Creator to Creators S6 Ep 3 Sienna-Rose Jerak

5/8/2024
Instagram: @siennarosejerak Multitalented musician, actor, and model, Sienna-Rose Jerak is poised for the spotlight with her new single, “You Got Me.” Reflecting on the authenticity of music from the late 90s and early 2000s, Sienna Rose’s single aims at reducing the noise of today’s overstimulated music scene to bring her voice to life.Living across two continents—Sienna Rose is based in both Melbourne, Australia, and Los Angeles, California—the talented Sienna-Rose has a wide range of life experiences to draw from. “I love performing,” shares the young artist. At the age of eight, Sienna Rose added acting to her resume. The multitalented artist also plays the piano! Inspired by 90s’ sensations Brandi, Monica, and Christina Aguilera, Sienna Rose is also passionate about the “Y2K era”—the early 2000s. “It was a great time for young people,” she explains. “I love the 90s/2000s feel more than modern music.” Set to an upbeat, 90s-type instrumentation, “You Got Me” portrays the intricate part of love in which you like someone but you’re not sure if the feeling is mutual. “It’s hot and cold,” shares Sienna Rose. “You’re wrapped up in games and don’t know what to do.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Creator to Creators S6 Ep 2 Influence

5/8/2024
Spotify Instagram Bio Influence has been making hip-hop for a long time, about 25 years, performing in lots of venues and competitions, but he only started pushing his music out to the public last year. “I’m done cooking up the style,” he said. “Now it’s time to put it out.” To kick off the promotion of Influence and the multitude of sounds that characterize his music, he chose “What You Deserve.” “‘What You Deserve’ is basically a hip-hop, R&B kind of dance track. It definitely has an Afro-centric dancehall vibe to it.” Info Black sings the hook and Influence raps the verses. All I need is one night, just give in girl don’t fight it Don’t be scared cause I don’t bite, only if you like Only for tonight, tell me what you like In addition to the hip-hop, R&B and dance, bongos give the Afro beat an island lilt, which Influence attributed to the producer, Majestic Drama. “I’ve heard a lot of those type of beats, and this is, in my opinion, one of the better ones.” He made his first song when he was 16 and really got into it when he was 21. He is 41 now.He has not, he admitted, given it a hundred percent all those years. He has a family and, in addition to music, he is an entrepreneur. “So, you know, music is not the only thing I have going on.” But in the beginning, it was different.“When I first started, of course, I was giving it a hundred percent — selling CDs out the trunk, way back in the day.” Music is back as the main item. “I know that it’s a dream that God put in my heart for a reason. I’ve always believed that I was gonna become successful at music. I think that I’m too talented at it to not be put in that position.” Talent plus work. He never left music entirely. He has performed a lot and his winning competitions include the Uplifting Minds 2 National Talent Competition; The Best In The West 2 Hip Hop Competition; LA’s Next Up Music Showcase; The Showcase Tour; and the Coast to Coast Live Music Showcase. He was a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. He will be an official artist in the Mic Check Wynwood Season 2 in Miami from July 12 to July 15.

Creator to Creators S5 Ep 60 Alli Fitz

4/12/2024
Youtube TikTok Spotify Facebook Twitter Its seldom that a television show can have as profound an impact on society as Euphoria. The popular HBO series has had a stranglehold on this generation's pop culture by inspiring art, collaborations, and most importantly: music. Alli Fitz’s newest track “When We’re Together” was inspired by the series and helps celebrate love and happiness. An accomplished social media star, Alli Fitz achieved viral success early by singing, streaming and doing voiceover work on various social media platforms. Alli has amassed a loyal following of over 10 million fans across various social media platforms and has began shifting her focus towards music full time. Alli’s newest track, “When We’re Together,” is a celebration of her newfound love after being single for an extended period of time. “I have been single for the longest time, and people know one of my relatable posts is about being single, and people can relate to that,” Alli said. “Recently, I got a boyfriend, which is really exciting. I finally decided to write a song about that. Most of my songs are girl-empowering, you don’t need a man and can do it on your own. Now I wanted to switch it up a bit because I got a man, and it is about the feelings I have when I’m with him when we’re together.” She added, “I say that I promise that I’m worth the wait because I’m the girl that you need. It’s really a song for someone who you love.”The process of making a music video was an enjoyable one for her, as Alli had a major say in its creation since she is still independent. A newfound creative control and independence has been spearheaded by her manager, Adrian “Auidi” Vazquez. Auidi is the COO/CFO of NOGXNRE, a decentralized record label based in Los Angeles, CA. Having been featured in publications like Billboard Latino, Auidi’s experience in the Judaic industry has proved invaluable to Alli Fitz’s budding music career. She had the autonomy to choose the director and videographer and was free to do her own makeup and styling.“I got to choose all this and even where the location was,” Alli Fitz said. “It was pretty cool being the boss and the person in front of the camera.” Alli explained that back in the days of MySpace, she would watch other YouTubers singing cover tunes, which inspired her to do the same and turn it into a real career. This newfound career goal happened in 2008 while she lived in Ohio. Alli would post videos of herself in her bedroom singing covers and a spell of popular songs, which garnered her millions of views. She admitted she was a little scared that she wouldn’t get the positive feedback she wanted, but in the end, her success took off quicker than she could have ever expected. “When people started sending me song requests, I was like, ‘Oh my God, they do actually like my voice?’” Alli said. “I started doing musicals in high school, where we just had the town come in. Now it’s like people from all over the world are like, ‘We love your music.’ It’s crazy. I have a cover with Chad Perez that is going viral in China.” She attended Wright State University for musical theater, where she polished up her singing skills. After graduating, Fitz moved to Los Angeles after creating a Vine account that got her more than five million followers and a billion video views. “My dog ended up play-biting me, and everyone thought it was funny. I gained millions of followers from Vine,” she said. “They invited me to the Macy’s Parade, and I got tons of exposure. That’s what got me to LA because all the other Viners were like, ‘Hey Alli, you need to move out here.” Alli said it was such a wild and unexpected feeling to get that kind of acknowledgment. She simply posted an entertaining video, and suddenly people from all over the world were checkingout what she was up to. It was an incredible experience for her, and she has met and collaborated with some of her favorite artists along the way. Alli eventually...

Creator to Creators S5 Ep 59 Hammaz

4/11/2024
Spotify Facebook Instagram “I was able to tap deep into a certain bag, and to be able to put it all together in one project, is like one of the greatest art forms I’ve created over the bodies of works that I did,” Hammaz explained. “I have a personal relationship with PeeWee Kirkland, so I had a couple of sit downs with him. One of the songs on there talks about him and his life.” There are 12 total tracks on the album that also includes “Boss Talk 2,” “End of the Road,” and a song called “Becky, Karen, Susan,” which he said is a little story about three of his favorite teachers. The song “Again,” is one that shows off his range and has GRAMMY written all over it, Hammaz said. “I am really proud of the artistic ability for me to jump from different topics and different subjects, and stay in that pocket,” he said. Hammaz has a versatile style of music, saying that he performs hip-hop most of the time, and is also a great storyteller. “I’m good in each department,” Hammaz. “Some people bounce from topic to topic, but struggle in different areas like storytelling, club songs, or drill music. I think I have an A plus in all those departments. Every day ain’t the same. Every story ain’t the same. Different things happen.” Hammaz was born in Jamaica, but he moved to Delaware when he was eight years old where he lived near the Southbridge projects. He grew up with hardship in his life, but it didn’t discourage him, as it actually motivated him to share his life stories. He knows he’s not the only person who has had hard times, and he hopes his talent can have a major impact on listeners who can commiserate.

Canceled Culture Series Link -Part 1 link - part 2 link - part 3 After show talk about #pdiddy home being raided. Federal agents raided Sean "Diddy" Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged human trafficking. Combs' sons were detained during the raid but released without charges. The searches are part of a federal investigation led by the Southern District of New York.

The lawsuit names Combs, former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre, and an unnamed third defendant. Combs denied the allegations on social media, stating he did not commit the acts. Pierre's attorneys also denied the allegations. Combs' former girlfriend, Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, previously filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of sex trafficking and sexual assault. The investigation is ongoing, and no criminal charges have been filed. The dramatic events have left Combs and his associates fighting to clear their names and defend against the serious allegations.

Creator to Creators S5 Ep 56 PRZNT

3/21/2024
https://www.instagram.com/prezzyplease?igsh=MWRxdHU3OHQ2bnJvdQ%3D%3D&utm_sour https://open.spotify.com/artist/57kVlVXJYheaFNXA91qP4w?si=d4HbrflgTY-1bITfy7tN_A&nd=1&dlsi=aa794398d6b54368 Bio In an industry oversaturdsted with artists looking to mimic others’ successes and aounds, it’s always refreshing to hear consistency and growth and that’s what we got from PRZNT’a debut album Night of the Rose. Anchored by two singles “Or Nah” and “Like Pablo,” PRZNT has already smashed his day one streaming record by amassing over 120,000 streams on its debut release. PRZNT is no stranger to massive streaming numbers with more than 120 million streams across platforms, the Cuban-born artist is gaining worldwide recognition with tracks including “Laudy Daudy.” His debut album, Night of the Rose, is out now. Hailing from Cuba, PRZNT cites Latin music as a heavy influence on his style. “My first love was Michael Jackson— I was heavy on his music when I was younger until I discovered Kid Cudi and Lil Wayne,” he shares. PRZNT’s introduction to music making began in high school, when he found his friends getting into it and developed his own passion and sound. “Around that time, I used to skip school and create different things until I eventually got decent enough to make music,” adds the artist. Soon after, he met his first manager, who helped elevate his music onto streaming platforms where he found a real fanbase. “From there, everything kept flowing, and we kept going up.” PRZNT eventually caught the attention of NOGXNRE, a decentralized music label pioneering transparency in the music industry. After some negotiations, the two parties signed their first record deal helping catapult PRZNT into a new level of artistry. The artist’s moniker was originally “Present1k,” a reference to being present in the moment and “not worrying about the future or past.” As he continued to grow as an artist, PRZNT shifted to the current stage name, keeping its meaning intact. “It’s about staying true to the moment,” shares the artist. Night of the Rose, PRZNT’s debut album, was recently released on March 1. “It’s basically a compilation of the sound I’ve been polishing and perfecting for years,” shares the artist. “This project is completely me. It defines me as an artist and person. It’s a gift from me to the world.” With stark and innovative production from NOGXNRE staples Adrian Chafer and Griffin “Everlyte” Jarosinski, Night of the Rose delivers a consistent holistic sound that captures the vibe that we’ve all come to know and love from PRZNT. Additional vocals from longtime collaborator 2Scratch on the catchy Jersey-club inspired track “Video” round out a robust body of art unlike anything we’ve heard from PRZNT before. “Or Nah,” the album’s highlighted single, features the familiar sound his early fans fell in love with: somber melodies on a bed of moody guitars. “It’s for my fans who showed me support from the beginning,” adds PRZNT. The song is equal parts nostalgic, vibrant, and chill. Instead of focusing on sending a message, PRZNT wants listeners to have fun with “Or Nah.” “I want them to enjoy themselves and have a great time partying with friends, chilling in the car with it, and turning up to the song at my concerts. It’s more of an experience than a meaning,” explains the artist. “It was a typical writing day for me,” tells PRZNT of the song’s creation. “I came up with the melody for the song, chose the vibe to go for. In more broad terms, it says, ‘are you gonna do something or not going to do it?’ ‘Are you down, or are you not down?’ That’s the whole meaning of the song. It can be about a girl, a moment, or an experience. We started with the full production before adding lyrics and melody, then came up with the ideas for the hooks and verses.” In addition to “Or Nah,” PRZNT invites listeners should check out the second single “Like Pablo,” one of PRZNT’s favorite songs on the album. “The album is...

His passion for song began as a young churchgoer listening to the vibrant gospel that echoed off church walls. At age 11, Jimmy picked up the guitar and mastered a new skill. Never finding joy in his schooling, Jimmy McGee turned to music for guidance. At 14, he joined fellow R&B enthusiasts and performed at local venues. “I am a soul music survivor,” tells Jimmy. From Bobby Womack to Johnny “Guitar” Watson, Jimmy immersed himself in all-things soul from an early age. Decades later, Jimmy McGee brings his never-ending passion for music to the stage with a refined sound. His sound is a smooth blend of R&B, Southern Soul, and Neo-soul, with a spin uniquely his own. “Bottom Line,” Jimmy McGee’s latest single, opens with bluesy tones, drawing in listeners with a smooth guitar riff as the song takes on depth. Velvety vocals emerge, telling Jimmy’s story. “What inspired the song was an experience with obstacles. When a person is gifted with song, there is often envy and stuff that goes along with it—it’s only a matter of time. But I refused to give up,” shares Jimmy McGee. “That’s what inspired it—the rigamarole of being a musician. Standing my ground and being myself.” Jimmy wants listeners to feel encouraged by his song. “I want them to realize that there’s obstacles, but they aren’t the end all be all. People look for a higher power outside, but it’s in ourselves. Self-determination is the key.” Jimmy sings in the key of determination. “Bottom Line” is life’s ballad. “It’s a reminder to never give up—have perseverance.” In fact, all of Jimmy’s songs are about life and life’s lessons. “Life’s a journey, and these songs are about self-determination,” he adds. “You can get help, but it’s you who has to do it.” Writing music usually begins with the music. “Usually, I write to the track. The process involves thinking about life, and the words come along with the music.” For the single and many others, Jimmy let life guide his art. This year, Jimmy McGee is excited to release more music. Listeners can look forward to quarterly releases throughout the year. “I’m ready to get out, sing and perform,” he adds.

Creator to Creators S5 Ep 54 SOTLY Shawn

3/13/2024
https://linktr.ee/Sotlyshawn?lt_utm_source=lt_share_link#39900233 Hip-hop artist SOTLY Shawn wants his fans to know two things about him: never expect his sound to stay the same, and listening to his music is like getting a “home cooked meal.” “You might have some fast food, and that’s always good,” he said. “But there’s nothing like being in your mother’s or grandma’s house and getting that home cooked meal. That’s what I feel like I am. You know that’s what you’re getting when you listen to SOTLY Shawn.” The Brooklyn based rapper has has just released a new single called “Standin’” off his EP titled Day by Day. “The message in the song is that no matter what, he’s still standing,” he said. “No matter what, he’s going to the top, he’s going to still stand. Whatever happens- we try to ignore the negativity, push the positivity, and that’s what we’re going with.” “Standin’” is the outro track on the five song EP, which he said was created at a fairly chaotic time. There was stress about work and about finishing the project he was working on, and much of this is reflected in the songs. The first track titled “Still” coincides with “Standin’” in a way that they are bookends to the project. The second song, “No Doubt” reflects on the experiences his mom had when working a 9-5 job. This is followed by “The Soul” and “Tonight.” “All throughout that EP, the idea behind it is pushing through and not becoming so one-track minded,” he said. “With all the problems in your 9-5, or all the problems in your life, you have to look at everything in a big picture kind of way.” SOTLY stands for “someone out there loves you,” and this is a mantra that he lives by and promotes. “That’s like my whole message at the end of the day,” he said. “No matter what you’re going through…if you’re working a job that sucks or if you’re going through doubt, depression, uncertainty, anything, just know it's all a part of the process. Somebody out there cares about you. Make the decision to never give up on yourself and finding those answers, because someone out there loves you. They want to see you win. Even if it's just me, I want to see you win.” He added, “Les Brown said once that your struggle will be the blueprint to someone’s survival.” SOTLY Shawn pulls his inspiration from his own life, as well as aspects that his friends and those close to him have gone through. He’ll often put himself in other peoples’ shoes to get different perspectives about what is wrong and what is right. “I try to dig from those personal experiences, but also try to incorporate as many sides of it that I possibly can,” he said. “It’s never going to be just black and white, so this gives me a plethora of things to pull from when looking at it from different perspectives.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Creator to Creators S5 Ep 53 Sophia Mengrosso

https://www.instagram.com/sophia_mengrosso/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0TxBlMHC7tODcQyDKxqOuA https://www.tiktok.com/@mengrosso.music https://open.spotify.com/artist/2v2izImh5Klqia6oxOQC2F Sophia Mengrosso is a classically trained opera singer with a wide vocal range that is ever apparent on her newest single “Unforgiven,” scheduled to be released on February 24. Mengrosso has a hauntingly beautiful, and unique, voice that fits right in with the power of her lyrics and the heavy sound that it complements. This track is about putting the time and work into letting go of someone she loved. It focuses on her efforts to move on and move forward with her life, despite the scars and the pain that it has brought. “I just wanted to let go of a person, and let go of the memories,” said Mengrosso. “I’ve accepted the fact that I can’t blame someone for what happened in the past. Instead of me carrying that weight on me, I just want to forgive the person and move on.” Mengrosso wrote this song years ago, but came back to it about a year back when she rediscovered it in a different way. She said that whenever she has a significant personal experience, she will incorporate it into her material because it is helpful to handle what life throws at her. Writing this track was a cathartic experience for Mengrosso. “When I go through something, I try to put it into my music because this is what gives me a drive to go through stuff,” she said. “It’s so personal. It is about finding strength and finding something that will drive you to achieve what you want. You can find strength in your weaknesses, like pulling out the light from darkness.” “Unforgiven” is part of a 12 song album that Mengrosso eyes a release for the end of April, and it will also include a recently released single titled “Under.” She is still going through the naming process for the record, and related it to naming a baby because of how much the work means to her. Life experiences are what inspires her work, and she is taking the time to choose the proper name. Mengrosso has a background in musical education, and is a composer who has been writing music for many years, as well. She started as a classical singer and developed an interest in rock and metal as she grew up. Now she is writing and producing her own music, and she said she couldn’t be happier about her path. She started her musical journey by playing piano and harp, and then began taking voice classes as a child. Mengrosso writes all her music on the piano, and she said this has helped her in developing her style. She is influenced by opera singers like Maria Callas, Cecilia Bartoli and Nellie Melba, but also listens to plenty of music outside of the classical world. Her wide range of musical taste has helped shape here as a musician. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vCTDPfvLQeyH3jurwXMxN https://www.instagram.com/minusgravity/?igsh=MmVlMjlkMTBhMg%3D%3D&amp%3Butm_source=qr https://music.apple.com/us/artist/apollo-liberace/1564784056 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCReGHC8fozKMqUFKdKHHOhw https://www.tiktok.com/@apolloliberace Apollo Liberace has spent his whole life involved in music, dating back to when he was a just a young child. Now the hip-hop/R&B artist feels that he is putting out some of his best material yet, with his single “If I Said I Had the Answers, Would You Listen” set to be released on his birthday, February 27.His newest song is an R&B track that will be complete with a music video featuring himself and his girlfriend “Wolves.” It captures the essence of love and being in a relationship, and Apollo Liberace said it is melodic, while also featuring a little bit of rap and indie vibes. “The song is talking about everything you go through in a relationship,” he said. “The main lyrics are, ‘so cry alone, or you can cry on me if you want to.’ Just talking about two different people in a relationship. It’s displaying all the emotions you go through when you’re happy together. If you love somebody it’s never going to always be great. It’s really who you’re with, to argue with, the rest of your life.” Also in the works is a single titled “Paradise,” featuring Tyla Yaweh, who has worked with the likes of Post Malone, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa. Down the line, Apollo Liberace has plans to create an EP. He said the first song is mostly R&B, but others will feature him on acoustic guitar with a more “indie-folk” feel. “It’s a lot different than what I’ve done before,” he said. “I think it’s the best music I’ve made. It’s real and full of emotion, with different stories.” Apollo Liberace uses life experiences as his source of inspiration when making music. This includes the travel he has done, relationships he has been in, heartbreaks and success along the way. The more you do in life, the more your brain expands,” he said. “And once it expands, it doesn’t go back. It changes it in every way. Once you see outside the country, you realize how big the world is. It definitely influences all of it.” Apollo Liberace started his musical journey at a young age, singing in the church choir and at youth camps. He wrote and recorded his first song when he was 10-years-old while living in San Antonio, Texas. He followed in the footsteps of his older sister, who was producing records and performing. When Apollo Liberace was 12 he had already found success while working alongside his sister, singing originals along with covers of the Jackson 5 and James Brown before turning to the hip-hop scene. When he was 15 he moved to South Korea due to his parents being on military assignment. While there, he performed as the opening act in the G-Unit Far East Tour, and was eventually signed by Korea Def Jam Far East. He moved back to the San Antonio where he had a song on the radio at the age of 17, and performed at events with thousands of people every weekend. After a stint in Atlanta and then moving to Los Angeles, Apollo’s hip-hop trio Minus Gravity was signed by Capitol Records and had success making music. The group split ways after about a decade together, which he said was hard because they were friends he had known since he was a kid. But since then, things have been taking off for Apollo Liberace. He is not only working on putting out new music, but will also be on a Paramount Plus television show with TV personality Chanel West Coast coming out this summer. “Things just started falling out of the sky for me,” he said. “I’ve got so many things in the works.” The namesake of Apollo Liberace pays homage to the Greek god of music, and also the eccentricity and flashiness of legendary pianist Liberace.

Creator to Creators S5 Ep 51 Daneka Nation

Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support. https://danekanation.com/ https://open.spotify.com/track/4kcXovepaxwAchDioLH57H?si=680fc1aa5c874624&nd=1&dlsi=d898bd0b354548f4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=zbLH6KvS8k5nFnx9&v=z4fdd0rcSZc&feature=youtu.be https://found.ee/isBik4 Rhett Daneka, who goes by the moniker Daneka Nation, wasn’t always a singer. He spent years flying planes in various capacities, but after meeting a friend who taught him the craft, he knew singing was the life for him. Daneka Nation has released a new single titled “Sacred Ground,” which is a Kix Brooks penned tune that describes what a high school pal had gone through in life. “It’s kind of a story of my best friend in high school,” Daneka said. “He got out of high school and the first thing he wanted to do was have kids. So we graduated in May, and he was already out hitting the clubs on Fridays and Saturday nights. He was a great country western dancer. Well, he found a woman who he got pregnant and had kids. He just couldn’t wait. It’s really kind of my best friend’s story.”The original version of the song didn’t have much fanfare, but in 1992, McBride and the Ride shot it up the charts to number two. The only song in front of it was “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus. Daneka heard the tune on the radio one day while driving, and it hit home so hard that he knew he needed to record it. He pointed out that the storyline touches anyone who went through a similar situation, or anyone who knows young parents working their tails off to get by. Daneka feels that “Sacred Ground” is the best track that he has recorded, and it has had airplay in South America and Europe. The track has more than 200,000 listeners on Spotify, and Daneka is relishing in the fact that it is taking off. “It’s exciting,” Daneka said. “Finally I’ve got something big to work with, and I can’t wait for it to be out there for everybody to hear. I want to hear it on every radio station in the U.S. and all over the world.” Daneka Nation’s creative style is a unique one, as he works with an Argentinian multi- instrumentalist named Ariel who plays every instrument on “Sacred Ground.” Ariel will put together the music, and send it to Daneka to review before he gets in the studio. Daneka then lays down his baritone vocals along with some background singers to complete the track. Daneka is a former pilot who worked as a chief flight instructor, and also flew an air ambulance rescuing premature babies from small Texas towns. Due to being partially color blind, Daneka stopped flying and became self-employed. This is when he also discovered his love for singing. “I learned a couple songs and went to karaoke bars, and wasn’t very good,” Daneka said. “Finally I ran into an 87-year-old man who was 80% blind. He was a quartet singer who had been singing since he was six. So he couldn’t drive, and I couldn’t sing, so we paired up and he taught me basically everything about how to sing over a period of three or four years.” Daneka said they would go out as much as six times a week, hitting multiple karaoke bars. Eventually his karaoke buddy passed away, but Daneka’s love for music and belting out vocals lived on.“I started lining things up to get the best people around me,” Daneka said. “I got the best guitar players, bass players, drum players and started making music in 2021.” The first song he made a Doug Stone cover called “In a Different Light,” which he changed up into more of a “rock/country” song. Daneka Nation has seven songs recorded, and has a goal of getting up to 20 tracks. Then he can get a live band together to play his tunes to the masses. “I’ve got a post-it note in my bathroom with three goals,” he said. “Number one is to make it in the music industry. The second one is to play sold out arenas. The third is to play Rodeo Houston- the biggest rodeo in the...
