Building Down – Vapor

Alt rock meets modern-day vibes on new EP from grunge rocker Building Down 

BOISE, ID – Nick Elliott is not afraid to speak the truth. His music is a perfect example of that. While he has nothing against love songs or the carefree lyrics of Pop music, his intention as an artist is to bring something deeper to the table. His music is the kind of music that touches on the deeper truths of the world. Like many people who have turned to music to help them understand the hardships of life, Elliott uses music to cope with difficult situations and delve deeper into the mysteries of life that often seem confusing and discouraging. And along the way he has found an outlet not only for himself, but for others. As such, his music has become the kind of introspective entertainment that fans all over the world have come to love and appreciate.  

That process is what led to the name Building Down, which is what he uses as a stage name. Pulled from an old Blind Willie Johnson song, the name reflects the idea of tearing down the broken pieces of the past so as to build something stronger and new. It’s an idea connected with what’s happening in society and across the global landscape, with the intention of using music to inspire others to seek out positive change in their approach to social justice. 

“My music is trying to reach for something a little higher,” Elliott said. “I’m trying to do that through a mix of rock, electronic, blues and folk, all while embracing instrumentation. People aren’t embracing instrumentation anymore, and it makes me sad because you don’t hear that guitar-driven sound like you used to. I would love to be on the forefront of a revival of guitar riffs and guitar solos.” 

Elliott’s latest EP “Just Enough” is the perfect example of that guitar-forward instrumentation. Featuring an alt-rock style that blends elements of electronic and Indie/Folk, the project displays his early influences of Blues while also expanding on modern-day sounds that could only be called “progressive.” With “Just Enough,” Elliott shows the world a new style and sound that is equal parts intriguing and entertaining.  

The debut single from the EP is a song called “Vapor.” Fans of late 90s and early 2000s alt rock will immediately identify with the sound from this song, as it hearkens back to bands like Better Than Ezra or Chevelle. Elliott embraces that grunge sound, but sets it against electronic-infused vibes that create an ethereal experience. The intriguing juxtaposition of the weeping electric guitar walking a line against a counter-point grungy electric guitar rhythm is nothing short of inspired. The song starts with an entrancing intro that pulls you in and then picks up as it goes along, and the overall ride is extremely enjoyable.  

“This song reflects my observations of what is happening in America and what is happening in the world as a whole,” Elliott said. “People are going with how they feel more often than not, and they aren’t considering the ramifications of their actions. Their feelings lead them to dangerous ideas. When your feelings are your only barometer, it can lead you astray. It’s all too common in society today to hear the idea of ‘if you follow your heart it’ll all be OK,’ but clearly that doesn’t all work out. This song – and by extension, the full EP – highlights the fallacy of that statement and tries to warn people not to fall for those lies.” 

“Vapor” is slated to release on Oct. 22, with “Just Enough” set to follow shortly after on Nov. 12. To listen to Building Down’s music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

n.e.r.d. life by D’vo – Butterflies

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Experimental artist blends new-wave Hip-Hop with Neo-Soul for intriguing vibe on ‘The Codex’ series 

HOUSTON, TX – n.e.r.d. life by D’Vo is an Experimental Hip-Hop and Soul Artist whose Christian hip-hop series “The Codex” has been offering enlightenment and healing through entertaining artistry to thousands of audiences around the world. His latest contribution to the series is “Court Vision,” an album that serves as the third installment of “The Codex” series. Featuring advanced storytelling from a unique point of view, with a God-centric vibe, the album offers a different perspective from what many fans of hip-hop might have become accustomed to over the years.  

“At this stage, I’ve realized my genre, which is Experimental Hip-Hop and Neo-Soul,” n.e.r.d. life by D’Vo said. “With this album, I’m telling a story in between each track – something I haven’t done before – in order to give listeners a deeper experience.” 

The debut single from the project is a song called “Butterflies,” which D’Vo said has already received a lot of accolades from industry insiders and fans alike. With “Butterflies,” listeners will hear a nostalgic vibe against lyrics that explore the feelings you get when you’re about to do something you love. For D’Vo, that means creating new music. It’s also a song that perfectly showcases this talented young artist’s unique sound and style. 

“My sound is definitely a different one from mainstream music today,” he said. “Experimental music can give you a range of different genres in one body of work. My music tends to fall in line with artists like Childish Gambino, Oddisee, and even the legendary group A Tribe Called Quest. But what’s even more unique about me compared to their music is the modulated voices I use to tell stories. I want something that stands out, which is why I have the name n.e.r.d. life by D’Vo, which is an acronym for Needing Eternal Redemption and Deliverance – something I believe the world needs. I want to incorporate that theme into all my music.” 

Ultimately, D’Vo said he wants his music to be known for standing up for God. He said he always has believed that if you don’t stand up for something, you’ll fall for anything. And for him, God and the purpose He brings to D’Vo’s life is something he’s constantly trying to stand up for. 

“It’s what keeps me grounded,” he said. “I hope the message in my music will help other people choose to get grounded in the things of God. He only wants what’s best for us.” 

D’Vo said after “Court Vision,” he plans to continue to release more music and ultimately wants “The Codex” series to include eleven full albums. He’s already working on the next volume, while also fleshing out the look-and-feel of the character he’s created to take listeners on the journey of his story. That character will be featured in D’Vo’s first fully animated music video coming out in the next few months.

Di’Atti – Demons

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Di’Atti Debuts with High Energy “Demons” 

LOS ANGELES – Sometimes, you just know you want to be a musician. That was the case for Di’Atti, a self-proclaimed nomad born in Houston, raised in Nebraska, and calls home Mar Vista, a suburb of Los Angeles. 

“One day, I just sat down and thought that I’ve always liked music. I heard a lot of music, and sometimes the lyrics just didn’t match for me. I wanted the lyrics to say what was in my head. So, I started to write a verse here and there.” 

And that was the beginning of Di’Atti’s career as an artist.  

His first EP, “Off to New Hampshire,” is currently available on streaming platforms and getting noticed by listeners attracted to his energy-packed rap and rhythm style of singing.  

For Di’Atti, writing lyrics is not just taking pen to paper – it is life-changing. “I get a feeling that goes through my whole body, the energy and everything with it. I hear a beat, and it sparks something in my head. I just go off, and the words come,” he explained.  

Unlike other artists who simply rap to the beat, Di’Atti changes the music landscape with innovative flows and hooks that dig deep in listeners’ souls, making them want more.  

When asked about his specific tone and sound, he said, “It’s a unique pitch. I’ve always been told that it stands out well from others and is very distinct. Maybe it is because my voice isn’t exactly like anyone else’s.” 

That individuality is one key ingredient to “Off to New Hampshire.” The EP contains seven tracks which Di’Atti refers to as a “mixed tape” because each song is different in style and tone but maintains his pitch and perfection for writing lyrics. “You can hype up to it and just relax to it. It has a little bit of everything,” he said. 

Getting noticed by listeners worldwide, “Demons” is gaining traction and airplay as new listeners discover Di’Atti.  

“Everybody in life has that point, where they finally get to, where they want to be. But there’s just something that could be in the closet – a demon. Demons are a good word to describe what people will be going through. It’s just something inside that always aches at them,” he explained. 

Taking a page from his nomadic lifestyle, Di’Atti added, “I want people to listen to it and be in tune with themselves. So, they can relate to whatever that problem may be.” 

Another track on his debut EP is “HollyWood,” the perfect song to play while driving or at a party to get things started with its deep vibes and decent raps.  

Looking ahead to the future, Di’Atti said, “I just want y’all to feel good when listening to my music. I feel good making it, and I hope the energy I put into it reflects. Hopefully, you get the same good energy that I felt. If we can all tune in and come into sync, the energy is going to be wild. I’m all for good vibrations.”

Craig Watson (Unwanted) – Rodeo

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Unwanted Begins with Clips of Greatness to Come 

PHILADELPHIA – Fifteen-year-old Unwanted is laying down some melodies and raps that have fans wanting more.  

Born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love, Unwanted takes a unique approach to enter the music industry. Instead of dropping a few singles, he is posting short clips of his raps varying in style and themes on Instagram and YouTube, all in the hopes of attracting the attention of hip-hop rapper fans – and it is working.  

“I got more to bring, and this is only a portion of what I can do,” said Unwanted. “There is more to come in the future. It’s somethin’ way bigger than what meets the eye. I’m different.” 

While other rappers are lacing their lyrics with profanity, Unwanted said it is a choice to rap clean and make sure that he never disrespects people, especially women. Perhaps his grandmother, who he affectionately refers to as Mom-Mom, had that influence on him. She has raised him since his birth. Hence the name “Unwanted” is about his biological parents, but not Mom-Mom and his fans.  

“When it comes to lyrical content from me, it’s like I’m always trying to get a point across, not only to the audience but myself as well,” he explained. 

By using a rhythm perfectly sprinkled with a cadence of a never-ending vibe, Unwanted creates a poetic melody with each rap.  

When asked what sets him apart from other young rappers, Unwanted said, “My lyrical content with my age, and the topics I’m talking about and the way I come across is me. When it comes to technical things like delivery and cadence, it’s just me. You know, it’s never fiction when it comes down to tracks.” 

Currently, Unwanted has hit on various topics for his songs, including his father, growing up in Philadelphia, and the life experiences he’s endured. Taking his cues from rappers like Eminem, Unwanted is drawn to songs that tell stories. “I love artists like that because I look at not only when it comes to certain tracks that they’ve created but their life and its life stories. They also represent themselves and their music, so that’s what’s so dope about it,” he added. 

However, when this teen reflects on his life and what he hopes to accomplish, Unwanted said, “I’ve wanted to be an artist for a long time. Honestly, as I kept doing it, I noticed that it made me happy, and now it’s like a piece of me. Someday, when I’m in a good position, maybe I can change a great amount of people and their perspectives on life.” 

The perspective is about to change – and soon – with the release of his first single, “Rodeo.” After getting a solid footing in the music industry, Unwanted is ready to take the next step.  

“Rodeo” will drop in a few weeks, showcasing Unwanted’s trademark cadence and metaphoric rhymes. With additional songs to follow, Unwanted is going to be a wanted man by his fans.

Rock Star Gang – Mobbin

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

RichardTheRockStar Grinds Out New Era Hip Hop with the Rockstar Gang 

JACKSON – Northern California native RichardTheRockStar (RTRS) has always been making music his way. From messing around with instruments in elementary school to home producing licks at age 15, RTRS creates music with no rules. Now, the artist, writer, producer, and businessman is making a splash with “Mobbin” as he redefines the hip-hop genre.  

“With New Era Hip Hop, we try to be culturally diverse and include people and sounds and add influences from all walks of life,” explained RTRS. “When hip hop came out, it just clicked on where it pulled its roots from. But it got to a point where people stopped trying to be original as much. Then it was cut-and-paste from there. We are trying to change that.” 

The “we” refers to is the Rockstar Gang, comprised of friends, Baked Beka and Jshxtta. The trio creates an eclectic mixture of sounds against New Era Hip Hop that forms an organic and unique sound showcasing their diversity and rebelliousness.  

Baked Beka, a social media influencer from the Bay Area, is a model and street survivor who has started rapping with the group. A longtime friendship with RTRS has blossomed into a confident and sassy rapper that fans adore.  

Jshxtta brings his talents to the studio by experimenting and mixing music to create the group’s authentic Bay Area sound. Coupled with RTRS’s energy and persistence, the Rockstar Gang’s sound is defined by trust, experimentation, and passion.  

“We all are free to be who we are,” said RTRS. “That’s the most important thing of being an artist. No matter what life puts in front of you, no matter what opposition, no matter what kind of scary circumstances, you must stick to yourself and your heart. When you do that, you build something more powerful than any of that. And that’s what the Rockstar Gang is.” 

Showcasing their talents, the trio’s latest single, “Mobbin,” is gaining popularity on streaming platforms, and its high-energy music video continues the Rockstar Gang’s story. 

“‘Mobbin’ is a vision that we’ve had as friends for a long time and just sticking to the plan to what works to the money,” explained RTRS.  

The “vision” is what sets “Mobbin” apart from other songs. It is the unity of the Rockstar Gang and their talents that light up during the track.  

“The way that we come together, especially on the third verse where we start going back and forth with what happened and sharing it, is telling a story together,” he said. “If you watch our videos in order, it’s a storyline, almost like a TV series, but it’s with our lives. You watch it, and it all ties together.” 

Their story began with the debut single, “Bananas,” and continues to showcase each artist’s unique attributes that they bring to the gang. Instead of being the cookie-cutting group where one artist is featured, the Rockstar Gang turns the spotlight on each member. Much like the Black-Eyed Peas, where the group comprises diverse members, the Rockstar Gang has a mix of talent, styles, and up-tempo energy that blends for music perfection.  

With six videos “in the tank” and awaiting release, RTRS said the gang is gearing up to take their music to the people as the touring dates crank up. Future dates in California, Arizona, and Oklahoma are just the beginning as they take New Era Hip Hop to fans.  

“I hope people enjoy what we put out there and are entertained by it,” he said. “We’re just trying to make something that people can sit back and smile, or at least just forget about their life, for a minute.”

Aznar – Nightless

ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Deep House maestro Aznar offers mellow groove on new hit single ‘Nightless’ 

VALENCIA, SPAIN – When Rick Eckboch creates a song, he does it with human connection as his inspiration. Nothing brings more joy to the heart of this producer than seeing people dancing to a beat that started as an idea. His latest offering – a Deep House vibe called “Nightless” – is the perfect testament of that. 

With a mellow EDM foundation that makes good use of mid-tempo dance grooves, “Nightless” is a song with an easy, driving beat paired against ethereal synths that provide an intriguing counterpoint melody. It’s tantric and entrancing. It’s a song that takes the listener on a journey and doesn’t let go. 

“Sometimes when you’re in cold weather and driving home at night and it’s cold outside and you have the heat on in the car … that’s the feeling I’m trying to capture with this song,” Eckboch said. “That feeling of being safe and cozy and not wanting to leave the car no matter what because it feels so good in that moment. That’s exactly how I feel when I think about this song.” 

Beginning his journey as a music producer at the age of 12, his deep love for the craft has been a part of him since adolescence. As a producer of his own music and offering his skills as a ghost producer to enable others to express themselves, Rick’s passion is leaving a lasting impact on the people who come into contact with his beats. Honing his profound mixing and mastering skills through many years of dedicated practice has equipped him to produce a variety of hit tracks. 

Rick’s first love was Minimal and Tech House; before online music streaming. Rick would visit a local record store in his hometown, Valencia, Spain, buying vinyl records to access his favorite genres of music. The owner of the vinyl shop was a producer and well-known DJ, Hector Alias, who gave Rick his first introduction to music production and DJing. Hector, who has since passed, was formative to Rick’s story and inspired him to maintain a caliber of work that would make him proud.  

Today Rick operates under the stage name Aznar. Though he makes his home in Spain, he also frequently travels to the U.S. and the Dominican Republic, and has developed strong relationships with other artists and industry insiders all over the world. He has plenty of experience mixing and mastering for top Latin artists such as Rochy RD, Quimico UltramegaLírico en La Casa, Ceky ViciniShelow Shaq, and many other Dominican artists.  

Since building his professional studio in the past yearAznar has shifted from the Latino market to producing primarily Deep House. An encounter with cancer hasn’t stopped him – if anything, it has helped inspire more profound self-expression. He has, in fact, found that his connection with Deep House is the best way to expose his feelings and inspire an authentic connection with those who follow him. 

“If someone is happy with my music, that’s all I want,” he said. “I’m not trying to leave a big legacy or anything. I just want to help people enjoy life.” 

Aznar’s music is accessible on all reputable streaming and purchasing platforms. His mission is to move people worldwide and leave an indelible mark on them through his music, which traverses all boundaries. With his current global reach, he aims to continue expanding his audience as he consistently releases new music and strives to create a sense of unity amongst society with every new beat that he puts out.

Becktoria – I Like It Like That

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Becktoria’s Latest Single ‘I Like It Like That’ Climbs the Charts 

LOS ANGELES – Model, actress, and artist Becktoria is putting her mark on the music industry with her latest single, “I Like It Like That,” – and fans are loving it.  

Born in Burma, raised in England, and now residing in California, Becktoria was influenced by Celine Dion, Sia, and The Chainsmokers. Mix that trio, and you have a unique new sound second to only Becktoria’s pop and indie sound.  

Her latest single, “I Like It Like That,” reached the Billboard Top 40 Indicator Chart, charted on numerous other charts, and got regular airplay on web and radio channels. Internationally, Becktoria is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the industry as she blazes a path destined for stardom.  

“My goal in life is to help people to find their happiness and inner peace and just love life,” said Becktoria. “Make the most of life and live every day to its fullest.” 

Spoken from experience, Becktoria’s past includes a successful modeling career that earned her beauty pageant titles, a Bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences, and a Master’s degree. If that was not enough, Becktoria has worked with artists across the globe, which has propelled her popularity worldwide.  

When asked why she chose music instead of acting or modeling, she replied, “I’ve always been passionate and been inspired by music. I studied music at a young age and played multiple instruments in many orchestras and ensembles, including singing in the choir and the school pop band. Halfway through studying biomedical sciences, I realized I wanted to pursue music professionally. I wanted to do something more creative and how I could express my feelings. Music was always there for me.” 

Experimenting with her first EP, Becktoria based her songs on love and breakups by using metaphors throughout each song. “It was based on my dreams, and then I just related it to love and real life.” 

However, her latest EP, “Goodbye & Hello,” demonstrates her growth as an artist, as fans have deemed it her best yet. The straightforward lyrics are coupled with pop melodies and Becktoria’s signature sound, making each track relatable. The entire EP is taken from Becktoria’s life.  

“The EP has a couple of different meanings, like saying goodbye to my relationship and hello to a new relationship. All the songs are structured in order. So, the first thing is, I said goodbye to my love, and then the next one is finding new love and loving love. And then going through some problems with the new relationship and then breaking up again,” she explained. 

Looking back at the EP and its five songs, Becktoria knows her fans can relate to saying farewell to a relationship and going through the sadness and joy of finding new love and the roller coaster of emotions it brings.  

Taking inspiration from artists such as Katy Perry, Bebe Rexha, and Lizzo, Becktoria hopes to inspire listeners with her music. Her infectious pop and indie-influenced sounds are perfect for the dance floor, singing in the car, slow dancing with your lover, and looking ahead to your best life yet to be lived.

ML Underwood – BOS$ PLAYA (ft. Aya Ito)

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

ML Underwood Continues to Reign as a “Boss Playa” 

GARY, INDIANA – Hip hop artist and producer ML Underwood is back on the scene and dropping beats like never before with his latest single “Bos$ Playa,” featuring Aya Ito. Racking up more than 3,700 views after just hours of its premiere on YouTube, “Bos$ Playa” is cementing ML Underwood as the boss.  

“Millionaires, they make a lot of money, work hard, like to smoke and have a nice drink, and just celebrate success – that is a boss playa. And I’m a boss, I’ve always been a boss playa,” said ML Underwood.  

When asked further about his latest single, Underwood explains, “It just lays the groundwork for how a real man proves himself in this world we live in right now. Instead of snitching on people and bringing us down to save themselves or hating on another person, I try to tell people to stay away from things of that nature. It is about being positive really and at the same time being a gangsta.” 

While the “Bos$ Playa” video is filled with living the high life as a player, Underwood’s latest single is more than just glitz and glamour. Using LeBron James and the late Kobe Bryant as examples, Underwood said, “They are on the team, and how they lead the team (is) they work together with a team to win, and that’s how I live my life. I’m a boss playa out here in the field of life, and it’s the way you move through it so you can win.” 

That mentality of playing to win and win as a team makes Underwood stand out in the industry. However, Underwood is not a newcomer to the music industry. As CEO of the entertainment group MyLife Entertainment, he is a well-known and respected talent manager. From offering motivational speaking, life coaching, and philanthropy, Underwood brings out the best in artists and himself while taking the hip-hop industry to the next highest level.  

Looking at Underwood’s lengthy list of accomplishments, one may think he’s always had an easy life – that could not be farther from the truth.  

While in prison for five years, Underwood had plenty of time to focus and get his head and mind straight. “I realized I always had the talent and that I was living through other people,” he said. “So I just said, ‘stop living through others and live on my own. I am the artist, and I’ve always had the talent.’” 

That revelation set the groundwork for his future success in the studio and community, with The United Prisoner Association, which aims to help inmates turn their lives around and focus on fulfilling their dreams away from crime. Never straying far from his Gary, Indiana roots, Underwood gives back to his community. Now living in the suburbs of Crown Point, Indiana in the famous Doubletree Estates, he’s proving that he is deeply embedded in promoting and uplifting the next generation.  

“I use my music to empower the African American community to follow the light and find success in their lives,” he said. “My music is a force that is acquiring worldwide recognition in African American music. My life is serving as a source of inspiration for those who are failing to turn their dreams into reality, and my music is encouraging people to take a stand and fight to live lives exactly the way they want to.”
