Creator to Creators S6 Ep 27 Belle Vex
16 JUL 2024 · Bio:
Born and raised in New Bedford, MA, Belle Vex’s journey into the spotlight was as eclectic as his music. Initially captivated by the allure of acting, he immersed himself in the arts from a young age, exploring the depths of creativity through various instruments, including the cello. However, the universe had other plans, leading him on a tumultuous path marked by unexpected twists and turns.
A move to California in pursuit of an acting career proved fleeting, disrupted by life-altering car accidents that forced Belle Vex to reassess his path. It was during a deep and dark, pivotal moment of introspection that his true calling emerged – music. With unwavering determination, he embraced this new chapter, leaving his dreams behind for the studio, and thus, Belle Vex was born.
Infusing his music with a distinctive blend of “cool,” Belle Vex’s sonic landscape is a reflection of his journey – raw, authentic, and unfiltered. His songs serve as a conduit for personal growth and self-discovery, delving into the depths of desire, resilience, and the human experience with a candidness that is both refreshing and empowering.
Creator to Creators S6 Ep 26 Norman Collins
3 JUL 2024 · By Kurt Beyers- Edited by L Casserly Boomerang BeatTo introduce his new album, Front Porch Philosopher, Norman Collins offers “I Wanna Rule Somebody,” a pure piece of hard-driving, rock guitar and messaging in which the subject is the betrayal of belief and trust.
The album and the single will be released on May 22.
Guitar and a steady, hard fast drum begin, but not just to philosophy’s beat. In this song, we get rock metaphysics. After the rest of the band crashes in, setting the rhythm and harmony of the argument, Norman introduces the subject:
Join my church, I canSave your lifeTake my hand, and I mightWant your wife
The song, and the album, are full of Norman’s brand of progressive Americana. It is a fusion of a lot of different kinds of music —but mainly rock, blues, soul and country — and delivered hot and sweet.
“I Wanna to Rule Somebody” is rock with what he describes as something like “Led Zeppelin goes country punk.”
Oddly, the only tone that might be called “philosophical” is Norman when he’s talking about the album.
What does he want to say about “I Wanna to Rule Somebody” or Front Porch Philosopher
“Well there’s — I hate to brag — but there’s some pretty good guitar playing on there. If people like guitar playing, there’s good solos and,” he pauses, thinks a second, continues, “oh, nice chord changes. And interesting arrangements.”
Which is a sedate, academic way to talk about music that, fast or slow, gets the pulse involved in listening and drives lyrics into heads like nails into walls.
Let me prove, that you Got a soul Join our faith, underMy control
Proposition-conclusion, proposition-conclusion. Drums provide punctuation.
I wanna to rule, rule somebodyI don’t care about who it is
Norman knows his music and, as in “Get Back in the Car,” “What the Cat Dragged In” and “All I Wanted Was Roses,” he also knows how to put a story into lyrics.
Norman has been making music, playing, and touring with a wide variety of musicians and bands since the late ’60s, mainly out of San Francisco, though he was born and raised in St. Louis. He has also lived and worked in Nashville.
Progressive Americana, for him, he says, “has something to do with a little bit of country and blues,” but influenced by much of American music from the last century. That becomes clear as he talks about influences.
“Everybody has the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry as influences,” he said. “But I also like bands like, say, The Lovin’ Spoonful. Nobody seems to mention them much. I like them a lot. I bought every album by them.”
He includes all the English invasion bands, not only the Beatles and the Stones but bands such as the Zombies and the Kinks. He puts in San Francisco bands like Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, Hot Tuna and others.
As he goes on, he comes to people as varied in time and place as Howlin’ Wolf, Sturgill Simpson, Rodney Crowell, BB King, Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, John Lee Hooker, early Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green.
Progressive Americana indeed. His 2023 EP, Something to Say, has almost come to define the term for much of South America.
“Hey Marie,” a single from that album, went close to viral on that continent and in Spain, said Larry Casserly, Norman’s artist manager.
“Due to my flexibility and experience, I enjoy the opportunity to stay busy here on the West Coast” Collins mentions.
The band in Something to Say and Front Porch Philosophers is Norman Collins and the Tumblers.
“I’ve been performing my own songs since I was 28,” he said. “I had a pretty popular band here in San Francisco, The Confessions, back in ’81, and since then I’ve never been out of an original band.Front Porch Philosopher has a mix of old and new material. “I Wanna to Rule Somebody” and others are older tracks redone with a new producer/ arranger, Paul Kraushaar owner of PSR Recording.
“Paul did a great job with these songs. The songs are more aggressive,” said Norman. “The guitar playing is more aggressive, the drums are more aggressive.”
“We are mostly playing festivals and clubs type venues right now, and I’d like to take a step up in that direction” Norman states. “I know this new release will provide for more recognition and a chance to tour more places, larger venues and hopefully attract attention from an Indie label that believes in this music and might be willing to invest in this project,” said Norman.
“This band,” he said, “is ready to go.”
Get ready and go with Norman Collins and the Tumblers and connect on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.
Creator to Creators S6 Ep 25 Sisaundra
26 JUN 2024 · Country is introduced to soaring, old school gospel, with R&B making the introduction,
in “You Remain,” a joyous song of worship from Sisaundra, host of The Sisaundra Show
on AFRO TV.
“You Remain,” released March 5, is worship music that can get believers dancing and
make non-believers wishing they believed.
“It’s a beautiful tapestry of music that my friends and I put together to — of course
—honor God,” said Sisaundra. “It’s basically talking about God, that He remains the
same today, yesterday and forever.”
The song begins in bluegrass as her country self begins with soft, fast drums, guitars,
fiddle and banjo in the background. Then it’s off into joyful music and Sisaundra’s
powerful voice running up and down the scale in three minutes of worship that are
surely pleasing to the ears of God and people.
She and her band, For the Culture, began working on it last year, shortly after she
released another worship song, “Yes (You’d Hear My Mom Say).”
“The music is all live,” she said, “from violins to guitars, from upright bass to steel guitar.
We have amazing singers, amazing players.”
Singer, songwriter and producer, Sisaundra has worked as vocal director and
choreographer for Celine Dion, recorded and performed on stage with artists such as
Peabo Bryson, Janet Jackson, George Duke, Sheila E., Gloria Estefan, Enrique
Iglesias, Patti LaBelle and Najee.
She was on Blake Shelton’s team in season 6 of “The Voice.”
The first single she ever put out, “Shout,” was a No. 1 U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club hit.
Monday through Friday, at 7 p.m. Eastern time — sharp — she hosts The Sisaundra
Show on Comcast Xfinity Channel 1623, streaming on NOW. That’s her regular work,
filming five days a week.
She also has a monthly show, AFROJams, where she hosts some of today’s top artists
as they give live performances.
As she says in the opening of “You Remain,” Sisaundra is a country woman, Southern
born, and in this song, she is presenting her country self to God and the world.
The subject is in the roots of her faith, talking to God, telling him she knows that “You
remain the same.”
“He’s the one thing that we can depend on, the constant that we can depend on,” she
said. “That’s what ‘You Remain’ is about.”
Though the song was written about eight months ago, she said now, the Easter season,
is the proper time to release it.
“Easter is coming up, and it being country at heart, the idea of the song makes the
timing perfect in today’s world.”
Soon, “You Remain” will get its own, exclusive performance on The Sisaundra Show.
“I’m hoping that the song is going to touch the hearts of everyone who hears it,” she
said, “that they will open their hearts to it and that it will bless them.”
Receive the blessing and connect to Sisaundra on all platforms for new music, videos,
and social posts.

https://www.instagram.com/awgiuent
Musician and producer Nate Young—otherwise known as Se7enDigits is set to release his latest
single, “Change Your Mind” on June 3 through his label, AWGIU Entertainment. The single
invites listeners to reflect on the failed communication that often occurs in relationships.
Born in South Korea, Se7enDigits was adopted at age one and raised in Pennsylvania with his
sister. His passion for music began developing early on, inspired by his sister’s participation in
band. By age six, Se7enDigits began to learn the piano and, later on, orchestral music.
For Se7enDigits, music is a means of connection and healing. He brings personal experiences of
pain and struggle into his compositions, which are based in the style of hip hop and R&B.
Se7enDigits cites musical influences including Tory Lanez, J. Cole, and PNB Rock.
Now, Se7enDigits is a multitalented musician and producer with a bachelor’s degree in
Recording Arts and a focus in mixing engineering. The name “Se7enDigits” is both a play on the
digits in a telephone number and a personal experience. When Se7enDigits was younger, he
was teased at school for having seven fingers instead of ten; now, he takes any misinformed
negativity in stride, teasing back with his moniker.

Since his first track in 2019, Penny Taylor has released more than 50 songs, which includes two six-track EPs, a five-track EP and a 16-track album.
With “Cuff,” dropping on June 5, he believes he has found his sound.
He calls it “R&B with an edge.”“‘Cuff’ was my first attempt at writing an R&B song from start to finish with a mainstream appeal to it. It is basically a song expressing the desire to actually be in a relationship with someone, with all the perks that come with that.”
Until “Cuff,” he also hadn’t written a song where the theme is wanting to be in a relationship — to cuff.That said, this song doesn’t have any double entendres.
“No double meanings,” he said, and that applies to the clean, radio cut as well as the explicit one.
Kiss on them lips be how I make you wetter
Crossing the finish we’ll do it together
Body a canvas I’m painting it vivid
Talking is cheap so I paid you a visit
“Cuff is like a slang for getting together. It doesn’t even have to be on a sexual level, it could just be personal, having to do with wanting to set expectations and walk into something official,” he said.In either version, “Cuff” is an easy listening, swinging R&B number in which Penny puts his smooth voice to a soulful melody that is very different from his previous work, which was a lot of streetwise hip-hop and rap — more edge than R&B.
His earlier output had the pounding beats and flow of the street. “Cuff” has the soft, rhythmic melodies of the bedroom and the interaction between lovers.
Penny is a Coloradoan transplanted to Anchorage, Alaska, where he moved to be near family and for opportunity.“I’ve been doing music for a while. I officially started releasing music on platforms with professional engineering, and mixing in 2019, but I was learning myself as an artist, trying to find my lane and what fits me the best, and I think with ‘Cuff’ I found it. This is the version of me that’s ready to be out there worldwide. I regard this as my first official release.”Even in his edgy days, his work had some unique touches. The love-gone-wrong motif of “Favorite,” for instance, also had some Christian themes of forgiveness, which he said is a big part of his music.“I would say my earlier self was more of me having fun being confident and whatever it is that I was trying to do.”But, he said, he turned away from that route in favor of a more R&B vibe“I’m more in touch with the R&B side because it is just so relatable. Everybody goes through some sort of relationship, and things aren’t perfect — ever. I felt like there’s a chance for me to speak on things that may be hard for other people to put into words.”“Cuff” represents yet one more milestone in his career.
“I’m proud to say that I wrote it all myself, and it blows me away that people who have had a chance to hear it are really impressed by the structure and the writing,” he said.
The video also drops on June 5. His previous catalogue, which has a lot of fine hip-hop, will stay up as a kind of history of his music.“Cuff” will be the lead single on another six-track EP he will release sometime in the next year. The working title is The Butterfly Effect.
He is working hard toward his goal of gaining a million listeners by the end of this year or in early 2025. He and his production team spend about six or seven hours on every song, playing with various mixes before mastering, working toward having something to show to big labels.He had a show recently, in May, and will be doing shows throughout June. In October, he will be the headline at one of Anchorage’s premier entertainment clubs, Koots.
He wants his music to reach a mass audience, and, he said, “I want ‘Cuff” to be heard by everyone. I want it to be reached by masses of people. That’s why I put it out in a clean version as well as an explicit one — just giving the option.”
He said that, as an artist, “you have to gravitate toward what you are, who you are.”
And with his sound, he said, “I am ready to grow.”

Gable Burnett’s new song “Trouble” starts off with a bang and takes off from there in a flat dead rocking country run. Her career as a recording artist, beginning with “Trouble,” should follow the same trajectory. “Should” not only because she writes some great music and “should” because she has the talent and the power voice, but “should” because she is working it.The song is clearly country, but rock is also in the mix, in generous measure. She agrees with that opinion to an extent. “I think it’s all subjective at the end of the day. With the rock style instruments we put in there, we have a kind of rockabilly, old school sound, but people who are hardcore into rock and the sub genres of rock might not consider it rock.”
However it might be considered, the music is fun and danceable and the lyrics are fun and listener singable. You will be singing it out loud before you know you’re doing it.
“Trouble,” which she co-wrote with Andi Renfree, who wrote “The Buffalo Grass” for Chris LeDoux, is the first song in this new phase of her career. She has been performing for years, and for the last couple has been putting out music on the streaming platforms, but with new manager Lisa Kyser of Ten East Ten West, she now has direction.
Gable has pulled her previous catalogue and it will be re-released in the distribution plan for her music. Before 2018, she was in opera as part of a studio in Richardson, Texas, and did opera kinds of things, like singing in seven different languages and performing in the Carnegie Hall honors series, where she won some scholarship money.
She participated in National Association of Teachers of Singing competitions “and all this kind of high classical stuff.” “But I really didn’t start trying to figure out what I wanted to do and performing more of what I wanted to do until 2018, when I moved to Nashville. Even though I had that classical background and education, I knew I didn’t want to be a teacher and I knew I didn’t want to sing opera over in Europe, and those are pretty much the only two options you have in that classical path.” Country at first wasn’t in the running for what she wanted to do. She was “messing around with pop and different stuff,” but her family didn’t want her to go to Los Angeles or New York. Family friends connected to the Gatlin Brothers suggested country. “At the time, the main thing was the Florida-Georgia line and a lot of bro country, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but it just wasn’t my style. I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t want that. I don’t want to sing about boots and trucks and blah blah blah.’ And they said, ‘No no no! You’re good. Listen to some Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. Here’s some artists and some songs. Go listen to that and come back.’”
She took the advice.“They were right,” she said. “I love the storytelling aspect. I love the history behind it. I love the culture behind it. I love everything about country music. It ties into so much of my life, where I grew up and everything, that I was taken aback that I hadn’t discovered how wonderful it was sooner.”She paused for a second, thinking about that, then said, “Well, I grew up in a household where I was only allowed to listen to Christian music for years.” She says now her two main inspirations are Dolly and David Alan Coe. She also references The Judds, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette — “all the women who’ve been really big in country music, who’ve come before me and definitely paved the way for me to be able to do what I’m trying my best to do.” When she says “trying,” she means putting in some hard work. “This is basically the start of everything for me,” she said. “I’ve got four jobs, and both my parents helped me, too. I got all these different side hustles just trying to make the dream come true.” She has shows booked in August, more songs ready to put out, “other things in the pipeline that we’re getting pre-recorded to put out after that

- Alayna Bell Price (Costume Designer, 911
In the most recent season of 9-1-1, Alayna got to expand the colors of the series with Bobby and Athena’s characters on a cruise. She worked with hundreds of background actors to establish a light and colorful tone that suddenly shifts once the pirates invade the ship in dark tactical colors. Dealing with water, she also had to design costumes that would look good underwater and still be comfortable for the actors. She also works heavily with aging of the uniforms ensuring they have continuity, including adding blood, ash/soot, mud/dirt and more.
