We Talk About Music

Previewing the release of his single and music video for “Outlaw”, Marc Oliver dropped in for a riveting discussion on its background. For those somehow unfamiliar with the work of Marc Oliver, he’s been inundated with the music industry for over 25 years at this point. As a singer, songwriter, and so much more, this San Diego-based artist has quite the release schedule ahead of him, but is planning to lead things off with a genre-blended single titled “Outlaw” and a wonderful music video to accompany it. Our chat with Marc served as the perfect intro to his many accomplishments and to hear about what else is on the way.

Released officially in 2020, but still as fantastic today, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with Mike Habhab all about his single, "What You've Been Doing to Me". Bordering on country and rock, Mike Habhab had a bit of help putting "What You've Been Doing to Me" from Producer and Engineer Chuck Alkazian, plus Zach Radcliff on the vocals. Written by Mike himself, ultimately he’s putting himself on the line and opening up to his personal experiences through vivid lyricism. Additionally, this song is a part of a full EP of tunes titled A Music Collection that we highly recommend you check out in full as well.

Back again with another genre-bending track titled “Insomnia”, we got the incredible opportunity to sit and speak with Oren Weizman of music collective, Rouse the Boroughs. Meeting up and collaborating from all corners of the world, Rouse the Boroughs is a music collective that has featured Oren Weizman, Huong Su, Martin Kutnar, Robin Chionna and Cameron Black. On their latest song “Insomnia”, the group has shown once more that they’re not holding themselves to a specific genre, rather feeling out the tune and molding to the tone. During our in-depth discussion with Oren, we learned the in’s and out’s of how the collective operates, what’s on the horizon, and their super interesting recording process.

Fresh off the release of his 7th full length record titled Dandelye, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with Saun Santipreecha for a full breakdown of the album. Originally from Thailand, Saun Santipreecha is an immensely talented sound artist and electroacoustic composer who has legitimately created something like we’ve never experienced before. On his newest album Dandelye, the artist immerses the listener through 35+ minutes of intense soundscapes, ASMR-esque moments, and a sound production that’s almost difficult to put into words. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our listen and can’t wait for everyone out there to give this a spin and to check out our discussion.

Giving the world another piece of art that follows up her debut album, Samantha Leon dropped in for a full interview to discuss the intricacies of her newest EP, Mystic Lady. For those out of the loop, Samantha Leon is a singer, songwriter, and New York-native that delicately put together her personal life experiences into an outstanding EP she’s titled Mystic Lady. Luckily for us, we got the chance to sit and speak with Samantha in order to cover the background of the record, its recording process, what else is on the way, and a variety of other topics. Varied in sound, style, and genre, the artist has completely nailed it on her long awaited follow up, which is why we’ve got to overwhelmingly recommend a listen for all.

Staying incredibly prolific in his releases, Dyl4n Wood has dropped an all new one titled “Angel Wings”! Luckily for us, we got the opportunity to sit and speak with the artist to hear all about it. Currently representing the San Diego music scene, Dylan Wood is a 21 year old artist who’s making music that’s jam-packed with passion, emotion, and always aiming to highlight his personal experience. His newest song is called “Angel Wings” and it’s got a Hip Hop base to it that will undoubtedly make you want to come back for more. Of course getting to speak to him was the cherry on top of our listening experience, so we sincerely hope you take the time to give it a spin.

Fresh off the release of her second overall single titled “Last Generation”, we got the wonderful opportunity to sit and speak with the artist behind the music, Lauren Minear. Raised in Nashville but now based out of New York, Lauren Minear has just shared a seriously heartfelt and meaningful new song called “Last Generation”. Co-written by Lauren and Cristal Barrera, with help on the production from The Online Recording Studio, the final result of this song has turned into this atmospheric and slightly minimalistic listen, with a real emphasis on the lyricism. We got into it with Lauren on the background of the song and sincerely can’t wait for everyone to enjoy our discussion.

Laying it all out for us and providing a much needed background on his project C0D3 7’s record titled 7, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak in-depth with Cody Steinmann. Currently based out of Wisconsin, Cody Steinmann is more than just your average musician on the surface. While we did talk all about his project C0D3 7’s record, he’s part of so many other groups in addition to his teaching. You may recognize him from Cody Steinmann Trio, Sightless Quartet, Cody Steinmann Band, The Session, and many more. In this case though, we broke down 7, an extremely versatile and genre-bending record that has simply taken us by hold. If this is your introduction to the artist and any iteration of his music, we’ve found it to be an ideal jumping off point.

Fresh off the release of her latest single, we caught up with Sasha Anne to talk about “Catch Me I’m Falling” and all of its soon to be released iterations. As an actress, singer, influencer, and certified makeup artist, Sasha Anne is solidifying herself in the Los Angeles scene as a jack of all trades. In this scenario though, she’s just shared an outstanding cover of “Catch Me I’m Falling”, which is also set to be followed up with a whopping 10 different remixes by notable DJ’s and producers within the music industry. We were particularly partial to the original cover, but she’s serving up something for everyone, and getting to speak with Sasha was the real cherry on top to the perfect insight inside her burgeoning career.

Fresh off the release of his latest single “It’s Always Been You”, we got the special opportunity to speak with Sidney Riley all about the in’s and out’s of the track. Written as a love letter to his new wife Valerie, Sidney Riley’s “It’s Always Been You” is an extremely heartfelt yet immensely catchy song that’s a winner from start to finish. Originally debuted and revealed to his wife on their wedding day, it’s a love-based ballad that’s taken inspiration directly from some of the greats like The Righteous Brothers and Elvis Presley. Of course getting to speak directly with Sidney was the cherry on top to an already incredible song, which is why we’re recommending you check out both as soon as possible.
