I try to incorporate fast and melodic flows n my shi so my shi can’t really get boring, you know?

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Mark Saunders May 16th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners The sound & texture of my music is EVERYDAY LIFE HUSTLER music. If you're someone applying themselves everyday to get more outta life, while making themselves uncomfortable in order to grow my music will resonate. The messaging is relatable to those pushing through the turmoil. Describe your creative process in the respective aspects of creativity. Whenever my name is attached to something its always highly intentional. I work on many projects at once and slowly nab away at them based on what's inspiring me most at that specific time. I try to cram in as many meanings & entendres into these spaces for sharp artistic execution. I want surface consumers to enjoy my lines yet I also want connoisseurs to have a moment to tap in with a artist they can tell cares about this shit just as much as them..... if not more then them...because of the layering that goes into my work Your album, “demoGRAPHIC II” is truly so impressive. How was that album created? What is your personal favorite track on that album? demoGRAPHIC II was initially a project I was going to release in 2019 then I scrapped the idea because I HATE SEQUELS I personally think they're corny & low hanging fruit for artist. I prefer artist to make new experiences opposed to forcefully creating a lightning in the bottle moment. Fast forward to 2021 I began working on a project and by mid 2024 I found myself in the exact circumstances + mindset that I was in when when I released the first 'demoGRAPHIC' back in 2018. It felt genuinely to my storyline as a artist to come out with 'dG2' A personal favorite, for me is “Silence of The Lambs”. Tell me the story behind that song. I've been rapping for 15 years, they say you aren't a master of your craft until you’ve put in 10,000 hours. Well, I've exceeded over 30k. Within my 15 years I'd say I'm on my 3rd life as a rapper. And I've experienced first hand people loving every little thing about you then later hating you for it. Silence of the lambs took me two full years to write and as I went through defeat that song became my direct journal. How’d you first get into making music? outta pure curiosity. I remember being a freshman in highschool listening to Lil Wayne 'the drought 3' on the bus on my way to school and instead of getting off at my stop I cut school writing raps over Wayne's vocals hahaa. Good times! Where do you find the inspiration to create music? First its my natural love for hip hop and mastering the technical mechanics to become one of the greatest emcee's ever. Secondly I've watched my entire family struggle. I view my talent as a vital tool to change the course of my bloodline. It sounds like alot to burden but as long as I sacrifice it'll be worth it. The work + work ethic will speak for itself Any new music soon? Anything you’d like to promote? Yeah, sure. This is the first time I'd be publicly announcing this. Im happy to be doing it on your platform. I grew up as a real student of rap music and being from New York I looked at PRO ERA as people similar in age who were dominating. In mid-June I'll be releasing 'DON'T TRIP' featuring Nyck Caution. There's a music video in the works as well. This has been a long time coming! Where do you find the inspiration to create music?

Westside Gunn, Ray Vaughn's New Album, Carti, Mixtape Lil' Wayne & alotta classic soulful R&B. There isn't much music in rap that's moved me. Other than music, what else have you been up to? I've been trying to get back on my feet financially. I fell on hard times in October '2024, I was fired from my job and in May 2025 I finally got a employment offer (part-time). Other than that my doctor gave me the unfortnate news, im prediabetic. As I was unemployed I was severely depressed eating comfort foods to feel better so the news makes sense. Since then I'm prioritizing my mental & physical health by working out & completely changing my diet.

resonance For this film I messaged and asked all my pals that were passionate about music to send in a voice memo talking a little bit about how music has impacted them. I edited the voice memos together and this is what was made! MISSED TRAIN This film was based on a true story that happened to my friend William Groninger (the main actor in this story). When he told me about his experience after missing the last train home in Grand Central, I knew I had to adapt it into a film. I am very proud of the sound design in this one. meet me here This music video was shot during two nights in the freezing cold oh my goodness it was awful. The music is awesome so it wasn't hard to be inspired. This was my first music video and I truly look forward to shooting more! KISS This film was shot in the freezing cold in december so thank you thank you thank you to William Groninger and Madisen Lora. This film taught me how careful you have to be when editing in order to preserve comedic timing. A Christmas Miracle A Masterpiece. La Haine Scene Recreation This was one of my first video projects ever. I made it really difficult for myself by shooting in a very reverberant bathroom so sound was pretty difficult.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Jordyn Tareaz May 30th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners I make pop diva music with alt and rock elements. Think big riffs, runs, powerful vocals, and catchy hooks, but also 808s, electric guitars, strings and synths. Describe your creative process I make my music at home doing the songwriting, producing, and engineering. My life is my muse so my art stems from what's happening in my own world. A lot of the time I'll just hear a melody in my head and a couple words or phrases within that melody. Once I have the basic melody or vibe of the song I'll make the chord progression and the skeleton of the beat. From there I’ll come up with the concept of the song and flesh out the rest of the hook and then the verses. Then I'll go back and finish the rest of the production. And after that I'll record final lead and background vocals in harmonies. Lots and lots of harmonies Your latest single, “Pressing Play” is very impressive. How was that song created? I made that song while studying at the Los Angeles Academy of Artists and Music Production. It's producer duos Stargates program. They've made songs Like Diamonds by Rihanna and Irreplaceable by Beyoncé two of my favorite artists and songs and their catalog. I attended the program last year on a full ride scholarship for production from Splice. Each week we were put in sessions and had to come up with a song. Oftentimes there was a theme for the week. I really don't remember what the theme was for the week that we made Pressing Play. I made it remotely with my co-writer Thea who’s based in London and my producer for the song and mixing/mastering engineer Colleen is based in Germany. I’m based in the US so it’s cool that the song was created in so many different places. I made a reference playlist with some of the vibes I was feeling sonically and Colleen came back with a couple of track ideas. I had never done anything that was dance pop/EDM inspired but still had an electric guitar leading the song so I was really drawn to the production of this track. Thea and I over a couple of days wrote the song, I recorded all the vocals, then Colleen finished up the production and the song. I remember the writing process taking longer than it usually takes for me. And at times we got really frustrated but I'm really glad we pushed through cuz I love the way the song turned out. How’d you first get into making music? I started performing and taking piano lessons at 2 years old so music has always been a part of my life. When I was 8 years old I performed in a talent show and my mom suggested that I should write my own song. The song was called Free To Be Me and I wrote the lyrics and a piano accompaniment to go with it. I got a really, really great reaction from the crowd and people were coming up to me all night about the song. I've been writing ever since. It wasn't until college in about 2020 when I started teaching myself to produce and record my own vocals. There's a real lack of female producers in the industry so that's a huge driving force for why I decided to learn. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? My life is my muse. Art can be found in even the mundane micro-moments of everyday. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten new music from you! Any new music soon? Yes! I have a song called Wild Woman coming out June 13th! I'm so excited because it's the start of a new era. I wrote, produced, recorded, and played all the instruments for the song by myself in my bedroom. The song is all about reclaiming your power and unleashing your truest self. What music have you been listening to recently? Been loving the artists Jade, Adela, Chxrry, and Jae Stephens. Would love to open for any of them in the future!
