MUSIC EXECS LAUNCH INNOVATIVE RESOURCE HUB FOR CREATORS

Every creator needs an environment with the necessary resources and tools to be productive and successful. A group of four businessmen and music executives have joined forces to offer just that. Positive Men’s Circle is a safe place for creators and management to have a one-resource portal to handle the needs that may occur to make the creative process a smooth one. “When you’re grinding and you see areas of your platform that can best be served by other like-minded people, a natural alignment organically forms,” says Robert Ross, co-founder of Positive Men’s Circle. Ross says it’s only right to partner with such individuals and watch the magic unfold.  He says Positive Men’s Circle being a creation by four men of color makes it even more unique. Ross is managing partner and chairman of R&R Entertainment in Washington, D.C. The hybrid boutique record label and consulting law firm specializes in IP curation and enforcement within clients’ assets. Ross partnered with Elroy “BAE” Nelson, Tyrone “Ty Ty” Griffin, and Nigel “Be Knows Talent” Lee for the Positive Men’s Circle. The group is as diverse as they come. Nelson is a gifted A&R from Baltimore, Maryland. Ross says every “positive men’s circle” needs a partner like Nelson. He can hear and spot a hit and has a unique way of managing and engaging with his clients. Griffin is the owner of one of the hottest studios in Buckhead, Atlanta, which allows any artist within the Circle’s sphere of influence to have a studio home to create and flourish. “Griffin brings the management, studio, and production components to the circle,” Ross explains. Lee has also made a mark in the music industry with the management of Grammy-nominated and award-winning producers and writers. He previously worked with Universal Music and now partners with industry leaders to deliver a variety of services, including marketing, social media curation, blue check/Google verification, and organic playlisting and charting on all digital signal processors (DSP). With numerous accolades under their belts, Ross says there’s no single accomplishment that outshines another. Every achievement is special. “I’ve been blessed to be part of some incredible experiences in my career and have seen my clients reach their dreams more than I can count. Collectively, we’re going to create another level of greatness,” Ross says. The group does have current projects underway. Ross and Nelson have multiple new artists projects to be released on the MCR imprint in the first quarter of 2022. They also have licensing deals in the works with Nickelodeon, MLB, and an AR/VR 3D mapping company. Griffin continues to cultivate the artists he manages, notably artist Jamie Ray who has 70 million views and counting on TikTok with tour and endorsement deals in progress. In addition to managing his flock of producers and writers, Lee currently co-ventures with his partners in areas of social media integration, SEO management, and DSP/VSP placement. Together, the four-man team is excited about the opportunities Positive Men’s Circle will bring to creators and artists who become part of the initiative.

State Space – Lanterns of Tomorrow

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

International artist State Space meets listeners at intersection of art and reality 

BERLIN, GERMANY – Anyone who has a background in science can tell you that there’s a popular term called “State Space” that refers to a range of possible variables. For Ukraine-born artist Vova Tumasiants, it’s the perfect metaphor of his life and artistry, and it’s the reason why he has adopted the term as his stage name as he embarks on a journey of international attention with his new music. 

Trained as an engineer and currently living in Berlin, Germany, State Space has always been a lover of music and uses every spare moment he has to create his own brand of sound. As his name implies, he’s a multi-faceted artist and all-around lover of music who adopts a limitless approach to creation. His body of work to date is impressively unique, diverse, and deeply imaginative. He draws inspiration from a variety of sources – from 90s Brit Rock bands like Oasis and The Verve, to Classic Rock groups like Led Zeppelin and Queen, and even Pop icons Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake. And through those inspirations he has developed a genre-fluid approach to his own musical creations. 

That individuality takes center stage on his new single “Lanterns of Tomorrow,” which is set to release across all streaming platforms in early December. Listeners familiar with Oasis and The Verve will immediately recognize those bands’ influences on State Space with this single. The ethereal EDM opening makes way for a truly alt-rock vibe that’s one part singer/songwriter and one part 90s nostalgia. The song has a mellow groove to it that just feels good – like you’re cruising down the highway on a beautiful autumn day. It’s a song about a guy who keeps chasing his dreams and doesn’t give up. Like lanterns in the night, he sees the hope of a brighter future, even in the midst of his darkness. Ultimately, it’s a song that says, “Tomorrow will be good. Everything you hope to achieve can be realized, if you only keep on trying.” 

“I like the warm sound that comes with bringing together the British alt-rock sound and the Pop vibes that I’m such a big fan of,” State Space said. “This song in particular sounds kind of chill – almost bittersweet – but also with that warm kind of vibe that I’m always trying to create. It’s very much an autumnal song, with no hard rock guitar riffs or anything like that. But this is just one example of my music. I don’t have any specific genre that I make music in. I have alt-rock songs, and disco songs, and singer/songwriter songs, and everything in between. My upcoming debut EP will be kind of a funky Pop kind of a vibe with some catchy melodies. And I hope people come to recognize that special approach I’m taking when it comes to making music.”
