Music wasn’t something Kayla Janae initially set out to pursue at first but it’s definitely a space she’s been able to fit very well into over the past few years. This week she joined us on the podcast to discuss what led her to become an artist and a whole lot more! Having been introduced to the world of music through dance she received encouragement to pursue a singing career and has really capitalized on the opportunity. We discussed her singles “Heart Crime” and “No Games” both of which are a part of her latest EP “Always & ForNever” that has released since the time of this recording. She told us what she’s learned during the recording process for the project and being able to better utilize the time she spends in the studio to get the most out of every session. We loved the admiration she has for her mom and her team as well all whom she credits with helping make her journey so far possible and worth while. Thanks to Kayla for stopping by and of course to Dom for sending her in our direction!

Following our connection through fellow collaborator Dre A.M. we had the chance to welcome Orlando based artist and DJ SoundTec to the show! We opened the discussion as he gave some background on his start in DJing having shared a passion for it with some of his friends in the local Orlando scene. He described what it’s like to collect vinyl records from many different genres and taste makers all of which has helped expand his musical palette. In turn this also translates to his live performances being able to move the crowd and channel the correct emotion for each new situation. He also touched on the similarities and differences between performing others music as a DJ and performing his own work as an MC. Having also released his single “Master of Illusion” the day of the recording he gave the story behind the track and how fans will be able to pick up the 12’ vinyl to take home which we thought was very cool. We thank SoundTec for making this appearance a few weeks ahead of time and wish him continued success on all his endeavors moving into the new year!

As an MC who’s as hardworking as any Leo Laru$$o has been making his mark on collaborations and his own solo work over the past several years. We had the pleasure of welcoming him to the show this week having been a fan of his hustle and we had an awesome conversation for the first time! As an artist from Texas he also described staying in places like Virginia and Atlanta which helped expand his ability to channel real life experiences into his music. We also had the chance to discuss his project “Jukebox Toons” that dropped earlier this year and what went into creating it as one of his longer bodies of work. We thank Leo for showing interest in the platform and are also excited to get to work on some music with him very soon as well!

This week on the show we had the opportunity to connect with CJGoKrazy a producer whom we first discovered on past guest Ashōka’s podcast Audio Junkyxrd earlier this year! We ended up listening to some of his work on Apple Music and really enjoyed the vibes so we were thrilled when he agreed to join us for a conversation! He told us about his journey in music production and how he’s been able to learn more and more each year. His love for melodic arrangements was a great topic point as he gave insight on his sound selection process when it comes to cultivating pure emotion within his work. We also briefly discussed his 2023 EP “Anomaly” which really stuck out to us as a true depiction of his style in that way. Since this interview he’s also dropped a new project titled “Luminous” which we definitely encourage everyone to check out! We thank CJ for his time and for dropping so many awesome gems about music and life throughout this one!

On episode 230 we welcomed in one of our favorite producers Mad Keys! After reposting his recent EP “A Few Ideas, Vol. 1” via Instagram we had a brief chat and he reminded us about reaching out to him in 2020 to be on the show and that he would still love to be a guest. So in turn we finally made it happen this week and were able to have a really awesome discussion! Mad Keys described where his love for musicality came from initially playing the violin which later led him to the intricacy of the piano. We discussed his 2024 releases including not only his recent EP and singles but also his collaboration with Phoelix and Paris Price “Hue Sound” which dropped its first project “Lightwork” this past summer. He also gave us some of the true meanings behind his amazing content on platforms like YouTube where he helps educate and inform other producers and creatives on ways to simplify their workflow, create better habits and overall work towards a better future for themselves through proven methods. We really appreciate him for getting in touch with us for this long awaited chat and we’re very excited to keep supporting his work for many years to come!

It’s been a few years since we had the chance to chat with Mochii on the podcast so we were very thrilled to have him return this week for a part 2 episode! He updated us on what he’s been up to and how his music journey has evolved since our initial discussion. We talked about how vital it’s been for him to keep going as both an artist and a mix engineer having recently opened his own studio in the Houston area to work on not only his own tracks but his clients as well. This has allowed him to create more flexibility in his day to day schedule and also free up enough time for him to maintain a balanced lifestyle. He touched on his 2024 singles “Summer Baby” and “One of Those Days” along with giving a preview of what to expect from him sonically in 2025. We always love getting to touch base again with some of the original guests from the show and having Mochii on this week was no different! We thank him for stopping by once more and for always showing love!

Back in the springtime we came across Fr1th who’s a London based producer and newly signed member of the acclaimed label Mello Music Group. We began digging into his back catalogue and were drawn to his melodic sound selection and incredible arrangements within his work. So after sending him an email on a whim we were very pleased to get to chat with him on the podcast this week for episode 228! Fr1th told us about his beginnings in production learning FL Studio in 2003 and how he eventually met a lot of awesome collaborators locally and beyond that helped shape and refine his style. He told us more about how he got connected with the team at Mello Music Group and what that opportunity has meant to his career as he recently re-released his 2020 project “Mind Blossom” with accompanying visuals and behind the scenes content all of which have gotten an incredible response from listeners. We also discussed what live shows have meant to him and how developing his stage presence for an in person atmosphere has really benefited him to showcase his works in a different way. We’re very thrilled to have made this connection with Fr1th and are very excited to hear his next project when it releases as well as continuing to touch base with him moving forward!

As many young R&B acts continue to impress in the ever changing landscape one of our favorites is Austin, Texas native Terrence Léon. This week we had him on the show to discuss a wide variety of topics starting with his most recent project titled “Amorous”. Similar to recent artists we’ve talked with he told us how creating an alternate version of the album helped him to push it to a wider audience and experiment with different genres. He told us more about the Austin music scene and what his approach has been to pursing a career especially over the consistent run he’s been on since 2019. Terrence also revealed his plans for a 2025 album that will be an even deeper dive into his soulful sound and definitely has us excited to check it out when it releases! Big thanks to Terrence for stopping by and be sure to give him a look if you’re in search of some new tunes for your R&B playlist!

Getting to collaborate and work with Vancouver based artist Tae has been such an awesome experience over the past couple of years and we always manage to stay in touch and support one another’s work! This week we reconnected for her part two episode to talk about how her music has evolved especially since the first episode we recorded. She discussed being able to produce more of her own works such as her latest single “All” as well as revealing that she has a new project in the works coming very soon. We also got to talk about what it was like for her to be a part of the 2023 Proven Knowledge album “Forms of Escapism” and her contributions to the tracks “Faith” and “Really Luv U”. We enjoyed getting to hear how the process was for her and how she helped us take both of those songs to even greater heights. We’re very thrilled to keep working with Tae moving forward and already have another collaboration in the works for JayTrey’s next project! We thank her again for the continued support!

This past spring we received a follow from The Beatcast which serves as a weekly sample challenge and tight knit community of awesome producers and creatives from around the globe. We had the chance to participate in several sample challenges towards the end of their 4th season and really enjoyed the experience. So in turn we reached out to The Beatcast’s founder Ill Al to be on the podcast and have a deeper dive into the platform and his own background in music as well! He told us about his beginnings as an MC in the Phoenix, Arizona music scene and how his love for both Rock and Hip-Hop started his path towards music production in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Having those experiences led Al towards merging the two worlds in his own unique way years later around the time of the pandemic when The Beatcast came into existence. He gave shoutouts to the other members of the platform and also provided his vision for where he sees it heading in the future with more events to help expand its potential and provide opportunities to more people. We’re grateful to have come across what Al and the rest of the team over there are doing and are thrilled to keep participating in the upcoming seasons of the sample challenge! If you’re a producer looking to be involved in an awesome group with fellow beat makers be sure to tap in with what Al has going on!

On this week’s catch up episode we had the chance to reconnect with California native and music producer Jay B who first appeared on the show in 2021! Jay dialed in from the infamous Chalice recording studio in LA in between sessions to have a cool chat about what the last couple years have been like and especially what he’s been through this year in 2024. Having recently lost someone quite close to him he discussed what he’s learned about his own mortality and how he’s been able to keep pushing and growing through the tough times. After officially signing to his cousin Hit-Boy’s Surf Club imprint he also has had a ton of new opportunities coming his way on the music side. He revealed new tracks with artists like Denzel Curry that will be coming soon and gave a clear picture of what people can expect from him as he doubles down on collaborations and networking. We’re thankful for Jay B’s willingness to share about his ups and downs and we have no doubt he will keep achieving incredible things as a creative. We’re very excited to hear what’s to come from him real soon!

For episode 223 this week we had the chance to speak with U.K. based artist Harrison Jay who came my way via his connection with our friend Dom! Harrison had a very inspiring conversation with us and we covered an array of topics starting with his life long love for music. As someone who grew up not only singing but playing instruments he described falling in love with the process which eventually led him on the pursuit of being an artist around 2019. He described what he learned about music production during his college years and the skills he’s taken into his own work as someone who is fully self produced. Among those recent releases are the singles “Mount Kilimanjaro” and “Robotic” which he detailed as two unique experiences to put together. Harrison also told us how he aims to take a trip to the real Mount Kilimanjaro next summer with a charity group which we think will be an awesome full circle moment for him! We love Harrison’s enthusiasm and work ethic for what he believes in and we also respect him for sharing a lot of other cool gems on this one especially for independent artists out there. We look forward to staying in touch with him as well!

For the first time in a couple years we were able to catch-up with songwriter, vocalist and newly found producer Giavonna! We’ve managed to stay in touch via Instagram since our initial chat and we were thrilled when she agreed to come back on this week for episode 222. We talked about her most recent solo works including the single “All Your Fault” in which she has been able to release multiple remixes for within different genres to help expand the songs reach. She also updated us on her journey in sync while still song writing with other artists both in North Carolina and beyond. Additionally she touched on being able to learn music production and how she plans to carry the skill into her work moving forward which we think is very exciting. All in all we’re very pleased to hear Giavonna is still on the grind and working towards new goals with her art! We’re happy to have her back on the show anytime and will keep on supporting the moves she makes as time goes by!

After hearing our most recent interview with MYNA fellow Miami based artist Ellephoria reached out to us to see if she could join the show and we happily obliged! As someone who is close friends with MYNA we were intrigued to know more about her story and really enjoyed hearing what it’s been like to craft the unique sound she’s been able to achieve so far as an artist. We discussed her most recent project “Luv 4 My Enemies” and how she was able to showcase different styles and textures within the album that represent her love for musicality and diversity. Elle also described learning things on the technical side having worked with many producers and engineers alike which has helped her to have a better understanding of what she wants to achieve with each new song she creates and ultimately allows for better execution in the studio. She also let us know about the deluxe version of “Luv 4 My Enemies” which has dropped since we recorded the episode and you’ll definitely wanna give that a spin afterwards! We thank Elle for taking the initiative to reach out and would love to have her back on one day to catch up!

On episode 220 another one of our friend Dom’s connections Trell Brooks joined us for a great discussion! Trell is an MC based in North Carolina with a keen ear for music and a sharp lyrical ability. We loved getting to learn more about his story having not met him until the interview! He described for us his upbringing being involved in band where he learned to play several instruments as well as his background with poetry and writing in general. It was these two things that helped lead him towards the life of being an artist in more recent times. We touched on some of the singles he’s dropped over the last couple years and what his next full body of work will have in store as he aims to provide a true and meaningful message for listeners. We also really enjoyed hearing about his long term goals not only as an artist but ways he aims to give back and help his community all of which he’s putting into practice each and every day in the present. Trell has an amazing outlook on life and we always feel anyone with that kind of perseverance and passion is bound to have continued success moving forward! Big thanks goes out to him for his time to share this week!

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with New York MCs and twin brothers 2wiin Kingz whom we got in touch with through our friend Dom! Before even meeting them we could tell in their music that they shared a passion for the craft through story telling and a hungry mentality that their songs portray so we were excited to get to know more about what has led them to this point! With just over 20 years of experience the two described the different changes they’ve seen and overcome within the industry including the shift in how music is consumed through streaming. Staying on that topic we also discussed how artists can use direct to consumer methods to reach fans while also generating a better return on investment in their work. We loved hearing about the process behind their latest album “It’s Funny How Life Is” and what fans can expect as they craft their next project slated currently for early 2025. It was also very cool to just discuss Hip-Hop in general with two guys doing amazing work and we’re really thankful we got to have this sit down! Westfield wish them the best of luck with what’s to come!

The Humble Elder is a multifaceted artist from the DMV area whom we began working with last summer on a lot of music behind the scenes! We had the idea of having him join us this week on the podcast to discuss more about what his journey in music has looked like from an early age until now. With a background in the church his family had their own musical abilities and tastes which helped inspire him to pursue his individual path towards being an artist. We loved hearing more about his writing process and how he prefers to delegate certain tasks such as production and engineering to people he entrusts with his vision as opposed to always doing everything on his own. A big goal of his is being able to write music for others in the future whether it be for fellow independent artists, movies or other creative works where he can flex his song crafting skills. He also let us know about what could be next in the cards for him release wise including a few of the tracks we’ve been working on together which we’re super excited about! We’re happy to be collaborating with The Humble Elder and thank him for joining us on the show for this cool convo!

Following an appearance earlier this summer on the Audio Junkyxrd podcast we were able to return the favor by welcoming its host Ashōka to the show! We discussed the different parallels between music production and the gaming world and how she’s found love in both so much so that her name was originally derived from her gamer tag early on. She told us about her love for the guitar and how honing her skills with it has allowed her to enter the loop making market and push sounds to other creatives through her website and social media. Ashōka also gave more insight on the backstory behind Audio Junkyxrd and where she aims to take the platform in the future as a central hub for different producers around the world. We really love what she’s done to give back to the community and help others all while still maintaining the different aspects of her personal life. We’re grateful she was down to connect once again this week and are very excited to see what other future collaborations might be in store for us as well!

On episode 216 we welcomed west coast R&B artist Dexter Kelly to the show! We were introduced to Dexter through Vianca Mireya who always sends us amazing music makers, she definitely did so once more as we had an awesome conversation! He discussed what the last 3-4 years have meant to him being able to sharpen his songwriting and recording abilities. Having been in studios with the likes of Bizness Boi as well as other talented artists and producers, he described how he’s taken each interaction as a learning experience to ultimately get better all of which continues to pay off in his favor. He touched on why he’s chosen to keep a consistent flow of single releases going as well as what could be the next moves for him that people can expect very soon. We think that when hearing his music Dexter’s talent speaks for itself but being able to hear his personality through this interview definitely gave us a look as to what makes him the artist he’s become. We appreciate Vianca for connecting us and for Dexter taking the time to join the show!

Thanks to our good friend and collaborator Tommy G. we were able to connect with another awesome artist from Chico, California named Kennedy Jude! As a singer and instrumentalist Kennedy joined us to discuss an array of topics including her early beginnings with a background in choir which eventually inspired her to pursue being an artist in more recent years. She talked about the importance of the team she’s been able to build around her that help with things like social media, interviews and other ideas to keep pushing her music and brand to new listeners. Kennedy also gave her outlook on the local music scene in Chico and what her next release(s) might entail as we head toward the final few months of the year. We were really impressed by Kennedy’s humble attitude and her love for the continuous pursuit of improvement in her career. We wish her all the best and would love to have her on the show again one day!

Having appeared on his show Lost Boy Radio this past spring we were already familiar with Sani and what he does to help other creatives have a voice on his platform. This week he joined us on episode 214 of the podcast to not only discuss Lost Boy Radio but also his own journey as an artist! As a Nigerian born citizen Sani moved to Amsterdam for university and ended up staying in the city which he describes as one of the best decisions he’s made. He talked about the people he’s connected with and those who have helped inspire him in his song writing especially in the last several years since taking things seriously around 2018. He broke down the concept and brand behind Lost Boy Radio and how it all stemmed from an early life experience which we think you’ll find fascinating. While touching on some of his recent releases Sani also revealed plans to release some visualizers as well as more new music very soon. We thank Sani for allowing us to speak on his platform once again and we were thrilled to hear more of his own story this week!

This week on the podcast we’re joined by Boston native and current Nashville based artist V Chenzo who we’ve been in contact with since around the time of the pandemic! We’ve stayed connected via Instagram and have supported one another’s work throughout the past few years so it was great to have our first real conversation with him on episode 213! Firstly he described what led to his decision to move to the music city and the different experiences he’s learned while in college and pursuing his goals as an artist. He talked about his dad and others around him giving words of encouragement to work hard at his craft and the improvement he’s seen since the beginning has been no secret. We also discussed his 2023 project called “Yes, Life Is Hype” in which he was able to embody the overall theme of his artistry which is to push good energy as much as possible. He revealed a sequel to the project as well as a new album called “In Rotation” that’s coming very soon all of which is very exciting! V Chenzo has continued on a very consistent and impressive run musically and we admire his outlook on life and what he aims to get out of it each and everyday.

On episode 212 we welcomed an awesome producer from Florida named Ezi Bear! After receiving an Instagram follow from her a few months back we were very impressed with the quality of work she was putting up on social media and wanted to extend the opportunity to get her on the show. We made it happen this week and had a cool discussion about what music making has given her through creating an outlet of self expression. She talked about her process creating beats with the SP-404 and some of her influences like Kaytranada who helped her in the process of finding her own sound. Building through her YouTube channel she discussed how content creation including vlogs and behind the beat videos have benefited her to reach new listeners and find other producers to start working with as well. Ezi Bear is not only a very talented music maker but also a super down to earth person grounded in her work. We anticipate future collaborations and will be keeping an ear out for her next project(s) on the horizon!

Returning on episode 211 is Detroit native and former guest from episode 80 MYNA! Having since moved to Miami from the Midwest it was nice to be able to have a quick chat with her about what she’s been up to since our first discussion in late 2021. This discussion had a lot of twists and turns as she described some of the recent challenges she’s encountered not only as an artist but in her personal life as she finds herself in a new city with an ever changing climate for those looking to be in the creative field. She told us about some of the people she’s been able to meet and work with since arriving in south Florida and how that support system has meant so much towards her continuing on and pushing through the tough times. While beginning to produce her own music she talked about the boundaries she’s pushing in her own sound as she aims to keep carving out a unique lane through trial and error. This will eventually come to fruition in her next album that’s currently in the works. We think you as the listener will get a sense of the real and raw emotion that came across during this interview and our hope is that you’ll take away some points about the struggles we all can face in life while still having to keep ourselves grounded in what our true purpose is. That’s something MYNA has done despite all she’s been through and we’re very thankful for her taking the time to join us for this discussion!

We loved getting to talk about her 2023 project “The Butterflies Died” which was one of our favorite EP’s from an independent artist last year.

She also described how she’s been channeling her life experiences through travel and day to day activities into her creative side which has allowed her to keep innovating as she crafts her next batch of new material.

This week we brought back another Midwest native and former guest of the show Jae Maurice! After our initial connection through our friend J. Foster we loved getting to sit down with him again to see what he’s been up to. While still residing in Chicago he talked about the different ups and downs he’s experienced as an artist the past couple years. He described these moments as the catalyst behind his latest EP “Survivors Guilt” where he was able to shed different layers of vulnerability and take a more introspective approach in topic matter. The project was also brought to life with the help of some great online collaborators who contributed their efforts to a few of the tracks. The biggest point made in this episode to us was being able to constantly evolve and grow as an individual through your art and the importance that can and has held for someone like Jae.

Returning this week from his initial appearance on episode 108 is R&B artist Reesie Woods! In 2022 Reesie had discussed with us about moving from his hometown of Gary, Indiana to Atlanta and on this episode he explained why he’s now deciding to move back to the Chicagoland area. He described his time in Atlanta as a learning experience but one he feels he can take away a lot of positive things from moving forward. On the music side he talked about being able to retain his independence even after a label meeting in the city that was a first of its kind experience for him. While doing this he released not only his album “Ego Off. Soul On.” but also his latest single “Blackberry” in which he accompanied with a chopped and screwed version earlier this year. While he’s currently crafting his next release he’s in no rush as he continues to stay true to himself and his voice each and every day of his journey which we admire a lot.

We’re joined on episode 187 this week by California artist Zzay whom we have followed from a far over the last couple years! She joined us to discuss a wide array of topics surrounding her career and mission to keep the love involved in her creative life. Having zeroed in on a true focus as an artist over the last five years she’s seen many great results as both a songwriter and in her own discography. Among her recent releases is an EP with fellow collaborator Danny Zico titled “I’m Good” which she describes as a fun body of work to complete in person while learning more about the process and technical sides of creating different works. She also gave us insight on how her viewpoint has shifted since the beginning and how she aims to always stay true and authentic to herself as an artist no matter if she’s working solo or with someone else and what it means to her to live within that purpose. We thank Zzay for the time and can’t wait to welcome her back soon to see what she can accomplish in the meantime! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/provenknowledge/support
