Lea Baruffato Opens Up About His Music Career And Discloses New Single “Die This Way”
Lea Baruffato was born in Argentina to an Italian father and an Argentinian mother. He then travelled to Spain and then to London, UK.
He began playing the guitar in his hometown of Argentina, inspired mostly by British and American bands. Later, he became interested in singing as well, so he chose to take lessons with several vocal instructors, establishing a distinct and unique style as a result of his heritage and travels.
Always on the go, he creates songs about his life experiences with the hopes of affecting people’s spirits.
Read on as he takes us on this magnificent trip while also providing us with an in-depth look at his most recent music.
How did you get into music?
Oh, that is a story! I was probably around 8 years old and I had an older cousin that used to live at my grandma’s and he was a guitarist.
So, every time I was going to visit her I was sneaking into my cousin’s bedroom and grabbing his guitar. I was captivated by the sound so I guess that is when I fell in love with music.
What field or genre are you into and how would you describe it?
I would say, I’m into acoustic pop/rock
What were your first project and the people you worked with?

I believe that gave a big opportunity to everyone who wants to express by creating music which is amazing but with 60.000 songs being uploaded to Spotify a day makes the market over-saturated.

Probably the best advice I got from a mentor was “Write from your heart” and I have been sticking to that

Timebelle Adds Her Voice To The Ongoing War With ’96
Sensational Switzerland singer, Timebelle has dished out this new song she tags ’96 where she adds her voice to the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war.
96 is the story of a young boy who grows up and struggles to find his place in the wide, terrifying world.
It’s a strange world to him, full of restrictions and pressures that push him to ignore himself and accept trivial, worldly ideals which had nothing to do with him.
She actually wrote this song with Runa and produced by Andy Platon and Runa says that “‘96 is not a year chosen randomly, it is the year in which Ukraine gave up the last nuclear warhead in exchange for Russia’s promise of never attacking Ukraine. The betrayed adult, who now lives in the real world, where people are constantly hurting and betraying each other, wants to go back in time to correct this mistake made in ’96, which today created this apocalyptic scenario”
Timebelle followed up with a music video directed by Leonid Cojocaru which continues the same storyline of a planet that has come to an end, devastated by humanity, which can have such a devastating component at times.
Timebelle considers that music has the power to heal, and with their new single “’96,” they hope to not only heal souls but also provide monetary assistance to individuals who have had to leave their homes, lives, and all behind. All proceeds from the song ’96 ‘will be given to Ukrainian refugees.
She is a lead vocalist Miruna Manescu from Romania is expressing her passion for art as a gigging musician and passionate actor.

Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single "Close Your Eyes"
Bekim! He was born in 1970 to Kosovo Albanian parents. Originally from Germany. He was a child when he first realised how much he loved music. Bekim! purchased albums and hoped to one day be a musician.
Bekim! started creating rap rhymes and making tape bootlegs in high school. As soon as he graduated from high school, he built up his recording studio and taught himself how to play harmony and the piano.
In 1989, that was the year. Early on, he was creating all of his music. Composer, songwriter, producer, arranger, and engineer—he’s done it all.
Let’s have a read of what he has to say about his journey to becoming a musician and listening to “Close Your Eyes” for the first time.
What is your real name?
Bekim Bytyqi
What’s your official showbiz name?
Bekim!
How did you get into music?
As a child, I always listened to music. At that time, it was still vinyl records and music cassettes. Then later, CDs.
As a teenager, I mixed cassettes and eventually started writing my lyrics and rapping on them. Shortly thereafter, I bought my first keyboard, a Kawaii, and a short time later, a drum machine from Yamaha. That’s how it all started.
What field or genre are you into, and how would you describe it?
Definitely music production. I love R&B, especially 90s and 00s R&B and a little bit of hip-hop, dance, and even 50s and 60s rockabilly and 80s pop.
What were your first projects, the people you worked with, and which year?
My first project was back in 1989 when I set up my studio. In the beginning, I worked alone. Then my younger brother came along. We taught ourselves everything autodidactically. I’ve always been interested in the production and structure of a song, and that’s how I got into producing.
Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single Close Your Eyes
Who or what inspires or motivates you? And why?
Many producers and musicians inspire me. For example, Dr. Dre for his beats, Hot Chocolate for their melodies, and Boyz II Men for their vocals.
I also love to listen to Lemar, Beverly Knight, Mario, Jodeci, Meghan Trainor, and Charlie Puth, to name a few. Apart from music, I love watching series on Netflix.
Any models you look up to? With reason(s), why?
Sure, Dr. Dre, Mike Oldfield, Babyface, and Darkchild
What do you look out for in this line of business?
I want to make my dream come true. Even as a child and teenager, I could predict with great accuracy which song would be a hit. And that’s what I want to do with my songs now. I want as many people as possible to enjoy my music and feel something beautiful about it. I want them to experience the same positive emotions that I felt when I composed it.
What are some of the challenges you face in your career path?
It’s not enough to have good music. Nowadays, you have to be creative to cut through the noise. You are supposed to be online 24/7 and active on social
A musician or producer would only sit in his studio and produce songs in a perfect world. But that’s not the way it is. The promotion side is way more time-consuming than the creative process.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
It’s easier to be successful as a musician these days. In the past, there were always these gatekeepers who, to be honest, in my opinion, didn’t always have a great idea about music.
Today, you can take it into your own hands and market your music. This is a great advantage of the Internet.
Do you have any advice for aspiring songwriters?
Just be yourself. Feel free to do your own thing. Find your sound, even when it doesn’t sound like the stuff in the charts. Stand by your sound.
What is your current project about?
My current project, ‘Bekim!’ is about producing timeless R&B and pop R&B songs. I work with different vocalists from all around the world.
What are your hobbies?
Music. But also sports like football (soccer) and basketball.
What do you do aside from this profession?
I am an interpreter by profession. But I hope that soon I can only concentrate on the music.
What is one message you would give to your fans?
Thank you, because without you, none of this would be possible.
If you hold on to your dream you will eventually make it. Just don’t give up.

Sam Tompkins Releases ‘Who Do You Pray To’ EP Alongside Emotive Visuals For New Single ‘My Brother’
Today, one of the British male musicians with the most rapid ascent in 2022, Sam Tompkins, releases an EP titled “who do you pray to” coupled with evocative graphics for his newest track “My Brother.”

He is sometimes likened to Sam Fender’s anthemic truth-seeking or Tom Walker’s revelatory autobiography due to the fact that he matches pop touches to a classic vibe in his music. Nevertheless, Sam’s work is completely independent and is already reaching dizzying heights.
His music goes to great depths, delves into the core themes of his life, and articulates feelings that we all experience but sometimes have trouble putting into words.

Emmrose is an eighteen-year-old composer who began her career four years ago in math class when she composed her first pop song.

Don’t Forget To Breathe When Listening To Mad Nad Bo’s “To Matt”
After a 4-year break, Mad Nad Bo makes her presence known once again with her new song “To Matt”. “To Matt” is the first of several new tracks to be released in the near future.
The first note she hits throws you into an emotional whirlwind of heartbreak, rage, and sheer despair.
Not only does vocalist Nadine Schwizer’s distinct vocals captivate your attention, but so does Sandro Jordan’s guitar, which expresses just as many emotions.
You can tell that these two don’t merely synchronize in music. In a bluesy and emotive style, Mad Nad Bo’s new song “To Matt” depicts the narrative of an unpleasant sort-of relationship.
It’s a story with no happy ending, as many of us have known. But the song is more than just a narrative about being hurt; it’s also a message of empowerment.
The man who harmed front lady Nad is recognized and shamed – – “not more nor less than he deserves”, Nad adds with a mischievous grin.
“To Matt” is a big “F*** YOU” to the guy who caused her anguish, but also to the agony and sadness itself.
The song depicts the narrative of someone who has been injured but is now better off than before; it’s almost as if you’re suffering through Nad’s pain with her, just to feel better about it all afterward.
Since the release of Mad Nad Bo’s EP “Things Left Unsaid” in late 2017, things have been quiet around the singer and songwriter and her better half in music and in life, Sandro Jordan.
“I’m looking back at four years of work and just life coming in between all things musical”, Nad says. “But that doesn’t mean there were no new stories (or songs!) written during that time. Now it’s time for those to get out there and be told!”, she continues.
Nadine Schwizer, the band’s frontwoman and main songwriter, draws inspiration from her daily life, such as assisting young artists as part of the Swiss music competition “bandXost,” where she works as a project manager.
“My young colleagues and their motivation have made me want to become more active and release new music again, so that’s what I’m doing now!”, says Nad.
Mad Nad Bo is the first band fronted by Nadine Schwizer, alias Nad, a singer-songwriter. She is an old soul, a thinker, and her distinctive voice and heartfelt melodies never fail to stun.
Sandro Jordan on guitar and alternating band members on bass and percussion accompany her vocal melodies.

Sofi Gev Makes A Cover Of Bat For Lashes With “Laura”

This cover was inspired by her admiration and admiration for one of the best female musicians of our time, Natasha Khan of Bat For Lashes.
She wanted to be authentic to the original while still injecting her own personality into it. They created the song’s distinctive piano melody on a French Connection analog synth, then added Moog bass, strings, and electric guitar to give character and emotion.

Her music, which is influenced by artists such as Birdy, Aurora, Maggie Rogers, Coeur De Pirate, Regina Spektor, Shara Nova of My Brightest Diamond, and Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes, layers introspective, offbeat lyrics and delicate vocals over a dreamy blend of indie pop, electronica, and indie folk.
Her father’s singing Joni Mitchell songs to her as a youngster was her earliest and most lasting musical impact.
Sofi Gev’s songwriting career began when she was a youngster, when she would occupy herself on family road trips by putting up goofy tunes with her younger sister.
She began playing the French horn in middle school band class after taking piano lessons and proceeded to high school.
She cultivated her sense of melody by singing the lyrics of cookbook recipes as her father played acoustic guitar.
If you actually listen to Sofi, you will hear a lady fearlessly, hesitantly, but honestly embracing and confronting life expressed in an intimate yet generic way.

Lola Regenthal Calls Up Mike Stern For “Letter To Dad”
Swedish singer and songwriter, Lola Regenthal has finally unleashed her newest single “Letter To Dad” and she taps Mike Stern on this.
The jazzy singer-songwriter’s enveloping voice with amazing depth is combined with enticing tones from Mike Stern, one of the world’s leading guitarists.
Lola sings directly to her loving father in “Letter to Dad,” who unfortunately died after a long fight with illness.
With her flowing words, she focuses on the tiny things in everyday life that may elicit such strong memories of the people we care about the most.
Lola Regenthal is a Swedish songbird from the northern part of the country who traveled to the jazz capital of New York and achieved remarkable success.
Acclaimed performances at iconic venues like as The Bitter End, Metropolitan Room, and Shapeshifter Lab led to a deeper relationship with American jazz guitarist Mike Stern (Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Stan Getz, Michael Brecker, and others).
Mike and Lola remained in contact after she returned to Sweden to be with her family during her father’s sickness. Lola’s father was also a musician who was much influenced by Stern’s music.
Because of Lola’s relationship with Mike, her father was able to speak with his idol on the phone on multiple times, and they met via exciting chats about music. As a result, it was a simple option for Lola and Mike to collaborate on this homage to her father.
As said by her, “I wanted my dad’s song to feel just like the open landscape of Öland, where you can experience the tranquility and closeness to both nature and the sea. Therefore, the airy arrangement leaves a lot of room for both bigger sound and reflection. During Mike’s amazing solo, you can even hear a bird vaguely in the background that started singing outside the studio – I´m thinking it might have been Dad wanting to join in and play along with me and his friend. I hope my music can help us pause for a few minutes and reflect on the lovely things in life and cherish the fond memories we have of what has been lost. I wish that, just like with a movie, you listen through the whole song and allow yourself to really feel.”
The track is the first of four planned releases that will be included on an EP due out in 2022. The release of the CD heralds the beginning of a new chapter in Lola Regenthal’s musical career.
Lola had previously published the album “With You” on Seattle’s Origin Records, the EP “Bye Bye Baby” on Bergman recording, and has been on compilation albums in China.

And when I was 11 I decided to teach myself piano so I could write songs. And ever since then It’s been a huge part of me. And when I went on the journey at 17 years old to figure out what I believed and I decided I didn’t believe in God and didn’t wanna be religious anymore, I reevaluated everything and I found new purpose in my music and used it as an outlet for my feelings.”

I Used To Be Sam Is Very “Gentle” On This New Song
Acclaimed singer, songwriter and recording artiste, I Used To Be Sam is here with her newest single dubbed “Gentle”.
There was a time before Annie Goodchild when there was Sam. After taking an Ancestry DNA test, the celebrated singer, songwriter, and recording artist discovered that she used to go by the name Samantha before she was adopted.
This discovery serves as the catalyst for their new single, ‘Gentle, and is the first single off Goodchild’s upcoming EP of the same name, an exploratory new collection of cinematic, left-field pop that will be released under their new artistic identity I Used To Be Sam.
Goodchild grew up in the suburbs of Boston, in “a full-on Irish home,” listening to ’90s hip-hop and R’nB and singing in church choirs, idolizing “the great female vocalists” Ella Fitzgerald, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, and Janis Joplin.
Annie founded Melou with a diverse and brilliant group of musicians after taking an impulsive journey to Guatemala at the age of 18 and performed around Western Europe and the United States for five years.
Following international success as a featured performer for Scott Bradlee’s musical collaboration Postmodern Jukebox, Goodchild started their solo career six years ago with the glittering vintage sounds of their debut EP ‘A Random Physical Sensation.’
Encouraged to go more, Goodchild struck up chats with other transracial adoptees (TRAs), and their shared experiences shaped I Used To Be Sam’s first EP’s highly intimate nature.
She hopes to utilize this new music as a vehicle to bring individuals with similar experiences together and to change the narrative around transracial adoption.
The release of the EP’s title track is the first of many chapters for I Used To Be Sam; it represents the artist’s boldest, freest, and most confronting music in their illustrious career.
With snappy rhythms, sampled physiological noises reworked as percussion, and cyclical snatches of recorded vocals that provide a lyrical pulse, the music soars and skitters; Goodchild’s voice quivering and yelling with a rawness that comes right from the pit of their stomach.
The songwriting is as adventurous as the author’s journey while composing their most ambitious and honest release to date. Watch the full video below.
Caitlin Quisenberry Presents Acoustic Version Of “Take Only What You Need”
Sensational American songstress, Caitlin Quisenberry has finally presented the acoustic version of “Take Only What You Need”.
Caitlin Quisenberry takes her most well-known songs and reduces them down to their most basic elements, including her vocals, with the help of legendary GRAMMY-winning guitarist Bryan Sutton.
The raw simplicity of this EP, produced by Ben Simonetti (#1 “Same Boat” with Zac Brown Band), creates space, allowing each song to be heard in a more intimate way. It has clarity that can only be found in acoustic music. Listen to “Nashville Stripped” here.
As said by Caitlin, “The idea for stripping down my songs came from LIVE performances where I’ve sung my music acapella. People commented that they would love for me to put out music with just me singing with a guitar.”
“So, this EP is really a response to those comments. I think it’s important to listen closely to your fanbase and give them what they want. Personally, when I listen to acoustic music, I feel more connected to the artist and the lyrics because it’s void of any other distractions.” she added.
Caitlin has been featured in American Songwriter, Country Note, Westword, and ThinkTankNashville, and was called “Nashville’s Newest Darling” by Hype Magazine. Caitlin began singing at the age of three and hasn’t stopped since.
She began recording with multi-GRAMMY-winning producer Robert Cutarella when she was 14 years old, and the next year, she was cast on American Idol, where she won a Golden Ticket and was propelled into Hollywood.
Caitlin developed her skills further while in college, studying in Switzerland with the famous opera soprano Karine Mkrtchyan.
The Colorado native has teamed up with producers Ben Simonetti (#1 with Zac Brown Band), Sal Oliveri (#1 with P!nk and Chris Stapleton), and Jason Wyatt (Top-40 artist) to create music that relates to ordinary life and readily understandable interpersonal interactions.

Los Angeles, CA singer, Charles Fauna bounces back onto the music scenes with this new song named “Diner”.
“Diner” oozes with passion and active thought from the first beat drop and atmospherics. It’s the sort of tune that makes you want to take the long road home so you can pretend you’re in a music video.
You can’t help but believe Charles Fauna is speaking directly to you as the chorus begins.
On what actually inspired the song, Charles says, “Diner was inspired by New Order, Coldplay and classic 80’s pop. Diner is a story song. It’s about a teenage girl whose mother is absent. Her father was always reluctant to have children, only really doing so for the mother. So when the mom is out of the picture the father withdraws from the daughter. He can’t look at her without being reminded of the wife that he will never have again. The girl is left alone in her pain because of her father’s behavior. She decides that if her birth family won’t be there for her, that she must venture forth to create a new family of her own. The open choruses of this song are meant to soundtrack her driving away from that childhood home, pedal to the metal, heartbroken yet for the first time in her life – truly free”
Charles Fauna has always been lured to the glamor and glam of the show industry, as well as the theatrical character of it. Charles’ father, a television producer, allowed him to accompany him to award presentations and concerts.
Even back then, Charles had a feeling it will be him on stage one day. Before moving on to his teen songwriting phase, he took drum classes and taught himself piano.
When college rolled around, though, the prospect of pursuing a full-time career seemed too intimidating. As a result, he enrolled at NYU to study Sociology and relegated music-making to his dorm room.
However, as the years passed, Charles became part of a close-knit group of like-minded artists. At the age of 24, he created Paideia, an experimental music project.
As he gained confidence, he realized that adopting this pseudonym was a method of protecting himself from vulnerability, from completely owning his talent.
As a result, he dropped the stage name in 2017 and began recording songs under his real identity. With millions of streams, critical acclaim, and performance at SXSW, it’s safe to conclude that success has followed.
Eulogy, his debut EP, was published in 2019. Yonder, his debut album, was released in 2020. Listen to the new one below and follow him on social media via @charlesfauna on Instagram and Facebook.
