THE TREVOR OHLSEN SHOW

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.

TREVOR OHLSEN AUTUMN 2019 TOUR

Making his debut on his local indie rock music scene only a few years back, Trevor Ohlsen made a name for himself as one of the most exciting and most highly revered emerging solo artists from Michigan this decade with the release of the song, "This World Could Be Beautiful", a song that is still a fan favorite today. He has not only lived up to, but persistently defies the expectations of fans, critics and music industry insiders and labels who have followed very closely and continue to follow every step of the way as his career progresses. His latest full length album, titled "Trevor Ohlsen" was released to critical acclaim back in January, and his latest single, "Lazy Days" which went on to follow suit was released in May. This week Trevor began his autumn 2019 tour. The 10 date tour, with venues in Florida commenced on the 9th of October and is scheduled to end on the 24th.

5000 MILES LATER

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

Being a recording artist is a tough job that never really gets easy - at least not unless your aim is to have a shrinking fan base throughout your music career, and you haven't set unachievable goals to keep you on your toes every step of the way - like selling more records than The Beatles (that's over 177 million), playing more concerts in 24 hours than The Flaming Lips and Jay-Z (that's 8), or getting the mosts music video views on YouTube (that's 2.08 billion - "Gangnam Style"). Or if any of those seem too far-fetched how about getting the most dislikes on YouTube (that's 2.5 million - Justin Bieber) or being the most searched pop star on Google for riding on hotdogs and licking Everything as in the case of Miley Cirus (that's a lot of hot dogs).

Performing live isn't as easy as it seems even though many of the greats make it look like so. Entertaining a million fans with a new record released on Spotify and Apple Music isn't the same as touring internationally and entertaining those same fans live in concert. Touring is a big eye opener, and just one of many for budding musicians who are excited to take their show on the road once they've finally made that big hit song. Surviving that first tour is often a milestone many will never forget, well that and everything that comes afterwards if the tour is successful of course, which, if nothing else at all, is guaranteed to be more than ten times more gruelling.

31 days, 16 concert halls, 5000 miles from home and one big state later, Michigan, US indie pop sensation, Trevor Ohlsen and his new manager, Skip are back home in one piece after a monumental experience to remember. Trevor's first official tour is complete, just over a month after signing with his first manager, Skip. The two are already making magic together and are already proving to be a duo that the music industry needs to keep a close eye on. Trevor isn't one of those artists that comes around every decade or so, he is one of those that comes around once in a lifetime. From his songwriting style to the way he plays and even his demeanour, he stands out from the crowd and is always sure to please fans whether live or recorded. His latest full length project, the sensational 16 track album "Trevor Ohlsen" put him on the watch list of every self-respecting indie pop fan and critic locally and he is being hailed as Michigan's next big star. All eyes are on him now anticipating what his next move will be now that he has proved he can not just make a great song but also move the crowd on stage as well, not to mention go without sleep as required.

If you thought chivalry was dead, you'll need to think again. He's bringing sexy back again in more ways than one, but Michigan, US indie pop/rock star, Trevor Ohlsen's purpose in today's music industry is much greater. He's bringing back real music instrumentally, lyrically and stylistically, restoring pop's good name and making music fans feel like they've got something to live for once again.

For discerning fans who likes good music with substance, Trevor is quickly becoming the go-to guy. But in addition to catering to the grossly neglected needs of seasoned music lovers, and being a very young man himself, Trevor also caters to the needs of today's younger generation.

Kicking of the year strong, he released "Michigan", a critically acclaimed record about his hometown that hit the sweet spots of fans of all ages. He quickly followed with two fun pop records, "Slip 'n Slide" in May, and "Calvin Klien" in June, and on the 9th of August, 2018, his next Summer, 2018 single will be released. Here's a sneak preview. [Play video below]

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

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 .

CALVIN KLEIN: BRINGING SEXY BACK AGAIN

Released on the 18th of June, 2018, Michigan, US independent pop star extraordinaire, Trevor Ohlsen's new single for summer 2018, "Calvin Klein" is poised to become a classic that will never be forgotten, very much like CK One, the big kahuna of colognes even up till today. Justin Timberlake brought sexy back a few years ago and then disappeared but Trevor is here to stay.

Boasting almost everything pop music seems to be missing today including a good head on his shoulders, musical direction, a solid repertoire of songs that mean something, respect for the arts, a sound that makes you wish you could touch it, a humble demeanour, a voice with range and last but not the least, a musical instrument that has been mastered well and is not just for show, Trevor has stollen the hearts of pop and rock fans far and wide and is quickly becoming a force to reckon with in both genres. He has already released two noteable singles this year - "Michigan", which was released back in February, and "Slip 'n Slide" which came out just under a month ago in May. Just days after its release, the new single is already turning a lot of ears and fans and critics are already calling it a summer hit that will be remembered for years.

"Calvin Klein" is available to stream and download on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify and all top digital music outlets.

GONE FISHING

It wasn't just his good hair, killer looks and amazing Abs that earned him the nickname, "Rock Jesus" when he made his debut just over a couple of years ago. Trevor Ohlsen was looked upon and is still looked upon as one of those types of artists that don't only come around once in a lifetime but could also single-handledly bring salvation to or at least preserve the essence of a genre.

He's got the voice of an angel, and what could only be described as an intimite connection with his guitar like we haven't seen since artists like Jimi Hendrix. When the Michigan, US indie rock sensation approaches the microphone you can almost hear a pin drop from the silence than ensues - the calm before the storm, as it were. Trevor writes songs about real life, and that's another aspect of his music that makes him special as an artist. He paints pictures, not just of the world around him - like in "Michigan", his critically acclaimed 2018 single released back in February, but also about the world as a whole - like in his song, "This World Could be Beautiful" (listen here) which was released back when he made his debut. This is something we haven't seen since artists like Michael Jackson (Heal the World - listen here).

It's always exciting to get to know what our favorite artists do in their spare time. This week, this is what we found out about Trevor [play video below].

FRIDAY NIGHT!

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

A Friday night is a terrible terrible thing to waste, but that’s not why news about this new record by Michigan’s rising pop star, Trevor Ohlsen is so exciting. Released on the 18th of February, 2022, it’s just one of several new and exciting records that have rained down on the world of indie pop since cities around the world started emerging ever so tentatively from their respective lockdowns. 

Trevor took the world by storm only a few years ago with the release of critically acclaimed independently released records like “This World Could Be Beautiful”, back when it was still cool to wear clothes that fit and women still wore bras if they decided not to button up their shirts for whatever reason. That’s not too long ago wasn’t it? Just over 5 years, maybe even a little less. Yep, but in today’s music industry years, that’s decades. And even though it seems as though times are changing exponentially more so than ever before, and new things are getting really old really really quickly; like every new iPhone, every new silly TikTok dance and every new annoying meme; the music industry is evolving at an even more alarming rate and is churning out music so fast that before long it may become impossible to keep up with the record labels’ new demand for new music and they may finally start unveiling those secret robot supergroups that have been in development in top secret US research facilities for a while now. They can freestyle a hit record in one take like Heavy D with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and belt out high notes fiercer than an unsuspecting newly over 40 year old straight male that just had his cherry popped during a routine check-up that led to a prostate exam for absolutely no reason. What? You haven’t heard? You don’t say. You didn’t hear it here okay? Moving on… Trevor is evolving just as fast and has especially shown tremendous growth over the past couple of years. “Friday Night” followed just over a month after his critically acclaimed 2022 album “These Are My Memories”, but we’ll talk about the new album later. Critics and fans alike are predicting that the record could be a really big summer 2022 hit; and with so many exciting projects making waves all at the same time, it’s safe to say that 2022 will be a pretty significant year in the talented, prolific young Iron Mountain native’s music career.

TONIGHT, IT'S ALL YOU

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

Mondays are such rough days (oops! I almost typed ruff 😊, the internet has got my English all messed up). But yeah, after being naughty all weekend, right up until Sunday night when you still can’t find your socks; you have to head over to the office and pretend you’re the real you and that what people are looking at is not what’s left of the diamond glove, jacket with too many zips wearing Michael Jackson you spent the whole weekend being. Yes, you spend the whole week working hard, it’s okay to totally let go and just be somebody else for 3 days before you put your Lady Diana hat back on at the start of the working week and make the professional world believe you’ve never farted your entire life and God has you on speed dial for when things go wrong in Heaven (he-he-he). It’s so weird because even your boss has eyes that look so heavy you’d have to check them in at the airport and you know it’s not because he/she was working late on Sunday night; well, most of the time at least. Every adult knows the difference between those staying up late at night working eyes and those “I’m starting to get really tipsy, pass me a molly” eyes.

But let's get right down to the reason we are both here, this new song that I’m about to tell you about right now. This track was actually released back in 2021 while we were all locked up in our houses hoping our friends and family didn’t visit. Yes, that’s right I said it. As hard as it is for anyone to admit, the media had the world so messed up mentally that some of us wouldn’t even open the door for our own mothers if they needed to borrow some toilet paper, or some money, or brought a batch of freshly baked brownies even. I’m not saying me, I’m just saying – you know who you are. I know you probably wouldn’t have done it in practise but you know you were thinking it right? No one’s judging you here, I blame CNN and that Sanjay Koothrappali or whatever his name is (don’t worry, it’s good that I don’t remember his real name, so I don’t get sued if he gets mad); and all those scientists that all showed their glorious asses on national and international television. Do you realise that all this while you’ve been going to work and pretending to know everything, whether you knew or didn’t; there were people out there who could go to work and tell their bosses that they knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING? I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears every time I turned on the news and this Koothrappali guy and all those so-called top scientists who could probably tell you everything that is happening on the moon and on mars right now; could get up in a press conference in front of the world and tell the WHOLE world that they don’t know a damn thing. WTF! And that’s not even the bad part, the bad part was that everyone seemed to have been totally fine with it. It makes you wonder who else is out there running the world that doesn’t even know a thing doesn’t it? I mean, the next time I go to the bank with my mask and gloves on for example; should I just tell the cashier my finger is a loaded pistol and that the red panic button under her counter is just a really hard nipple that won’t do anything? Why not? Maybe she wouldn’t know and I could make away with a couple of million in my socks, he-he-he. I’m just saying! Nobody else in the world could get away with going to work and saying they don’t know something and not at least raise an eyebrow or two.

Oh snap, we’ve diverted so far from the main subject of this article haven’t we? My bad, as the African Americans would say 😊. The reason I was talking about that Gupta guy was because I’d been watching him on TV for so long and he made me so uncomfortable until one day I was having a glass of white wine and it dawned on me – this dude always looks like he needs to make poopoo, that’s why. He made me too feel like I needed to do the same thing but I didn’t know – that’s why he made me feel uncomfortable. Either that or he knows something he’s hoping won’t spill out by mistake and he’s metaphorically sh*tting his pants on national television. You’re not going to believe this; autocorrect just flagged me for spelling “sh*tting” with only one “t”, I didn’t even know that was a real word (he-he-he).

But anyway, back to this track.

If you haven’t heard about Michigan’s rising pop sensation Trevor Ohlsen then you are about to discover something so amazing you’ll feel like you did when you discovered your first pube. Yep! I know what you’re thinking, that’s a whole lot of feel-good, it’s impossible. But I promise you, you will. Trevor made himself known locally a few years back with the release of exciting records that didn’t just speak to the soul but took pop music back to a place that was pure both sonically and intellectually. To cut a long story short, he made music that would make teenage girls double dutch rapidly on their tippy toes while screaming frantically and crying like back in the day when they saw Michael Jackson in the flesh for a few seconds before passing out from all the excitement – that kind of music. It only got better with time. The track I speak of, like many indie tracks released over the past couple of years, didn’t get as much publicity as it deserved but something magical happened back in February when it started to go viral and the buzz has been growing exponentially ever since. Originally released on the 30th of April, 2021, “Tonight It’s All You” is available to stream and download on Apple Music, Spotify and all popular digital music streaming and download platforms. And yes, you can listen to it here first. Just scroll down and hit play.
