Former Tennis Pro Belee Kaur turns to Dance Pop with Massive Hit Single ‘I Believe’ 

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA – It’s not unusual for professional athletes to use music as motivation, though it’s not every day that you hear about a former tennis pro turning to Dance Pop as an artistic outlet. That’s the case for Canadian-Indian singer/songwriter Belee Kaur, however. While traveling the world as a professional tennis player, music was always her best friend. She recalls crucial moments in her tennis matches when she would sing her favorite songs in her mind to calm herself down. Eventually she realized that music was her true passion, and after a lifetime of training and touring, she hung up her tennis racket in favor of the microphone and partnered with RATHMUZIK and BENTLEY RECORDS, NEW YORK to begin her musical journey. It has proven to be a great move, because with only two releases to date she has already topped 2 million views on YouTube, and her star is only climbing. 

Her latest single is the hit summer track “I Believe.” Stuck right in the middle of the Dance Pop lane, this upbeat jam is sure to be played in the clubs for many years to come. If you listen to this song and don’t move your body then you must be dead. It’s an upbeat, pumping groove that is perfect for a night out with friends. People all over the world will be getting sweaty as they jump and bounce to the music that Belee Kaur has created.  

“I wrote this song as a response to the self-motivation I felt when going through a lot of difficulties,” she said. “If you really want something, you don’t need someone to back you or encourage you. Just tell yourself that if you want it, you can do it. I accepted my feelings and said this is what I wanted to do. Making a song about that emotion just felt so good, and when we gave it that little bit of an EDM touch it just came out perfect.” 

“I Believe” is actually the second hit from this fast-rising young artist. Her previous track “Saturday Night” – a cover of the hit from Whigfield – has already surpassed 300k+ views on YouTube. The follow-up single is well on its way to catching that total, having already amassed nearly 1.5 million views in just a couple of weeks in its release. That doesn’t even include the rising number of plays across all the other streaming platforms upon which the single has been placed. And Belee said she has even more music planned to drop later this year, including a feature on an upcoming track with world famous Sean Paul, and many more renowned collaborations. 

“Always trust God and his plans for you,” Belee said. “Your outlook should be no looking back. I have always wanted to make music that is lively and makes people happy and want to dance. There are too many reasons to be sad nowadays, but music can bring happiness and inspiration to your life. Even if I only inspire one other person, I think I did my job. So, I hope people will use my music to convince themselves not to give up. If we can support each other, we can achieve all that we want to.”

Lavelle Williams – Amazing

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

Upbeat Pop jam from Lavelle Williams offers fans an ‘Amazing’ experience 

SACRAMENTO, CA – A fun new Dance Pop groove that’s sure to make you bop and sway to the beat has arrived from West Coast artist Lavelle Williams. “Amazing” is a simple but fun jam that’s all about the feelings that come when you’ve found that special someone. It’s upbeat, with hints of R&B influences throughout. The simple acoustic guitar intro leads to some driving drums that let loose for the Pop-heavy vocals from Lavelle. It’s a song with a mid-tempo bounce that makes you want to bop your head, and it’s paired with a nice sway that builds over the course of the song. It’s the perfect song to enjoy at the clubs, or to just play in the background with chilling with friends at a party. 

Williams said “Amazing” is a great example of his unique sound and style in that it displays his mastery of many genres. He considers his sound to be a mixture of everything, and cites a wide range of influences that include Drake, Justin Bieber, John Legend, and Big Sean. He also has studied some of the legends in rap, and considers Tupac one of the best lyricists of all time. 

“I hope my music is known for bringing new things to the table,” he said. “I want to bring a new sound that incorporates a variety of different genres. And mostly I want to make something that makes people happy and makes them want to dance.” 

Music is something that’s been a mainstay in Williams’ life from the time he was born. His grandfather is the legendary Lenny Williams from Tower of Power, and for as long as he can remember he’s been singing and rapping alongside other members of his family. More than that, however, he said music has been a great escape for him through the years and has helped him cope with some of the harder experiences of his life.  

“It helps me cope with and get my feelings out there,” he said. “I’m very grateful for the family and friends who have supported me and helped me along the way, and I’m so glad that I’ve had music in my life to push me along.” 

Williams said “Amazing” is the first track off a forthcoming EP that he’s working toward completing later this year.

AED Projek – Let’s Begin

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

Digital Music Creator Alonso Daniels offers dance track of the summer with hot new single ‘Let’s Begin’ 

ALEXANDRIA, VA – There’s one thing for certain that listeners of Alonso Daniels’ music can be sure of: there’s going to be a lot of energy. His latest single “Let’s Begin” is the perfect example. From the opening of the brash trumpet jazz intro to the very last beat drop, this dance-heavy upbeat track is the epitome of energy. It’s fun and upbeat and serves as the perfect introduction to what Daniels calls the “AED Projek” – a three-album extravaganza of upbeat songs that will take listeners on a musical journey over the next three years. 

“It’s dance music that’s mainly instrumental, though sometimes there are lyrics,” Daniels said. “‘Let’s Begin’ is just the first single. My plan is to release three singles this year and then the first album, with two more albums over the next two years. And everything kind of gets fully explained through the videos that will come. Eventually I’ll have other musicians come along and play, as well. You can discover things along the way and take a journey.” 

Daniels likened the project to something similar to what The Gorillaz would create in terms of elaborating on their music through other artistic mediums, like videos. “Let’s Begin” will establish the first step of that journey when the full video is released later this year. Even without the video, however, fans can enjoy the upbeat vibe that Daniels has created. The brash trumpet intro leads into a funky old-school hip-hop groove that includes record scratching and skipping lyrics.  

“It’s definitely something you can dance to,” Daniels said. “It’s a song that says, ‘We’ve gone through a lot of rough times over the past year, so let’s just go and have fun right now.’ That’s really all it is – just dancing and having fun. Nothing serious. What comes later will come later.” 

Daniels is a relative newcomer to the music recording industry, though he did spend some years as a manager for a band based out of France. He first came to music through his mother, who was a concert pianist. He said he remembers listening to her practice piano all day throughout his teenage years, and she even at one point tried to teach him how to play, though he never took to it. But she did instill within him a passion for good music, and eventually he started studying other artists who he considered to be some of the greats – such as The Beatles, Carlos Santana, Beck, Pink Floyd, and Maroon Five. Any band who created good energy caught his attention, and it’s that kind of vibe he tries to create in his own music.  

“It’s nice when you dance to something and just let out a lot of energy,” he said. “That’s what I like to do and what I like to create. I don’t even really consider myself a musician as much as a digital music creator. And at the end of the day I hope people hear my music and say that it was inspiring, fun and energetic. Eventually I hope its music that will inspire people to think different and do better for themselves and for others. But for right now, let’s just have fun and dance.” 

Daniels said his next single will be “Kiss, Kiss, Kiss,” which should drop later this summer. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:
