BOSCOBABYY: HOW THE RISING STAR IS CONTRIBUTING A FRESH TAKE TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
Bosco Babyy (a.k.a. Myles Austin), was forced to alter his artistic direction, as the world hovered on the brink of change. Distancing, he immersed himself in his music to record 15 tracks, and 3 skits in just 28 hours to deliver his debut album, DAYS WE FORGET. Bosco Babyy is no stranger to change. The 23-year old who was raised on a military base for the early years of his life, by his father who spoke fluent Japanese and his mother who wrote stage plays that he’d perform in at the church his family attended, was born into the arts. DAYS WE FORGET is only Part I of a trilogy of story-telling concepts that tap into places old and new, tackling life’s revelations. We had the opportunity to interview Boscobabyy.
Hello Boscobabyy, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
I first got into music in highschool, I wasn’t taking music seriously just releasing a couple songs on soundcloud. A few of my friends found it and word started spreading around school. Years later in my sophomore year of college I picked it back up and started taking it seriously.
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
I would describe my style as versatile, all my songs sound different and have their own spirit. I aim to create new sounds and genres as my career progresses.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
I would tell them to always stay creative and most important stay on your business.
What quote or mantra do you live by?
To lift myself up when I’m down i live by the mantra “Many are called,few are chosen”.
What is your hobby outside of music?
My hobbies outside of music are working out, creative writing, and traveling.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In five years I see my brand being a household name and multifaceted business.
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why.
Advice I wished I recieved is the importance of business and marketing. Personally when I first started I only focused on the art and wondered why I wasn’t getting more traction.;
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
I’d recommend having a trustworthy team and flexible plan.
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
You can expect more shows, new singles, and my next music video in november.
What is the inspiration behind your latest song?
DAYS WE FORGET is Part II of an ongoing series of story-telling concepts that tap into places old and new, tackling life’s revelationsThe inspiration behind my latest project “Days We Forget” is a look at the outside world and how life has changed for everyone. I believe we are entering a new era brought upon us by forces and battles unseen. I live by the principle that what happens in nature is a result of what’s happening in the spiritual. As these things change I made this project to comfort and reflect on days passed..the days we forget.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.
“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.
“It’s All Good” is an engaging and approachable phrase that offers context for an artist who is confident and clear about their artistic vision. This is the kind of song you listen to when you need some honest encouragement to remember that just being human can help you move forward. This is only the first chapter of something serious, so expect more from him.
