<p>Florida-based artist BankrollShell stands out amongst a new generation of artists with recent release </p>
<p>Born in Sasebo, Japan, raised in Jacksonville, Florida, Shelton R. Jackson III, aka BankrollSHELL stands out amongst a new generation of artists. Displaying his creative ability as early on as eight years old, the artist found comfort and solace in expressing himself through writing. His writing led to the pathway and birth of his debut single “Cross Roads,” released on January 20th, 2019. The single connected with an instantaneous fanbase recognizing the artist's incredible writing ability articulated in clever and at times soulful lyrics. Following up on the successful release of “Cross Roads,” the artist released the singles “My Turn,” on February 1st, 2020, and “Smoke,” on May 1st, 2020. A music video was released for the single “My Turn,” to YouTube on March 8th, 2020. Both singles were released in advance to the anticipation of the E.P “Blitz’d Emotions,” released on June 14th, 2020. The singles and E.P were met with critical and fan acclaim. Hip Hop Weekly has described the artist and his music as something “that will positively inspire a generation to the next level of music.” </p>
<p>Currently, the artist is promoting the recent release of the singles “Rock Out” released on August 14th, 2020, and “Better Off,” released on September 11th, 2020. A music video is ready to be released to YouTube for the single “Better Off,” in October, 2020. Both singles are from the upcoming yet to be titled E.P set to be released sometime in 2021. </p>
<p>With a fascinating message in his music that sparks inspiration, healing, and sheds light on social issues, BankrollShell is contributing to the voice of a generation. He hopes that his music helps to not only give this generation something to say but a way of being heard. His latest singles “Rock Out,” and “Better Off,” are currently on demand via Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming services. </p>

1. Where are we talking from today?<br/>
<br/>
A. I am currently living and working in Nashville, TN. I have lived in this area for over 6+ years.<br/>
<br/>
2. What would you like to accomplish in 2019?<br/>
<br/>
A. I started this year with utter determination to release an EP/album of really any genre, just to dedicate my life music. I have a passion for hip-hop and alternative rock and made a commitment to get at least one of many projects publicly distributed. As of September 2019, I have sent a 6 song hip-hop/rap EP, called “The 3-2-4 Mixtape”, for commercial distribution through Amuse. I would like to finish the year promoting this record heavily and reaching the largest potential audience imaginable.<br/>
<br/>
3. What is your take on politics?<br/>
<br/>
A. My take on today’s political climate is based on what I see in the real world. Generally speaking, I think the American people are not being told the full gravity of some situations such as global warming and being oversold on other issues such as gun control. As a former college student hailing from a small town raised in a medium-income family; I can tell you that there’s a large group of young people that are struggling with personal debt. I will flat out tell you that I do not agree with what’s happening at the border, as that’s more of a humanitarian issue.<br/>
<br/>
4. Where did you get your artist name from?<br/>
<br/>
A. Back in 2017, I remember telling my girlfriend at the time that I was going to take my hip hop aspirations more seriously and that I needed a name. I thought about where I worked, which was at Bird scooter company. My name is Brandon. So viola!<br/>
<br/>
5. Growing up, how important has music been in your life? Can you recall the moment when you decided that you wanted to be a musician? Was it an easy or difficult choice to make?<br/>
<br/>
A. Music took to me as a child as birds take to the sky. I was never really especially talented, but I spent everyday idolizing the gods of performing arts: David Bowie, Prince, Gaga, James Brown, Jackson...people that were music personified. I remember buying the first guitar that I bought with my own money, and life never was the same. I couldn’t even play the thing but would put on “shows” in my bedroom. In high school I started project after project, band after band, trying to get people to work with me on becoming great. Nothing came out of it but the drive to keep going till it happens. All along the way, I learned new skills such as producing and new styles. Music isn’t a choice for me. To quote Jack Nicholson quoting John Lennon in the departed: “Give me a tuba and I’ll get something out of it”. If I never make a dollar from music it’s still my lifeblood and I can’t ignore it. I tried. I have a degree in mechanical engineering, and I still call myself a musician first. I don’t remember any specific moment where I decided to dedicate my life to music, but I do remember being down on my luck and watching one of Tai Lopez’s “motivation videos” and him saying “your purpose is you childlike curiosity for any particular subject”. For me it is music.<br/>
<br/>
6. Was there ever a time when you thought about doing something else? If you weren’t a musician today, what could you see yourself doing?<br/>
<br/>
A. I have a degree in mechanical engineering cause I thought for a very long time that engineering was my path. Sometimes I still do, and my resume is still out there. But that’s only because my mom and dad wanted me to have a plan other than my dream as a musician. I mean it’s not like I got through engineering school without having some interest in the subject, but always when I should have been studying I was listening to beats or writing lyrics. I still could see my self as some freelance engineering trying to build the first iron man suit, but it’s not me to be in the office fetching coffee.<br/>
<br/>
7. What has been the biggest surprise so far about making music your career? What has been an unexpected or welcome challenge to it all?<br/>
<br/>
A. I wouldn’t call it a surprise, but it shocked me sort of to learn how bigger labels acquire talent and how the whole commercial album production process goes. You start reading about all the big names that had been in the music industry forever but didn’t make it big till they producing material for themselves. Not everyone starts in the garage handing out demos on the street. A lot of these guys have been writing for other people for years. Sometimes for me, that translates that getting your foot in the door is a matter of luck more than anything and it can be a while before someone worth mentioning hears your song.<br/>
<br/>
8. What was it like putting together your EP?<br/>
<br/>
A. After you been writing/playing music for a while, you kind of get this attitude that no matter how it sells, I’m going to have fun and be true to myself. I’ve written at least a hundred songs that’ll never be heard, but happy to play to friends to family if I can remember them. Putting together my current record is no different. If it gets a 1000 commercial plays I’ll be happy, cause it’ll always mean more to me than anyone else. It’s my hard work on display, and I love the piss and vinegar as much the reward.<br/>
<br/>
9. Who are some of your favorite artists or rather, what musicians have continued to inspire you and your music? Who would you still love to work with in the future?<br/>
<br/>
A. My favorite artist at the moment is Chance the Rapper. Going through his catalog I’ve found that he adores the opportunity he’s been given and is determined to get his message out there, which is “life is God”. I believe Hip hop was meant to tell a story and all the greats are good storytellers. My idols are Jay-z, Biggie, Rakim, Ghostface...they taught me how to keep faith, keep my head up, and make money. I would love to work with any of today’s greatest storytellers including Chance the Rapper and J-Cole<br/>
<br/>
10. What has it been like keeping up with your social media accounts and all of the different platforms? Is it hard to stay up to date on it all? What would you say is your favorite way to connect with your fans now?<br/>
<br/>
A. For me keeping up with the socials is the hardest part of it all. As a painter all you want to do is paint, and let the auction house be in charge of putting it on display. I understand the importance of reaching out to fans and keeping up with the chatter, and I do my best. However, for me, it’s more like if you leave a message or a comment regarding a song I will send you a heartfelt reply of thanks and keep it moving. I need to work on engaging fans in a manner that makes them look forward to my future work. Right now my best method of communication is Facebook and Instagram.<br/>
<br/>
11. If you were going to be stranded on a deserted island, what musical item would you take with you and why?<br/>
<br/>
A. A guitar of some sort would be nice. I could record a catalog's worth of serenades while slowly dying on the beach.<br/>
<br/>
12. If your music was going to be featured on any TV show that is currently on right now, which would you love it to be on? Or if you prefer, what is a movie that you love that you wish your music was featured in?<br/>
<br/>
A. Eh, I don’t watch a lot of TV but 50 cent’s Power has a lot of hype. Maybe the huddle song for an NFL team, I dunno.<br/>
<br/>
13. At the end of the day, what do you hope people take away from your music?<br/>
<br/>
A. I just want the world to see me for what I am and what that is is a songwriter. Maybe even a pretty prolific one at that. As far as my message: Be yourself, and speak on what you know. If all you know is bad relationships, sing songs about bad relationships. If all you know is God, sing songs about God.<br/>
<br/>
14. When you are not making music what else do you enjoy to do?<br/>
<br/>
A. Can’t help to ride a scooter now and then. And I will always enjoy writing and watching other musicians perform.<br/>
<br/>
15. Where you @ online?<br/>
<br/>
A. You can find Scooty B Cruzin on Instagram, Facebook, Bandcamp, Reverbnation, And Twitter. I have releases on Apple Music and Spotify.<br/>

1. Where are we talking from today?<br></br>
<br></br>
A. I am speaking from my musical haven so to say- GrindCity Studios, located 25- 30 minutes outside of Atlanta, Georgia.<br></br>
<br></br>
2. What would…
<br/>

<br/>
1. Where are we talking from today?<br/>
<br/>
A. I am speaking from my musical haven so to say- GrindCity Studios, located 25- 30 minutes outside of Atlanta, Georgia.<br/>
<br/>
2. What would you like to accomplish in 2019?<br/>
<br/>
A. My original goal for 2019 was to release an album every quarter. However, various circumstances did not allow for me to release an album for the first quarter, so I amended my goal to just releasing great music that connects to the<br/>
movements of today. Music that speaks to both political and social actions; socioeconomics; freedom and justice<br/>
<br/>
3. What is your take on politics?<br/>
<br/>
A. Politics are the main resources and tools that people have readily accessible. There is a dire need for more children to be aware and groomed indefinitely to speak, on their right(s) and use of their right in the political shaping of this country- the world. Many little ones want to grow up to be the next great rapper or ballplayer and don’t get me wrong these are great aspirations as well, but we also need to do a better job of exposing our young people to other ways to become agents of change.<br/>
<br/>
4. Where did you get your artist name from?<br/>
<br/>
A. Nemesi wasn’t my first choice lol! I was a combat medic in the United States Army and while I was stationed in Europe, I was called The Love. I originally went by B - Love lol while I was doing music with other groups. However, when I left Germany I decided to change my name and I found my calling so to speak in 1992. Racially charged things from growing up in Mississippi (where I’m from) inspired my voice and lead me to seek out an artist<br/>
name that would connect to the messages and flow that I was and am focused on delivering. So back to my name Nemesi lol! Long story short- Nemesi came in 1992 and was adapted from the female Greek goddess Nemesis. Nemesis is known as the goddess of vengeance and would dole out rewards for noble acts<br/>
and punishment for the opposite; she kept the balance between retribution and vengeance. Since Nemesis was a Greek goddess, I decided to drop the “s” and keep the meaning.<br/>
<br/>
5. Growing up, how important has music been in your life? Can you recall the moment when you decided that you wanted to be a musician? Was it an easy or difficult choice to make?<br/>
<br/>
A. Music is very important! It has been constant in every aspect; more constant than people. Growing up you could label me an introvert. I was the kid that would run to my room and read various magazines about music and listen to popular artists<br/>
of that time. I was also the kid that didn’t know better and would order cassette tapes for 1 cent lol!- you know the ones that were advertised that you could get so many tapes for a penny but you would have to join the club and purchase a cassette at the regular price of $XX.99 for so many years. Man, you’re bringing<br/>
back memories! I remember mom bumping blues and gospel on the weekends through the record player. Mom and Pops had a café where you could play pool, pinball, grab food or just listen to the jukebox. My mom was also very creative and wrote songs. I just remember when music was playing it was always good;<br/>
the best of life for the family you know parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, etc.! <br/>
<br/>
A. I’ve always tampered around with creating music and/or entertaining from an early age. As a teenager, I would dabble in writing and talent shows; that continued on and off for several years. I got serious when leaving Germany in 1992- I began to see the impact of lyrics and music on people from groups or<br/>
artists such as Big Daddy Kane, NWA, KRS 1, LL Cool J, Poor Righteous Teachers (I really liked them), Ice Cube, James Brown, Nina Simone, just to name a few. As an artist, I felt a sense of responsibility to the craft!<br/>
<br/>
A. I didn’t choose to pursue music as a career per se but instead chose music as a way to release my mind and voice my inner-most expressions. The Persian Gulf War added so much more depth and contrast to my creativity. I remember being<br/>
in a circle of talented soldiers like Tony Cooper and Eric Wright the rapping duo forming the conscious rap group “Combined Force”. Also writing music for Preston Holloway and R &B group “New Arrivals”. We had an audience that was interested in hearing us perform even in the middle of a war. I just stayed<br/>
consistent in writing and developing the craft; it wasn’t until years later that I realized that I had already created a body of work that rivaled other industry artists.<br/>
<br/>
6. Was there ever a time when you thought about doing something else? If you weren’t a musician today, what could you see yourself doing?<br/>
<br/>
A. Of course- I did and had to. I married at 19 and needed to provide so I went into the military as a combat medic. But I still was writing/creating and keeping the passion alive.<br/>
<br/>
A. If I wasn’t an artist today, then I would be an educator in the fields of political science, African- American Culture/Studies. Something along those lines.<br/>
<br/>
7. What has been the biggest surprise so far about making music your career? What has been an unexpected or welcome challenge to it all?<br/>
<br/>
A. When you hear people reciting something you created that resonates with them. I have a friend, Dornell, who I’ve known since 1995. When Dornell hears the music to some of my earlier works, he will begin reciting the lyrics! That is huge for me.<br/>
To know that I have created various bodies of works such as (Looking 4 A Peace, Motion Picture, and my latest album Concentrated Vibes, etc...) that people can connect to, vibe to, and it stays with them/elevates them.<br/>
<br/>
A. An unexpected or welcomed challenge is creating something that my kids can listen to or look at and be proud of. I am conscience about my lyrics not just as words but the meaning. I know that my children have respect for my work because of how they address their friends. If friends of theirs want to connect with me as a mentor, to provide guidance, or to record, they tell them don’t come to my dad with some f*cked up/disrespectful sh*t because he is not having it.<br/>
<br/>
8. What was it like putting together your EP?<br/>
<br/>
A. This particular time- with The Concentrated Vibes album, it was a very different and very exciting approach for me. I was able to get with a producer- Mr. Frank Lovejoy, who plays different instruments and creates different sounds. Mr. Lovejoy uses his generational era to enlighten and emphasis various things;<br/>
every song was created out of the initial emotional connection to the essence of hearing the music for the first time. Whatever came when the music was played is what was captured.<br/>
<br/>
9. Who are some of your favorite artists or rather, what musicians have continued to inspire you and your music? Who would you still love to work with in the future?<br/>
<br/>
A. Let's see…I will have to say that I am inspired by the musical styles of Michael Jackson and Sade. The way that they packaged their messages and presented them to the audience is awe-inspiring. Others like Rakim- I used to recite Paid In Full, Doug E. Fresh- The Show, Public Enemy, and Chuck D, KRS 1, Ice Cube,<br/>
Tupac. These artists were some of the ones that I connected with because they were conscience of the struggle during their time and they kicked knowledge through their lyrics; goes back to packaging.<br/>
<br/>
A. Hands down, Ice Cube and Chuck D!<br/>
<br/>
10. What has it been like keeping up with your social media accounts and all of the different platforms? Is it hard to stay up to date on it all? What would you say is your favorite way to<br/>
connect with your fans now?<br/>
<br/>
A. I recognize that social media is what’s popping right now to meet your target audience and attract a new audience. For this to occur, I need to stay on top of the evolution of these platforms. Right now, I’m dealing with an issue around my intellectual property because there was a mishap that caused the<br/>
website to go down on the day of the album release. In one word, challenging lol!<br/>
<br/>
A. Social media is good, but I like social events to build<br/>
rapport/relationships/networking in the form of connections. I like to support and be supported.<br/>
<br/>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span></span><br/>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Where are we talking from today?</span><br/> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. I am from Chicago originally but Florida currently has my heart.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. Where did you get your artist name from?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. Well, I went through maybe 3-4 name ideas but I ultimately went with the name I was born with, Dahshanae. It felt the most right and really further pushed the motive of truly showing my audience who I am.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. Music wise what are you working on right now? Are you currently promoting a single or album?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. I just finished working on my first mixtape, "Relapse" and it is truly my most personal project yet. "Relapse" will be available on all platforms June 17th and the first single and visual from the project, "R.I.A" will be out April 19th followed by a few more really amazing releases so I'm very excited about it. I found my sound while writing this project. I learned so much about myself and what is and isn't love through this project. More importantly, I learned how to accept my flaws and to take everything that I've learned to make better decisions in life and hopefully be a beacon for others that hear this project and relate to it in some way to help them understand that repeated behavior will have the repeated results. </span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. I would say who inspired me most was definitely Janet Jackson and Beyoncé. I was literally 4 years old staring at my TV studying Janet Jackson's music video choreography until I had it completely down packed. Same with Beyoncé as I got older. I've just always been obsessed with their confidence, their creativity, their drive. Everything they did was completely genius and legendary and I think myself as well as many girls growing up saw that as an example of true brilliance. When I got more so into my teens, I got into Erykah Badu and fell in love with her voice and her vision. I would say I definitely look up to so many strong women that inspire me to be the artist that I am today.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. Who are your favorite musicians?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. I love so many artists and I'm always finding new ones to add to the already long list of my favs but off the top of my head, I'd say Jessie Reyez, Mickey Shiloh, Chloe X Halle, Jhene Aiko, Erykah Badu, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande.</span><br/>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6. What have been the greatest challenges/frustrations of your career so far?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. My greatest challenges have definitely been feeling unsure of myself and allowing others to make me feel unsure of myself when I am confident in something. I'm a Libra so I'm already very indecisive by nature so getting to a point where I'm completely happy with something can be a long process and can become an even longer process when I have other people in my ear telling me they don't like something I do and that I should do this instead than someone coming behind them and saying they don't like that. I kind of had to come to the realization that not everyone is going to like everything I do and no matter how hard I try, you simply can not please everyone. I had to give myself a mini pep one day and tell myself that I got this and to just go with my gut and that has definitely helped me overcome some of my self-doubts.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7. As a musician, what is your definition of success?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. Being a musician, many people would say success is selling out shows, getting a #1 on Billboard, and having millions of dollars. Don't get more wrong, I think those things can play a factor in the look of success but I'm more worried about the feel of success. Being able to connect with your audience through your music is huge to me because there are so many people around the world going through things and always have that feeling that it's just them feeling crappy or low key weird or whatever is it. With my music I want my audience to see that they are not alone so people messaging me or coming to my shows saying that one of my songs made them feel better about their situation or made them feel empowered then that means true success to me.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8. What is your idea of perfect happiness?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. My idea of perfect happiness is being able to create art. Rather it's music, visuals, performances, paintings, etc. As long as I'm creating freely and being able to fully express myself through my art, that is the definition of a happy Dahshanae. Well...that and food.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">9. What is your present state of mind?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. My present state of mind is solely on making my mark. I remember seeing something Left Eye from TLC said in an interview and it really stuck with me. She said that if you can see something you want in your head clear as day, then it is possible. When you believe in it, It starts manifesting into reality. For me, always believing in myself and keeping the doubters far away from my creative thought process and execution is key.</span><br/>

</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10. What is your most treasured possession?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. My most treasured possession is hands down my laptop. I feel like my entire life is on it so I'm super protective over it. You can take away my entire studio but as long as I got my laptop, I'm good.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">11. What do you enjoy doing most?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. I enjoy being in my studio from sun up to sun down just writing. For my "Relapse" project, in particular, I really freestyle many of the songs and now it is probably one of my favorite ways to create. You never really know what you're going say so sometimes the melody is everything but I have to go in a switch a few words around and sometimes the melody and the lyrics just fit so perfectly that I leave it alone so it's a pretty interesting process for me.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">12. Where would you like to be in 10 years’ time?</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A. In 10 years, my only real goal is to be happy and to continue to make music that makes people feel human and inspire them to be unapologetic.</span><br/>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br/>
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">13. Where you @ online?</span><br/>

He states that he "started doing music as an outlet for depression early in life. I wasn't very popular in school and I was considered a latchkey kid due to my mother's work schedule and my father's battles with alcoholism." On a teacher's suggestion to find extracurricular activities, Brandon joined the choir. He finished the eighth grade with a determination to elevate his understanding of music and succeed with his own music. </span><br/>

He has played with Earth, Wind & Fire and performed at some of Chicago’s most notable venues including the UIC Pavilion and the House of Blues. Brandon has also earned a degree in music performance and business from the Columbia College of Chicago.

<div><p>Bradley A. Lovell was born on the tiny slice of paradise, Barbados. Known by his artist name, KnB, Bradley is a legitimate child of the eighties whose biggest musical inspirations are rap legends Nas and Tupac Shakur.</p>
<p>Bradley possesses a personality and musical style that are just as distinctive and magnetic as his home country. It was in St. Maarten where his musical interest was ignited and some of his early childhood was spent learning to play the drums. His musical skills were further developed in the Cayman Islands, where he performed in his school’s orchestra and later in two musically diverse bands (a swing jazz band and a steel pan band).</p>
<p>That young performer has now evolved into the rap artiste/songwriter, KnB. KnB’s music is both free and captivating, often touching on a myriad of social issues and themes that resonate with listeners. The songs can be as serious as Bradley’s deepest thoughts or as playful as his everyday demeanor; “I believe in portraying an honest reflection of yourself, being authentic and doing what feels right. So, whether I’m taking the listener on a journey of pain and triumph, a journey of chasing dreams or simply celebrating the joys of life, I want listeners to enjoy and be inspired by what they hear.”</p>
<p>Bradley has a strong drive for success. This drive is a reflection of his idol’s boxing legend Muhammed Ali, whose desire to be the Greatest brought him not only immeasurable personal and professional success but also global recognition. Bradley hopes to repeat this success by being a motivator for others with his life story and aims to inspire greatness in all who come into contact with him.</p>

<br/>
1. Where are we talking from today?<br/>
<br/>
I'm in hometown Bronx, New York as of right now.<br/>
<br/>
2. Since you live in New York did you go see the ball drop for New Years?<br/>
<br/>
NOBODY thats from New York, goes to see the Ball Drop LOL! .. I have never been like most New Yorkers.<br/>
<br/>
3. Why did you rebrand yourself and your artist name?<br/>
<br/>
I felt like it was time for change, I changed my circle around me, my energy and even my sound along with it because I felt it was time to due so. Look at the time we living in EVERYTHING around us has changed. I wanted to appeal more.<br/>
<br/>
4. Do you keep up with politics and what is your take on it currently?<br/>
<br/>
I wouldn't say I keep up with politics but I am well aware of whats going on in this world as I said, "Look at the time we living in." It doesn't shock me to see what's going on with Trump and the way he has been going with things. I try to limit my opinions because that is not my platform. I do vote and make sure I stay aware of whats going on in the media and with our government.<br/>
<br/>
5. What artists are you listening to right now?<br/>
<br/>
I have been listening to alot of Gunna, Lil Baby ... Drake always stays in my playlist LOL! ; 21 Savage a lot of Young Jeezy too even though its been a minute since we got something new, but I love to go back, dig in the crates!<br/>
<br/>
6. Name 1-2 highly influential musicians that you listen to & respect?<br/>
<br/>
I gotta say Drake & Gunna .. Let me cheat and add Kanye in to there too Drake and Ye gotta make up man music need it.<br/>
<br/>
7. When it comes to how the music enthusiast listens to your album do you prefer they buy or stream and why?<br/>
<br/>
I believe a fan that actually goes out and buy is a TRUE believer in your craft and a appreciator of music because that's the old fashion way of doing things versus paying that 10$ a month and streaming whatever. Both are respectively great ways of support so as long as the fans are getting what they want I don't care how they get it.<br/>
<br/>
8. Do you have an album/EP out now that readers should check out or are you about releasing singles?<br/>
<br/>
On my Soundcloud "Ki-On" I have a total of three projects and a couple singles/freestyles up but I have so much more coming in the works as we speak.<br/>
<br/>
9. Music wise, what are you working on?<br/>
<br/>
Right now im gear to release the very delayed LOL! but worth waiting for Album of mine HEFE, which in translation means Boss. I will soon be dropping my New Single "What I Like" so just stay on the lookout.<br/>
<br/>
10. Do you have any plans to tour?<br/>
<br/>
Yes, soon as the album is released stay tuned to my Social Media accounts to find out about any upcoming dates and appearances that are set to come.<br/>
<br/>
11. When you are not making music what else do you enjoy to do?<br/>
<br/>
When i'm not making music I am listening to music, cooking, and Binge watching Greenleaf on Netflix LOL!<br/>
<br/>
12. Where you @ online?<br/>
<br/>
You can follow my instagram account @TalkAboutKi .. My SoundCloud : Ki-On .. as well as Facebook : Just Simply Ki-On Matthews.<br/>

DJ Ready Red Hip Hop Workshop | A Great Day in Hip Hop - Celebrating the legacy of DJ Ready Red<br/>
<br/>
DJ Ready Red :: One Of The Founding Members of Houston’s Geto Boys. RED was the Geto Boys’ first DJ and producer. He gave them their sound. He was responsible for most of the production on the early stuff and all of the production on Willie D's first album, Controversy. -- "To say he was a pioneer would be an understatement. Red was before his time. There’s a lot of producers today that are eating off of Red and don’t even know why their bellies are full.” --- Willie D<br/>
<br/>
One of the flagship artists on Rap-A-Lot Records, the Geto Boys rose to prominence with their 1988 debut Making Trouble before adding Scarface and Bushwick Bill for 1989’s Grip It! On That Other Level, 1990’s The Geto Boys and 1991’s groundbreaking We Can’t Be Stopped.<br/>

Where are we talking from today? I am at my studio apartment in the west Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California.<br/> <br/> 2. How is 2018 treating you so far? It has been an intense year to be honest... I just made a big decision to quit my job as an educator (I worked in schools with kids for my whole life until this past June) and move to LA to pursue my yoga teaching and music career. So far, 2018 has been full of change... good changes for sure because it means more time for me to focus on my two greatest passions, although it definitely feels a little weird to not be working with kids anymore and has been a challenge financially. Essentially, this year marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I am just getting started on this next adventure.<br/> <br/> 3. How did you get involved in music? My mom made my brothers and I take piano lessons when we were younger, and I am forever grateful for that. I stuck with it for a while, quit, came back to it, and played clarinet in the band/jazz band throughout middle school and high school. I picked up the guitar in high school and took lessons for a little while from an awesome teacher. Also, I grew up in Nashville, TN, so I have always loved a wide variety of music and was surrounded by it constantly. The school I went to (University School of Nashville) for 13 years had a number of amazingly talented students that were musicians as well, some of them touring right now. We had music nights where artists like Bela Fleck would come and perform in our auditorium, and a lot of my friends were in bands or involved in music. I dabbled in songwriting and performing a little bit in high school and in college, and I always loved listening to music and going to live shows. <br/> <br/> 4. When did you make music a priority? About 5 years ago, I revisited my songwriting and had a friend tell me I should go play at an open mic night. It sounded terrifying, and it was...my first open mic night was so scary and horrible, but I had a great group of friends come out and support me. My voice was trembling, my fingers were shaking when I played, and being onstage was out of my comfort zone. However, something in me told me I should keep trying and keep practicing my craft. This year, I released my first album, <i>A Thousand Dreams</i>, in March, and I am very proud of this collection of songs. I worked closely with producer Christopher Krotky for a little over a year, and he is really amazing at what he does... I feel very grateful to have gotten the chance to work with him. I had been feeling really burned out with my school job this past year, and music had always been a side project. Now I am making it more of a priority, which for me meant coming to LA where there are more opportunities to be heard, to network, and to collaborate as an artist. <br/> <br/> 5. What inspires you daily to write & record music? I am inspired when I go out to hear live music for sure, and it's great to now be in a city where there is constant inspiration from fellow musicians and songwriters (there is always a live show to attend) and people following their creative dreams. I absolutely love music... I make playlists for my yoga classes, I listen to it, and it's cathartic for me to play piano, guitar, and ukulele. Songs come when they come, and I go through creating phases where I might be writing a lot or phases where I focus more on practicing so that I can have a solid stage performance. Singing is something that really feeds my soul as well.... it's just in my nature to want to create music. <br/> <br/> 6. Name 1-2 highly influential musicians that you listen to & respect? My biggest influence when I initially started composing my own music was Tori Amos, and I still have so much respect for her. She is an incredible pianist, and what she does with her songs is so unique and different...her album "Little Earthquakes" changed my life for sure. It inspired me to start creating my own music. Radiohead is the other artist that I absolutely love and respect because what Thom Yorke is doing with his bandmates is also so unique... each album has its own character, and it's amazing to hear what they are doing now compared to their first record, Pablo Honey. I still love all of their albums, and the musical landscapes that they create are absolutely mesmerizing, full of intricate sounds, ambient guitar, and really interesting chord progressions. They are also incredible live performers.<br/> <br/> 7. When it comes to how the music enthusiast listens to your album do you prefer they buy or stream and why? This is a good question... honestly, I love it when I am able to sell a CD because the purchaser is directly contributing to my art. I also feel that since they are buying a physical copy of the album that they really want to listen to it. However, I think these days it's also important to have lots of plays/listens on Spotify... all of this is new to me, so I may have a different answer for this question in a year or two. <br/> <br/> 8. Do you have an album/EP out now that readers should check out or are you about releasing singles? My album,<i> A Thousand Dreams,</i> is available on Spotify, Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, and Soundcloud... I'm happy for people to listen to it wherever they wish. I also just released a live in studio recording of a new song called "Beautiful Ride" that was previously unreleased... it is on YouTube.<br/> <br/> 9. Music wise, what are you working on? Right now, I am finishing up writing a couple of new songs and have been writing a lot on the electric guitar, which I got in February. I have also been playing around with vocal looping. Honestly though, the majority of my focus right now is on putting together shows in Los Angeles, playing open mic nights, and trying to network with people in order to get myself heard and the songs out into the world. This involves really practicing at home to fine tune my live performances and also busking in the streets at times, which is a new experience for me. It's not ideal, but it's a good way to make extra cash, especially since I just moved here.<br/> <br/> 10. Do you have any plans to tour? Right now, I have no specific plans, but I would love to do a tour. At this point, I think I would ideally like to be an opening act for another band or artist that is already touring. Eventually, I would love to book my own tour for sure, but I have to focus on one thing at a time.<br/> <br/> 11. When you are not making music what else do you enjoy to do? Well, I am also a yoga instructor, and I practice every day in addition to teaching at some local studios. I recently released a unique and beautiful music video on YouTube for my song, "Paper Moon," which is me doing my yoga practice in a white leotard with a black background. I also enjoy nature and doing outdoor activities, such as hiking, rock climbing, and going to the beach. I haven't gone on a good hike since moving here because I've been so busy, but I'm excited to check out trails in Topanga and Malibu sometime soon, both of which I've heard have some beautiful areas.<br/> <br/> 12.

He finished the eighth grade with a determination to elevate his understanding of music and succeed with his own music.</span></h3>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Chicago r&b artist Brandon James had a great year in 2017. The success of his album “The Divine Collection” released last fall and the followed success of his single “Love Rising,” has put him center stage as one of Chicago’s leading independent acts. Now Brandon looks to build upon that success with the upcoming single release "There She Goes." The single is set for release on August 3rd, 2018, with advanced copies available on Amazon Music as of July 11th, 2018. The release will also feature the single "Love Rising," released as a single in music video format only earlier this year. Links have been provided for the public and media to view the video for "Love Rising." Radio and media can receive a copy of the video or E.P's audio per request.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Chicago native Brandon James was born "Brandon James Foster". He states that he "started doing music as an outlet for depression early in life. I wasn't very popular in school and I was considered a latchkey kid due to my mother's work schedule and my father's battles with alcoholism." On a teacher's suggestion to find extracurricular activities, Brandon joined the choir. He finished the eighth grade with a determination to elevate his understanding of music and succeed with his own music.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Constantly challenging himself to become better at his craft, he has taken voice lessons from Bobby Wilsyn, Ars Musica, and Andrew Schultze. He has played with Earth, Wind & Fire and performed at some of Chicago’s most notable venues including the UIC Pavilion and the House of Blues. Brandon has also earned a degree in music performance and business from the Columbia College of Chicago. Forever seeking to share his story and testimony, Brandon seeks to inspire, touch hearts and provoke thought with his music.</span></div>
