Lithuanian music artist, whose songs been played on radio stations across Europe and Russia
ViK grew up in a post-soviet city of Lithuania – Vilnius (the capital of Lithuania), where he had not only studied at a local music school, playing trumpet, but had developed his unique music image from scratch, consequently rocketing at the Russian music radio stations Europe, Russia and even Kazakhstan.
Victor Alyashevich (Lithuanian: Viktoras Aliaševičius) born in the mid-1980‘s in Lithuaniaand been raised in the capital city Vilnius. In other words, a tiny little city in a tiny Baltic state. At the time he started school, Lithuania was only starting to position itself as an independent country after so many years being a part of the Soviet Union. He started playing trumpet at the age of 10, while his mother wanted him to play saxophone. Later on with school mates, at the age of 15, they’ve started a band, where ViK played drums and sometimes guitars. However, it didn’t last long. After finishing school and entering “Vilnius Conservatory” to master the trumpet, ViK has left their school-band. Two years later, doctors declared his constant lip nerve problems as a “mission-impossible to heal” situation, which had to stop his music career. He returned back to music only after couple of years, in 2005, when he started composing and playing different instruments again.
ViK began to break into the mainstream of Lithuanian and Russian pop music market following his bands’s GRINGO radio breakthrough in 2009, when their first single “It is impossible to forget you” (Russian: “Тебя забыть невозможно”) went huge on one of the most popular Russian radio stations in Baltic states – “Russkoye Radio Baltiya” (Russian: “Русское Радио Балтия”). In the beginning of 2010 the band got their first award for the song “It is impossible to forget you” as one of the most played songs on “Russkoye Radio Baltiya” in 2009. Thereafter, all songs of the band started to gain international popularity among Russian language speakers in Eastern Europe, giving the band an opportunity to widen their target audience and enter the unresponsive, at the time, music market of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Music collaborations with popular Lithuanian singers (Soliaris, Funky, DJ INLITE) and live show collaborations with well-known Russia’s pop bands made GRINGO closer to their ultimate goal. However, in the beginning of 2011, band members (ViK, MC Skrip, DRIU MC, Dinara) had decided to go on an indefinite hiatus, which lasted for 4 years. In the end of 2015 they got back together, however ViK refused to re-join the band and continued his music journey as an independent music artist.In the following years he released a number of tracks that were picked up by radio stations in Lithuania, Russia, Estonia and Kazakhstan.
We spoke to ViK about how it all started and getting through “against all odds”, about life changes and a multi-language music advantage.
Tell us a little bit about your story. Where and how it all started?
ViK :
I was born in Vilnius, have you ever heard about it? I guess, now we have around 600 000 people living here, it’s the biggest city in my country. I grew up in a so-called poor part of the city (Naujininkai district), where we had to fight physically and emotionally for our well-being. I remember being bullied a lot at school. I think there are lots of famous public figures who started the same way. Being a young kid all I wanted was to grow up fast and become an ultimate manager of my life. This was probably one of the biggest thoughts I dreamed of going to and coming back from school. Later on I started playing trumpet and apparently it changed it all. The more I was mastering music skills, the more I was into it. The so-called breakthrough moment for me was when we started out our first band (INTRO) back in 1999. I started playing drums and guitars. For a shy kid like me it was really exciting. And finally I had a chance to prove my friend and classmates that I’m so much worth of being respected. This period of my life I felt that I am becoming somebody. A true somebody.A year later it all started to feel really busy. I mean, I’ve decided to go on mastering my trumpet skills at Vilnius Conservatory. Moreover, at that time I was playing the trumpet in different dixie bands and orchestras. We were touring Europe participating at the global music fests and events. It was fun, I really enjoyed it. But I didn’t know my life will turn completely around very soon. And that time came even quicker than I thought it would. I had problems with my lip nerve. Doctors said it couldn’t be fixed and convinced me to change my profession or to continue playing music on a different instrument. There was no time to think much about it, I had to make decision fast. So this was it. After re-considering my life priorities, I started looking for opportunities to study at the university and later on I had entered “The ISM University of Management and Economics”. This was the start of a new life.Music career was over for me. At least that’s what I thought.
Who or what inspired you to turn back to music?
ViK :
I wouldn’t call it an inspiration or something. My mother wanted me to become a musician, because she had her own unfulfilled dream being a singer as she was a teenager. So she kind of showed me the direction I needed to go. That’s where it all started. But I guess I should talk about inspiration from a bit different angle. Times, when I felt I was so deeply involved with music, came later. And that’s when I started having this feeling that I am on my way to something big and exciting. That’s how it felt.
You mentioned your first indefinite hiatus ina music career. How did it feel back then?
ViK :
Honestly, it was terrible. I invested so much energy and time into learning and practicing the skill, but at the end I felt so miserable. I was broken and angry at the same time. You know, the way a person feels when love of his/her is dumping him. Being a musician was not only my primary goal but my passion too. Literally I had to change everything and go on a completely different path.
So, if looking at these changes from today’s point-of-view, after you’ve graduated from a business university and, I guess, after having a long career in a totally different professional area, what would you say? Was it worth it? I mean completely changing the vector of life.
ViK :
Life’s is changing all the time. And that’s one of the main lessons I’ve learned so far. When I was younger, I had this rather unmeasurable distance from “I must leave music” to “I am ready to come back”. I would even say, I felt this was not a distance, but a one-way ticket if you will. And you know what? Now I am so happy, that I was wrong.Doing other stuff in life gave me not only much more self-confidence, but made me realize that there are lots of things you can do except music.
In a band GRINGO you had a role of a musician, not a singer or lyricist. Why?
ViK :
At that time,I couldn’t imagine being a singer or even a lyricist. I liked being a vital part of music creation process and playing guitar or piano. Moreover, I was passionate about getting band’s songs further, something like a promoter or a PR agent. And it felt right back then.
Have you ever considered yourself as a solo artist?
ViK :
Well,I guess I didn’t have much time to think about that. We had a lot to do with GRINGO. Moreover, my full-time job wouldn’t let me concentrate on one more music project.
I am wondering, is it ok to call you a “music warrior”?
ViK :
I would rather call myself a life warrior instead.
So, when you switched to your solo project, was it easy to start it alone, knowing that not long time ago you were a part of a so called team-band?
ViK :
That’s a tricky part. I’ve left the band because in the end you could hardly call it a team. It felt like we became completely separate independent artists while still being in a band. That’s was the start of an end. And that’s where I thought I could do it alone and rely on myself. And you know – that was the right thing to do.
You’ve started your thing in 2013. You’ve been an independent solo artist for almost 4 years now. How does it feel and what are the main “milestones” you would pick out from this period?
ViK :
When I went on a free climb, meaning that I had no particular rules for my own songs, I realized that it’s ok to experiment with the sound and to do whatever I’m are interested in. That’s what I did. In the early 2014, my first single written in Lithuanian language hit mainstream on Lithuanian radio stations. Then I’ve released another single in Russian language that was picked up by “Russkoye Radio Baltiya”. I think this fast rise of me as a solo artist was earned, because I worked really hard not only on a sound of these tracks but on a musical value as a whole. And it worked out very well I guess.
Would you consider yourself as a multi-language multi-style music artist?
ViK :
Something like that. You see, each of my tracks is different from the previous one. And by saying different I mean completely different. Because that’s the way each song can have its own unique emotions. This is very the magic part is. I do not really care if my voice sounds differently in each of my songs, or that my rap flow, let’s say, isn’t as fancy as other rappers may have. All that matters to me is emotion. As long as the listener feels me, I’m good. The same is with language. I have an ability to write lyrics in two languages, why not doing this? It’s interesting and gets you wider audience.
Do you care what other artists/music critics think about you?
ViK :
I care what the listener has to tell about my art, not me. And if this other musician is my listener, I certainly care what he/she has to tell.

JAKE WARD, SINGER-SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER, RELEASES DEBUTE.P: SOUND WITH INTENTION
Discovering his passion for music at a very young age and subsequently attempting to master a variety of musical instruments, Ward is a self-taught up-and-coming artist who writes all of his original songs from personal experiences and observations.
“I think creating your own music is somewhat inherent in teaching yourself to play – or at least that was the case for me,” said Ward. “I knew at a young age, particularly after listening to the Goo Goo Dolls, that I wanted music to be more than just a hobby for myself. So I set out to master playing, singing, writing, and producing – and here I am today with my first solo 5-track album now on Soundcloud.”
Ward attributes his musical awakening to listening to the Goo Goo Dolls when he was just 13 years old. Other musical influences on him include John Mayer, U2, The Script, and a ton of 2000s era pop punk, like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, All Time Low, and Yellowcard. In the beginning of his musical career, Ward played in a metalcore band where he was exposed to extremely technical and progressive music.
Today, his style can be described as acoustic-pop with singer-songwriter and folk influences. Every one of his songs was written with an acoustic guitar as the base instrument. On Sound With Intention, listeners can hear multiple layers of guitars setting the foundation for every song.
Ward kicked off his musical career at 11 years old, playing an acoustic cover of “Crash” by The Primitives at a school recital. Since then, he has played or filled in for local California artists, participated in summer camps, and continually finds various opportunities to get on the stage and play. In 2013, he recorded an EP titled “Boxes & Strings” for an acoustic project called “Fall Forward” with his younger brother, Carl. After graduating high school, he started a metal project with a classmate, releasing an EP called “Ignite” under the name Skypark.
Ward left Skypark 1.5 years ago to pursue his own musical career as a solo artist. He has played on big stages with the help of his friend Santa Cruz pop artist T3TRA.

Interview with DH - Dan Hanecak
Check out the interview :
Love Music : Tell us a little bit about yourself. your background, education, your music etc. ??
I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania. My dad was a professional musician, so music was a big part of my childhood. I took piano and guitar lessons growing up, but started writing raps around 14 pretty much through college. I went to law school with the idea that I would start my own business and when I felt right about pursuing entertainment, I would just “know.” Writing was really a hobby for me until a few years ago when one of my best friends not only got me back into rapping, but helped motivate me to take the next step. Once I got in the studio and began to feel comfortable, there was just no turning back for me.
Love Music : What is the secret behind your success ?
I think that people find my music fun and relatable, but there’s also a deeper creative element in my lyrics for those that want to look for it. The climate right now is so divisive and polarizing that I think sometimes people just want to tune it out and have a good time. But I also like to be who I am—it’s not a persona. I strive to be the same person on my tracks as I am in everyday life and I think that’s something people appreciate.
Love Music : Are you working on any new project in this year ?
Right now our main focus is promoting my first single, Tiger (Do the Putt Putt), and the release of Risky Business in April 2017, my first EP. I’m still writing and releasing new remixes and songs during this time, but our focus is the EP. The goal is to begin my first full length studio album sometime later this year.
Love Music : Please tell us more about your golf-themed rap song , Tiger (Do the Putt Putt) ?
One of the first things that people think about when it comes to golf is Tiger Woods. Our goal in writing the song was to come up with something fun and catchy, but also have a dance that was east to do and get the crowd involved. We named it Tiger as an homage to him because he completely changed the face of the game. People became fans of golf that had never followed professional golf closely. There are also a lot of references to golf in pop culture in there ranging from Happy Gilmore to Caddyshack. We had no idea the song would turn out the way it did when we wrote it, but as soon as we heard it we knew we were on to something.
Love Music : Why you choose this profession ? because you're also a successful lawyer of San Diego.
I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in entertainment. I put it on hold to enter law school, and as backwards as it sounds, I went to law school to have that be my fall back plan down the road. I didn’t like the prospect of living paycheck to paycheck and starting my career later, so I went to school with the plan to start my own business, and when the time felt right, I’d pursue entertainment. I was always writing lyrics and sending them to my friends and so a couple of years ago it just felt right to step into a booth and see what I could actually do instead of just saying “oh I could do that.”
Love Music : Who are your musical inspirations ?
I love funk music, so when it comes to beats, I’d have to say Earth, Wind and Fire, Roger and Zapp, and Dr. Dre, anything that the old school west coast sampled. Those are the beats I’m always looking for. On the lyrical side, guys that have complicated rhymes but also those who can interject humor and tell a story. In no order I’d say Big L, Eminem, Tupac, Biggie, Slaughterhouse (especially Royce 5’9” and Joell Ortiz), Ludacris, Rakim, and definitely some Lloyd Banks and Fabolous for their ability to create witty punch lines.
Love Music : What motivates you to do your best work as a musician ?
People visibly enjoying my work is at the top. It sounds obvious as an artist, but the feeling I get from seeing my work move people or get them excited about my projects motivates me more. On the flip side, whether it’s music or anywhere in my life, I’ve always enjoyed proving people wrong. And that’s not just being able to rap well, but doing so as an attorney. Our country focuses so much on putting us in boxes based on our occupation. There is no rulebook saying we can’t pursue our passion or dreams just because it doesn’t intertwine with our daily job. That in and of itself has probably become one of my greater motivations.
Love Music : What’s your advice to an aspiring musician / rapper ?
What I was told is that you need to sound like someone who’s out there, but not sound like anyone at the same time. Which really equates to finding your own niche or making your own lane. That requires persistence, but also an ability to ask yourself hard questions and listen to constructive criticism and adjust. Ultimately, stick to who you are at the core, but don’t be afraid to try something new to find your niche or your lane.
Love Music : Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time ?
Work out, play sports (baseball, football, golf, basketball), yoga, watch sports, beat my friends in fantasy football, naps, traveling, reading books, keeping up with the news, and hanging out with my cats Royce and Avatar.
Love Music : How can people find you and follow you online?

Music Styles of blues : Jump blues
Not all varieties of the blues are sad and down-tempo. A prime example of a style of the blues that doesn’t feel so “blue” at all is Jump blues. This up-tempo and energetic style of blues music became popular in the 1940’s and thrilled audiences at the time as it was just the kind of music to get you up, close to someone and moving with them.
