Music industry update | Michigan, USA | Indie artist, Trevor Ohlsen

Exactly two years ago today, the UK was preparing to go into full lockdown on the 24th of March, 2019. It was one of the most dreadsome days I can remember, I was scared as a puppy – everyone was. Okay it wasn't exactly two years ago today, but it was, when I wrote this article. Forget about why it's being delivered so late and all whatnot okay, just deal with it. Okay ("sigh!"), since you insist, I'll tell you why. I discovered I've been totally stressing for a really long time now and had my panties in a bunch for so long it started looking like that big ass thong looking thingy Jesus wears on the cross, metaphorically speaking. So I decided to do something about it and I did. You want to know what I did don't you? Well, here it goes - I stopped stressing. That's why it's late okay, so sue me. Now where where we, before I was rudely interrupted. 

Ah yes..

The beginning of lockdown. I remember it like yesterday. I was doing exactly what I’m doing right now in the same exact way I was doing it then. I had just had enough wine to keep me from despairing and watched just enough television to keep me from reaching for Anderson Cooper’s neck and forcing him to spill what he’d heard about the new enemy that was killing everybody, that he wasn’t telling us. I had bought so much toilet paper on multiple trips to various stores supplemented by online shopping deliveries that I started to get really nervous when word started to emerge about shortages and people panic buying and hording. What was I to do if the police started going from house to house and checking people’s cupboards to find out who was doing it? I would have been in big trouble, phew! I know it seems unreasonable that I even thought that, but those were unprecedented times – no one knew what was coming. Looking back now I’ve got to admit I think I might have kind of sort of lost it a little bit. Who didn’t right?

It’s 4 AM and I’m on my first cup of coffee and my second liter of water for the new day that has just started, but the day can’t begin until the last one ends right? Wrong! It will NEVER end! Well at least that’s what I tell myself every night but I rarely ever make it to the 24th hour and instead wake up with my head on the keyboard and a whole bunch of stuff on the screen that I didn’t mean to write but I had been secretly thinking. Hardly any of it gets published because I’m a deep thinker and I feel the world is not ready for it. But never say never right? If you are lucky you just might get a taste of my filthy filthy disgusting mind. I’ve changed a lot since the pandemic forced me to be alone with myself for so long I felt like I had overstayed my own welcome – can you believe that sh*t? He-he-he. Knowing everyone else was going through the same thing was what kept me from totally losing it – that, and white wine.

Don’t worry; this is going somewhere, I promise. I sensed you getting a little impatient and confused there, wondering if these words have a destination. Yes they do, and we’ll get there in due course. I loosened the metaphorical collar in my mind during those difficult times – I no longer metaphorically button my shirt all the way up to the top in my head and I’m now pretty chilled. I used to be Anderson Cooper, now I’m that really hot chick that was hanging out with Charlamagne the… what’s his face? I’ll never say his full name, I don’t think he’s awesome enough to call himself that – am I missing something? Maybe he’s got God’s penis? Or what? He-he-he. Just kidding Mr. Charlamagne, I’m sure you’re awesome somehow.

This is where we segue into the main point of the article to avoid stepping on anyone’s toes. Let's not talk about Charlamagne's penis and move on.

Psst! Psst! ("Whispering") I heard it's so small it's like giving Adele Givens a tic tac. Sh!! You didn't hear it from me okay?

Just kidding obviously, moving on...

Many artists suffered severe career blows financially during the pandemic and took to online fan supported platforms to raise money. The independent music community quickly discovered that platforms like Patreon weren’t just a way to supplement their incomes but were also an exciting new way to reward fans for their loyalty and support, and a lot of attitudes towards these sorts of resources quickly changed.

Trevor Ohlsen has been busy with his new podcast throughout the pandemic. “The Trevor Ohlsen Show” is a twice weekly comedy podcast that launched back in the summer of 2020 and reached its 111th episode on the 16th of March. Through the course of the show, the Iron Mountain, Michigan singer songwriter and producer has explored a broad variety of subject matters from relationships to fashion, holidays, life, teeth whitening, body issues and even car repairs. I know what you’re thinking – that’s pretty broad right? And you’re are right. The show has quickly gained popularity and is opening a lot of doors for the fast rising pop star. This week he announced that he had finally joined Patreon as long requested by many fans who would like to support his endeavors. He also released a video to explain what fans will get in return for their support .

Music industry update | Wisconsin, USA | Indie band, The Last Bees

The Covid 19 pandemic made everything so difficult. Over the past year, even the simplest of tasks have seemed almost impossible.

Gladly, the music industry is now slowly getting back up to speed once again, as is everything else. Music venues and recording studios are opening up and musicians are getting back to work in full force again. Wisconsin, US indie rock sensation The Last Bees have just announced that they are working on a new project.

Back in June, critically acclaimed indie rock sensation Frank Palangi released what has been called his most exciting record to date. Hailed left, right and center by even the most discerning rock music critics and fans, it was one of several highly anticipated tracks that the fast-rising independent rock star, who made his debut just over a decade ago, has released this year; and a record that according to many could be the “big one” that could end up catapulting him into the big leagues alongside top rock artists and bands like Day of Fire, who he worked with in the early days of his illustrious indie music career. 

 Sadly, just over 2 weeks after the release of the record, the New York star’s music recording studio was hit by lightning and burned down to the ground. Financial support and well wishes immediately started pouring in from fans; and fellow musicians have even hosted benefit concerts and created crowdfunding campaigns to help. Frank has also recently set up a crowdfunding campaign of his own and is appealing to fans and supporters to donate to help his rebuild his studio. Please visit Frank Palangi on Go Fund Me and if you can’t donate share the campaign with friends so that word can get out there and we can sooner rather than later see this highly promising independent rock star back in the studio recording again and playing his part in keeping real rock music in its most intrinsic form alive in his very special way.

Music industry update | Tennessee, USA | Indie artist, Durt Boi

He's an artist with multiple talents both on and off the microphone, and an individual with a work ethic that is comparable to none. Memphis, Tennessee’s Durt Boi has been hailed by some of the South’s most discerning rap music critics and DJs as an artist whose music will always warrant and deserve a category of its own. He has reigned on the region’s underground hip hop scene for several years completely independently and has amassed a repertoire of music that is both commercially viable and true to its roots. His career reached an all time high in 2019 with the release of the critically acclaimed single “Twerkaholic”. He returned just over a year later with his latest single “Reasons” and announced that he’s preparing to take the show back on the road in the coming months, as the Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns around the world are tentatively eased and clubs, live music venues and concert halls start to open their doors to the public once again. Concert and tour dates will be announced as they become available and tickets will also be accessible via the Skunk Radio Live Events page. The new song “Reasons” is available to stream and download on Apple Music, Tidal, iTunes, Soundcloud, Spotify and all popular digital music streaming and download platforms worldwide.

Music industry update | Michigan, USA | Indie artist, Trevor Ohlsen

There have been so many new initiatives and platforms created to help and provide financial support for musicians and entertainers over the past 9 months owing to the significant loss of revenue and opportunities caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Even with several vaccines being rolled out the world’s economies are still very much shaken and could take a while to fully recover. Patreon is not a new service but in light of the pandemic has become an invaluable tool for many musicians and bands to not just raise money for new projects but also receive donations from fans who would have otherwise supported by buying concert tickets, merch and physical copies of music releases in addition to streaming and downloading online and via mobile device apps. We’ve seen several artists formally announce their first campaigns on the American content monetization platform over the past few months and the numbers are growing. This week, Michigan, US indie pop sensation Trevor Ohlsen announced that he had joined the service and in addition joined a similar service called OnlyFans, a British company which also allows content creators to earn revenue from their content through subscriptions and direct payments from fans. In addition to new and exclusive music releases, Trevor's Patreon campaign also offers fans exclusive access to his new podcast, The Trevor Ohlsen Show, a weekly comedy series which is available to stream on Spotify and popular podcast streaming services.

Music industry update | Mississippi, USA | Indie artist, Coolidge

Jackson, Mississippi rapper, Drevo Coolidge was reported to have suffered a fatal injury during the early days of the first Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns a few months back but details of the injury weren't publicized a great deal apart from a few hospital photos shared on social media. He was reportedly hospitalized for 5 days and has now made a successful recovery. The incident led to the creation of his latest record, “Recovery” which was released as part of a self-titled mini mixtape on the 18th of September. The mixtape is available to stream and download on Spinrilla, Audiomack and other independent music promotion and distribution platforms. Just over a month later, he returned with the official music video for the song, which is available to watch on YouTube, Vevo and all popular music video streaming platforms.

Music industry update | Arizona, USA | Indie artist, Marco Richh

With credits like Anthony Hamilton, Latoya London, Case and Jay Holiday under his belt, Arizona, US Up-and-coming R&B singer, songwriter, sound engineer and music producer, Marco Richh has worked just as hard behind the scenes in the recording studio as he has on stage. He has made a name for himself as one of R&B music’s next greats and he is making all the right moves inside and outside of the studio. Back in the summer of 2019 he released what was called his best record to date, “Party”. He quickly followed with another highly rated single a month later and then two singles earlier this year that have collectively left critics and fans alike speechless. Following the release of the music video for the critically acclaimed single, “Party” on the 25th of November, Marco scheduled a number of press dates and interviews at local and regional radio stations and other press outlets. His first stop was Texas, USA on the 2nd of December when he did a live interview with DJ Uncle Verge and Lady Soul on Bigo Live's Lady Soul Show. Further forthcoming radio station and promotional event dates and times will be provided here as they become available.

Music industry update | Georgia, USA | Indie artist, Jackie'S Boy

He’s a man on a mission and he has come so far already, but Jackie’s Boy’s quest for world domination in the world of R&B music is not just about becoming the world’s next big star. 

With several Billboard hits and Grammy awards under his belt for writing songs for some of the top artists in the United States, when he made his debut as a recording artist back in 2017 it was clear he had everything required to be just as successful in the spotlight as he had been working behind the scenes in the recording studio. He went on to release several critically acclaimed singles without the backing of any major record labels and he is already making a name for himself as one of the next big R&B acts out of Savannah, Georgia where he is from. 

Back in April when he launched his record label, Big Circle Music Group, he stated that his goal, as with all his endeavors since stepping out from behind the scenes was to bring back the core values of R&B music and help the genre achieve its full potential in today’s music industry, and his last single, “Do It Again”, a collaborative project with Shawn Stockman of the legendary R&B group, Boyz II Men; did just that. On the 13th of November he surprised fans with an old record that many had never heard before, a track titled “Boo’d Up” which was originally released back in 2018. [Watch music video Below]

Music industry update | Ontario, Canada | Indie artist, Crissi Cochrane

The Coronavirus pandemic has hit every sector of the world’s economies where it hurts really bad and is leaving many businesses in disarray. The hospitality and entertainment industries in particular seem to have taken the biggest blows because they often come under the “non-essential business” categories during lockdown scenarios - which means they are usually the first to be forced to close and the last to be allowed to re-open when lockdown restrictions are lifted. Musicians, bands and entertainers have all had to get creative in the way they generate revenue, keep in close contact with their fans and get their new content out there. Live streaming, socially distanced open-air events, merchandising, busking and podcasting are just some of the avenues many musicians have taken to during the pandemic, and fans are supporting in any ways they can. Other avenues like crowdfunding sites are also proving to be invaluable in these dire times. Sites like Patreon and Indiegogo are being used by musicians to raise funds for their future projects and also fund ongoing operations. This week, independent Ontario soul music star, Crissi Cochrane announced the launch of her first Patreon campaign, which offers fans access to previously unheard and unreleased music every month in addition to other exciting perks.

Music industry update | New Jersey | Indie artist, Goodbye Friday

Boasting all the exciting features and pretty much everything music fans, and teens in particular fell in love with about Teen Pop, and then some, they were hailed as one of the most exciting new independent pop boy bands to emerge during the new era of pop music as we know it. With singles like “Love”, “Scream For Me Baby“ and “Oh Nicole”, Goodbye Friday set the tone for an illustrious music career like nothing the world has ever seen, but sadly the quartet broke up without any explanation. It’s been a few years now, and some members of the band have started re-emerging as solo artists, bringing back the infectious, colorful, blissful sound that fans still can't get enough of. Rocco Constanza released his solo debut single, “Cloud 9” back in 2017 and quickly followed with “Heartbreak Halo” before dropping of the radar for a while again. He has recently emerged once again, playing live locally in New Jersey in a new band called Royals. Their next gig is at the Newton Moose Lodge (outdoors) in Freedon, New Jersey on the 25th of July at 7PM. Concert tickets and venue information are available on the Skunk Radio Live Events page.

Christie has been featured on a plethora of online gigs, podcasts and webcasts since the global lockdowns began back in March, and her new single, “Halfway Fell” is enjoying the benefits of the vast exposure that has resulted. “Halfway Fell” was released to critical acclaim on the 5th of June. The song is being predicted to become a summer hit like all 3 of its predecessors released this year, which are doing exceptionally well. This week, she played a live gig on “Belles And Gals”, the UK media platform dedicated to the ladies of country and americana music.

Released back in 2014, “Colorscreen” was an excruciatingly exciting alternative rock record that brought much joy to rock fans. It was quickly followed by a good number of records that followed suit and reassured fans that rock music was still alive in its purest form. Written and performed by critically acclaimed St. Charles, Illinois singer songwriter, Jenny Franck, whose repertoire dates as far back as 2005 and who enjoyed a fairly successful independent music career before slowly dropping off the radar after the release of the 2015 compilation album, “Beautiful Lies”, the record spoke to female fans in a way no rock release has done in a very long time. In 2018, Jenny returned as a member of a new alternative rock trio called Elliot Waits For No One, with seasoned musicians Brian Troch and Jeff Tortora.

With everything that’s going on in the world today, it seems like only yesterday, independent Los Angeles country pop star, Christie Huff was making her way down to the United Kingdom to rock the socks off unsuspecting music fans at some of the Capital's live music hotspots. The trip was brief, during February, but it did well to introduce the fast-rising California singer songwriter’s sensational sound to some of the hardest to please music fans in the world. For many, it was one of the last gigs they would have seen before UK lockdowns started going into place, and a memory that will last for a very long time. Christie is back in LA, and like most musicians and bands around the world, has spent a lot the time during the lockdown gigging online. Details of her next online concert dates are expected shortly.

Music industry update | California, USA | Indie artist, Megan Mcduffee

This year’s winner of the Annual Game Music Awards for Best Independent Composer and Best Retro/Chiptune Soundtrack, Megan McDuffee has announced that she’ll be spending a little less time on social media and using the time to figure out where to focus her energy at this crucial stage of her career.  Starting out as a music composer a few years back, creating bespoke music for television, film, video games and multimedia applications, she enjoyed a very successful career as a freelancer and continues to do so, with a vast number of big names and big projects in her portfolio including media networks and production companies like CBS, FOX, ABC, Bravo and Lifetime, and projects like the Netflix series "Wet, Hot, American Summer", Italian comedy "Made In China Napoletano", the popular television series "Dancing With The Stars", FOX television show "The F Word", and Bravo's television series "The Real Housewives Of New York City", just to name a few. Her latest project, the official soundtrack album for River City Girls, a limited edition Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch video game was released late 2019 to critical acclaim with a whopping 50 tracks. It sold out on vinyl while it was still on pre-order. In 2018, Megan reinvented herself as solo synth pop artist and enjoyed, and continues to enjoy an unbreakable spell of success, with her fan base growing exponentially following almost every new release. She has made a name for herself quicker than any independent US synthpop artist has done in today’s highly competitive world of electronic music and critics argue she is ready for the big time. Her latest announcement shows that she may feel the same way too, and although fans will miss her heart-warming messages and her virtual companionship on Twitter and Instagram especially during these dark times we are living through, we are all wishing her well and hoping she finds the right path soon.
