This and more were shared during the interview, Get the full interview below
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in my hobbies and surroundings. I think living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the United States, it provides lots of creative ambition.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
Music was always a huge part of my life growing up, I have five older siblings, and they always played me their favorite music, whether it was Led Zeppelin or Bob Dylan or Pearl jam and I was just obsessed with it all since I can remember.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
All of my siblings can sing, so that must have rubbed off on me.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
I just decided that a young age to pursue it. I started the band in middle school and we played at my 8th grade graduation. Been doing this a long time.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
My parents bought me an acoustic guitar when I was in 6th grade and some guitar lessons, and I never looked back.What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
My older brother Jordan took me to see The Rolling Stones when I was in middle school. At the Kingdome in Seattle, which sadly isn’t standing anymore. I wasn’t absolute awe. The show blew me away.
How could you describe your music?
My music has a definite summer vibe. It always comes out with an island vibe for one reason or another.
My music has a definite summer vibe.
Describe your creative process.
I’ll either have a melody in my head that just comes out of nowhere, or I’ll actually sit down with my guitar and decide to write a song, messing around with some different chord progressions and see what comes out.
What is your main inspiration?
My main inspiration is just knowing that I’m creating something out of nowhere. It’s really cool to think that if I write a song right now, that I’ve just created something that wasn’t there 5 minutes ago.
What musician do you admire most and why?
It’s a toss up between Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. They just keep trucking along and creating new music and not just playing their same ol’ tunes. They keep creating and putting new albums out.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
I think everyone’s style evolves, at least it should. I still have written lyrics from when I was 14 and it’s laughable. Definitely have lived some life since then.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
No competitor in music and no rules. That’s what I love about it. I create and write and sing what I want. Always.
What are your interests outside of music? I love anything that is summer involved. Surfing, paddle boarding, swimming.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing? Probably working at a record store.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? The biggest problem is just getting your name out there. The internet and streaming sites are great because anybody can release music, but that also floods the field and makes it harder for artists to stick out.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? Streaming services should pay more. There, I said it. Look at this way, people don’t pay one tenth of a penny for a print of a painting, or a movie ticket, but for some reason people don’t see music as a tangible thing, but it is. It is a product and should be paid accordingly. Musicians totally get screwed when it comes to streaming services.
What are your plans for the coming months?
My next couple months is just keep writing songs and playing shows, keep on creating.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans? No collaboration plans at the moment, but I have tons of musician friends and we’re always brainstorming for ways to do so.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
Thanks for listening, and I hope you dig my tunes!

Bronze Whale Talks About Their Relationship In The Music Industry In New Single 'On Fire'
In 2011, Bronze Whale made its debut in the music world, quickly gaining a reputation for making innovative and contemporary remixes.
Benny Alley and Aaron Jaques, who make up the pair, were able to swiftly establish a reputation for themselves in the industry by tackling several facets of the business on their own, such as handling their own artwork management, mixing and mastering, and marketing. Their perseverance and commitment paid off, as seen by the accolades they received as a result of their efforts.
In spite of this, the band came to the conclusion in 2018 that their music was lacking something. They were driven to discover new ways to express themselves via their love of singing and writing music, which resulted in the creation of a wholly original kind of music.
Because of the unique combination of Benny’s chill voice, parts of indie-electronic music, and hip-hop percussion, the listening experience was genuinely one of a kind.
The most recent song released by the band is titled “On Fire,” and it delves into the band’s path of self-discovery as well as the process of taking control of their profession. This CD focuses on their interactions with the music business, how they came to identify their own distinctive style, and how they took charge of their professional trajectory and their future. It is an album that demonstrates their development as musicians and shows how far they have come.
Aaron and Benny have been developing their abilities as independent artists over the course of the previous ten years. They have refined their abilities to make their own artwork, administer their own record label, mix and master their music, as well as generate video material and content for social media. They have also invested the time to educate themselves on the music business and the practices that are prevalent within it to the greatest extent that they possibly could.
Since they did not have the backing of a collective or record label, the pair had to put in a lot of hard effort to establish their own community and find musicians who could contribute to the development of their sound.
They had been operating on their own little island, struggling to make a name for themselves in the very cutthroat music industry. The battle that independent artists go through to make their imprint on the business is represented by the song “On Fire,” which acts as a metaphor for that fight.
The fact that Bronze Whale has been able to change and develop throughout the years is evidence of the band’s commitment to their profession. They have taken charge of their profession and developed their own signature style, which distinguishes them from other artists in their field.
They have shown, with the song “On Fire,” that they have what it takes to be successful in the continually shifting music business.

IMONI, who hails from Essex, is a great singer, songwriter, and composer. She just released her debut tune of 2023, and it is already creating ripples in the music world there.
The heartbreaking and gloomy alternative R&B track known as “Bloodline” is a song written by the artist about her older brother, who is presently doing time in prison.
The music video for “Bloodline” by IMONI was co-directed and co-edited by IMONI, and it does an excellent job of complementing the sad atmosphere of the song. The popularity of her last release, “Hypnotized,” which was issued in 2022, led to the success of this release.
IMONI stands apart from other R&B musicians competing in the UK market because of her own musical aesthetic. She is not hesitant to confront difficult topics such as the criminal justice system and social injustice, and she goes into deeper and darker issues that connect with her audience.
Mazza Wagwan and AJ Platinum did an outstanding job producing “Bloodline.” Mazza Wagwan served as the primary producer, while AJ Platinum was the co-producer on the project. AJ Platinum has collaborated with some of the most well-known artists in the UK music business, while Mazza Wagwan is most recognised for his contributions to the album titled “Drill.”
IMONI has accomplished a great deal in a very short period of time, as shown by the fact that her first song, “Money,” was highlighted on New Music Daily and that her tracks have been broadcast on BBC 1Xtra and Reprezent Radio. She has already made a name for herself as an up-and-coming independent artist, and it seems that her future will be much more successful.
IMONI is working on a number of new releases as well as self-directed graphics for 2023, and we can’t wait to hear and see more from her. We have high hopes for her in the next weeks and months as we believe that she is an artist in the UK music industry who deserves a lot of attention.

In 2017 Piperlain released the concept album ‘Mother Mourned’, which recounts the personal and emotional journey of two people growing up with and caring for mothers with serious illnesses.
Formed by singer/songwriters Benjamin Knight and Rebecca Voorn-Knight. Piperlain made the finals of the B&T Madweek Battle of the Bands where they received commendation from Sony on live performance and songwriting talent.
With Piperlain’s godlike writing skills and singing, they hit the road again with a new Ep titled ‘Shine On You’, although the Ep contains only 4 songs, Shine On You leaves with surreal emotions bursting out like a wildfire.
“The EP theme is being “lost and found”. experiencing loss of relationships and disillusionment from the pressures of social media, as well as lost during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Piperlain – Shine On You
‘I Feel the Sun’, is filled with positivity and combines acoustic beach vibes and folk elements with dreamy rock pop influences. It was inspired by coming out of the Covid-19 lockdown, when people could move around freely again, coming out of the height of the Covid-19 lockdown, finding inspiration again and being able to shine.
‘Shine on You’ and ‘I Don’t Miss You’ are about feeling loss, through a lost relationship and lost by the pressures of society. Feeling despondent about social media imagery that portrays a perfect life and body as well as disillusionment during the Covid-19 pandemic.
‘Bloom’ was inspired by people moving away from the city to rural areas following lockdown, rediscovering something special in nature as well as perhaps something forgotten in themselves, taking a chance and starting a new life. With its rhythmic percussive elements embraced by elegant piano, lofty honest vocals and themes of finding hope in a new place. Inspired by nature, as well as human nature.
The Piperlain sound has been compared to a contemporary version of The Cranberries and The Corrs with similarities to Sarah Blasko and Josh Pyke.
