Music industry update | Georgia, USA | Indie artist, Tyler Noel

Do you sometimes kind of sort of hate everything? 

Don’t lie, I’m serious. I mean, don’t you sometimes think about some of the crazy stuff happening in the world and think to yourself: “these MFs must have really totally lost it”? And by "these MFs" you mean EVERYBODY in the whole damn world. 

I hate talking about politics and I hate people that do it too overzealously – if they know so much about politics and they’re clearly not politicians then we should first address the elephant in the room - that they obviously made the wrong career choices, he-he-he. If they know so much about politics then obviously they should be politicians shouldn’t they? 

Every time I turn on the news and see yet another video of that president Skillachi (😊 or whatever his name is, I’m terrible with names) begging the US and the UK, and other NATO countries to start World War III; my blood boils furiously. I’m empathetic and sympathetic about the whole issue but I’m one of those people that always insists on people handling their own beefs – I don’t give a damn who started it or who is ending it using unscrupulous methods, that’s your business. And for the love of God, could somebody please explain to me why in God’s name a country that has had such a formidable adversary on their ass for so long would elect an entertainer to lead them? That's what has really had me scratching my head. Nevertheless, I wish them well. 

Moving on ...

We’ve all been through so much over the past couple of years, and sadly a lot of us, whether it shows or not, have taken psychological blows. It’s important to be sympathetic to the plight of everyone around because you never know if something you say would be the straw that breaks the camel's hump, and send them straight to the nut house, OR to their basement to make a bomb. 

Music is one of those things that always has a place in any human life during difficult times but sadly the mainstream seems to be becoming less diverse by the day. It’s difficult to listen to songs about fantasy love, red bottom shoes, kissing your BFF and liking it, whatever Simon is saying, make up, hair and nails, Maybachs, helicopters, cocaine and all those exciting things that seem so important to kids and young adults today in the middle of a pandemic and a looming world war. But luck is on your side - you’ve discovered independent music and the best place to find it so you are safe, nothing can get you down during these difficult times. 

If you don’t know about Tyler Noel then let me tell you a little bit about her. Hailing from Atlanta, USA, she has made a name for herself as one of the Southeast’s most exciting new R&B artists and has a powerful voice that is guaranteed to set even the most troubled mind free. Her unique songwriting style and ability to write in a very broad variety of contexts has seen to it that her name is cemented in the minds of any and everyone who has ever had the pleasure of listening; a pleasure you are about to have right now, and that you will probably never forget. 

This week, fans got the rare opportunity to see the exciting independent Atlanta star perform live for the first time since lockdowns started back in 2019. During the short but impactful live performance, she reminded fans why they fell in love with her and why they’d missed her so much. Only a snippet of the full performance has been released so far but we'll publish the full video once it becomes available.

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

With all that’s going on in the world today, people are finding different ways to get by and trying their hands at a whole lot of new stuff. Sometimes it’s stuff they wouldn’t have ordinarily even been remotely interested in and other times it’s stuff they just hadn’t got around to trying owing to the severe lack of time in this new busy busy world we live in today when if you blink for a second you could miss an apple fall on your head and your chance to be the next Isaac Newton, he-he-he. 

I too did a lot of stuff that was out of the ordinary during the pandemic and am in fact still doing them. To be honest, the pandemic changed my whole lifestyle in ways I never thought possible. I did a whole bunch of reading, and I hate reading. I hate anything to do with books. I hate books so much I still have recurring nightmares about late homework and studying for exams back in high school - I NEVER make the homework deadline and I NEVER pass, then I wake up with my heart pounding.   Sometimes I think it’s a sign but I don’t think any further than that. It’s so scary. 

I've also been doing squats every single day since lockdown started. I figured I've been an advocate, connoisseur and absolute nut for firm butts with a certain je ne sais quoi for my entire adult life, why not get one myself, so I can look back at it in the mirror and make duck faces like Kim Kardashian. Right now my cheeks are so firm that even Moses couldn't part them 😂. That's not an invitation for you to touch them if we meet, I'm just telling you how much progress I've made. 

Well, now that it’s out there and you know what I spent a lot of time doing during lockdown; what have you been doing? I’m sure you’ve been making the most of the new found time at home but if you haven’t there is still time. Tweet me @skunkradiolive

Oh by the way, did you know that that infamous apple that led to the discovery of gravity never actually dropped on Newton’s head? Nope! Did you actually think he was sitting 90 degrees underneath an apple tree reading a book and an apple dropped right on his head and the first thing he thought was “ding! aha!”.  Everyone knows that sort of thing could only happen if you were sitting 90 degrees underneath a palm tree smoking a fat zoot with a cold beer on a hot summer day, not reading. Plus, don’t you think it would have hurt too much? But anyway, now you know. He observed it fall from a tree, it didn’t fall on his head. I learned that during lockdown too. I also learned that the phrase “Survival of the Fittest” doesn’t actually mean survival of the most physically fit but rather survival of the most fit to survive at the time. And there I was hitting the gym every day for years, what a sucker. I know better now 😊. 

One thing more and more people have been doing nowadays is getting into the art of making music. There is so much music production software out there, and the equipment is so accessible and a lot more cheaper now that everyone is quickly discovering that we human beings all have music deep inside us, if we can only find it.

This week, video game composer and synthpop artist Megan McDuffee released an exciting video with some tips on how to make a great score. Whether you’ve recently started making music, you’ve been doing it for a while or you don’t know where to start; or even if you have no intention of ever taking your God-given musical talents any further than singing in the shower and the occasional hum in a desperate bid to disguise what you are doing in the toilet after a really spicy dinner when you’ve got company and they think you are classy so you are playing music so soft you could hear a pin drop in the background, and what you’re dropping is way bigger than pins; the video could give you some exciting insights into the life of a really exciting music composer and the music industry in general. Check out the video in the player below. Be sure to follow Megan on social media and check back here regularly for more exciting videos like this with creative and/or business related music industry tips, she’s so awesome.

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

Would you be considered a peeping Tom in modern society if you fancied nothing more than to get a sneaky peep behind the curtains whenever your favorite artist or band is in town and maybe even get a few pics or video clips as well to take home with you and keep as memorabilia? When does a hardcore fan cross the line and become creepy? Is there an actual line or is it just an arbitrary line that appears once the subject starts feeling uncomfortable? What if you made sure they were fully dressed and nothing was showing or happening every time before peeping if there was a sure way to pull that off? What if your favorite artist is Cardi B or someone who is never fully dressed? Sigh!

 Well guess what? It turns out you probably wouldn't nowadays. Over the past few decades it has become the norm to peek behind curtains, everyone's doing it. In fact fans are being invited behind the scenes more so than ever before now so much so that if you were a creepy fella or lady who loved nothing more than the thrill of not getting caught seeing something you shouldn't be seeing there wouldn't be very much excitement left there for you anymore, if any at all. Behind the scenes clips are an exciting way to get insights into the real personas of our favorite entertainers and sometimes could even result in more excitement than the actual content - the songs, the albums, and shows we fell in love with them for. The only prerequisite is that you wait to get invited to peek before peeking, he-he-he. But wait, what if you assumed the invitation was implied? Aaarrrghh!!! Alright let's move on, head hurts now. 

Megan McDuffee has always been keen to show her fans what's going on behind the scenes since she stepped out from behind the curtains working as one of San Francisco's top independent music composers for television, film and gaming to become a recording artist, and fans have enjoyed and cherished her openness every step of the way. She recently released some exciting behind the scenes clips showing bloopers from the video shoot for her single "13th Hour" which was released earlier this year. Go ahead, check it out below, no one's judging you here, you know you want to. Go on, take a peek. Besides, you were invited. 

... "But wait, what was all that talk about peeping Toms then?" you ask yourself while scratching your head gently. Just the result of a mixture of guilty conscience and confusion in just the right amounts to be considered as neither. Let's just say some clearly labeled security cameras were recently installed and people have been doing stuff right in front of them. It's like they want to get caught. Long story short, labels have been made bigger and clearer, camera wasn't moved.

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

Released on the 27th of May, 2019, just over 10 months after the single was originally released to critical acclaim on the 1st of July, 2018, the “Streets” music video excelled on almost every front, and it did it with a fairly limited budget, as is the case with most independent music videos. It has been hailed as one of the most exciting independent music videos of all time, and some critics would even go as far as to argue that it was one of the most creative music videos since Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” back in the '80s. It brought joy and continues to bring reassurance to discerning and seasoned music fans, connoisseurs, and even tastemakers, who would probably have noticed by now that musicians are no longer putting in as much effort and thought into creating music videos that really wow their audiences to the point where loyal fan bases become nothing short of cult followings. A collaborative project between San Francisco, USA’s new synthpop sensation, Megan McDuffee and Alberta, Canada’s Moonrunner83, the record was such a hit that it completely sold out on Compact Disc (CD) and Cassette tape within weeks of its release for pre-order, and the music video went on to take the buzz that ensued to astronomical levels where it remains till this day. This week Megan took fans on a musical journey back in time to the music video shoot with the release of a new, never before seen behind the scenes clip. [Watch BTS clip below]

Last time we checked in with KC Jockey he was working with Sean Paul on a commercial for a club. The two first met back in 2002. When Sean made his international breakthrough with the release of his second album, "Dutty Rock", KC, who had only recently started his record label, Sweet Sadie's Productions quickly seized the opportunity to be first to book Sean Paul's first ever US concert as an international artist. The gig took place at the Albany Manor Hall in Brooklyn, New York.

KC is an artist who is always working. He's one of those artists you'll never find standing still. Apart from being an exceptional reggae singer, songwriter, producer and record label owner, KC jockey is also a philanthropist, an actor and a concert promoter, and never shies away from new ventures in the entertainment industry. The independent Jamaican star, who is based in Brooklyn, New York released his latest single, "Love In The Air" to critical acclaim in both mainstream and independent circles in Jamaica, in the US and even internationally, and shortly after embarked on a radio promo tour to promote the record while also shooting an official music video and juggling other projects. His latest project is an independent film titled "Hard Head Makes Soft A**es" (unconfirmed). KC is known to always keep fans updated with what he's doing with ample behind the scenes clips so we are expecting a lot of them from the movie set. Here's the first behind the scenes clip released so far - a video of KC rehearsing in his hotel room. [Watch in video player below]

Nothing could have prepared Miami, USA for the arrival of Jamaica-born independent reggae music sensation, Honorebel. Over the years he has worked with and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in entertainment both nationally and internationally including Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, Pitbull, Flo Rida, Akon and Shaggy, just to name a few, and he continues to blaze a trail in independent music like no indie artist has ever done before. With a plethora of singles riding high on reggae and dancehall charts around the world including "Bridal", "Own The Night", and "Your Love", just to name a few, as has been the case for several years now, Honorebel has reached a high in his career no one could have ever predicted and he is being watched by the music industry more closely than ever before. This week, Love Shack Films, an independent film company he has worked closely with over the years released a very rare behind the scenes video giving fans and inside look at what it's like in the studio with Miami's hardest working reggae artist and possibly one of the hardest working independent reggae artists in the world right now.

Santa must be a really sloppy lover - he comes too quick and he leaves even quicker. Seems like only yesterday kids where digging up whatever old smelly socks they could find and hanging them everywhere hoping they'd be filled with amazing presents by the time it was morning, while sneaky adults rigged their homes with mistletoes and perfected their eggnog recipes hoping to get lucky. But it was all over in a flash. Luckily it seems like Santa wanted us to keep the party going long after he was gone. Behind the scenes clips from the video shoot for Washington, US R&B group, Dorothy Milone's critically acclaimed Christmas single, "Bells Bells Bells" are still emerging, each one more tantalising than the last.
