YUP. WE BACK. SOLO DOLO YOLO

(can you tell I'm excited?)

New EP and video TONIGHT. In this episode I talk about the roll out for POWER, MONEY, FAME, SEX and where the inspiration for the title and concept came from.

I also touch on the insecurities that come with releasing music, the importance of deliberate practice, renting a hotel room in jersey for a video shoot, and what's in the chamber for the next few weeks.

Shout out to all the people who helped put these pieces together AND SHOUT OUT TO YOU FOR PEEPIN THIS!

Listen to the new EP below:

I don't know if there's anything I can put here that will come even remotely close to how dope this interview was.

But a man can try.

I met up with creator Zeek Burse and his writing partner/manager Paralee Knight at a coffee shop out in old city last week. We agreed the interview would be from 10:30-11:30.

We talked from 10:30-1:30. I couldn't squeeze the whole thing into one episode but I got as much fire in as possible. I didn't even realize we spoke for that long because I was having so much fun.

They drop some GEMS in here. Zeek talks about what it's like taking the leap to being a musician full-time, playing shows around the world, and Paralee gives some incredible insight on what it's like supporting an artist from the manager's side.

Don't take my word for it. Listen to this one.

Seriously, you can thank me later.

Zeek is currently at SXSW, and you can connect/check out his upcoming shows below. Enjoy!

Riding high off a compliment from a random girl on the train, Kia comes to you this week with some updates on recent interviews, upcoming music releases (march 16th whatup), and why PHL > NYC. Also, are strangers in the apartment? Maybe. But this was recently posted so obviously he made it out okay.

(Yes, it's still me typing this copy and I'm talking about myself in third person. Deal with it.)

Short and sweet this episode gives you an update on what's going on behind the scenes of the recent content, and a peek at Kia's consistent mental decline and imminent slide toward self immolation...

Enjoy!

Katie Feeney does it all. Not only is she the lead-singer and frontwoman of the funk-rock band You Do You, but she's also the Development Director for Rock to the Future, an organization that uses contemporary music education to help youth succeed in music, school, and life.

We met in a coffee shop on a windy afternoon to talk about what it was like growing up in Pennsyltucky, the positives/pitfalls of being the lead singer in a band, and how to balance your professional career with your art.

Katie was featured recently on BillyPenn.com as one of the 19 young pros creating the new Philadelphia sound and will be playing the Fillmore next Sunday, March 18th.
