We Talk About Music

Taking the time out of his busy schedule to speak with us, we got the incredible opportunity to highlight Dominic DeLaney and his all new record, For Life. Hands down one of the most chaotic yet perfect representations of touring life, we spoke with Dominic DeLaney in-depth about his sophomore record, For Life. Taking place on a tour bus surrounded by a group of guys making memories for life, we dug into the album that so perfectly takes the form of acoustic punk rock with plenty of signature subtleties and essence infused by Dominic himself. It’s a conversation we’ll remember forever, but the real priority here is to get as many ears as possible on this rocker of a record. Don’t miss it!

Fresh off the release of their stellar debut EP Mushroom Flesh, we got the extra special opportunity to sit and speak with Animals Wearing Animals all about it.  Currently representing the music scene in Vancouver, British Columbia, Animals Wearing Animals are an indie rock band creating incredibly inspired and influenced music. On their debut EP Mushroom Flesh, they’ve literally left it all out on the table with soaring riffs, bombastic drums, and plenty of surprises that we’ll let you explore for yourselves. Of course, the cherry on top to our multiple listens was getting the chance to interview, so please, don’t miss out on a wonderful conversation.

Released last year, but still just as fantastic today, we got the opportunity to sit and speak for a full interview with George Bozigian to discuss his record, Beginnings. For those out of the loop, George Bozigian is a Detroit, Michigan based musician and multi-instrumentalist that finally took the time to culminate years of work into one superb debut album, Beginnings. Ranging in a wide variety of genres that span from Country to Rock to Americana and beyond, it was an absolute pleasure to hear the origin story of how this all came to be, George’s lifelong background in music, and even get a glimpse of what’s to come in the very near future. Without a doubt, we are highly recommending everyone both listen and watch our discussion.

Fresh off the release of her absolutely stellar debut EP Eighteen, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with the artist behind the music, Emilia Vaughn! Currently based out of San Diego, California, Emilia Vaughn is an alternative pop singer and songwriter who’s clearly put her all into the creation of her first ever record, Eighteen. Now the owner of her own independent music label, Emilia Vaughn Entertainment and Media Group, she’s shared her first ever piece that is filled with rich production, innovative composition, but ultimately led by her dynamic vocals that set the tone and raise the stakes for all future projects. We’ve loved our multiple listens and cannot wait for everyone out there to give this a spin.

With so much more music headed our way, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with Andrew Gharib of Desert Stranger and hear his compelling story.  For those out of the loop on Andrew Gharib, he’s no stranger to music in the slightest, but has ultimately shifted away from the band life in order to start his new solo project, Desert Stranger. While we did speak extensively on his single “Maybe I’m Blind”, thankfully he gave us all the information we needed to know surrounding his upcoming release (out Friday), the shapeshifting of his musical styles, and a glimpse into the future of where he might be headed. Without a doubt, it’s a conversation with an artist that we recommend you not miss out on.

With her debut record First Paige coming right around the corner, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with Paige Anne! Having now released a handful of singles like “Free”, “Snow” and more leading up to First Paige’s big release, getting to speak with Paige Anne was completely necessary in order to learn a little bit more about the origin of this record. As an aspiring Pop and R&B artist, Paige’s mission is to not only reinvent the genre that desperately needs a fresh look, but to give listeners a glimpse into her fruitful future as a staple artist within the genre. We love her music, but after getting to speak with her, we’re confident in her success going forward.

Making his return to the podcast, we got another wonderful opportunity to sit and speak with Mike Habhab, but this time to get the specifics on his single, “I Belong To You”. Exactly two months to the day since we last spoke to Mike Habhab all about “What You’ve Been Doing To Me”, you can only imagine our sincere delight to have this talented artist back on once again. This time we sat down for an in-depth talk to chat all about his latest “I Belong To You”, which is a lyrically rich and downright euphoric sounding song that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. If this happens to be your introduction to this artist’s music, you’ve found him at the perfect time.

Fresh off the release of her immensely vibrant and genre-bending EP Heartfear, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with Liz Van Gretsch all about the record. Currently representing the music scene in Sydney, Australia, Liz Van Gretsch is a singer, songwriter, and multi-talented performer who’s sincerely gone above and beyond in creating her EP, Heartfear. With the help of guitarist Peredur Ap Gwynedd (Pendulum), the two collaborators put their heart and soul into fulfilling the vision of creating something that transcends sound and actually breaks the mold of what listeners typically hear today. It takes on elements ranging from electronic to rock to synth-wave and keeps you guessing from beginning to end.

Fresh off the release of her latest single titled “Shouldn’t We”, we were lucky enough to get the chance to sit and speak with DESTIŃA all about the track!   For those out of the loop, DESTIŃA is a Spanglish pop artist currently representing the music scene in Nashville, Tennessee. Always aiming to switch things up and experiment with her sound, she effortlessly blended a ton of different genres and styles on her newest song, “Shouldn’t We”. Of course getting to talk to her all about it was the cherry on top to our multiple listens, but during our discussion, we got the opportunity to ask the tough questions regarding the song’s origins, the production, and what else might be on the way. It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss!

A little over a year to the day since we last spoke with Brooke Casey, but thankfully, she’s made a return with an outstanding new EP titled Playing Pretend. Gaining life experiences and penning them to beautiful music, Brooke Casey is back and better than ever with an all new EP that she’s titled Playing Pretend. Luckily for us, we got the opportunity to sit and speak with her again for an extended conversation that highlighted what exactly inspired this record, what she’s been up to over the past year, and so many more topics. If for some reason you’ve yet to explore her music, now’s the perfect time to do a deep dive on her growing discography.
