Ellie Rivers – Leavin’

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Iowa born and raised Ellie Rivers is putting her own twist on Country Music 

“LOS ANGELES, CA – Born and raised in the Midwest City of Ames, Iowa, Ellie Rivers couldn’t escape Country music even if she wanted to. Luckily, she couldn’t be happier to be putting her own twist on the sound that has always been close to her heart. While her smoky alto voice has been compared to artists such as Celine Dion, Amy Winehouse and Bobbie Gentrie, her music takes on an untouched aesthetic that others have labeled a “soulful twist on California meets Nashville.” 

Rivers’ latest single, “Leavin”, talks about finding your way through the end of a toxic relationship. It’s an empowering track that just cannot be beat. Co-written by Rivers and the artist Page, “Leavin” is what some artists would call ‘a creative download’.   

“We actually wrote the bones of the song from scratch in about 8 minutes. We had been working on another song all day, and as we were wrapping up the session, I started playing something on the piano without paying attention to it. We stopped talking for a second because we both tuned into what was being played. We hit record on my iPhone and 8 minutes later, we had the entire first verse, bridge and chorus. We ended up putting it away for a few months and then when I was going through a really toxic breakup, we pulled it back out, finished it up and gave it a little more direction. I guess you could say this song was foreshadowing my future the day we first wrote it.” 

When you hear the richness of Rivers’ voice, you may wonder why you just heard of her now. Despite her love of music, she grew up in a home where singing outside of church or school was frowned upon. This did not, however, stop her from practicing what she loved and receiving classical training as a vocalist in school.  

“I have been singing since I opened my mouth, but I was only allowed to sing in church and we were only allowed to listen to Christian music, so I don’t have the typical background of growing up listening to different genres of music that a lot of musicians have.” 

After high school, Rivers stopped singing completely for several years but deep down she always knew that music was what lights up her soul.  

“I’ve decided to do what it takes to put my past behind me and follow my heart, to follow the music.” 

Now Rivers hopes to bring her take on Country Pop music to the world. One silver lining of Covid has been the amount of time we’ve had to write and produce new music. 

“Virtual sessions with songwriters that have #1 records under their belts and having my debut EP being produced by charting record producer N.O.C.N.Y. has been a dream come true!” 

Rivers’ debut EP is set to release early 2021 and you can check out her latest single “Leavin” here:  https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/YA5M3iCQDJU1mQkV9

MR. Slade – This Is How We Make The Love

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

With a sound that shatters the stereotype, MR. Slade is an artist of his own design 

TORONTO, CANADA – Being a musician that doesn’t prescribe to any preconceived idea of what should or shouldn’t be, MR. Slade has had the unique experience to create an image and a sound that is unmatched and all his own.  

Slade did not come into performance in a conventional manner. His journey began when he started writing songs out of boredom andled himto working with other musicians and creating tracks that he could put out as his own. “I started writing songs unintentionally while at work and found people would hum along to them. Everyone started singing along to them and they were quite catchy. I decided that it was going to be a really cool, creative outlet so I put pen to paper and started writing music. I teamed up with a guitarist buddy of mine and we started creating music that way. Then during lockdown, we had a couple of songs written and ready to go and produce, I thought this might be a good time to go ahead and complete this project. I took advantage of the time and great music that was somewhat reflective of my experience during lockdown and something that I’m very passionate about.” 

With music that is described as having elements of Heavy Metal, 80’s Metal, Electro, Disco and Pop Punk, MR. Slade has created a sound that is completely his own. “I love the aggressiveness of Metal and I love the sexiness of Dance music and Disco. I wanted to create something that was the combination of both of those things. I think previously when we think of Pop music or Dance music or Electro, it’s more fun. And when we think of Metal or Alternative, it’s a little bit more aggressive and borderline angry, but it’d be cool to create something that was aggressively sexy or aggressively dangerous or aggressively fun, if that makes sense.” 

Being more influenced by visuals than anything, MR. Slade takes much of his inspiration from the things he sees rather than what he listens to. “I’m inspired by pictures, or movie scenes, or things like that. I am more so inspired by experiences and pictures and visuals than I happen to be by other musicians.”  

Slade puts out a new song just about every other month. With a growing collection of discography available, he is working on making his music accessible and relatable to everyone. “The timing is right. Most of my songs are about partying, going out,havingfun, meeting a stranger, going home with a stranger, things that we used to do. Now for three minutes and 23 seconds, you can kind of feel like you’re able to do that or remember what that’s like especially now with what’s going on, you hold onto that feeling. I think that’s quite important. I think entertainment or good art should involve a certain amount of escapism and self introspection so if you can kind of merge both of those together, it can be truly amazing.” 

With the goal of working on connecting with his audience and growing his platform, MR. Slade wants his music to become the escape that people need. He plans to continue to release tracks every other month and plans to put out more visuals for each of those tracks.

QuiSoul – Shit on My Mind

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo

QuiSoul is taking back the power with her latest EP 4 

OAKLAND, CA – A fresh artist with a fire that can’t be put out, QuiSoul has recently released her latest EP titled “4”. This collection of tracks is undeniably relatable as it talks about taking back your power after a relationship ends badly.  

For QuiSoul, her relationship with music began in church and grew to be something more when she decided to follow in her brother’s footsteps and begin making music of her own. “When I was younger I was singing in a church choir and focusing a lot on that. Four years ago I told my brother, who is a rapper, that I was writing music and that I wanted to do something with that and start releasing tracks. After that, I started to sing with him and feature on some of his songs, really just getting my feet wet with recording and learning more about the business and industry behind it.” 

The name QuiSoul is more than just a catchy title. The artist behind the name went through a life altering experience at the age of 19 that truly opened her eyes. “Once I decided to do music, I felt that I had to be true to my soul. I was actually on Instagram one day and decided that I needed a new handle. I ended up with QuiSoul and my brother asked me, ‘Do you know everything that you’ve been through that you have to express that through your music? That is your artist name. You’re gonna use QuiSoul.’ So I just took him up on it, and here we are today.” 

QuiSoul defines her sound as being a soulful and melodic R&B kind of sound. “I think that I have a really soulful sound, I would say it’s spirit first.” Much of her influence comes from the R&B artists of the 90’s. “I really love India.Arie. As a child growing up, I listened to a lot of her music. I also listened to a lot of Destiny’s Child and Keyshia Cole. I’m really like a 90’s baby, so I really like anything that is 90s as far as R&B and Hip Hop, I’m really just in awe of it.” 

The EP that QuiSoul has recently released is called “4” and it is the journey of taking back your power after dealing with the rough experience of a bad breakup. With four tracks on the EP, each song has its own powerful meaning. “I was sick and tired of not being able to create or have fun while I am trying to understand who I am, so I wrote ‘Shit On My Mind’ just to let the world know that there’s other people that go through the same things as they do. ‘Be On My Way’ is the relationship story. I was in a relationship and was unknowingly the other woman, and he had to tell me that which was really hard. I wrote ‘Hats Off’ as my ego song. It’s a third person perspective of what I really go through on Instagram. It really takes you on a journey through the song. Finally, ‘Out Tonight’ is my wish for the pandemic to end. The idea is just that we have been through a lot and we need to go out.” 

In the future, QuiSoul plans to release more music as well as the music video for “Be On My Way”. Fans can look out for the new album that she is starting to work on and should be excited for what is to come.

Trxppy Almighty – Problem Child

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Trxppy Almighty shows his unique sound through his latest mixtape ‘Rude Awakening’ 

CHICAGO, IL – With an eccentric sound and the goals of taking on the Hip Hop scene, Trxppy Almighty is truly an artist to keep an eye out for. Recently, he has released his third mixtape, “Rude Awakening”, where he shows off his versatility, his sound and his true talent as a musician.  

Trxppy Almighty has always had musical influences in his life, with four uncles who made music in a Rap group which he looked up to and aspired to be like. He started getting into music when he was only in middle school, getting together with friends to create music. “I first started making music when I was in middle school. I had two friends that I had this little Rap group going on with, but I was never able to record anything because I never had the chance to visit a studio back then.  I was always in the process of putting my tracks out there though.” In 2018, he was able to get into music more seriously, starting out in basement studios, releasing tracks on Soundcloud and working his way up to working in professional level studios with engineers and releasing on major platforms.  

“I make music that has a deep meaning of value. I can be considered a rapper although I don’t want to only put myself in that category. I would say that my sound is very melodic. I use a lot of melodies if I’m not actually rapping on the beat. Basically, I would consider my sound to be unique melodies and really just changing and developing with whatever my mood is on a given day.” 

Drawing from a handful of inspirations and artists that he has a great deal of respect for, Trxppy Almighty has a variety of music that he considers to be important to both artistic growth and his personal life. “My favorite of all time would probably be Lil Wayne. I would try to learn his rhythmic patterns and things like that. I was always studying how he would do his choruses and hooks and I always considered him a really amazing artist. Hearing the way he would play with words and melodies… he was kind of a pillar in terms of rappers to me.” 

“Rude Awakening” is Trxppy Almighty’s third and most recent mixtape. It is designed to show off his artistic versatility and skills in a variety of different styles and genres. “I feel like I’ve always been kind of slept on and it is time for people to wake up. Whether they want to hear me or not, there’s no stopping me. They will either hear me or see me somewhere in some form or another. This 14-song project shows off the versatility and the growth and experience in my music. I’m just really proud of our producer Jalil Da God and all of the work we’ve done to get it where we are.” 

Some of Trxppy Almighty’s favorite tracks on the mixtape include “Problem Child,” “Money Talks,” and “Heaven Sent.” The tracks discuss everything from his upbringing in the East side of Chicago to the hardships that he has gone through and the goals that he has for the future.

Mac Nova – Steal The Sun

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

Mac Nova releases first track after signing with AMG/Sony 

TOLEDO, OH – Having recently signed with his first big recording company, Mac Nova is making a big splash as he breaks into the music scene. With his latest release, “Steal The Sun” coming out in October, he has a new and exciting sound that he is ready to share with the world.  

Mac Nova got into music in his early teens, freestyling and having fun with his friends and family. “I actually got started recording and writing songs on a whim after I freestyled in front of one of my coworkers, Big Steve, in the garage and he pointed me towards a studio. That was about seven years ago.” 

When he was younger, Mac Nova’s mother would not allow him to listen to Rap music. This gave him the opportunity to appreciate a variety of different genres, and he later brought some of those influences into his music. “My mom didn’t actually let me listen to Rap until I was in high school, so I just got a lot of everything but Rap even though that’s what I ended up doing. A few of my main artistic influences are The Fugees, Prince, some Motown artists and Anita Baker, and when I first got my hands on some Rap, I got into  Jay Z and LL at about the same time.” 

With such a wide variety of influences, he is able to create a sound that pulls in different genres and techniques, making the Mac Nova sound unique and rare. “Even though I’m rapping – because that is my main style – Rap is one of the few genres that you can add literally any other genre to.” 

Mac Nova is set to release his latest single “Steal The Sun” in mid-October. “I would say this track is a culmination of my rhetoric as a rapper. I like to think that my style and, more importantly, the content of the Rap helps people understand that there is a difference between success and wisdom and just because someone is successful at what they do, doesn’t mean you should follow what they do or what they say to a tee. So, part of my brand as a rapper is that I would like to achieve ‘acclaim,’ if you will, without having to subject myself to some of the things people do to advertise themselves. So instead of walking around with jewelry and things of that nature, I would like to ‘Steal The Sun’ in that respect.” 

Being recently signed with AMG/Sony, “Steal The Sun” will be Mac Nova’s first big release. While he has made enormous strides in his career this year, he believes that he would not be where he is today without the help of his team and his friends, especially his manager Debra Sue of Glass City Talent, his first producer CJ Mack, and his current producer, Wade from Guerilla Studios, as well as a host of other family, friends and fans who have supported him in his artistic endeavors. 

Keep an eye out for Mac Nova’s new release “Steal The Sun” as well as the music video which is set to release on October 16, 2020. 

King Supreme Da Don – W.F.T.G.U

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

King Supreme Da Don releases his latest EP single ‘W.F.T.G.U.’ 

BOSTON, MA – Newly added to the Bentley Records family, King Supreme Da Don is a Hip Hop artist worth looking out for. With his latest EP single “W.F.T.G.U.” coming out on October 21, KSDD shows artistry and talent through a track that can get stuck in your head, exactly where you want it to be. 

Growing up, KSDD was always invested in music. “I got into music at a young age. I always had a strong passion for music especially when I was growing up. Now that I make music of my own, I would say that I have a more creative sound. I think I would label it more as Hip Hop music rather than Trap.” 

The name King Supreme Da Don has a very significant meaning. “Growing up over the years, I had a few different names and I stuck with King Supreme Da Don because I had a name before, L- Supreme Tha Boss. I took part of the name of Supreme from my father who actually made music of his own back in the day. So I took part of Supreme and I added King in front of it because I believe that everyone deserves to be a king or queen. I have always said that however you see yourself fit to be, then that is who you are, so that is what I stuck with. My goal is to do everything possible to live up to that. I am always going to be a king, my wife will always be my queen, and everyone out there was born to be a king or a queen too.”  

KSDD has a few core inspirations. He takes a lot of influence from artists such as Tupac, but is mainly inspired as a musician by his family. “I take a lot of inspiration from Tupac because he is such an important artist to me. But right now I would say that my greatest inspiration and my motivation as a musician comes from my children and my wife.” 

The track “W.F.T.G.U.” is a song about the obstacles that KSDD has had to overcome and the way that he has been able to make it through. “This single is about all of the struggles that I have been through and how I came out on the other side. The entire EP goes along with it as an outlining of what I am capable of doing as an artist. It really talks about me aiming for what I want and proving that I am able to keep up with everyone else. It also talks about how I am always going to be trying to provide for my family, no matter what.” 

Along with his musical ventures, KSDD and his wife are doing all that they can to help other artists to have the same opportunities that KSDD had with their new label New Age Limit Records. “My goal is to build a foundation that will strive to be the best that it can be. My wife and I started this company under the principle of helping artists that are struggling and giving them a chance to build a basis right here in Massachusetts.”

Yung Gli$t – Kiyomi

ME Blog, Music, Promo

A song of pure beauty, Yung Gli$t releases latest single ‘Kiyomi’ 

COLUMBUS, OH – An up and coming artist with the goal to inspire those around him, Yung Gli$t is bringing his music to the people with a sound that is truly his own. His latest single, “Kiyomi,” is only one of his many steps to becoming a top name in the Hip Hop industry. 

Music came naturally to Yung Gli$t, growing up in a household that was always full of new sound. “I used to just like music when I was growing up. It came naturally. My mom would always be playing music usually artists like Nas. And as I got used to hearing music like that, music started to become a bigger and bigger part of my life.” 

Much of Yung Gli$t’s influences come from artists like Tupac, but he also pulls a lot of inspiration from his family. “My father passed away when I was younger and I draw a lot of inspiration from him because he made music before I was born.”  

Yung Gli$t’s sound is a unique blend of Hip Hop. “I would say my sound is a little bit futuristic. My music sounds like the kind of thing where you can’t just go out and replicate it. I don’t think anyone is doing the exact same thing as me. You have to listen to my music to get that certain sound because I have a different kind of delivery of my lyrics. I have a unique sound.” 

“Kiyomi,” Yung Gli$t’s latest single is quite literally named after pure beauty. “When I started this song, I knew it was going to be important. The reason I named it “Kiyomi” is that Kiyomi actually means “Pure Beauty” and I named it that because it was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the beat for the first time. One of the inspirations for the lyrics of this song was actually my baby’s mother. We had a little bit of a problem and we were in the middle of a scramble before I started working on the lyrics. I think that played into what came out of that session a bit.” 

“My main goal as a musician is to get good music out there. I want to work on getting more of a following and expand my social media, especially Twitter. I really just want to be someone who inspires others. I want to show them that they can do it.” Yung Gli$t grew up in an area where there is an abundance of creativity, but not enough love for other’s art. He hopes in great part to inspire the people of Columbus to see that there is room for everyone to do what they love.  

Along with his ventures as a musician, Yung Gli$t is focused on fashion. He hopes to help inspire more people to express themselves through their appearance. 

Yung Gli$t is working to put out more music in the coming year, including an album that is currently in the works. As of right now, the music video for “Kiyomi” will be coming out soon and will be an exciting thing to look forward to.

Vanalika Shan – Midnight

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

18-year-old Vanalika brightens the world with her new single ‘Midnight’ 

DALLAS, TX – Indie pop singer/songwriter and pianist Vanalika Shan’s open-hearted sound is the result of years immersing herself in diverse cultures around the globe. At only 18 years old, the Indian-born artist has studied music in the U.S., Australia, and India, drawing freely from American Pop, Indian Classical, and musical theater to create an irresistible sound all her own.  

That original sound is put on full display on her new single, “Midnight” which is slated to go wide across all streaming platforms on Oct. 16. The laid-back vibe of the song takes full advantage of a robust array of Synth sounds for a contemporary twist on Indie Pop. The slow organs open the song and create a mellow, ambient vibe that sets the stage for Vanalika’s ethereal vocals. As her voice begins to sour, she welcomes listeners into a nice groove that’ll have them bopping their heads while smiling and reminiscing about that someone special. 

“The idea of it came from a kind of Cinderella theme,” Vanalika said. “It goes around the concept of time being limited. Time is a driving force in any relationship – romantic or friendship or whatever. So I wanted to play on that idea with the nuances from a Cinderella fairytale.” 

The debut single from this fast-rising star is a follow-up to her wildly successful cover mashup “Blinding Lights and Physical” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. Fully embracing the Synth Pop sound, the song takes two chart-topping retro tunes and mashes them into something that’s equal parts throwback and modern, and perfect to showcase this talented musician’s naturally ethereal vocals. 

Having just graduated from high school, Vanalika said she’s taking advantage of a gap year to pursue music as a career. Though she started as a singer when she was only 4 years old and has performed in multiple places over the years, it hasn’t been until recently that she started fully dedicating herself to a career in music. While growing up, her father traveled to places all over the world, often moving his family along the way. As such, Vanalika said she’s gotten a very global education about people and cultures and the ways in which art can tie people together. 

“Traveling has been a big part of my life, from meeting new people to seeing different locations,” she said. “Music ties the bridges in between. I’ve experienced different kinds of music, but at the end of the day, it’s still my kind of music that I’m creating. The way I like to approach my music is to take my own story and add a little twist. Music isn’t about just adding a little bit of an edge or technicality to something, but more of a driving force. I want to move an audience through the music as if they’re part of the story. That’s one of my favorite attributes of music – not just listening to a song but how the combination of sound and lyrics can drive an audience together. At the end of the day, I hope my music makes people feel good when they listen to it. Vanalika means sunflower, and I try to embody that in myself and my music. A sunflower is bright and calming, and that’s the effect I want to bring to the world with my music. I want to brighten the world with my music, one sunflower at a time.”

Richie Red – Wolves Den

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo

With his latest single ‘Wolves Den,’ Richie Red is gearing up to be the new leader of the pack 

CLEVELAND, OH – Richie Red wants to be one of the biggest names in the world, and from the looks of his latest single “Wolves Den,” he is well on his way. With a relaxed Hip Hop sound, Red has created a style that is all his own. No matter what is going on, his music can always fit the vibe. 

Red began his artistic journey at a young age, taking an interest in dance before growing into his own style of Rap through freestyling and later finally laying down tracks in the recording studio. “It started off with me dancing. I used to watch Michael Jackson and Usher when I was four years old and I wanted to be like them. When I got older, dancing wasn’t that much fun anymore. I would watch all my big brothers that rapped and I got into a lot of artists like Young Jeezy , Gucci Mane and Plies. I was freestyling in middle school and everybody who listened would tell me ‘You should rap! You should rap! You’re good at rapping!’ So basically, I just started taking it seriously and I started recording at seventh grade. I was pretty good back then.” 

Though he is a versatile artist, Red prefers to stick to his roots in the Hip Hop industry, focusing on a relaxed Rap sound influenced by Hip Hop and R&B. “I do rap because there is a lot that I’ve been through. Rap is basically how I get it off my mind and just talk about the things that I’ve seen. I use music because most people that I talk to say I’m good at it. When I write about what I’ve been through, sometimes it helps me get things off my mind. I also just have fun doing it. It was a hobby at first but now I like taking it more seriously and I know that I could really be something bigger than I am.” 

Red’s most recent release is a track called “Wolves Den.” This song is about how life happens around us and the only way to get through it is to embrace what comes our way. “I live in a world where people will turn their backs on you but I’m still enjoying myself. I’ve been going through a lot of stuff but my life is getting better. I still live in reality but my life is going better and my style is changing. It’s just like a wolf going through the woods, looking for something that he needs and as he comes up on different things, his image changes. He might get bigger, he might feel healthier, his family might be able to eat and that’s basically where I’m at in my life. I’m just outside to get whatever I can get to make the best out of.” 

The “Wolves Den” music video has been recently released and that is just the beginning of where Red wants to take his career. “I don’t have to put too much in it, it’s just natural. I see myself becoming one of the biggest artists in the world especially with the story that I have behind me. I’m not just any type of rapper that woke up one day wanting to be a rapper. My mother passed when I was 14 and my brother passed when I was 20 years old. My mother was a big character in my life and everybody loved her. She was an entertainer and so was my brother, so I feel like I have no choice but to make it at this point. It is what I want to do every day.”

JT Da Bagga – Remember the Woo

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

 JT Da Bagga drops hot new EP to spice up the chilly months of winter 

ATLANTA, GA – Summer is for the ladies, but the men are staking a claim to the winter. That’s the sentiment behind the debut EP from Atlanta-based artist JT Da Bagga. It’s entitled “Cold Boi Winter” and it features a handful of tracks from this fast-rising artist that showcase his unique brand of sound and style. With California-inspired tracks like “Cold Boi Flow” and swaggy tracks like “Remember the Woo,” JT offers music lovers an enjoyable ride that’s perfect for the upcoming colder months.  

“It’s me speaking from a single man’s perspective,” he said. “Basically, it’s me being an ultimate bachelor. Each song is me doing what I do. I’m analyzing women because I like women and I like to be with women. I’m not degrading women. I love women. And I show that through all of these songs.” 

JT said he’s proud of this project because it shows the world a new sound and style in the world of Hip Hop that’s been lacking for a while. The thing he said he’s most proud of is his ability to be diverse and bring original flows across each and every song.  

“I’ve been all over the East Coast and I’ve been influenced by a lot of different genres of music,” he said. “I don’t have a specific sound. I do Drill, I do R&B slow songs, I do Club music, I do Reggae music – my versatility and ability to bring a vibe to any track is what sets me apart. That’s my biggest attribute as an artist.” 

Originally from Newark, New Jersey, JT was raised in the New York foster system. He lived in a group home in Queens and saw and experienced a lot of bad things in life. Music became his escape from life, and a sting in prison gave him somewhat of a blessing in disguise in that it provided him time to focus on the craft of making music and perfecting his unique sound and style. He’s come quite a ways since his early days of performing off-Broadway plays as a child.  

“A few years of me going to prison and making mistakes made me do research in how to perfect my craft and do things with it to stand out,” he said. “Ultimately, I’d like to be somebody known for spreading love. When you listen to my music, it’s more of an educational thing. To be able to bring people together and vibe and love and be able to be around each other without hate would be my ultimate goal for my music. I don’t do raw street music. A lot of my music is a vibe. So come and relax with me. I’m pure. I’m different. My mind is different, and yours can be too when you listen to my music.” 

JT’s album is currently available across all streaming platforms. The debut single “Remember the Woo” has been getting some major attention across the U.S. and is set to drop a music video later this year.
