  • Rosemarie Talks New Album Rock, Paper, Scissors: Recut, Tattooing Herself & So Much More!

    Rosemarie Talks New Album Rock, Paper, Scissors: Recut, Tattooing Herself & So Much More!
    May 2 2024
    Ever reminisce about that first ink you got, maybe hidden from your parents or on a whim with friends? That's where we kick things off in our latest podcast episode, as I open up about tattoos' profound impact on my life, from my early days of getting inked to considering a career as a tattoo artist. The multi-talented Rosemary joins in, sharing her escapades from the "Rock Paper Scissors, recut" tour with Aaron Ray and the electrifying experience of live performances. We swap tales of sold-out shows and the admiration that comes from sharing the stage with artists who ignite your creativity.

    Adaptability isn't just a skill; it's an art form when it comes to live performances, and this episode paints the picture of embracing the unexpected. From technical hiccups to heart-stopping moments onstage, we take you through the thrills and spills that define an artist's journey. I reflect on how my Dominican and Puerto Rican roots have infused my music and discuss the rebirth of a dream, thanks to a pivotal friend's support and an indie label's faith. Each performance is a story of resilience, a testament to the passion that fuels us musicians to keep the beat going, no matter what.

    In the forge of creativity, collaboration is king, and we delve into the alchemy of making music with insights from our own experiences. Discover how visual art and raw emotion interplay in creating memorable performances and how a song can become a personal anthem. Rosemary and I also explore the natural evolution of musical partnerships, reflecting on our LA roots and the organic growth of these collaborations. Wrapping it up with a game of "Questions That Need Answers," we unpack personal growth, share a chuckle over our tattoo journeys, and muse on the quest for artistic authenticity. Join us for an episode that promises not just stories but the shared heartbeats of artists baring their souls.

  • DON’T BE A WEIRDO: Crafting a Legacy & Mastering the Media Game ft Dame Ritter

    DON’T BE A WEIRDO: Crafting a Legacy & Mastering the Media Game ft Dame Ritter
    Apr 20 2024

    Imagine stepping off the corporate ladder and diving headfirst into the rhythm and rhyme of the music industry; that's the journey Dame Ritter, the brain behind Funk Volume, shares with us. This episode is a front-row seat to the candid conversation about Dame's leap from a secure job to the unpredictable world of tunes and talent. We exchange hearty chuckles and sincere sentiments on what it means to be called an 'OG' or 'auntie' in the business – titles that come with a mixed bag of respect and misperceptions for seasoned professionals. There's also a peek into Dame's current dance with music distribution at Too Lost, an invaluable platform transforming how artists share their music with the world.

    As we navigate the twists and turns of the music scene, we reflect on personal career stumbles and the birth of the Music Entrepreneur Club, which steps in to educate rising artists where traditional resources fall short. This episode peels back the layers on the art of networking, emphasizing the importance of reaching out when you're in the best position to offer value. We also stir the pot in the hip-hop media debate, dissecting the integrity of platforms that shape the narrative, while advocating for those who authentically resonate with the culture.

    Wrapping up, our dialogue ventures into the realm of social media and its dual role as a career catalyst and a minefield for artists. Dame unveils his strategy for content creation, from the engaging "We Need to Talk" series to supporting fresh faces through Certified Vibe. We also broach the delicate balance between online engagement and maintaining personal safety, and the broader implications of a generation coming of age in a digitally saturated world. This episode isn't just talk; it's an exploration of the symbiosis between music, culture, and the digital threads that connect us all.
