  • Ep. 217 Andrew Moorer
    Show Notes Andrew Moorer is known to animate and enthrall audiences with unique arrangements and an engaging stage presence. Moorer began pursuing my career as a performer immediately after graduating high school in 2014 and has had the honor of sharing stages with artists such as Louis Knight, CADE, and Mike Posner. Combining classical routes and musical influences (including Bruno Mars, Elton John, Charlie Puth, John Mayer, and The Beatles), Moorer strives to bring enlightenment through his catchy original records and from wherever he performs.

  • Ep. 216 Miu Haiti
    Genre-bending singer-songwriter Miu Haiti draws her eclectic musical influences from Pop and R&B with a Hip-Hop edge. She was born and raised in Haiti but is now in the United States. Music has always been in her blood, being the daughter of a saxophonist. Miu Haiti is a renaissance woman - her versatile artistic expression is influenced by her love of fashion, makeup artistry, performing arts, and interior design. Her ability to compose music and sing in various languages (English, Creole, French, and Spanish) allows her to connect with a global audience. It has driven collaborations with arrangers, talents, and artists from Saint Lucia, Puerto Rico, Tanzania, the United States, Canada, France, and Haiti. Miu Haiti has remained prolific since her debut album, “Unexpected," in 2014. She has been featured in various media outlets. She has garnered a sizable fanbase with nearly 500,000 followers across social media platforms, and she has accumulated well over one million streams and views. Continuously evolving, 2022 saw the releases of her highly replayed song and music video, “In 'Em Face,” and the first-ever self-produced single, “Real Ones.” Her 2022 catalog was just a glimpse of what is on the horizon for 2023. Her latest single, “Is This Love,” shows a different side of the multifaceted talent yet and gives fans a taste of the quality and masterfulness that can be expected from her upcoming EP, slated to drop later this year.

  • Ep. 215 Elsie @elsieyalater

    Elsie, Born and raised in Kenya and moved to Pennsylvania. Attended Penn state university for neuroscience. After college, she moved to Seattle and started modeling and building her portfolio. Elsie’s launched her Only Fans page in 2021.

    There she would post boudoir photos until a recruiter reached out to her and introduced her to an adult entertainment agent.

    After shooting her first video with CastingcouchHD, Brazzers contracted Elsie as one of their exclusive performance artists.

    Navigating the adult film industry isn't easy for a Black woman but Elsie defined herself easier by not shooting interracial porn and promoting the sexual tenants of “Black Love”  “Which was why I lost my contract. Black love is important to me, and I want everything I do to reflect that."

  • Ep. 214 Andorra

    Andorra’s 2019 album Family Tree took itself very seriously. After successfully self-producing, mixing, and mastering their third full-length LP, the long-standing Philadelphia band found themselves exhausted and instantly misplacing energy on new projects. Members of Andorra went on to tour with Bright Eyes and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, joined local groups Box of Books and The Retinas, and jump-started classic rock cover bands. This gave Andorra a much-needed pause.

    As the rage from the pandemic slowed, Andorra picked back up where they left off and found that “thing” that contributed to 10+ years of relentlessly ripping through dive bars… having fun. The guys teamed up with musician Tommy Leahy of Wildflower Studios in Glenside, PA to produce their forthcoming swampy, Memphis-influenced rock record, Boogie Night Blues.

    “We rediscovered our love for this band. We didn’t nitpick or think too hard about arrangements. Anything that felt right, we just went for it. For the first time, we captured the energy of the live set onto an album. This one is raw, punchy, and will make you want to dance,” says lead singer Kevin McCall. From the Grease-flavored shuffle of pre-release single “Guts” to revved-up energy on “Hidden Desires”, Boogie Night Blues proves Andorra’s chemistry as a live act and their commitment to rock and roll, making it their best record yet.


    Andorra also recently released a documentary commemorating their first 10 years as a band directed by Mike Scioli, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJAW04_EqFs&ab_channel=andorramusic

  • Ep. 213 Ny Bell

    The facets of music and its ever-evolving nature have given rise to a new breed of artists and musicians. Ny Bell is a leader in the new school of contemporary artists and constantly pushes the envelope, reinventing herself and sound. Ny Bell, a multi-talented Artist, Vocal Arranger, and Songwriter born in Seattle, WA, and raised in Dallas, TX - is an artist that epitomizes the essence of the modern era and is making music that is thoughtful, conscious, and driven by a desire to inspire, spread love, and joy to all those that hear it.

    Born Nyiesha Bell, she began singing at the age of five, and by the age of 12, she discovered her innate ability to hear and write music. In 2008, she began her professional career as a background vocalist for artists like Fred Hammond and Koryn Hawthorne, to name a few. In 2017, she then spread her wings to pursue a solo career. Ny Bell has had a vast array of musical influences; however, she accredits the pivotal force in her music to Lalah Hathaway, Sade, Anita Baker, and Brandy. This varied spectrum of influence has led her to use her musical insight and ideas to create an original sound.

  • Ep. 212 Moonroof
    Moonroof started in a small college town called Bloomsburg. After graduating, they relocated to a suburb outside of Philly called Conshohocken. Their primary passion is crafting beautiful music for your lovely ears :)To keep things simple, Moonroof is an indie pop band, but our sound has evolved, and many different bands have inspired them. They've released many songs over the years that you can find wherever you listen online. Moonroof has played many fantastic shows, from local bars to the Radio 104.5 12th Birthday Show at the BB&T Pavilion. Moonroof’s  EP, Dream State, was released in October of 2021. Dream State debuted at #2 on the Alternative List on Apple's iTunes charts, right behind Coldplay. Moonroof has much more to come and is excited about what's to come in 2022. They released their single "Maybe Crazy" in August of 2022, with a music video in December, and their next single, "I'd Rather Be Alone," comes out in January 2023.

  • Ep. 207 Great Time
    Great Time doesn't want to fit in a box. Living up to their name, the band wants to have a great time making the music they like. Tired of being advised to "pick a lane" by some of their industry peers, Great Time sets out to create music that celebrates their wide-ranging sound, incorporating genres like synth-pop, electronic, jazz, punk, rock, and R&B.
    Their most recent releases are a series of EPs titled “Sounds Like ____.” The band had the idea to turn the EP titles into a Mad Libs type of game "so that someone could put their adjective or descriptor for the EP in the blank space," explains singer/multi-instrumentalist Jill Ryan. The projects explore some different sounds and styles influencing Great Time. “Some people thought [our 2018 debut LP] Great Album was all over the place, so with the ‘Sounds Like’ series, we decided to lean even further into our multi-genre tendencies and place the option of categorizing or putting us in a box on the listener.”
    True to their vision, each EP carries a different sound. On Vol. 1, Great Time creates a blissed-out atmosphere with R&B and neo-soul melodies. For Vol. 2, the band zones in on its electronic and pop influences, creating a livelier atmosphere that feels ripe for dancing. Whereas Vol. 3 shows a guitar-heavy, more traditionally rock-sounding side to the three-piece group, ranging from punk to acoustic folk.

  • Ep. 205 Phantasm
    Phantasm is a Philly-based heavy, alternative-rock band producing intricate, melodic songs in avant-garde stylings reminiscent of Muse, Royal Blood, Tool, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their latest single, Spirit Box (Tuned To You), is set to release Friday, June 10, 2022, on all major streaming platforms. The song was inspired by real-life experiences using a spirit box to connect with the metaphysical in this dimension and the world beyond. The device receives messages of spiritual entities woven through a musical pattern, emitting rhythmic bursts with distinct chopping and fragmented AM radio signals. Although experimenting with the gadget may have been the original inspiration for the song, Spirit Box (Tuned To You), is a metaphor and commentary on the digital age we live in today.
    Originally hailing from Western New York, Phantasm first hit the music scene in 2003 and later relocated to Philadelphia, PA. With onstage exploits, such as sampling their music live and using power tools as instruments, the band's explosive performance has taken innovation to a new level. They balance a sophisticated, avant-garde metal edge with a powerful, straightforward rock foundation. After releasing their last album, Phantasm has spent the last two years writing an album demonstrating their refined approach to a progressive 90's rock sound.
