Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

Tips I would recommend to other artists is to Take it one day at a time, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, you can be hot today and nobody cares about your music tomorrow & nobody can care about your Music today but you can be hot tomorrow. It’s all about how you look at things & always think outside the box when making decisions. Long as you have consistency and drive you will get far just keep the vision.

Can you please give us your favorite  “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?

One of my favorite life quotes is “Fart thought it was a Fart and then it shit itself” it’s a funny way of saying “don’t think” don’t be hesitant to do what you want to do, never think about it just do it because when fart THOUGHT it was a fart it ended up shitting itself instead of farting lol.

None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?

I’m very grateful for my big brother Spaceship, he’s thought me a lot and steered me away from a lot of trouble just by knowing life and what it’s like to be outside.

You are a person of enormous influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. 🙂

My Movement would be “Outside on FrontStreet” everybody is outside but not everybody is outside for the right reason, I’m outside to help the people around me, give back to the community, steer people from wrong, and help with financial stability. And I’m doing all this while on “FrontStreet” which is my definition of the black Wall Street in New York City.

We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He or she might see this. 🙂

I would love to have a conversation with Jay Z and Beyoncé, I rode a private helicopter of their Beverly Hills mansion which is the biggest in Hollywood and worth 300 million, I would like to ask what all they did to get to where they are and ask for some advice because I want to be where I’m they are in life.

“Pretty Ugly” by Archer Stevens stirs the soul with retro-modern rock vibes

Archer Stevens

Pretty Ugly,” the inaugural single by Archer Stevens, represents a compelling homage to the golden age of 70s rock music with a fresh coat of modern vibrancy. From the outset, the track masterfully exudes an irresistible energy that embodies vintage and contemporary influences, acting as a sonic bridge between eras. The Phoenix-based ensemble skillfully weaves their influences into a pronounced, personal narrative.

A noteworthy aspect of the track is its instrumentation. Recorded across three diverse locations, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and even Peru, the song has a global resonance. The incorporation of congas introduces a surprising layer of depth and rhythm, giving “Pretty Ugly” a distinct flair that separates it from cookie-cutter rock releases. This thoughtful musical choice enhances the song’s groove, complementing the shimmering guitar lines and soulful vocal delivery.

Lyrically, “Pretty Ugly” plays on contrasts, embodying the emotional push and pull of life’s dualities. The heartfelt lyrics evoke a sense of intimate admiration and longing to please a partner, while the melodic structure ensures the track remains uplifting despite its introspective qualities.

By drawing inspiration from the enduring spirit of rock legends such as Elton John, Joe Cocker, and the Rolling Stones, Archer Stevens pays tribute to their predecessors without resorting to imitation. The soaring vocals and driving rhythm establish “Pretty Ugly” as a cathartic anthem that appeals to classic and contemporary rock enthusiasts. With this debut, Archer Stevens distinguishes itself as a band unafraid to experiment and honor its musical heritage, thus carving out its unique sonic identity. The result is a richly layered auditory experience that captivates from the first listen, revealing engaging narratives within the music.

The track opens with a delicate interplay of introspective guitar melodies and ethereal synth layers, creating an atmospheric canvas that perfectly frames his soulful vocal delivery. The production, entirely helmed by Khynan and polished by Ben Booker’s mastering touch, feels intimate yet sophisticated without stripping away an ideal balance that lets the emotion shine through the song’s soulful compulsion.
