Covering one of the biggest events in Texas, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with a band from my own country of Iran playing at SXSW.

With SXSW in full swing, I had the opportunity to sit down with one of the most talented international artists featured at this year’s music showcases in Austin.

The Coral Reef Academy, a therapeutic reform school right outside the capital of Samoa, is where Thebe Kgositsile, better known by his stage name Earl Sweatshirt, was sent to just before his final years of high school.

Gone are the days of rap videos being confined to just big booties and chains. While many videos still portray a braggadocious lifestyle and are successful with that approach, thoughtfully original visuals with a noticeable purpose seem to be taking the main stage as of late. From political statements to paying homage to their home, […]
Haiku Hands is an infectious electro-pop trio from Australia who will “Dare You Not to Dance” to their catchy and energetic music. The group comprises of sisters Claire and Mie, who are from Sydney, and their friend Beatrice who is from Melbourne. ‘Haiku’, they say, represents their “lyrical interests, distilled ideas and imagery” and ‘hands’ for […]

“Theater-in-the-round” (also known as an arena stage) has its roots in Greek rituals, only later transitioning into early theater. The audience was a much of a part of the performance as those in the center, and the priests (and later performers) would feed off the energy of the crowd. So it’s only fitting that Panic! […]

Daniel Hernandez is a rapper named Tekashi 6ix9ine from Bushwick, New York City, New York. You have definitely seen or heard of him if you have any type of social media. His antics were hard to ignore as he came into an industry where shock value is the way of getting people attention. He knew how to […]
In light of many recent events, Kanye West has gotten a bit of a bad rep. This is not to say that he has not earned the controversy sparked by his statements, but it is not to say that his legacy should be tarnished either. He is a musician -a famous musician- and I understand […]
Is Deep Cuts’s aesthetic pink silk because it’s in their most recent cover photo on their Facebook page? Or is Chase Harris wrapped in pink silk because it’s their aesthetic? Either way, Deep Cuts sound the way it feels to roll around in pink silk while incense smoke swirls through the air along with thoughts […]

Before Noname took to the stage, her opener Elton was a sight to behold. Elton has the vocal range to make it big. Elton was a challenge to shoot due to how much energy he had. Elton had the fans engaged, from making them laugh to giving out free t-shirts in an effort to hype […]
Slipping herself into a pink, silky nightgown with food stuffed on her palette, Clementine Creevy carries an electric guitar, ready to make one of 2019’s most emo albums. If Cherry Glazerr was a movie, Creevy would be Tarantino—director, writer, and always the front-woman (man). With a vision and plenty of motivation, anything’s possible, well at least […]
