DEB FAN
If I had to pick one word to describe Deb Fan’s sound, it would have to be ethereal. Her voice floats languidly like smoke curling slowly in hazy lounge. Her delivery is almost paranormal, as if coming to our ears from a shadow world of spirits and ghosts. On her latest EP, Kowloon Demos, the…

BIKING WITH FRANCIS
As a born-and-raised Charlotte native, I was particularly excited to interview Biking with Francis, the North Carolina trio that has been making waves lately. Joshua Raw, Garrett Sparrow, and Max Leonard comprise the Charlotte-based collective, a lively cross between an indie boy band and an alternative rap group. The trio wears their musical influences on…

Paco
Paco has got the sauce—and no, I’m talking about the vodka pasta he chefed up with the 3M crew for his latest release. “3MTILLIDIE” oozes laid-back confidence, amplified by the wavy production that he refers to as a “swaggy ass beat.” Raised in St. Louis, Paco is a twenty-two-year-old Mexican-American artist seeking to pave the…

He’s the youngest artist selected to be a part of Pigeons & Planes’ See You Next Year 2 collaborative album, a testament to his artistic potential. His latest single “Dope Sick” showcases…

Asha Imuno
If I had to pick one thing that stood out most from my conversation with Asha Imuno, it would be his humbleness. He speaks gently and thoughtfully, choosing his words carefully. It was immediately apparent that the 22-year-old artist is the kind of person who would rather celebrate others than himself. Yet, his latest album…

The roster is a who’s who of rising artists that are defying genre conventions to create some of the most exciting music of the current moment. From rock-rap stars that can’t be easily…

Igwe Aka
For Igwe Aka, the question of whether he will make it big is not if, but when. The Nigerian-American rising artist has been making a name for himself with catchy independent releases such as “TONY ON THE RADIO” and “DONT NEED A SOUL.” His four-track EP SUPER EAGLE provides a brief but bright window into…

9th Wonder
I recently sat down with my professor, Patrick Douthit, to talk about all things hip-hop. If his name doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps you’ll know him by his other moniker: 9th Wonder. A veteran producer famous for his soul sample flips, he has worked with numerous legendary artists throughout his two-decade-plus career. A brief list…

REHMA
REHMA is the future. The 23-year-old Pakistani-American artist is creating waves with a dreamy fusion of American pop and Bollywood disco. “HYPNOTIC,” the latest single off her forthcoming project “Anomaly,” is a vibrant melting pot of inspiration pulling from neo-pop, progressive R&B, and electronic styles. The magnetic track was created within a community of femme…
