Meet WHOSFLYY, The Artist on the Watch from Long Island, NY

Erick Johnson was born on June 6^th, 1989 in Manhattan, New York, USA, and his stage name is WHOSFLYY. He was raised in the gritty streets of Brentwood Long Island. WHOSFLYY started his music at a younger age but never really took it serious until he got older and actually could find his sound. What inspired him to do music was the fact that he listened to all types of music growing up, and a lot of friends around him are either rapping, dancing, or were involved with some sort of music.

WHOSFLYY and his friends would record songs on a computer with the built-in mic and start the crafting as time went on. He said a lot of their good young songs came from that old Mac computer, you know those ones with the fatback LOL.

Music has been his outlet to expressing how he feel about things going on in his life whether it was good, bad, sad, depressed, or just a party lifestyle. He has always been in some sort of a spotlight he didn’t know if that’s good or bad. Everyone learns a lot of things as you get older, and perfecting his craft as an artist is one of them.

WHOSFLYY has never shied away from challenges or an opportunity that presents itself. He is a motivated, calm, soft-spoken, kind-hearted, determined, well put together young man. He is ever grateful and thankful to his mother for her motivation as a youngster. WHOSFLYY seeing his mother doing things as a single mother taking care of two boys has always encourage him to do better things, and work harder for whatever it is that is worth doing well for greater achievement.

WHOSFLYY came from a small family. So, doing everything he could be just to comfort the family. He had his troubles in the past with the law or just making dumb decisions, but growing up as a man all has changed. When he was just 20 years old, he was blessed with two little boys – Ayden and Evan. These little boys look up to their father, they follow their father, they want to be with their father always, so in his mind, quitting is not an option for WHOSFLYY.

He is hopeful that his music can bring joy to someone’s day because you never know what someone is going through, or what they are about to go through. I make music for parties, MB, deep thoughts, or if you want to just vibe, make sure you tuned up WHOSFLYY!

When he found his sound, He performed different shows like SOBs, Studio shows, etc. WHOSFLYY wants to make music that people can relate to, vibe to, dance to, and just be themselves. Music is an art and most of the time you have to keep tracing a picture until you can actually draw it on your own. Just like music, you keep recording until you perfect your craft. He wants his music to be on the playlist, games, movie clips, etc. The sky is the limit. WHOSFLYY’s style is Word Play, and that’s what makes it fun and interesting.

WHOSFLYY sound is unique when you listen and can only be WHOSFLYY and nobody else. He advised that if you are out trying to achieve your dream, you don’t let anybody cross your way to stop you from doing your dream. Negativity is everywhere but just remember that if they are not talking about you, then you’re not doing something right. Keep going, Don’t Stop!

Album Review

Dian Sheng explores identity, life and love with “Sid” album

Dian Sheng releases his long-awaited first English-language album, “Sid,” a genre-defying collection of songs that includes pop, rock, electronic, and jazz. “Sid” is a deep, meditative exploration of identity, relationships, and self-growth, spanning 29 minutes and 12 seconds across eight tracks. This album is a personal exploration of the complex emotions of mankind and the vitality and jubilation of life.

From the opening track, “Right Now,” Dian Sheng establishes a sense of urgency and reflection. The upbeat song “I Come From Far” examines the connection between the self and one’s environment. It has joyful beats and layers that make you think and feel like part of the narrative.

The jazz ballad “Undecided Love” delves into the complexities of modern romance, featuring tender vocals and instrumentation that showcase Sheng’s delicate touch as a songwriter. “It Will Be Alright” is an empowering anthem about overcoming life’s biggest obstacles, combining electronic beats with a rock influence.

“Seventeen” is bursting with youthful energy, and its production captures the restlessness and emotionality of adolescent life. Two introspective songs with similar atmospheres, “The Way Before” and “This Life,” match chilling melodies with moving lyrics that touch on bygone relationships, self-awareness, and the quest for meaning we all experience.

The album concludes with “Shining As Your Name,” and the final few minutes of this piece alone evoke a strong sense of hope. Dian Sheng demonstrates his ability to join emotional depth with new styles. “Sid” is an invitation into the rich musical universe of Dian Sheng, where you can both consider yourself and feel influenced.

Feel the vibe with Sporty-O’s new EP “The P.L.U.R. Project,” a blend of emotions and sound

“The P.L.U.R. Project” begins like a rush of light across a crowded dance floor as jubilant, purposeful, and very human. This seven-song, 29-minute journey from the EDM pioneer Sporty-O is a cultural reset built around peace, love, unity, and respect.

Sporty-O establishes the emotional timbre for the entire project from the first track of its lead single, “Spirit Higher.” The song is anthemic, its purposes well outlined despite a high-gloss production. It’s a centerpiece that establishes the mood of an intensive exploration of sound and self-awareness.

“The P.L.U.R. Project” is just as much about managing your feelings as it is about moving. Sporty-O creates each record with intention, writing things that make people think on the dance floor. Another high-energy song is “Happy Together,” with Lorme and Chris Willis, pulsing warmth and togetherness. “SOLD!” has a clean, feel-good sound that embodies the community spirit of EDM culture.

Sporty-O embraces a multi-genre EDM palette on the EP, fusing forward-thinking sounds with uptempo beats. Tracks like “Revolution” with Specimen A and “Geek’d Up” with Baby Sweet provide lots of energy and edge. “Piece Of My Mind” is more introspective, while “Cheveyo” features a diverse array of collaborators and culminates in a rich, layered sound, all while maintaining a global welcoming spirit.

What makes this project unique is that it serves both and reminds people of the origins of dance culture. Sporty-O aims to help people rediscover the heartbeat of the community. “The P.L.U.R. Project” is an EDM experience that reaches beyond the speakers, colorful and thoughtful about meaning in music-based culture.
