Bigger Things Now: Canadian producer/singer Naszdaddy doesn’t know if they can connect on ‘Obsessed’

Posted on 30 July 2021

As he tries hard not to flex but just can’t quite help it, Naszdaddy wonders why they won’t leave him alone, even though he has made his intentions known on ‘Obsessed‘.

Naszdaddy is a Brockville, Eastern Ontario, Canada-based indie music producer, artist and Berklee College of Music student. He is an artistic soul and loves to break boundaries with his vibration-filled bundle of different-planet sounding music melodies, which is packed full of boundless enthusiasm and smartly-crafted ingenuity.

”Naszdaddy specializes in hyperpop, melodic trap, and experimental music. He has played the piano since 2003, has been producing since 2017, and started developing his voice in 2020.” ~ Naszdaddy

He mixes skillfully with a dynamic soundscape which is full of skilled effect for our beating hearts – which has your wondrous body grooving in absolute unison and has your thoughtful mind wondering translucently- deep into the intense story about someone who is madly in love with you, who just doesn’t get it. This is a highly innovative performance from a youthful artist who is clearly looking for something different – which will comprehensively stimulate his mind to stay alive with new layers of total excellence – and always be satisfyingly imaginative to himself and those who know him best.

‘Obsessed‘ from the highly progressive Canadian indie music producer and singer Naszdaddy, is the familiar story about telling someone super into you that you aren’t interested at all, but they keep on trying no matter what you say. The problem is that you are in love with someone else and know that you won’t connect on a higher level anyway, as you are two rather different souls.

When the heart knows what it wants, nothing else should get in the way of staying faithful to your true love.

Everyone Needs A Light Sometimes: Daniella Spadini certainly finds the special spark on debut ‘Part Of You’

Posted on 8 July 2021

With her small-town humble nature shining through beautifully into the wind as she embarks on this exciting journey to release her own music, Daniella Spadini wholeheartedly desires that tender touch right now as she wishes they were close to light the love together like fireworks in the sky on ‘Part Of You‘.

Daniella Spadini is an emerging 21-years-young rural Northern California-born indie pop singer-songwriter, dog lover and flower enthusiast, who calls Berklee College of Music her home currently, as he finishes up her undergrad in songwriting.

”As a teen, she performed with a Top 40 cover band in hundreds of shows at venues that include Disneyland and the
California State Fair. Feeling called back to her songwriting roots, she soon left the band to focus on her own artistry.” – Daniella Spadini

With a whirlwind of a gushingly attractive voice that seems to have your back standing straight up to attention, you get lost into her wonderful sound that is backed up with a rather special beat here. The two combine so perfectly and this is a stunning debut track, that is surely up there with the more promising indie singles of 2021.

‘Part Of You‘ from the youthfully exuberant Northern California-born pop singer and skilled songwriter Daniella Spadini, has us dreaming about being with the person of our dreams who is a bit further away than we would like. The spark is there but the lighter is hidden away for now – as we hold onto their memory really tight – before it fades away into the night, never to be seen again.

Take Me: Rise Carmine finds the truth we need to know about on ‘Down’

Posted on 7 June 2021

Formally known as Patiohawk, Rise Carmine teams up with Grammy award-winning producer Dave Schiffman to take us on a groovy journey down under the sea with a terrific new single called ‘Down‘.

Liam Colbert aka Rise Carmine, is a talented Toronto-bred multi-instrumentalist and Berklee College of Music graduate. He is a rule bender who lights up where others hide the fire away, as he makes that spark-fueled music that certainly has your attention lifted to places you didn’t know possible before.

”Rise Carmine strives to find the balance between a well-written song and a dazzling brand of showmanship, between a chorus that you can sing along to and dual-guitar-harmony heroics that harken back to a time of tighter pants and longer hair.” – Rise Carmine

The production here is world class and you feel like you are floating underwater in peace – looking around like a treasure hunter but not searching for gold – only clues to what life is really supposed to be about. With vocals that are supremely translucent and fills your ears with so much hope, this is a song that you will want to play again and again.

‘Down‘ from the top notch Toronto, Canada multi-instrumentalist Rise Carmine, is a spacey song filled with that busting bass-filled melody, that has you feeling so chilled and supremely curious. This is a story about finding the truth inside yourself, whilst taking someone close with you, who isn’t afraid of the swirling seas for a while.

Finding out that elusive truth is the only way to being truly free inside your hungry soul, that yearns for more than what the world offers currently.

Boston, Massachusetts is the home of Vulcan Xs1 who is an electronic artist with ambient, minimalist and house influences.

A&R Factory Present: David Schocke

Posted on 7 May 2016

David Schocke attended Berklee College of Music and has played many shows around the USA. He writes about love, success, family and relationships.

According to his Twitter 100% of people that listened to this song “HIGH”, had a smoke before hand. So we will leave that decision up to you, but anyway, check him out… The song deserves several plays, and he deserves a beer for creating it.

David goes on to say “High was cooked up 2 years ago in a little gray corner of Boston. It sparked the beginning of the end for my time in Boston and at Berklee College of Music. I dropped out, moved to LA and dove into the humbling experience of embodying, in sound, the feeling’s that were flowing when it was originally composed. Enjoy the fruit of my feels.”

Expect big things from this guy.
