Autistic artist PolishAxe0 uses platform to inspire others with new single ‘Haters’

MACUNGIE, PA – Brandon Gehr has been the unfortunate victim of a lot of hate in his life. At 22 years old, this young autistic artist from Pennsylvania has had to navigate some difficult relationships during his life, and music has long been an outlet for his jumbled up emotions. 

He’s letting those emotions out and pushing back against all those haters with his new single “Haters,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. He said it’s a song that he hopes will inspire others to fight back against bullying and hate, and provide a little bit of a self-esteem boost along the way. 

“No matter what somebody tells you that you can’t do, if you know in your heart that you can then you should do it,” Gehr said. “That’s why I use the name PolishAxe0. I’m Polish and the axe is the symbol of my life because it represents strength. No matter what I’ve been through, I know I’m strong and can push through it. The zero means I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. I’ll always be myself and rap about things I think will connect with other people. With that kind of mentality, I can’t be hurt. One of my lines in the song says, ‘My axe is my armor. Nobody can harm her or disarm her or charm her. The strength in my life is to keep going.’ So basically it’s a song that says nobody will ever bring me down, no matter what they say. And I hope it inspires other people to chase their dreams. If someone is feeling down, I want this song to uplift them and make them feel positive.” 

PolishAxe0 said he started rapping only a few months ago, though music has been a major part of his life for as long as he can remember. He said he wants to be known as an inspirational rapper who writes songs about getting through anxiety, depression, anti-bullying, autism, and other personal issues. 

“I have been through them all,” he said. “I want to reach the hearts of millions and for them to truly understand my music in the most personal way possible. I have put my heart, soul and money into music, and I will not stop until I touch a lot of people’s hearts. My biggest goal is to change people’s lives in the most positive ways.” 

PolishAxe0 said “Haters” is the first of many singles to come and that he’s working on an album that should be released in early 2021. Two other singles from the album could drop before the end of the year, he said.

Markali Mac – Born

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Videos

Markali Mac offers fresh perspective on the state of the world with new album ‘Fish Don’t Belong In Tanks’ 

ARLINGTON, TX – Independent artist and songwriter Markali Mac offers the world a piece of his soul with his new album “Fish Don’t Belong in Tanks.” Inspired by the upsets and downs of my life this year and in the past as well., the album offers listeners Markali’s unique viewpoint on things from Black Lives Matter to Covid to various experiences throughout the year that have challenged many people to grow or get left behind. Those messages are told alongside an old school sound with a new school vibe for something that’s sonically different than anything else in the industry today.  

“My flow is different and my approach to music is real creative in how I ride the beat,” Markali said. “Not every song is gonna sound the same. There’s Trap on this album, and Rap, and Rock, and Pop – whatever your style is, I have something for you. The title and concept for the album came from a book I read while I was incarcerated. Basically, the question that it presented was: What’s better for a fish, to live protected and safe in a tank or to live at risk to all the dangers of the wild? I’m a Pisces which is the sign of the fish, and we don’t belong in jail. So this album is about me breaking free from an old mindset and giving the world a piece of me. And if I can overcome things – like anxiety and depression – then others can do the same.” 

The album features 24 original singles with a deluxe version of the album to follow shortly thereafter, with four new tracks and one extended version. The non-deluxe version is now available across all streaming platforms. Markali said a lot of the sounds on the project were inspired by some of his favorite artists such as J.Cole or Kanye West. Listeners will be able to recognize those influences across both the chill songs and the more hype and upbeat tracks. 

The debut single from the project is “Born” which has already been streaming in wide release for the past two weeks and has tens of thousands of plays on Spotify. It’s the first track on the album and as such “starts off everything from the jump,” Markali said.  

“I think it shows people right off the bat that I’m something different, which is what I want my music to be known for,” he said. “I want to be motivational. When people hear it, I want them to feel like its eye-opening and deep. I’m always gonna be true and be myself. However I see it, that’s how I’m gonna say it, and when people hear it, they might benefit from it. But that doesn’t mean I create music that’s limiting. I think there’s something everybody should be able to listen to on this album because of its universal message that’s needed in these times.”

1942 Leel – Rerock

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

New artist 1942 Leel drops fun party vibe EP ‘Anejo Talk’ 

ATLANTA, GA – There’s a new artist out of Atlanta whose fanbase is rapidly growing thanks to his smooth, unique flow. He goes by the stage name 1942 Leel and his latest EP “Anejo Talk” is the kind of project that launches careers into the stratosphere.  

Featuring eight songs that include the hit party track “Rerock,” “Anejo Talk” is a blend of upbeat songs and down-to-earth chill vibes that not only show off Leel’s versatility but also offer listeners something new and intriguing in the music industry. 

“A lot of people in Hip Hop today might talk in their music about doing different drugs or money or girls or whatever,” Leel said. “But that’s not what I’m about. Me and my crew, we drink 1942 (a type of tequila created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the opening of Don Julio’s first distillery), and this album is all about drinking and partying and turning up. My sound and my style revolve around my mood, so some songs lean more one way than the other – sometimes upbeat and sometimes slow. I don’t have one set of sound or style. What I do have is music that when you listen to it, you’ll be surprised. You’ll never know what type of sound you’ll get until you hear it.” 

The standout single, “Rerock” is a club song with an Atlanta vibe that also has notes of Leel’s Detroit roots. It’s up-tempo and definitely will get listeners moving to the groove, and the lyrics are simple in their exploration of all things that are flamboyant – from partying to drinking to having a good time and just living the good life. 

Leel moved to Atlanta a little over two years ago but grew up in a city outside of Detroit called Mt. Clemens. Though he was always into music as a child, it wasn’t until his teenage years that he truly started exploring his own signature style. Over the years, he’s become known for a smooth, unique flow – a sound that can be heard on hits such as “Cr33d” and “Move,” which have garnered him quite a bit of attention throughout the Midwest. He’s had the opportunity to work with some of the hottest producers in the industry, including Jose The Plug, Damjonboi, and Marc Boomin.  

“I really study everyone when it comes to music and how they operate,” Leel said. “On the Atlanta side, I like to listen to Future and Young Thug. I mostly listen to a lot of Detroit underground music like Payroll Giovanni, Babyface Ray and Peezy. And from those influences, I’ve created a sound that I think when people hear it they’re gonna vibe too it. It’s music you can play in the club or when you’re turning up with the gang. That’s the type of music I make and what I want to be known for – music that you can party too.” 

Leel said he’s in the process of shooting a music video for “Rerock” which should release before the end of the year and at the same time also plans to release another single from the EP, with more releases in early 2021.

Johnny Wvlker – The Wave

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

A label, an EP and so much more; Johnny Wvlker is living in a ‘Wonderland’ of his own design 

LOS ANGELES, CA – From humble beginnings to being named one of the LA Wire’s Top 40 Under 40, Johnny Wvlker is a man of high ambition and unimaginable talent. Wvlker, who in the last year has made his way into the music scene, created a collective that he turned into a label, marketing agency and global publishing house, and has released a selection of tracks including his newest EP, Wonderland. 

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Wvlker did not come from easy beginnings. His mother passed away when he was only 16 years old, leaving him to fend for himself. Wvlker was ready for the challenge however, finding his way, finishing school and later moving to California where he eventually partnered up with Jared “Praajex” Lynch. They created the Dead Poet Soxiety, a creative collective, label, marketing agency and most recently global publishing house, where he was able to release several tracks including his single “Visions” which led the way to the first ever Pop Art Style Rap video, and his latest EP Wonderland. “DPS mostly started as an idea being around my engineer and our group of friends but it started to grow really quickly and this year it changed into a record label.” 

Wvlker draws inspiration from a collection of different artists with main focus on musicians such as Pink Floyd and Kanye. “I listen to everything but a lot of my music has Heavy Rock influences, a lot of like Pink Floyd, Kanye. The album “Graduation” changed my whole perspective on music when I was younger, in 2008-09.” Some of Wvlker’s other major influences include creatives such as Salvador Dalí, Basquiat and Warhol, who have impacted his interpretations and views as a creative and artist both in and outside of his musical works.  

“Wonderland”, Wvlker’s latest release and debut collection, is an EP featuring an otherworldly concept. “It’s like another world or a transition between our world and whatever’s in your imagination. It’s a six track EP and it has a couple of cool singles on it. There’s one called ‘Demon Babes’ and another one called ‘The Wave.’ My producer or the person that’s most heavily featured on the EP is named Sky Beats. I think he was just nominated for a Grammy. The person who mastered all the songs is Million Dollar Snare. We have some really high quality people that are around forming the sound with me but I wrote everything on Wonderland. I curated it, I designed it. But yeah, it’s just my debut.” 

Wvlker’s goals exceed that of the average artist, something that is far from surprising for a man of his skill set and accomplishment. “I want Dead Poet Soxiety to become a power player in the industry. I want us to be a recognized independent label, so I’m trying to get us the funding and the relationships we need to take the label to the next level. As for my music, I want to hit the charts. I am hoping to get a top 10 song in the next year. I am working on hitting Billboard with this EP. I am planning to put out a deluxe version of the EP in the next couple of months, and I am really hoping that will help with the push.” 

Keep up with Wvlker as he continues to climb the charts, release new music and videos, and grow his company and his platform as an artist, entrepreneur and big name in the music industry.
