Exclusive Interview: Rising Artist Bxndzszn
Hello Bxndzszn, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
For starters, music has always been a part of my life but I really fell into creating music based on it being my way of expressing myself due to me being an introvert .
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
If I could describe my sound/style in one word it would be evolutionarily because as I age so will everything else.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
I would tell them to keep going no matter what and if that’s what they really want it is possible!
What quote or mantra do you live by?
“Get rich or die trying” and “with age comes wisdom”
What is your hobby outside of music?
Outside of music I really just like to enjoy life. My hobby outside of music would probably be me just staying positive and staying productive whether that’s playing the game or seeing the world.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years, I see myself having achieved a lot of my goals in which I’ll be making music, living life, and spreading positivity. I am Bxndzszn !
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
Lol I’m consistent so there will always be. But I plan on getting more music and content out!
What is the inspiration behind your latest song?
The inspiration behind my latest song “destiny “ is in alignment with my life and how it’s not all positive
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.
Honestly this is a question that I can’t really answer because although there are things that I wish I was told… the fact that I did it for myself makes it more worth it, in my opinion of course!
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
I’d recommend to them that breaks are very much needed and that mental health is very important.

Adrie ft. Rulo evokes the groove-soaked rhythmic vibe with her debut single “Bring Back the Light”
Adrie’s thought-provoking vibe, “Bring Back the Light,” establishes a sonically vivid kaleidoscope that encapsulates vitality and skillfully merges energetic Afrobeat rhythms and funk-oriented guitar melodies with the soulful combination of English and Spanish lyrics. The debut single from her upcoming concept album bursts forth as a significant representation of artistic innovation. The audacious collaboration with Chilean artist Rulo, recognized for his proficiency in Latin funk and hip-hop roots, infuses the track with a layer of vibrant authenticity.
The song’s heartbeat is firmly rooted in Afrobeat, establishing a dynamic rhythm that engages listeners from the outset. The funk guitar elements interlace throughout the composition, contributing a timeless energy. Additionally, the bilingual lyrics transition seamlessly between English and Spanish, reflecting Adrie’s diverse cultural heritage. This linguistic interplay underscores the overarching theme of the track: the complex relationship between light and darkness on both societal and personal levels.
Drawing inspiration from the surreal narrative of the television series ‘Twin Peaks,’ Adrie and Rulo explore the equilibrium between fear and hope. The lyrics are imbued with emotional depth, articulating Adrie’s battle with anxiety and her desire to foster positivity. Nevertheless, the overall composition rises above the melancholy theme, characterized by an uplifting rhythm and celebratory tone, encouraging listeners to engage intellectually, contemplate profoundly, and participate physically through dance.
“Bring Back the Light” aims to illuminate these pressing issues and inspire proactive engagement. It is a poignant reminder that even amidst personal or societal challenges, there’s a rhythm in life to celebrate and a spark waiting to be ignited. This represents Adrie at her most creative, and with Rulo’s distinctive flair, the outcome is a dance-floor anthem characterized by both heartfelt and meaningful. Listeners are invited to increase the volume and allow the music to uplift and brighten their spirits.
