Q&A With Michael Herrick

By


1. Where are we talking from today?

 A. Currently residing in Sacramento, CA

 2. Where did you get your artist name from?

 A. I’m just using my real name.  I’ve never found an artist name that I really liked, so I just stuck with my real name.

 3. Music wise what are you working on right now? Are you currently promoting a single or album?

 A. Currently, have a few open projects just awaiting vocals, but I’m always in the studio working on something new.  Just dropped a new single today, so I’ll be promoting the hell out of that until my next release in July!

 4. Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career?

 A. I think my sound is heavily influenced by the pop-punk bands of the 2000s, especially blink-182.  I think my tracks have a bouncy, happy sound reminiscent of that type of music.  As far as EDM type music goes, I draw heavily from Porter Robinson and Flume.

 5. Who are your favorite musicians?

 A. Right now, I’m a huge fan of Porter Robinson, Flume, Droeloe, San Holo, Madeon, Kacey Musgraves, Ariana Grande, and Cardi B.

 6. What have been the greatest challenges/frustrations of your career so far?

 A. Getting my music heard has been the most frustrating part.  It's hard to get people to actually take action and listen to a song.

 7. As a musician, what is your definition of success?

 A. My definition of success is probably a lot different than other musicians, but I would just love my music to be recognized and admired by fellow producers and artists.

 8. What is your idea of perfect happiness?

 A. I love having a goal to work toward, the pursuit of a goal makes me happy.  If I don’t have that, then I’m lost.

 9. What is your present state of mind?

 A. Currently feeling really happy and excited, got a lot of new music coming this year and it's feeling like summer, so just in a good mood.

 10. What is your most treasured possession?

 A. Just bought a new Taylor Guitar after having a cheap guitar for a long time.  I really love playing that thing, I’m obsessed. 

 11. What do you enjoy doing most?

 A. I just love producing.  Coming up with some cool chords, a fun melody, some cool drums.  There is no better feeling than making a song that you’re in love with.

 12. Where would you like to be in 10 years’ time?

 A. I would love to be doing music full time in an awesome home studio.  Right now, I’m working full time as a mechanical engineer, and doing music in my bedroom at night and on the weekends.  So my goal is to quit my day job and have a real studio.

 13. Where you @ online?

Grisly BK releases crazy cocaine influenced hustler’s anthem "Robe On A Pope"

By
The up and comer Grisly Bk is back at it with a hot trap track -Robe On A Pope- music video. The hard gangsta music brought to mind The Notorious B.I.G.’s debut Ready to Die, unleashed back in 1994. The track highlights open-air crack deals, robberies at gunpoint on the A train and shootouts with the NYPD . The Brooklyn, New York’s rap artist Grisly BK has successfully brought the past into the present with his style. The superior mix constitutes content from the past that’s still relevant at the present. I like Grisly’s ability to embrace emotions as he delivers this track, be able to tone remarkably well yet the track is damn aggressive. If you’re hanging on the fence about this talented artist, be sure to check his E.P, two mixtapes and two singles to get a glimpse of this lyricist. This track portrays an artist that grew up on gangsta music in the crack era. It’s without a doubt that he listened to guys like Kool G Rap , I’m glad we have someone representing Brooklyn so dam

WWE TLC - No Tables No Ladders No Chairs?

By
TLC Highlights  The WWE paper view definitely lived up to the hype, well i guess. The paper view itself was great. Every match on the card was exciting, entertaining but there was just one problem, no tables no ladders no chairs. To call itself a TLC paper view the only match that used anything of the sort was the main event. The rest of the nights card featured traditional matches in traditional style. As mentioned earlier over all the matches were great but if your going to call it a TLC paper view actually have matches involved with tables, ladders and chairs.  Asuka vs. Emma  Winner - Asuka  Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & The Brian Kendrick Winners - Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann  Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James Winner - Alexa Bliss WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore Winner - Enzo Amore  Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles Winner - Finn Balor  Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose &
