London-Based Singer Rhodes Releases An Energetic Song ‘Good To You’
Since the early 2000s, the British singer, songwriter, and guitarist Rhodes has been mesmerizing audiences with the emotionally engaging and enveloping soundscapes that he creates.
Rhodes, who was born and raised in London, started performing music at an early age and eventually learned to play the guitar as well as the piano. In the 2010s, he released his first extended play (EP) titled “Raise Your Love” which comprised tunes inspired by indie rock as well as folk music. This was the beginning of his rise to fame in the UK.
The year 2014 saw the release of Rhodes’ first studio album, titled “Wishes.” Music critics liked the album a lot, and it helped Rhodes become known as a rising star in the music business.
The album included the smash singles “Turning Back Around” and “Your Soul” both of which had considerable radio play and served to consolidate Rhodes’ status as a top performer in the UK music industry. In addition, the album contained a number of other songs that were successful.
Rhodes has continued to travel globally ever since the success of his song “Wishes,” giving performances at festivals and venues all over the globe. His second album, titled “Sleep Is a Rose” was published in 2017, and it further demonstrated his capacity to create music that is contemplative and emotionally charged.
The album includes the breakthrough songs “Let It All Go” and “Close Your Eyes,” both of which got considerable radio play and served to solidify Rhodes’ image as a skilled and varied performer. “Close Your Eyes” was Rhodes’ first hit record, and “Let It All Go” was his second.
Rhodes is well-known not only for his successful career as a musician but also for the charity work he does and the activism he takes part in. He has used his position to speak out against problems pertaining to social justice, and the earnings from his performances have been given to a wide variety of charities and organizations.
His unwavering dedication to using his work to help people has not only won him the love of his audience but also made him a force for good in the field.
Rhodes went through a phase in his life in which he was afraid he was going to lose someone important to him. As a result of this fear, he was inspired to create the song “Good To You,” in which he essentially admits that he is the cause of the issue and that he is the one who needs to make changes.
He played on the concept that, without this one individual, he would be absolutely nothing and no one, and he did this by making jokes about it. This song was written by him, his partner, who was the person he dreaded losing the most, and his close friend Steven Weston. They all collaborated on it.
This is one of the most upbeat and joyful songs on the album, and it features Rhodes’ bright and forceful vocals, along with appealing melodies and lyrics that pack a punch.
Throughout the course of his career, Rhodes has been honoured with a plethora of honours and trophies, one of which is the Critics’ Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the year 2015.
He has also been acknowledged for his creativity and innovation in the music business, which has led to him being nominated for a number of accolades (including the Mercury Prize) and receiving recognition from industry experts and music journalists.
Fans of this exceptional artist may anticipate that in the future they will see even more of this artist’s work. Rhodes will undoubtedly continue to make waves in the business for many years to come as a result of his unique fusion of indie rock and folk, as well as his capacity to produce music that is both emotional and self-reflective.
Star2 Releases His Second Collaboration With Lil Poppa Titled “Pain”
Star2, an Asian American singer, songwriter, and rapper, has caused quite a stir in the music business with his unique combination of pop, R&B, and hip-hop.
Star2 has swiftly become a fan favorite due to his ability to flawlessly integrate a variety of musical genres into one exciting immersion of sound. He is well-known for his soulful voice as well as his engaging stage appearance.
His family had to travel almost 500 kilometres through the Thai forest in order to escape the Burmese army, which had assaulted and burned down their village before he was born in a refugee camp in Thailand.
Although he did not have a biological father or mother, his grandmother entered a lottery and was selected to immigrate to the United States. When he was six years old, she brought him to San Diego, which is where he started his new life. He did not have a biological father or mother by his side.
He spent his youth performing in church choirs and taking part in local talent competitions. By the time he entered high school, he was certain that he wanted to make a living as a musician. However, Star2 was able to find peace in music when he was a teenager and began to learn how to rap, sing, create, and perform.
He formed his own musical style by drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Justin Bieber, Tyga, Chris Brown, and a number of others. His work has catchy choruses, lush harmonies, and a distinctively progressive R&B soundtrack.
Star2 is able to connect with his fans on a more intimate level than other artists, which is one of the things that sets him apart from other musicians. His live performances are noted for their high levels of intensity and emotion, and his songs often touch on familiar topics like love, sorrow, and personal development. Because of his brilliance and genuineness, he has amassed a devoted fan following that keeps expanding with each new release.
The two rappers collaborated together in the past on their smash song “Real Life,” and they have done so once again on the track “Pain,” which addresses common threads of suffering, contrasting feelings, and the origins of sorrow.
A heartfelt and stirring listening experience may be had by listening to the visceral rap track, which combines emotional lyrics, gorgeous piano melodies, and passionate vocals from Star2 at the core of each chorus.
Both musicians croon with a sense of despair and melancholy, which is emblematic of their age, their traumatic experiences, and their broken selves. Underlying both the worry and the addiction is an ongoing state of suffering.
In the video, a young lady, helpless in the face of her own suffering, can be seen slitting her wrists while sitting in an antique bathtub. “Pain” is a beautiful song that paints a picture that is not only very depressing but also spot-on on what lies inside our younger selves.
2022 saw the birth of the Trio Melt Motif with the release of the acclaimed ‘album A White Horse Will Take You Home.’ The album became a household song for lovers of good music, and it really received lots of reviews from music lovers and critics.
With a unique sound and exceptional vocals the trio are out with a new one titled Full moon. They do for sure sound unique, but to put it in context, names like Nine Inch Nails, Portishead, Goldfrapp and Depeche Mode are often mentioned.
In a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh the band shared the inspiration behind their new album and some bits of their life.
Get the full story below while you enjoy Full Moon below
Where do you find inspiration?
It can come from music by other artists and visual art and film. David Lynch, mainly as a film director, and his use of sound and music in his films is probably our most significant inspirational source.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
Not especially musical, but creative. We have a lot of that in our family.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
No one in particular. It’s more about my huge interest in music and a need to challenge myself.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I can’t sing, but luckily we have Rakel to take care of that. She’s also singing in a philharmonic choir and operas. I learned the basics of playing instruments as a kid, and by working in creative businesses all my life, like design and creative direction, writing comes naturally to me.
I can’t sing, but luckily we have Rakel to take care of that. She’s also singing in a philharmonic choir and operas.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
Oh, I can’t remember the first ever concert as I did go to many as a kid. But the first to probably mean something special to me was Motörhead.
How could you describe your music?
Dark, different, and surprising.
Describe your creative process.
We are composing from two different locations on the planet, Brazil, and Norway, so we have our particular way. One of us comes up with something. It might be just a drum loop or a complete song. Then we share between us, iterating on it until we have a final piece. We always write the lyrics and record vocals in the end.
What is your main inspiration?
As mentioned, David Lynch. The way he is all about the art and how he challenges his audience is unique and inspiring.
What musician do you admire most and why?
I admire my band colleague Joe, who taught me not to overthink when creating music but to do whatever feels right.
What are your interests outside of music?
Art. Photography. Technology. And a lot more!
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
To get MIDI synced right, haha.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? On both our first album, A White Horse Will Take You Home, and our upcoming, Particles. Death Objective, the titles are text lines found in our lyrics. Again, probably inspired by David Lynch, we choose titles that might have different meanings and can be decoded differently by the listener.
What are your plans for the coming months?
We have lots of plans. We are preparing remixes of our songs done by other artists, we are doing a surprise cover song, and we are doing a sort of ambient cinematic project. We are doing some remixes for other artists too. 2023 will be a busy year when it comes to new releases.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
Yes, we collaborate with several other artists, mainly with remixes, and find that inspiring. A collaboration with the techno artists äbvsd has actually become our most streamed song on Spotify.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
We talked about inspiration, and I forgot the most important; The listeners who stream and buy our music. That is probably the most inspiring of all. Thank you so much!
Ona Tzar Unleashes Her New Music Video Chains Of Angels
As an independent female artiste Ona Tzar composes and produces her own songs, Ona is one of the most hardworking female artists you would ever come across.
Even at a very young age, her teachers were able to see the artistic light beaming in her, her teachers later encouraged her parents to let that light shine brightest. Ona later started taking classes for violin and later flute, and played in orchestras for a while.
Ona has sturdily been nurturing her talents and rising up the ranks, she recently won “Best Original Score” at the Berlin sound fest as well as is nominated as a participating video in a handful of film festivals.
Even with little resources, Ona Tzar makes good use of the handful, as she wrote/directed/choreographed/edited and color graded the music video for her recent song – Chains Of Angels
The song is an alternative electronic romp through futurism and exploration of the shackles that bind; at times cinematic, emotive and pensive, at times danceable, with lush sounds that meet noisy textures and electronic elements/beats.
More of this was shared in a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, where she shared more about herself as well as portions of her private life.
What is your stage name:
It is the same as my birth name; ONA TZAR
Where do you find inspiration?
Fellow artists that live and speak their truth with unquenchable inspire me. Art itself inspires me. Life inspires me. I tend to suffer more from an overabundance and overwhelm of inspiration and ideas in myriad directions , rather than lack.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
When I was a child my school reached out to my parents and told them that they intuitively felt/feel I am musical, and encouraged them to foster that in me. I took up violin at the time (and later flute), and played in orchestras for a while; though I gave the instruments up in high school, I often feel the dynamic of being in orchestra as a child still influences my compositions, as I tend to hear big crescendos, layer too many instruments, and feel/hear strings and orchestral acoustic instruments in my songs, even though primarily electronic based. I also grew in NYC surrounded by artists and musicians and practically lived /slept backstage, so somehow there’s an element of home in venues.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
Yes. My grandfather was a big opera singer in Serbia, who wouldn’t conform to the rules and got a bit exiled, my father is a fashion designer, and mother is a photographer… Art and artists were in my air my breath upon entering the world, and hopefully will be until I fade to the next dimension.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
Tricky was one of my main muses growing up; though I love and receive influence form multiple genres, trip hop and Bristol sounds were a huge influence for me, growing up.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I don’t know if I know anything, really 😉 I am more along the intuitive spectrum. I just create/feel, and am at the mercy of what arises.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I have memories of being backstage at a Garbage concert in 90s NYC. Those memories stayed with me.
How could you describe your music?
A bit of storytelling and soundtracky; though I try to stray away, somehow the visual artist in me and my gravitation toward the cinematic dimensions, somehow always interweaves into my songs. Electronic, with organic influences. Bass and beat driven. Dynamic. Mystical and mythical. And never really exactly how I want it to sound, as I’m an impossible critic 😉
Describe your creative process.
Honestly, I am one of those that has an overabundance of ideas, in myriad dimensions and mediums, and I’ve suffered all my life from having too many ideas and being torn in multiple directions.
onestly, I am one of those that has an overabundance of ideas,
So I attempted to discipline and focus more in the last years, however, I’ve realized that, while some discipline is good, ultimately, I have to ride the waves and floods of inspiration while they are there.
If I catch the wave, I will often be a bit of a madwoman and whole up or completely immerse myself for days, to the exempt of much eating or sleeping either, until I’ve got the base foundation down… So as not to lose the flow (and also, it’s hard to stop wants the flood starts).
What musician do you admire most and why?
I don’t want to shortcut on listing names, but really there are too many. I admire and respect those that work on multiple aspects of their creative process (not just sonically); for instance perhaps also work with visuals, dance, so forth.
I respect those that truly tell their own authentic tale and have a world of their own. Those that leave and breathe art in every minute and every fibre. I respect those that work hard.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
Yeah, for sure… Maybe production wise the most. But I also look back on some tracks where I wasn’t thinking about anything or know much of what I was doing , and think there is also a majik and innocence /unboundness of ideas to that flow that learning more can’t replace, and can even potentially hinder.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
I’m mostly just my own worst enemy inside.
What are your interests outside of music?
Visual arts, cinema, fashion/design/architecture, psychology, dance, love, equality for animals and humans, energy, self growth, the realms and journey of spirit and living life with an eye on multiple dimensions.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing? Maybe directing films/cinematography. Dance. Fashion. Forensic psychology and some kind of healing therapies.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? Being my own worst critic and enemy. Not quite producing or composing the way I want. My loathing of self promotion. The algorithm. Lack of support 😉
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? More fiscal and general support, in every direction.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? Mmm… Good question. The title chose the project, not me choosing the title, really 😉 The themes of oppression and liberation were what the song told me it wanted to be about, and in the first draft the lyrics “Chains of Angels” came out.
What are your plans for the coming months? Finish/release more singles, make another music video, get my live set ready to re-emerge into the live set world.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans Plan on doing some witch housey meets industrial sound tracks with someone, as well as an impending music video with a DOP here in London.
What message would you like to give to your fans? It’s in the heart, not the head.

Legendary Kool & The Gang Returns With A Bang Titled ‘Let’s Party’
Kool & the Gang has always been there whenever there has been a large gathering of people. They have probably started and run more parties than all other groups in the history of the world put together.
The indestructible band from New Jersey established a boogie in the early 1970s that has never been stopped because it is impossible to imagine anybody ever wanting to do so.
It was in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1964 that the famed funk and rhythm and blues band Kool & The Gang was established. Robert “Kool” Bell and his brother Ronald Bell, who played saxophone and keyboards, respectively, were the founders of the band and performed those instruments. Other founding members were Robert Mickens, Charles Smith, Dennis Thomas, Ricky West, and George Brown. Ricky West was also an initial member.
After the publication of their album “Wild and Peaceful” in the 1970s, which was responsible for the creation of the successful track “Jungle Boogie” Kool & The Gang’s career began to take off in a big way. After this, the artist had a succession of hit albums and songs, some of which include “Hollywood Swinging,” “Ladies’ Night” and “Too Hot.”
The band continued to have chart-topping successes throughout the 1980s, including “Get Down On It” and “Celebration” amongst others. It is safe to say that “Celebration” is one of the band’s most famous and lasting songs since it has been included in a great number of films, television series, and advertisements.
Kool & The Gang has been performing together for more than half a century and has put out a large number of records throughout the course of their career. They have a combined total of over 70 million recordings sold all over the globe and several Grammy Awards to their name.
Even though the band has had many lineup changes over the course of its career, it has kept doing things like touring and performing. In recent years, they have given performances at a variety of music festivals, often sharing the stage with other legendary artists like Earth, Wind & Fire and The O’Jays.
In their most recent hit, “Let’s Party,” Kool & The Gang simply encourage listeners to let go of their cares, let loose, and have a good time. It’s the same message that the band has been trying to get through to us ever since the days of “Jungle Boogie” and “Hollywood Swinging,” and it speaks to the same fundamental need that we all have as humans.
Kool and the Gang have always had the ability to get everyone moving to the same beat, which is something that people need in order to feel connected. The structure of the song “Let’s Party” is reminiscent of the chart-topping single “Spirit of the Boogie” which was released in 1975.
On the other hand, the synthesizer sounds and electrical components provide a very modern vibe. “Let’s Party” was produced and co-written by George “Funky” Brown, a veteran drummer with Kool & The Gang. The song is a fiery example of how dance music is always popular and how the rhythm is hard to break. Brown was also a co-writer on the track.
Also, people who don’t know the artist can learn about a new performer in the music video that goes with the song. Singer Sha Sha Jones is the first woman to share lead vocals on Kool & The Gang recordings.
Her upbeat attitude, mild hedonism, and sense of humour make her a perfect fit for the band’s roster. Sha Sha Jones is the first woman to share lead vocals on Kool & The Gang tracks.
Jones is featured in the video as well as being one of the co-writers of the song “Let’s Party.” She has great videogenic qualities, such as being radiant and charming, and she fits in well with the rest of the group.
On a bright and sunny day, the members of Kool & The Gang are seen performing in all-white attire next to a swimming pool in a backyard setting. They are singing and play instruments.
Christina Berry, a multi-award-winning choreographer who has worked closely with Kool & The Gang for many years, is responsible for the dance steps that everyone is now doing at a party that is currently in full swing.
Kool & The Gang has had a big impact on the music business as a whole, and they are also known for their contributions to funk and R&B. Because of this, they have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Their music is adored by people all around the globe, and they continue to be a well-known and influential band. Additionally, their sound has withstood the test of time.

Ava Della Pietra Unveils ‘I’ve Been Thinking’ From Her “Truth Or Truth” EP
Ava Della Pietra is a rising star in the entertainment industry, known for her soulful voice in the music world and her captivating performances on Broadway. She is known for both of these things.
Ava was born and raised in New York City, and she has always had a strong interest in the performing arts. When she was pretty young, she started taking singing and acting lessons.
Voice and acting coaches helped her along the way, and a helpful Broadway agent helped her get some auditions. But Della Pietra thinks that starting her career at a young age gave her the most momentum. Della Pietra’s mother sings and plays the guitar and violin.
Ava made her Broadway debut when she was just 6 years old, performing in a musical adaptation of “Les Misérables.” Prior to that, she had honed her skills in productions at local theatres. Ava’s performance at the Tony Awards was praised by critics, and she gained a dedicated fan base as a result of it. The show itself was met with a variety of reactions from audiences.
As Ava’s career grew, she started to follow her interest in music, and she eventually decided to record an album to show what she had done. She developed an original style that was a fusion of pop, rock, and Broadway show tunes by drawing creativity from the roles she played on stage and the music she listened to growing up.
Artists like Lauv, Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, the Jonas Brothers, Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Maroon 5, and Ed Sheeran have had a big impact on Ava. Alec Benjamin is also one of Ava’s primary influences.
Ava Della Pietra, a 17-year-old songwriter, Broadway actress, and multi-instrumentalist, just released “I’ve Been Thinking,” the second of four original songs leading up to the release of her debut EP.
Following the release of “Power of You,” a dreamy tune about overcoming other people’s expectations, Ava Della Pietra has just released “I’ve Been Thinking.” “power of you” is about overcoming other people’s expectations.
The song “I’ve Been Thinking” is about her childhood friend who moved away many years ago. In the song, she reflects on how carefree they felt together, such as how they used to laugh out loud and act silly as kids do. The friend moved away many years ago.
While reminiscing, I began to wonder if my memories of my old friend are so incredible because I still view her through the eyes of my younger self, or if this person was truly special, and I should’ve kept in touch. I hope that if my friend hears this song, we can reconnect, and I hope that this song will inspire others to reach out to their old friends as well.
In an interview, she talked about how thankful she was for the chances that had been given to her and how she wanted to keep learning and improving her artistic skills.
It is without a shadow of a doubt that Ava will continue to shine in the years to come as a result of the talent and versatility that have earned her a devoted following in the worlds of music and theater.
Currently holds the Ghana Music Award in the United States. Georgette Class-Peters, better known in the entertainment industry as Efua, was awarded the Afro Pop Song of the Year award and collaborated with ‘Echoke’ hitmaker S3fa on her most recent track, titled ‘Catch A Vibe.’
The groovy Afropop hit will hook you in your feelings, but it will also take you straight out of those poisonous emotions, inferiority mentalities, and negative energies very instantly, sort of courtesy of the vibey beat and Efua’s soothing voice and in-depth lyrics.
The song “Catch A Vibe,” which was produced by Edwin Anthony, reveals a hitherto unexplored facet of Efua’s vocal skill and ability. Fans are in for a mind-blowing rollercoaster in the form of a ride that will be paid for by people who know how much progress the young vocalist is making.
Efua disclosed the following when asked about the sources of inspiration for her most recent album;
This song is part of a larger body of work, so when I was creating it, it was about leaving behind the habit of pleasing people and finally doing what it takes to make yourself happy. I wrote the song more than a year ago, but I kept it because I didn’t feel it was ready yet.
I knew it needed something or someone. S3fa came to mind after hearing Echoke when I walked into the auditorium for my GMA-USA performance practice following my nomination this year. She was on my vision board for 2022, sitting next to Stonebwoy, and I had a playlist of people that I wanted to work with, and she was on it.
I put the desire out there and prayed about it. About 10 months later, I met her at a Kofi Kinaata concert. The rest is history.
Efua’s music is influenced by a wide range of musicians from all around the world, such as Tems, Ayra Starr, Ruger, Sefa, KiDi, Kuami Eugene, Lauren Hill, and Whitney Houston.

Addy Faith Shares Story Behind Latest Single Ghost
“I chose ‘Ghost’ as the title as a way of moving on from the past. the person i wrote it for was one of the most toxic people i’ve ever met in my life. “You’re a ghost to me” means i can finally be my own person and leave behind the old me that agrees with toxicity and couldn’t stand up for myself.”
In a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, the sensational singer Addy Faith disclosed the real reason behind her latest song Ghost.

It talks about acknowledging the memories they had, but are finally disconnected from the person as the vocalist is ready to move on to something bigger and better.
The artist who draws inspiration from other artists she looked up to while growing up has gradually raised up the ranks after carefully and perfectly nurturing her craft. after lots of tries and errors, the sensational singer has finally been able to find her vocal range.
Addy Faith shared some private stories of herself as well as who she is when she is not making music.
What is your stage name:
My stage name is Addy Faith, my actual name is Addy Beasley.
Is there a story behind your stage name?
The only story behind it is that i felt disconnected from my last name and using my middle name, Faith, felt more promising and hopeful. It also flows better in my opinion.
Where do you find inspiration?
My inspiration for music has always been the people I looked up to at a young age. Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, Demi Lovato, Usher, basically anyone that was popular in the 2000s. My inspiration going forward is my sister. She passed away December 1st, 2022 due to a rare medical condition called TTP and she also had Lupus.
I didn’t know until after she passed that she adored me. She loved my music and the effect it had on others. She was so proud. There’s no way I would ever let her down, so I continued to make music even when I didn’t want to. She never gave up so neither could I.
Currently my favorite artist is Lil Nas X and he inspires me to better the world through music and be a voice to people who can’t use theirs.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
Music has been part of my life since I could speak. I would be singing all the time. Writing songs became a thing when I was 8 and i’ve always been writing since then. I learned to write lyrics by studying my idol’s songs and lyrics. I wanted to capture my emotions through metaphors and lyrics and by the time I was 17 I feel as though I had perfected my skill.
My inspiration going forward is my sister. She passed away December 1st, 2022 due to a rare medical condition called TTP and she also had Lupus
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
My dad’s side was musical and my mom’s side was artistic so with both powers combined, I kind of scored big time.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I don’t think I ever actually had a teacher, it all was just trial and error and i just kept doing it. I am a naturally talented singer, but I had taken choir in all my school years so that helped me and the songwriting part was just me writing and eventually i got good at it.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I actually didn’t go to a concert until I was 19 (I’m 20) and I saw Olivia Rodrigo. At the time, I was thinking music may not be for me and I should just quit. To see her perform on stage and have the crowds know every word and interact with her convinced me to be the artist I am. I wanted to be her in that moment and I wanted to make people feel the way she made me feel.
How could you describe your music?
To describe my music, would take years. In summary, I believe my music can be a voice. It can be a helping hand. I figure by putting my emotions into songs, someone would feel heard and want to create something of their own. My music can feel like a random burst of energy, sadness, happiness, and anger. It also feels like every album i make represents the best and worst times of my life and i hope others feel like they’re seen while listening.
Describe your creative process.
My creative process is literally just me sitting on my bed, listening to beats and when one makes me feel connected to it and connected to myself, i know that’s the one. I don’t write my lyrics down, I hop in the studio and just record. I pick a topic and basically describe thoughts and emotions surrounding that topic. from there i make a banger.
What is your main inspiration?/What musician do you admire most and why?
My main inspiration is once again Lil Nas X because of the way he is. He incorporates pain, happiness, bad bitch energy, and makes you feel powerful with every song. He’s also mad funny.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? My style has shifted with each album I make. Fashion wise, i felt more colorful making Blank Canvas. My hair color changed frequently. I felt more energetic and powerful making Bittersweet. I felt more basic and original making Polaroid.
Since beginning, I wanted to be more of an indie artist and it was all fun and games but going forward, I wanted to be a pop artist with both danceable songs and sad songs. Basically anything that can capture any emotion I feel.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
My main competition right now is myself and the weight I put on my own shoulders to constantly be better than I am. I doubt myself a lot, and I put myself down.
However, once I’m in the studio, nothing else matters but the song. No opinion or self hate could change me or my music and I will continue setting the bar higher than before and growing as an artist.
What are your interests outside of music?
Outside of music, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, drawing and working at my job.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
If music wasn’t the career choice, I probably would be either a nurse or a tattoo artist.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
The biggest problem I would say is the writers block. I hate not making music cause i can’t think. it’s honestly the worst thing about being an artist. I also find marketing to be extremely difficult mainly because i don’t know who my main fan base is or what kind of people i attract.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
If i could change something in the industry it would be the fact that it’s hard to get in there. Someone can make a song about twinkle twinkle little star and suddenly be a top artist. Or someone could just be rich and make it. I want to be there cause i know this is what I want and I could be one of the best.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? I chose Ghost as the title as a way of moving on from the past. the person i wrote it for was one of the most toxic people i’ve ever met in my life. “You’re a ghost to me” means i can finally be my own person and leave behind the old me that agrees with toxicity and couldn’t stand up for myself.
What are your plans for the coming months?
The plan for the upcoming month is to release a new single to introduce the next album. The album will be a nostalgic 2000s theme and will be focusing on mental health.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
It will be featuring artists like my good friend, kDub Droopy and who ever else comes into play.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
A message for my fans would be to never give up. try until you can’t try anymore. I am living proof that it is worth it to chase your dreams and be the best version of yourself you can be. 🙂

While doing so, the moods fluctuate from euphoria and melancholy, with a hint of self-irony and wit, all of which are incorporated into a sonic stew of new wave, indie, and a hint of funk. It does happen occasionally that one or more songs fail to locate their intended audience and lose themselves in kinetic dance routines.
Brian Strand Releases Captivating Song - To Build A Home
Brian Strand is a talented songwriter, composer, and musician who writes and performs songs in a variety of genres, including pop, alternative, electronic, and folk music, all with a cinematic flair.
His new song To build A Home was inspired by one of his favourite song “This Is A Home”. Lyrically, his songs touch on the changing world, time, uncertainty and overcoming. In a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, Brain shared what really inspired this song
” Lyrically, the song reminds me of my father who passed away when I was 25, and how I continue to deal with the change in my world after living in the safe environment that he and my mother built for me and my brothers. It has been a very character-building experience that makes me reflect on myself and the world I have created for others.”
In the first few months of 2023, he plans to release Selfie, his debut studio album. Selfie is a 10-track EP that starts off heavily pop/electronic, turns to a more pop/alternative vibe as it goes along, and ends with an insecure, acoustic singer/songwriter closing song.

What is your stage name?
Brian Strand
Is there a story behind your stage name?
I’ve been in various bands over the years with names like Surefire and The Silent Game. In trying to come up with something for my new solo project, I found that the pool of available band names is incredibly limited, and nothing identified me better than my name.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration through interactions with people like my family, former bandmates, as well as in things I read, music I listen to, places I go, changes in the weather, unique sounds and my emotional state at any given time.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
There was always music playing when I was growing up, whether in the car or on the stereo at home. There was no shortage of Queen, Earth Wind and Fire, Enya, Sade and UB40, and the soundtracks for Cocktail and Blues Brothers were on heavy rotation.
I really started finding music that piqued my interest in my early teens, listening to heavier rock music from bands like Nine Inch Nails, Far, and Primus.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
I have a semi-musical/artistic family. I remember listening to my mom play piano at night after my brothers and I went to bed. My older brother is a multi-instrumentalist and is one of the best musicians I know (I’d be in a band with him if he didn’t live on the other side of the country).

My younger brother has a gift for writing, and is a great designer and photographer. My oldest son is an incredible sketch artist, and he and my younger son have imaginations that know no bounds.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
As my musical taste started to develop, I gravitated towards rock music and was inspired to learn to play the drums, so I joined my school band. When that music didn’t align with the style that I enjoyed listening to, I looked for other ways to create music I liked, and created a garage band with some friends.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
Being a drummer, songwriting wasn’t a role of mine in my early bands. But finding unique or catchy melodies came naturally. I used to watch the hand positioning of the guitarist and would try to figure out chords on an acoustic guitar that my aunt left at my house. A friend taught me A and G chords on guitar, and my brother gave me a short tutorial using a MIDI keyboard with Cakewalk, which was my introduction to learning how to record the ideas I was creating.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
The first concert I went to was a Sacramento band called Far, who played at a small bar called Old Ironsides in Sacramento, CA. They ended up being one of my favorite all-time bands and their singer Jonah is one of my biggest musical idols.
How could you describe your music?
I would describe the music I am currently writing as a mix of pop, alternative, folk and electronic, rounded off with a cinematic touch. I try to pull in little bits of Elliott Smith, Foster the People, Depeche Mode and Sufjan Stevens.
Describe your creative process.
I never know when a good idea is going to strike. In fact, not all ideas are good to begin with and sometimes it’s fun to take on the challenge of turning a mediocre idea into a good one.
That being said, when I get an idea, I either record it as a voice memo on my phone, or I open a new recording session on my computer and play around on the keyboard or my guitar until something has that “spark” moment. Then I build around it, often without knowing what I want to do or where the song will go. Sometimes the music just has a way of writing itself and it kind of feels like I’m just along for the ride.
What is your main inspiration?
I am most inspired by personal growth. I like to look at the songs I’ve written as my personal benchmark, and am driven to write something better.
What musician do you admire most and why?
When it comes to songwriting, performance, showmanship, and creativity, the two artists that I really admire are Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Jonah Matranga of Far/Gratitude/Onlinedrawing.
Reznor’s body of work is so methodical and wide ranging. From the track order of his albums, to the live stage presentation, to the uniqueness of his music videos, he is so thoughtful in his approach beyond the music he creates. As a teen, I was instantly drawn to the way his music blended melody among chaos.
Matranga showed me the value of sincerity, simplicity, expressiveness, and connection as a musician and songwriter. At that time, I had never heard such explosive music be contrasted with such emotional and delicate vocals, and done in a way that felt so genuine. Watching him perform live was unparalleled. He would unapologetically own the stage.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
My style has absolutely evolved. Being a songwriter is a constant learning experience. Like any professional in any field, I started with limited knowledge, and over time I changed as I learned how to do things better.
I think what I like about music in general has evolved, and thus I changed as well. I really used to enjoy writing loud, hard, three-piece rock band music because I liked how that type of music hit me in the chest, and I liked the feeling of adrenaline I would get when blasting it on the stereo.
Over time, I found that what I was writing was lacking some of the elements that drew me to that type of music. Things like strong vocal melodies, meaningful lyrics and recurring melodic themes. Around the same time, I had two children and found as they aged that they are excellent judges of music. Often when they would be drawn to a song in its early stages of writing, it would end up appealing to a wider audience.
A friend told me that when your song can be stripped down and sung over just guitar or piano and still sound good, then you know you have something. Taking a minimalist approach to songwriting opened a whole new direction of writing for me. Now I find that I write my best music when the concepts are simple, and then extra instrumentation is thoughtfully added.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
I don’t see my music as having direct competition… at least not at the level I am at. Rather, I feel like I am part of a large musical community. But if I had to choose something that I am constantly up against I’d say time.
The industry has changed so much so quickly. As a songwriter, I want to pour all my effort into writing and creating music. However, in today’s world, a successful songwriter is hardly ever just a songwriter. Unless they have a sizable budget, they likely have to know how to engineer and master their music, distribute their music, create videos for their music and manage multiple types of social accounts to gain visibility amongst the seemingly endless field of other musicians.
What are your interests outside of music?
When I’m not creating music, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, hanging with friends, traveling, hiking, and exploring the city and surrounding area that I live in.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
Unfortunately, music still isn’t a career. So in my other life, I am a graphic designer and marketing consultant. However, if I could have a do-over and choose a different career (if music wasn’t an option), I’d look into architecture, cartography, or horticulture. Actually, a well-paid travel blogger would be pretty awesome too.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
I touched on this above, but I think trying to (or having to) take on as many roles as are necessary to create a reputable artist persona is an extremely challenging and daunting task, especially as I became a parent with a full-time job.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
Concert ticket pricing has gotten out of control. I find that even when wanting to go see my favorite artists, I am second guessing buying tickets due to cost.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
The song To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra blows my mind every time I hear it, and I knew when first listening to it that I had to create my own version. The original features piano and vocals, and by changing that over to an acoustic guitar and creating a raw version felt like an interesting approach. When creating my version, I first recorded guitar and vocals, and then began to play around with bringing in strings to create a dramatic, cinematic feel as the song progresses.
Lyrically, the song reminds me of my father who passed away when I was 25, and how I continue to deal with the change in my world after living in the safe environment that he and my mother built for me and my brothers. It has been a very character building experience that makes me reflect on myself and the world I have created for others. Not only the physical spaces for my family, but the attention and love I give to them and those around me. That time is precious and limited.
What are your plans for the coming months?
I am planning on releasing my first solo album Selfie, which is a 10-song album that begins very pop/electronic heavy, and shifts to a more pop/alternative vibe before finishing off with a cinematic instrumental and a vulnerable, acoustic singer/songwriter closing song. Lyrically, the songs touch on the changing world, time, uncertainty and overcoming insecurity.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
I have been working with a friend, Tom Flowers, from a band called Oleander for the last three years. He has acted as a sort of mentor in pushing me to develop my writing and production skills. We reimagined one of his band’s hit songs, Why I’m Here, and may release it down the road. He has also provided vocals and vocal ideas for various tracks that are still in the works.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
I hope you enjoy the music I create, and hope you are inspired to share the music that you like with others, whether it’s what I have created or the creations of other artists. That is what helps our voices and music to be heard
