Hi Kim! We are so excited to get to speak with you! Please let our audience know where you are doing this interview from now?
From my home studio in Miami Beach!
What kind of inspiration does the place you live give to your art?
I am surrounded by the ocean. So, my windows!
How did you end up there and is there a next stop destination for you?
This is my final spot. I am, at the heart of it, an island girl. I love everything about this area; the people, the community, the lifestyle and of course, the weather!
What makes you feel the most secure when you’re creating?
Do I feel secure in my work????? I dream of that day, but it does not stop me from trying! Being creative is fun, but the review of the work by others is, well, challenging!
Your career has gone a wild ride, what was a high and what was a low that you feel comfortable sharing with us?
I have been so blessed with so many highs: singing for the NFL a couple of times, singing for the NBL, being flown to Asia to perform in a huge festival, and to Croatia…to name a few. Releasing my first movie – that was a big big big HIGH. Lows, well, I guess, I still have not made the best hit in the world yet.
How would you describe where you are in your career now?
Still challenging. People are just getting over the Covidness, so touring is still sluggish, and frankly, I really miss it. But it appears I have a European tour coming up in April, so I am super excited about that!
Best ways to keep the momentum in your career?
Keep me warm and at the beach! But, I also love being surrounded by creative people. They really inspire me.
What is the improvement that you’re looking to work on within your career?
To write better. I think I have used all the words I know, and that is just not good enough. I need to keep challenging myself.
You have a really cool project that we’re excited about you talking about, Seapers Powers! Please share the AMAZING news you have about it with your audience!
This is my dream project. It was just picked up as a Dove Original. The Dove Channel has been such a great partner. I could not have gotten more blessed to have found them. What a wonderful network to be associated with for my very first feature film out of the gate. I am excited to work with others in other countries as this movie travels across the globe! And, now, I have begun the second journey…the sequel! Stay tuned!
Any updates on what arena you’re planning on dominating next!
Well, releasing three singles, putting together a Euro tour and producing the second movie…is that enough?
How are you challenging the status quo?
I guess by being a female Director, Producer and Screenwriter all in one!
If you could speed up time would you get where you want to go right now or are you enjoying the journey?
No no no, I think time goes too quickly right now. I am enjoying this journey, let’s take one day at a time please.
What is your mantra as an artist for 2022?
Good question. Never say Never.
What is something that you have taught a peer that you feel really honored to have done?
I actually do not know! I guess, maybe you need to find a peer!
What is something a peer has taught you that you feel honor in learning?
Keep pushing, keep working, never stop.
How are you disconnecting in a world that is always plugged in?
I leave my studio, walk outside and breathe.
When you get back to plugging in, where can fans interact with you?

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

“Do You Still Remember?” by Khynan Rhys turns heartache loss into soulful harmony
At the age of 18, Khynan Rhy, a solo musician and multi-instrumentalist from Northwich, Cheshire, demonstrates exceptional maturity in his songwriting capabilities, indicating a wisdom that transcends his years. His sophomore single, “Do You Still Remember?” is a heart-stirring attestation to his musical aptitude and emotional profundity. It intricately weaves together a sonic narrative that encapsulates poignant lyricism, authenticity, and evocative melodies, effectively exploring the aching nostalgia of separation and longing.
Drawing on a rich palette of influences like Artemas, Daniel Caesar, and Ocean Alley, Khynan crafts a familiar sound and style that is distinctly his own. 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.
What makes “Do You Still Remember?” so captivating is its ability to resonate profoundly, transforming universal themes into specific, relatable experiences. Whether audiences are reminiscing about lost love, the bittersweet pang of first love, or confronting the emotional void left by bereavement, Khynan’s lyrics indeed hit like a gentle nudge to the heart that refuses to shy away from the deep memories of heartbreak, possessing a poetic resonance that endures long after the song ends.
Through this second release, Khynan Rhys establishes himself as an emerging star poised for lasting impact, building upon the initial success of his debut single, ‘Closed Doors.’ He expresses emotional vulnerability that invites audiences to engage with his work. “Do You Still Remember?” offers a moment of introspective reflection on the sorrow of losing someone once deemed irreplaceable, proving that even in our most solitary experiences, music can make us feel less alone.
