One of the most interesting people I’ve interacted with is Shy Glizzy, a DC artist who is very big in the industry. I bumped into him at a DC club and we were both in VIP chillin, he was very down to earth so that was very cool because most of these artists are to Hollywood to interact with anyone.

 

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.

 

You have been blessed with success in a career path that can be challenging. Do you have any words of advice for others who may want to embark on this career path, but seem daunted by the prospect of failure? 

If you wanna take this path take it, forget the doubters if this is what you really what to do then do it, stay focused on the vision and you can obtain the world. The sky is the limit but reaches for the stars too.

Nothing is free you have to spend money to make money, don’t take anything personal everything is business. Timing is everything know when to make a move. Always be working because the next artist is always working. And see everything for what it is and not what you want it to be.

 

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.

“Little Louis” by Tom Collins turns an introspective heartache into life’s hopeful anthem

Tom Collins

Tom Collins presents himself as a captivating talent and noteworthy figure in contemporary songwriting, distinguished for conveying essential lifelines through his music. With his newest single, “Little Louis,” the rising indie artist has created something even more profound, luminous, and truly unforgettable, effectively exploring themes such as vulnerability and defiance. It marks an impressive advancement in his artistic evolution, exhibiting a blend of lyrical sincerity and nuanced storytelling that may soon establish him as a prominent vocalist within the timeless indie genre.

Upon the initial guitar strum of “Little Louis,” listeners are introduced to intricate guitar work and musical elements reminiscent of a late-night introspective revelation. As the composition progresses, it transforms into a resonant anthem for the morning, encapsulating the experiences of two young hearts, one boy and one girl, each burdened by challenging beginnings as they endeavor to move beyond the influences of their pasts towards uncertain futures. This track is a subtle yet powerful testament to those who courageously pursue their aspirations in a society that frequently neglects their struggles. It embodies the essence of a quietly confident anthem, symbolizing the journey of an individual who’s lived a little, experienced difficulties, and still dares to dream.

What makes “Little Louis” particularly special is its emotional duality, skillfully balancing elements of grit with tenderness and grandeur with intimacy, while simultaneously offering glimpses of hope. The chorus carries an undercurrent of resilience that resonates with the listener long after the final note fades. The composition establishes a dynamic tension by effectively contrasting themes of pain and perseverance, while juxtaposing the haunting shadows of the past with an aspirational quest for light. The instrumentation is rich yet tastefully restrained, featuring jangling guitar riffs, sweeping melodies, and deeply relatable lyricism, thereby fostering a visceral connection to the narrative for the audience.

Collins’ artistic trajectory aligns favorably with contemporaneous artists like Sam Fender, whose narrative-driven songwriting resonates with audiences similarly. He draws influences from Jamie Webster and The Hunna, both known for their sophisticated melodies and polished production techniques. Collins is navigating a grounded and humanistic path within the music industry, and his track “Little Louis” exemplifies this perspective. The song explores themes of heartbreak, the search for existential significance, and the innate desire for an introspective connection. It serves as a poignant reminder of the shared struggle for companionship and understanding amid life’s inherent challenges, positioning it as an essential inclusion for any discerning music enthusiast’s repertoire.

PURE XTC stirs the emotional wheel of heartbreak with her anthemic new single “Drive”

PURE XTC

Alt-pop artist PURE XTC has delivered a heart-wrenching ballad with her latest single “Drive,” the sonic embodiment of emotional unraveling. This track doesn’t just play through your speakers; it resonates deep within your bones, showcasing PURE XTC’s most cinematic moment yet that feels like the soundtrack to a breakup you didn’t see coming until it was already behind you.

Co-written by Taylor Hughes with lyrical contributions from Mariel Loveland, “Drive” encapsulates the gut-wrenching moment when love unravels quietly, culminating in a profound realization. It deviates from the typical narratives of angry outbursts or dramatic breakdowns; instead, it focuses on the slow deterioration of love, capturing the ache of recognizing that someone you once believed was your forever has become a stranger sitting beside you. It conveys a sense of surrender wrapped in reverb, portraying a state of being too exhausted to fight, too numb to hope, and simply ready to move on, not necessarily forward, but away.

Musically, the track features hypnotic synths and reverb-drenched guitars that shimmer like streetlights on wet pavement. The steady beat mimics the rhythm of a long drive with no destination, fueled solely by the urge to keep moving. Hughes’ vocal performance paints a vivid soundscape that feels like emotional release in motion, a moody companion for late-night solitude.

What makes “Drive” compelling is its honest restraint and refusal to glamorize heartbreak. Instead, it embraces the ambiguity and messy emotions involved in letting go, ironically making it resonate even more. The vulnerability present isn’t just in the lyrics; it permeates every layered sound and tension that never quite resolves.

PURE XTC isn’t merely creating music; she’s building an intimate and vast sonic universe. With this release, she solidifies her status as a master of emotional storytelling through sound, demonstrating her ability to transform the messiest feelings into something beautifully haunting. Buckle up as she invites listeners into her world, one that lingers long after the last note fades.
