Rich Chambers Proclaims Its Christmas All Over The World

“It’s Christmas Time (All Over the World)” celebrates this with a feel-good, all ages rock n’ roll song that will leave the listener tapping their toes and singing along. At the same time, artist Rich Chambers uses all kinds of pop culture Christmas imagery to help formulate a positive and hopeful message that embraces the wonderful innocence of the joy of the season that seeps out through the eyes and hearts of children.

Christmas is about so many things, but I think most will agree that the wonder of the season can be found in the kindness and joy that is seen and felt among so many during the holidays.

Rich Chambers has released a rock n’ roll Christmas album and eight non-holiday rock/pop singles, to be followed by an album due out at the end of 2022. He’s currently sitting at 2 million Spotify streams with one Christmas song clocking in at 1.2 million, over one million YouTube views for his videos, and all this began after he decided to make his dream a reality

I am super excited about 2023. In January, I will be releasing my first non-Christmas album of almost all originals. It will consist of all the singles I have released since January 2021 as well as my new single, “I’m a Fool for Lovin’ You” and two other new unreleased originals and one cover. The album will be called ‘ I Found the Volume.’

This and many more exclusives can be found in a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, not only did he mention his plans, but he also shared other things he is good at aside from music.

What is your stage name

Rich Chambers

Where do you find inspiration?

Like most artists, I find inspiration in just about anything, but I will say that more often than not, it is the “human condition” that I seem to be drawn to the most. What makes us tick as human beings has always fascinated me and most of my songs are based on this subject.

What was the role of music in the early years of your life?

My dad plays guitar, and as a young boy I thought it was pretty much the coolest thing he ever did. Whenever he pulled the guitar out at Christmas time and other family functions, I used to get my little Mickey Mouse guitar and sit next to him pretending to strum along. I can also still remember the first vinyl 45s I ever owned.

They were Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Listen to What the Man Said” and Paper Lace’s “The Night Chicago Died.” Mom was also a big music fan and she kept the radio on constantly, so I always was listening to the latest top 40. Thanks to my parents, music has always been a part of my life.

Are you from a musical or artistic family?

My dad has played the guitar his whole life, and his brother, my uncle, sang opera professionally in Europe for many years and recently retired as the dean of a music school in the California state university system, so yep, there is definitely music in the family.

Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?

This is an interesting question because I don’t believe there was ever any one person that inspired me to be a part of the music industry. I am a part of the music industry simply because if I want to get my music “out there,” I have to jump on this absolutely crazy music industry train.

There are so many artists and people that have inspired me, and still inspire me, to write songs, but to answer your question directly, pretty much nobody inspired me to be a part of the industry.

How did you learn to sing/write/to play?

I took guitar lessons when I was 10 years old, and after a year, I figured I was never going to learn how to play the thing well, so I quit. In grade 8 I joined the school band, which started to get me back into music. A few months later I played in my first rock band, which was really cool, but I wasn’t completely hooked. It was when I turned 14 and I wrote my first song that I was completely hooked.

That is when I started singing and really started to dive into the guitar. It was my passion for songwriting, and my huge desire to be able to sing and play my own songs well, that drove me to teach myself and practice, practice, practice.

What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?

I have never been asked this before by an interviewer. I love this question! I was 17 years old and a good friend of mine and I bought tickets to see B.B. King. He was playing in a licensed showroom and the staff felt pity on us, as there is no way we looked 19, and let us in. Man, was that ever fun!! I saw him many more times after that before he passed away. I feel fortunate to say that one of music’s greats was my first concert!

How could you describe your music?

My music is kind of hard to describe. It literally sits in the crossroads of many different styles. There are definitive rock elements to my songs, but there are also all kinds of country bits in there too. A lot of my music is pop-like, including elements of bubblegum pop.

You can hear bits and pieces of blues, jazz, big band, and folk in some of my songs as well. I don’t really fit into any one particular category. This was the problem music had in the 1950s when Bill Haley hit the airwaves with “Rock Around the Clock.” Not knowing where to put his music, radio dj’s came up with a new term, “Rock n’ Roll.”

There is no way I have created a new form of music, but I do essentially face the same problem early rockers like Bill Haley did, so I figured the best way to describe my music is to just call it “Rock n’ Roll Reimagined!”

Describe your creative process.

I feel super fortunate in that I am often able to create in just about any setting pretty much on demand. There are a few times I have been hit with the amazing “I have no idea how that happened” moments when some kind of crazy inspiration hits me and I bang off an entire song in about 20 minutes, but that is the exception.

Most of my songs start with an idea, usually a melodic one, and I work it from there. I put together all the music first and then the tone/mood of the music will dictate to me what kind of theme the lyrics will take on. The odd time I will have lyrics first, but this happens only once in a while. I am all about music first and lyrics second.

What is your main inspiration?

Great question. I have many different inspirations, but the one I find myself leaning toward the most is the human condition. I am huge on what makes us human beings tick and many of my songs will explore that on some level. Like many writers, I have my share of love songs, but I also have many other songs that comment on situations and/or emotions and feelings that are void of love and more about self-discovery. I am also inspired by our ability to dream! Dreams are a big element in many of my songs.

What musician do you admire most and why?

Okay, I simply cannot come up with just one. There are so, so many, each for different reasons, but for the purpose of answering this question, I am going to say John Lennon, and not for his musicianship, but for his songwriting. There is a self-analytical rawness and honesty to so many of his songs that I really admire!

 

Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?

My style has been evolving since I was 10 years old and first started playing guitar, and it continues to evolve every day, which I am very, very thankful for. But, I was telling a good friend of mine the other day one of the most important evolutionary elements of my guitar playing style.

I was the musical leader in my two long term bands and as result, was the one figuring out all the chord changes for all the cover songs we played. I also was the lead guitar player and did all the solos, but the problem with that is whenever I went to play my solos, the band would break down not having me to lead them through the chord changes.

To compensate, my lead guitar work became very “rhythm like” and distinct chord changes were heard in all of my solos. I have branched off since then in the last few years, but my guitar playing is built upon a stylistic foundation of a rhythm and lead hybrid, and that is what one often hears when they listen to me play guitar.

Who do you see as your main competitor?

Hmm… I am sorry, but I don’t see any external competitors. The only real competition I have is with myself. I am always striving to do better than what I did the last time.

What are your interests outside of music?

I am a huge fitness guy and have been running for my entire adult life. I also have a huge passion for ice hockey, which is something I have been doing since I was six years old. I enjoy reading and writing, and not just music writing, but fiction writing as well.

I have one published novel that is available on Amazon called “18.” I am super proud of this work as writing a novel was on my bucket list since I was a teen. I also have to profess to really liking trains. Whenever I see a train go by, I always feel like a little kid again!

If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?

Well, my music career has taken on many different paths and has gone through many different evolutions. It has never been the “only” thing I have been doing. As much as I love music, I also have other passions, such as fiction writing and education.

I have a bachelor’s degree in English, a master’s degree in Humanities, and was on the verge of doing a PhD about 8 years ago but opted out of it because it would have taken too much time away from music. The job I currently work to pay the bills while I pursue my music career is in education, which I love.

I’d be doing this job even if I wasn’t into music as much as I am. So, I am sorry, in many ways, this question just doesn’t really apply to me.

 

What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?

Oh my, there have been so many problems it isn’t even funny! But seriously, the single biggest problem I have in this music journey is that the music industry doesn’t know where to classify or categorize me. Unfortunately, the music industry is so siloed now that it makes it very hard for someone like me who touches upon so many different styles.

Experts and influencers in the music industry have told me I am too retro for modern rock and too modern for retro rock. I have been told I am too country for rock and too rock for country. I have been told I am too punk for new rock and too new rock for punk. The list goes on. But, what I do find every interesting is that when I get my music straight to the public on social media, they like it. They don’t care what “kind” of music it is, they just simply like it for what it is.

So, this means that I am pretty much on my own and going forth as an independent. I highly doubt I will ever be able to secure record label attention until I have made it big as an indie, at which point I am not sure if I will need or want a record label. But, making it big as an indie on a very small budget is definitely a challenge. But hey, I am up for it! 😊

If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?

As I mentioned in my previous answer, the music industry has become so siloed. I would love to see there simply be more stations and more charts that played or listed the most popular song regardless of what genre the song is. Billboard used to be that, but now they have so many different charts.

You have the R&B chart, the country chart, the rock chart, the rap chart, etc. The end result is that too many people are only listening to songs in one or two different genres and simply are not getting exposed to all the amazing music that is out there in multiple genres.

Why did you choose this as the title of this project?

I am a huge Christmas fan, and when it came time to start my serious music career launch, I found myself gravitating toward Christmas. It also didn’t hurt that I had finished recording my “It’s Christmas Time (All Over the World)” song just as I was getting ready to make my serious music career commitment. I released the song on December 1, 2019, and I keep bringing it back every year for the holidays. I am super proud of the song. It is one of the ones that started it all off for me! 

What are your plans for the coming months?

I am super excited for 2023. In January, I will be releasing my first non-Christmas album of almost all originals. It will consist of all the singles I have released since January 2021 as well as my new single, “I’m a Fool for Lovin’ You” and two other new unreleased originals and one cover. The album will be called ‘ I Found the Volume.’

It will be followed by a series of new single releases that will be coming out periodically throughout the year, eventually leading to another album release at the end of 2023 or beginning of 2024. I am definitely excited about what I will be doing in 2023!! 

Do you have any artistic collaboration plans

No. Not at the moment. I am for sure open to collaborating, but I see that happening at a later date and not in the foreseeable near future.

Bring Out The Sunshine Nick Noon Exclaims

Bring out the sunshine is the current release from multitalented artiste Nick Nook. Through an ear-catching guitar and a nostalgic rock composition, the single delivers a refreshing take on indie rock.

The song Bring Out The Sunshine blends the 70s vibe with a touch of modern indie vibe. “Bring Out The Sunshine” is the second single to be released from Nick Noon’s forthcoming EP’A Jejune Affair’ which is expected to be released in January.

Listeners will be taken on a sonic journey by Nick Nook’s message-heavy, upbeat lyrics that will make people appreciate life a little bit more. This particular song demonstrates that there is no doubt that he is an artist to watch because of the significance and originality of the lyrics in his releases..

The industry puts the majority of its resources behind vapid trash music because it’s what makes the most money. I understand it’s a business, but there should be more of a balance between the trash and art.

These were some of the thoughts Nick Noon shared in a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, more of these were shared during the interview

What is your stage name:

My name is Nick Noon

Is there a story behind your stage name?
No story. Just my name.

Where do you find inspiration?

The inspiration finds me usually and when it does, I do my best to channel it.

What was the role of music in the early years of your life?

Music was always around growing up. Mostly it was music from the 60’s being played in the car or in the house. In high school, I would line the sleeve of my coat with headphones and listen to Outkast or Bone Thugs & Harmony in class instead of the teacher.

As a kid, I would tinker on an old upright piano we had sitting in the corner, but never thought about music as anything other than something other people did until I was around 19 years old.

Are you from a musical or artistic family?

My mom was a singer and my dad was a huge fan of music, but no one played instruments. My family loved listening to music and learning the history of it, but other than my mom singing around the house, there was no one around me playing music.

Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?

I’m not interested in being a part of some monolithic industry. I am interested in getting the music I hear in my head out and hopefully those who hear it enjoy it enough to give me money.

How did you learn to sing/write/to play?

I saved up money from a job I was working and bought a guitar without having any clue how to play the first chord and slowly started teaching myself.

Within the first week, I naturally just started writing, which is something that had never occurred to me to do. Songs just came out of me without really trying. It’s what came easy.

Even though I play a lot of the instruments on my songs, I still don’t consider myself much of a musician, especially compared to players here in Nashville, but I manage.

What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?

It was one of those radio station sponsored music festivals at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Birmingham, Alabama. I went with a group of friends and don’t even remember who was on the bill. Obviously, none of the bands I saw left much of an impression on me if I don’t even remember them, but I do remember thinking the environment and crowds of people were brilliant. One concert that made an impact on me though was Blur.

How could you describe your music?
Great.

Describe your creative process.
I sit down with an acoustic guitar and play until a new song exists. The last song on the upcoming EP, I actually wrote on piano, but 98% of the time, I write on acoustic guitar

What is your main inspiration?
God. Life. Music.

What musician do you admire most and why?
It’s a combination of a few: Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Noel Gallagher, and Damon Albarn are the first names that come to mind, but there are others. I’m a fan because their songs are better than other people’s songs.

Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
I would say it has matured and probably become more lush.

Who do you see as your main competitor?
Myself and The Beatles.

What are your interests outside of music?
I dabble in graphic design, watch Alabama Football, and quite enjoy the Kill Tony podcast.

If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
Graphic design.

What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
Where to start? Myself. Others. Time. Money.

If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
The industry puts the majority of its resources behind vapid trash music because it’s what makes the most money. I understand it’s a business, but there should be more of a balance between the trash and art.

Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
I saw the phrase on a sign and I thought it must be a sign.

What are your plans for the coming months?
I am about to release the ‘A Jejune Affair’ EP in January and then begin work on my debut full length album. The songs are written. I just have to get them recorded.

Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
Stay tuned to find out.

What message would you like to give to your fans?

Thank you for listening and for being smarter than Lil Nas X’s fans. There’s more music coming.

What is your stage name

Lump200

Is there a story behind your stage name?

Yes, the project started as Lump only, but there was confusion as there was another Lump. Fabric (London) wanted to book me but they asked the other Lump. So I decided to tune my stage name. I like the idea that it sounds like kitchen gear. Could be a blender, couldn’t it?

Where do you find inspiration?

Almost anywhere: inside and outside myself, humans, their skills and thoughts, animals, plants, literature, music, of course, food, conversations, situations and constellations in general, art etc.

What was the role of music in the early years of your life?

To be honest: I loved marching music as a child. I started to play the recorder, clarinet was following, then guitar, saxophone, vocals, piano. My talent was fostered by some ambitious music and art teachers.

I loved marching music as a child.


Are you from a musical or artistic family?

Nope.

What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I think it was Al Jarreau..

Describe your creative process.

I usually start with sessions. Recording some instruments, preparing them, processing them, with guests or without. Often a production starts chaotic, I build up, overload, throw out, and overload again before I start reducing, deciding what is really the core. I love concepts, too, and I love to break them.

Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?

Oh yes, I am very zigzag. I started with Jazz(-Rock), then turned my back on it, went close to techno, and started to integrate voice, literature, and spoken word. A continuum is probably a pointed phrasing.

Who do you see as your main competitor?

Oh, music is not that much about competition to me. I am a friend of co-existence.

What are your interests outside of music?

How people live together, and how they organize themselves. Participation, human interaction and respect. Swimming.



If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?

Some other basic thing. Cooking, for example.

Why did you choose this as the title of this project?

The title of the coming album is Isles of You. With a partner for code I am developing an integrative social audio app that fosters co-creation, crowd-composing and -texting and so on. I wish to open things up, to let you in, and you, and you and you..

What are your plans for the coming months?

I will finish the album, promote it, continue developing the web-app, adapt tracks for the app, start projects on it, and if there will be time left, I will think about live shows.

Velours Shares A Smooth But Powerful Single Titled ‘Flowers In A Wasteland’

Velours Shares A Smooth But Powerful Single Titled 'Flowers In A Wasteland'
Velours Shares A Smooth But Powerful Single Titled 'Flowers In A Wasteland'

Velours is an alt-pop singer and composer originally from Saskatoon. She was given the name Velours, which is the French word for velvet, due to the velvety quality of both her voice and her musical style.

She writes about the human condition, the lyrics crashing into incredibly real melodies in each song that she composes. The fact that she wants to explore sensation via music but at the same time not take things too seriously strikes a chord with her listeners.

Her music has a beautifully soft feel to it, with the lyricism colliding with beautifully authentic melodies, which is reminiscent of the name “velours,” which is French for “velvet.” Her music has a unique appeal because she writes about the human condition, and it also has a beautiful resemblance to the word “velvet” because of the name.

Velours was inspired by a sense the artist experienced the whole world falling around her while having a bright, lively love that continues to develop in spite of everything. Not only does her idea of “Flowers in a Wasteland” have opposing images, but she also wanted to combine it with a killer cheerful pop-rock energy in the song.

It was a lot of pleasure to work with such an interesting topic as the premise that something as lovely and delicate as a flower can flourish amid something as aesthetically unpleasant as a wasteland.

Lesley Pike Introduces Her New Album ‘Wild’ To The World

Lesley Pike Introduces Her New Album 'Wild' To The World
Lesley Pike Introduces Her New Album 'Wild' To The World

The critically renowned singer, songwriter, and composer Lesley Pike has just released her newest album, and the first part of it is named “WILD (vol. 1).”

Over the process of creating her brand new double album, WILD, songwriting and production are two areas in which Lesley Pike has shown significant growth. Pike, who is based in Toronto and London, UK, plumbed her own vulnerabilities to construct these intricate songs and WILD (Vol. 1) sees her finding a new level of resilience as a result.

The recording artist’s fourth disc, which will be issued in two volumes, is an accumulation of confidence and determination, as well as an extremely vital focus: producing and making music on her terms. The disc will be released later this year.

Pike’s songwriting reaches new heights on these fourteen magnificent tracks, which range from the personal to the universal. Consider, for example, the establishment known as “Bar Americain.”

Pike’s great storytelling talents are chronicled in this song via the use of her words, which convey recollections of a real-life love meeting she experienced in a pub in London, England. The song was written by Pike.

The album’s combination of several styles of music is another significant step forward for Pike. WILD brazenly basks in both contemporary and traditional folk composition while grangerizing lines with rock-and-roll edges, living up to its name in every sense of the word. Pike’s captivating melodies are accompanied by crunchy, electric, and pedal steel guitars, which convey a combination of sad lyrical punches and ethereal notes.

Pike muses on the feeling of abandonment that children have and the freedom that she has discovered inside herself in the album’s title tune, “Wild,” which is an organic and light piece of folk music. This song encourages the listener to stop, look inside, and put their whole faith in themselves.

Having recorded the 12-song collection primarily in the United Kingdom in various settings, including a converted Norfolk studio that was once an ambulance station during World War II, an industrial warehouse studio in Leeds, and finishing up at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, Pike insists that taking the lead on production was something that changed the game.

Pike’s song WILD is going to inspire other people by virtue of the fact that she has made herself available to be so open and vulnerable in the process of digging into her own experiences via singing.

Her compositions and performances on the album are emblematic of her path as an artist and as a woman since they explore the emotional landscape of both roles with a sensitivity and a level of depth that is destined to win her praise.

 

Toronto-Based Vocalist Puma June Evokes A Hopeful Sadness Through New Single ‘Lost Years’

Toronto-Based Vocalist Puma June Evokes A Hopeful Sadness Through New Single 'Lost Years'
Toronto-Based Vocalist Puma June Evokes A Hopeful Sadness Through New Single 'Lost Years'

Shanti Abbott, a Canadian musician who performs on many instruments and sings under the stage name Puma June, is based in the city of Toronto, Ontario.

June’s music is characterised by a dreamy, lush, experimental chamber-pop sound that is accented with R&B. Her contemplative songwriting evokes an optimistic melancholy in her listeners.

There is no way to fully pinpoint Puma June’s sound since she draws inspiration from artists as diverse as Feist, Frank Ocean, and Stevie Wonder; nevertheless, one possible comparison might be unhinged versions of Lana Del Rey and Charlotte Day Wilson.

In her hometown of Barrie, in the Canadian province of Ontario, June spent her formative years penning songs and participating in musical initiatives. She is a self-taught singer, pianist, and guitarist, and she received her violin training from Suzuki.

The most notable accomplishment of June’s musical career was the formation of the folk duet “Shanti and Vale,” afterwards renamed “Concordia,” with her identical twin sister. Both a live album that the two recorded in 2012 and a single that they recorded in 2019 titled “Love Is Blind” were uploaded on Bandcamp.

Despite the fact that Concordia performed around Southern Ontario for many years, the band never broke out of the small-town scene. With the release of their single in 2019, the members of the band made the decision to redirect their attention to their own projects.

During the formative years of her life, June was a member of a number of different orchestras in addition to being a backing vocalist and violinist for the band “House Art,” which was an indie-rock band based in Barrie. She was also a member of the folk-rock band “Hungry Lake,” which was based in Toronto. Additionally, she was a violinist in the Huronia Symphony Orchestra.

Ultimately, in the year 2020, “Puma June” was given its formal start. This was a project that combined all of June’s favourite musical styles from her childhood and provided June with the opportunity to create her own unique voice.

During her first year working as a certified nurse, which corresponded with the early days of the epidemic, she penned the song “Lost Years.” She also worked at this time. June had always had the dream of pursuing a career in music, but like many other musicians, she was counselled to follow the “safe” road that would lead her along routes that were more likely to lead to “success.”

This yearning ballad represents June’s moment of reflection and realisation: feeling the weight of ageing and losing time to pursue her artistic dreams, but finding the motivation and strength to reach higher and create a future that she can be proud of. [This yearning ballad] was written by June. [This yearning ballad] was performed by June. [This yearning ballad] was written by

It’s never too late to start living the life you’ve always dreamed of leading, despite the mistakes and decisions that drag us all down. Puma June wants her audience to understand that they have the ability to change the direction that their lives are headed.

 

Sam Casey Sings Her Heart Out In Latest Single ‘Good Fight’

Sam Casey Sings Her Heart Out In Latest Single 'Good Fight'
Sam Casey Sings Her Heart Out In Latest Single 'Good Fight'

Sam Casey, a vocalist from Toronto, creates music that deftly combines two distinct but overlapping themes over pop-driven rhythms and infectious choruses.

The thunderous anthems discuss the need of keeping one’s mental health while navigating what can be a difficult and demanding sector, such as the music business.

Her music delves into the same heartfelt areas of introspection and self-examination. Her songs conjure up the tough moments when she must slog through that negativity and emerge stronger, ready to take on the challenging conditions that life throws at her.

Sam Casey writes songs about her experiences with toxic relationships, difficulties with mental illness, and battling against the sensation that things are sliding in and out of control in her life. Her songs may be found on her SoundCloud page.

Sam and her co-writer, the independent pop musician Laur Elle, had a discussion that eventually resulted in the song “Good Fight.”

They were having a casual talk about the need to “appear” like an artist rather than just being an artist, as well as the disparity between the number of female artists and the shockingly low number of women who held positions of power in the music industry.

My role as an artist is to say the difficult things and to be honest about the unattractive qualities in myself and, in turn, this hopefully may slowly minimize the fears of my listeners. If we can be honest about our identity and even allow ourselves to feel shame about certain aspects of ourselves, then we can accept that shame for what it is and move on. We can be more accepting of ourselves and others,”

 

Most of all, the songs help me realize that I will fall, lose, be rejected, or have a crazy episode from time to time regardless of how hard I fight the feelings and, if I do fall, then I should just accept it, move on and not look back

TDOTOSTUDIOS Describes Afua With Few Words

tdotostudios (aka Theo Davis) is a UK based medical doctor by day and music producer by night. He spent time honing his craft as a multi-instrumentalist at church, school and university musicals. Despite enduring a busy course and job as a medical doctor, he demonstrates a notable CV in music. He scored his first UK Top 30 single as a producer with a track called Azonto by Fuse ODG, which to date has a combined total of over 70 million views on YouTube alone.

His contributions to this record formed the foundation and pioneered a new sound of UK afrobeats during that time period. Having helped to sonically pave the way for UK afrobeats, tdotostudios, through his own artist project, wants to continue to spearhead a new sound called Afro-Lofi, combining the vintage and granular atmosphere of Lofi music with infectious afrobeat rhythms to create a pleasurable listening experience.

In addition to Azonto, he co-produced two other songs on Fuse ODG’s debut album “This is New Africa”, which ended up at number 25 in the Official UK Album Charts and earned him a BPI Silver Award plaque. The music he has produced has been broadcasted on reputable radio stations including BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra and many popular TV shows including Match of the Day, Take Me Out and X-Factor.

He has more recently teamed up with upcoming Nigerian-British singer-songwriter IsaacO, having had a hand in the production of his first four singles. This has culminated in a total of over 1,000,000 streams on Spotify alone. His work with IsaacO has resulted in noteworthy playlist features including Spotify editorial “Easy” and Starbucks’ own personalised playlists “Coffeehouse” and “Starbucks Soul R&B Hip-Hop” and a personal invite to Spotify UK HQ in London.

He has just recently collaborated with Hans Zimmer’s and Pharrell Williams’ founded plug-in company ujam instruments to create the track “Adonai” and “Jireh” to promote their newly released plug-ins Virtual Pianist VOGUE and Reggaeton Beatmaker RICO.

When asked about his latest single with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, this is what the multi-talented artiste had to say:

This release is called AFUA. The reason for the name is that it is a female Ghanaian name meaning “born on Friday”. Being of Ghanaian descent, there was a longing to shine a spotlight on the beauty of my own personal heritage and the African Diaspora. I also wanted to create a sound which encapsulated the beauty of women from the African Diaspora without the need for song lyrics.

Listen to Afua below

What is your stage name
tdotostudios

Is there a story behind your stage name?
There is a story. When I was thirteen and in secondary school at the time, because I would go by my shortened version of my name Theo. One of my classmates suggested I should change my name to T.O which pronounced without the dot says my name. That name stuck with me and I have decided to take it forward. The name has gone through various versions like T.O productions. The name tdotostudios is a continuation of this but it spells out the dot rather than using a full stop symbol.

Where do you find inspiration?
My faith in Jesus is really integral to why I make music. I regularly serve in my church by playing the keys (piano) as part of my church band. Other inspirations include family and friends.

What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
It played a significant role in my family. Music was always in the house and I grew up on an eclectic mix of music including Gospel, Soul, Motown, Folk and Singer-Songwriter music like Simon & Garfunkel.

Are you from a musical or artistic family?
Yes, both my immediate and extended family are musical which definitely is a real blessing.

Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
My cousin Nathan helped to pique my interest in music and music production when I was about 13. He had rapped as part of a mixtape his cousin made called Breezy’s Mixtape. Listening to that mixtape inspired me to think about making my own music and it is amazing to see the journey I have been on so far.

My cousin Nathan helped to pique my interest in music and music production when I was about 13.

How did you learn to sing/write/to play?

A mixture of self teaching, learning at various youth projects and through collaborations.

What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I think I went to see Graham Kendrick (a Christian singer and worship music veteran) at a church event when I was really young.

How could you describe your music?
Afro-Lofi – which combines the granular/vintage atmosphere of lofi music and chilled afrobeats.

Describe your creative process.
I tend to be inspired by tracks I might have heard that day. It might be that which sets the tone for the track I decide to make next. Depending on the track I make, I may start with a nice drum loop or chord progression and build from there.

What is your main inspiration?
Same as what I said before – God, family, friends.

What musician do you admire most and why?
I really admire James Jamerson (he was a bassist in a group called the Funk Brothers). The funk brothers were the session band behind all of Motown’s music from Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell to Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder. The reason why admire him was he used his bass to “talk” and create a new feel to any track he played on. His baselines could stand alone without anything else.

Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?

Not particularly. Pretty much most of the music I make has some sort of Afro-Influence. Back in 2011, I was one of the producers of Azonto by Fuse ODG. This song has now gone down as an innovator in afrobeats history in setting the tone and foundation for later afrobeats tracks. It also gave me my first UK Top 40 single and to date has over 70 million streams across all streaming platforms.

Who do you see as your main competitor?

No-one in particular

What are your interests outside of music?

Cooking, socialising with friends, helping and mentoring young people, church, God

If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
This is an interesting question as my aim to combine my day job (which is a medical doctor) and my music career so I have time for both.

What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?

Trying to find serious people to work with. In such an industry, some people can be quite unreliable and flaky and you only get to know what a person is like by working with them. So, it’s a bit of trial and error. I am glad however that currently I am working with a good group of people on various projects who push me to be a better musician and producer.

If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?

Less reliance on social media to have to build a fanbase. However, in this day and age, you cannot get away from optimising your social media accounts to increase your audience and reach.

Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
The new single is called AFUA. The reason for the name is that it is a female Ghanaian name meaning “born on Friday”. Being of Ghanaian descent, there was a longing to shine a spotlight on his own personal heritage and the African Diaspora. I wanted to create a lyricless sound which encapsulated the beauty of women from the African Diaspora. This will be one of the first tracks from a wider body of work called “Kofi’s Lofi”.

What are your plans for the coming months?

More tdotostudios releases, more collaborations

Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?

Yes, quite a few are in the works.

What message would you like to give to your fans?

Thank you for all the love and support on my music and journey. I really appreciate you all.

He is one of the most popular artists in the genre because his music is both very experimental and very easy to understand.

Since releasing his debut mixtape, titled “A Love Letter to You,” in 2017, the multi-platinum-selling, chart-topping rapper, singer/songwriter has consistently defied genre.

The sequel, called A Love Letter to You 2, came out the next year and made it into the top 40 on the Billboard 200 albums list. During the same month, Trippie and Lil’ Wop collaborated on the extended play (EP) Angels & Demons.

Before the end of the year, he earned his first entry on the Hot 100 with the tune “Dark Knight Dummo,” which included Travis Scott as a guest artist.

Sam Tompkins’ Majestic New Single ‘Lose It All’ Is Set To Be His Breakthrough Moment

The star from Brighton Sam Tompkins is one of the British male musicians who is coming to prominence the quickest on a worldwide scale.

He is also the embodiment of a local kid who has made good, someone who has avoided the hoopla in order to discover his own way.

Sam Tompkins is an artist who focuses on pure emotion, and in the course of doing so, he is able to locate a universal sense of expression. This is accomplished by deftly avoiding the glitter and glamour of the celebrity world.

Sam’s voice is driven to new heights in the first single of his highly anticipated debut album, which is titled “Lose It All.” The song is sweet and sincere, and it has undulating piano notes. An incredible performance and those high-keening notes are going to stick in your head forever. They fall from the skies as “Lose It All” descends to that breathtaking chorus.

It follows 2022 that was already rather successful for the musician, who is now 25 years old. His extended play (EP) project titled “who do you pray to?” was published earlier this year and immediately broke into the Top 10. This solidified his position as one of the most intriguing musicians that everyone is talking about.

As his live prowess spread throughout Europe, he was able to fill every venue to capacity whenever he performed there. With a sold-out UK and EU tour and a packed-to-the-rafters night at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town already under his belt, he headed out for a summer of huge festivals appearances. Most recently, he supported and shared the stage with one of his biggest champions, Justin Bieber, in front of a crowd of thousands in Norway.

Acclaimed Singer Stefano May Channels Intimate Experiences With His Single ‘Crazy’

Stefano May is a singer, composer, and piano virtuoso. He makes exciting musical journeys by mixing soul music with pop and classical styles.

In 2012, Stefano broadened his exposure to a variety of cultural experiences by taking trips around Europe and the United States, where he presently resides.

These travels have provided him with unique opportunities that have led to numerous.

These trips have not only provided him with one-of-a-kind experiences but also rekindled the passion that he once had for his music profession. The most motivating aspect of this story is how Stefano has become friends with renowned filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli.

Because he was his mentor, he was able to improve his skills as a performer and come up with new and interesting ways to write. He has learned a lot from Zeffirelli about how to be creative and how to improve his skills.

This helped Stefano a lot when he was just starting out as a composer for movie soundtracks while he was a student at Columbia University and Jamal Joseph was his teacher.

While working with producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers), the song “Crazy,” a hauntingly beautiful ballad, was created. “Crazy” is a deeply thoughtful and sad look at the dark sides of a lifelong passion.

The heartbreakingly bare display of moving vulnerability that Stefano gives us transports us to the depths of our psyche, where we find a lasting expression of cathartic sadness.

This vocally driven tune is complemented by Stefano’s dark and distorted piano hook, which he created using his extensive expertise as a pianist schooled in the classical tradition.

This introspective music video follows Stefano as he travels over deserted beaches, lonesome rooftops, and the quiet of his own bedroom. Along the way, we see him struggle with feelings of loneliness as well as the ghosts of his past.

 

Star2 Showcased Remarkable In His New Single ‘GO!’ Featuring Hoodtrophy Bino

Star2 Releases His Second Collaboration With Lil Poppa Titled “Pain”

Star2 displayed remarkable talent in his new single “GO!” featuring Hoodtrophy Bino. Star2’s new song “GO!,” which features Hoodtrophy Bino, shows how talented and driven he is.

Star2 is an Asian-American musician who fuses pop, R&B, and hip-hop into a compelling whole. Star2 didn’t have the best childhood, so he uses his experiences overcoming problems to make music that is unashamedly confident, happy, and full of heart.

Most of Star2’s admirers already know his incredible backstory: he was born in a Thai refugee camp, abandoned by his parents when he was a toddler, and raised by his grandmother in a dangerous San Diego area.

They are aware that music has helped Star2 through some of the most difficult times of his life, beginning at an early age and continuing all the way up to the present. He is a great example of a transcending lyrical storyteller for people who don’t often see themselves reflected in pop culture.

His life’s struggles, which he has openly discussed in his music, have strengthened him and turned him into the accomplished Asian-American musician he is today.

Since releasing his first song in 2020, “Hollup Gurl” which has approximately 300,000 Spotify plays, he has made undeniable strides in his personal and professional life.

Most of Star2’s admirers already know his incredible backstory: he was born in a Thai refugee camp, abandoned by his parents when he was a toddler, and raised by his grandmother in a dangerous San Diego area.

They are aware that music has helped Star2 through some of the most difficult times of his life, beginning at an early age and continuing all the way up to the present. He is a great example of a transcending lyrical storyteller for people who don’t often see themselves reflected in pop culture.

Maya Yenn Unveils New Single ‘Better Luck Next Time’

Maya Yenn Unveils New Single ‘Better Luck Next Time’
Maya Yenn Unveils New Single ‘Better Luck Next Time’

Maya Yenn is a singer, songwriter, and independent producer from the United Kingdom. Her unique sound is made up of a dark alternative-pop background and vocals that are light and airy.

The musician has returned with a bouncy new single, but don’t let its upbeat vibe fool you; hidden inside this catchy pop tune lies a dire warning for all of humanity.

Maya Yenn isn’t afraid to experiment musically, and her latest album, “Better Luck Next Time,” is a prime example of this. Fusing pop, a hint of jazz, and lyrical storytelling, the album is centred around a disquieting analogy for humanity’s self-destructive behaviour and its consequences for the future of the world.

The protagonist of this song is a young man who has prioritized his job to the point where he is attempting to finish a report while his plane is crashing. This gives a whole new meaning to the term “deadline.”

The song has a bouncy bass line with a fast tempo, while the rhythm is made up of samples of aeroplane noises like the doors opening and shutting and the clicking of buttons and switches.

The whole song appears to throb and pulse with even the slightest hint of danger. Better Luck Next Time walks a fine line between being humorous and being menacing over the whole 3 minutes and 22 seconds.

The instrumentation is treated as if it were just below the surface of the sea, giving the impression that the listener is being followed by a shark. Megalodon represents the hustler culture and ecological calamity in Yenn’s eyes.

In stark contrast to the lyrical brutality (“Billowing smoke and a perforated lung / Kerosene drips like a slip of the tongue”), the track’s silky smoothness is due to the singer’s delicate voice.

The track’s title, “Better Luck Next Time,” and its accompanying watery brass and barely-surfacing orchestral moments are reminiscent of the twee, saccharine song titles you might expect from Frank Sinatra or Bob Hope from the 1950s and 1960s, respectively, suggesting a passing nod to the swing singers of yore.

It’s symptomatic of our day that a song about a grim future would be given such a flippant title. We may keep repeating, “we’ll get it right next time,” but with the world on the edge of environmental calamity and slow-to-catch-up carbon-neutral legislation, there simply isn’t going to be a future time.
