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.

“We Keep Walking” by Foxy Leopard explores the quiet forces that lead us toward history
There is something unsettling about being on a journey that does not end when the destination is not assured. That tug is at the heart of Foxy Leopard’s cinematic alt-country sound on “We Keep Walking.” What looks like a simple step forward becomes a meditation on history, community, and the choices people make before they know the consequences.
The concept album Foxy Leopard released earlier tells the story of the last months before the American Civil War through the lives of common people, and the song is a turning point that takes a different turn from a typical historical song. It’s not zooming in on the war itself but on the unseen momentum building around normal families and communities.
Foxy Leopard dishes up alt-country with a cinematic edge, and “We Keep Walking” seems to be a particularly potent example of that style. This song has a forward motion that fits its theme, a driving pulse, and darker implications all the more apparent.
The vocal and production approach serves the storytelling, and there’s a control beneath the energy that makes the track’s space feel reflective, uneasy, and quietly dramatic. Foxy Leopard demonstrates how alt-country can be employed for cinematic storytelling without sacrificing its human scale. If you’re a fan of atmospheric alt-country, storytelling songwriting, and songs that find personal meaning in grand historical moments, there’s a lot to discover on “We Keep Walking.”

Lana Crow unveils a fun getaway for summer freedom on latest release “Japrisot”
Lana Crow‘s latest release, “Japrisot” is a song that feels carved from sunshine, open roads, and the call of the sea. Lana Crow’s sunny summer feel here is a perfect fit. The song takes inspiration from The Lady in a Car with Glasses and a Gun, and while it has a playfully dramatic touch, its energy is squarely aimed at adventure. Right away, the attitude is set in the lyrics, “I stole your car, I bet you weren’t prepared for this. I am driving off. To the sea, to the joy you can never know. It’s cheeky, it’s bold, it’s just right for the song’s freewheeling summer vibe.
“Japrisot” musically has the feel of a classic pop tune, with a bass line that serves as an especially enjoyable foundation for the guitar. Lana’s vocal texture is another appealing element, her breath control and warmth are cool, giving the song a playful drama without overwhelming its breeziness.
Lana Crow keeps the track moving with lyrics about speed, excitement, and the rush of taking control, the feeling of movement goes on. I’m driving fast, the rush of hitting the gas, it feels so hot, it makes me feel like a badass, this is what I call freedom. The song doesn’t just talk about a sunny day, it gives the heat, the road, and the sea something bigger, something that’s part of an escape.
