She mentions, “everybody kept telling me I was crazy, but when people tell you that, it’s probably because you’re really up to something.” She describes the depth of sacrifice you have to make to pursue your passion, but “if you really want something, you should just go for it.”At an early age, Anabel’s primary school teacher noticed her powerful singing voice and pointed it out to her mother. Anabel shares that her family helped cultivate a path for her to explore her musical talents through concerts and performances throughout childhood. It wasn't until later when Anabel was fully invested in her dream, and the weight and reality of telling her mother, "No, Mom, I'm not gonna be a doctor; I'm gonna be a singer," truly sank in.When reality hit, it took her family some time to accept her decision. Although they initially joined the chorus of “you’re crazy for moving out of the country—and to NYC, no less,” they still show their support. Moving to the U.S. was no easy feat, which involves more than just cultural adjustment. Despite visa challenges and navigating how to work legitimately on her music and with management teams, Anabel remained undeterred and kept pushing forward.When asked to elaborate further on the challenges of breaking into the NYC music scene, she mentions having to create a name for yourself. It wasn’t just about adapting to a new culture; it was also trying to to keep up with the fast-pace lifestyle of New York City. With everything moving so quickly, you have to figure out your impact in a city full of hustle. Part of making her mark in NYC involved collaborating with artists like Bronx rapper Capella Gray, which gave her a platform to blend R&B, Hip Hop, and Afrobeat influences with her Spanish lyrics. This fusion of genres, driven by her cultural and musical background, creates a truly distinct sound. She also shared the realization of feeling like she was in it and really forging a path when she collaborated with Quimico Ultra Mega, a well-known Dominican rapper. Much of the collaborative and nomadic artistry of her pathway has helped propel her creations and develop the uniqueness of her sound.As she continues to explore her sound and open her heart, you can expect to hear the tenderness and fierceness of her love in her upcoming single "My Baby.”“Through thick and thin, you’re always gonna be my baby,” she shares about the message behind the track. While the song focuses on the good times and reveling in the best parts of being in love, it also casts the importance of being truly in it with someone, no matter the trials and tribulations. Love can be complicated, but it's worth the twists, turns, and growth. The upbeat nature of the song and pop influences make it perfect music to celebrate the sweetness of being in love.When asked what her favorite part of making this track was, she mentioned the opportunity for her to step out of her comfort zone and hit a new range of notes. She joked, “I will be the one to complain about something, while I’m doing it, but I’m still getting it done even though it’s hard.” She described the moment of realization— “Oh, I got this” when listening back over her recording and feeling the triumph of accomplishing something challenging and new. Between catchy and heart-stirring melodies, a new range of notes, and a fresh take on love, you can expect to hear “My Baby” on September 13th on all streaming platforms. Stay tuned on Anabel’s socials for the upcoming “My Baby” music video, and for more updates on upcoming releases!

https://www.michelledanner.comwww.allinfilms.com   Instagram michelledannerla  There aren’t many people who can point to a career full of success as a performer, teacher, storyteller, entrepreneur, and expert. But Michelle Danner can. The legendary acting teacher and founder of the Creative Center for the Arts and the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, Danner is also now well-established as a successful film director. Her last film,“Miranda’s Victim,” stars Abigail Breslin, Luke Wilson, Ryan Phillippe, Emily VanCamp, Mireille Enos, Enrique Murciano, Brent Sexton, Josh Bowman, Sebastian Quinn, Taryn Manning, Nolan Gould, Dan Lauria, Kyle MacLachlan, Andy Garcia and Donald Sutherland. The film tells the true story of Trish Weir (Breslin) who was kidnapped and brutally raped by Ernesto Miranda. The subsequent trials went all the way to the Supreme Court and led to creation of the Miranda Rights. Up next for Danner is the comedy romance film “The Italians,” which stars Matthew Daddario (Shadowhunters), Rob Estes (Silk Stalkings), Perrey Reeves (Entourage), David DeLuise (Wizards of Waverly Place), Olivia Luccardi (It Follows), Lainie Kazan (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), and Abigail Breslin (Zombieland, Little Miss Sunshine). The film is currently playing at festivals around the country. A dedicated mom of two (one is an aspiring filmmaker), Danner still has her “day job” – overseeing the faculty of the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, and conducting her weekly acting class. Michelle has worked privately with Christian Slater, Salma Hayek, Gerard Butler, Seth MacFarlane, Penelope Cruz, Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union, Zooey Deschanel, Henry Cavill, Isla Fisher and James Franco. A longtime student of legendary acting teachers like Stella Adler and Uta Hagen, Danner’s eclectic approach (which she calls “The Golden Box”) allows actors the freedom to employ a wide variety of techniques. Raised in a show business family and with a deep appreciation for all of the performing arts, Danner also continues to run the boutique “Cinema at the Edge” film festival and is currently preparing to direct a new one-person play, Bonnie Culver’s “Norris,” starring Anne Archer, based on the memoirs of the widow of writer Norman Mailer. Simply put, there’s almost no one in the business who knows as much about acting and success as Michelle Danner – and her continued success in multiple creative fields makes her one of the most successful women working in the industry today.

It comes from the four track, self-titled EP that wasreleased in March, and is intended on being a “stream vaccine” that everyone should go get adose of.“I want listeners to remember this song, and be like, this is a guy who covered a topic thataffected us all,” Regal Rapstar said. “This isn’t just like a regular rap song. It’s like a missile.This isn’t like throwing a firecracker. It’s like a serious potion. That’s for real.”The track starts with an ominous sounding intro and Regal Rapstar saying, “For those who don’tknow, corona means crown in Spanish. The crown virus.”“I’ve got the touch like MidasIt’s Regal Rapstar minus the coronavirus.”It continues: “You got the whole world going berserk, that’s why I want to see coronavirus deadin a hearse.”The beat for “F the Coronavirus” is all his, Regal Rapstar explained, but originally it wassupposed to be a sample of “New York, New York” by the Dogg Pound. Being a producer, he’sgot beats for days, and can pull them out of his back pocket like a magician. Instead of divinginto established old school tracks to pull from, he went for it with his own beat. Regal Rapstarcouldn’t be more pleased with his decision.“I said to myself, why am I going to sample an old beat? Why don’t I go with a crispy new beatinstead of an old vintage hook? That was what’s up.”Regal Rapstar was influenced by hip-hop in his late teens while living in Pasadena, California.He was listening to West Coast rap to start, but what really hit him was the Wu-Tang Clan.At first rapping was just an illusion, he said, and mostly involved just playing around andpracticing. Once he hit his early 20s, he realized that he needed proper production quality. Thisslowed down his career like a brick wall at first, but also led to him learning how to produce. Henever gave up, and once he was able to “put it all together like a sandwich,” that’s when hebegan recording and started his label Regal Records.“I was really good at it, and I knew I was really good at it,” he said. “Listening to a lot of albumsand material gave me more insight than the average person. I had all this data in my brain fromother artists, but I could mix it up and make my own thing. That’s what gave me that edge.”The music video for “F the Coronavirus” is on Youtube, and one that Regal Rapstar says ismuch more than just a video with some words and music.“It’s artistic with good quality production,” he said. “Every musician has it in their heart, and to behonest with you, videos are either hard to make or expensive. This one is real, and well done.”Regal Rapstar said this covers an important topic that affected the whole world, and now thereare even songs to celebrate the overcoming of what occurred on such a grand scale.Be sure to check out “F the Coronavirus” and the self titled EP, available on all platforms.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

What did I do? What did he do? Whatdid they do wrong?’ All this stuff that makes you feel absolutely crazy with a breakup.”From the start of this affair we were 25 years young And now I’m starting to regret what I said when I thought You’re the one who always calledThe only man of the hourAnd I still just can’t believe I think about youIt will be the second song to be released from her upcoming album — her debut —Wishing We Could Dream. More singles from the album are coming. The finishedproject, with 11 tracks, will drop early next year.The music video for “The Shower” will be released August 19.“I had some fun with the music video, too, like, stuff you do post breakup. You know,eating ice cream. Or just crying. But making it kind of fun instead of depressing and sad.I wanted it to be upbeat, musically, and I feel like we did, me and my producer, MeganMcCormick.”With the two singles from the album out this year, she is resuming a career path shestarted with the release of a five-track EP, A Sea of Darkness, in 2020. The pandemicand completing her degree in music interrupted.“The pandemic did hit right as I was releasing my EP, and then I was in school up until2022 getting my bachelor’s in music for vocal performance. That was my degree foropera.”Her post-college work as an operatic soprano includes performances of Puccini andVerdi in Italy and singing in master classes and coaching work. She has sung baroque-,classical-, romantic- and modern-era roles.But her road to 2024 and the beginnings of a serious music career began with adiagnosis of scoliosis at age 9 and surgery to correct it at 10. The titanium rodspermanently in her back and a long, painful recovery ruled out the sports and physicalactivity she had loved.Music became, as she says in her bio, the only thing she could rely on.And, in another twist, she grew up in the funeral home owned by her parents, who alsoowned a cemetery.“Although some people might think it’s very depressing to grow up around that, I feellike I have tried to appreciate life because I understand how short life is. And although Ido like the darkness of some of my songs, I try to highlight a lightness or a playfulness,like in ‘The Shower.’”Then there is the fact that, around the house, Papa sang Frank Sinatra and Mama lovedElvis.“I think of myself as an old soul,” she said. “I really love the older music, and I try toincorporate some of that stuff and some of that writing into my songs.”If some darkness is inevitable in her music, it comes in music that is beautiful andversatile. The five songs on her EP, for instance, have country, “Rose,” a song with anorchestral vibe, “Tension,” a rockish entry in “Alive,” and the very slow, moody,contemplative “Serendipity.”“Gone” is an upbeat tempo track that tells a story that is mysterious, ambiguous andchilling. Did she disappear or was she disappeared?All are beautiful listening. Mia Rago has a gorgeous voice, which she knows how to useand clearly loves to play with.The first track she released this year, “All of My Scars,” a song about her scoliosis, is analt-pop ballad of catharsis.All of my scars, all of my tearsGave me my pain and brought me hereThe stronger my spine, my body and soulMade up of bones with metal I’m whole“I think ‘All of My Scars’ was very therapeutic for me,” she said. “I got diagnosed withscoliosis at the age of 9, and to try to process that as a 9-year-old and then having thesurgery when I was 10 — it was not really possible for me to do, and I ended upprocessing it years later.”The years since A Sea of Darkness has been like a period of “research anddevelopment.”Going forward, she wants to develop — as long as I can — both her career in opera andin alt-pop.“My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between my more indie-pop, alternative stuff andopera. They’re more closely related than we think. I incorporate opera in some of myperformances, and I feel that, especially on ‘The Shower,’ in the chorus, I was able tohighlight some of my vocal training.”Still, she says “indie music is a lot more freeing than classical.”“There’s more rules in classical, and it’s more of a challenge, which is what I like aboutit, but it is fun to be able to experiment.”Fans can only benefit from following her as she creates her bridge.Connect to Mia Rago on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

It’s not a linear progression.”Or, speaking of death, “My Room,” which he almost titled “The Mausoleum,” since the nominal subject is the decay of the grave. Soft, melodic bass and crooning vocalization turn the lyrics into something to think about rather than a horror movie.My room is filled with colored lightFor this I can’t give up the fightMustiness breathes with an ugly snoreThere’s more of life lying in store“I was originally going to call that one ‘The Mausoleum.’ It’s basically about physical decomposition. I figured ‘My Room’ would be a more upbeat title.”Hobbes, the 17th-century English philosopher whose formulation of life as “nasty, brutish and short,” is the subject of “The Tenuous Affair.”Old Hobbes was speaking his mindBut he might have been unkindPardon me sir, pardon me sirYour words are making me blindThe intro is a kind of high-church vocalization, as might have been heard in the England of his time, with a swinging piano beat, tambourines and bongos and, lightly, the high notes of an organ, Hobbes’ ghost, perhaps, lurking in the background.“It feeds into the transcendence thing,” he said. “I’m advocating faith in positive things as opposed to sort of the stuff that Hobbes used to write about.”“That Cat,” on the other hand, is the psychological side.“It’s about what it means to have a nervous breakdown, and how there’s really no definition of, or way to categorize a nervous breakdown,” he said. He himself had what was called a nervous breakdown when he was 19 and now works as a psych counselor.Death in the valley, screaming down the alleyThis just ain’t no birth, but it also ain’t no finaleThat cat had a nervous breakdownSet to keyboards and flute to a bump-bounce beat.“That song is basically about just using that term to label any type of problem whatsoever.”“It’s a very untechno album,” he said, but it still has his vocal harmonization and themes rooted in what he calls the “Venn diagram of spirituality and mental dysfunction.” He has relied on the spirituality and experienced the dysfunction. They inform his music.The Republic is his experiment in pop, and he says that he probably won’t return to it. His next album will be on the rock end of the spectrum.“I want to get back to more of an organic rock sound. I want to write more songs that I can perform live and get to a good, solid rock beat. That’s the goal for the next album.”Live performances are another area in which Sam is advancing his music. He has performed live weekly for about 10 months. He is performing at the Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on July 23, at the Otter River Pub in Baldwinville on July 31, the Harvard General Store in Harvard on August 9.His other scheduled appearances are on his website (link below).Another song on The Republic, the upbeat “Still Singing,” with piano, sax and Latin-vibe brass, expresses the transcendence of hope. And my ears are ringingBut I’m still singingTo all of my hopesI’m so desperately clinging“It’s an important song because it’s about maintaining hope about the future and life and maintaining a positive attitude.”His philosophy of music includes the idea of growth and positivity, and that includes growing from his audience.“I’d like more people to listen to my music and give me feedback. I have a website where people can email me, and I’d love to get some criticism, so I can work on my next album and try to create something new down the line.”Transcend with Sam Welch — Sam Welch from Boston — and connect with him on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Filmmaker Meosha Bean interviews artist Har'Monique inkshttps://www.youtube.com/@UCJ9slRIAdssIg4dAPFL4Avw https://music.apple.com/us/artist/harmonique/1485970252 https://open.spotify.com/artist/0gNGFS54VMpwVdYAJjGz6Z https://www.instagram.com/har_monique23/?hl=enBioWith a power voice that goes as deep and hot as magma, or high, hard and cold as nails, delivered smooth, soft and dreamy or with a hacksaw edge, Har’Monique is launching her career with “One In a Million.” The song drops July 12, the video a couple weeks after that. Except for the overt but not explicit sexuality, the melody and vocals are classic R&B, set over a bell-like hip-hop beat. “I’m not really an R&B artist, so, I feel like whenever I do dabble in R&B sounds, it has to have some sort of hip-hop flair to it,” she said. When she first heard the music that became this song, what immediately popped into her mind was the Aaliyah song by the same name. “When I heard the sounds, I definitely heard Aaliyah’s ‘One In a Million.’ Her song had a lot of depth to it, soulful but real deep in her voice, and I thought, ‘That’s so cool! I love it!’ So, when I heard these sounds, I was like, ‘Oh, my God! That can have the same kind of undertone and depth to it.’ I wanted to take the title and make it my own.” The sound, she said, was sexy, and she knew right off that she had to write something sexy to the music. Cuz what I want want want want  Is what you want want want  Tonight That’s why I’m saying  Make me your one in a million  That process is in the nature of her creativity. “I don’t ever go in with a subject matter in mind. The song is always what the beat and the sound tell me it needs to be, and it basically writes itself.” The real joy of music, for her, is in the creation. Despite a voice that could have been designed specifically for R&B, and with the control that lets her use it however she wants, which, after this song, will be mainly pop, she says, “If I wasn’t writing my own music, I wouldn’t be singing.” This, and her fierce desire to be independent, tell the story of why six albums worth of her songs are “in the vault under my bed.” She is working on the seventh now. It will drop sometime early next year with 23 tracks. She wrote “One In a Million” in 2017 for the fourth album. It will be the third song she has released, the first this year. The other two were in 2021. Her story goes like this: She had a boyfriend in college who was going to school for audio engineering. Har’Monique has always sung, always had a voice for singing, and had been singing since she was a child, but “My goal in life was never to be a singer. I wanted to be a writer and write novels.” One day the ex said to her, “You can lay down some vocals.” This was when she was 21 or so, a little more than a decade ago. “So, I told him that I wasn’t getting into anybody’s studio to do cover songs. If I had to sing songs, I was going to have to write my own. And that’s when I fell in love with writing music.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

https://open.spotify.com/artist/6XTFWv1vuminZK3bRRcuoYhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/nikena/1481797430https://www.youtube.com/c/Nikenahttps://www.instagram.com/_nikena__/?hl=enNikena, a pop and R&B artist, has infused her Jamaican heritage and passion forsinging into a vibrant track titled "Hold Me," accompanied by a lively music videodepicting a thrilling night at the club.“I wanted to create a song about two people who makes eye contact at the club andthen end up dancing together before the end of the night” Nikena said.Making a music video is another way for her to explore her creativity further, especiallyin contributing to the vision for the music video. “I enjoy seeing my vision come to life,” she said.Creating “Hold Me” was a process that started with an entirely different beat altogetherthan what was on the finished copy. “Usually, my songs begin with a certain direction, but as I delve more into the creativeprocess, they take on new melodies and sounds, sometimes moving from my initialvision. I never truly know where they’ll end up and I enjoy that mystery.”With “Hold Me,” Nikena is most proud of her ability to step out of her comfort zone.“I let the song unfold naturally. I allowed myself to have fun and release myexpectations, even though I’m often very critical of my work. I’m constantly challengingmyself.”Nikena’s musical story starts in her native country of Jamaica at the age of 11. One dayshe was sitting in her classroom and the newspaper was delivered, and in one sectionthere was a photograph of Aaliyah with some of her song lyrics.“I thought she was so beautiful,” Nikena said. “This was my first time being exposed toan R&B singer and music. I thought, one day I want to have a song and do somethinglike her.”Soon after, she moved to Brooklyn where her love for music continued to blossom. Sheparticipated in talent shows and singing in choirs as she grew up. For fun, she wouldjust go to the library on the weekends and print out lyrics to music from artists likeBrandy, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera to practice.Nikena became a nurse after college, but her desire to make music was unwavering. Atthis point she was writing and singing constantly, and this when inspiration hit.“One day, I wrote a song outside a laundromat,” she explained. “It was a hot summerday and having just ended a relationship, I wanted to escape the sadness I felt at thetime. I began to think of what I could do to get out of the mindset I was in. I decided towrite a song, not about how I was feeling in the moment, but the complete opposite. SoI started to imagine a romantic escape with a future partner by waterfalls in Jamaica. Amelody came to mind and that’s how ‘Water’ the first song I ever released came to be.”Shortly after “Water” was written, she had a realization that music was a direction thatshe needed to take. She had an epiphany that was reinforced during an encounter witha woman she was introducing herself to at work. The woman complimented Nikena onher great speaking voice and asked if she was a singer. Nikena mentioned her song“Water,” and the woman encouraged her to go and record it.This was 2019 and Nikena has been in the studio ever since. Nikena loves the processand everything involved, from recording to doing open mics and shows. Since she started she has recorded eight songs and released six, but she has plentymore to go.Nikena is inspired by life experiences and says she 'loves everything about love.' Sheenjoys writing about love and even heartbreak. Whenever she faces a situation, sheturns it into a song.She is also influenced by her Jamaican culture, infusing Caribbean rhythm into hersounds. Nikena added that the music video also displayed her culture through thedancing and attire. “I try to incorporate my culture into my work, even in the smallest ways,” she said.Nikena mentioned that her goal is for people around the world to hear her music.  "Iwant people to enjoy my music as much as I do and for them to join me on my journey.”Be sure to check out “Hold Me” and the music of Nikena, available on all platforms.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

The song, he says, “dives into a state ofheightened self-awareness.”So "What You Came For" is already available, released on June 13th.“Say you go to Vegas for a weekend to have fun, or go on a bender,” said KingJu1c3,“and then you go home and what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas. That’s what thesong is about.”“The protagonist observes the inauthenticity of social interactions, their mind akaleidoscope of thoughts as they navigate these superficial exchanges,” said AcWolf.Sometimes I fly like just want to vibe outLet goWaveGrab another cup pour me something cuz I’m flyI been sitting wit my day onesIts how we ride byThe melodies are soft and dreamy, the beat quiet but insistent, driving the lyrics along.“When you’re there, it’s crazy,” said KingJu1c3. “But when you come back home, it’slike, ‘All right. We’re cool. Back to business.’”“Despite the facade,” said AcWolf, “a sense of knowing cuts through, unveiling thehidden motives of those around them. The song then takes a turn towards euphoria asthe protagonist finds their crew, reveling in the authenticity and shared excitement ofbeing ‘all up’ together.”I know I knowSaid I'm lit thoI know I knowI said we Up!KingJu1c3 and AcWolf, long-time friends, also released “Massi” last year.KingJu1c3, a combat veteran of the U.S. armed forces, has been singing, writing andmaking music since age 14 or 15. In high school, he says, music was something “on theside.”After high school, he joined the military, came back, earned a master’s degree and then,just about the time he was starting to take music seriously, the pandemic happened. Hismusic career, like so much else around the world, was interrupted.“Basically, I took a break, and now I’m starting back up and getting back into music,” hesaid.Now 35, Ju1c3 said, “If I were to condense it to how long I’ve been doing musicnonstop, I would say about five years.”He is from Bellflower, California, one of the suburbs of Los Angeles. In his bio, he saysthat his music explores “the paradoxes and complexities of the human experience,” andhe puts into his rhymes “the pain and struggles of war, navigating life after service, andthe resilience of the human spirit.”AcWolf is from Inglewood, a few miles west and closer to the coast. He says he infuseshis music with spirituality, “challenging listeners to rise to higher vibrations.” His life hasbeen marked by the challenges of adversity and gang life, bringing him to adetermination “to lead and guide others toward a knowledge of God” and help them intheir search for inspiration and growth.“The wave of life is our own creation, a ride shaped by our choices,” he said. “Embraceit all, the crests and the crashes, for it’s how we carve our own journey. “Ju1c3’s underground hip-hop is based in what he calls the “raw emotion of ’90s R&Band the gritty beats of early 2000s hip hop.” His music invites listeners to “step into theshadows and face the darkness and the light.”His earlier work was more focused on the R&B spectrum of his vocal work — singinginstead of rapping. He is turning now more toward hip-hop.Ideally, he said, he and AcWolf want to perform more and get a record deal andprofessional management. “What You Came For” is the introduction.“We think it can be one of those summer jams that can be one of the two or three songsthat are always playing on the radio, that people are like, ‘You can’t get enough of it,’which is why it ends on a cliffhanger that makes you want to play it again.”Connect to KingJu1c3 and AcWolf on all platforms for new music, videos, and socialposts/. InstagramTikTokBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

by the Great Virus, endless civil war and a collapse of the global order called the Breakdown. She’s forced by circumstances to ally with a nomadic photographer. His gentle decency moves her to the core, but her mission leads her away from the man she’s falling in love with and toward a confrontation with the people who hold her sister. To defeat them, she’ll need the help of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes. But there’s a problem. The Nations consider Deirdre a deadly enemy. They've even given her a nickname that signifies their grudging respect for this ferocious adversary: Crazy Hawk. “America at times feels like it is at a breaking point, or at least at a moment where it is divided and tested,” notes Stewart. “I address those fears and passions when drawing the world in this book. The future is not yet determined, but for some, it can seem a dark, violent place.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

The melodies andinstrumentation make it a hauntingly beautiful listen.“Sorry” drops on July 6. The music video has already been released.“When I wrote this song,” said S7GMA, “I had just lost my father. Then a month after, Ilost my manager. He was killed. In that very same day, I found out that my friend’snewborn baby had passed away.”Never thought I’d have these thoughts now they want me on them pills,My dad just passed away my head just spinning like a wheel,Then my homie lost his daughter man I know this can’t be real,It is, in one way, the most defiant, in-your-face eulogy you’ll ever hear. In another, it is agood-bye to all his friends, and in another it is a message to himself.An Asian singing bowl resonates in the background, and a soft, slow chiming bell setsthe beat and the mood in the intro before drums take over the beat and slashed stringsintroduce the theme:World turned us cold and all we know is get it,We ain’t never ask for this life, but it is the life we living,Telling us the best to do, but is that the right decision?“‘Sorry’ is basically all tough love, because somebody like me had to go through myobstacles, obviously, to get to where I had to be. So, it’s a message to myself, ‘Stopfeeling sorry for yourself.’ At the same time, I’m sorry you had to go through everythingthat you had to go through to be where you are today.”He calls his new music — the music he began creating this year with “Now” —“conscious hip-hop.” It has a much more serious attitude than the upbeat, poppy hip-hop of previous years.In 2023, he said, his attitude was “You know what? I’m just gonna give people whatthey want. I’m just, you know, playful and commercial.”But by the end of the year, his reasoning changed.“It was like, this isn’t working, and if I can’t please people doing what they want, makingsounds that they want to hear, then I’m just going to go ahead and do me. I lockedmyself in my room for the first three months of the year and did nothing but S7GMA,S7GMA, S7GMA. S7GMA, S7GMA, S7GMA, all day every day.”Conscious hip-hop.“It is music with a message but it’s more conscious of myself, of the moves I make,because I do have mental depression, and I’m a deep thinker. I like to dig deep intothings. I like being self-aware.”“Sorry,” with its anger and loss, is also a song of regret, of missed opportunities to learnfrom people now gone, of the inability to help.He wasn’t in real contact with his father until he was 20 and his father had beendiagnosed with the brain tumor that eventually killed him.“Every time I spoke to him, he always told me, ‘Just don’t stress.’ Literally, just black andwhite, ‘Don’t stress,’ and that’s an anomaly to me, because, like I said, I like to breakthings down.”“And then my manager,” he said, the manager who texted him “23 minutes before hepassed.”“He was three hours away, and he needed me to come and pick him up. It only took 23minutes for somebody else to take his life. So, I do feel guilty, one, that I never paidattention to my father and two, I’m not Superman and I couldn’t make a three-hour trip.”S7GMA self-produces all his music. His YouTube channel is named prodS7GMA. Thesound of “Now” and “Sorry,” he said, will now be a “staple” with him, “somber, tough, lowsounding, and that aggression that you hear in ‘Sorry” is also something I do.”“Sorry” and “Now” will be part of a seven-track EP, Mind of Me, he will release inNovember. Another single that will go on the EP, “Welcome,” drops on July 19. Beyondthat, he has a whole year’s program of music planned for the rest of this year and into2025. Meanwhile, we have “Sorry,” with music and lyrics well-worth listening to. S7GMA’svoice itself has a resonating quality much like the singing bowl in the intro, which addsto the music and makes the message almost impossible to miss.“‘Sorry,’” he said, returning to the message, “I’ll say is something for people to listen to.You can be sorry, but don’t feel sorry for yourself.”Make sure to stay connected to S7GMA on all platforms for new music, videos, andsocial posts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIszb9nh3r4https://open.spotify.com/artist/64kjTvGmTTpYpoSX0uNJ6QRapper Jesse Medina continues to pour his heart and soul into his music, putting out hard-hitting tracks. The most recent is “No Ma’am” off an upcoming EP titled Extrasensory Modes ofPerception.“No Ma’am” features Medina’s boy Q-Timer, who he has been playing music with for years.They wrote the song together and put it to a beat by producer Barry Bones, who they bothworked with on Medina’s recent track “In My Head.”While his first single was more about using trippy poetry describing the world of drug psychosis,this one is a little more fun and playful with a focus on “chillin’ with his homies.”“We went over to Barry’s lab and did it over his beat,” Medina said. “It was based off the show‘Married With Children’ and Al Bundy’s little crew of homies. You know, it’s about looking out foryour bro, having guy time and just kind of talking shit.”Medina admits there is some randomness to the song, and he and Q-Timer are just “spittin’.”The inspiration for the bars kind of just came out of thin air.“It’s really about the brotherhood,” Medina said. “It is kind of the camaraderie between me andQ-Timer. It’s about sticking with your boys. You know, there are people in relationships, but youcan go out and kick it with your homies. I like the word play and like the beat a lot, and the hookis hella dope to me. That kind of sums it up.”Medina said the bars and the beat carry the lyrical flow. The beat has an element of intrigue to itbefore the lyrics kick in.Here they comeAll my gunsMy day onesLike when you see me runThe story behind the beat is an interesting one. Jesse said there was initially another beat that“No Ma’am” was written to. Somehow it went missing, and no matter how hard they looked, theysimply couldn’t find it. Sometimes that is just the way things go, and resiliency is key. While itthrew them off at first, Medina, Q-Timer and Barry Bones started from square one and put outsomething to be proud of.“Q found this beat and it was sounding hard,” Jesse said. “When I heard it, I knew it was a hellasick beat. I love it, man. It’s beyond what I wanted it to be. This beat changed the delivery andmade it something else.”He has heard solid feedback from his fans about his last track, “In My Head,” and with “NoMa’am” that praise has only continued and increased. He said this is one for the friends andfans alike.“This is for the hip-hop heads.”Extrasensory Modes of Perception has nine tracks and will be released next month. It is a mix ofdifferent styles of hip-hop. Jesse said it is beyond labeling in a genre. Each track differs from thenext and will keep the listeners on their toes and on the edge of their seats in anticipation. Whilethere is a sense of randomness, he said there is also a method to the madness.“If I hear something in my head, I’m just going to execute it, and there’s no telling what kind ofmusic will come from it,” he said. “I’m looking at the challenge and having fun with it every time.But there is a theme — you can hear the hip-hop influences no matter what song it is.”Jesse was born and raised in San Jose, and music is simply a massive part of his life. When hehears music, lyrics will just flow through him, but sometimes he takes his time to make sureeverything is perfect. Medina thrives off using straight emotion with the beat.He has influences that date back to music his mother would play like Prince, Rick James andthe Isley Brothers. Some of his current inspirations include groups like the Gorillaz, FreestyleFellowship, TDE, Gnarls Barkley, Deftones, Chelsea Grin and Portishead. When he was just 10 years old, he started writing music. Through life experiences and hisinspirations, he has been able to create his own personal sound and touch.Jesse is always working. His current projects are a three-song EP, called This Way Westward,as well as an EP with unreleased songs called Nostalgia Nuggets.“No Ma’am” is available on all platforms, and Extrasensory Modes of Perception is scheduledfor an August 3 release.Be sure to follow Jesse Medina’s musical journey on all platforms.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
