The young Flordia native, Josh Gluck, has been invested in expanding his sound from a young age. With extensive experience through his education, and comprehensive study of some of his greatest inspirations like Anderson Paak, and John Mayor, he is anticipated to brandish his own trademark of soul and inject it into the alternative music scene. Written and produced by himself, "Like Fire", is a testament to this authentically branded sound. The warm tonality of an analog era creeps through on Josh Gluck's "Like Fire", a sultry, fuzzed-out medium-burner that sounds like a cut from your favorite vinyl record. "Why break bones if you're only going to run through", the Florida native croons. Gluck's soprano is dedicated to enticing, inviting you to live in another's world for a few seconds through his lyrics. Snatches of clear and concise guitar hooks pierce the floating-like yet focused rhythm section. "Like Fire" embraces the same authentic glamour and laid back vibes of past great alternative songs coming out of the east coast. This tune is uplifting and full-hearted, bursting with emphatic vocal performances and reassurances, lathered in soulful warmth. It gently tucks you into a comfortable listening experience, bending and winding down an intrinsic tunnel decorated with well-defined, unsalted guitar solos and re-occurring motifs. Every box is colored perfectly, so to speak, lending this composition a great sense of space. It's hitting all the right notes in our heartstrings. Listen to "Like Fire" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Josh! We're entirely invested in your sound--you have such a sweet and warming demeanor throughout your music. What did the creative process look like for "Like Fire"? Is there anything definitive about this composition that stands out to you? Thanks so much for those kind words! Some songs I've written have taken weeks and sometimes months to come to a finish. "Like Fire" was different. It came to life really in a short burst of inspiration. The bulk of was written outside in my backyard. It was one of those writing sessions where you almost kind of blackout during and then you realize you have a song when you come to. That being said, it was a really therapeutic experience writing this song. I heard a quote a while back that goes something along the lines of, "The only thing permanent is change". That quote really sparked a lot for me and truly aligns with where we're all at during this coronavirus. Even something as difficult as this will pass. It's up to us to change with it. We know you are a self-taught, multi-instrumentalist musician and producer. Which instrument broke the ice for you, so to speak? How did you develop into other instruments from there on? Guitar was my first instrument. It opened up a world for me that I never knew existed. It taught me how to speak in a new language. From there, learning other instruments was like learning how to speak in that language but with a different voice. Do you think you have grown as an artist and songwriter since you first started making music? What has been the most drastic change for you thus far? I sure hope I've grown! haha. That's an interesting question because I think that this change that the world is going through right now is probably the most drastic change for me creatively. It's a headspace that is completely new to me. Emotions and feelings I haven't felt before. So my writing at the moment consists of things I never expected. Really weird how that happens. But I am wickedddddd excited to see what comes with me out of this situation. It was a delight having your music featured here on BuzzMusic! When do you plan on releasing some more new music? Do you have plans for an album release in the future? Thanks so much for featuring the music! Right now my latest single, "Life Fire" is out on all platforms. I'm currently working on some really cool things that I'm excited about (which I'm sure most creatives are at the moment). For now, if you're reading this, connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc, I'd love to chat! instagram.com/joshgluckmusic facebook.com/joshgluckmusic twitter.com/joshgluckmusic #BUZZMUSIC

From Lima, Peru, Oscar Quilca Barcelli is an internationally renowned drummer, educator, and composer. He was first introduced to music at the age of 7 when he learned how to play the traditional Peruvian flute. He then joined the school band and developed years of performance experience while touring around Lima. It wasn’t until age 15 that Oscar discovered his passion for percussion. Since then, Oscar has been known for his versatility in his abilities to play any type of percussion while he creates emotion through his rhythms. Oscar Quilca Barcelli’s “Regina’s Dream” is a four and a half minute, multi-instrumental piece. Throughout the song, Oscar Quilca Barcelli keeps listeners on their toes by constantly switching up the beat and the intensity. Each section of “Regina’s Dream” seems to deliver a different mood, as if it was a soundtrack for a retro cartoon. For example, rapid plucking of a bass drum that increases in pitch could be the sound of a character quickly running up the stairs. Throughout “Regina’s Dream,” Oscar Quilca Barcelli includes a multitude of instruments including piano, saxophone, and guitar. Although the tone often changes, the most prominent sounds throughout the song are the percussion instruments. He switches from cymbals to drums to maracas and more to add certain effects and emotions to specific sections. With “Regina’s Dream,” Oscar Quilca Barcelli shows us his natural ear for music. Listen to “Regina’s Dream” here. You have worked with Sofia Carson, Rafa Sardina, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kurt Elling, Oscar Stagnaro, Russell Taylor, Jo Lawry, Juan Carlos Fernandez, and Jesus Molina to name a few. What have you learned from collaborating with these artists? Working with some of the most important artists in the music industry has been a great and unique experience for me. Each one of them taught me something different that will be very useful for my career. I worked with them on various occasions such as concerts, productions, master classes, rehearsals and much more. What they all have in common is humility. I believe that is the main thing I learned from them, as well as how to infuse passion and dedication into music. This has been an important personal takeaway, as I feel they helped me realize the impact music has on my life. I’m so grateful to know these professionals and will always remember the experiences for the rest of my life. You are not only a successful percussionist and composer, but you are also an educator. Why is it important to you to give back to the music community through education? I believe that educators have the most important role when a musician is beginning his/her career. I have met many people that loved music when they were young but ultimately left it because their teacher was either "boring" or "not passionate enough to teach". I believe if they had a more inspirational teacher, maybe they would have taken music more seriously and their future could have been different. A true educator must know the importance of his/her work and display the same passion and dedication they feel when performing. For me, it's important to give back to the music community through education because music is an innovative art and continuously changes. Whenever I teach, I always try to relay all my knowledge because I consider it important that the students have professional experience as they begin their music careers. I have been fortunate to have truly amazing mentors and teachers throughout my career, and I'm sure that they directly impacted who I am now. They taught me that to be successful in music, you need passion, discipline, dedication, and hard work on a daily basis. I believe that talent alone does not make a musician successful, and it’s definitely something educators need to be teaching their students. You had the privilege of performing at the 20th Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas. What did you learn from this experience? How did it help you grow as an artist? This was probably the most incredible experience I've ever had in my career. I always knew I wanted to be a musician and to perform on the big stage, and after attending the Latin Grammy Awards, these thoughts have only been reinforced. Being there, with all the most important Latin artists across the world, was a sensation that is very hard to describe. At the backstage, I felt like one of them, but at the same time, I am also a huge fan. So it felt like I was playing two different roles. At the Latin Grammy Awards, I learned how important humility is for truly successful artists. I learned a lot of first-hand as well while performing at this exclusive event. Music is about the expression of your feelings through voice or your instrument. When I performed, everything changed in my soul and my mind. The most shocking part was after playing and going backstage, where I met Rosalia preparing to enter the stage. I was like, "I just performed at the Gala of the Grammys and now it’s Rosalia's turn...WOW". And after her came many other artists who I have admired all my life. As an artist, it gave me a different perspective of life and music. It was such a pleasant shock being there and meeting all those accomplished artists. One of my goals is to be back on that stage. The experience changed my life forever. You are currently working on new releases for your Afro-Peruvian project. Can you tell us what we can expect from this project? I started this project almost three years ago. My vision is to bring traditional music from my country and to add some Jazz harmony and instruments. I started by just playing some Jazz arrangements but then decided to take a big step and start working on original music. I just released my very first single titled "Regina's Dream". There’s also meaning behind the name, as "Regina" means "Reina" in Spanish (Queen in English). Crown means "Corona" in Spanish, so I related this to the Coronavirus. I decided to translate it in Italian because when I was working on the tune, the COVID-19 epicenter was Italy. I also have many friends in Italy, so I view the title as a tribute in support of everyone who has been affected. My intention is that this song will inspire hope and bring peace to people across the world. In terms of the song’s makeup, it is a fusion of Afro-Peruvian Jazz with a Rock guitar style and a Pop concept. The song comes with a very innovative rhythm motif in the rhythm section and a legato melody that repeats constantly. It was influenced by Geoffrey Keezer's album titled "Aurea". I have received very positive feedback so far, so I’m excited to share my work! I will also be releasing my EP by the end of May. This EP is one of the craziest things I've ever worked on in my career. It combines many styles, but especially the Afro-Peruvian vibe. The whole EP shares this theme, and I am very excited to release it soon. It’s definitely an interesting and complex fusion, and it’s proven to be very danceable as well. instagram.com/oscarqbdrums facebook.com/oscarqbaterista #BUZZMUSIC

Welcome to BuzzMusic Jaypeakk! We’re loving the vibe you created in “All the Time”! How did you come up with the concept behind the story in this tune? How would you describe the story you’re telling? Honestly, the song was completely composed in like 3 hours. I had this instrumental a producer sent to me; Ideas were rushing in my head the first time I listened. I couldn’t immediately start writing and composing due to a full-time job I had, but I was vibing to the instrumental the whole time and noting down Ideas I had bit by bit; Until the Weekend came. And I finally had some free time. So the song was Completed that same weekend. The whole plot behind the story came about due to the Realization of the fact that although I was doing my possible best at the time to earn someone’s love; it wasn’t just enough and there’s a lot of room for me to do more than the effort I put in at the time. This tune has a super modern feeling to it, how did you create those attention-grabbing synth sounds? What about your vocal sound? There’s a cool almost autotune like effect on it that’s quite musical. That though; Big ups to my producer and sound engineer who worked on the mixing and mastery of the track. The producer had already made a gem and I only needed to complement with great properly laid vocals as I did. So my production team actually deserves the most praise for that; Because it’s majorly due to the part they played and nice vocals from me too. How would you describe your musical style? It’s got a really cool mix of R&B and hip-hop, do you have any idols that you look up to that helped inspire the sound of you? Do you have anything else that inspires you? The sound and style is Pop. As a young 4 years old kid in the early 2000s. I grew up heavily listening to the songs that were trending then at the time. I had quickly discovered It was soothing listening to those types of songs. It was during this period I first truly fell in love with music.   I listened to a lot of songs growing up but couldn’t yet know or tell who sang what at that age. Celine Dion was the first singer I could recognize for her songs when it was played. I later discovered a Michael Jackson collection CD which I loved right away when I played it. At the age of 9, I had a reconnection with Hip-hop, R&B, and rap from the early 2000s which I had grown up listening to. I could recognize particular songs made by respective artists. And I fell deeper in love with the songs and most especially artists who made them. Artists like 50 Cent, Eminem, Sisqo, Usher, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Nelly, etc really Inspired and heavily influenced my taste for good music at the initial stage.  I knew and appreciated more and more artists and their art as I grew. Right now Drake inspires me a lot. Big ups to the father of Afrobeat; Fela Kuti and present-day superstar of the Afrobeat Genre; Wizkid. Their life story is inspiring and a big motivation for me It’s really exciting to hear about the distribution deal you have with Chaos Music! How did that whole deal happen? How did you feel when you found out they wanted to distribute you? One day I was watching a YouTube video on how indie artists could get their music heard. I heard about this music website where Labels, influencers, and music bloggers actually were actually seeking indie artists to collaborate and do business with. I signed up on the site and submitted my song to like 20 different record labels, music blog sites, and internet radio stations. I got so much positive feedbacks but Chaos Music was the only one that showed interest in going further and doing business. It was soothing and really a good feeling to have a Label show interest in helping put my music out there. From starting out at 9 years old, do you see a certain trend in how you write music? What are some ways that you have seen yourself grow as an artist? Do you have any goals that you are aiming to achieve as you grow further? What's next for you? As a young adolescent, most of the time I didn’t like anyone figuring out or knowing what I was thinking in my mind; Even though I cherished and always appreciated the chance to successfully express myself. So I soon discovered writing of my ideas as a great hobby.  The fact that I’ve become more proficient when it comes to composing melodies, rhythm. I’m still fine-tuning my sound not because I’m not good enough but due to my awareness that I can do better So I’m always working to be a better version of my self all round in all aspects. I’m currently working on an extended play record that’s dropping late this summer. I hope and truly believe 2 -3 songs from that record blowing up will launch me into the limelight. I And my team is currently working on publicity and creating much awareness as possible for my EP which will be out towards the third quarter of this year. Listen to "All the Time" here.

Philadelphia songwriter/producer Delv releases her ethereal track “Two Shadows” off her recent album “Waning”. While incorporating serene acoustic guitar and Delv’s angelic vocals, she decided to broaden her sound with the addition of electronic production through vibrant soundscapes and harmonic synths. While sharing introspective stories that come straight from the heart, Delv is back at it again with her recent hit “Two Shadows”. Chills run up our spine as Delve serenades us with her vocals full of breath and peace. By bringing in her folk influences, she’s able to translate the poise of folk music while giving it her own spin through surreal acoustic guitar and lush vocals. Starting out with pensive and heartfelt acoustic guitar picking, “Two Shadows” maintains this dreamy instrumentation throughout the entirety of the song, giving it nothing but emotion and depth. As Delv’s delicate vocals take the stage, her layered vocals let out a placid and transcendent harmony that expands the song even more. What we’ve noticed so far is Delv’s ability to shine a light on vulnerable emotions and connect with her audience on a cerebral level. She sings heartfelt lyrics of not wanting a relationship to run its course and taking time to smell the roses with her partner. “Two Shadows” shares the infinite and deep running emotions that Delv intends to portray, yet that we can also relate to. You can listen to "Two Shadows" here. Hey Delv, welcome to BuzzMusic! Your recent hit “Two Shadows” brings us a sense of calm during these unpredictable days. Could you expand on where Delv found inspiration for the song's message and overall atmosphere? This song is actually about my husband.  We found each other during a really transitional and vague moment in both of our lives.  And we were nightcrawlers at the time, falling in love and exploring the depths of ourselves and our new relationship during after hours.  I wrote about what it was like to fall in love with him, to find solace and safety in just being inside of that feeling even if there was no direction. The experience of being in love really actually makes everything else that used to feel important just melt away.  I think that’s what I really wanted to talk about.  About how no other goal, achievement, or direction mattered as long as I got to wander inside the present with him.  Just two figures dancing.  I want to bring that sort of presence to everything I do. At the time I wrote this song, it was also raining for like a week in LA which is so rare and lovely.  I love the rain because it gives you permission to be slow and introspective.  LA is always so sunny and fast-paced.  I took advantage of that time and really reflected on what was in my heart at the moment.  I’m sure that the rain translated into a calm feeling in the song. Speaking on your song “Two Shadows”, the underlying instrumentation sounds to be at a minimum, letting your vocals stand strong and clear. Why did Delv want to create more of an acoustic sounding folk song, rather than adding in your notable electronic production? Something about this piece felt like it grew from a deeper, more delicate root in me.  So, I chose for it to be distinct from the others.  I also wanted the listener to feel like I was speaking directly to them and didn’t want to muddle the vulnerability with too much instrumentation.  When there are fewer distractions, there’s really no choice but to listen to the steady letter I was reading aloud throughout the song. We’ve heard hat Delv strives to incorporate atmospheres (whether positive or negative) that reflect human vulnerability. Could you share how Delv went through with this on your song “Two Shadows’? It’s hard to answer this because all of the creative choices I make are always in the moment.  So, I guess that would innately make it vulnerable.  But, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I usually know I’m going to keep a song if I drop a tear or two when I write it.  That sounds cheesy, but it's a legitimate part of my creative process.  I have no control over it, it gets pulled directly from my guts.  And that’s when I know it's genuine. For this song, I really just tuned in to whatever the song needed.  This one asked me to be quiet, so I was.  And I always try to incorporate atmospheric sounds that add to the texture and feel of a piece, like the backdrop of a painting.  I think if my sound was painted it would be watercolor.  Not really distinct or driving, not always with precision or within my full control, but the soundscapes are there to aid the overall emotion of a song. In regards to your debut album “Waning”, you’ve mentioned that the project’s story is one of introspection, uncertainty and evolving towards a sense of self. What does Delv want your audience to takeaway for the album as a whole, and what songs stand out for you the most? That’s really up to the listener.  I purposefully write vague lyrics that are either about a sense or an emotion with the intention of allowing room for people to put their own meaning into the song.  Two Shadows I think is actually the only song with anything close to a storyline. If I were to pick one song, though, that I think lyrically represents the whole album it would be “Back of My Hands”.  The piece takes you through the idea of all the lives and deaths we experience in one lifetime.  The shedding, the intense moment of a realization, and the rebirth.  And that’s what growth is, really.  It’s letting go of something old, an idea or a habit, so you can invite something new.  Even if that experience is painful, it is necessary.  And that’s really what the album is about, it’s all about the experience of transitions, growth, and transformation.  Whatever that means to each person. There’s a Tibetan proverb I’m thinking of that says, “Wisdom is like rainwater, it gathers in the lowest places”.  I think that’s the idea I tried to carry throughout the album. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? I think it's hard to say right now.  Everything has been so unpredictable, it's difficult to plan.  So, I’m writing.  I’m always writing.  Almost so much that I forget to perform!  But, right now I’m experimenting with some pieces and seeing where they go until I can play some shows! instagram.com/delvmusic delv.bandcamp.com delvmusic.com #BUZZMUSIC

From Harlem, New York, Rashaann is a 24-year-old rapper, songwriter, producer, and screenwriter who now creates his music from Atlanta, Georgia. He discovered his passion for music at a young age because his parents constantly exposed him to the world of music and entertainment. Rashaann began his career with a debut mixtape called “No Previews” in 2018, and has recently begun to release singles from his debut album “Same Dreams.” His single “Pray for This” has been released from this album and is a taste for fans to see what they can expect for the rest of the songs. In the album, Rashaann often works with other artists to bring a unique sound to each of his singles. In his recent release “Pray for This,” he collaborates with vocalist Meraki Anoir who gives the song a soulful taste. Rashaann’s “Pray for This” mixes the best of multiple genres with its blues piano background and R&B beat. Both Meraki and Rashaann complement each other vocally; her voice is silky and angelic, while he is passionate and straight to the point. He raps with a deliberate intensity in order to get his message across to the listener. Rashaann s lyrics bring attention to the great divide among socioeconomic statuses in the world. He speaks to his hard work allowing him to rise from his past, while others were simply born into a life where everything is handed to him. The lyrics of “Pray for This” compare “first world problems” to real struggles that some people have no choice but to endure; like not having clean water. With “Pray for This,” Rashaann is giving fans a catchy R&B song with an important message; wherever you are in life – don’t take your blessings for granted. You can find "Pray for This" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Rashaann! You brought tasteful amounts of soul and blues into the R&B world with “Pray for This.” Can you tell us how you draw from other genres and inspirations to create the unique sound of this song? Thank you for the opportunity! The song was produced by one of my best friends Poetic Junior and when I first heard the beat, I instantly knew it would have the ability connect with all types of listeners due to its joyful and celebratory sound. I wanted something that people could easily remember and easily sing along to. “Pray for This” reminds us that many people pray for things that other people take for granted. Can you elaborate on the important message behind your lyrics? While I wanted to make sure I connected people sonically with the sound of the song, I also wanted to speak about something that would connect with people emotionally. I know that many people can relate to wanting something so badly, finally achieving it, and being extremely grateful, no matter how big or how small it is. On the other hand, we know there are people that may take these things for granted when they obtain them, and sometimes we might even do it. I know there have been many things in my life that I’ve taken for granted. You have named multiple artistic inspirations from a variety of genres including Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Wonder, Adele, The Beach Boys, and Amy Winehouse. How do artists like this inspire your musical style? Artists like these prove that music has the power to transcend generations, cultures, etc. That is the same impact on the world that I want to have with my music and be the soundtrack to the everyday lives of millions. They inspire me to be risk-takers with my art. You often collaborate with other artists who bring unique styles to your music. Can you describe your collaboration with Meraki Anoir in your song “Pray for This?” I met Meraki Anoir in college at a pop-up show she was performing at on campus. I really enjoyed her set and her voice and immediately knew that I would look forward to collaborating with her in the future. At the time, I didn’t have any specific ideas to work on, but months later, as soon as I decided I wanted a singer on “Pray for This”, she was the first person that came to mind. She’s very easy to work with, catches on to ideas really quickly. Everyone around me, including myself, felt that her voice was a perfect fit for the song. I look forward to working with her more in the future. What can we expect to see next from you? Since 2020 began, I’ve been releasing a new single every week. Unfortunately, COVID-19 slowed the plans down a bit, so I’ve only released 6 so far. But I plan to release just a few more songs in the near future. Also, I will be releasing a music video for the second single to follow up “Pray for This” on my debut project, No Previews. instagram.com/rashaann_karma twitter.com/Rashaann_Karma #BUZZMUSIC

Molly Parton is a country girl through and through who is working with producer Rob “Rez” Resnick to release a new style of dance music. They have already released a debut EP called 'Welcome to Mollyville' which consists of Molly’s successful ode to the south called “California”. With her country background, she draws inspiration from DJ legends like Avicii to bring the passion and stories of country into the dance world. With her newest release “Redneck”, Molly is giving a new meaning to that word. She is taking her unique taste of country and dance flavors and sharing it with her fans. For anyone sitting in quarantine and desperately missing the rave scene, or if you’ve been jumping on those TikTok shuffling trends – “Redneck” is your song. Molly Parton has a clear, vibrant voice that makes the melody catchy and alluring. The beat teases the listener as it continues to build and release, until ultimately ending up at a wicked base drop. After the base drop, Molly includes electronic vocal ad-libs comparable to the style of many of Galantis’ base drops. Lyrically, she floats around red objects like dresses and lips, she then mentions red heat and ends up building to the chorus “redneck.” Molly Parton’s “Redneck” is an ideal example of a colorful electronic dance song that will have you feeling young and fresh as you bop your head to the hard-hitting beat. Just because we’re sitting at home doesn’t mean we should miss out on those youthful festival feelings, so grab your speaker and your shuffling sneakers and hit play on Molly Parton’s single “Redneck”. Listen to "Redneck" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Molly Parton! With your fresh flavors of country and dance, you are certainly making a footprint in the DJ world. Can you describe to us more about what “Redneck” stands for both lyrically and musically? Thanks! Lyrically the song is about repurposing the word ‘Redneck’ to be a term of passion and love- something a girl would give her man to show other people that he’s taken. And musically I wanted to find a happy ground between huge bass and banjos, with of course a little vocal chop to keep you singing :) You have said that your main inspirations come from Avicii’s early music including “Wake Me Up” and “Hey Brother.” Can you elaborate on how your music is influenced by both country, and Avicii’s style? Avicii was a genius.  His songs are emotionally compelling and incredibly melody-driven.  I’ve always loved his ability to keep dance music sounding organic.  I also come from a background of playing guitar, piano, drums.. and want to be able to put those sounds side by side with the dance elements, and of course, be able to tell stories with my songs. Your goals for the next year are to headline both Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals. How are you hoping to achieve these goals? Why are both of these festivals important for you? We’re super excited for this whole quarantine thing to be over so we can start playing shows, of course.  I like a lot of the live stream stuff but nothing will ever replace the feeling of loud music, sweaty people, and overpriced drinks :) but yeah we’re looking for ways to differentiate this project in such a strange time - I’m sure we’ll do some live streams and that sort of thing but thinking outside the box is what we’re best at and I’m excited to see what I can do to innovate! You have a tour set up for the spring of 2020 called “Ain’t No Party Like a Molly Party.” Can you tell fans what they can expect from this tour? Firstly way more music.  I have so many songs currently on a hard drive, its crazy. I want to get in more rooms with some of the country artists I love too - Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch, Restless Road.. finally release this dope song I have with Kalie Shorr! And I want to learn to throw a lasso from a horse.  I’ve never thrown a lasso, and definitely never ridden a horse so that might be hard… maybe I’ll pull a Joe Excotic and run for president. facebook.com/iamMOLLYPARTON instagram.com/themollyparton twitter.com/robresnick #BUZZMUSIC

From Camden, New Jersey, Three-FiftyNine is an experimental indie, hip hop band who has just released a single called “Runit2.” Their goal as a band is to create lyrics that will make their fans want to sit down and take the time to understand their song. With each release, Three-FiftyNine dives deeper into the individuality and unique aspects of people as inspiration for their music and lyricism. They released an album labeled 'Ghost of a Scholar' in 2020, which contains the song “Runit2.” The new release “Runit2” is an indie hip hop track that accentuates the individuality of each of the Three-FiftyNine band members. From beginning to end, the song is bringing fans new sounds and musical styles. The beat is innovative and mostly electronic, which gives “Runit2” its unique personality. The lyrics of “Runit2” are rapped in a laid-back, spoken-word style as Three-FiftyNine alternates between vocalists. The rapping is quick-paced which leaves room for large amounts of lyrics and symbolism. To name a few Three-FiftyNine brings attention to hierarchy in life as well as the obsession humankind has with economic status. With “Runit2,” Three-FiftyNine brings us a song with fresh new sounds and many important messages all wrapped into one tasteful package. Listen to "Runit2" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Three-FiftyNine! You brought us many layers of musical and lyrical depth with “Runit2.” Can you speak more to the message behind your lyrics in “Runit2?” Runit2 is another installment to a previous song we written called “Runit(1).” The first Runit was a song me and Azaris (my bandmate) composed and it was about whether the systematic and vast world of technological advancements and other resources revolve around humans or vice versa. I feel like we have this huge responsibility to be alive and we must truly enjoy life and not the made-up things people typically say that’s enjoyable. We run in a circuit neither of us asked for nor conjured by. with the human mind. We as people are apart of everything built and structured from tiny atoms to wide solar structures, and Runit2 expands that message even more. What is the meaning behind your band’s name “Three-FiftyNine?” What does the title of your song “Runit2” represent? The band name (Three-FiftyNine) came to me when I was in my high school cafeteria during a lunch period. I randomly came across a documentary on YouTube about the 1952 Olympics located in the southern capital of Finland called Helsinki. I was engaged in watching the most iconic sports moments in history, and a medical student in London named Roger Bannister, set a record for running a mile under four minutes — 3 minutes and 59 seconds, to be exact — becoming the first man ever to do so, creating a seminal moment in sports history. His record-setting feat would be surpassed many times to even more runners during the next decades as they grow faster, stronger, and better-trained. I like the idea of using this context as part of the band name because our goal as artists is to not only make music for ourselves and fight for attention, but we don’t care if we’re underrated and we never ask to be famous. Through the art we make and this metaphorical canvas we paint, we want to write songs and inspire other aspiring artists that desire to do what they love and what makes them happy and to express themselves through this form too. We just want to be real. Vocally, you feed off of each other’s assets in the song “Runit2.”Can you elaborate on how you communicate and collaborate? When creating songs and brainstorming ideas, me and Azaris would compromise our schedules, despite living and handling our separate lives, in order to come together and meet up for band material. Our creative process is very fluent and we always like to keep each other on the same page and share our ideas. We simply flow like a river as we go. Communication is key to any form of relationship in general; music-wise or not. It’s important to give reassurance, encourage, and lift each other’s spirits up in some way when being creative. And outside of music and behind our artistic personas, we’re also human. We like playing video games, talking about how we view the world, our hopes and dreams, Pokemon, guy stuff, and all that jazz. It feels good and a lot better to be genuine and real instagram.com/alexandrcho_music instagram.com/azaris.kiwi #BUZZMUSIC

In 2017, three budding musicians came together on the streets of Hermosa Beach, California, to pool their talents and create a punk rock band called PLNT9. The band consists of Alex Archon on vocals and bass, Milan Zivkovic on the guitars, and Chuck Mckissock on the drums. Years later, the band has performed at various venues in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, and Hollywood. PLNT9 took 2020 in stride and decided to create their first EP called “Orbiter” with producer Fox Fagan. Having already released their first single from the EP called “On Your Own”, PLNT9 has just released the second called “Sunsuit”. The punk rock song “Sunsuit” has a small intro of a few plucks of an electric, then a bass guitar. In no time Milan and Alex are shredding cords on their guitars as they take the song from zero to sixty with full throttle. Chuck forces the quick beat as he slams on the drums. During the 50 instrumental section at the beginning of “Sunsuit”, listeners will have no doubt that the members of PLNT9 are simply made for each other. Alex’s vocals are laid back and raspy, holding true to a traditional rock and roll voice. The instrumentalists bring the heat with their vintage style heavy metal riffs and solos. To give the timeless roots of rock culture their own unique spin, PLNT9also adds refreshing electronic sounds. With “Sunsuit”, PLNT9 shows off their impeccable instrumental talent and love of old fashioned metal, all while introducing their own modern tastes to the rock world. Listen to "Sunsuit" here. Can you tell us about the curative process of the song and the message behind your lyrics? Sunsuit is one of the heavier tracks that we've written. Having gone through a few melody and structure changes, the end result was a song that truly meant a lot to us a band and couldn't wait to go out and play live. Lyrically, it describes the hardship of witnessing the downward spiral of a loved one that you couldn't save in the end. You all have had various musical interests including Kyuss, early Muse, Sonic Youth, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin. How have these artists influenced and inspired your music style? When we get together and start the songwriting process, we always reference other bands that we've been listening to. We draw inspiration from these bands and many others by seeing what makes them unique and how we can create our own style the way these bands have. It is clear in your single “Sunsuit” that you feed off of each other’s talents as a band. Can you tell us how you collaborate to create your music as a band? The way we collaborate and jam as a band is the essence of how we write our music. Either we work on a riff or idea that written prior by someone in the band or we have a long extended jam session and feed off the vibe from that. We wanted our first EP to sound like a live band and 'Sunsuit' is one of our strongest at that. What is the meaning behind your band name PLNT9? The namePLNT9originated a few years ago when we were deciding what we wanted to call the band. We saw the news that there was a ninth planet discovered in our solar system and thought that 'Planet 9' would be the best name for what we do. The decision to change the spelling toPLNT9was to make it easier to find online and stand out more. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? Our biggest plan for the year 2020 is to release our debut EP 'Orbiter'. We have released our first single from the EP, 'On Your Own' on April 3 and now have come out with our second single, 'Sunsuit'. We have had plans for releasing a pair of music videos and release shows, but due to the pandemic, these plans are on hold. However, our EP will be released on Friday, May 29. facebook.com/plnt9band instagram.com/plnt9 twitter.com/plnt9band #BUZZMUSIC

D'Auria's music follows his heart and purpose. As a newcomer, the LA-based artist produces intricate compositions in service of arcane vibes, sampling from his appetite for music. His music exposes layers of complexity beneath its hypnotic character, feeding our outlet for an even more profound personal experience. With a desire to uphold his message of keeping dreams alive, this artist is not shy when using ominous chords and uptempo rhythms. This year, D'Auria imparts some of his most besotted music with a lush, velvety haze through the release of his new musical endeavor, "Resonate." In this song, benevolently nudging drums and gleaming synth squiggles immerse you in the song's peaceful atmosphere. The softened vocal delays form a union as fortifying as the one D'Auria has with his fondness for house music. Tenderly sturdy transitions braid together excitement and anticipation while also neatly sectioning the song. A gliding heat similar to the feeling of entering into a hot club room dance floor fills the serene composition. D'Auria has always been able to use his dynamic knowledge of rhythm to excite. Still, here he creates a nonetheless striking effect by administering a balm of his own curiosity into the house music universe and receiving an otherworldly composition out of it like, "Resonate." Listen to "Resonate" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic D'Auria! We're absolutely captivated by the sound you manage to produce. Can you tell us more about your inspirations for "Resonate" and what this track means to you personally? I am so glad you guys enjoyed that song. It always a pleasure hearing positive feedback from your art. Even the negative feedback helps because it fuels your next project to be better than the last. But definitely strive for positive feedback for sure. When I wrote Resonate, I wanted to make something you can play with the windows rolled down when it is hot and something you can just relax to. It is definitely a summer song. Going through writer's block is what really inspired me to make it haha. I was not feeling too creative when I wrote this song, it kind of just came out of me naturally. What Resonate means to me is a record that gets you to sit down and think about life. What kind of artist do you aspire to be? Are there any inspirations you draw from that reflect these aspirations? I aspire to be a House Music Producer & a DJ and eventually a record label owner. I want to be someone who people look up to and be respected in the industry. What inspires me to create house music is the feeling I get on the dancefloor when I go see my favorite DJs. That feeling you get while hearing a new record you never heard before and it makes you say DAMN I wanna know the name of that song is such a great feeling to have. I look up to artists such as Low Steppa, Camelphat, Deadmau5, Diversion, Tchami, and many others just to name a few. I look up to these guys because they all have such a unique sound and they are all respected in the industry. I think I have created a sound that reflects my personality. If I can inspire others to pursue their dreams (whatever dream it may be) then I know I am doing something right. Is there one thing you could think of that attributes to your success at finding your own voice as an artist? Or do you feel that there is more to learn about yourself? For me, it is all about building personal relationships and just having a great personality every day. Being grateful for the little things helps me out a lot and I always remind myself why I started making music. I have accomplished a few of my goals but I know I am going to accomplish more in the near future, I just have to be patient. I started making music about 5 years ago, on my own. I don't have any family history that makes music or have gotten any formal training. A lot of my music I have learned everything on my own and I am still learning more and more every day. It was truly our pleasure featuring you here on BuzzMusic! Can you tell us more about what's next for you, artistically? Do you have any new music coming out this year? Thank you so much for having me you guys! We are all in quarantine right now, so It has been very beneficial for me because I have been making a lot of new music for my fans and just trying to stay busy as much as I can. I have been super creative lately. Plus, I am dying to play another show. I absolutely can not wait to get back in the clubs again. I just released a video for Resonate recently, it captures the overall feeling you get when you listen to the song. Very scenic, a lot of neutral colors, I am very happy with the outcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wEF4hQhhMk I am going to release a 3 song little EP for the summer called Songs to play at dawn. Be on the lookout for that. Till next time! instagram.com/dauriamusic twitter.com/dauriamusic facebook.com/dauriamusic #BUZZMUSIC
