His collection had all different types of music for different moods, and he was known for carrying around an MP3 player with headphones.

At the age of 16, a friend asked him to play some of his songs at a party. It was then that he started looking up how to play the music he carried in his MP3 player for other people to listen to. He bought his first turntables then and spent hours learning how to use them. This was where it all started for DJ Chris Padin.

Through the years, he upgraded his equipment and practiced constantly. Still, he felt there was something missing. He eventually decided he needed to create his own music so that he could create the sound he was looking for that people could relate to.

Latin Hip-Hop Artist Arthur Sanchez is Back to the Music Industry With New Style and a Mission

Jerry Cooper on July 22, 2020

Musical artists, whether new to the industry or not, have their fair share of hurdles before getting to the place they want to go. Each had to undergo several ups and downs while traversing the industry – somehow to test the strength of their passion and their craft. On this note, no matter how bumpy it was, is, and will be, there are artists like Arthur Sanchez who perseveres and fights for what he loves.

His interest in music began when Sanchez was only four years old. As a child, Sanchez always found music to be a happy place. To him, listening to songs made him feel different and special. So, whenever he had the chance, especially on weekends, Sanchez would save his extra money to snatch a time slot at a professional recording studio. Later on, the Bay Area-native was able to record his first single I’ve Been Watching You at UGMX Studios in San Jose, California, and was only 12 at the time.

Sanchez then began to develop his image online, creating social media accounts, and taking to Soundcloud under the stage name LilAmMusic. With his burning passion for music and a bright prospect for his career, Sanchez had high hopes for the future. But he was forced to postpone his dreams. In late 2013, he decided to take a break from music after the death of his grandfather.

During his five-year hiatus, the landscape of the industry has changed, but for Sanchez, nobody can stop him from carrying on with his plans. He returns to the music industry with a new style, brand, and name, “Arthur Sanchez.” He comes back stronger and more focused. Since 2018, Sanchez has been able to release several tracks like They Want Me Dead, Notice Me, Locked Up, Todo Caro, Me Compre Un, and many more. He’s collaborated with other artists from Colombia, Slovakia, Toronto, and New Jersey, and the tracks are set to be released this year.

The Hip-Hop and Latin trap artist looks to refine his style by working day and night. He dreams of creating a positive change with his music using diverse approaches. Sanchez has an immense number of followers across the globe, and they are increasing by the day.

Ultimately, he intends to use his story to inspire others to continue doing what they are passionate about, no matter the roadblocks. Sanchez knows that many artists struggle to make a name for themselves due to uncontrollable factors. And so, Sanchez wants to use his brand and story to help others in seeking ways to triumph within a competitive industry even with fewer resources. “We remain true to our word, we seek to help out other artists who might not know how to get around the music industry,” he said.

The music of Arthur Sanchez is something that will be heard in hundreds of platforms soon. His dedication and his past experiences are what drives him to come up with the most unique and profound tracks.

Anthony Mignogna Shares Stories of Failures and Victories Through Music

Jerry Cooper on July 18, 2020

Music has widely been regarded as a versatile medium for expressing oneself. While some artists write songs purely for self-expression and entertainment, others use it as an excellent platform to provide a voice for the silenced to be heard.

For Anthony Mignogna, otherwise known as Antidote, great power lies in the ability to use music as a way to inspire and mobilize people. Having been through the whims and caprices of the unfortunate realities of life, he hopes to spread songs of both his accolades and ignominy to imbue others through the incredible power of sound.

Originally coming from the hubbub streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Antidote and his older brother iKnowStar67 leaves traces of their placating vocal presence amid the chaos of the big city. As people consistently fueled with passion, music has become their sanctuary – an outlet for both their jollies and exasperations embodies a reflection of their souls.

However, life in the music lane did not begin until he dissociated himself from his first love – sports. Unlike most of his fellow musicians, Antidote spent his entire childhood years maintaining an active lifestyle. He played football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and ice or roller hockey. He was at the peak of his game when he started to notice the venom that comes with winning and losing in sports. It was at this time where Antidote lost his concentration and ended up having nearly failing grades.

Corresponding to the failures he experienced in high school, he knew that pursuing college would only entail a new set of failures that would eventually drive him out of the institution. Taking a cue from this personal sentiment, he perceives an ocean of debt for him and his family soon if he pushes himself to an undesirable path. So Antidote decided to look into other interests to reshape his ensuing plans.

With a clear vision of sparking a revolution in his life, Antidote went to the streets to make money. And in this circumstance, he found himself enjoying the company and sound of his music.

Having defeated some of life’s uncertainties, Antidote wants to share his stories of trials and triumphs through musical timbres. To him, it did not matter what genre his music landed into; as long as his music perfectly depicts what he wanted to convey is enough. Antidote believes that confining music in one category would only limit him from telling the full account of his experiences. That is why, as an artist, Antidote expands his reach in different areas including rap, hip hop, trap music, R&B, pop, rock, and underground to unleash his inspiring message of victories and failures fully.

Apart from being a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, Antidote takes pleasure in sharing more of his stories on other platforms. He has recently launched a brand called “ihatepeople” and successfully garnered traction from people around the world.

By writing his stories with musical notes, he hopes to deliver an inspiring message that his listeners could relate to, especially in sailing through rough waters. He wishes to remind the people that life is more rewarding after conquering the challenges that lie ahead.

Michael Antonio Almeida, or as what he’s known for right now, Tony V., is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, disc jockey, and music producer, and he is definitely an artist to watch out for this year.

If you ask Tony V. if he’d expect to be where he is now, the answer is no. In fact, he did not even expect himself to be the kind to make a career in music. Born in Manhattan, New York, and raised on the island of Puerto Rico, he set out on a path and served with the United States Marines for ten years. He then decided to acquire a bachelor’s degree in Human Services to pave the way for his mission to serve and help his community. He worked with non-profit organizations to help and set an example for troubled youths. Then the rest of his life unfolded right in front of him.

While getting to know himself more and finding out what he really wanted in his life, he chose to switch his major to an MBA in marketing, and later on, Tony V. found himself fulfilling his passion and pursuing a career in music.

This year, he released his first album, 0703, which featured 11 songs in its tracklist. Releasing three more singles after that, “Ride For You,” “It’s A Vibe,” and “How Do You Sleep,” he saw the potential he had and committed to further his career as a musician and be heard by more people.

With a strong music influence ever since he was young, Tony V. is well-versed in any music genre. His discography shows hints of his influence in RnB, pop, hip-hop, rap, Latin music, and more. He is bilingual and can speak in both English and Spanish, allowing him to go beyond one market. Aside from that, what sets him apart is his energy, experience, wisdom as well as the way he tells his story through his music.

While he always had a mission to inspire others and make a difference, he was able to do all that with music. Known for having a big heart, he is able to connect with others in ways that cannot be expressed. He is rooted by many of his peers in the music industry for his down-to-earth personality and sense of humor. Besides his ability to create, produce, and develop his own music, it is his attitude that makes all the difference.

Today, Tony V. is working on developing his craft, working on several music videos, and cooking up something to once again put his name out there. He does all this while making sure he is able to connect with his fans and genuinely reach a bigger audience. Reaching the top of the charts is the goal, but along with that, he wants to encourage others, share his life experiences and values for those who wanted to succeed, just as he did.

By Sharing His Story on Surviving a Heart Disease, Sir Eliot Ness Baldwin Is Raising Awareness and Making Music to Inspire Others

Jerry Cooper on July 15, 2020

Rising hip-hop artist Sir Eliot Ness Baldwin is speaking up about his own story. In 2010, he was diagnosed with chronic systolic and diastolic congestive heart failure. Although what he had been through was not easy, he embraced this reality and made it his mission to raise awareness on congenital heart disease and lupus.

Growing up, Sir Baldwin saw how his family suffered from this autoimmune disease, lupus, and heart disease. At just six months old, he lost his mother to lupus. Later, he suffered and fought his own medical battles. He also lost two of his maternal aunts to the same disease.

Lupus and chronic heart disease, like many others, is a debilitating chronic condition. Living normally is far from his reality, but Sir Baldwin fights hard to overcome his conditions and goes the extra mile to shine a light on the realities of those living with these conditions. For him, these health conditions that run in his blood should become a reason for being, not for giving up.

Now, at 37 years old, Sir Baldwin is one up-and-coming rapper to watch. He hails from the city most known for its chopped and screwed approach to hip-hop music, Houston.

This year, he released the album everyone is waiting for, I’m Me Pt. 1. This album is all about the struggles and triumphs that he experienced throughout his life. The pain comes from a very real place—Sir Baldwin had a difficult past. He was sentenced to five years for drug possession. It was a wake-up call for him to turn his life around, and it was through music that he learned to put it all away. He learned to better himself, work on his music, and be on his way to becoming more of a self-determined entrepreneur.

He first made a name for himself in an album he released in 2016. With Money Calls, he proved his place in the community by producing an album with collaborations with notable artists such as Quanell X, Daz Dillinger, Scarface, and Willie D, among others.

Before releasing his album, he worked with Paul Wall and Niq of Grit Boys and released a mixtape album where the single “Cadillac” featuring Paul Wall and Niq produced by Sir Baldwin, himself, and E Digitul was featured.

His new single, “Mary Jane,” which features Luenell, Devin the Dude, Yung Redd, and Tony Mack, is now available on the Youtube channel Hustlaz On The Block Entertainment. His previous single releases include “Small Time GMix,” featuring Scarface, Willie D, and Daz Dillinger produced by Worm, “Fast Lane,” alongside Hogg Booma produced by Bruce Bang, and “25 Lighterz.”

Besides telling his own story through his songs, he also talks about the oppression and struggles that minorities go through, as told in his track, “Willie Lynch.” He also speaks about his ideal woman in “Real Ones”, speaking to a distant soulmate he is yet to meet.

Now, he just wants to be heard by more people as he keeps the momentum of establishing himself as an artist to watch. When fans hear his heart-on-his-sleeve songs, they realize it’s clear that his goal isn’t to become popular; Sir Baldwin has something to say. Right after listening to his songs, fans get hit with the realization that he deserves to be heard.

Fans should be on the lookout for fresh new videos from off the album released soon. His music video for his song “Feel Ya Pain” will be released in the next few weeks. In his upcoming video, he talks about the love and death of his loved ones from his mother, aunts, grandparents, and his daughter, who he lost through stillbirth.

More than his journey toward being a hip-hop star, it is the truth and relatability to his songs that have since earned him almost 20,000 monthly streams. Everyone should start remembering his name because Sir Baldwin is surely hitting the charts soon.

Ammon Rose on Facing the Music and Striking a Chord

Jerry Cooper on July 13, 2020

A blank piece of sheet music is the clean slate everyone is presented with the moment they are born. Hence, everyone is a singer-songwriter when it comes to composing and belting out the song that is their lives. Simply put, life is like a song.

And from the first note he cried when he was a baby down to the latest note he sang as an artist, Ammon is regarded for facing the music and riding through life’s highest and lowest pitches.

In a city that boasts quiet and peaceful neighborhoods, Ammon Rose graced Bountiful with his musical flair. And as something that has always been ingrained in his soul, music became his sanctuary – a place where he gets to express himself freely. In music, he found solace like nowhere else.

As Ammon grew up, the people around him could not help but marvel at his musical gift. Even at a really young age, he already possessed the allure that would make anyone who heard his voice swoon in awe. A strong and solid tenor, the talented lad, nurtured his passion by participating in middle and high school choirs. And from sharing his talent within the four corners of the school building, he took his voice out in the open to start the career he always dreamed of.

Now a well-regarded independent artist, Ammon puts a spin on things by recording his songs in a living room. Through this unconventional way, he gets to pour more of himself into his music and seals them with his personal style.

And in the comforts of his home, the budding artist reached a breakthrough with his first single, “It’s Over.” Thousands of listeners now enjoy the said song as it streams across various platforms worldwide.

Within just a few days from the single’s release, it has already gained recognition from fans and other artists. Taking a cue from all of the positive feedbacks, Ammon entered his music in a contest held by no other than T-Pain himself. And proving that his song is a force to be reckoned with, it caught the eye of curators as it stood out amongst thousands of other submissions.

In an interview, Ammon shares that his inspiration comes from pop music artists like Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, and Jon Bellion. He further explains that with the increasing number of artists in the industry, it is becoming more of a challenge for him to reach the top. However, the growing competition in the playing field did not dishearten him one bit. Quite the contrary, it only inspired him to do better and to find ways of keeping things fresh.

And as someone who is deeply in tune with his craft, he uses music to help him stay in touch with his emotions. Consequently, the lyrics in his songs reflect how he is feeling at the time he wrote them. To Ammon, a song’s lyrics are what connect him and his listeners.
