we feel this time of year, we're transported into a warm atmosphere with the song's natural tenderness. Regarding the song's music video, viewers can see Cold Weather Company passionately perform inside a decorated home studio, dressed in warm holiday sweaters, and smiles abound. As a background ensemble begins singing along with the boys, we see scenes of a high school choir, home recordings of various families singing along at home, and Cold Weather Company leading the video with their heartfelt performance. Through each passionate, seasonal, and heartfelt aspect of Cold Weather Company's single, "Warmth in Winter," the boys have perfectly portrayed a brilliantly uplifting music video that gets us ready for the season of giving. We must note how thorough and passionate your holiday single "Warmth in Winter" is. When did you begin creating the track? How long was it in the making? Thank you! We are so excited about this song, and it means a lot to hear that the passion for it comes through to the listener. “Warmth in Winter” began with the main melody. As it progressed, we paused at one point and asked ourselves, “Are we writing a holiday song right now?” That was such a fun moment because writing an original song with a holiday feel was something we always wanted to do, and the way it naturally happened added something special. We had the overall outline for the song developed that weekend and then scheduled more time to work on it during the following weeks. Between writing and recording it officially, the process took about a month. Your music video for "Warmth in Winter" is shot and recorded incredibly well. Did you have a team help execute the music video? What was your shooting process like? We appreciate that. We’re lucky to know Carlos Bustillo and Junior Roy Graquitena, both part of Bushwick Sounds and The Diner Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey. They (and the rest of the Bushwick Sounds team) always do an amazing and professional job, whether it be filming and/or recording. The filming day was actually quite eventful because during the daylight hours we set up the studio with lights and other elements to bring in a winter feel, and also managed to squeeze in a photo shoot around the city. After dusk hit, we headed back to the studio and began filming. Carlos did some initial work with the footage, and Brian handled the rest! You can find more of their work at www.bushwicksounds.com Speaking on your music video for "Warmth in Winter," how did you manage to get various families and a high school choir to sing along with you? Why did you want to add the element of an ensemble? Steve here! Some of my favorite memories of the holiday season are of singing holiday songs in high school. I was in choir and I would go around to restaurants with small groups and sing carols each year. It just so happened that my friend Burjis Cooper from those days went on to become the choir director of our high school (Cherry Hill High School West), we’ve kept in touch since we graduated in 2011 and so I asked him if it’d be possible to bring the choir into the mix. He and the students were extremely enthusiastic and it was just such a meaningful element to me to be able to have that history (and friendship) linked to the song. When it came to having various families in, we knew we wanted to include their voices, but also wanted to give them their own time to shine before a triumphant choir came in. The song focuses on that human connection, and so the more voices we could bring in, the better! We were glad to see recordings from such a mix of ages as well, and we’re honored to know a piece of their holiday can now be linked to the song as well. Why did you want to make the experience all the more authentic and release a collectible vinyl for your single "Warmth in Winter?" There’s something to a tangible record that we really appreciate. So many people were a part of this song, and we wanted to be able to share that in ways other than just a screen. The incredible artwork was created by Kiara Harris (@liongirlkiara on Instagram), and the vinyl is accompanied by sheet music and lyrics designed by Brian. We love the idea of holiday traditions and those scenes singing a song around a piano each year. By releasing the song in this way, we hope to be able to bring a new kind of tradition to families and friends, even after the holidays have passed. We owe a lot of thanks to our community for joining us in the creation of this song, and we’d like to thank Deko Entertainment for their support in the creation of this vinyl as well. What goals do you have with your music going into 2021? The pandemic has impacted so much and completely changed the music industry landscape. We had hoped to schedule a tour for this year, but are looking forward to brighter days ahead next year when we will be able to play live again! We are putting the finishing touches on a collection of new music that will be making its way into the world over the coming months as well, so we can’t wait to share it. Thank you so much for your support of “Warmth in Winter” and our music. We hope you and everyone reading this stay safe! Happy Holidays!

Los Angeles-based Eddie Cohn returns with a charismatic song inspired by the dystopian state of the world amongst Covid-19. Exuding essences of Pearl Jam meets Peter Gabriel in this powerful debut single from Eddie Cohn's upcoming album titled, "Dystopian Days." "Freedom," was written, performed and self-produced by Eddie Cohn himself. Recorded in Los Angeles during the chaotic times of Covid-19 this single features Bruce Watson from the notorious band, Foreigner, on the exhilarating guitars and pulsing bass as well as Jake Reed on the lively drums and percussion. Fashioned between the wistful ambiance of the instrumentation and the clear and present delivery of the vocalization, “Freedom,” weighs heavy in your head space as you’re caught up in the emotional state of the world. Exuding an up-tempo and vibrant take on topical issues at hand, there is no denying the passion that went into the execution of this single off of the forthcoming album, ‘Dystopian Days.’ Eddie Cohn sings sweet melodies addressing our lack of freedom that has left us all in an ongoing storm that rains upon us each day that passes since a pandemic was declared. The memorable essence of the chorus has us swaying our arms in the air as we take in all that “Freedom,” has to offer. Paired with eye-catching visuals that pan between chaos in the streets to a solidified performance of Eddie Cohn vocalizing his earnest concerns, this record acts as an anthem for a year that has passed us right by in the midst of disarray and turmoil. Eddie Cohn continues to emanate a sense of openness as he reaches out to listeners to connect emotionally. If this is a representation of what ‘Dystopian Days,” will convey, I think we’re all in for a progressive treat. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Eddie Cohn! Congratulations on the release of your single “Freedom,” off of the highly anticipated ‘Dystopian Days.’ At what moment did you fortify the theme of “Freedom” to be what it is today? I think the title pretty much speaks for itself and it came to fruition a month or so into the lockdown. This has obviously been a bizarre year. I have found myself in a very contemplative state thinking about what's happened to our fragile world. Can humans survive in isolation? What will be the cultural repercussions from all of this? With the lockdown and the mandates and the fear being promulgated by the media, I wonder if the world will ever look the same. And as time went by, this song and the themes surrounding the entire record sort of just effortlessly came out of me. I felt this deep level of inspiration where I had no choice but to sing and write about what's happening to the world. Is this a taste of what we can expect from ‘Dystopian Days’? The entire record was obviously inspired by the lockdown and strange look of 2020. The complex state of the world. Lots of emotion and passion went into these songs but it was a unique songwriting experience for me because the songs sort of wrote themselves. Most of the songs were written within a couple of weeks. This is definitely more of a rock record but I tried to balance it with synth, drum loops, strings, and harmonies. What was it like working with such talented artists to fashion this record? I've always been lucky to be surrounded by musicians who are brilliant. They hear things I don't hear or they will play a part I never would have come up with on my own. They get inspired by something I may say or maybe we collaborate and try and work out an idea together. I try to give the rest of the band a lot of freedom throughout the process. I also used to be a drummer so it's vital to me that the percussion and drums are a featured part of the songs. This was a different project because I was never in the same room as the other musicians. Normally, we'll be in the studio and jam on an idea together, but with the lockdown, we were forced to work remotely. These songs have a lot of layers, a lot of nuances so I'm blessed to have such a talented and generous group of musicians who helped me bring these complex songs to life. What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned from the year 2020? I've always tried to live for the day. Life is short and fragile and this year has just been a reminder for me to do what I love. Take care of my health. Try and make the best of a situation no matter how dire and I've really found a lot of value in alone time. It's a very inspirational space. A sanctuary can be found inside the quiet. What can we expect to see from you next, as we enter a new year? More new music this coming year. Of course, the rest of the record will slowly be released as singles and remixes but I also have some electronic dance songs coming out. I'm also a yoga teacher so I produced an ambient album with songs geared towards meditation and yoga which I'm excited about. I'll be doing some Live stream gigs to promote the music and hopefully some real-life face to face gigs as well. IG Website

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, the Alternative Artist, Producer, and Singer/Songwriter HARKNESS drops a bombastic banger titled, "Lure of the Pollen." After tirelessly honing his production skills and songwriting craft, HARKNESS has been fine-tuning his work for over a decade now. Having written countless songs, HARKNESS couldn't find a better time to share his musical venture with listeners and allow them to feel the colorful instrumentals/sonics he creates. Through his recent hit, "Lure of the Pollen," we hear HARKNESS delve deeper into Alternative with his psychedelic sonics and uplifting vocal delivery. While singing passionate and witty lyricism that lets the listener find a meaning of their own, HARKNESS offers a lively atmosphere that gets our toes tapping with each beat. "Lure of the Pollen" begins with energy from the very top. HARKNESS jumps into the song's hook right off the bat and offers this uplifting feeling through his rhythmic delivery and unique sonics/instrumentals. As HARKNESS captures brilliantly nostalgic aspects through his broad vocal range, we love the energy and passion he delivers. Listening to HARKNESS's lyrical message, we can't help but feel this raw desire for someone special as he paints pictures of magic in the air and wanting to embark on a new relationship journey with the right person. Through his blend of organic and synthetic instrumentals, we love the broad and psychedelic feel that HARKNESS has delivered with this bop. "Lure of the Pollen" reminds listeners to go with their gut and seek the love they desire. HARKNESS made it incredibly easy to bask in the glory of his recent single while also allowing the listener to find a passionate meaning of their own. Was your single "Lure of the Pollen" inspired by anything in particular? What drove you to make the piece? It was early summer and it was that time of year when everyone just seemed to look and feel so fine. The Sun was just starting to drop so the lighting became even more magical, it was then that I saw a particularly enchanting girl while riding on the bus. I couldn't help myself and approached her, my stop was quickly approaching, and as I think she was feeling 'something' too we managed to exchange email addresses just before I exited. Within just a few steps of leaving the bus, the song came..."There are no words for..." Within your single "Lure of the Pollen," you infuse rather psychedelic and nostalgic sonic aspects into the song. How did you craft your instrumentals to offer this lively space? When I write it generally comes fast and furious. As far as instrumentation goes it never feels like a choice, I never refer to other songs or periods or even a word like "psychedelic." There really is no intention of creating anything in particular or to keep within any type of framework or genre. Sounds like low range bassoons and tubas and marimbas and flutes just seem to be there automatically in my ears and I just dutifully score the song as it comes. As far as why I might hear these sounds I think it simply comes down to having a father who was a musician and who took my brother and me to many, many concerts ever since we were very young. One day we'd be seeing a Big Band, the next a string quartet, and the next ELO. Speaking on your lyrical content within "Lure of the Pollen," you capture incredibly playful and passionate concepts. Is there any meaning behind the song's title that you repeat within the piece? Lyrics are a tough topic to really talk about mainly because in the end there is no fixed meaning to them. At the moment I wrote, "...The Lure of the Pollen" it was all about those profound butterflies between a dude and a gal, that otherworldly buzz that you feel through your whole body and soul. But obviously many other moments in life provide similarly mind-blowing vibes, you can be completely alone and feel the wind blow softly on you and feel equally as excited. In the end, the song riffs on ALL things beyond our understanding. Seeing as "Lure of the Pollen" is the third released single off your upcoming album "The Occasion," how do the released singles give a taste of what we should anticipate from the overall album? These singles really are just the tip of a massive iceberg or mountain of music. A song like "Defibrillator" definitely hints at the music that doesn't follow traditional songwriting form and there is a lot of that on the album. Like I said earlier when a song comes I just grab its tail and follow where it leads without questioning it so that inevitably leads to some very interesting instrumentation and structure. I hope that people can dig the spirit behind it all even if it's not what they are accustomed to. What can we expect to see from you as we enter a new year? I am planning another couple of singles in early 2021 before the full album drops on March 5th. Musically speaking you should expect the unexpected for sure. Yes, there will be some very simple, short, and sweet numbers like "I.D." and even "Lure of the Pollen" but I promise a little bit more of an epic adventure on some of the other upcoming album tracks. Thanks ahead of time to those who stick around for the whole ride. instagram.com/harknessmfa facebook.com/HarknessMFA

Hard rock band, Rising Elijah are here to portray their powerful and rousing sound with their latest release, "Degenerated." As a band who finds importance in bringing some old school flavors in with a contemporary flash, Rising Elijah is all about vividly expressing intriguing themes. They easily come off as strikingly fearless, and that component of their sound is what heightens their overall imparted effect. With the release of "Degenerated" came an even more elevated understanding of what this progressive band is all about. Striking guitar riffs immediately penetrate the air with "Degenerated." The scathing energy pierces listening ears, having such an acute and energetic effect. A persistent drum and electric guitar carry the bulk of the productional quality, and the vocalism perfectly snaps right within the projected ambiance. Choosing to hone into an intriguing narrative, "Degenerated" follows along with the story of a man who struggles with self-understanding, as well as one who easily conforms to ignorance. Never wavering even slightly with the high-intensity performance, Rising Elijah inflames the atmosphere with determined expressions. Vehemently exposing their innate ferocity, Rising Elijah truly established their essence with "Degenerated" and proved yet again that their bustling and vigorous energy is unmatched. What component of "Degenerated" does the band feel was most surprising after listening to the completed version of the track? Well, the song is a cover, originally done by Regan Youth and popularized in the movie, "Airheads" - so when we completed our version of it, we were not so much surprised, but really pleased how it came out since covers are sometimes tuff to lock-in. Were there any pivotal messages within "Degenerated" that the band was hoping was easily translated across to listeners? Yeah, the song is basically about a guy that is kinda a piece of crap that doesn't value much. Ya know, uplifting stuff heh. Where was the inspiration sourced from in order to conjure up the theme presented in "Degenerated?" Well, since Covers are a good way to market a new band we wanted to do something that we could make our own. We tossed a few around and this one felt right. With your debut album being in its final stages before release, are there any hints you can extend to listeners about the nature of this album? Well since covid happened it's allowed us to keep working on the album and make new songs, so anyone that previously saw us live, our set has changed and grown a good bit. So whenever we can get back out there, the set and album will be pretty different than before. What can fans anticipate to hear from you next? Do you have any releases lined up before the end of the year? No other releases lined up for the end of the year - we recently did a live stream at Ultimate Studios Inc, which is up to check out on our Facebook page, while we figure out our next moves during this time of uncertainty. #BUZZMUSIC

Reigning from Tarragona, the Spanish singing sensation Red California kicks things up a notch with the release of her latest single, “Boca Sexy.” Fueled by her burning passion for music and dancing, she has emerged from a three-month quarantine in Spain with her first recorded full-length album featuring both her debut single, “Tarragona” and her latest release, “Boca Sexy.” Shortly after the achievements behind her debut single, Red California showcases her sizzling talents as she indulges fans in her new single accompanied by glamour filled, star-studded visuals that put the spotlight on not only Red California but some of Spain’s most treasured salsa dancers. "Boca Sexy" thrives in the sweltering heat of the summer containing all of the characteristics of a hit record. Fusing sultry wordplay and dance-worthy salsa rhythms, Red California was influenced by her encounter with a former partner, finding herself engrossed with lust, yet again. "Boca Sexy," written and performed in her native tongue of Catalan, takes particular notice of her ex-girlfriend's seductive lips. Immersing us in the lavish sounds of up-tempo instrumentation, we find ourselves instantly out of our seats dancing to this intoxicating composition. Transporting us to the ambiance that Tarragona offers, we gravitate towards the magnetic pull of Red California's lush and divine vocal performance. The reverberated essence of "Boca Sexy" radiates a striking glimmer of the lively persona that Red California carries forth with her in the enigmatic sonic designs she offers her listeners. Escorted by the unforgettable visuals that have Red California breaking barriers in the salsa world. Red California makes her presence known in front of the camera and behind the scenes in the visuals that were filmed in Catalonia, on the eastern coast of Spain, and highlights some of the country's most famous cities for dancing, including world-famous Barcelona, a city known for its endless nights, beautiful beaches, and artistic treasures. Red California submerges us in the likes of her compelling identity with "Boca Sexy." Closely watching her next moves, we can say that we're highly anticipating her full-length album. Congratulations on the release of “Boca Sexy.” We are obsessed with the ambiance of your new single! Could you please tell listeners a little bit more about who you are as an artist? I found a broken one string guitar at my grandparent's house at the age of 16. After fixing it by watching YouTube tutorials, I started watching videos to learn how to play. After two months I started having an interest in trying to make songs but I was not confident enough to take it to the next step so I just played at small bars across town. During these years, I've been learning a lot about drums, Latin music, and salsa dancing. By the time quarantine happened, I realized I really liked making my own music and invested all my time improving it. A few months later, I had a full album with rhythms that really spoke to me and decided to release it. And so, here I am. What was it like to be both the leading role and director of the music video for “Boca Sexy?" Have you taken on this challenge in the past? It's been a really challenging experience so far, but very rewarding. It's not easy to direct, edit, frame, focus, sing, and dance at the same time, but given these difficult times and given I'm a photographer and videographer, that was the most effective way to release on my own terms - and how I actually envisioned it. So far, it has been a great way to express my voice as an artist. Is “Boca Sexy” a representation of what we can expect from your full-length album? Not at all. Each song it's an experiment for me. I really wanted to make happy and easy songs to dance to, so for sure there will be a lot of upbeat songs. I am definitely adding more beats to it since I am also a drummer! What is the story behind your artist name? I am obsessed with red lipstick, in fact, I cannot go out without my lips being red. It's something very characteristic of me. On the other hand, I fell in love with California the first time I went there, so Red California is a name that inspires and speaks to me. What would you like your listeners to take away from the music that you put out? Definitely happy vibes! I see myself playing gigs where people are dancing, smiling, and singing along with me. When I write, I try to talk about love from a positive and happy perspective. Sometimes, love songs are either about sad breakups or about the rush of being in love. I try to expand that love spectrum a bit further where I can create a song that can look at the breakup and take a positive lesson and meaning out of it - like my upcoming single "Ya no dueles", which means, "You don't hurt me anymore". I am an easygoing and happy person, so I like reflecting that in my music and I can't wait for you to hear it! Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC
