Mind Noise
I have been reliving that awkward first moment when one of your most replayed songs is the one with your own voice on it! I wonder if I will get used to it. This feels like a good time to share the recurring themes I have noticed as of late. I find myself frequently inspired, and the wonderful thing is that the inspiration comes to me in many forms. For instance, the Flying Lotus show which I attended at The Wiltern was everything amazing that I expected, but there was something he said about how the things we create make us immortal that truly hit me at the right moment.…

Make way for the new. . .
New ideas, new ambitions, new manifestations! New VIRGO Moon! Today I am searching for a piece of mind that is weightless. I am searching for weightlessness so that I might fill it with energy of the greatest channeling I have ever done. If you are anything like I can be, you might constantly imagine ways to make yourself better. And if you’re even more like me, you tend to struggle with the manifestation of what you come up with every now and then. Sometimes I feel these blocks have a lot to do with having so much happening at once. Do you ever feel that way? Not just distracted, but…

Malia EP
New soul goddess alert! I already look forward to hearing more from Malia’s gorgeous, soothing voice! The sensuousness of the opening song Satisfaction makes me want to vibe out in a dark room with some candles and maybe a few loved ones. I can imagine her live set as something similar. The messages of growth and enlightenment on this project are perfectly crafted and this excites me. Dull Aches has me locked in pretty tight. The project also features a collaboration with The Internet. Take a listen, fall in love, and follow the links for more on Malia. maliavibes.com facebook.com/MaliaVibes

Tiffany Gouche – Fantasy EP
I caught myself staring at the cover art for this project for a while. I don’t know the artist, but I have to find out. I’ll also be bumping this EP for the remainder of summer, and the year. I loved this beautiful project even more after my second listen. There’s always something about the second listen that really hooks you onto something, I notice. The first one turns your head but it’s that replay that gets you to fall in love. The entire EP, from beginning to end is pure, fresh r&b genius to me. The bass on some of these songs is just amazing! Enjoy!

Allan Kingdom – Future Memoirs
Delivering some more NEW waves! I have been listening to Future Memoirs for a few days now, and it feels perfect to add to my growing list of music here on the frolic. The Spooky Black feature is what led me to this and other previous and equally stunning EPs by Minnesota native Allan Kingdom. Their collaboration on Wavey is one of my favorites, besides Evergreens, Souls, Famines, and Context, which all add a flavor to this rare sound. I LOVE the production on this project. Some of the sounds, when lined with his flow is really interesting and awesome! His amazing production skills and flow grants a high place…

Purple Ferdinand’s Dragon Fly EP
We are fortunate to be exposed to the internet, because those like myself get to discover amazing artists based across the country and seas who I might otherwise hear about years from now, if ever. Some of my favorite musicians are coming from the U.K., such and Etta Bond, Little Simz, Rainy Milo, and this latest feature, Purple Ferdinand. Even Full Crate and Mar (Netherlands) join the grip of artists coming out of Europe whose sounds pull at me greater than half of the artists ruling America’s urban/pop radio record. So, onto Purple Ferdinand. With one look at this girl, even with her gloriously inked skin and style, her gentleness…

Project Feed: L.A. needs Vendors! (updated June 19th)
I’ll soon update this post with more details, but a friend of mine along with over forty other people (including myself and we’re growing!) will partake in a 2-Day fundraising event to feed the homeless residents of Los Angeles. This will be Project Feed’s very first festival here in Los Angeles and the people need all of the help we can get. We want artists and business owners of all sorts to partake in this event. I know that I’ve always wanted to contribute of something as beautiful and BIG as this will be and as with everything else this year, my dreams are coming closer. We are prepping a…

Freely Observing
I have practiced living freely lately. What does it mean to live freely? I notice that most people think of it in terms of financial stability. Being able to buy whatever you like and go wherever you like because you have all of the money you’ve ever dreamed of is what those in this age consider freedom. This is fair, but I am happier than ever while being far from my financial goals. So, what do I mean exactly? When I say FREELY, I mean living, breathing, walking around with acknowledgement of mental blocks that threaten to stop me from doing what I want, whatever it maybe. Fear is an…

Yeah baby, I like it RAW!
All RAW everything! At least for the next two weeks… I’m currently experiencing my sixth day of the twenty day HERBAL cleanse I’m doing which requires that I adopt an all raw food diet. Yup! This means that I am not consuming anything that has been processed with sugar and artificial flavors and other chemicals that we know make up the foods we consume regularly. No dairy products, or anything of animal origin has entered me since this past Monday! Once again, I’m amazed by the timing of this particular adventure because I’ve been interested in improving my diet, but I always thought it would be too expensive to start…

To the (Young) Women and the Lovers
This month has been amazing, thus far! I’m inspired both with my upcoming raw food exploration and just by the people I’ve been coming across in life daily. Isn’t that the best? Music continues to grow new roots and I’m excited to challenge myself and see what I can really do with it. It’s now manifesting itself in even more corners of my reality, like at work (I just started in an office and discovered there’s actually a studio in the back! haha Awesome, right?). I decided to let go of all of the negative figures in my life as well. I have leaned towards excuses to keep those causing…
