We put a lot of work into this record, Chase Bankz, Nizzereo and myself have been working on the “Ancient Flows” album since the end of 2018 being honest, and so getting this single out was a priority of ours so that we can finally get it going with our project, I’m very excited for the album!

Yes for sure, I am to drop an EP of possible soon before the album drop but I have to really coordinate that in with my single drop, so I just revealed a few things in the works for the coming months into the end of the year. If you could collaborate with any artist who would it be?  ANY artist? I feel like every artist will say their favorites too. Haha, I’m gonna do the same and Lil Wayne, Moneyman, Drake, or 50 Cent.

Coming from Toronto, Canada, singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Flores releases his emotionally-rich single "Alone." Grasping inspiration from a variety of sounds and genres, Ryan Flores crafts his songs to carry simple yet heartfelt emotion through blissful melodies. While working on his debut album "Introspective" set to release late summer 2020, Ryan Flores drops the first single being "Alone." The single features Ryan Flores' soft and ethereal vocals, while he evens out "Alone" with lush acoustic guitar and piano. All to highlight the song's message of reflecting on a broken relationship and healing yourself with more than just time. "Alone" opens with timeless and soft acoustic guitar picking, giving off a sweet-sounding melody that enhances Ryan Flores' message. As he begins to sing his sorrows of wanting to change the way things are, we can't help but find peace within these vocals and resonate with the feelings of loneliness, especially now. While moving into the chorus, Ryan Flores adds calming piano chords bringing "Alone" a wide variety of instrumental emotion. Not to mention Ryan Flores' talented vocals and beautiful melisma, he clearly understands how to get his message across at its maximum capacity. Through fine-tuned production, instrumentals, and vocals, Ryan Flores' "Alone" is keeping us sane. You can listen to "Alone" here. Hey Ryan Flores, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re loving the soft approach and heartfelt emotion that you’ve tied in on “Alone”. Why did you want to release a track that speaks on healing and reflecting? With “Alone”, I wanted to show a different side of me. A side that not many people see and is usually confined within the walls of my bedroom. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life, and we tend to focus on and share a lot of the great, happy moments we experience. But it’s also important to reflect upon and acknowledge those times when things weren’t so great. It’s those experiences that encourage us to deeply reflect on ourselves, and how we can grow from them and emerge even stronger than before. I typically turn to songwriting as a form of therapy when I’m feeling lost, sad, or frustrated. “Alone” was written during a rough time in my life. It was only after I committed my thoughts to paper and after a period of deep reflection that I came to terms with what was happening and moved on from it. I hope “Alone” serves as a reminder and an indication that everyone goes through different situations in life, and the way we deal with things varies between us. Some may choose to face things head-on. Some may choose to hide their feelings. Some may choose to show them. Some will avoid them. At the end of the day, it’s important to take that time to reflect and to realize that anyone and everyone go through situations where they feel alone. I really put my heart on my sleeve for this one, and I hope it resonates with listeners. Within your single “Alone”, Ryan Flores sings passionately about moving forward for the better. Could you share how your songwriting process went about when navigating through lyrics that would fit “Alone” best? This song draws inspiration from a time when I was going through something that really affected me mentally, physically, and emotionally. I was very emotional and wanted to focus my energy on something productive. So I picked up my guitar, opened up the Notes app on my phone, and started writing down a bunch of words and sentences that were on my mind at the time. My goal was to just be very honest with myself and with my feelings. No sugarcoating, no hiding. I reflected upon what had happened, what I was feeling, what I was doing to cope, and what I wanted to do to move on. I then picked up my guitar and started noodling around. I remember listening to a few acoustic songs by Tori Kelly that night, who by the way is one of my inspirations for singing and songwriting. There’s one song she has called “Beautiful Things” that really influenced how the guitar part for “Alone” came together. After refining the guitar part and re-arranging all the words and sentences I wrote down, “Alone” was born. It was unlike anything I had written or released before, which was typically more upbeat, happy, and very pop sounding. “Alone” was different, but very true and relevant to what I was going through at the time I wrote it. In terms of my songwriting process as a whole, what I do when I finish writing a song is that I let it “sit on the shelf” for at least a year, meaning I don’t come back to it, listen to it or play it for that amount of time. If after a year I still love the song after one listen, it then becomes a candidate for release. We’ve noticed that Ryan Flores has quite the discography ranging back to 2012. How has your music changed since then, or evolved over time? I started out with just acoustic guitar and vocals because that’s all I really had back when I started. In the years following, I’ve learned a lot about songwriting, production, and the music business, which in many ways has influenced the way I approach my own songs. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet and work with other artists, musicians, and producers who have helped to shape my writing and my sound to what it is currently. Certainly, my sound has evolved into something that sounds more full and refined, and not amateurish, haha! But the core of my sound and my music will always remain. That core is driven and inspired by my acoustic guitar, pop and R&B music from the late 90s and early 2000s, and music by early YouTube artists. It’s a sound that I love and I don’t find as much in the current music scene. But it’s a sound that is so true to me and my roots. We’ve heard that Ryan Flores is releasing his debut album “Introspective” in late summer 2020. Could you give our readers a glimpse of what we might hear on your upcoming debut album? “Introspective” builds upon the stories and feelings I established in my first EP “Wayfarer”. It contains a brand new collection of unreleased songs that resulted from silent and solo introspection over the highs and lows, the simple and complex, the laughs and cries, and the satisfaction and stresses of life. You’ll experience a roller coaster of emotions as you listen from top to bottom. Threaded throughout are honest lyrics, real stories, captivating harmonies, and catchy choruses. There are tracks that you’ll want to blast on a nice sunny day and tracks that you’ll probably play in your bedroom as you look out your window in deep reflection. Sonically, it’s a mix of acoustic pop and R&B, heavily influenced by the pop and R&B music of the late 90s and early 2000s. Songwriting wise, it’s inspired by my own personal life experiences and encounters I’ve had with various people in the last 5 years or so. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? Apart from releasing “Introspective”, I have another side project that I’m working on called KWNTO Sounds that I started earlier this year. One of the things I’m doing as part of this project is curating playlists on Spotify and Apple Music. The goal of these playlists is to highlight smaller, independent, or undiscovered artists. There is one playlist I curate monthly called SIDETRACKS which features hand-picked new pop and R&B releases. I also work alongside a small team of music curators to curate playlists based on genre, themes or moods. In total, we have 14 published playlists, with more to come later this year. As much as I love creating and writing my own music, I’m also very passionate about sharing great music by smaller artists for the world to hear. A lot of focus is put on the bigger artists these days, so my goal is to provide a platform for those smaller, independent artists who are just as deserving. We have a few more ideas coming down the road to help shine the spotlight on these artists, and I’m excited to roll them out. Follow @kwntosounds on Instagram and visit kwntosounds.com to stay updated. Aside from that, I’ve also started compiling and writing some new material for a potential next album. It’s still in the preliminary stages but I’m excited at the prospect of sharing even more songs from my catalog. instagram.com/ryanrgflores facebook.com/ryanfloresmusic twitter.com/ryanrgflores #BUZZMUSIC

Ute recently released her enchanting new single "Happiness Together," and we are absolutely in love with this one. From the moment "Happiness Together" begins, we are brought to a colorful world full of the best moments of life. Ute took us by the hand and showed us everything that there is to see. We saw clear blue skies, a never-ending green prairie, and a rustic town that Ute would sing "Happiness Together" in. Music for Ute is all about forgetting about the sorrows and only feeling the good times, which is precisely what we had gotten out of "Happiness Together." While listening to "Happiness Together, it was nearly impossible to stop smiling and slowly sway side to side to the music being created. Aside from the beauty in this one, Ute shows off her melody writing skills and completely lifts us in the chorus by switching to a silky smooth melody that perfectly contrasts the deeper intimate side of her voice. "Happiness Together" features Ute's classic delicately intimate vocals, silky sweet strings that beautifully compliment her voice, a modern hybrid of an acoustic and electronic drum kit playing a delicate waltz, a melodic, moving bass, and sparkly acoustic guitars. We were incredibly happy while listening to this one and can't wait to hear what is next to come from Ute. Fall in love with “Happiness Together” here. instagram.com/ute.world #BUZZMUSIC

We're immediately introduced to an RnB inspired guitar riff, which sets the tone to Liam Craig's fresh release "Runaway." Hailing from Northern England, Liam brings a soulful RnB influenced approach to his music, pulling from the pages of his own experience in music, relationships, and growing up in a city that raised him. A song that takes us through an alley in life, we've all been down feeling uncertain. Needing a refresh of scenery, and a new local barstool, just as Liam sings "I can't lie, I've been contemplating life from the living room," now more than ever, as we sit in our living rooms (locked in) do these lyrics resonate with SO many. Liam's voice has a kind, smooth texture that is so refreshing in an RnB track. He has a genuinely expressive voice that encompasses a keen croon, a melting falsetto, and we get a hint of his cheeky over the pond accent when he gets playful and runs along with the lyrics. You will find your self nodding along with the ticking percussion and free-flowing lyrics; a true testament to a song is what affect it has on the body; "Runaway" is a positive body experience. Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of Liam Craig’s latest hit “Runway,” listen here. Hi Liam, welcome to BuzzMusic! We are so excited about your new track “Runaway”. How are you feeling about the finished product and that it's now available for listeners everywhere? So its been long overdue me releasing music, and I'm excited to start putting it out there after so long, had an amazing response to the track so far -it's very humbling. How does the songwriting process start for you? Where do you go to draw on inspiration? My songwriting process is different all the time, sometimes I have a bunch of ideas that I want to write about - and depends on the vibe of the day, but I'm a melody man so it usually grows from a few chords and kind of writes itself. What kind of music community do you create for yourself to stay connected with other artists? Is there a particular artist that has influenced your sound? I travel and write with people all over the world from -London to Nashville, Preston, and the more I travel and connect the bigger music community I seem to have around me - networking is key and when you write songs with people you get a sort of connection you don't get anywhere else, you end up becoming friends with people you would never really come across in normal life. My musical influence comes from everywhere/everyone to be honest Right now its got to be Jessie Reyez, Daniel Ceasear, Bruno Major, Mac Miller, Anderson Paak, but I could have a list that goes on forever - as its ever-changing. You said you draw a lot of your life experiences to transpose into your songwriting. What were you feeling when you wrote “Runaway” Yeah, I like to draw from experiences that I've lived or am seeing, Runaway was inspired by the whole situation with quarantine and how i / everyone is coping being stuck indoors. I reached out to people I have met all over the world doing music and asked them to send me a short clip of what they are doing to keep occupied. I wanted it to be feel good and put a smile on people faces that otherwise might be down during this time (see music video) What can fans anticipate next from you, Liam? I have a bunch of singles ready to go and an Albums worth of songs, so you can expect more music and more live videos. And of course, more gigs when I'm able to do so... instagram.com/craigliammusic twitter.com/CraigLiamMusic #BUZZMUSIC

Being involved within the music scene for as long as Jai Fears has been, you can already guarantee she's picked up various influences and wisdom to create the very performer she is today. We're impressed by the persona of Jai Fears. She began her early music life touring as a backup dancer but now finds herself in the main spotlight as she emerges as a solo artist. The product listeners receive very reminiscently of her robust energy, and the exact visuals offered to listeners capture the attitude and zest Jai Fears has to bring to her music. You can't expect to get singular energy from Jai Fears, as she's eclectic about the type of energy she has to offer to listeners. There's nothing mundane about the music of Jai Fears, and her latest single, "Gemini," proves this to be incredibly real. We get a real and authentic Hip/Hop vibe with Jai Fears in "Gemini." Jai Fears takes the opportunity to exploit the range of her vocals well within the track. Right from the start, you can easily hear that Jai Fears offered a serious old-school take on the Hip/Hop scene that brings such a sense of flair. We get so many characteristics from Jai Fears, and honestly, she's always been that kind of multi-faceted artist, but "Gemini" is what solidified her eccentrics. "Gemini" is a whole performance from Jai Fears, and she proves through the songs music video that she genuinely is the performer to be watching. We get funk, glamour, and an overall catchy vibe with Jai Fears, and here's hoping her future music contains just as much vitality as "Gemini." Listen to Jai Fears in her latest single "Gemini" here. Welcome, Jai Fears! Congrats on releasing "Gemini", yet another single under yourself as a solo artist! How do you feel the track came to fruition? Were there any hopes you had once releasing this particular song? Time and time again I would tell someone I'm a Gemini and almost 95% of the time I would get a negative response. I know it's past due to have a song that lifts us up in a good light. Gemini is also the name of the EP that I'm working on so I had to have a title track for it too. If anything I hope people learn more about Gemini's and see that we're not so bad lol and for Gemini's to unite across the globe and see how many great Gemini's there are out there. It's undoubtfully true that your music contains more than just one kind of genre style. How would you expand on describing your natural style regarding music? Are there any styles you're prone to navigating towards more than others? It's best to describe my music the only way I know how and that's me being a Gemini and having 2 sides and types of music I like to sing. I have an upbeat dance energetic side and I also have a chill side where I sing songs about awarenesses love and chillin and having fun. Your presence in the music video for "Gemini" perfectly grasped the vitality we felt the song have. Considering the current times, were there any challenges you faced recording the music video at your personal home? Just the typical challenges of not having a full crew, having dancers and people that I intended to be in the video originally. I also had to come up with a wardrobe from my closet, couldn't hire a stylist or go out and buy anything. I had to do my own hair and makeup which I was very nervous about that was a first. Trying to come up with a concept when it's just you wasn't the easiest either but we figured it out the best we could lol. So yeah just a few challenges nothing major lol. Being as experienced as you are within the music scene, what are some pivotal pieces of wisdom you've come across that you've applied to your current sounding now? I always stay true to myself which is something I struggled with for some time. I've been told to look and sound a certain way for so long I didn't even know who I was for most of my adult life and I think a lot of us as artists go through this, always told to go with the trend or do this to go viral. Forget all that. Stick to what's in your heart, stick to your message and brand no matter how ''different'' it sounds. Majority of successful artists when they emerged sounded completely different from what the trend was at that time. instagram.com/jaifears twitter.com/JaiFears youtube.com/Jaifears #BUZZMUSIC

Brett Copeland can be described as merely being the epitome of an authentic Rock and Roll artist. Over the years of Brett’s career, he has worked with some of the biggest producers in the world that include Roy Thomas Baker, Dave Jerden, and Val Garay. After writing and recording multiple bands in LA, Brett decided to take his skills to another level and begin working on solo work. Now leading to his latest single “Lasso The Stars,” and it is precisely what you would be hoping in a Rock and Roll tune. “Lasso The Stars” has everything you need for a killer tune, it’s got the iconic riffing guitars, the thundering drums, a deep grimey bass, and a perfectly edgy vocal that holds your attention from the start. The carefree attitude of Lasso The Stars” has us wanting to break the rules and do the impossible. “Lasso The Stars” begins with a soft little ethereal synth texture before completely exploding with energy when the verse hits, and when it hits, it will feel like a train going full speed. The adrenaline rush we get from this tune is just off the charts. We are genuinely excited about Brett’s debut EP to come out this spring. You can rock out to “Lasso The Stars” here. Hello Brett Copeland! Welcome to BuzzMusic! We cannot get enough of your high-intensity release “Lasso The Stars”! What was the initial inspiration for coming up with the carefree themes and lyrics? How did you write this song? Was it a singer/songwriter acoustic guitar voice song? Hi, Thank you for having me. I love BuzzMusic and I am really glad you like the song. The initial inspiration for "Lasso The Stars" was and still is - my wife. I wrote this song for her. She makes me feel like truly anything is possible - even when things are really bad or difficult. The song is about sticking together no matter how hard things get, and not being afraid to start over, together, with a fresh, hopeful and limitless attitude.  I actually wrote the song on a bass. The lyrics and melodies flowed out like they had already been written.  The production of this release shows off your musicality and attention to detail. What was the recording process like for this? How did you choose which players would be the right ones to play on the record? Did you face any challenges during the recording? The recording process was incredibly smooth. I showed the song to my friends Ramon Blanco, the lead guitar player in Grandson, Daniel Curcio - the bass player for Palaye Royale, and Richard Bradley - the drummer for Dead Posey. They loved it and accepted my invitation to play on it. They are true professionals and consummate gentleman so the actual recording process was seamless. My friend Chad Shlosser works out of Matt Sorum's ( Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses and The Cult)  studio "Drac Studios" in Los Angeles.  The studio is very vibey, and there is a lot of history in there. Chad and I produced it together, and Chad engineered and mixed it.  He and I have worked together for years, so it was fun and easy. We laid down all the instruments except for my acoustic guitar and vocals in one day. It was a special day for me because it was also my birthday. It’s definitely exciting to have worked with some top of the line producers, what was that experience like? Did you ever feel overwhelmed in the work that you were doing? What about now with your solo music? I have been fortunate to work with a handful of some of the greatest and most renowned producers of all time. Some REALLY big names. The experiences are all similar - surprisingly casual, creative, and quirky. They all have their secrets and tricks and always ask me not to share them with anyone. They are also very, very passionate - like myself, about what they do and how they do it. There is also usually a subtle element of compromise involved on both sides.  Do I ever feel overwhelmed working with A-list producers in the studio?  I thrive in live settings, and I used to feel overwhelmed and stagnant in the studio, but I realized it was only because I was not yet "ready". So I put in extra work, and - instead of dreading the studio, I now look forward to it. I also learned logic and started most of the pre-production and instrumentation myself. That way it gives me a little more creative control over the concept and sounds and arrangements. Especially now that I am working as a solo artist/producer.  It's better for me to show them what I am going for in a recording rather than try to explain it in words and waste time in the studio and risk sacrificing my vision.   It must really feel special to come out with a debut record, how does it feel to grow from working on other peoples works to your own? Did you have to overcome anything to mentally make it happen? It's more like a debut set of singles destined to be a part of a debut album. Doing my own thing feels really special, and yet odd. But less odd as time transpires.  This debut material is all mine and I get to take full responsibility for it. When I was in bands, even if the song was all my own idea, there is so much compromise and so many different opinions and artistic needs, that things can get really muddled and off-course. You have to respect your bandmate's needs as artists, and in doing that, I felt like it was a massive struggle and I was constantly losing personal authenticity. Everyone has their own style and ideas and needs as an artist - and musicians...we are all very sensitive. You can lose a bandmate and a friend forever over an argument over a chord progression or a minor vs major chord. There were things, however, mentally - that I did have to overcome. The issue for me is - I am a band guy to a fault. I love bands. I love a "team" environment and collaboration. But there were just too many difficulties and differences of opinions, and the constant compromises began to really weigh on me. Now, for instance, when I recorded these songs, Daniel and Ramon and Richard - they did what they could to support my vision, and yet they are so brilliant, they still contributed their own magic and style without compromising my vision. Another thing to overcome was going by "Brett Copeland". I fought that for a long time.  I had been in so many bands for so long, it just did not make sense. It felt wrong.  I have come to terms with it, though. Behind me are some great times and experiences. And yet, also behind me, there is a lot of wasted time and energy, and a lot of deleted band Instagram accounts. When a band breaks up, even if you are still friends, the music and songs - in my opinion, are pretty much lost. But now, there is no more "breaking up" - It's me, and it's always going to be me, so the song catalog will always be something I can take with me. I have so many songs, and I don't have to ask permission or haggle with a bandmate over whether or not I am going to record them. I still collaborate with my friends - but there is a lot less stress and commitment. It's fun and cathartic now as a solo artist. Things have become much easier. instagram.com/brettcopeland facebook.com/brettcopelandmusic brettcopeland.com #BUZZMUSIC

Harmonic pulses of electric pop is what Lex serves her listeners, and the city that never sleeps is the backdrop to her invigorating fresh sound. At the young age of 14, Lex was writing her own lyrics and creating her melodies, pulling from life’s book of stories as her narrative. Lex is an artist that focusses on emotionally captivating the listener; she pens lyrics the listener can appreciate and relate to; the songs originate from her heart. Lex infuses originality in her craft, not scared to bend a genre and create a fresh product- exploring the sound and harmony is one of Lex’s ever-clear strengths. Originally from Sacramento, California, this west coast transplant has burrowed into New York City to further her musical career and let the city inspire her, making it unravel and reveal original perspectives that she translates and flows into her carefully crafted lyrics and melodies. Connecting with her audience is a passion, and showcasing her sound in front of fellow New Yorkers is something Lex is very passionate about. Preforming her beautiful creations for fellow listeners is quickly garnering Lex much deserved praise and attention; this emerging artist is destined to leave her mark on the music scene. Fall in love with "We'll Be Alright" here. Hey Lex, welcome to BuzzMusic! We really enjoyed the soulful ride “We’ll Be Alright” took us on. Could you share where Lex found initial inspiration for writing the hopeful single? Thank you so much for having me! I’m sure everyone is sick and tired of hearing about COVID-19, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t write it during this time. I got really sick and I was isolated in my little apartment in Queens for a while, and I felt so lonely. I could tell some of my family and friends weren’t feeling so great either. That’s when I was inspired to sit down and write this song. I knew it would take my mind off everything that was going on, and ultimately I was so consumed by it that it did. Your single “We’ll Be Alright” surrounds well-crafted uplifting lyrics and exhilarating production. Could you elaborate on the overall message Lex wanted her audience to take away from “We’ll Be Alright”? My goal with this was to help others feel better. I wanted to give an uplifting message to everyone that everything was going to be okay. The reality is that even after this is all over, things are not going to bounce right back to the way they were. It’s going to feel strange. But we are going to make it through this because I believe we are all resilient. We’ve heard that Lex strives to create music that inspires and emotionally captivates listeners. Could you expand on your creative process, and how you channel relatable messages that can resonate with almost anyone? When I write a song, I write how I’m feeling at the moment. It’s very cathartic actually. I really try to get to the point when it comes to my lyrics, almost as if I was saying them out loud to someone else. It helps me feel like I’m being heard and understood even if no one is there. I believe that’s what we all want: to be understood. We’ve all experienced feelings of sadness, loneliness, love, happiness, etc. and I want others to know that they are not alone. I’ve been there too. It’s completely normal to feel those feelings, no matter how crazy they might seem. Seeing as Lex is known to be very genre-blending, your recent single “We’ll Be Alright” surrounds more of a pop-infused feel. Could you share what we might hear from your future releases in terms of genre experimentation? Yes, I tried to go very electro-pop with this one! I really wanted it to have a positive sound. The next song I might release has definitely more of an indie vibe to it. It’s quite a sad song actually. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? Now that I’m starting to produce myself, I definitely want to keep learning new things and releasing new music as much as I can in as many different styles as I can. I love exploring new instruments and being inspired by new artists. Once this quarantine is over, I definitely want to collaborate with other artists and keep performing! facebook.com/itsalexisyortiz instagram.com/thisislexmusic #BUZZMUSIC
