Chad Future releases "Like That" - Official Music Video

Since debuting in 2012, American K-Pop artist Chad Future has continued to experiment and blur the boundaries of K-Pop. Blending a colorful palette of different styles, cultures, and inspirations effortlessly into a sound uniquely reflecting his own style.

“Like That” marks his latest comeback, a silky R&B song with elements of vibrant hip-hop, and melodic Y2K pop hooks. Co-written by Multi-Platinum K-Pop hitmaker SQVARE, who has penned over 200 #1 songs worldwide, including chart topping songs for NCT, EXO, TWICE, Enhypen, and many more.

Seamlessly Incorporating both Korean and English lyrics across a bouncing energetic trap beat, the result is a song that’s refreshing and surprisingly feel good.

Detroit born recording artist Chad Future is a chart-topping singer, rapper, and music producer, with an impressive career spanning multiple genres and over 600 Million views. Best known for his music in the ever-changing K-Pop industry, Chad has received recognition globally for his song and video collaborations together with some of Korea’s biggest idols.

A self-taught musician who got his start at a young age writing his own lyrics and recording in his bedroom, inspired by the Motor City’s rich cultural heritage and growing up surrounded by the sounds of Motown Soul, Detroit Techno, and witnessing the explosion of local artists like Eminem during the early 2000s, Chad felt a powerful creative spark that fueled his pursuit of the arts and entertainment.

Chad Future officially debuted as an American K-Pop solo artist with his bilingual single "Hello", featuring both Korean and English languages. He quickly amassed a large following by posting his English remixes of popular K-Pop songs, as well as collaborating with popular Korean artists and producers on his original music.

He has released several albums which have appeared on the Apple Music and Spotify music charts, which are widely regarded as the first American K-Pop crossover projects, featuring Korean rapper RAVI of the group VIXX, Aron of NU'EST, HA SUNG WOON, DEAN, and many more.

AWO AYO "High on Life" - Official Music Video Awo Ayo is a Nigerian/Liberian Afrobeats artist. Video shot in Brooklyn, NY and directed by @vjoneofficial. Dances and choreography by @JudithMcCarty.

Taorid Akinola, better known by his stage name, Awo Ayo, has come a long way, both physically and metaphorically. This up-and-coming artist has been rocking the musical scene of West Africa, the US, and the rest of the world with his innovative style, which he modestly dubs Afro-Dancehall. Juxtaposing a classic Afrobeat rhythm with dancehall vibes, Awo Ayo crafts a unique, and highly exciting new sound.

And as with many a great artist, his fresh approach to music is rooted largely in his complex and fascinating life experience. Originating from Nigeria, Awo Ayo realized he wanted to be a musician from a very early age. Yet it wasn’t until he moved to Liberia, following his father’s passing, that his dream began to take shape. A journey in more ways than one, the road to Liberia was slow and winding. Traveling by bus, the artist made several stops along the way, learning, discovering, and experiencing new cultures, people, and of course, vibes.

All of that is reflected in his music. In a world so heavily bent on negativity, Awo Ayo makes a daily effort to infuse his music and online presence with good vibes he picked up along the way. More than just a great set of tunes, his music is an active reminder of the value and power of human connection.

His upcoming single release, ‘High On Life’, blends several styles from across the world. In its creation, the artist worked with multiple producers, to get as colorful a sound as possible with the track set to be the lead single to his upcoming EP ‘Lagos 2 Monrovia’ set to drop in December 2023.

While the music bears traces of and nods to great names in the industry like Drake and Burna Boy, Awo Ayo’s style is ultimately his own, and therein lies its true power. The artist’s main focus is being his most authentic, most genuine self, with the main goal of the music being to reflect Awo Ayo’s own experiences, moving across the world and making music. There is something deeply relatable in this one human’s journey that will no doubt resonate with listeners across the world, from all sorts of backgrounds.

BAD VEINS Releases "WENDY" - written by Benjamin Davis. Directed by Cat Rider.

Ben Davis of Cincinnati, Ohio-based experimental indie-pop band, Bad Veins, is a mad scientist, indie-rock hermit. His happy place is being in his attic creating music with a 1970s Mattel Optigan electronic organ; a megaphone; and a trusty reel to reel recorder he has named “Irene.” It’s been 8 years since Bad Veins has released an album, but today Ben has come down from the attic with a new Bad Veins long player. The band’s third album, Imposter, out December 1st on Dynamite Music, may be his magnum opus.

“I do think it’s the best record I’ve ever made, but there is a reluctance for me to even admit that. I almost believe it’s good,” he laughs. “I am in constant fluctuation back and forth as to whether I want to be a public person, or just keep to myself. I had no career ambitions when I first started Bad Veins. I just enjoyed making music in my attic. So, there is always the feeling of ‘imposter syndrome’ when I have to do music business type things.”

Bad Veins specializes in pop subversion. It’s almost as if Ben hands classic pop songs with, at times, soaring choruses to a fearless soundscape adventurer to have his way with them. Bad Veins songs teem with synthetic woodwinds and choirs, lo-fi hiss, grimy broken-instrument textures, shambolic indie rock guitars, sublime 1980s new wave synths, and ear-worm hooks. Bad Veins lyrics are often non-linear, and almost abstractions of emotions. “When people ask what my songs are about, I ask them what they think they’re about because everyone’s interpretation is as valid as my own,” Ben says.

The cagey artist’s weird-but-well-crafted and indie pop, and his reluctant performer mystique have galvanized fans to form Bad Veins Army battalions all over the internet. There are squads on Reddit, in private Facebook groups, and beyond. The military imagery is no doubt inspired by Ben wearing his father’s army jacket onstage. That jacket has also been immortalized in an image associated with Ken Burns’s Country Music documentary miniseries—the 1970s episode—in which Ben’s father, a Vietnam vet and musician, is photographed in that jacket armed with a rifle and a guitar.

Bad Veins has achieved that rare feat of earning hipster acclaim and mass media appeal. It has been featured in Billboard, Paste, Spin, MTV, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire (“Songs Every Man Should Listen to”), and USA Today (Top 20 songs of the Year). Bad Veins received the "Target Music Maker" Award for “Best Emerging Artist” at the Tribeca Film Festival and was awarded CMJ Breakout Act by CMJ.com. Ben’s music has appeared in television shows such as Queer Eye and Santa Clarita Diet. Bad Veins has toured with Walk The Moon, Two Door Cinema Club, Frightened Rabbit, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and St Lucia.
