Author Otis D. Gore Gives Hope and Inspiration in “The Audacity of Doubt” https://otisdgoreauthor.com/ Doubt-Pushing-Through BOOK Otis D. Gore's latest book, The Audacity of Doubt, is more than just a collection of personal stories and reflections; it's a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with self-doubt and seeking resilience. In this transformative work, Gore takes readers on a journey through his own life, offering a candid exploration of the trials and triumphs that have shaped his understanding of doubt and perseverance. Writing The Audacity of Doubt was not an easy feat for Gore. As the author explains, the process required him to confront some of the most challenging moments of his life—moments that were fraught with uncertainty and introspection. Gore's narrative is one of vulnerability and honesty, qualities that he believes are essential for crafting a story that resonates deeply with readers who may be facing similar challenges. The book is not just a recounting of Gore's personal experiences. Instead, it is carefully constructed to balance authenticity with relatability. Gore meticulously crafts each chapter to not only share his journey but also to provide a universal message of inspiration. He integrates practical strategies and relatable anecdotes, transforming the abstract concept of overcoming doubt into something tangible and actionable. Throughout the writing process, Gore faced his own bouts of self-doubt. However, these moments only reinforced the book’s core message: pushing through uncertainty and fear is essential to achieving something meaningful. Gore's determination to offer readers genuine insights led him to explore new depths of his own psyche, making the book a testament to the power of resilience and self-belief. The Audacity of Doubt offers more than just encouragement; it provides a roadmap for personal growth. Each chapter is a unique blend of storytelling and actionable advice, designed to help readers confront their fears, embrace resilience, and unlock their full potential. Gore’s use of personal anecdotes alongside practical strategies makes the book an essential guide for anyone looking to break free from the constraints of self-doubt and live their best life. In a world where doubt often feels like a constant companion, The Audacity of Doubt stands out as a powerful tool for self-empowerment. Otis D. Gore’s journey of overcoming his own doubts serves as a powerful reminder that while doubt may never fully disappear, it does not have to dictate the course of our lives. Instead, by confronting our fears and embracing our resilience, we can forge a path forward that is not only meaningful but also transformative. Equally important, Otis D. Gore is deeply passionate about public speaking and inspiring others through his words. With a strong belief in the power of communication to effect change, he is eager to share his insights on overcoming self-doubt and embracing audacity with a broader audience. Gore's ultimate goal is to deliver a TEDx speech, where he can connect with people on a global scale and encourage them to challenge their own limitations, just as he has done throughout his life and career. For anyone ready to take that step, The Audacity of Doubt offers the guidance and inspiration needed to turn uncertainty into strength and hesitation into action. Dive into this transformative journey and discover the audacity to overcome your own doubts.

This impressive feat highlights his growing influence in the music industry.

Ja’son embodies the belief that with enough dedication, any goal is achievable. He embraces his second chance with enthusiasm, driven by a profound desire to succeed. “I am stronger today than I’ve ever been. Like, I have a hunger and drive with tenacity and desire to take everything,” he says. “I’m not saying it’s to be superficial. I’m saying I want it. I want it more than anybody else wants it because getting back to that point and taking the Rolling Stone Magazine [feature] would be huge in itself. And then taking the future of music showcase just shows that if I can do it, you can do it.” Ja’son’s top finish in the group rounds and his place in the quarter-finals show his potential to secure the Rolling Stone Magazine feature and the $10,000 prize.

| Creator to Creators S4 Ep 14 3AM Tokyo | 30 Sep 2023 | 00:28:16 | |
3AM Tokyo, a well known cover act in the northeastern U.S. is releasing a new original single that’s all about lust and the fun and sexy side of life. The new single “Whoa Oh Oh” was released in mid-August and features the fresh new voice of Eliza Vitale paired with group founder Picasso Brown, Steve Leevy on keyboard, Eric Whatley on bass and Jerel Murray on drums. “You really have to listen to the message because it’s inferred,” Picasso said. “It’s a very sexual song, it’s about lust. The premise is like whoa, oh my God. When Eliza is singing her part, she’s talking about how he makes her feel, like whoa. And when I sing my part, I'm saying like, how you use everything you're doing and it’s like whoa for me as well. It's fun and sexy.” Picasso said 3AM Tokyo was called on recently to open for the rapper Flo Rida for a few dates on the east coast and they decided to come up with an original song to debut at that opening. “This was actually Eliza’s idea,” Picasso said. “She was like, ‘we should come up with a song.’ I called her up to come to the studio and we knocked it out in four hours. Literally four hours, we wrote it and I produced and mixed it within two days.” 3AM Tokyo is the brainchild of Picasso, a Grammy nominated Singer/Songwriter/Producer, and it is one of the top regional and national cover acts with a powerful mix of pop, hip hop, EDM, reggae and rock. “The sounds and dynamics of 3AM Tokyo are flawless, but we also have one of the top visual production shows on the scene, not only performing the songs, but giving fans a visual experience like no other,” Picasso said. “It's a visual show with lights and lasers and LED walls and all that stuff. And we have a complete mix of what we do throughout our show. So all these songs work within a three hour show that we do.” Picasso said all the members of 3AM Tokyo have their own musical careers. Leevy on keyboard is a national touring musician who has performed with Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg and others. Whatley is also a bass player for John Legend. “I formed this group with different people that are that are prominent and in different areas,,” Picasso said. “We've been out for maybe ten years doing what we do. And it was just the four of us. Then I added Eliza to give us that kind of ‘Fergie’ feel, I guess you could call it. You know, Black Eyed Peas? She's my Fergie.” The group has had some success on the Billboard Top 100 charts with their song “Can We Kick It,” and they continue to forge a unique identity and a truly unparalleled experience.

| Creator to Creators S4 Ep 13 Shanti Chapman | 27 Sep 2023 | 00:36:23 | |
Former Army Musician Shanti Chapman’s latest single, “Joy Comes in the Morning,” is an R&B song that speaks to a universal audience. The new song showcases Chapman’s talent for heartfelt lyrics and soothing melodies. Chapman said, “It’s a testament to the power of music to uplift the soul. The music is very simple and powerful. It doesn’t get in the way of the message. It has familiar elements, but also unique elements, as far as the orchestration and progression of chords. “It falls in line with what I feel my mission is in life. I want to draw out the best in people and give them hope for a brighter future. I want those that are hurting and yearning to find something greater than themselves to be touched by my music." For “Joy Comes in the Morning,” Chapman took a draft to the accomplished producer Tré Corley of Hendersonville, Tennessee. He took Chapman’s work and turned it musically into what it is. Chapman sang the lead, while Corley’s wife contributed background vocals. Chapman, a former United States Army musician, learned to be dedicated, resilient, disciplined, and to pay attention to detail. Raised in a household full of music, his father was very musical. Shanti took piano lessons as a child. He found joy in picking out melodies by ear on the piano. His life's musical journey has included hip-hop, R&B songs, and everything else from Jazz to Gospel music. In addition to his recent single, Shanti Chapman is excited to share an upcoming project with listeners. Leading up to the holiday season, Chapman will be releasing an original Christmas single. He is also working on a large project with his label, DeMaskUs Music Group. “The project will be collaborative. I’m planning on aligning myself with artists in the industry who want to use music as a tool to provide hope and healing as well as entertainment.” When he isn’t working on new music, Shanti Chapman devotes himself to his family and community. For the past 10 months, he has been working with the homeless population and trying to find solutions to fix a broken system.

| Creator to Creators S4 Ep 12 Johnny PE | 21 Sep 2023 | 00:28:15 | |
Connect with the remixed Johnny PE on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3sCo5sdPcpYW9jU6GeAG73 Instagram TheJohnnyPE Johnny PE (PE stands for Pushing Everyday) is moving on from the R&B/hip-hop of his past. They are still part of his style, but “Somehow,” his latest single, is not the one or the other. They are, instead, part of a new fusion that incorporates both with the instrumentation and lyrics of several kinds of music that are in his musical background, including his upbringing and the place where he was born, raised and still lives — Nashville, Tennessee, specifically East Nashville. “Somehow” and its video drop on September 13. It is on the surface a love song and a song about relationships in general, with people, with life. “‘Somehow’ is all about how it’s okay to move on, from a relationship or from certain parts of your life where you feel like you’re stuck,” said Johnny PE. “As long as we’re here, there’s always a tomorrow. You always got new opportunities to make a better tomorrow. You just got to keep pushing everyday.” Memories keep pouring down We can’t escape from this dark cloud If we could find a way to figure it out Somehow, Somehow Moving on is what he is doing. “Somehow” is the next stage in his musical development. The drums of “Somehow” say hip-hop. The melodies and instrumentation are alternative. The soft, easy guitar work is like a ballad, and the lyrics are emo, but Johnny PE’s clear, strong voice now and then dips into R&B. “Once you listen to ‘Somehow’ and some of the future music, you’ll see it’s more alternative. It’s actually more emo because it’s more guitar — acoustic heavy, but it still has a bass line.” He said “Somehow” marks the opening of a new phase in his career, and the choice is deliberate. His tracks from here on out will be descendants of this one. “I’m in a different space in my life,” he said. “Hip-hop has saved a lot of people’s lives, and it’s always going to be around, but I want to make something more meaningful to me personally, something that touches me on a bigger level, something that people can relate to. It was time to change gears and show my evolution as a person and as an artist.” It is such a mix that he can’t put a name to it, but he said, “Once you hear this record? It’s gonna tell you just about everything you need to know about where I am and where I’m going.” The variety on display in this song, the way all the different pieces come together so smoothly, is a natural result of his upbringing and his place. His influences include, “of course,” Michael Jackson, but he said, “My parents used to play Side A, and Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, the old school music. My older brother, he would play different things, man. I’m ranging from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to Nickelback, Coldplay, Chris Brown, John Mayer, Usher, Frank Ocean and Pharrell Williams. Growing up in my house, I’d get a little bit of everything.” It’s also his place — Nashville, which is known for country, but also has a rich and varied musical culture, from country to blues. “It’s a great place to be,” he said. His background is making him a well-rounded artist, “able to try different things and experiment with my voice, and I can write just about whatever I want.” He has been making music for a dozen years or so now, starting out, like so many people do, “self-taught, singing our favorite songs on the radio.” Then, one day, his brother told him, “Man, you got a really nice voice. You should take it serious,” and he took his brother’s advice. “Of course, I wasn’t releasing music, but I was taking myself through music bootcamp, recording and trying to get better. I’ve always done R&B, then started to get better, gaining some local buzz. I just kept doing it, kept getting better, working on my voice, working on my pen, and here we are.” He has two more singles ready to go, “Changes” and “Breaking.” “They’re special, man. Words can’t even do them justice.” “I’m serious,” he said, laughing. “Amazing records, man, amazing. I’m excited about them. We got stuff lined up, and we’re really working.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||
| Creator to Creators S4 Ep 11 Juliera | 19 Sep 2023 | 00:31:18 | |
Website: https://www.juliera.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/00it1bBwOIDqd6QFINlBav YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/juliera Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamjuliera/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjuliera/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamjuliera Artist and lyricist, Juliera, brings self-empowerment and hope to the dancefloor with her latest single, “Hero.” With a rhythmic beat and thoughtful lyrics, the pop song speaks to all listeners. “It’s a very fun song,” shares Juliera. “It’s a dance song that talks about being the ‘Hero’ who goes the extra miles for people and does whatever it takes to make them happy… It’s about giving all your love.” Facing divorce, Juliera turned a difficult moment in her life into a chance to make herself happy. “I wrote the song in 2017 when I was actively ghostwriting for other people. The inspiration for this song hit me when someone hired me to write a song to a beat they provided. Several years later, the song was still stuck in my head and I couldn’t forget the melodies nor lyrics. So, I decided to record it myself.” Motivated by the positive feedback Juliera received on the studio recording, she decided to take the song to the public. “My 3-year-old son heard the song and absolutely loved it. He danced to it and made me replay it multiple times. I then decided that I would make my music video for this song based on a concept that is fun for kids and adults.” With the original beat tied to the first version of the song, Juliera enlisted a producer to create a new sound to accompany her original lyrics. Blending her Nigerian culture with American influences, Juliera showcases a diversity of sound through her music. She began writing around age 16. “I used to write lyrics on paper and one day my aunt went through my things and asked me if I wrote it, saying ‘it’s really good.’ I didn’t believe her, thinking it was just something an aunt would say. Then I got into college and wanted to see what to do on the side for income. I went on Fiverr and put up a gig to write songs and lyrics for people.” As fate would have it, “let me see if I can do this” became a successful hustle writing music for new and repeat clients. It was only a matter of time before Juliera earned over 250 five-star reviews writing more than 1000 songs, many of which were for return customers. “It made me realize I knew what I was doing and how to do it,” shares the artist. “Hero” is one of two songs available by the artist. Two videos are also available for the single, a lyric video and official music video. Her other single, “Let It Ache,” is about coping through heartbreak even when the heart aches. “I didn’t want to leave but what I was going through… I would rather walk away and take the heartbreak,” tells Juliera of the thought process that inspired the song. The artist also has eight songs written and four music videos ready for release. She plans to share new media regularly over the next few months. At the end of the day, Juliera hopes to inspire listeners to follow their dreams. “I think it’s important for people to follow their dreams and not settle for less. My husband didn’t want me to do music. So, I shut my dream away. I pulled my dreams away for this person who ended up being abusive and cruel to me… What a joke! Now, I’m happy doing what I love doing and I am doing better for myself now than I ever did in my marriage. It was almost as if my marriage was a dark cloud hovering above me and blocking my blessings. I want people to know their worth and choose better for themselves.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||

| Creator to Creators S4 Ep 9 Nicole-Marie | 15 Sep 2023 | 00:29:04 | |
Connect with Nicole-Marie on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts. Website: https://nicolemariemusic.com/ Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B001A0RUE8/nicole- marie?isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/nicole-marie/16755350 SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/nstaeheli Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/29GCUWCofGEkh3uwjrhJV0 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE0Oz6pxxUrIy1VV4yMTCuA Reverbnation: https://www.reverbnation.com/nicolemarie79 “Ocean Breeze,” the song by Nicole-Marie off her EP Roars, Flames and Embers, is such a beautiful, calming acoustic track that you would never know it was inspired by dental trauma. Dental trauma, and the sounds of the dental office — the drill, something that sounds like suction — explains the line that says, “There’s a voice that’s demonic.” “I was under the influence of nitrous oxide,” said Nicole-Marie, “and it was the sound that’s — well, demonic — but I pretended it was an ocean breeze. I thought, ‘Okay, that’s just an ocean breeze washing over me.’” I am one with the morning I am one with the world And my soul is exploring The ocean breeze that has unfurled “I have so much dental trauma that I cope by making up songs while I’m under the influence of nitrous oxide. I feel like if I go to the dentist, I’m at least gonna get a good song out of it for going through all that pain and misery.” There’s a voice that’s demonic but I am focusing On ocean breeze in the distance blowing evil far from me It’s a great story. Hearing her tell it, and listening to the song, it’s also believable. But evil is real for her, both in her personal experience — having lived through 25 years of narcissistic abuse — and in her day work as a social worker and mental health therapist specializing in trauma. “There’s still stuff I’m deprogramming from, and I’m still in recovery from that situation, but there are situations in the world that are not ‘just’ narcissistic abuse, but psychopathic and sociopathic abuse as well.” “I’m expanding the metaphor to mean the demonic presence in the world,” she said. “Ocean Breeze” is a way of calming the soul, combatting the mental, spiritual presence of evil, whether it’s fanciful, like hearing Satan in a dental drill, or the much more destructive kind that is all too common in what she calls “the 3D world.” The song features slow, melodic rhythms of guitar, banjo, and mandolin, timed by drums beating at the pace of a heart at rest. Nicole-Marie’s lyrics are delivered in her deep, soothing voice. Doug Rusk is a featured vocalist on the track and is also the lead guitarist. She and Rusk are also featured in the video, produced by Smokescreen Media. “I was really impressed with them. I’m going to work with them on another video soon,” she said. Nicole-Marie’s voice can climb. It has changed since she lost all hearing in her left ear more than a decade ago. Her right ear loses hearing intermittently and sometimes, she says, she is legally deaf. “I used to be a first soprano when I did choir in high school. Since my hearing loss, I’ve become more like an alto. I’ve learned to sing in that method — I don’t know what it’s called, actually — but you hear by feeling the vibration in your body. On some of those notes, I might not even be able to hear what I’m hitting.” Abuse, hearing loss, cancer. She has survived and is recovering still from a great deal of evil herself. Her music and her life are conducted in accordance with her spirituality, which is at heart a non-denominational Christianity influenced by a pan-spiritual outlook and yogic and other influences. Christianity is fractured, a “divided kingdom,” she says, and needs to be much less judgmental, which is inherently divisive, “because we don’t want to be conquered by being divided.” “I want to inspire other people to make the highest vibrational choices for their lives,” which she defines as making life choices and decisions out of “gratitude, love, joy, contentment,” rather than out of fear, anger or guilt. “Ocean Breeze” is the lead single she is promoting from Roars, Flames and Embers, but two other songs from the EP hold special meaning for her. “Pour out the Oil” was inspired by Kim Clement’s prophetic writings on the biblical Esther. The song features a woman, she said, who would “pour out the oil, pour out healing to the world.” “I wanted to put in influences of biblical women, powerful women,” she said. “So I put Esther in a verse, and then Mary of Bethany, in a verse. Both were powerful biblical women. I wanted to focus on that and what I think will be the return of the divine feminine.” She added, “And I’m not referring to the Barbie movie.” The other song is “Beyond the Stars.” “That one was written in the voice of God. I wrote it after experiencing some workplace bullying. It’s like God speaking to me, saying, ‘I know who you really are, no matter what other people call you, or say about you. I know who you really are.’ It’s about forgiveness, too, of the bullies and of anybody that has to live in this crazy world. I think it’s a very healing song.” Nicole-Marie has been putting out music since 2003. Her catalogue includes six albums and EPs and several singles. She lists her genre as “spiritual folk rock” and those are all present, each by itself sometimes, sometimes in combination. She has performed live, but not since the pandemic. She is dealing with a case of performance anxiety but wants to perform again. She especially wants to go on a tour. That reality is in a world that lies a little way down the road. In the 3D world of now, there is promoting “Ocean Breeze” and Roars, Flames and Embers and, also, “I’m working on my next music video. That’s where my immediate attention is.” “But beyond that, I hope to do some shows, get over some of my fears and inspire others to face their fears and get over them.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||

https://facebook.com/miaragomusic/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qPjJewS6IkwKhD3oJAZKQ https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mia-rago/1431625028 https://miarago.com/ https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mia-rago/1431625028 With bass, bongo, snare and guitar, indie pop singer-songwriter Mia Rago pulls you into her trippy, boppin’ little alt-pop love-gone-wrong song “The Shower.” And, it has a touch of the operatic, as Mia plays with her classically trained voice and invites the listener to come play with her in the debris left from a breakup. “The Shower” releases on August 9. “It is playful,” she said. “Lyrically, it feels like one big run-on sentence, just the thoughts going through your head, like, ‘What happened? What did I do? What did he do? What did they do wrong?’ All this stuff that makes you feel absolutely crazy with a breakup.” From the start of this affair we were 25 years young And now I’m starting to regret what I said when I thought You’re the one who always called The only man of the hour And I still just can’t believe I think about you It will be the second song to be released from her upcoming album — her debut — Wishing We Could Dream. More singles from the album are coming. The finished project, with 11 tracks, will drop early next year. The music video for “The Shower” will be released August 19. “I had some fun with the music video, too, like, stuff you do post breakup. You know, eating ice cream. Or just crying. But making it kind of fun instead of depressing and sad. I wanted it to be upbeat, musically, and I feel like we did, me and my producer, Megan McCormick.” With the two singles from the album out this year, she is resuming a career path she started with the release of a five-track EP, A Sea of Darkness, in 2020. The pandemic and completing her degree in music interrupted. “The pandemic did hit right as I was releasing my EP, and then I was in school up until 2022 getting my bachelor’s in music for vocal performance. That was my degree for opera.” Her post-college work as an operatic soprano includes performances of Puccini and Verdi in Italy and singing in master classes and coaching work. She has sung baroque-, classical-, romantic- and modern-era roles. But her road to 2024 and the beginnings of a serious music career began with a diagnosis of scoliosis at age 9 and surgery to correct it at 10. The titanium rods permanently in her back and a long, painful recovery ruled out the sports and physical activity she had loved. Music became, as she says in her bio, the only thing she could rely on. And, in another twist, she grew up in the funeral home owned by her parents, who also owned a cemetery. “Although some people might think it’s very depressing to grow up around that, I feel like I have tried to appreciate life because I understand how short life is. And although I do like the darkness of some of my songs, I try to highlight a lightness or a playfulness, like in ‘The Shower.’” Then there is the fact that, around the house, Papa sang Frank Sinatra and Mama loved Elvis. “I think of myself as an old soul,” she said. “I really love the older music, and I try to incorporate some of that stuff and some of that writing into my songs.” If some darkness is inevitable in her music, it comes in music that is beautiful and versatile. The five songs on her EP, for instance, have country, “Rose,” a song with an orchestral vibe, “Tension,” a rockish entry in “Alive,” and the very slow, moody, contemplative “Serendipity.” “Gone” is an upbeat tempo track that tells a story that is mysterious, ambiguous and chilling. Did she disappear or was she disappeared? All are beautiful listening. Mia Rago has a gorgeous voice, which she knows how to use and clearly loves to play with. The first track she released this year, “All of My Scars,” a song about her scoliosis, is an alt-pop ballad of catharsis. All of my scars, all of my tears Gave me my pain and brought me here The stronger my spine, my body and soul Made up of bones with metal I’m whole “I think ‘All of My Scars’ was very therapeutic for me,” she said. “I got diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 9, and to try to process that as a 9-year-old and then having the surgery when I was 10 — it was not really possible for me to do, and I ended up processing it years later.” The years since A Sea of Darkness has been like a period of “research and development.” Going forward, she wants to develop — as long as I can — both her career in opera and in alt-pop. “My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between my more indie-pop, alternative stuff and opera. They’re more closely related than we think. I incorporate opera in some of my performances, and I feel that, especially on ‘The Shower,’ in the chorus, I was able to highlight some of my vocal training.” Still, she says “indie music is a lot more freeing than classical.” “There’s more rules in classical, and it’s more of a challenge, which is what I like about it, but it is fun to be able to experiment.” Fans can only benefit from following her as she creates her bridge.

Make sure to stay connected to Sasha Friedman on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts @officialsashf. Distrokid: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sashafriedman/free-to-be-me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialsashf/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3wnCUxssEVAq0mjGnOSpav? si=8X6yYYZSSNmR8MPKPFqB8A Eleven-year-old singer, recording artist, and cancer survivor, Sasha Friedman is here to tell the world that happiness is for everyone—and not reserved only for memorable events. Her new pop single, “Free to Be Me,” is an upbeat, vibrant song that reminds listeners to be themselves and find the joy in life, no matter what comes their way. Released on June 9, 2023, “Free to Be Me” debuted at #7 on iTunes Pop Charts within the first 24 hours of its release. Compassionate and caring, Sasha Friedman is driven to spread messages to help everyone around her. “I want people to be happy even when they’re sad, hurt, or broken. I want them to know they can be happy every day, not just on special occasions.” This compassion led Sasha to record a song that’s not only relatable but meaningful, too. Sasha’s purpose is about “being true to yourself and living your dream.” Her music is an outlet for spreading happiness and positivity. “Free to Be Me” is a collaboration between Sasha and her production and writing team. “I came up with the story, and they came up with the lyrics and beat,” explains Sasha of the writing process. “Then I asked them to change the words and improve it in my own way. It’s so fun to make music. I get to enjoy making it and watch my music grow.” Life hasn’t always been kind to Sasha Friedman, yet she continues to show us all what it means to find the silver lining and keep going. At age 10, Sasha began feeling a neck pain that led to the discovery of a massive tumor that revealed metastic Ewing sarcoma, a bone cancer that spread to her neck, arms, legs, and lungs. No child should ever have to face the physical and emotional pain of cancer. Sasha did so with grace and resilience. She turned to music to transcend the pain and loneliness of the hospital where she underwent a major surgery and chemotherapy. Fast forward to today—Sasha is in remission and excited to spend time doing what she loves: creating heartwarming music and sharing meaningful messages through her art. Sasha’s passion for music began from a very young age—in fact, she began to sing around the same time she learned to speak. As she grew older, she found inspiration in artists such as Queen. When she began writing music, Sasha often turned to the themes of self-worth and resilience in honor of her personal experiences and consideration for others. By the time she turned nine, Sasha caught the attention of producers Cory and Julia Shuman of Little Bird Big Sound. With the help of Cory and Julia, Sasha began recording music, leading up to the release of her first single, “Free to Be Me.” Sasha is excited to grow her music and continue to hone her skills. “I play a lot of instruments, but I want to try making my own beat or tune. I think it’s cool to make up your own. Music made me happy even on days when I was being poked and prodded—when I listened to music, it took me away from the hospital to somewhere else, somewhere where I felt free. I want to help people dealing with hard times to feel like that, too. I want to make people happy.” Through her music and story, Sasha Friedman hopes to raise awareness for all the hospital patients who are undergoing similar experiences, whether fighting cancer or undergoing a major surgery. “Everyone goes through a hard time. I think and hope my music will help them get through it. I want to help make people happy even in the hardest of times.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||

Benard and songwriter Kenna Page, is an incredible new version of “Take A Number,” said to be the dating anthem for this summer. Adding C4. Benard to the Remix provides a fun twist with a male perspective. The song is Livvy D’s pop-country-rap-version of what she calls “the weird world of dating.” “‘Take a Number’ is a fun song everybody can relate to,” she says. “It’s also about the end of a bad relationship, or a few bad relationships I’ve been in, and how I’m better off without them anyway.” The Remix features rappers C4. Benard in a hip hop-rap-pop dialogue of two sides —his and hers — to the dating scene. “It’s his perspective, her perspective,” she said, “but they’re not against each other. The listener is going to be the one who determines how they interpret the song.” “Take a Number” was co-written by Aben Eubanks, a Grammy-nominated musician, songwriter, composer and producer. He is a guitarist and songwriter for Kelly Clarkson. In the original release, earlier this year, the song was “more the woman’s perspective,” said Livvy D. That version switches back and forth from pop to rap and came with the country flavor that infuses the Remix. Both renditions are light-hearted, creative versions of the love-gone-bad song. Her unique style was influenced by the music of Cardi B, Doja Cat, and Lizzo because, she said, “They wholeheartedly believe in their music, and their message conveys power to their audience, something I also hope to do.” She grew up listening to all kinds of music, beginning in the womb, when her mother put headphones on her belly to feed classical music to her unborn daughter. Livvy D, just launching her career as a singing artist, is working with a powerhouse team. Producer and writer Eric “EJ” Johnson has worked for more than 15 years with many Universal Music and Atlantic Records artists as well as major independent artists across the country. Her songs are recorded and mixed at Tom Weir’s Studio City Sound in Los Angeles. Weir is a Grammy-winning mixer, engineer and producer who has made it to No. 1 on the Billboard list. She takes inspiration from everyday life and expresses different facets of her identity in each of her songs. Livvy D was raised on a horse farm in rural Virginia. Riding horses, dancing and making music have always been parts of her life. She has also been interested in fashion, and as a child put together her own home fashion shows and choreographed dance routines. One of her recent releases, “Gucci,” is a rap banger that she calls “a tribute to the designer life.” “Boujee from birth,” she says, using a regional term to describe something upscale and luxurious. It is an apt description of her brand, evident in her videos. She says she can be found as easily on a horse as “on a shopping spree, chilling at a swank L.A. hotel or in the studio.” She says she wants to inspire her fans to “embrace their individuality and creativity.” “Be yourself, be authentic and creative, and have fun,” she said. “Be you, not who everyone else thinks you should be, and always believe in yourself, even when people tell you otherwise. Be strong. Be kind. Be creative. Be inspired. Be different. Be you.” Connect to Livvy D on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

The lyrical tone is neither bitter nor mournful. It is simply what happened, and it is all the more compelling as a song because of that. The music magnifies the matter-of- factness, the electronic piano tones carrying the story along like a raft on a river, light drums providing emphasis. “It’s true. It is, really. It’s my pain, it’s what I went through in a two- or three-year span,”said SK. They fouled me wen they hit me with dat body yea Stick’n’ to the code of staying silent yea He was charged with first-degree murder, facing a death penalty, basically because he followed the street code of silence out of loyalty to a friend. He was jailed for almost two years before being exonerated.“It’s true. Every bar, bar for bar, every bar is pain,” he said. “Bar for bar is release though. I released a lot of stuff, a lot of pain, a lot of stress, a lot of agony on to that record.” The “I Need Somebody” video is framed as a counseling session at the beginning, then fflashes back and forth to other scenes as he tells his story. My first child was born while I was in that cell Praying for them better days and waiting on that bail I lost my momma while I was lock and stuck up in that jam They just don’t know that broke my soul His mother died shortly before he was released. During this time, he turned to substance abuse, and that’s in the song, too. So is blessing: My sister answer global tel like when u coming home My nephew nieces said they love me and they miss me so They just don’t know that blessed my soul His involvement with music predates his legal troubles, which ended late last year, but since then he has begun making a musical career with “Way2Real, House of Kings” in his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina. “I Need Somebody,” released earlier this year, was his first. It has racked up more than half a million streams on Spotify alone. His second release, “Free Big Slime,” has more than 150,000, and he has more than a hundred thousand monthly listeners. His music began when he was young. “I grew up in a Christian home, so you know it was gospel, but in my mom’s house Saturday was the cleanup day. The whole house, top to bottom.” While they were working, they listened to music, but not just hip hop and rap. “We listened to reggae — which I love, it’s one of my favorite genres — we listened to reggae, we listened to rock, we listened to pop. All that. My mother’s thing was, ‘You’re not just going to listen to this rap and this hippity hop thing. You’re going to listen to everything.’ That’s what she used to call it, ‘hippity hop.’” It was a well-rounded musical education, he said, that “grounded” him. “It helped me know how to do music — period. it helped me understand music and helped my versatility.” His first two songs are this hippity hop thing, but, he said, “I am very versatile. When it comes to SK, you won’t know exactly what you’ll get, but you know you’ll get greatness. I don’t want to label myself as just a hip hop artist. I don’t want to just label myself as just an R&B artist, or pop. I just want to be an icon. I want to be there and just make good music. That’s my goal, what I see in my career.” With Way2Real, SK says, he has a great team behind him, as well as a sister organization to the label, House of Kings, a ministry that helps keep him on the straight road.We’re taking this serious. I’m taking this serious. This is something I want to do in my life.”Plans for the near- to medium-term include more songs, more videos (Way2Real has its own YouTube channel), an EP or album, and making music in other genres in addition to hip hop, including reggae, R&B, rock, and more. “I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for God, man. That’s a fact, and, you know, that’s one thing about SKGLIZZI is I’m going speak the truth. I’m gonna speak. I’m ready to get it going to the next level.

If they’re breathing... count us in.”We like to think of Valley of Grey as your quintessential pop-rock song,” said Bob Dougherty, co-founder of the band and co-writer of the band’s music. “It’s a soaring anthem. It’s got riveting solos, infectious hooks but enough heavy guitars to make you tingle in your nether regions.” The band has been together for several years and had released 18 songs on their YouTube channel and all streaming platforms before the pandemic put plans to launch their live show on hold. Along with all the world-wide releases and official lyric videos to all the songs, they released an official music video shot at the famous beaches in Malibu with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean. Where Are You Tonight, featuring actress Rai Quartley, includes intriguing studio-shot scenes to go along with an enticing story line. Already reaching over half-million views, the video can be seen on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUg56nAAJfs. The song has also been in regular rotation on nine national radio stations. The band’s catalog, written by Dougherty and Track, was mostly recorded during a period of several years leading up to 2020 at which time Sensaround was gearing up for live performances. Then the pandemic hit, and the strategy, said Bob, was to “just hole myself up seven days a week and practice my chops on rhythm guitar. We felt it would be as practical as it would be commercially-viable adding the singer- songwriter look to the band. A lead singer without an instrument in his hand seemed outdated to us. We saw a chance to turn a negative into a positive. It felt as though the universe hit pause on life, so I resolved to come out of it with a new skill and we felt that the band would make a better impression with the lead singer handling electric rhythm guitar parts.” Since the pandemic ended, “The priority of the last couple of years has been to get the live show tight,” said Alex Track, co-founder, co-writer and drummer of the band. “It’s a blessing to be in a band with such incredible players. It’s a gift, not only to be in a band with zero egos, but to have the members be such great friends and great people in general. If this project was any more fun, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.” Bob got into music and guitar through a youthful infatuation with U2, REM and Oasis, but didn’t become an actual performer until he left a career in video editing and was hired onto the Disney Wonder Cruise ship. After that, he took the job of entertainer at the Club Med vacation village in Cancun, which involved physical comedy but also solo acoustic guitar sets at the main bar. “It sharpened my skills and flamed my passion for music,” he said. Club Med is where he met Alex, and that introduction was the genesis of Sensaround. With world-renowned symphony and choral conductor Gerhard Track and Beethoven Piano Competition winner Micaela Maihart-Track as parents, it was no surprise that Alex Track grew up performing in a number of orchestras, choirs and bands. Taking first place at the Tri-State Music Festival piano competition, Track's passion turned to drums and percussion. Graduating with honors with a Masters of Music Degree from the Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, Austria, Alex went on to become CEO of Track Entertainment in Los Angeles. After attending MIT in Hollywood, Track has been involved in all aspects of the music industry in Los Angeles from scoring pictures to composing, arranging, recording, mixing, mastering and producing records. Track’s exceptional skills were recognized when he won a Grammy Award in 2007. “My grandfather was a very popular entertainer. The Bob Hope of Europe, if you will and my father was an expert at winning crowds over with intermittent humor during breaks between classical pieces at concerts he conducted throughout his career. Taking advantage of Bob’s natural sense of humor and likability, it’s heart-warming for me to see that spirit of entertainment included in our show. For my part, it feels like we’re carrying on a family tradition.” Nate Gignac, guitar and vocals, won many competitions at piano festivals in Canada, then, according to his bio, as a teenager “picked up guitar and never looked back.” He studied at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood. He has toured with various rock bands over most of the United States and Mexico. Max Pierce, bass and vocals, has 20 years’ experience as a professional bass player, playing in live band situations, doing session work at recording studios, and performing in musical theater. He performs for the Los Angeles theater company For The Record, and music that he wrote has been featured on the NBC show Parenthood. The band sums up all that passion, talent, skill and experience in its official bio. Their music, it says, comes “from a place of earnest, raw sincerity for people who long for the return of real instruments and hand-carved music that is meant to inspire and take the listener through every possible emotion.” As far as the name of the band is concerned, Bob and Alex came up with a plan to write down names that would fit the band. Bob had already written down dozens of names while Alex hadn’t come up with one. One day, out of the blue, Alex excitedly told Bob that he had a name for the band. His first and only name for the list, but explained that he saw the name in a dream, up in lights like on a big venue. Alex immediately researched the name. The name “Sensurround” was the patented name for the surround sound system built to shake seats in a movie theater back in the day. When articles were written on the subject, people inadvertently spelled it “Sensaround.” The slogan was: Sound so powerful that you not only hear it, you feel it. Being that’s how Alex felt the listener will feel when hearing their music, the name made “sense”. Randomly seeing it in a dream, that vividly, they didn’t want to challenge fate. Sensaround was born. The focus now is on live performances. They made their debut in May this year and have two more shows scheduled for September on the L.A. club venue circuit: September 7th at The Universal Bar and Grill on Lankershim Blvd. in Universal City and September 22nd at The Mint on Pico Blvd. in Mid City Los Angeles. They are also working out the details to perform at other famous LA venues, the Whisky A Go Go, The Roxy Theatre, the Troubadour and The Viper Room to start. “We have a strong catalogue,” said Bob. “We’ve got over 20 songs that are radio ready. The hope is to build a fan base by playing out consistently. First and foremost, it will be interesting to see the response of a crowd at a live venue. I am excited to find out if they will be throwing their underwear on stage or fire rotten tomatoes at us.” Connect with Sensaround on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts. “Valley Of Grey,” Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6j7sQM4pO8iYK92TlS0Jw8?si=81c823897f044c45&nd=1 “ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||
| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 38 Crazy 8 | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:09:38 | |
Rapper Crazy8 Drops Fresh Rap “Lost” By: Nadia Sobehart New Jersey rapper, Crazy8 shows the world that passion and talent can exist behind bars. During his incarceration, the rapper has been working on fresh music to share with listeners all over. His latest track, “Lost,” is a reflection of losing loved ones and facing the hardship that goes hand-in-hand with unfathomable loss. “The song came up one day during a time I had just lost my dad and then a sister,” explains the rapper. “It all came together into something. I was going through that and then it all built up and I kept saying the word ‘lost’ and turned it into a song.” When it came to writing the song, Crazy8 struggled at first. “I was trying to come up with the beat, but it wasn’t clicking.” Through repetition and letting the song develop organically, the rapper was able to tune into the feeling and complete his rap. Through word of mouth, Crazy8’s raps started to spread through the community. “I shared it with my brother and then others wanted to hear what I was writing. They started telling others about it and it spread.” “I want lots of people to relate to it—especially those who lost people,” adds Crazy8. Creating music isn’t just his calling in life—it’s a way to give back and share commonalities with other people. He also believes in speaking his mind: “I never try to be someone I’m not.” Music has been a long journey for the rapper. A fan of Lil Wayne and DMX, Crazy8 began rapping around age 6. He accompanied his uncle to the studio and played around with music whenever he could. Unfortunately, life took an unexpected turn. Somewhere along the road, Crazy8 pushed aside his passion for music and caved to the street life. No stranger to incarceration—many in his circle had ended up there—Crazy8 wasn’t afraid of the consequences of his chosen path. His passion for rap resurfaced when he found himself incarcerated, wondering what his talents were at that point in life. It was then that he began writing again, creating notebook after notebook of raps across various genres. “I like to switch it up. Because different people relate to different things,” says the rapper. Passionate about drill/love in particular, the rapper is open-minded to exploring his unique sound. One of his current projects is called K.F.C., which stands for “Kids Fighting Cancer.” The idea is inspired by the thought that life may be hard in prison or on the streets, but no one faces a harder time than a child going through cancer treatment. With years ahead of him in prison life, Crazy8 looks forward to what he can achieve during and after his time locked up. “I can rap about anything I put my mind to,” shares Crazy8. In fact, the rapper is looking forward to sharing more songs this year. Alongside his producer, based in California, Crazy8 is working on more content to release in the near future. One project is his mix tape, “23 and 1,” coming out at the end of the month. “I want people to tune in and understand my music and relate to it. If anyone would like to know anything, I’m an open book,” adds the artist. “Find me on social.” Make sure to stay connected to Crazy8 on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

https://www.amazon.com/Silas-Monday PUrchase today Johnny Newell D.O.B 03/12/1963, Author, Christian Counselor, Master Life Coach, Minister, Photographer. Dad to Amanda, John, Daniel, Rachel, and two bonus Children Josh and Delray. Papaw to John Wesley, Noah, Ethan, Jonah, Amelia, and Addy. Hi, I’m Johnny Newell, I am a sixty-year-old Spina Bifida survivor, (God delivered me from it) baby of the family and only son of Johnnie T. and Josie Newell. Papa was born in 1899 and was 63 when I was born and mama was 40. Mama had a stroke while delivering me and was never the same afterwards. I was born with Spina Bifida, but few knew what that was in the early and mid 60’s, I was mis-diagnosed as having Polio at one point and the word spread through our little town like wildfire! I remember that people feared us because Polio was contagious (but only through contact with that person’s fecal matter) I remember that we would be in town on Saturday and people would see us coming and walk on the side of the street because they thought I was contagious! They would call us “White trash and curse us too. When I was 10, I went to Shriner’s hospital for crippled Children in Shreveport La. Where they too mis-diagnosed me, this time as having Cerebral Palsy, but they did some corrective surgery that changed my life. I was left with a noticable limp but that pretty much took care of my mobility issues, most importantly I wasn’t contagious anymore! Mama taught me to read when I was 3 and since we lived 27 miles from nowhere, by the time I was 6 I had read everything we had to read, so I started to write. Because of how my mama brought those characters in the Bible and the classics to life, writing came easy for me because I knew each and every Character in my stories, right down to their shoe size! I knew what they looked like the sound of their voices, even how their perfume smelled. I got my call to preach when I was 13 but I ran from it because I was ashamed of being poor. All the preachers I knew had good clothes, cars and homes. I had none of this, I was just a poor “White trash”boy that lived in a shack at the bottom of hill on a dead-end road 27 miles from nowhere. But God, sought me out and told me to write! On hot summer day my wife Katrina was sharing an interesting story with me about how slave owners used to misuse the Bible to keep the slaves in line. As she commented on how wrong this was, a story was unfolding in my mind about a Mammoth of a man who hated everyone black and white alike became one of the greatest preachers of his time and thus “Silas Monday” was born!Cre Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 34 Masque | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:30:06 | |
Hawaii-based singer-songwriter, Masque, creates music that not only represents his experiences as a gay man—it flourishes because of them. His experimental rock-pop album, Masqued Emotions (Deluxe) is an anthology of sound from hard rock to lighthearted pop that is sure to speak to listeners across the board. “Masqued Emotions is a collection of highs and lows dealing with mental health issues and experiences as a gay man across my life that I’ve compiled,” shares Masque. It’s inspired by people who shared similar stories (and Lady Gaga, too).” The 13-song album features the single “Sunhat.” “The single, ‘Sunhat,’ is a more lighthearted part of the album,” shares the artist. “It focuses on when I do feel joy in life. It’s important to highlight when things are going well in the face of darkness.” Overall, the album explores the lightness and darkness of the human experience. “The main message I want to share with listeners is that there will be tough times and struggles but also good times to live through,” adds Masque. Other tracks on the album include “Take It Off,” “Shame,” “No More You,” and “Microtrauma (Every Day),” all very distinct songs with their own style. To write the album, Masque focused on his tried-and-true writing process. “I usually start with the lyrics,” shares the artist. “I’ll write out the topic I want to write about. Then I’ll give it a day or so and rewrite the lyrics, make sure they rhyme and are more subtle. When I’m satisfied, I’ll start with the melody, beats, and guitar using sheet music. From there, I’ll refine my lyrics and practice singing the song, changing words here and there until I have a demo I’m pleased with. I’ll send that to my producer and we’ll talk about it. He enjoys adding his own touch to what I send him, so the final cut can really vary.” From an early age, Masque trained in classical piano performance and writing. He was a Queen aficionado and gradually expanded his musical palette from rock to pop (and many genres in between). By the time he was in high school, the young Masque grew in love with the spotlight, performing in his school musicals. Over the years, Masque found himself settled into the corporate world, where he never quite felt at home. “I found a bubbling desire to break out into the music industry and focus on my art,” tells the artist. When the pandemic began in 2020, he took a leap of faith and focused on music as a full-time singer. These days, he continues to perform frequently at live venues. “Live performances versus studio performances produce different songs,” explains Masque. “It’s the same song and melody but a different feeling. Live performances are about interaction and including the audience, having them feel your music in the moment.” As he focuses on spreading the message of Masqued Emotions, Masque continues to work on new songs for his next album. “Right now, I am small, but my promise to myself and my listeners is that I will continue to make music and grow for the rest of my life.” Make sure to stay connected to Masque on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 33 Rebel ACA | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:31:22 | |
London-based hip-hop artist, podcaster, DJ, and loquacious individual, Rebel ACA is a charismatic force to be reckoned with. His latest collaboration, the single “Mygraine” with dancehall powerhouse Spragga Benz and UK icon Rodney P., is not to be missed. Rebel ACA’s music can be found at the intersection of old school and new. Versatile yet distinctly personal, his sound is characterized by live instrumentation and a funk influence. His latest single explores the pain of daily migraines mixed with the double-entendre by Spragga Benz and Rodney Pl. of “my grain of weed,” all set to vintage 80s French-influence vibes. The single comes in two versions: the original “Old Cool Funk” hip-hop version and the drum and bass mix by DJ Phantasy. “The hip-hop version is funky, in your face,” tells the artist. “Meanwhile, the drummer base has old-school, funky hip-hop vibes; it’s eclectic.” A music video, directed by Big Ben Bro, is also part of the multi-dimensional package. Rebel ACA’s professional endeavors range from a white-collar day job to moonlighting as a rapper, producer, and podcaster. His resume boasts collaborations with artists including Spragga Benz, Rodney P., Harry Shotta, Doc Brown, Murat and Jose, and Illaman. And did we mention Buttercut Records? He owns that, too. The single, “Mygraine,” comes from Buttercuts Records, the company Rebel ACA began in 2000. Featuring artists across various genres from hip hop to reggae, funk, and soul, Buttercut Records is home to many memorable hits, including Spragga Benz’s “Chiliagon,” a #1 reggae billboard hit in 2019. Four or five years after starting Buttercut Records, Rebel ACA turned to writing music of his own accord. “I always wrote poetry to cope with bad bullying in school and an eating disorder. When you’re on your own, all you have is a pad and a pen. There’s comfort in that. I was having a tough time when I was young and realized there’s this honesty with a pad and pen—the brutality of you sitting in front of a pad and pen.” Rebel ACA realized that carrying around his decks to DJ was understandably less convenient than sporting a pad of paper and writing utensil. And, so, it began—he slowly turned to writing rap. “By 2006, I found that the best release I could find was rapping, writing stuff down, and rapping it out.” He shifted his focus from working solely with other artists—many of whom were different to work with due to their elevated narcissism—and began creating for himself. He connected with Spragga Benz, a friend of his late sister, and put his album together. “That project got me into the studio with all of my biggest idols in British hip hop/rap. It was a terrifying experience having to rap with my idols. They did it in one take while I took 20.” Speaking of his idols—and collaborators—Rodney P. and Spragga Benz are two major musical forces of their time. “Rodney P. is an enormous figure in hip hop and an amazing rapper. Americans invented hip hop. It took decades to sound ok rapping with a British accent, and Rodney was part of that. It took time for Britain to find its sound in the shadow of America. And Spragga Benz is one of the great dancehall MCs. They are huge people in their space—full on legends.” It was also around this time that Rebel ACA realized he needed to stop being just “the business guy” and start being the confident artists that he had the potential to be. “My wife at the time said, ‘a lot of your issue is a confidence thing.’ So that’s what I’m trying to work on—not doing everyone else’s **** and being the business guy.” “I partly wrote the song with friends. Historically, I get migraines, so I thought I’d do a song about them. I’m generally trying not to rap about sex or violence. It has become popular in England—everyone rapping about American or Jamaican concepts—but it’s not very British. Rarely do we do violence outside punching each other in the face in a pub crawl. And we’re repressed about sex,” teases Rebel ACA. “It’s interesting that it’s one-dimensional, really. We’re bothered to listen to what a 19-year-old artist thinks, yet they don’t understand a lot about life yet. Then I remember that the people listening to them are also 12 or 14. I come from a place where I want rappers to talk about something more.” These days, Rebel ACA is collaborating with crew, the ADHGs, tackling important issues through hip hop. “There are so many things to be discussed,” adds the artist. “I asked ChatGPT what important issues are not being talked about in hip hop and it said ‘mental health issues.’ So, I wanted to create a simple dialogue around these issues. And migraines are a mind issue. They’re awful and a terrible infliction. All people need to do is work out their triggers. Anyone who has one has to diary what they did the day before and will find it’s manageable.” On the topic of mental health, Rebel ACA is quick to point out that “music is therapy.” “It’s strange that people give up music. Many see it as they have to make it big or they have to stop,” adds the artist. “If you’re a runner, you’re still going to run around the park to keep fit, even if you’re not as fast as Usain Bolt. Yet people don’t think that way about music. If they’re not the most popular or reach fame, they give up. You must love music to be involved. And there’s nothing like it—it’s magic. No one needs to listen to what you create but you.” Make sure to stay connected to Rebel ACA on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 32 Kayleigh Walker | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:29:29 | |
To introduce herself in the world of singers and songwriters, Kayleigh Walker has written, performed and videoed a track that lives up to its name: “Psychedelic.” Kayleigh, from Essex, England, wrote a fast moving, musical mind trip featuring powerful vocals, delightful beats, and melodies that play off and build on each other. “It’s just a real good, fun pop song,” she says. “Psychedelic” releases today. She is starting from scratch in her career as a singer-songwriter, but she is no ingenue. She is 32, and she has talent, experience, style and showmanship. All of that is on full display in the audio track, and along with that, in plain view on the video, beauty. “When I was younger, I did a lot of advertisements, and I did quite a lot of modeling, but I just wanted to sing along to every song. I’d get a bit sidetracked. And I thought, ‘You know what? This is something I want to do. I want to be a performer.’ Growing up, I would sing every song on the radio, and then went into a band when I was in my teenager years.”That experience gave her the desire to write songs, to sing her own music instead of other people’s songs. It also led to the experience with the industry that has her starting over. She signed with an independent label and found herself “doing music and writing songs that didn’t really feel comfortable with me.” “I’ve done everything that needs to be done, from writing a whole album, to being promised that it’s going to be released, to have good marketing behind it, and to then see it going down into a black hole. Overnight.” It was, she said, “devastating,” but, she continued, “I don’t like to talk about the past. It’s not about the present, right?” And that is how she comes to be starting over. “It’s made me stronger,” she said, “and it’s made me think I can do this by myself. I don’t need other people to tell me what I can and what I can’t do, because this is my music. It’s finding that inner self, and that inner belief, which made me write ‘Psychedelic.’” When music is your life, You’re on a psychedelic high. It’s the perfect song for starting over, joyful and defiant at the same time. Turn the lights down low, Ready for the after show, … Never coming down, never coming down “And I was like, ‘You know what? It doesn’t matter. I’m going to start all over again.’ And that’s what I did.” She highlights how fortunate she has been to find people who support her, people who believe in her and will back her up, get her in the studio and make her video. The video was directed by Eline Powell with production and post-production by The Lennox Brothers. Powell, the Belgian actress who played Ryn in the TV series “Siren,” is also a featured player in the video. Lee and Wayne Lennox have made videos for Robbie Williams and Ellie Goulding. Kayleigh has been writing songs, music and lyrics, for several years, developing the musical style that “feels right for me, and being true to myself as an artist.” She calls what she does “alternative’’ because it has pop, rock, jazz, “a little bit of everything.” “So, alternative. Yeah.” She has three songs ready to go, another in her mind and an album in her plans. “I’ve always loved music,” she said. “I’ve always enjoyed performing. I love writing, I love being in the studio. I just couldn’t imagine doing anything else. This is part of me, and I’m going to show to you, to the world, that I don’t give up. You open one door to another door. Life is like a trip, you know? You don’t know what’s gonna happen.” In the middle of the bridge to “Psychedelic,” where Kayleigh is chanting “trip trip trip trip,” a male voice interjects, beween one “trip” and the next, “Are you there, Kayleigh?” “Trip trip trip trip,” Kayleigh continues for another couple of bars, then, “I’m here.” “Psychedelic” is the door opening to her new journey.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 31 Vonta | 01 Aug 2023 | 00:13:03 | |
Hip hop and soul-inspired singer, Vonta Lawrence, fuses religion with urban music in her latest single, “In The Need of Prayer.” “I’m inspired by all genres of music—techno, reggae, gospel—I listen to real music. And themmusic I’m creating has each style in it,” shares Vonta Lawrence. “In The Need of Prayer” begins with a gospel choir before introducing Lawrence’s plead to a higher being, “It’s me, Lord,singing in the need of prayer.” The upbeat single is reminiscent of 90s hip hop with a gospel flair and modern production. “In The Need of Prayer” came to Lawrence off the top of her head when she entered the studio.My producer had a beat and I went in to see what to do with it and came out with the single,” tells the artist.For Vonta Lawrence, music, like life, is about having purpose. “My purpose is to spread light in the darkest places to help others who are oppressed. I am also a visionary. I want to help others find their own access to God so they, too, can learn their purpose in helping the kingdom of God on earth. We all have a purpose.” Born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan, the musician turned to religion seven years ago in a life- changing moment. “I was saved by God,” explains Vonta Lawrence. “I love music because it is a way for me to create while telling the truth about the things of God to my generation.” Music runs deep in Lawrence. From her pre-teen years, Lawrence has been singing and performing in choirs, recording studios, and talent shows. Vonta Lawrence holds her spirituality close to her. “’In The Need of Prayer’ is about communicating with God no matter what path you are on. It is also a call for others to pray for me as I walk my spiritual journey,” adds the artist. “I just want to heal my generation from depression, suicide, and anxiety through sound healing,” shares Lawrence. “I want my listeners to focus on things above and not below when listening to my music. It’s a mixture of God and culture. I believe if we can change our thoughts, it will reflect in our reality.” This spring, Lawrence is looking forward to sharing more music with listeners. With seven songs ready to go and another coming out in March, the year is off to a strong start for the singer. She is also open to the next great collaboration. “I want to go further and play more concerts,” she adds. “I’m just dedicated to changing the world. We have so much bad in the world, we need to focus on the positive things we overlook sometimes.” Make sure to stay connected to Vonta Lawrence on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 28 JIMMY YITTY | 25 Jul 2023 | 00:35:27 | |
Canadian Rapper Jimmy Yitty has long been perfecting his craft. With insightful lyricism layered over eye-catching beats, his music is easy to get lost in. Most recently Yitty has been preparing for the release of his newest album, a project titled It Feels Like Hell and working his way into the American Market. In doing so, he is sharing two singles to get fans excited. The first single, “Finesse Demons”, was released earlier this year and “Bleach”, the final teaser before the full release, has just come out. “Bleach” delves into Yitty’s introspective journey, with lyrics that explore complexities of personal growth, struggle, and overcoming adversity. It tells the story of a failed relationship, filled with lies and deception. This single expands upon how it feels to go through a relationship with so much mistrust. When there are so many things fighting against you, all that’s left is to concentrate on what is the most important to you. “It’s about focusing on your goals and not giving up until you get there,” he said. Yittty hopes that his fans take the time to really listen to this track. “I think the contents of this song can be really relatable,” he said. “We all have relationships in our lives that aren’t as fully trusting as we want them to be.” The song is meant to be something that many can find solace or community in. Be sure to keep an eye out for familiar feelings when listening to “Bleach”. Following the release of “Bleach”, Yitty is excited to share the full release of his new album It Feels Like Hell. The upcoming album blends the feelings that he expanded upon in his most recent single with the pain of losing a close friend. “I recently lost a friend to gun violence and this album is really focusing on that and melding it with my experience in past relationships.” While parts of this project are heart wrenching, it is still filled with emotion and complexity. There is sure to be something in it for everyone. As he finishes up the release of It Feels Like Hell, Yitty is looking forward to connecting more with his American community. Though he has already found a home in the Atlanta and New York scene, there is always room for more. He is already gearing up for his next US trip and can’t wait to continue expanding his network and continue growing his fan base in the states. Be sure to stay tuned in to Jimmy Yitty on various platforms for new music, visuals and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 27 LYNEZ | 25 Jul 2023 | 00:28:18 | |
“Keef Yards,” says its creator, Lynez, is not a place. It’s a state of mind, “like an answer or retort” to questions understood around and among people about meaning, history and change to the culture.“You can smell it a mile away,” he said. “Keef Yards,” the song, is about life, with Lynez delivering a series of messages with the bass rap and beat layered onto a blues background. The span of the lyrics is laid out in the opening lines:You say life’s precious, cherish every breath Can’t remember your first, don’t want to see your last I don’t want to see you hurt, but I don’t want to see you laugh “It’s a good record,” said Lynez, “very classic, a good perceptive theme. Nothing from the norm. It's a dope record.” He has, he said, “a lot of space for understanding” about changing times and people and music “It's about, like, sensing things sometimes when things get foul on the street, especially when things change and you don't know where to go, when you're trying to move together and work together and appreciate each other for the kind of values of the culture and your beliefs.” Lynez has been making music since he was 15, but got out of it when, at age 28, his son was born. The son is now 10, and Lynez is getting back into music seriously, looking to create more, get into performing and making his extensive catalog of music available online. He wants not only to make a living at it, but to honor the traditions and practice of rap. Punchline was about punch lines, comparisons, charisma. Lyrical skill and talent became less valuable when, in the early 2000s, rap became more serious, with more prophecy and politics, he said. “I didn’t do that. I didn’t have prophecy or philosophy. I just had some dope rhymes. I would just rap round my friends. I’d be out there in the street and talk to the people.” Which doesn’t mean it was without meaning or was not involved with life and people’s experiences of life. “But, you know, the essence of hip hop was always about dope rhymes. So, for punchline rappers, that was the state of meaning, understanding that not only you have to have talent, you would automatically include anything serious that might be involved in hip hop or rhyming in MC. It’s a serious thing for everybody.” So, some 20 years later, “no one really gets into punchline rap.” Rap in general got “back to its essence,” but with more emphasis on lyrical skill. “Rhymes are more complex, and much more sincere nowadays, and it’s much more appreciated. Punchline rapping will always stay vivid, compared to most, but punchline rap is definitely destined for destruction.” As rap has grown more serious and meaningful, so has Lynez the father. He is rapping now for his family and for his messages. “I know that there’s a message in a bottle for everyone. That’s one of those sayings that are out there.” “I’m not just for the entertainment. I have a lot of beliefs, also, so, I’m sharing a lot of views and showing a lot of things for relativity.” He is rapping his messages of competence in life, understanding, and relevance, especially for youth. He is now working on “Messages to Arkane,” getting the visuals ready to go out. “It’s a morality thesis about black-on-black crime. This history tends to repeat itself.” A website is coming soon, but stay connected to Lynez for his music, old and new.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 25 Lovince McKenzie | 16 Jul 2023 | 00:28:30 | |
Lovince Mckenzie is a musician who has been exploring the world of Afro Beat for the better part of the last ten years, floating back and forth between this passion and his work in the film and Entertainment world, he has had the opportunity to work with people across the industry. Most recently Lovince Mckenzie has been making headway with his music, focusing on standing out as an Afrobeat artist to watch out for with origins from Kenya. Lovince Mckenzie’s new track “I Know You Know” is a project that blends his East African Heritage with the style of Nigerian Afrobeat Sounds and the visual aesthetics of the American West. Reminiscent of the hit track “Calm Down” by Nigerian singer Rema, the song is brilliant and easy to listen to. “I Know You Know” is a song about connecting with someone you love. “It’s about when someone knows you so well that you don’t even have to tell them what's going on,” he explained. “They just understand you.” The song praises this kind of relationship and the beauty that comes out of knowing your partner so intimately. Because Lovince Mckenzie is so heavily focused on cultivating collaboration and connecting his own work with other cultures, it is easy to see how “I Know You Know” blends his personal background with the West African culture of Afro Beat. “I actually went to Nigeria to record the song,” he said. “And then I went to Albuquerque, New Mexico to film the video with Daniel Zollinger of Sweetascinema, it is really a blend of all of these different amazing and rich cultures.” Along with this drive to connect culture, Mckenzie is also hard at work to provide East African representation to the Afro Beat community. “So many East Africans love this music,” he said. “But we really don’t have many notable Afrobeat musicians coming from that region. It feels like a space that I can fill.” Mckenzie is doing just this, in making a name for himself and creating music that is simply incredible. Following the release of “I Know You Know”, Mckenzie is excited about a collection of upcoming projects. Fans can look forward to another new project that is set to release in August of 2023 and can keep an eye out for some of Mckenzie ’s upcoming collaborations and video releases. “I’ve got a lot of performances coming up this year,” he said. “I am really excited to be working with some friends to get some things done in the US, UK as well as back in Africa. There are a lot of shows and festivals in my future.” Be sure to stay tuned in to Lovince Mckenzie on various platforms for new music, visuals and social posts.

The combination pop/alternative pop instrumentation and playful lyrics full of quirky rhymes makes even a song with a title like “My Darling Human Condition,” or “The Tenuous Affair,” a song about the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, not only interesting but fun. “I had a lot of fun creating it this year,” said Sam, who since 2017 has put out an album a year, mostly in a style he calls “transcendental techno vox.” The vox is still there in The Republic, in his play with harmonizing vocals, but this year he did something different. “I wanted to take as organic an approach as possible, trying to create some original instrumentation, combining different instruments and creating a different motif than I’ve done in the past.” “Linear,” for instance, a song about transcendence, a poppy tune with a swinging, rocking kind of beat with organ, brass, keyboards and something like a marimba or xylophone. I’m gonna take out a policyGonna sail on that shining sea, take out a policyAin’t nothing ever free, take out a policyThe wind is blowing to the lee, don’t worry about realityFour o’clock and it’s time for teaTake out a policy “‘Linear’ is a metaphorical thing about transcendence, basically saying that, when you think about death and stuff, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a linear progression.” Or, speaking of death, “My Room,” which he almost titled “The Mausoleum,” since the nominal subject is the decay of the grave. Soft, melodic bass and crooning vocalization turn the lyrics into something to think about rather than a horror movie. My room is filled with colored lightFor this I can’t give up the fightMustiness breathes with an ugly snoreThere’s more of life lying in store “I was originally going to call that one ‘The Mausoleum.’ It’s basically about physical decomposition. I figured ‘My Room’ would be a more upbeat title.” Hobbes, the 17th-century English philosopher whose formulation of life as “nasty, brutish and short,” is the subject of “The Tenuous Affair.” Old Hobbes was speaking his mindBut he might have been unkindPardon me sir, pardon me sirYour words are making me blind The intro is a kind of high-church vocalization, as might have been heard in the England of his time, with a swinging piano beat, tambourines and bongos and, lightly, the high notes of an organ, Hobbes’ ghost, perhaps, lurking in the background. “It feeds into the transcendence thing,” he said. “I’m advocating faith in positive things as opposed to sort of the stuff that Hobbes used to write about.” “That Cat,” on the other hand, is the psychological side. “It’s about what it means to have a nervous breakdown, and how there’s really no definition of, or way to categorize a nervous breakdown,” he said. He himself had what was called a nervous breakdown when he was 19 and now works as a psych counselor. Death in the valley, screaming down the alleyThis just ain’t no birth, but it also ain’t no finaleThat cat had a nervous breakdown Set to keyboards and flute to a bump-bounce beat. “That song is basically about just using that term to label any type of problem whatsoever.” “It’s a very untechno album,” he said, but it still has his vocal harmonization and themes rooted in what he calls the “Venn diagram of spirituality and mental dysfunction.” He has relied on the spirituality and experienced the dysfunction. They inform his music. The Republic is his experiment in pop, and he says that he probably won’t return to it. His next album will be on the rock end of the spectrum. “I want to get back to more of an organic rock sound. I want to write more songs that I can perform live and get to a good, solid rock beat. That’s the goal for the next album.” Live performances are another area in which Sam is advancing his music. He has performed live weekly for about 10 months. He is performing at the Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on July 23, at the Otter River Pub in Baldwinville on July 31, the Harvard General Store in Harvard on August 9. His other scheduled appearances are on his website (link below). Another song on The Republic, the upbeat “Still Singing,” with piano, sax and Latin-vibe brass, expresses the transcendence of hope. And my ears are ringingBut I’m still singingTo all of my hopesI’m so desperately clinging “It’s an important song because it’s about maintaining hope about the future and life and maintaining a positive attitude.” His philosophy of music includes the idea of growth and positivity, and that includes growing from his audience. “I’d like more people to listen to my music and give me feedback. I have a website where people can email me, and I’d love to get some criticism, so I can work on my next album and try to create something new down the line.” Transcend with Sam Welch — Sam Welch from Boston — and connect with him on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 24 Jiminy | 16 Jul 2023 | 00:37:24 | |
Jiminy have been weaving their way through the music scene by deconstructing genre tropes and reassembling them into catchy dance songs. An international collective based in Brooklyn and led by songwriter Jimmy Harris from his experience writing Electronic, Rock, and Chamber Pop music, they have cultivated a unique and intriguing sound. This latest incarnation manifests in the macabre dance magic that is Apocalypse Dance Party, and this time around they invite their audience to dance like there is no tomorrow. With natural disasters, the pandemic, humanity at the mercy of technology, and the existential threats of nuclear war and global warming, it is understandable to feel humanity has passed the point of no return. With Apocalypse Dance Party, Jiminy has channeled these modern and age- old anxieties into a set of overlapping dance tracks. The festivities start with a devil-may-care attitude and grow progressively darker in tone and serious in subject matter. The Apocalypse Dance Party begins with a killer dance party track that does a brilliant job of representing the chaotic excitement that came from feeling like the world was coming to an end. “Conflating paradise and hell, celebration and destruction, is the point,” he said. “The visual of calamari pouring down from a tsunami is atrocious and absurd, with a hint of social satire bubbling up.”It was this idea that led Jiminy to his Apocalyptic new album. “People are endlessly fascinated by the idea of the world ending,” Jiminy said. “It’s a reflection of our collective fears, and maybe also a desire for control in an unpredictable world. I find it interesting that generations throughout recorded history have their own versions. The end of all time is a never-ending story, found in ancient mythology and prevalent in Pop Culture.” Introduced by our paradise-weary narrator, the dance set explores increasingly dark soundscapes and subjects, all guiding you towards one main idea. “What is the point of life if it’s all coming to an end? Is that where meaning is found - in the here and now? If the world were truly ending, what would you do?” The answer may just be this: scream and cheer at the same time, and dance like there is no tomorrow. In other words, if we’re going down, we’re getting down.Following the release of Apocalypse Dance Party, Jiminy is excited for two big things. The first isthe sequential release of videos to go along with each song on the album, something his audience can look forward to soon. The second is being able to take a breather and enjoy the summer. “I already have an idea on what the next album is going to look like, but I really like to let things like this simmer,” he explained. While we wait for the next exciting project to come from Jiminy, there is a collection of his earlier works to check out and a full social media to keep up with. Be sure to stay tuned in to Jiminy on various platforms for new music, visuals and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 23 Sam Welch | 16 Jul 2023 | 00:32:05 | |
Sam Welch, by design, does not do easy-listening music to create moods or feelings. The lyrics and music go need listening. He wants his audience to put some work into his songs. Though the lyrics are about thoughts — metaphysics, if you will — and deal with things like relationships, life, death and the hereafter, his music gives a wry twist that makes thinking interesting, trending toward fun. And worth the work. As an example, “Kamikaze Co-Pilot,” the single he is featuring from his new album, Last Night on Earth. Right there, in the two titles, you can see the metaphysical and the twist at work. This is Sam talking about the message, or messages, of “Kamikaze”: “I’ve defined my own philosophical interpretation of this song, and I’m calling it ‘social existentialism.’ Basically, it’s the idea that every relationship will come to an end, this idea that everybody’s on the same journey to their destiny, but that the journey in and of itself will divide us and separate us.” Sounds heavy, but the song begins with his voice, a high-register, floating, ethereal vocalization set to a ringing instrumental that rises for three notes, falls back, and drums enter with an upbeat tempo. Ten seconds later, a saxophone leads in the lyrics: Kamikaze co-pilot the future can’t come soon enough Kamikaze co-pilot well this world is getting tough Gonna fly away with you it’s the past that I rue Gonna fly away it ain’t the future that is true“I think if I had done a really, really sort of hard techno, unrelentingly loud or aggressive,it wouldn’t support the themes that I’m exploring,” said Sam. “Kamikaze co-pilot,” he pointed out, is an oxymoron. Who in their right mind would co- pilot with someone on a suicide mission? And yet, he says, human relationships and life, composed of individuals, are like that. But Last Night on Earth does not preach, it explores. His music, too, is an exploration. His previous output, which he called “transcendental techno vox,” is giving way to more melody and instrumentation and less harmonization and vocal distortion. The transcendental remains, but the techno is much reduced. Sam has begun to play with his voice and his music. One song on the album, “Man in My Mind,” could pass for a dance track. His vocals, almost entirely undoubled and undistorted, are much more prominent in each of the 11 tracks. Fewer mixed harmonies and more of his own voice have been goals “In each of these songs, I’ve provided a lead vocal melody line, a solo voice. I think I’m doing a good job of controlling the urge to just create more harmonization.” “I think every album that I do is better than the album before,” he said. “I’m always trying to improve the quality of my music, and I feel like I’ve definitely reached some new goals in terms of this album. I have worked very hard on trying to create a very organic sound that supports the very, very rich themes that I’m exploring poetically. The two things support each other.” Another goal, to produce an album each year, has been reached every year, beginning in 2017. He had several albums before that, including one called Unitarian Hymns, in 2005. He has studied piano since age 8 and received voice training at Columbia University and the Longy School of Music. He started a barbershop quartet in high school and participated in classical chorus performances and theater. At Columbia, he toured with the male a cappella group The Kingsmen. He has written and recorded music since 2001. This year, he has begun live performances. In his music, he explores “the convergence between themes of spiritual transcendence and emotional disregulation.” He knows the first through his life as a practicing Unitarian and the second from his own bouts with depression and psychosis as a young man. “‘Kamikaze Co-Pilot,’ the headliner for the album, is sort of about humanity and relationships and destiny and the misfortune of having to die, which we all do,” he said. “It’s more relationship oriented than I’ve been in the past, but still with the emphasis on transcendence and moving along.”In Last Night on Earth, consideration of relationships, transcendence, “emotional disregulation,” life, eternity, all come together, poetically, musically, playfully.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 22 Ayr Majesty | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:35:45 | |
By Kurt Beyers “She’s a Samurai,” a recently released single off AYR Majesty’s album Xenna, highlights an incredible body of work the Los Angeles artist has put out so far this year. It also shows off his trait of creating music that is “new and different.” This “Samurai” is a new version of the song that is on the album that was released earlier this year. “It’s a song about the other side of having a relationship with someone — the double- edged sword of being emotionally attached to someone and how you can feel very affected by that person,” he said. He got the idea from Romeo and Juliet, especially the scene from Act 5 where Romeo drinks poison when he finds his true love dead because her family will never let her be with Romeo. But AYR’s mind turned to the Japanese samurai tradition of seppuku, a ritual suicide to avoid dishonor or the shame of defeat. Dark stuff, but AYR wanted to play with the concept. In his song, the Juliet character is the poison, and the Romeo’s suicide is figurative and emotional rather than literal: The bloody queen, she’s cutting me I’m outa feeling Dishonor me, and leave me beaten bruised no reason She’s cutting me like a samurai, Knife I die, seppuku like a samurai “I always assumed, like everyone else, that Romeo was dumb for killing himself. But as I got older, I kind of understood him a little bit in terms of why he felt so defeated or lost without investment in the world. That’s what the song is about. It’s that feeling that your world is gone, and you’re losing your motivation for life. But I was also thinking that it seems like it’s just called growing up.” He took another angle, too. “I chose a dark wave song, which is a kind of dark, grungy rockish that I’d never heard before. Honestly when I first heard it, I had no idea how it was going to turn out, but it ended up my favorite song.” Part of his musical vision is “switching it up, going to the studio not really knowing how you’re going to do something, but you have an idea, and you’re really challenging the norm.” That was his idea with “She’s a Samurai,” and though it turned out to be his favorite, he does worry because it is dark wave. On the other hand, “I think it is very catchy, and it sums up my album because it is very new and different, and that’s really what my album is. I feel like this grungy dark song brought out the better side of my musical abilities.” He says the album has what he describes as more commercially normal songs, but his aim remains “new and different.” Part of that is experimenting with sounds through engineering.One example is a cover of Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” in a heavy, hard charging beat and up-tempo rock-pop-hip hopish melodies and vibe and featuring electronic instrumentation.AYR, a San Antonio, Texas, native, has been making music since 2016, when he was at Texas A&M University “rapping in my dorm and annoying my roommate.” “Back then I was listening to a lot of Tupac and some of that old school rap, a lot of that ’90s yell-type rapping in my room.” That involved a lot of late nights and going to class wiped out, but “I was just so passionate about music.” So passionate that the kid who went to A&M to play football, and got a walk-on position on the team, found that as his passion for music increased his passion for football suffered a corresponding decline.Now, after years of “hiding” his music, burying it on his computer, keeping it to himself “because I’ve always been a perfectionist.”“I have grown over the years, and this year I decided to take it seriously and go to a studio.” Once started, like in the dorm, he can’t stop. “I keep thinking, ‘Okay, even if that song’s good, maybe my next one’s gonna be the best one.’ So, it’s hard for me to stop.” His aim remains to make new, different music and sounds. The greats, he says, all found a new way of making music. “I’ve always wanted to do that,” he said. “I’ve always been intrigued by new ideas, and I feel like I have a lot of potential, that I can do certain things that might be unique, and that I can bring something that people haven’t heard, something new.” Stay connected to AYR Majesty on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts. “She’s a Samurai”: https://open.spotify.com/track/6VKSWYSUxRETfgrOc8sT63?si=602924c18c1448f3 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/es-co/artists/B0C448KCHC/ayr-majesty Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2UbAneUDU1qxSNko0QQ4l5 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcj4jl0vXLyq1kPZC4SfdXQ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||
| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 21 THE TURNER BROS. FT. KELSEY D | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:28:18 | |
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Turner-Brothers/100093128860450/ Facebook (John Turner): https://www.facebook.com/john.turner.96199344), Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_turnerbrothers/ By Kurt Beyers “I’ll Always,” an R&B love song by The Turner Brothers, is climbing the charts after being recently released — for a second time. Kelsey D., a young singer from North Carolina, gives a beautiful performance that goes back in time to the best of ’90s soul. John Turner, lead guitarist for The Turner Brothers, said “I’ll Always” is No. 1 on Digital Radio Tracker, No. 11 on Mediabase “and on its way to Billboard.” This is actually the second time the band has released the song. It was written in 1986, John said, when the band called itself Turner and Friends. He even knows the date.“August 6, 1986,” he said, “thirty-some years ago. I was fumbling around on the guitar,waiting on my brother and the rest of the band to come to rehearsal. I started playing the song and my brother and the lead singer walked in, and they said, ‘What is that? That’s good music.’ Next thing you know, we had the hook and a name, ‘I’ll Always.’ Then we sat down and wrote it.”They released the song then, but it didn’t do much. When they recently decided to giveit another shot, they needed a singer, and that’s when they found Kelsey D. on a music site promoting musicians and singers. She does both the lead and background harmonies on “I’ll Always.”“The song didn’t do anything back then because we couldn’t get it on the radio,” said John, but this time it’s turning out very different.“We’re blowing up now,” said John. “We’re up to almost 70,000 streams on Spotify,we’ve got 20,000 followers and a thousand streams on Apple. It’s also doing well onDitto, and the video just came out.”John and his brother, Kenneth, playing bass guitar, are well known in the R&B universe,where they have been writing and performing since the 1980s.They are making promotional appearances for the song.“We’re trying to get the song out to as many people as we can,” said John. “I’m in the process of putting a band together so we can promote it.”The Turner Brothers collaborate with a wide range of vocalists, depending, they say, onwho they need for their latest track. Singers have included BabyFace, Cameo, the IsleyBrothers, Jimi Hendrick and Stevie Wonder.Make sure to stay connected to The Turner Brothers on all platforms for new music,videos, and social posts. “I’ll Always” on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqj0yjeE2DE&list=RDnqj0yjeE2DE&start_radio=1&a b_channel=TheTurnerBrothers-Topic Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LMdf1PG5zUp1KCr5MleH1 YouTube: Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||
| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 20 LIVINTHEMOMNT | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:28:37 | |
By Kurt Beyers For her debut as a recording artist, the album ready to liv, livinthemomnt sings, in 10 alt pop tracks, the story of a young woman on the cusp of a new life. The story is rendered in a voice that, in its lowest register, like on the track “atonement,” plunges down into the listener’s bones and makes them tingle. In the first half of the very next song, “so long,” her high register soars into the upper atmosphere. Liv says she is still exploring how high she can go. “I’ve learned a lot about my own voice and vocal range through creating this album,” she said, adding, “but this album actually doesn’t even portray my highest range.” Still, her voice covers a remarkably wide range in singing the stories in individual tracks. They include three short, fun and funny vignettes that punctuate the overall narrative frame. “The album is about a young woman who is in a relationship and dealing with those ups and downs while also coexisting with the struggles of going to work at a job that she doesn’t necessarily enjoy,” said Liv. “And,” she concludes, “wanting more, she makes the decision to go and pursue her dreams.” The musical conclusion comes in the last track, the title song, “ready to liv”: I’m ready to live with all this shit that I did I won’t let nothing stop me from where I’m going I’m never going back this time. The album is based on her life but, naturally, she takes some artistic license. “There are some exaggerations. I didn’t kill anyone in a wreck or anything, like in ‘so long.’ You can take the meaning of the songs any way you want when you’re listening, you know? Some people relate differently to them. But overall, it is based on me and my life.” Olivia Toliver, artist name livinthemomnt, is a singer/songwriter from North Carolina. She has been involved in music since childhood, performing in school talent shows and at local venues. As a teenager, she was also in America’s Got Talent and Miss America Teen pageants. After performing with the Salisbury Symphony in North Carolina, Liv was given an open invitation to return but decided to launch her own career instead. She worked through the fall on ready to liv and released the project this spring. The personal part of ready to liv, the part of the story in which the protagonist decides to take the road named “Hopes and Dreams,” is not an exaggeration. That’s what she did. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’ve always known that I wanted to do this. The time is now. It just felt right.” She grew up listening to blues and soul from artists like Etta James, Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, but she loves a wide variety of music. “I’ve never wanted to be boxed into just one genre, because there’s just so many genres that I love, and I enjoy singing. I want to be able to put aspects of all genres into my music. That’s why I went with alternative, but I ultimately consider my music as alternative soul.” “The sound that I have created, I feel like, is a unique sound.” How she feels about her music and career is how she wants her audience and her fans to feel. “When they hear the album, I want people to feel empowered, and I want them to be able to relate to it and to know that no matter where you’re at in life, it’s okay to start over, live with your mistakes and pursue whatever you want.” Right now, her focus is ready to liv. “I want it to reach its full potential. I want it to be successful.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 19 Rap Duo It’s A Cool Day | 12 Jul 2023 | 00:29:56 | |
Straight from Chicago, the multi-talented duo known as It’s A Cool Day is set to release their latest single, “The Butterfly Effect,” on June 16. The single weaves intricate melodies with relaxing overtones that transport the listener to a musical escape. It’s A Cool Day is comprised of Craig Lowe, aka The C.o.o.l (Chase Opportunity or Lose), and Derion Scroggins aka Day Underscore, who together can best be described as “a vibe.” The duo was developed by industry veteran Greg “Olskool Ice-Gre” Lewis (Abstract Mindstate), the very first A&R of Good Music and a twenty-three-year creative collaborator to the artist formerly known as Kanye West. He sensed the collaborative potential between C.o.o.l and Day and provided an environment in which they could thrive together. The magic orchestrated by Honest Music enabled “The Butterfly Effect” to take flight. “Olskool provided the atmosphere for us to just do us and create and have conversations and vibe out,” explains the duo. “We were holding a mic and passing it to each other. That was the cool thing about this project—it was such a unique process.” Lyrically, “The Butterfly Effect” stems from dealing with love and the butterflies that get in your gut. “It’s about not ruining the moment,” tells the duo. “The narrator’s thinking ‘I hope I’m doing everything correctly—the best for me in this situation. But I’ve also been hurt in relationships.’ It’s about hoping the girl is the person he’s been looking for and what was meant for him and what he needs.” “We’re not afraid to be vulnerable. If you look at music these days, things are toxic. We have our share of toxic songs but we’re more than that. This is what we’re feeling and want to express that to listeners. It’s not about protecting the ego but being real.” “We want listeners to know it’s okay to take a chance. It’s the most selfish and selfless thing you can do when it comes to love. Love is tricky and risky, but it’s so necessary to not be closed off and isolated,” adds It’s A Cool Day. “We have the opportunity to be secluded and independent, but you have to get outside.” The butterfly effect also refers to the real-life phenomenon of the monarch butterfly, a multigenerational species that paves the way for future generations to thrive. Together, C.o.o.l and Day have created a sound that is a hybrid of the many styles that have influenced them, along with a touch of their own. “I started in music really young,” shares C.o.o.l of his upbringing. “I sang in choir and was classically trained in opera. Yet growing up in a rough environment, hip hop and rap are a part of me—they’re in my fabric. The combination has created a unique style in me. When I met Day in California, we went on to merge sounds and create an R&B sound with edge.” Cool comes from the south side of Chicago, while Derion is from the west side. “We grew up at a different pace, but it’s all still Chicago,” adds Day. A second-generation artist, Day also had an early start in music. His father was a musician who would take him to rehearsals and the studio. “I caught the bug very early on,” Day adds. “I was heavily influenced by R&B and pop—from Michael Jackson to Usher. I was a late bloomer to hip hop.” The creation of “Butterfly” is the result of pure collaboration. Day produced the song from top to bottom, while the lyrics and concept are a result of both working together. “Day came with the beat and I knew it was special as soon as I heard it,” says C.o.o.l. “When it comes to him, there wouldn’t be a record without him. He hears a beat no matter where in the production.” In the same vein, Day has nothing but good words to say about his musical counterpart. “The cool thing about C.o.o.l is that he has conversations. The way the words come together for him—I’ve never seen anything like it. The lyrics come together and make sense. I’m a writer and will write the lyrics but he doesn’t have to because he’s a superhuman.” After their single—complete with visuals—drops, It’s A Cool Day is looking forward to releasing their project, You’re Welcome, on June 23. “It’s less of an EP and more of a conversational piece,” teases the duo. “We’re in the middle of making a bridge between traditional and modern. We want to inspire the progression of what may come.” Make sure to stay connected to It’s A Cool Day on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 18 BENJI CASINO | 12 Jul 2023 | 00:30:39 | |
‘It’s Benji Casino music, ain’t nothin’ like it’ By John Hacker Benji Casino was in elementary school when he started making table beats in the lunchroom when he was bored. Now he produces music professionally that is like no other in the industry. Now his latest singles, “Mm Mm Mm” and “Moon Walking” celebrate and demonstrate his stream-of-consciousness style of writing and cross-genre sound that define “Benji Casino music.” “When it comes to my song selection, if you listen to all my music, everything sounds different,” Benji Casino said. “There’s not just one sound. I did promo recently and I told the publicist ‘it’s Benji Casino music.’ It doesn’t sound like any other music but what it is. Only I can make music like this, it’s Benji Casino music.” And Benji Casino music comes from a unique headspace shaped by growing up in the city of Cleveland, then moving to rural Ohio. “I used to get into a lot of trouble up there so I moved out here,” Casino said. “It’s really in the middle of nowhere, I'm not gonna lie to you. I grew up in the city life but then I moved out into the country life and when I moved out here I found a different type of headspace, a more peaceful, enlightened headspace. I got to thinking about my life and how I can do better in the space that I’m in. I had to accept those and it just put me on a whole different plane.” The single “Mm Mm Mm” is a song with deep personal meaning to Casino. It’s a song about people who seemed to appear in his live when they wanted or needed something, but disappeared when he needed someone to lean on. The song talks about how the singer is looking for authentic people who really care for him. “At that time I felt like I had nobody,” Casino said. “And ‘Mm Mm Mm’ is the hook, me vocalizing is really just the hook and that’s how the whole song came together. I heard the beat and said ok, this is fire, let me really run this through the pro tools. I was singing Mmm Mmm, Mmm, and that’s where all the other lyrics came from.” The song ‘Moon Walking’ came from a stream of thought that came to Casino after a night of heavy partying. “I got home and I heard the beat and said this is different,” Casino said. “It’s slow but it hits. And I just started writing lyrics. Usually I don’t write songs but the way I see it, it comes how it comes. Honestly, I just like going in the studio with no plans, nothing ready because that’s when you come up with the most authentic songs. You come up with stuff lime ‘Mm Mm Mm,’ you can’t write shit like that down and deliver it the same way. But I do believe when it comes to creative inspiration, it comes how it comes, it comes and it goes.” Casino said he’s working on an EP called “Perfect Timing” that will come out in a few weeks. In the meantime he encourages his fans to check out his catalogue of music and find the singles that touch them. “I believe with the music that I've already released there’s something for somebody,” Casino said. “You may not like ‘Choker Girls’ but you may like ‘Maria.’ I believe right now there’s so much versatility across the whole catalogue there’s something for everybody. I know people in my personal life that don’t like certain songs but they like other songs. Benji Casino Music, what I'm making is me, it’s the things I go through, things that have happened in my life. “I want people to know that everything that’s been released on my catalogue I've done myself. Besides the beats, all the production was me. Everything sounds how it’s supposed to sound, I wanted people to hear it how I heard it when it just popped into my head. That’s why everything on my catalogue sounds different.” Please follow Benji Casino on the following social media and streaming sites: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2YYBrPq9TP9BiixpDdytSa Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/ms/artist/benji-casino/1552612444 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benjicasino/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZoKxOsj3Dh_19mRMdTNYwg Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||
| Creator to Creators S3 Ep 17 The D A Experience | 03 Jul 2023 | 00:33:39 | |
I grew up on the west side of baltimore and was a bit of an inside kid. Always loved watching TV and movies and Playing Video games. One day my mother got me a copy of Hardware #1 written by Dwayne McDuffie. At the time I had no idea how big it was to have a comic book done by an all black company. From here is was hooked. My dad would always take me to stores and I’d pick out what I would want was always drawn to the Black Panther who I consider my favorite hero. Kept reading and watching Tv and Movies through college (I went to NCA&T AGGIE PRIDE) and loved talking all things pop culture with friends. From there I feel in love with short form content and liked giving movie news, but this decided to do something different and educate a little on the history of Black Comics in different media forms. Now I try and share something every day letting people know the plethora of comic characters and stories behind how some of the best black super hero movies get made or what could have been. links to follow social media https://www.facebook.com/TheDAXperience/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdO0Nj1OUdW5hTfiQVUxaSA Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||

| Creator to Crreators S6 Ep 38 Har'Monique | 12 Aug 2024 | 00:37:28 | |
Filmmaker Meosha Bean interviews artist Har'Monique inks https://www.youtube.com/@UCJ9slRIAdssIg4dAPFL4Avw https://music.apple.com/us/artist/harmonique/1485970252 https://open.spotify.com/artist/0gNGFS54VMpwVdYAJjGz6Z https://www.instagram.com/har_monique23/?hl=en Bio With a power voice that goes as deep and hot as magma, or high, hard and cold as nails, delivered smooth, soft and dreamy or with a hacksaw edge, Har’Monique is launching her career with “One In a Million.” The song drops July 12, the video a couple weeks after that. Except for the overt but not explicit sexuality, the melody and vocals are classic R&B, set over a bell-like hip-hop beat. “I’m not really an R&B artist, so, I feel like whenever I do dabble in R&B sounds, it has to have some sort of hip-hop flair to it,” she said. When she first heard the music that became this song, what immediately popped into her mind was the Aaliyah song by the same name. “When I heard the sounds, I definitely heard Aaliyah’s ‘One In a Million.’ Her song had a lot of depth to it, soulful but real deep in her voice, and I thought, ‘That’s so cool! I love it!’ So, when I heard these sounds, I was like, ‘Oh, my God! That can have the same kind of undertone and depth to it.’ I wanted to take the title and make it my own.” The sound, she said, was sexy, and she knew right off that she had to write something sexy to the music. Cuz what I want want want want Is what you want want want Tonight That’s why I’m saying Make me your one in a million That process is in the nature of her creativity. “I don’t ever go in with a subject matter in mind. The song is always what the beat and the sound tell me it needs to be, and it basically writes itself.” The real joy of music, for her, is in the creation. Despite a voice that could have been designed specifically for R&B, and with the control that lets her use it however she wants, which, after this song, will be mainly pop, she says, “If I wasn’t writing my own music, I wouldn’t be singing.” This, and her fierce desire to be independent, tell the story of why six albums worth of her songs are “in the vault under my bed.” She is working on the seventh now. It will drop sometime early next year with 23 tracks. She wrote “One In a Million” in 2017 for the fourth album. It will be the third song she has released, the first this year. The other two were in 2021. Her story goes like this: She had a boyfriend in college who was going to school for audio engineering. Har’Monique has always sung, always had a voice for singing, and had been singing since she was a child, but “My goal in life was never to be a singer. I wanted to be a writer and write novels.” One day the ex said to her, “You can lay down some vocals.” This was when she was 21 or so, a little more than a decade ago. “So, I told him that I wasn’t getting into anybody’s studio to do cover songs. If I had to sing songs, I was going to have to write my own. And that’s when I fell in love with writing music.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. | |||
