    The Pal's X King Cruff Episode 223

     

    An introspective storyteller, UMC/Tuff Gong artist King Cruff explores the juxtapositions of human behaviour with energizing, innovative sounds that uplift and inspire for an ear-bending amalgam of Black musical styles. “I’m a big fan of songs that have one vibe but the lyrics tell a different story,” shares Cruff. Drawing on his own audio engineering background, he fuses genres across the diaspora including hip-hop, Afrobeats, dancehall and reggae into his original ‘punky’ sound. 

    Cruff's label debut single "Samurai Chop" landed him early recognition from various Canadian and international media outlets and streaming partners including being named one of Pandora's Artists To Watch Caribbean 2023.

    "Soufflé" is the second single and official music video to be released from King Cruff since signing with Universal Music Canada and Tuff Gong Collective – watch the official music video for “Soufflé” online.

  • Graham Scott Fleming talks about leaving his small town to be on Broadway and his rise in the country music scene

    The Pal's X Graham Scott Fleming Episode 222


    While beginning to craft his unique sound in the country genre, Graham found an incredible career in Broadway, landing the lead role of Charlie in “Kinky Boots,” and working directly with Cindy Lauper. He soon moved to NYC to fully emerge himself in his broadway career, which led to an international tour with “Hair” and performing at the Tony Awards. Growing up in Elmvale, ON, Graham would have no idea when he won a local singing contest in high school that music and performance would become such an internal part of his life.

    Following his Broadway run, Graham returned home in 2020 and continued to pursue a solo career in the genre that raised him. After earning a Top 40 single at country radio as an independent artist with the release of “Better Man,” he signed a record deal with Open Road Recordings and RGK Entertainment in 2022. Having written with some of Canada’s most promising songwriters such as Robyn Ottolini, Lydia Sutherland, and Vanessa Marie Carter, and opening for Canadian country legacy acts such as High Valley, Deric Ruttan, and Aaron Pritchett, Graham’s music has received major play listing placements such as Apple Music's Country Risers, Canada’s Country, Trailblazers, and Country Wide, Amazon Music's Country Hits and Just North of Nashville, YouTube Music's Country Now and Canadian Country Moment and Spotify's Fresh Finds Country.

    One of the most promising new voices in country, Graham Scott Fleming is only getting started. With more new music on the horizon and making his Boots & Hearts debut on August 12.
