What is your real name?
Nichole McCulloch

What’s your official showbiz name?
Sadie Nix

How did you get into music?
I have always been into music since I was little, both writing and singing. The first band I was in when I was around 7, was with my friend, and we called it “Mixed Colors.” We used to dance and sing along to Janet Jackson and En Vouge, but funnily enough, we were never signed to a deal. However, it wasn’t until I was 33 that I picked up the guitar for the first time, and it wasn’t until a few years later that I really started to write again.

Sadie Nix Looking All Sassy On Her Debut Single “Taylor Case” (That Means You) (2)

What field or genre are you into, and how would you describe it?
I categorize music into two categories: music that moves and music that does not. and this will be different for everyone. When someone says they don’t like, for example, “country” music, I find it so hard to believe you can write off an entire genre of music. I want music to make me dance, cry, and get excited about going out, and if it does that, then it is good music for me. The great thing is that those feelings are different for everyone, which is the exciting part of the music.

Do you have any role models you admire? Why the reason(s)?
There are so many people out there doing amazing things, but women who are writing, producing, and owning their images really inspire me. Artists like Carly Pearce, Taylor Swift, and Phoebe Bridgers.

They are putting out songs that tell stories that mean something to their fans and themselves. Then looking to the past, women like Dolly Parton, Carole King, Blondie, Pattie Smith, Annie Lenox, and Madonna are examples of women who have paved the way.

What do you look out for in this line of business?
Authenticity is it for me.

What are some of the challenges you face in your career path?
The biggest challenge is having a full-time job in addition to putting out and marketing music. Unfortunately, independent artists have a hard time generating income in this climate, so in order to be able to put out my music, it is essential, at least for now, to be working.

The other thing is that marketing has changed so much. I am terrible at social media, and things like micro-content and Instagram marketing strategies take my time away from creating music.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
I think it has had both a positive and negative impact. On the upside, more people are able to put out amazing music without having to have a deal or afford studio time, and that is amazing.

But about 60,000 songs are added to Spotify every day, making the competition tougher than ever. It has also made music easier to get rid of. The focus is on singles, not albums, short songs to fit TikTok; and the journey of discovering new artists is sometimes more focused on how many social media followers you have than on the quality of the music itself.

Do you have any advice for aspiring songwriters?
Just do it. The biggest thing I have struggled with. I’m still struggling with trying to write a perfect song, not just a song.

If you try to write a hit every time you sit down, you will never write. Write every day, even if it is bad, doesn’t make sense, or you don’t want anyone else to hear it. Perfection is not attainable, and thank God because perfect is boring!!

What is the topic of your current project?
I think this project is a reflection on previous relationships from when I was younger, thinking retrospectively about them with a more mature lens. I won’t lie, it isn’t the happiest of records, but in many ways, it is freeing because, when you are in the middle of these life events where you feel you can’t breathe and you will never surface for air, knowing that it will be ok in the end, allows a different perspective when you are writing.

What are your hobbies?
Funnily enough, I love going to gigs and listening to new artists. I also love sports, both playing and watching!

What do you do aside from this profession?
I run my own business as my full-time job and am a happy mother to three cats.

What is one message you would give to your fans?
“It’s never too late for now.” Sorry for the bad “30 Rock” reference. In all seriousness, the message is sound. I sat on my dream of writing and performing our music for nearly 25 years because I thought I hadn’t earned the right to do it or it was too late for me.

It took a global pandemic to wake me up, which is crazy. I hope that no matter what your dreams or desires in life are, it doesn’t take another global pandemic for you to realize them. Life is far too short to not do what makes you happy.

As a German-born singer/songwriter, Felicita Lu currently makes her home in Vienna, Austria. As a professional singer, she is 26 years old and has been in the business since she was 16.

Since the finals of the RTL talent show “Rising Star” in 2014 and the finals of the German preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017 and 2022, she has been working on and releasing her own original music. Both of these competitions took place in Germany.

When it comes to music in all of its genres, Felicia Lu is a multi-talented musician. She also sings, writes songs, and produces music, and she can play a number of instruments.

The young woman, who is now 26 years old, is a multi-talented musician who not only composes and performs her own music but also conceptualizes and visualizes it in her music videos and album cover art.

On Spotify alone, Felicia’s music has listened to more than 10 million times; already, her songs “Pay” and “Anxiety” both have more than a million listens. Her songs are also well-received on the radio.

In Austria, she gained power play on the biggest radio station in the nation, and her most recent hits, “Anxiety,” “In Your Hands,” and “Dear Karma,” were played on the top radio stations in Germany.

The lyrics of the song recount the narrative of a breakup between two people, in which one of them has been duped by the other, and the other is walking away from the relationship, “wishing them well,” which may be seen as a sort of sarcastic statement.

After having been performed in the German Eurovision preliminary, this is going to be the first release of the song.

What is your real name?
Clifford Reeves

What’s your official Stage Name (showbiz name)?
Clifford

How did you get into what you do with music?
I was in my first band by 13 where I played the drums and sang. Music and languages seem to go hand in hand so I studied French and Arabic in School. During this time I continued with my music performing at school events.

Due to my fluency languages became other people’s focus on me and I was sought after to do clandestine work. Crazy! Then I injured my Achilles heel and was laid up for 13 months. Unable to do much, I began a Twitch channel.

Other than playing games I sang covers for people. Eventually, I found all my followers tuning in to the music more than the gaming and it became clear music was my future. And here I am.

What field or genre are you into and give a brief description?
I genre blend. My music is a mix of various styles like Indie, Pop, R&B, Synth, Singer/songwriter, Commercial, House, and Classical. As each song’s story evolves I choose the genres most suited to tell that story.

Due to my language studies, cultural influences are also prevalent in my music. I write about social issues and other times I write about love. But mostly I write about whatever truths I feel I need to express.

What were your first project and the people you worked with and which year?
Thus far I’ve worked alone on my music. I write, produce and perform all of it myself.

I have collaborated with a few people, including a Grammy award winner, but as it was early days in my music career when Covid began, it has been tough for me to expand beyond myself. But hopefully, that’s changing.

How many projects do you have so far?
Countless! Haha! I’m never at a loss when it comes to creative musical projects. As far as the business side I’ve got some exciting prospects brewing.

What motivates me are the countless musical possibilities. Once I realized I didn’t have to stick with any one genre the sky opened up to me and I’ve never looked back. As for who, definitely my family.

Any models you look up to? [With reason(s) why]?
I grew up listening to anything from Mozart to Bowie, then from Cash to Eminem in my teens. Once I began learning languages, my music listening expanded to Fairouz, Stromae, Amr Diab, Yo-Yo Ma and so many others.

These amazing artists have created an explosion of music diversity in my head that I can’t help but include in my music arrangements. Other influences include The Temptations, Jerome Brailey, Blind Willie Johnson, Drake, Kool & The Gang, Parliament, and xxxTentacion.

What do you look out for in this business or what do you look out for in this line of business?
I just left Spotify so I guess what I’m looking out for are solid opportunities where I can be creative and enjoy sustainability as well.

What is your current project about?
I work on several at a time, so as far as the song after “Close to Me”…who knows haha.

I love to cook! Particularly Italian but all types of cuisines. I treat cooking like my music, I use it as a way to challenge myself and explore.

What do you do aside from this profession?
I live on a farm that has its share of responsibilities. Aside from that, I try to stay fit through callisthenics and boxing. I love video games and I dabble in photography.

Restless Modern Preaches On "Old Haunts" Off His Latest EP

Taken off his forthcoming “A Likeness Complicit” EP is “Old Haunts” as Restless Modern intends to convey self-responsibility and an uneasy desire for self.

He talks about how we as people live in a damaged world, and collective self-reflection reveals that we are all culpable in some way.

It’s quite easy to lay the fault on others, but it’s more challenging to look in the mirror and use the same criteria realistically and many things he seeks to address in this song.

Restless brings unique energy into this tune and to make it better is his confidence level and how he conveys his emotions.

Restless Modern is a 25-year-old Wisconsin-based producer, vocalist, and songwriter. Born in Denver, but reared in the Midwest near Chicago.

Restless Modern polished his abilities and built a distinct vision for his artist project over the course of a year by releasing over 30 tracks commercially.

Restless Modern’s signature is an instinctive blend of controlled anarchy, sharp lyrical wit, stunningly gorgeous sonics, and approachability that contradicts his music’s genuine and profound content.

Theo Tams Has His “Tongue Tied” To This New Single

Theo Tams Has His "Tongue Tied" To This New Single

Theo Tams, a singer and composer from Canada, recently released a new single that he calls “Tongue Tied.”

Tams and his boyfriend broke the news to their families that they were engaged, but they were not overjoyed by the news. As a result, Tams and his boyfriend’s family gave birth to this light and airy pop music with R&B overtones.

The exuberance that Theo displays in this song demonstrates that he has it all, particularly in terms of how much control he has over his voice and how much force it carries.

On his recently released extended play (EP), the Canadian singer-songwriter displays a stunning command of R&B-tinged pop music, with his silky voice serving as the unchanging beacon of light.

His composition is still at the forefront of this new pop style, but he is peeling away layers in novel ways. The listener is led through velvety landscapes by his slender voice, while the music drowns the senses with its abundance of intimate lyricism and beauty.

Theo Tams appears to have arrived at his destination in life because he is no longer ashamed to be himself in public. In the meantime, my best wishes go out to him!

We all get into situations where the energy we give off isn’t reciprocated which eventually makes us feel left out and Ethan says that same story in this song.

He sings about how a lady does not cherish a man as much as he needs, and that that is getting him fragile, and all appears strange.

The man begins to recall all of their greatest fantasies, both those that turned out to be true and those that they had intended for the long term.

One way or the other you can surely relate to the song and if you actually do then this is the song for you. Make it yours!

Ethan Gontar is an Israeli musician and producer who specializes in recording covers and original songs in the acoustic folk and electro-pop genres.

Lea Baruffato Opens Up About His Music Career And Discloses New Single “Die This Way”

Lea Baruffato was born in Argentina to an Italian father and an Argentinian mother. He then travelled to Spain and then to London, UK.

He began playing the guitar in his hometown of Argentina, inspired mostly by British and American bands. Later, he became interested in singing as well, so he chose to take lessons with several vocal instructors, establishing a distinct and unique style as a result of his heritage and travels.

Always on the go, he creates songs about his life experiences with the hopes of affecting people’s spirits.

Read on as he takes us on this magnificent trip while also providing us with an in-depth look at his most recent music.

How did you get into music?
Oh, that is a story! I was probably around 8 years old and I had an older cousin that used to live at my grandma’s and he was a guitarist.

So, every time I was going to visit her I was sneaking into my cousin’s bedroom and grabbing his guitar. I was captivated by the sound so I guess that is when I fell in love with music.

What field or genre are you into and how would you describe it?
I would say, I’m into acoustic pop/rock

What were your first project and the people you worked with?
The first band that I got involved with was in my hometown and I used to be the bass player for them! That is how I started

What are some of the challenges you face in your career path?
Music, by itself, is beautiful, the music business is something completely different. Is one of the most competitive industries in the world and can be really hard to make a living out of it.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
I believe that gave a big opportunity to everyone who wants to express by creating music which is amazing but with 60.000 songs being uploaded to Spotify a day makes the market over-saturated.

Do you have any advice for aspiring songwriters?
Probably the best advice I got from a mentor was “Write from your heart” and I have been sticking to that

What is your current project about?
I’m working on an album that I’ve started to release single after single since January. Hopefully, 2022 is gonna be full of new music for me!

What are your hobbies?
I do enjoy the gym, motorbikes, water sports and travelling!

What is one message you would give to your fans?
I always try to share a message in each song that I write, so I would say, give listen to my songs and hopefully you will get inspired by one or more!

Timebelle Adds Her Voice To The Ongoing War With ’96

Sensational Switzerland singer, Timebelle has dished out this new song she tags ’96 where she adds her voice to the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war.

96 is the story of a young boy who grows up and struggles to find his place in the wide, terrifying world.

It’s a strange world to him, full of restrictions and pressures that push him to ignore himself and accept trivial, worldly ideals which had nothing to do with him.

She actually wrote this song with Runa and produced by Andy Platon and Runa says that “‘96 is not a year chosen randomly, it is the year in which Ukraine gave up the last nuclear warhead in exchange for Russia’s promise of never attacking Ukraine. The betrayed adult, who now lives in the real world, where people are constantly hurting and betraying each other, wants to go back in time to correct this mistake made in ’96, which today created this apocalyptic scenario”

Timebelle followed up with a music video directed by Leonid Cojocaru which continues the same storyline of a planet that has come to an end, devastated by humanity, which can have such a devastating component at times.

Timebelle considers that music has the power to heal, and with their new single “’96,” they hope to not only heal souls but also provide monetary assistance to individuals who have had to leave their homes, lives, and all behind. All proceeds from the song ’96 ‘will be given to Ukrainian refugees.

Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single “Close Your Eyes”

Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single "Close Your Eyes"
Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single "Close Your Eyes"

Bekim! He was born in 1970 to Kosovo Albanian parents. Originally from Germany. He was a child when he first realised how much he loved music. Bekim! purchased albums and hoped to one day be a musician.

Bekim! started creating rap rhymes and making tape bootlegs in high school. As soon as he graduated from high school, he built up his recording studio and taught himself how to play harmony and the piano.

In 1989, that was the year. Early on, he was creating all of his music. Composer, songwriter, producer, arranger, and engineer—he’s done it all.

Let’s have a read of what he has to say about his journey to becoming a musician and listening to “Close Your Eyes” for the first time.

What is your real name?
Bekim Bytyqi

What’s your official showbiz name?
Bekim!

How did you get into music?
As a child, I always listened to music. At that time, it was still vinyl records and music cassettes. Then later, CDs.

As a teenager, I mixed cassettes and eventually started writing my lyrics and rapping on them. Shortly thereafter, I bought my first keyboard, a Kawaii, and a short time later, a drum machine from Yamaha. That’s how it all started.

What field or genre are you into, and how would you describe it?
Definitely music production. I love R&B, especially 90s and 00s R&B and a little bit of hip-hop, dance, and even 50s and 60s rockabilly and 80s pop.

What were your first projects, the people you worked with, and which year?
My first project was back in 1989 when I set up my studio. In the beginning, I worked alone. Then my younger brother came along. We taught ourselves everything autodidactically. I’ve always been interested in the production and structure of a song, and that’s how I got into producing.

Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single "Close Your Eyes"
Bekim! Reveals His Life Story As He Unveils His Latest Single Close Your Eyes

Who or what inspires or motivates you? And why?
Many producers and musicians inspire me. For example, Dr. Dre for his beats, Hot Chocolate for their melodies, and Boyz II Men for their vocals.

I also love to listen to Lemar, Beverly Knight, Mario, Jodeci, Meghan Trainor, and Charlie Puth, to name a few. Apart from music, I love watching series on Netflix.

Any models you look up to? With reason(s), why?
Sure, Dr. Dre, Mike Oldfield, Babyface, and Darkchild

What do you look out for in this line of business?
I want to make my dream come true. Even as a child and teenager, I could predict with great accuracy which song would be a hit. And that’s what I want to do with my songs now. I want as many people as possible to enjoy my music and feel something beautiful about it. I want them to experience the same positive emotions that I felt when I composed it.

What are some of the challenges you face in your career path?
It’s not enough to have good music. Nowadays, you have to be creative to cut through the noise. You are supposed to be online 24/7 and active on social

A musician or producer would only sit in his studio and produce songs in a perfect world. But that’s not the way it is. The promotion side is way more time-consuming than the creative process.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
It’s easier to be successful as a musician these days. In the past, there were always these gatekeepers who, to be honest, in my opinion, didn’t always have a great idea about music.

Today, you can take it into your own hands and market your music. This is a great advantage of the Internet.

Do you have any advice for aspiring songwriters?
Just be yourself. Feel free to do your own thing. Find your sound, even when it doesn’t sound like the stuff in the charts. Stand by your sound.

What is your current project about?
My current project, ‘Bekim!’ is about producing timeless R&B and pop R&B songs. I work with different vocalists from all around the world.

What are your hobbies?
Music. But also sports like football (soccer) and basketball.

What do you do aside from this profession?
I am an interpreter by profession. But I hope that soon I can only concentrate on the music.

What is one message you would give to your fans?
Thank you, because without you, none of this would be possible.

If you hold on to your dream you will eventually make it. Just don’t give up.

Sam Tompkins Releases ‘Who Do You Pray To’ EP Alongside Emotive Visuals For New Single ‘My Brother’

Today, one of the British male musicians with the most rapid ascent in 2022, Sam Tompkins, releases an EP titled “who do you pray to” coupled with evocative graphics for his newest track “My Brother.”

Sam Tompkins is a force to be reckoned with. As a result of his own critically acclaimed singles, the TikTok trending collaboration with Jnr Choi titled “To The Moon,” a string of viral videos including impressive covers shared via TikTok, and grass-roots touring, he has accumulated over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify and amassed a massive online audience that has grown exponentially over the course of the past year.

He is sometimes likened to Sam Fender’s anthemic truth-seeking or Tom Walker’s revelatory autobiography due to the fact that he matches pop touches to a classic vibe in his music. Nevertheless, Sam’s work is completely independent and is already reaching dizzying heights.

His music goes to great depths, delves into the core themes of his life, and articulates feelings that we all experience but sometimes have trouble putting into words.

There is a true army of TikTok fans marching with him, and Sam has amassed over a half million followers on Instagram – that’s more than some highly renowned musicians. Such a wide range of support just symbolises his fanbase as a whole.

In point of fact, he already has more followers on Instagram than some of the winners at the BRITs from the previous year.

Emmrose is an eighteen-year-old composer who began her career four years ago in math class when she composed her first pop song.

Don’t Forget To Breathe When Listening To Mad Nad Bo’s “To Matt”

Don’t Forget To Breathe When Listening To Mad Nad Bo’s “To Matt”

After a 4-year break, Mad Nad Bo makes her presence known once again with her new song “To Matt”. “To Matt” is the first of several new tracks to be released in the near future.

The first note she hits throws you into an emotional whirlwind of heartbreak, rage, and sheer despair.

Not only does vocalist Nadine Schwizer’s distinct vocals captivate your attention, but so does Sandro Jordan’s guitar, which expresses just as many emotions.

You can tell that these two don’t merely synchronize in music. In a bluesy and emotive style, Mad Nad Bo’s new song “To Matt” depicts the narrative of an unpleasant sort-of relationship.

It’s a story with no happy ending, as many of us have known. But the song is more than just a narrative about being hurt; it’s also a message of empowerment.

The man who harmed front lady Nad is recognized and shamed – – “not more nor less than he deserves”, Nad adds with a mischievous grin.

“To Matt” is a big “F*** YOU” to the guy who caused her anguish, but also to the agony and sadness itself.

The song depicts the narrative of someone who has been injured but is now better off than before; it’s almost as if you’re suffering through Nad’s pain with her, just to feel better about it all afterward.

Since the release of Mad Nad Bo’s EP “Things Left Unsaid” in late 2017, things have been quiet around the singer and songwriter and her better half in music and in life, Sandro Jordan.

“I’m looking back at four years of work and just life coming in between all things musical”, Nad says. “But that doesn’t mean there were no new stories (or songs!) written during that time. Now it’s time for those to get out there and be told!”, she continues.

Nadine Schwizer, the band’s frontwoman and main songwriter, draws inspiration from her daily life, such as assisting young artists as part of the Swiss music competition “bandXost,” where she works as a project manager.

“My young colleagues and their motivation have made me want to become more active and release new music again, so that’s what I’m doing now!”, says Nad.

Mad Nad Bo is the first band fronted by Nadine Schwizer, alias Nad, a singer-songwriter. She is an old soul, a thinker, and her distinctive voice and heartfelt melodies never fail to stun.

Sandro Jordan on guitar and alternating band members on bass and percussion accompany her vocal melodies.

She wanted to be authentic to the original while still injecting her own personality into it.  They created the song’s distinctive piano melody on a French Connection analog synth, then added Moog bass, strings, and electric guitar to give character and emotion.

This is certainly one you should pay attention to. It is such a feel-good song!

Her music, which is influenced by artists such as Birdy, Aurora, Maggie Rogers, Coeur De Pirate, Regina Spektor, Shara Nova of My Brightest Diamond, and Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes, layers introspective, offbeat lyrics and delicate vocals over a dreamy blend of indie pop, electronica, and indie folk.

She began playing the French horn in middle school band class after taking piano lessons and proceeded to high school.

She cultivated her sense of melody by singing the lyrics of cookbook recipes as her father played acoustic guitar.

If you actually listen to Sofi, you will hear a lady fearlessly, hesitantly, but honestly embracing and confronting life expressed in an intimate yet generic way.

Lola Regenthal Calls Up Mike Stern For “Letter To Dad”

Lola Regenthal Calls Up Mike Stern For “Letter To Dad”

Swedish singer and songwriter, Lola Regenthal has finally unleashed her newest single “Letter To Dad” and she taps Mike Stern on this.

The jazzy singer-songwriter’s enveloping voice with amazing depth is combined with enticing tones from Mike Stern, one of the world’s leading guitarists.

Lola sings directly to her loving father in “Letter to Dad,” who unfortunately died after a long fight with illness.

With her flowing words, she focuses on the tiny things in everyday life that may elicit such strong memories of the people we care about the most.

Lola Regenthal is a Swedish songbird from the northern part of the country who traveled to the jazz capital of New York and achieved remarkable success.

Acclaimed performances at iconic venues like as The Bitter End, Metropolitan Room, and Shapeshifter Lab led to a deeper relationship with American jazz guitarist Mike Stern (Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Stan Getz, Michael Brecker, and others).

Mike and Lola remained in contact after she returned to Sweden to be with her family during her father’s sickness. Lola’s father was also a musician who was much influenced by Stern’s music.

Because of Lola’s relationship with Mike, her father was able to speak with his idol on the phone on multiple times, and they met via exciting chats about music. As a result, it was a simple option for Lola and Mike to collaborate on this homage to her father.

As said by her, “I wanted my dad’s song to feel just like the open landscape of Öland, where you can experience the tranquility and closeness to both nature and the sea. Therefore, the airy arrangement leaves a lot of room for both bigger sound and reflection. During Mike’s amazing solo, you can even hear a bird vaguely in the background that started singing outside the studio – I´m thinking it might have been Dad wanting to join in and play along with me and his friend. I hope my music can help us pause for a few minutes and reflect on the lovely things in life and cherish the fond memories we have of what has been lost. I wish that, just like with a movie, you listen through the whole song and allow yourself to really feel.”

The track is the first of four planned releases that will be included on an EP due out in 2022. The release of the CD heralds the beginning of a new chapter in Lola Regenthal’s musical career.

Lola had previously published the album “With You” on Seattle’s Origin Records, the EP “Bye Bye Baby” on Bergman recording, and has been on compilation albums in China.

And when I was 11 I decided to teach myself piano so I could write songs. And ever since then It’s been a huge part of me. And when I went on the journey at 17 years old to figure out what I believed and I decided I didn’t believe in God and didn’t wanna be religious anymore, I reevaluated everything and I found new purpose in my music and used it as an outlet for my feelings.”
