Well I always wanted to do something unique and different, something that It didn't really exist and could call my own but I wanted to stay at my roots and that is Phonk.

Interview with Lvndxnisdevd

Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

I want to be in a band, sucks sometimes being a loner. I struggled to find the means to pursue music full time and found myself again. College sucks I always wanted the real college experience.

Love Music: Anything you want to share with us about your music? 

I make it on my phone like I legit just finally got an audio interface and a microphone again.

Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about your newest single 'Love'?

I really was digging the beat when I heart it, I have a remix coming out with Rapper Youry soon. We shall see.

Love Music: What's the reason behind choose this name for your single?

Because the beat when I bought it was originally called “I Want You” - I thought of changing the want to love and calling it “I Love You” didn’t seem to make much sense because I’m not sure who the word you would of been pertaining too. You know… ha.

Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

I wanted to get verified by the end on SoundCloud at the very least and I did by it in about 3 weeks. This year was brutal I’m grateful for everything I have in my life. I also am stoked about being on BillboardHipHop.

Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

I am my biggest fan and my biggest hater but I would really like to focus on making sure all my debts are paid and I am just comfortable and secure and finish up my business degree so I can finish what I started.

Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work?

A higher purpose.

Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

It’s the only thing I get satisfaction out of. Unfortunately, the creative curse runs in my family because my mother and my grandfather also perform and make music and have for years and years. I believe my grandmother on my father’s side was an opera singer when she was young and she loved it from what I gather. My step father has played the keys for I believe almost 60 years now.

Love Music: Your fav. Song?

I go through phases. Not sure if somehow maybe externally inclined to or naturally. Nevertheless, to answer the question right now I have been listening to a song called Dirt by Dream Drop on repeat.

Love Music: Are you active on social media?

Who isn’t? I have to manage literally - and I’m not exaggerating over 100+ different social media sites of all kinds and it is draining. Being fully independent and still relevant is not for the weak willed or weak of heart. People who make music always want people to just check them out but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about listening more than talking. Always learning what the culture has to offer and what you could learn to become better at what you do.

Interview with Multivision - An Alternative Rock Band

Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself.Your background, education, music passion etc.?

We were formed as a band in 2015. StIM and Bill knew each other since they were kids, and they shared their passion for music through different projects. However, not until they met their main guitarist Jim, could the band style take shape. Bill Melachroinos and Jason joined a little while after into the setup, quite smoothly. 

As a band, we want to create our music, coming through the mix of different music passions and backgrounds between members. We range from classical and jazz, to folk and traditional, and of course our common affection for alternative rock sounds.

Love Music: Anything you want to share with us about your music?

Whilst it might not seem original, we want to create our music in order to pass our message. Our first EP was more experiential, focusing on feelings and moments from our lives, while this FL album, Choose, expands on this with the implementation of other social messages we want to share, regarding the digitalisation of the society, the actual cost of money, etc. 

Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about your debut album?

Of course! Choose was created as a concept back in 2018, however due to difficulties in scheduling, it was not finalised until early 2021. The style develops on our previous EP, Lucius, bringing new ideas from Blues and Rock genre into the mix. We focused on bringing the emotional experience in front, at each one of the songs, ranging from shadiness to affection and to rage and eventually positiveness, all along. Along with the album we created the music video for one of the songs, Bourbon Skies, which shares a rather hopeful message in the end (it’s not a secret, but you can check it on your own via our link)

Love Music: Any upcoming project?

We are already preparing our next video clip for the song Digital Sea, at the same time we are ready to start the recordings of our second album which is gonna be ready for next year, But currently we focus on sharing CHOOSE via different means (radios, blogs social media etc) and of course we prepare for the promo tour of it, with gigs in late 2021 - early 2022, so stay tuned! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ7RAfaprRg&ab_channel=MultiVision

Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

We are on our first steps as a band,yet with so much experience between members, we believe the most exciting achievements came when we actually realised we could combine our personalities to create our music.

Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

Spread our music globally, preferably with live shows everywhere!

Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work?

We found out that during these years, when many difficulties arose, we as band members were next to each other, and this turns out to be the most motivating factor between us. 

Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

It always starts as a hobby but we have a lot to share with the world and thats the way we think careers starts.

Love Music: Your fav. Song?

Maybe Get Lucid 

Love Music: Are you active on social media?

Of course, we are on all platforms : facebook, instagram, tweeter, you name it! We try to be as socially active as possibly, and the fact is that we prefer to handle our own accounts rather than having a social media manager (which is in fashion these days).

Interview with Apricity

How did you come by your Artist name?

It is from the Latin word meaning Basking in the warmth of the sun. It suited the Canadian climate especially thinking about the winter.

Which famous musicians do you admire? Why?

Kate Bush, female vocalists such as Garbage’s Shirley Mason, Alanis Morrissette, and Blondie’s Debbie Harry, Amy Lee I love! I enjoy their passionate storytelling performances.

When and why did you start singing?

I grew up listening to music. It was always playing, more so than TV. I enjoy it and if I can be part of it, I wanted to. It’s an appreciation. I used to run around with a hairbrush as a microphone infront of the mirror. From then I went on to singing in public, shows and a few TV shows as a child. I auditioned for Top Of The Pops and was told I was too young !

What makes this kind of music “good” to you?

What can I say I am a fan of the 90’s rock alternative and of course listening to the flashback 80’s songs. Definitely where I pull an influence from.

Let’s Talk about your music and your last work… 

My last and first work!

This is my debut single (All My lies) Followed up by the second release (TheFear) from my upcoming EP that will be coming out in The single is dark , hitting on points about others having expectations they feel you need to live up to. You choose your own path and not what someone else wants from you. Be true to yourself.

How do you feel about the internet in the music business?

Great questions. I am sure everyone has a different view point and feeling. It is the future I believe, which has it’s good points and bad. Social media in this day and age, is a huge part of everything in life. It is a great marketing tool and a way to reach people all over the world. You can make connections quickly. It is a great way to reach out to your fans, especially during this year with the Pandemic. Online concerts, virtual meetings…huge part of this year. Social Media platforms have given musicians more control over the distribution of their music I do believe. Whether this is going to become the way the industry is going…time will tell. I believe we have to be adaptable to be successful.

What are the plans for the future?

I see myself continuing along this path. I am hoping I will be able to successfully tour, depending on the world situation. What matters is to be happy in what you are doing and to continue to grow and learn I have a willingness and commitment to improve myself.

Could you briefly describe the music-making process?

It is dependent upon the song and needs of that song. Currently I am very lucky with amazing song writers and a top notch Producer and team, Thomas (my producer) has pushed me to strive for a consistent level of excellence. He was tough but in the nicest of ways. He was constantly pushing me to be better, and honestly, that’s exactly what I wanted to get out of this experience.

Would you rather be on a major label or would you rather stay independent?

I want to make success on my own terms when I make realistic achievable plans and use my determination to follow through. Whether I stay independent or team up with a label, there are so many deciding facts around both. What’s right for me might not be for someone else. A lot of thought will go into a decision made.

What is the last artist/band you listened to this week?

Just finished listening to FairGround Attraction.

What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

This year has been most difficult, not just on myself but everyone due to the pandemic. I have never experienced anything like this. This year has been challenging for everyone. I’m working to finish recording my debut EP and

I am just trying to stay focused and hope that we can get back to being some kind of normal? Through this last year and a half I have met so many talented people I have been able to work with. It’s uplifting. It has kept me going.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shout outs?

I have been so lucky to work with an amazing group of people. Exeter Sound Studio- producer Thomas McKay. Vic FLORENCIA, who is such a top-notch Engineer… Phil from Lacquer Channel Mastering and Ms Rique Franks

The Dropoutentertainment Team and Director Jesse Read. To bring this vision together on video. Not to mention a bunch of talented actors, local dancers for the video shoots, and friends- Mel Busst , Charmaine Carr !

Interview with Anthony Casuccio | Grammy Nominated Veteran Music Producer

Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

I have always had an affinity for music. From hearing my first Beatles song to Van Halen, I loved the guitar and started playing at an early age. I went to college for sound recording technology and started working in the music industry in New York City right out of college. I was remastering older music from well named artists like Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett. From there I started my own company Xtream Audio and had a lot of success working on 3 Grammy nominated and topping various charts with my clients. I had national jingles airing on TV. I started a band called A&L finding success in the UK charting 9 times on various Indie music charts and reaching the top 20 8 times.

Love Music: We been hearing a lot about you, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?

It feels good! I have been working at this for a while and feel that my efforts are starting to pay off. I am playing the long game and am strategically working the promotion aspect to gain lasting connections and coverage.

Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about 'Emotional Lockdown'?

Emotional Lockdown is my first solo effort in over 20 years. This music endeavor was born during the Covid lockdown. “I am always working on other people’s musical projects. The lockdown gave me the time and mental fortitude to start writing music. Locked in my studio, Music was my main outlet to deal with the isolation. I composed over a dozen songs. A guitarist by trade, this musical release is a new venture, The songs are pop/EDM in style with flourishes of rock guitar. Having more than enough for an EP, I split up the songs with more radio-friendly songs going on the EP and the others for my live DJ set.

Love Music: Any upcoming project?

I am always working on various musical projects for other people. I am going to concentrate on this release for the next few months.

Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

That is a tough question. I have been so fortunate to have worked with so many great people on so many amazing projects. Working on Grammy nominated albums is a career highlight. Hearing my music in soap operas and on nations commercials is always a thrill.

Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

Just to be a positive, good person.

Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work as a music producer?

I think being OCD when it comes to my production, there is no excuse to not fixing any issues. If you hear it and it is wrong or bothers you or a client, fix it. It has never been easier to make corrections and changes to your music using the latest programs.

Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

I feel you don’t choose music, it chooses you. How you accept this internal pull is up to you. I choose it as a career.

Love Music: Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

I like to be near water. Swimming, boating or a drink on the beach. I also love to read music biographies.

Love Music: How can people find you and follow you online?
