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. Norma is a singer, musician, and producer from France who recently released her debut album Female Jungle. With a glamorous yet simple, unapologetically feminine, old-Hollywood style, Norma […]
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! […]
One Ok Rock is officially coming to Houston on Monday, March 11th, and they will be playing at the House of Blues!

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 […]
Ruby da Cherry, Suicide Leopard, 7th Ward Lord, Young Plague—the list goes on. These are just a handful of alter egos created by Aristos Pertrou, one-half of the duo known as $uicideboy$.

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 […]
Dig up those boots from your closet, find that plaid shirt you only wear a few times a year, and bring out that Texas twang that comes out around the month of March because it’s rodeo season ya’ll! With Cardi B taking the stage tonight, there are still 16 more concerts to go, meaning there […]
I think there’s been a mistake…With the performance that Naked Giants gave alongside Car Seat Headrest, there were definitely no openers, just two amazing headliners. Vintage tees, Doc Martens, and of course, beanies. That basically sums up the ambience of White Oak Music Hall Wednesday night. What surprised me though, wasn’t the fact the venue […]
