Marquel is fearless with debut release Love, Rage & Enlightenment  

WASHINGTON D.C. – A young artist who is learning how to love himself, Marquel is as fearless as they come. This musician is telling his own stories and sharing all of his pain and emotions with the world in a gorgeously authentic light. His debut album Love, Rage & Enlightenment is his own journey into finding who he is, and it is simply amazing.  

Marquel’s journey through finding himself as a musician has been one many many trials. After dropping out of college for the chance to work with a big-name producer, he was hit with a stroke of bad luck rolled over, straight into the COVID-19 pandemic. “I had left school in Philly to move out to LA, but after getting there, he stopped responding to my messages as much, got busy with his own life. When the pandemic hit, my job with the radio station, 96.3 FM, fell apart and things really just weren’t looking good.” It was after really being able to look into himself and understand how he felt that Marquel was able to begin making the music that has since become Love, Rage & Enlightenment.  

“I took the time over the pandemic, and I just really learned about who I was and what I wanted my message to be. A lot of people felt alone, and I realized that I did too. I felt that I needed to prove something to myself, and I realized that what I needed to do was recognize who I was and love myself.” Once Marquel was able to find himself through this, things seemed to just start falling into place. He began connecting with people across the world to put together different parts of the album and truly seemed to find his place in the music industry. “I really started tapping into that community and things just started falling into place.” 

Being able to put the album together in about a month’s time, Marquel was excited to actually get his message out to the people who wanted to hear what he had to say. “When I started Love, Rage & Enlightenment, I thought it was going to be my journey of love and hate, and how I overcame all that but what I found throughout the whole process was that this album was about loving myself and loving the people who are around me, and taking care of us, and the rage was about me being angry with myself for doubting myself for so long, and for needing other people’s validation for so long, and the enlightenment was recognizing that all I needed were the gifts that God had already given me. All I needed to focus on was giving.” The album is truly an honest representation of Marquel’s journey and the emotions he went through while creating the project. 

Love, Rage & Enlightenment is the kind of album that flows together. Built to be the kind of album that allows you to put your headphones in and really focus on the tracks, everything flows together. The themes fit into each other, and everything seems to make sense when you’re listening to this album.  

While this project helped Marquel to find himself, he hopes that his music will help others as well. Much of his goal is to ensure people know that no matter what is going on, they are not alone. “If you feel alone and that you don’t fit into the world, know that there are so many people who are different and within them, we’re not alone. I want people to feel okay with feeling different.” 

Be sure to check out the album and keep an eye out for the series of music videos and D.C./Philly performances that are soon to follow. Marquel is sure to also be releasing several more exciting tracks and projects as he moves forward in his career, so don’t forget to keep up with him as well.

JM Geezus makes music for the black sheeps of the world, offers motivational vibes with debut single ‘Downers’ 

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Giante Lewis – AKA JM Geezus – is one of the hottest stars on the Junkie Muzik label from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Raised on the North East side of the city, JM Geezus is a natural storyteller who has the ability to bring the streets to life with intricate lyricism and an impeccable sense of rhythm. Since emerging with his debut single “Downers,” he has quickly built up a reputation as an innovative artist in a lane all his own. With new releases planned for 2021 and beyond, JM Geezus is well on his way to becoming one of the most vital voices in modern music. 

“Downers” is a song that he said creates a vibe that’s actually opposite of what the name might imply. It’s not a song about drugs or emotional lows, but rather a motivational track that inspires people to embrace the negative experiences of life and use them as lessons to make positive strides for the future. 

“I’m high off the problems in life and I build off of them,” he said. “Whatever problems you’re going through can be a downer, but you can build from it. If it’s relationships with work, or a female, or your best friend, or whatever, you don’t have to look at those downfalls as negativity. Sometimes you have to look at them as positivity.” 

JM Geezus said “Downers” has a chill vibe with a nice up-tempo groove to it that fits right in line with the sound and style for which he wants to become known. He’s an artist who takes pride in crafting lyrics unlike anyone else in the game today, and his voice and flow will immediately stand out to anyone who hears him.  

Music has been a background to his life for as long as he can remember. Whenever he would get in trouble as a child and sent to his room, he would also turn to his boombox and start rapping over anything he could hear on the radio. Eventually this became the first steps toward writing his own music, and by his teenage years he and his friend Remedy – who is also an up-and-coming artist from Philly – were recording in their basement studio.  

Today JM Geezus uses his unique voice and style to bring a whole new positive energy to the hip-hop genre. He said there’s not a negative bone in his body, “and if there is I’ll break it and remake it and make sure it’s all positive,” he said. Ultimately he said he wants to be an artist who represents the “black sheeps” of the world – the ones who don’t have a voice but have deep thoughts, even if they don’t have a way to speak their words. He’ll attempt to give voice to those in the world who identify with that struggle on his new five-song EP “PTSD,” which is slated to come out later this year.

Chill summer vibe from Nirvana Flux brings people into heightened state of flow 

PHOENIX, AZ – The latest release from highly acclaimed multi-genre artist Nirvana Flux will bring down the house. Known for his soothing and calming style, Nirvana Flux flips the script with his cool summer track “U, Too.” Currently available across all streaming platforms, the song features more of an R&B and neo-soul vibe, with amazing vocals from female UK artist Jungle Leez, and Soul singer Joseph Anthony providing riffs in some of the verses. Nirvana Flux rounds out the song by bringing his signature flow as he raps over the top of the amazingly smooth beat.  

“It’s a song about someone special in your life,” Nirvana Flux said. “It’s a song about someone who means everything to you. It comes from a poem that I wrote a while back, and you could almost consider this song part two of that poem. Essentially it’s written from the point of view of someone talking to their significant other. I put some live instrumentation on this one and put some Soul into it, and I think a good span of age groups and demographics will like it.” 

Originally from Chicago – raised around the urban Soul and hip-hop sounds of the city – Nirvana Flux moved out West to pursue music full-time as a career. Today he makes his home in Phoenix, Arizona, where he works as a professional recording artist and a producer for other artists. He considers himself to be a “traveling man,” and uses the experiences he’s had from other parts of the world as fuel for the music he creates. Those stories and sounds intertwine to create something truly original and unique to today’s music industry. 

“I bring as much authenticity as I can with my music,” he said. “I’m all about the soul in sounds and substance in lyricism. My music is intended for a variety of things, but overall it’s about fearlessness and conscientious therapeutic communication. This track specifically does that by sourcing from many different genres – Soul, Neo-Soul, Spoken Word, Poetry, Rap – and as such I think it has the potential to be massive.” 

Nirvana Flux said he plans to continue releasing singles over the course of the year as he builds this career as a recording artist and expands his audience.
