Hey Roulette, Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?

Roulette – What inspired me to write my music is that I wanted to tell people about my life and things that I experience. I feel the music is one of the true forms of art that may still remain for people to be truly honest about themselves and about what may be going on and going through in their lives. I decided to use a musical platform to tell my story and to get a lot of things off my chest and out of my mind to put it out there into the world. Being real with people and honest is important to me. I always say I’m just a God-fearing man that loves his family and pays his taxes.

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

Roulette – At first, me doing music and entertainment was more or less me trying to occupy my time and get a lot of things out of my mind and to kind of run away from my problems. I believe I decided to do things full-time as a career when I was told by my ex-wife that I shouldn’t waste my time doing it and then I’m not good at it. Music actually helps me to comfort a lot of problems in my life and get a lot of negative people out of my life.

Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?

Roulette – I believe my music is unique and it is also different because my music tells my life which is true to me and things that are going on. I also quote the Bible in my music and a lot of artists don’t do that. Also, I am true to who I am, myself, my brand, and my family, because everything I do I put God first and my family second.

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

Roulette – My Music tells my life and things that I experience in life so my latest release “Dey Say” is about not caring what people say about you because people are always gonna talk about you whether they know the truth or not. My other release “Keep It 2” is about keeping things in a small circle with a small team of people you trust.

Can you give us a brief insight into your upcoming projects?

Roulette – My upcoming project is really focused on giving back to the community and taking care of the kids in the community.

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

Roulette – I believe that anything that you’re doing you need to always trust your instincts and trust what your gut is telling you. It is very important to know the difference between someone being there for you to help you and someone being there for you so that they can just benefit from you. Also believe in your vision, yourself, and what you want to accomplish.

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) that you are passionate about?

Roulette – I’m an actor, comedian, model, and entrepreneur. So I’m usually working on other projects but still find time to do music.

Any last piece of advice for those artists who just started making music?

Roulette – Always believe in yourself and don’t quit no matter how hard it gets.

CircleKSK ignites an anime-metal collision on “UnBreakable Turn” ft. Anya J

On their exhilarating high-octane track “UnBreakable Turn,” CircleKSK and guest vocalist Anya J aim to combine the technical prowess of Nordic metal with the urgent melodies and dramatic flair of an anime opening sequence. Creating a cinematic and adrenaline-fueled tune with a melodic edge, CircleKSK has risen to prominence as an innovative act.

The deliberate fusion contributes to the single’s captivating nature. J-Pop and anime-song sensibilities contribute emotional hooks and sweeping, catchy lines; precision, dense riffs, and a sense of weight are brought by Nordic metal. Echoing the song’s vivid melodic contours, Anya J’s heroic and personal vocals and demeanor heighten the dramatic impact of the performance. The structure is based on the standard narrative progression: lively, evocative parts leading the way to more somber ones that ground the emotion.

The production relies on contrast so that lighter parts sparkle and heavier parts thud with satisfying force. As if CircleKSK were creating music for the eyes as well as the ears, this piece could serve as the score for a dramatic scene or the music for a violent montage. Not everything is surface-level, though; the emotional core remains. Anthemic and deeply personal, “UnBreakable Turn” combines the vigor of youth with the gravity of experience.

An assuredly inventive single that fearlessly asserts new territory, “UnBreakable Turn” by CircleKSK is sure to please fans of big, dramatic music that isn’t hesitant to mix sweetness and steel, as well as those who enjoy cross-cultural mashups. The single, which has been lauded by curators and tastemakers worldwide, is a strong statement about artists who fearlessly combine cultural genres, showing that passionate J-Pop melodies and intense Scandinavian metal can coexist in one unforgettable track.

Garth Adam keeps the flame of Journeysong burning with the new single “Three Fires”

Garth Adam‘s latest single, “Three Fires,” evokes a warm dialogue in a subdued studio that is intimate, contemplative, and subtly victorious. Adam candidly discusses the exhilaration of uncovering self-assurance in both himself and his songwriting, and this revelation serves as the driving force of the track. At its essence, “Three Fires” is a straightforward commemoration: the delight in transforming a modest idea into something extraordinary through patience.

Adam’s vocal style resides comfortably within a folk-influenced pop genre, which he characterizes as a blend of Neil Finn and The Lumineers, interspersed with elements reminiscent of Coldplay and James Blunt. The reference point is beneficial yet not confining; “Three Fires” represents Adam’s unique creation, an accessible, melodic composition that prioritizes artistry over novelty. The single, recorded in joyful sessions in Perth with long-time collaborator and producer Melvin Tree, exudes the warmth of musicians collaborating in a circle, with the vintage Studer analog desk imparting an analog glow to the final recording. Melvin, Dave Kelly, and a select group of skilled music students contribute backing vocals that enhance the track with harmony and impart a subtly communal, authentic quality.

The lyrics of the song emphasize Adam’s preferred motifs: travel, journeys, and the subtle transformations that occur during the voyage. However, it is not overly forceful; the songwriting is elegant, transitioning from observation to insight with effortless fluidity. Adam’s delivery conveys satisfaction; he is a songwriter who has witnessed minor concepts evolve into completed songs and has learned to trust that process.

“Three Fires” serves as a testament to the notion that skill and perseverance can transform a mere spark into something luminous. For aficionados of melodic songwriting with an analog essence, Garth Adam’s latest work is a comforting, exquisitely crafted ember to accompany one on their journey. It is a song that encourages repeated, soothing auditory experiences.
