We were very impressed by your latest release "Sipping Casa." What was your vision for this track and do you feel like you achieved that on the finished product? When starting the track, my main goal was to get back to rapping more streets and up-tempo. Before, I was focusing on more waves, melodies, and sounds. So I definitely feel I achieved my goal by getting back to my roots.  You play with a lot of varying tempos on this track that together create a solidified foundation of rhythm. What is your process for laying such a rich background sound of beats? For this track the instrumental really took the lead on how I approach the record, the beat is a very fast Tempo with blazing piano keys and drums going crazy. I had no choice but to follow the flow of the instrumental. How long have you been creating music? Was there anything in particular that inspired you to start a career in music? Going on 11 years. My older brother and some older cousins always used to rap and write rhymes a lot around me growing up. I would have to say it probably started there. What is the main objective you try to achieve for your listener's listening experience when working on a project? How do you want people to perceive your art? A positive energy. The message is to always work hard and “get some money first” so you can be the master of your own business. What can we expect to hear next from you, BenFly?

We love the dreamy beginning on Danjul's new hit, "Faded Destiny." Danjul exhibits multifaceted lyrical abilities that showcase a wide range of talent on his latest release, "Faded Destiny." Danjul's ghostly, memorizing voice envelopes "Faded Destiny" to create a languishing aurora on the track. His voice skips a beat like a dancer pops and locks their body on stage. This unique artist from Covina, California, focuses on creating passionate vocals that are reminiscent and rich in storytelling to communicate to the listener. "Faded Destiny" encompasses and electro-pop synergy with high production values. The distorted piano keys played throughout the track, create a cinematic element to the song, and the listener can envision the emotional and darker subject matter Denjul is communicating. "Faded Destiny," tells the story of a person in anguish, a heart suspended in time waiting for answers from the object of his affection. The story is told through Danjul's carefully crafted and descriptive lyrics. Lyrics like " You got me goin' insane, you make me feel a certain way, you got me so caught up in this love" and "Ask yourself if I deserve what your doing girl," give the listener a taste of the eternal torture Danjul is singing about. The thumb snapping clicks tick along like a clock, waiting for absolution. We cannot get enough of Danjul's "Faded Destiny." We know you will feel the same. Discover "Faded Destiny" here. Hello Danjul and welcome to BuzzMusic. We loved your emotional new track "Faded Destiny". Can you tell the listeners a bit more about the song and what the overall tone was you set the song to? Hey! Thanks for having me! When I wrote "Faded Destiny" I envisioned a very atmospheric vocal performance with a mixture of pop, R&B/Trap feel. The track itself went through so many different transitions! But the version you guys heard and that it out is the version I felt most connected with. The song is basically about "uncertainty" in a relationship and the yearning for "time" with the one you're falling for. Everything I write is something personal I've experienced. I truly am so glad people are liking it! It definitely has a vibe!  "Faded Destiny" really does make your entire body feel the vibes you are sending out. Is that an important aspect for you when you make music making it not just as a listening experience but something listeners can feel throughout their senses? Thanks for saying that! Of course, when I write any song, I want my listener to feel everything! Not just the beat, but the vocal the lyrics everything! I work really hard at creating quality songs that people will remember.  What has growing up in Covina, California, meant to your creative flow and how has it infused your artistry? Haha, Wow, A lot of people don't know where Covina is lol, But I hope to put it on the map one day soon! But growing up there was cool... and all my childhood/Teen memories are from there. And I do write about it in my music because certain important events that occurred while I was living there have inspired me to write about that time in my life. And I think it's a story that people will want to know... and hear about. What does the creative process look like for you? Is there anything, in particular, that really gets your creativity flowing? I'm a little weird! Haha, I normally start with a melody and or sometimes just a title of a song... I record everything on my iPhone. But I have a lot going on in this head so sometimes my ideas are so crazy I get mind-crowded and I just start writing weird shit and I get back to get later and start writing a song. I honestly write my best when I'm sad, or going through something.....I've written 5 songs in 20 mins onetime. What can we expect to hear next from you, Danjul? Just promoting "Faded Destiny"!! It was released on April 24th 2020 and in May it had over 8,000 plays on Spotify! I know that's little compared to other acts out but to me it's everything! Because I haven't really started the full marketing campaign yet for the single. In the Fall I'll be releasing another song I'm excited about! It's just been hard due to the climate of what's going on in the world...But I'm doing my best to stay focus and grinding as a new artist.

Texas-born Joshua Flores started singing from an early age. After attending a specialized school for choir in New Jersey, he returned home to continue to carry out his dreams of being a performer. At the age of 12, Joshua was signed to a record label out of Miami and gained experience in the music industry, which has carried on with him throughout his career. Already with an impressive back catalog of music, Joshua is now ready to release his written and self-produced work into the world. The first song of many is called "Attention." You are looking for a song that fits perfectly on your summer playlist? "Attention" has everything you need this year and more. Joshua's song "Attention" gives us a tropical vibe that takes you to the beaches of Malibu. A steady groove keeps the pace while Joshua's vocals provide the perfect energy to smile on your face. With this beat, you can't help but keep moving. The production includes harmonies and bright, yet moody, textures that keep Joshua's fans coming back for more. It's clear to us that the journey this young artist has been on has helped him improve, grow, and develop. Don't miss out on his newest song, "Attention." Be sure to listen to “Attention” here. Hello Joshua and welcome back to BuzzMusic. You’ve clearly been through a lot already in your career! From being signed to a record label for 5 years to having developed your sound through several releases. What have you learned along the way? How do you think these experiences have helped you become the artist you are today? I would say that I’ve learned to make any kind of music you want as long as you enjoy it. It’s great to have the freedom to try new things and different kinds of styles and genres. I’m starting to understand what my sound is and where I want it to go in the future. We know that recently you’ve begun writing and producing your own material. What inspired you to start developing these skills? What can you tell us about the production behind “Attention”? Whenever I was a part of a label all I could do was record songs that were already written and produced for me. Now that I am older and independent I started writing my own music, and that also meant having to produce the songs myself like my recent song “Don’t”. I’m still continuing to learn and improve my music production skills, which is why for some of my songs I look to BeatStars when I want to challenge myself and create a song out of my comfort zone. For “Attention” I wanted to make a fun kind of party song that people could play anywhere and dance to. I found a beat produced by Dylan Graham and Mantra and it was so catchy I knew I had to make a song out of it. It’s a fun way to collaborate with other producers and songwriters when it came to the vocal production I got to try different ideas that I wouldn’t normally do in my past songs. You’ve been performing from such a young age. What’s your favorite part about being on stage? Do you have any favorite songs you like to play? I wasn’t always comfortable on stage when I was younger but over time I’ve grown more confident and enjoyed interacting with the crowd. It’s fun when you play that one song everyone in the room knows and loves and they end up singing along. When I perform I like mixing in cover songs with my originals, the acoustic version of my song “Waiting for You” is always fun to play, but you can’t go wrong with throwing in an Ed Sheeran song like “Perfect” crowds love it. Do you have any ultimate goals as an artist? Are any of these plans being worked on or put into place currently? My goal as an artist is to continue challenging myself with new song ideas that let me experiment more and define my sound. I just want people to be able to listen to my songs and vibe with them. My goal when I write a song is to always make it relatable in some way, most of my songs are based on personal experience and I’m not the only one who has been through that so I try to make a song for everyone in a way. What can we expect to see next from you? Well with everyone being stuck inside right now it’s given me more time to work on more music. Whenever I get an idea I just start working on it right away, so I have a few songs I’m already producing and experimenting with. I’m sure I’ll be releasing a song or two this summer so be on the lookout. instagram.com/joshuafloresmusic #BUZZMUSIC

Ashley Lyn is a 25-year-old Jamaican-Chinese songstress based in Toronto, Canada. Ashley is making waves across genres of Pop and contemporary R&B.

Guitarist/composer AM Dandy releases his eclectic mix of melodies with his recent track "Piccola Peste." Born in Mondovi, Italy, AM Dandy always gravitated towards music, where at the age of nine, he found himself playing guitar, piano, and cello. After moving to Boston and graduating from Berklee College of Music, AM Dandy indeed found his unique sound to thrive off of. With his recent release "Piccola Peste," AM Dandy crafts pure melodic production overtop his broad-ranging sound of the electric guitar. From elements of timeless rock ’n roll to tying in Italian percussion techniques, AM Dandy brings a broad and ear-pleasing sound with this song. Kicking off with bright electric guitar strumming, "Piccola Peste" gradually grows in instrumentation and energy. With subtle pads that even out the harmonious atmosphere, AM Dandy's textured electric guitar tells many different stories from different walks of life. He brings in nostalgic melodies and picking techniques that take us back to Woodstock of '69, yet adds his own cultural hints by changing up the rhythm to serve something more peaceful and calming. AM Dandy ranges from blistering riffs and sultry melodies into bright and cheerful aspects through his limitless guitar playing. Composing a song with the heart's purity, AM Dandy's "Piccola Peste" shines as a bright light during these dull days. Be sure to listen to "Piccola Peste" here. HeyAM Dandy, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re captivated by your track “Piccola Peste” and your ability to incorporate different melodies and rhythms. Did you have some sort of inspiration before getting down to creating the track? Hello guys! Nice to be back! Yes, this tune, exactly like the other two in the EP, is a love song. The inspiration comes from the love story with my partner Eva, while musically I wanted to create something more "raw", especially for the guitar sound. Something less complicated and more direct. A bit more "old school". I arranged everything with the goal of creating something really full of pathos, because the meaning behind the song is really important. I really have to thank Stif Lo, Jason Park and Pedro Lobato for really trying to understand and applying to their playing the specific vibe I was deeply looking for. I am extremely satisfied with the result. A big thank also to Ricky Bonazza for the mix and the master. Within the song “Piccola Peste”, AM Dandy brings in different tempos and melodies that serve unique stories. Did you have a storyline when writing “Piccola Peste”, or was it more of a jam session? Well, the song has a detailed storyline, every section describes a precise characteristic of my partner, but for example the guitar lines are the result of jam sessions on a previously established harmony and structure. Let's say I was "fishing", looking for the right "words".  Seeing as your song “Piccola Peste” is off a 3-track EP “Ἔραμαι”, could AM Dandy elaborate on how “Piccola Peste” ties in with the EP, and why you chose it as the intro track? I think it was the perfect intro for the EP. In terms of structure it is the most organized one out of the three and it has a "ring composition", which is something that I really like to do and to hear in a track. "Petite Parisienne" is amazing, but is a bit more unpredictable, and "Chemical Lover" is a cover, completely rearranged (the original, by Andy Gee, is a Guitar and Voice Solo) but still a cover.  We’ve heard that AM Dandy graduated from Berklee College of Music with many notable mentors. How have these inspirations/mentors made an impact on your music, and how did they help you define your sound? Definitely they had a remarkable influence on me. But more in general than specifically regarding this EP. I would say you will be able to really feel that on the studio album of AM Dandy & the Elements, that we are actually mixing. There is for example even a tune dedicated to one of my first mentors at Berklee, Mick Goodrick, called "Mighty Mick". But all the new compositions are also partially the synthesis of my Berklee experience, where I had the honour to learn from some of the greatest guitarists today such as Tim Miller, Bobby Stanton, David Tronzo, Jim Kelly, Joe Stump, and many others.  What can we expect from you throughout 2020? I started with a single titled "I Couldn't" and this EP, both on all the streaming platforms, but since the delicate moment is forbidding us to play shows we've spent quite a lot in the studio, recording new material. Soon we will release a Live Album we recorded at the Red Room in Boston, our last show at Berklee; the single "Walking on Clouds"; the studio album with AM Dandy & the Elements and the debut album with the Thunderpets; but there are at least other three or four singles I will release along this year, with some very cool guests. So stay tuned! And keep an eye on amdandy.com and amdandymusic on Instagram to never miss even a thing instagram.com/amdandymusic #BUZZMUSIC

Constructing rhymes that the listener can relate to and appreciate is what our next spotlight artist: SavageRaww strives to do when creating fresh content. Coming to us from Las Vegas, Nevada, Savage has been bestowing his high octave creations and motivational artistical style to the local music scene, and they are taking notice. His tracks have garnered local awards from music showcases, and his heavy-hitting single 'Beat Me' (prod. J. Cardenas) is set to be featured in an upcoming boxing film called 'Get Up Joe.' Never letting his mind settle, SavageRaww is continually strategizing how to implement and tackle even bigger aspirations and goals. It's this 'go-getter' attitude that is artistically reflected in his craft. SavageRaww wants his music to reflect his prowess, he wants his energy to be heard and seen by his listeners, and his edgy delivery is how he can accomplish gaining notoriety and attention. His years spent on the football field have formed positive attributes that have given him the confidence and determination to move forward with a friendly and positive stance he infuses into his art. Currently working on his next studio release, Savage has his sound set on a touchdown. Discover "Flexxing" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic SavageRaww! We are loving the vibe you created in “Flexing”, what was it like to work with GibboBeats? What was that whole process like? How did the two of you come to meet? Crazy to I have yet to meet GibboBeats, I would love to meet with such a great producer just to be able to connect on a different level. I stumbled on his production shopping around for new beats and there's always that something that sticks out while your shopping for anything and you tell yourself I need that whatever that is. That's how I felt when I came across his instrumental I needed it instantly. We couldn’t help but feel that “Flexxing” is about you hustling past all the fake people, was this what the song means to you? How did you come up with the concept behind this one? Flexxing is hustling past the fake and unoriginal   " I'm the bun with the Sesame seeds, You that sloppy a** bun from the dollar menu" basically I'm the real deal and your just a carbon copy. we not flexxing cars and jewelry, its more of a flex your muscle, if you know what your great at and nobody can tell you otherwise then let the world see it, flex your muscle and let your light shine and trust there will be plenty of haters on the way just stay focus, Since your release “Beat Me”, how do you feel you have grown as an artist? Did you ever feel when creating your music that sometimes ideas were not the right direction? How do you decide what ideas to go with? "Beat Me" was released for an upcoming movie called 'Get Up Joe'  but due to unfortunate circumstances the producer Deandre Robinson has passed away (R.I.P) and the song is now only featured in the short film on Amazon but since that release, I have grown a lot in the music aspect and the business aspect of my career, learning more about sync licensing, and being more creative with my voice as an artist. I don't ever think an idea is going down the wrong direction, I believe it may have been wrong timing when you think of marketing-wise, but any idea that I have known to put on paper always was coming from the heart so it does not feel forced. Your heart and mind speak to you but sometimes as humans, we are hard at listening especially when it is ourself talking. But ideas never go in the wrong direction just presented at the wrong time. Being from Las Vegas, what are some ways you try to stick out from the hip-hop scene there? Do you have any future goals for yourself that you are striving to achieve? By being that positive outlook for the city, there is a lot to distract us as an artist in Vegas from the lights of the casinos to the critics on social media, while everybody is usually stuck on distractions you might catch a post from me on social media trying to pull people out of it and back focused into something greater. One of my biggest goals I'm working on is being the gate opener for the city, there is great talent in Vegas and it needs to be seen, if I can grow and make it to a point to where I can show the greatness of the city then I will. Is there anything going on with you for 2020? The only thing I'm really focused on this year is keeping me and my family safe and out of harm's way and I hope my followers and followers of BuzzMusic are doing the same. facebook.com/RawwMusik instagram.com/SavageRaww twitter.com/SavageRawwmusik #BUZZMUSIC

We cannot wait to hear what firestorm he unleashes next. Discover "Back To You" here. Hi Slique! We’re happy to have you here on BuzzMusic. We know you’ve had a passion for music since the age of 5 when you started playing the piano. Where do you think this passion comes from? What drove you to take it on as a career? It definitely came from being around the church choir as a kid. That’s where I first laid my hands on a piano key. I’d say what drove me to take this serious was others seeing my potential before myself. We really enjoyed listening to your album, “Back To You”. What can you say about the inspiration for the album as a whole? Was there any artist who influenced you or subjects you touched on that define the overall vibe? Inspiration for the album as a whole was basically off of things I went through at the moment. Artist, I would say influenced the vibe overall would be drake and Bryson tiller. Those are the guys I look up to the most. Do you have a favorite song off the album? Why does this one, in particular, speak to you and what’s the meaning behind it? One of my favorite tracks would have to be “ice cold”. Nowadays people you’d least expect turn on you and which kinda leaves you a little cold-hearted. With what I been going through I could definitely relate to that. Do you have any ultimate goals as an artist? Are any of these being put into place in the near future? The main goal as an artist is just to grow & build a strong brand tbh. Kinda want to have a selection of singles that start a movement or new wave if that makes sense. What's next for you? As far as what’s next, I’m just gonna keep the consistency going and drop some heat singles until the next project. instagram.com/sliqueofl twitter.com/sliquepapii #BUZZMUSIC

He has been known to draw from personal experiences as inspiration for his lyrics, making his music easy to relate to. Fans can step into his shoes and feel the emotions he was feeling during his songwriting processes.

With his warm vocals and meaningful lyrics, AyeJay Freez has no problem adhering to the emotional sides of fans. Thanks to the refreshing blend of his songwriting and vocal talents, his effort and soul are evident in every song. Listen to “Catch 22” here. Hey AyeJay Freez, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re loving the real and authentic lyrics you provide towards the hardships of love with your single “Catch22”. When did you realize that you had to take these emotions to the next step and create “Catch22’? Hey! Thanks for having me again! I was really going through it mentally at the time and  I went through a phase where I just said how I felt. Like no matter what the beat was, fast or slow I just had to let the things on my mind out or I could of ended up in a bad spot, ya know? Speaking on your single “Catch22”, AyeJay Freez highlights such pure lyrics of troubled love that many can relate to. Could you share how AyeJay Freez crafted the lyrics on “Catch22”, and how you wanted your message to be perceived? The creative process for catch22 was a bit different for me. I feel like I was aiming to reach people on a different level, I really wanted to give the people who’ve been rocking with me a record that they can relate to on a personal level as well as kind of making myself vulnerable for the first time on a track without for real considering how it may look to some. I really just want it to be received as genuine, of course, I want it to be a bop but this was more for the way it makes you feel inside. Seeing as AyeJay Freez incorporates such a flawless and finely-calibrated approach to music, you clearly have some iconic inspirations that helped you narrow down what you were aiming for. Who are some major musical influences that may have had an impact on your sound and who you are as an artist? I can’t express enough gratitude for the kind words! Growing up I was into R&b heavyyy but as I got to experience life I fell in love with rap music. So when I hear an instrumental my mind can jump from an Usher vibe to a Tunechi vibe without even second-guessing it haha. I feel like I was exposed to such a vast amount of Music, genres, and artists throughout life that I mesh them together in my own way when I create. We’ve heard that AyeJay Freez is coming back from your recent mixtape “#2kthegoat” in 2019. Could you speak on why you wanted to release “Catch22” after the project, rather than any other track you’ve been working on? Choosing which single to release first was honestly really tough. I had played the three records I had narrowed down for my team and couldn’t really get enough votes for a single record or to even knock it down to two. It took weeks to be completely committed to a record before we could even begin to schedule a release. Oddly enough one of the people who helped inspire the record started getting pretty adamant about me making catch22 the single we revisited the records and decided it’d be one we released first. What's next for you? At the moment I’m in the early production stages for the visual to Catch22. I’ve been in talks with my team about a possible visualizer since Covid-19 has everything at a standstill, hopefully, that can be a play. My next single is titled “Nosebleeds” and that should be dropping next month I believe, I’m mad hype for that one to drop. But in the mean time I’ll be trying to maximize exposure and continue to take advantage of the blessings being placed in front of me. Thanks for having me again, it’s always real! lgcent.com/artists#ayejay-freez twitter.com/ayejayfreez instagram.com/ayejayfreez #BUZZMUSIC

Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, RUNOFFBROKE is creating fast-paced rhymes clotted in dark humor and clever punch lines. On his latest release "Family," the track begins with a repetitive tone reverberating on your stereo, which explodes when RUNOFFBROKE enters the soundscape spouting his signature quick rhymes. Ticking percussion fuels the background to create an air of prowess. RUNNOFFBROKE's ability to flow between different tempos on "Family", is a showcase of this rapper's true talents. He can slow down his rhymes to create a shadow of darkness over the listener or his consistent, unwavering flow can stimulate the listener's senses to create an eruption of energy. "Family" encompasses gritty and infamous verses such as: "I can see life can be different, I can see life can be cruel", "I can escape where I'm living", "Called my mom, to tell her I bought her a car", "Father been watching me sell out (explicit) shows", "Sister been watching the cash coming in through the door", which tell the story of an artist working tirelessly through the hassle to elevate his family's presence. We have no doubt this provocative artist will not elevate is own existence but any that may be so privileged to share family bonds. You can find "Family" here. Hello  RUNNOFFBROKE, and welcome to BuzzMusic. You have been so busy releasing tracks that its great to touch base on your newest release "Family". Can you tell us a bit about this track and the meaning behind it? That track is all about bettering myself for the future and becoming the artist I want to be, I felt like I’d put this off for too long and that my family can now see the differences in me. From being constantly stuck in the rinse and repeat of getting fucked up to constantly working on tracks, it’s definitely something they’re proud to see, and I’m proud of it myself, so I wanted to highlight that in this song. "Family" really puts your devotion to your family front and center, has your family had a driving force effect on your music? Definitely! My father achieved his dream of becoming a radio presenter back in the day, and that’s always been a drive for me showing me I can do this shit, I have the most supportive family in the world they have always inspired me to make music and pushed me in the right directions in life. So I thought I’d thank them for it in more than just some quick words in person. This song is me showing I want to constantly better myself for them. What does the creative process look like for you? How do you channel your thoughts and put them into free-flowing rhymes? It’s just a thing that’s become second nature to me by now, after years of doing this it doesn’t take much more than a few hours for us to make a song, but mostly it’s just about figuring out what your chorus is first and basing your song off of that. Using a chorus is perfect cause it’s quick and sweet and you don’t need to have this fucking deep never-ending thought about what it’s gonna be. It just happens there and then and once you can relate to it you can write lyrics that follow suit pretty easily! Who are some of your musical influences you feel have had an impact on creating your own sound? Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, Chris webby, and recently Jack Harlow. A lot of odd future old kid Cudi stuff too when I was a kid really made me want to be in their shoes and do the stuff they do for a day! I know NINETY7HERTZ feels the same about a lot of those artists also when it comes to his beats but he loves ASAP MOB and underground trap like wretchy p and the likes of him, that’s where you can really hear his influences. What's next for you? We have tracks on tracks on tracks coming out so we have a lot to do, RUNOFFBROKE will be a household name someday. What I really think is next for us is finishing up as many songs as we can before this COVID shit ends, and then doing as many shows as is humanely possible. We’re in this for life so there’s no going back now, instagram.com/RUNOFFBROKE facebook.com/runoffbroke #BUZZMUSIC

Welcome to BuzzMusic Adversity! Could you describe the creative process of “Check” and your collaboration with producer Will Stenson? Truthfully, with Check I just wanted to be a little more playful both lyrically and conceptually. I managed to get off the bars and punchlines that my fans are accustomed to hearing in my music - while at the same time adding braggadocios twist that hadn’t been heard out of me before. Will Stenson is my guy, we’ve been working together for a while he’s produced previous tracks of mine such as Issue, Rara, and a lot of my latest EP, “BOA” to name a few. The chemistry is there between us which makes the creative process a lot easier for us. It is clear that music and rapping have always been an important part of your life. What made you decide to pursue a career in music? Music was always an important part of my life for sure, I was always listening to music from a bunch of different genres but mostly hip/hop and r&b. From a young age I wrote poetry but I didn’t ever think that I myself could be a hip-hop artist, until I thought it through and tried, now we're here. There were a lot of different reasons and factors that played a role in me deciding to pursue this as a career, but it all stems from the love I have for the music itself as well as the art form of rapping/emceeing. I was always intrigued by music and what goes into creating it, so once I formulated a game-plan and start honing in on my pen game - it all started to develop from there. We were truly inspired by the motivational lyrics of “Check.” Can you describe the message within your lyrics for “Check?” The message here was basically that as you progress it’s important to stay humble but at the same time, acknowledge what you’ve accomplished and allowed that to fuel you to grow even more (taking a second to rightfully boast). Anyone who is coming up in the music industry knows that a dollar doesn’t come easy. After what he’s done up to this point - Adversity feels that he is deserving of a big Check (i don’t f*** around so just gimme the Check $$$). While you were focusing on your music career you also obtained your BSBA degree in business management at the University of Hartford. How did this experience shape you as a person and an artist? My experience at UHart gave me the tools to formulate a proper plan to turn my passion into reality. Going into my collegiate experience, I understood that it takes more than talent to do this at a high level. With that being said, it was important to me that my educational background helped me elevate myself as a professional in this career all while growing and developing as both an artist and a person at the same time. I also met so many people there that became people I would go on to work with, friends, and/or fans of my music and for that, I’ll always be appreciative of my time there. What can we expect to see from you throughout the rest of 2020? You guys can expect to see a lot more content from me for the foreseeable future. New music, visuals, and more - I am in the mindset where I am just expanding my catalog and making as much high-quality music as I can to put out for my fans to enjoy and share with the people they are close to. If you are reading this now, I hope that you become a fan/follow me to see where this journey is headed next - #AdversitySzn instagram.com/adversity627 facebook.com/Adversity627 twitter.com/Adversity627 #BUZZMUSIC
