Toni Castro – It Is What It Is

Music, Promo, Videos

Toni Castro overcomes near-death car crash, uses disability to inspire others through music 

BILOXI, MS – If there’s one thing you need to know about artist Toni Castro, it’s that he’s the kind of supremely talented rapper who can freestyle on any fire beat that appeals to his ear. He goes where it flows, and most people who hear it love the vibe he’s bringing.  

That mastery of metaphors is put on full display with his latest single “Is What It Is,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. With some upbeat energy and a motivational message, the fresh new single is not only a blast to listen to but offers insight and inspiration to a world that needs a bit of a pick-me-up after a string of difficult situations. 

“We deal with a lot of BS in this world, but you can’t focus on that,” he said. “Just live your life and don’t worry about all that. I go serious with my music after I became disabled from a car accident. My back went out and I wasn’t able to work as a laborer anymore, and instead of giving up on things I decided to press this music for a time. You can’t just give up on life because of what you were dealt. I feel like with this opportunity and my talent it’s time to go 100 percent in and inspire the world if I can.” 

Castro said one of the biggest boosts of confidence he’s received in his young career came after his very first show at Club Envy in Gulfport. As the opening act for notorious rapper Young Dolph, Toni Castro rocked the venue so profoundly that the manager found him after and told him it was one of the most professional performances he’d ever seen. The adrenaline rush he got and the accolades he received pushed him to continue to make music, and he hasn’t looked back since.  

“I want my music to be known for inspiring people,” he said. “I talk about a lot of life situations and how to go about different situations and still make wise decisions. Too many people go about things the wrong way, and their lives become negative. I’m more positive. No matter what you go through, you’ve got to remain positive.” 

Castro said he’ll continue that motivational message with another single called “The Transition (Exotic Shit),” set to release on July 4 because “like fireworks, I just think it has a lot of good sounds that are gonna pop.” He also said he’s got more music in development that he’ll likely release later this year.

James Baley – Banishment

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

“James Baley delivers a message universal enough for the church, the club, or the vogue ballroom.” – The New Yorker

Today Juno Award-winning musician and multi-disciplinary artist James Baley  releases the new single “Banishment” from his forthcoming album A Story available on September 24th, 2021. This single marks the re-emergence of James Baley into the spotlight after being recognized for supporting, writing and recording with a diverse range of celebrated Canadian-based artists including July Talk (Baley is credited as a co-writer/co-producer on their recent Juno-winning, Pray For It), Zaki Ibrahim, U.S. Girls, Badge Epoque Ensemble, and Azari, with whom he collaborated on “Gotasoul” garnering them a Juno Award nomination for Dance Recording of the Year in 2019.

Baley’s new single “Banishment” is an urgent, hard hitting track that fuses gospel vocals with house and ballroom sensibilities, and acts as a call to celebration of freedom for Black queer community members, and the need to break away. Banishment is also Baley’s first solo house/ballroom track and features guest Twysted Miyake-Mugler the celebrated Vogue performer and co-founder of the Toronto Kiki Ballroom Alliance. “[Banishment] is about being banished from the (religious) communities that raised you and moving through the mix of feelings that come with grief,” explains Baley. “In the context of this song, Banishment is not a punishment, but rather an opportunity to explore and move closer to one’s truth and destiny. Inspired by my queer experience, Banishment speaks to my journey and the consequences that come with choosing authenticity…it will get you up and leave you wanting more.” Despite the pandemic-fuelled challenges of 2020, Baley was still fortunate enough to be featured on one long-listed (Badge Époque Ensemble) and one short-listed (U.S. Girls) 2020 Polaris Music Prize album. During the spring of 2021 Baley stayed busy having released two singles (“Saviour”, “On My Mind”) from his forthcoming album A Story, and performed at Pride Toronto’s 40th anniversary closing ceremony. By sharing compelling stories through his vulnerable lyrics, Baley combines his R&B, gospel, and electronic music influences to create soulful and reflective dance tracks for the church, club and vogue ballroom.

J.Trice – BANGN

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

 J Trice offers inside look at a girl’s POV of the streets with string of raw new singles 

BUFFALO, NY – Jessica “J Trice” Swain is a woman who won’t give up. With her back against the wall after her grandmother died, this young woman from Buffalo, New York has been through more difficult situations than most people could ever imagine. But she’s pushed through those hardships and uses those experiences as the foundation for her unique style of music – something that’s one part Fantasia and one part Michel’le and all parts her own signature style.  

That style is put on full display with her latest string of singles, starting with the hit R&B track “Extendo Shutdown.” Written about an ex-lover, the song is a vocal showcase of her natural talents as a singer, but also a great demonstration of her ability to weave witty lyrics as a songwriter. It’s almost like her mouth is a weapon and the words are her ammunition as she shoots bullets of aggressive vitriol toward a selfish and unsupportive ex-boyfriend. 

“He’s selfish and stuck in his ways and he wants her to watch him shine and her to be nothing,” J Trice said of the single. “But she’s shutting him down. A lot of people tell me that my voice stands out right away as soon as they hear it, but they also tell me I talk about experiences that other people can relate to. People say I’m open-minded. I speak up, and this song shows that. But life is short, and so many things have already happened in my life that I don’t want to be left dead in the ground with my talent left to waste. So I’m gonna say what I want and sing what I want and hopefully people will see that I’m a girl with confidence. You’ve got to be strong out here in this world, no matter what you go through. That’s what I want people to get from my music.” 

Two other singles from J Trice are currently available across all streaming platforms. The first is a song called “Yourz,” which is a more intimate love song in the R&B and Soul world that is inspired by the current man in her life. She said it’s a song many other people in relationships will be attracted to as it’s a song that says, “I’m in a relationship and I belong to him and you don’t need to worry about what we have together.” 

The other single is “BangN,” which J Trice said has more of an old-school vibe that was inspired by Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It On The Alcohol.” Of the three singles she has recently released, this one in particular is the most fun and upbeat, and she said she’s certain it will draw some attention to her during the summer months.  

J Trice said she has more than 100 singles already put together, many of which she plans to release over the next years. Eventually she wants to put out an album tentatively called “Precisely Ripe,” which will be a girl’s point of view of the streets.

Ryan Mullane – Music Lives

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Debut artist PIVE is in search of immortality with new album I Will Forever Be 

SPOKANE, WA – Independent artist Ryan Mullane, better known as PIVE, is a musician who is starting his career in a big way. Having written music for much of his life, he is finally taking the plunge with the release of his first ever album. I Will Forever Be is a collection of tracks with a conscious Hip Hop sound and the goal of lasting through the generations. It is also a call to all kinds of people looking to follow their dreams, telling them that it is never too late.  

“I called the album I Will Forever Be essentially with the intention of telling people that I am forever going to be this artist and this person.” His style leans into the older and more culturally relevant styles of Hip Hop, mixing the modern with the memorable to create something truly unique. “I’m trying to bring back the kind of lyrics that hit the most. You don’t hear very many songs anymore that are timeless and actually hit hard.” He is doing an amazing job of achieving this goal with the emotion and lyricism that go into each track.  

Within the album there is an overlying theme of taking over. “Throughout the album, you’ll hear me refer to a circus. It is my way of saying that while it is cool that the genre has condensed into this singular sound, there is a new kind of uniqueness in the rap game now. It’s my circus and I’m taking over.” Mullane is truly taking the scene by storm with this album and the many amazing tracks that can be found on it.  

Mullane has been writing music since he was only 10 years old. With more than 20 years of experience under his belt, his lyricism is truly a honed craft. Now that he has experienced life and found himself in a comfortable position, he decided it was time to finally put his hard work and writing to good use. The two singles that have already been released from the album “Music Lives” and “Girlfriends Dreams” have already received a great deal of attention and appreciation from those who have had the chance to hear them. The tracks showcase an advanced style of lyricism that is truly impressive. 

In all of his tracks, Mullane focuses on showing his audience that anything is possible. “For everyone that listens to my music, I say anyone can go after their dreams if they try hard enough. It’s going to be a bitch to get through it and there will be tons of ups and downs, but if you keep pushing and believing in yourself, you’ll make something happen.  

As a musician who is determined to make things happen, Mullane is already hard at work putting together Act II of the I Will Forever Be album. He is excited to release more new music and cannot wait to share his next project with the world.
