Chevy Quis – Shotgun

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Promo

Ride shotgun with passionate emcee Chevy Quis and his new single “Shotgun”

LOS ANGELES, CA – Chevy Quis, in conjunction with Ivree Productions, will hold a rooftop Release Party to launch Chevy’s new single, “Shotgun” atop the Ivree Production building in Hollywood on July 17. “Shotgun” is a west coast style cruising track, described by the artist as a trendy and witty lyric rhyme-scape blended with R&B vocal harmonies and tongue-twisting rap schemes.

The song takes inspiration from Chevy’s two sets of parents, both married for over a decade. His mother and stepmother are women who are fully supportive of their men. Describing his own ideal partner, the song celebrates having that ride or die chick that is just for him. “Riding shotgun by my side” – she is down for him 110% no matter the situation.

Chevy’s music combines a modern day R&B sound with melodic rapping. Showcasing his ability to switch it up, Chevy uses different variations of his rhyming with tempo twists and turns, adding a little sparkle and shine from the R&B side to hip hop beats.

Chevy is one artist of an independent group of artists known as the Famous Gang Entertainment (F.G.E.) Group. They grew up together in Minnesota and worked on several successful projects together. Taking a risk, the twelve artists made the 27 hour drive out to California nearly a year ago. Not all of them are still in California but those who remain are still pushing and making music.

He expresses his creativity by communicating his message in different and unique ways which allow listeners to relate to him as an artist. Chevy is working on the follow up to his 2018 debut album, “Epitome 1” which will feature music written since his arrival in California. He also plans to continue dropping singles and make a music video for “Shotgun.”

The book, “The Law of Attraction” changed Chevy’s way of thinking about how to take control of his life, how he could attract what he wanted, and to live life according to his calling. Chevy wants to encourage others to keep pushing. “Be the creator of the world that you live in. Go hard for what you wanna get in life, and go hard for what you want. Don’t ever let nobody tell you no. If somebody tells you “no”, convince them otherwise.”

Mike Colin – Electro Americana

Industry Spotlight, Music, Promo

Colin blends hip hop and electronic rock
in new homage to electronic music

DENVER, CO – Freedom is a word that Mike Colin finds himself using quite a bit. The artist from Denver, Colorado has been making music for more than 30 years, and a common theme over the years has been the free-flowing, organic nature of creativity. He also feels extremely blessed to live in a country that allows him to pursue his passion for music so freely and to create whatever he wants to. 

All of those ideas and more are captured on his new hit single, “Electro Americana,” which is a mash-up of rock, hip hop and electronic influences. It’s a song that fully embraces all that’s good and awesome about electronic music, while also pushing forward a message that encourages others to be free in whatever endeavors they choose to pursue.

“I think about how free I am to do this and how wonderful that is, and I’m not sure everyone knows how free they are to do what they want to,” Colin said. “Maybe I want my music to represent that. There’s such an attitude sometimes that something shouldn’t exist unless it’s popular, and I just don’t believe that. It doesn’t hold up. If my music represents anything, I guess it’s freedom and my imagination which are one and the same – and the attempt to inspire other people to embrace that freedom and take advantage of the opportunities they have before them.”

Colin has been taking advantage of that freedom and pursuing music as a career for more than 30 years when he first started performing in middle school. He’s been in rock bands, hip hop groups and even spent time in the 1990s as an acoustic performer during a time when music took a hard swing away from electronic sounds. He nods to the influences of classic rock legends like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Jimmy Hendrix, all of whom were regular staples in his household growing up. But it wasn’t until high school, when he picked up the guitar and started really learning about music, that his passion for that artistic expression really took off. Since that time, he has created an archive of music that spans decades and offers the world an eclectic menu of organic sounds and styles. 

With “Electro Americana,” Colin said he’s attempting to create something that’s “just fun” without having too much of an agenda. When he sat down and started creating the song, he had no intentions of making a statement to the world. However, out of the free-flowing creative process, he discovered that the song came to represent the genre of electronic music in ways that he hopes champions the sound to a wider audience.

“I’ve framed it for people to look at electronic music a bit differently,” he said. “I make music in every which way you can imagine. This is a good time for electronic music and it’s a genre that shouldn’t be looked down upon. I was in an acoustic band in the 1990s when people were abandoning the whole idea of electronics, and I got it at the time. But there’s nothing wrong with electronics and there’s nothing wrong with acoustic. I’ve made both and they’re both great and it’s all good. And with this song, I just want to celebrate something that’s fun and organic and free.”

Colin’s “Electro Americana” is currently available across all digital distribution sites. A free anthology of his music – consisting of more than 150 MP3s for people to download – is also available.

Marvilus Brown Jr. – Dominate

Music, Promo

Marvilus Brown Jr. hypes up the world with new single
‘Dominate’

HOUSTON, TX – Businessman. Musician. Philanthropist … Marvilus Marvin Brown Jr. is the total package. This Houston-based artist is a voice in the industry that needs to be heard, and his influence is spreading wider and wider as he continues to pursue a career that will motivate others to chase their dreams. His 14 years in the music and entertainment business have seen him ride the ups and downs of success – including more than 50,000 albums sold in 2014. And now he’s ready to dominate the industry again with his newest single, “Dominate.” The single is a self-described “comeback project,” that he says will serve as a statement to the world that though he’s taken a bit of a hiatus over the past couple of years, he’s back and better than ever.

“I’ve been releasing albums since 2010, and I had a good start but somewhere in the middle the business caught up to me and I wasn’t able to release a second project as widely as I wanted to,” he said. “This is my third project, and ‘Dominate’ is about coming back to dominate the industry. I’m looking to make a whale splash with my sound and old-school style. I have a look that’s unique. I have a few things to say within my music. And this song wraps all of those things up into a vibe that will get you hyped up. It’s like something a basketball team would play before a championship game.”

What started as an independent career eventually grew into something that caught the attention of some bigger labels, and in 2004 Marvilus moved to Los Angeles to work with William “Mickey” Stevenson, former vice president at Motown Records. He learned the business and started gaining some traction and a growing fanbase. His debut album “The President” sold more than 50,000 units. But his sophomore effort was shelved before it could be widely distributed. Discouraged, Marvilus returned to Houston and looked into other entertainment avenues. He found himself in video and film production, and was fortunate to produce a music video pilot show for Tiffany Haddish called “Malibu Countdown.” This experience gave him a real taste of the wider entertainment industry beyond music, and re-awakened his passion to leave a mark on the world by using his voice to influence others.

“I’m not trying to be someone who is too political or anything like that,” he said. “I want to give people a vision into why things are the way they are. Think outside the box. Understand that you can be many things. Even though I’m a rapper, I also own a moving business. At the end of the day you have to maximize your full potential and use everything you’ve been gifted with. If God gifted you with something and put a message in your heart, act on it – just act on your ideas and you’ll be successful. We all have great ideas, and money isn’t what’s stopping you from realizing those things. It’s you telling yourself, ‘No.’ I want to be a big brother of the business. I know I still have a lot to learn, but there are quite a few things I know about being an entrepreneur and this music industry, and I want to use that to help other people realize that they’re fully capable of more than just average. I’m living proof of that.”

“Dominate” is currently available across all digital distribution sites. It’s the first single off the
upcoming album “Destiny,” which is slated for a release in March. To listen to Marvilus’ music

Young Cristefer – Pillsbury DB

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Canadian Rapper Young Cristefer to Release EP “Edibles”

OTTAWA, CA – Canada may be experiencing freezing winter temperatures, but Cristefer Young-Hough is bringing the heat with his music. Coming out of Ottawa, he goes by Young Cristefer. It all started a few years ago when he fell in love with rap, thanks to the likes of Eminem and 50 Cent. Soon enough, the rapper found himself freestyling, and even wrote his first song called “Girls in Bed”.

More than anything, Young Cristefer has always wanted to be a big time rapper. Through other artist’s music he would listen to, he witnessed their success in rising to the top, and wanted to emulate that for himself one day. “I related to these rappers because I found I had something in common with them right off the bat. I haven’t always gotten along with my father, and some of my favorite rappers shared the similar experience. So, if they could do it, I knew I could as well,” said the artist. He’s all about writing meaningful lyrics that fans from anywhere in the world can relate to.

Through the past eight months, Young Cristefer really buckled down in his path to stardom. He has visions of being recognized for his work in the industry, and won’t stop until he achieves those goals. “For me, I’m into big drums and funky melodies. I have a pretty laid-back vibe, and I try my hardest not to be cliché in anything I do. My sound kind of mimics street poetry,” said the artist. This artistry is on full display in his latest single, “Pillsbury DB”, which is produced by Bruce Wayne. Since its release, everyone surrounding the rapper has been telling him what a banger the song is.

Up next, the artist is focusing on putting the finishing touches on his upcoming EP. The EP is called “Edibles”, and the artist tells us it will showcase his creativity in a whole different light. “I’ve got some stories to tell. The way I tell these stories sets me apart from anyone else out there. I may not be the world’s greatest rapper yet, but I’m confident I’m going to get there,” said Young Cristefer. Stay tuned!

Lil Kev – In My Bag

ME Blog, Music, Promo

Lil Kev leaves mark on hip-hop industry at only age 15

ALTOONA, IOWA – For as long as he can remember, Kevin Kennedy has wanted to make music and be a professional artist. As he’s grown up in the Midwest town of Altoona, Iowa, he’s often found himself visiting his uncle’s studio – watching closely as other artists record their music and gaining insider knowledge in how the industry works. With every new artist and song recorded in his uncle’s studio, Kevin would dream a little more.

At only age 15, Lil Kev is done waiting for his “some day” to get there. He’s ready to launch his career and show the world that he has lyrics and beats that are ready for the mainstream now. The release of his two new singles is just the beginning, he said. The first is a song called “In My Bag,” which he describes as a challenge to others to ignore the haters and keep pushing through to attain the dreams you want. It’s a more mellow song with a vibe that will be motivational to anyone who listens to it, he said.

The second song is “Lavish Life,” and he feels confident it’s the song that will put him on the map. It’s an upbeat song that shows off his work ethic and the dedication he brings to the craft.

“This is the kind of song that shows how hard I work and hopefully someday a label will recognize me,” he said. “Until that happens, I need to keep going hard. I have a unique sound. My shit is different. Everyone else tries to copy others, but I’m writing my lyrics different than what you hear anywhere else. It’s about my life and showing the world how I live. And I want to be known for being inspirational. If someone has put you down, don’t listen to them. Keep going up.”

Lil Kev’s big goal is to be the first hip-hop artist to come out of Iowa and make it big. His favorite artist today is NBA Young Boy, and he said he’s studied other big artists – especially Chief Keef, Lil Baby and Quando Rondo – to learn what they’ve done to be successful. He’s working with other producers, as well as his uncle, to refine his sound and find beats that will catch fans off-guard while giving them something catchy to listen to. And he writes all of his own lyrics – something he’s proud of for only being 15 years old.

“I’m just looking to make my dreams come true because I know I’m talented,” he said.

Chantz uses life tragedies to point people toward
hope through his music

PORT ST. LUCIE, FL – Though music has always been a mainstay for Chantz Cooper, it wasn’t
until tragedy struck a year ago that he turned to music as a viable career.

In fact, it wasn’t just one tragedy, but a series of tragedies that all ran together, one after the other. It started when he lost his job – something completely unexpected and untimely because he and his girlfriend were expecting a baby. But shortly after that, the couple lost the baby to a miscarriage. And as if those two things alone weren’t bad enough, Chantz was hit by a car a few weeks later – breaking his back and causing him to be bed-ridden for months.

It was during those months laid up and in pain that he contemplated his life and the moments
that had gotten him to that point in his life. He was faced with the most important decision of
his life: continue with life as usual, or make a drastic change that could be the thing that would save his life.

“There were countless dark days way before that, but this was the breaking point,” Chantz
recalls. “I suffer from depression and I’ve never been an outspoken person, and for the longest
time I left so many things bottled up inside. While I was lying up in bed, back hurting, I thought, ‘Why not write those things down? Why not become a voice for others?’ I decided I wanted my life to be about making people feel good. If my music can make you feel good when you were feeling bad, that’s good!If it also makes you feel my pain while realizing that there’s hope through it all, then I’ve done my job over the top.”

Chantz’s new album “Paid the Cost” is the penultimate project to summarize his life’s journey
and the road he’s traveled over the past year to get to this point. It’s an album that uses his
own personal tragedies to help other people understand that there are always hardships
behind anyone’s success.

“I’ve been through a lot and I really want to tell my story,” he said. “I’ve lived in basements and attics. I was raised by a single mother. And I’ve paid the cost to be successful. I went through that to lead up to where I’m at right now and where I’m headed in the future. My goal is to be a big influence with people – to inspire them to be something. Don’t always go after what someone else thinks is right for you. Follow what you think is right. If you do that, you’ll make it far, no matter what you want to do in life. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t even try.”

The album will feature 10 songs, including the lead-off single “Members Only.” Chantz said the
inspiration for the song came from all the haters in his life. “Everyone had an opinion and I
wanted to show people that they don’t matter,” he said. “Everyone said I won’t be anything. So
I’m gonna show them wrong.”

Amira – Mathematics | @AmirasMuzic

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Hot new artist Amira brings sound, style reminiscent of the late Aaliyah

BALTIMORE, MD – All of her life, Amira has looked up to some of music’s most noteworthy
divas. To this day, she’s quick to point to artists such as Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Monica,
as well as some rising divas such as Ariana Grande and Tori Kelly. In fact, it’s those fast-rising
female artists that she hopes to join one day as one of the world’s premier female musicians. As
an up-and- coming independent artist in search of her first big deal, she is well on her way.

Her most recent single, “Mathematics,” is the next step on her way to achieving that dream.
The pop-infused, mid-tempo song features lyrics that deal with a relationship breakup. It
follows Amira on a journey that starts with wanting her lover to understand how much she
loves him, to saying that it isn’t for her, to eventually backing out of the relationship.

“The music video follows the story from the song,” she said. “I start off venting to a friend
because I think my boyfriend is cheating on me. I’m hurt and I don’t know what to do about it.
As the video progresses, you see me kind of begging him to see me and that I want to be there
for him. I’m genuine in my feelings, but as the video progresses I can see that this is a
relationship that is not for me. At the end I walk away from camera with my hands in the air
because I’m done.”

Fans who watch the video will immediately be struck by the similarity Amira shares with the
late Aaliyah. Her sound and style are also reminiscent of the late pop icon, with a young, sweet
and innocent look that combines with powerhouse vocals and a supreme confidence that
makes it nearly impossible not to pay attention to what she has to say.

“I just want to be somebody who is relatable,” she said. “A lot of celebrities are well known, but
not relatable. Most everyday girls can’t relate to the lifestyle they’re going through. I want to
change that, if I can. I want to be the artist that some girl in high school could hear and
immediately get what I’m saying. I’m not just somebody on TV – I’m more than that. Even the
celebrities or singers that I look up to, I can’t say that I relate to what they’re doing or what
they’re going through. Their lives seem so different from mine. I want to be more relatable and
fill that space.”

“Mathematics” is the first single off an EP that Amira said she hopes to drop later this year. In
the meantime, fans can check out her music or follow her on social media by visiting:
