AS AN ARTIST IN

ARTICLE BY Christine Sloman

hen starting a career in music, artists have different goals in mind. There are some who just want their music to be heard, grateful to have a small following, and there are others who want to be the next Taylor Swift, achieving historic levels of success at every turn. No matter the goal, everyone starts out the same – with a song in their heart and a desire to be discovered. But in 2024, how does an up-and-coming artist stand out? Where do you start? It makes sense to establish your voice and your identity first. Tap into a sound that helps foster your narrative as an artist. Are you going to make unapologetic rock music, or are you trying to be the quiet, mysterious singer-songwriter? Maybe your sound is something that can’t be categorized, but regardless, you want to tap into a sound that others will hear and recognize

as 100% you. On top of sound, when you think about your favorite artist, do they have a signature style or something that makes them unique? It could be a fedora, a haircut that hides their face, pink socks, green and black hair – a trademark that grabs a fan’s attention and holds interest. Once you have a “brand” together, get yourself out there. When trying to find information about an artist, some of the first things someone would do is look for their website, their social media, and their YouTube channel. If you can’t be found, then you won’t be noticed. It is essential to give everyone plenty of opportunities to come across your content. Another thing to do is be sure to link all of your social accounts. If you have a website, add links to your Instagram, Spotify, or TikTok pages. It also helps to have consistent

social media handles – try not to change your “@” from one platform to another. If you can help it. After your music is posted and your digital media presence settled, start networking. If possible, perform at local bars or restaurants that have open mic nights or designated slots for bands and artists. Occasionally, festivals may need local artists to open an event, so be aware of what is going on in your community and stay on top of what could become available. It might be scary at first, but social media presence is only the beginning. How can you expect to stand out if other new artists are also posting content on the same platforms? Be different and connect with audiences in the real world. When you do perform, stick around before or after and hang out with those who came out; if you have any merch or EPs, hand

those out. Find other artists you like and see if they would be interested in a collab. It could be something like exchanging verses on a song or recording a duet to post on socials. The more friends you make in the scene, the more they could refer you to other musicians or fanbases that could help foster your popularity.

“EVEN IF YOU GET TURNED DOWN, AT LEAST YOU GOT YOUR NAME OUT THERE. CONTACT IS KEY.” Do not be afraid to get in touch with music journalists. When you come across a music website or a blog that you like, see if they take submissions. If so, piece together a press release that will give them an

idea of who you are. Don’t forget to include a brief bio, information about your upcoming song or project, links to your music, and any social media accounts you may have. Even if you get turned down, at least you got your name out there. Contact is key. Finally, maintain your presence. Keep active on social media by commenting, replying to DMs, posting. Don’t stop there though, be sure to follow other artists and engage with them, especially if your sounds are similiar. You never know what new fan may be lingering in the comments. Even if you don’t have any new songs or projects coming out for a while, you want to keep your audience engaged and eager. Whether it’s a tease for something you’re currently working on or a breakdown about something you have already released, you want to get it out there. Posting every day isn’t required, but

MELODIC MAGAZINE

“IN THE END, IF YOU CONSISTENTLY PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE AND DELIVER, YOU WILL STAND OUT.”

MELODIC MAGAZINE

you can’t disappear and expect your audience to stick around. If you have no idea what to post, get creative, repurpose old content, or find ways to get your fans involved. It is important to make them feel included or seen; give them an exclusive poll or a Q&A. As tons of new artists emerge every day, the competition is tough. You may be compelled to do something drastic like Lady Gaga and show up in a meat dress at your next karaoke night, but I can assure you that there is no need to do so. Doing these basic tasks is all you need to get on someone’s radar. You would be surprised

at how many artists fail to network or forget to upload content. Once they start skipping out, they fall behind, get lost in the new artist shuffle, and eventually fade away. In the end, if you consistently put yourself out there and deliver, you will stand out. Good luck!

THERE’S A

PLAYLISTFOR THAT Playlist 101

In a world of a myriad of musical genres and artists, curating the perfect playlist has become an art form that allows individuals to create a personalized soundtrack for their lives. Whether you’re gearing up for a workout, looking to unwind after a long day, or hosting a gathering with friends, a carefully crafted playlist can set the tone and enhance the overall experience.

12 12

1. Define the Purpose:

2. Diversity Matters:

Before diving into the world of music, it’s crucial to define the vibe of your playlist. Is it for an event? Mood? Activity? Knowing the intended purpose will guide your song choices and allow for a cohesive flow throughout the playlist. If you were looking to curate a playlist for studying, you wouldn’t want to include those high-energy workout tracks or tracks used for a late night with your friends.

A well-rounded playlist features a diverse selection tracks, artists, and time periods. Unless your playlist is specific to one artist, don’t limit yourself to a single genre or sound. Instead, explore different sounds that appeals to a wide variety of taste. Mix up old favorites with new discoveries and blend different styles to keep the listener engaged.

Curating the perfect playlist is one of the best ways to not only express yourself, but create something tailored to any event. The perfect Sunday stroll wouldn’t be complete without that ‘Sunday Mood’ playlist you created. Or how about that playlist that hits you right in the feels that you created back Freshman year of college? No matter the playlist, if done correctly, can be a staple to anyones music library. So, put on your curator hat, explore the vast world of music, and get to creating.

3. Consider the Audience:

4. Embrace Nostalgia:

Sometimes, a playlist is just for you and that is okay. However, if you’re creating a playlist for a shared audience, consider your listeners. Take into account the musical tastes of those who will be sharing the experience and find a balance of tracks that ensures everyone enjoys every song, all the way down to the ones they don’t know. Afterall, playlists is about discovering new artists.

Nostalgia tends to make people feel more socially connected and evoke a sentimental value. Whether it’s a song from your childhood, a track that played during a significant life event, or a timeless classic, those songs can create a deeper emotional connection with your playlist and listeneres. Although, everyones idea of nostalgia is different, we all know those timeless classics that hit you right in the feels.

The words “slow” or “down” don’t exist in Knox’s vocabulary. In fact, ever since his hit song “Sneakers” took off Summer 2022, his songs have been running through people’s heads ever since. Knox Morris is from Dayton, Ohio and his move to Nashville cemented his commitment to pursuing music full time and never looking back. Not to be dramatic or anything, but why would he? He’s got an upcoming sold-out headlining tour, 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, and more than 20 million streams on his latest EP, I’m So Good At Being Alone?. Self-taught and tastefully self-deprecating, it seems ironic that someone who gained such a loyal fanbase so quickly had never picked up a guitar before freshman year of college. Knox’s mellow demeanor is a delightful contrast to the intensity at which he works. He moves casually and the conversations flow like you were catching up with an old friend who still remembered your favorite color and inside jokes from way back when. He mentions every chance he gets that he’s making music with his best friends, never failing to mention them and expressing his graciousness to make it happen. It’s this genuineness that allows his music to be authentic, one of the many reasons it resonates with fans, new and old. We had the opportunity to chat with Knox, about being on tour, about writing his latest EP, and we finally settle the MJ versus Gwen debate. Melodic Mag: How are you? Knox: Dude, I’m good, just freaking busy. Busy as all could be. It’s kind of crazy. You get off tour and you’re like “Alright it’s time to chill” and that has just been the exact opposite of what has happened since I got back from tour. But it’s been awesome. We’re doing so much! We’re finishing up new songs and doing a bunch of fan stuff. We’re stoked to have you! What is your reaction to being on the zine cover? It’s so crazy because it still blows my mind that I’m even an artist or in this position so let alone be the cover of a magazine. I never thought I would be in such a position like that so it’s funny to see. But I love it man, it’s so cool, and I’m super grateful to be in the position that I’m in.

We saw that you released “Girl on The Internet” and prior to releasing it, you played it live. How was it playing that live, despite the song not being out yet? It was cool! The song was supposed to be on my first, EP How To Lose A Girl in 7 Songs, so we’ve had it forever. I’ve actually never played a show without playing it. It was always kind of a song that was slept on. Like, “Eh we’re just doing this and if it doesn’t do well, that’s fine.” We figured that was going to happen. We posted it and the internet loved it too. It’s been played on Sirius XM and it’s my second song to be played on the radio a couple different times! It’s been amazing to see the reaction, mainly because it was just so under respected.

MELODIC MAGAZINE

INTERVIEW: KNOX

That must be so validating, when you have a song that was slept on that didn’t make the first EP and you’re like “I don’t know if I made the right choice.” But more than just the girls on the internet, I feel like everybody on the internet is enjoying it. Yeah, I think we made the right choice with it. Cause it would have been on How To Lose A Girl in 7 Songs, it wouldn’t have had its moment. Now it’s having its own little thing which I think is cool. During the New York show back in December, people were still stinging it. I thought, “Am I missing something?” I hadn’t even posted the video yet, I was mind blown too. I was like “how do these people know?!” Last year we did a show in Columbus, and that show was recorded and put on YouTube. I talked to the guys who were singing during that show and was like “how did you guys know that?” and they said that they had watched the video a million times and they were waiting for it to come out. It’s so cool to be an opener and have people that are that dedicated and that into it that they’re watching YouTube videos of unreleased songs and knowing every word, it’s so crazy!

Young Rising Sons, funnily enough, actually opened for The 1975 10 years ago. The world is so small! How funny is that? I can’t believe they did that! They were telling me about it, and I was like “What?! I’ll cry right now.”

IT’S SO COOL TO BE AN OPENER AND HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT DEDICATED...”

Congratulations on the release of your second EP, I’m So Good At Being Alone? What was something you found most challenging writing this EP as opposed to your first one? I would say absolutely the most challenging was that there was expectation now. The first EP we made, I never even put out music we just made an EP of songs. It was just “Well, I hope this does good,” and it did! It did so It’s such dedication from the fanbase! good and then you’re making a second one Your previous tour with Nightly and Young and now you have eyes on you. Like “Oh Rising Sons, the blend was really great and these are good, but what else does he have? everybody looked like they were having Can he do it, can he do it again?” a good time. It was a blast being out with them. The That is a lot of weird pressure that I’ve never Young Rising Sons guys are so much fun. It felt before. But I think we did it, I think we kind of sucked cause we only did four shows even topped How To Lose A Girl in 7 Songs. with them, I wish we could have just done Don’t get me wrong, I love How To Lose like twenty with them. They were a blast! The A Girl in 7 Songs, I’m super proud of the Nightly guys are amazing too and they’re project and everything, but I feel like on I’m one of my favorite bands ever, so to be on So Good At Being Alone? we pushed the tour with them and to be able to call them boundaries of what we were capable of, and I good homies is so, so sick. feel like we did that successfully. 16

MELODIC MAGAZINE

INTERVIEW: KNOX

I’m so proud of it. I love the project because if some of my favorite artists put out those songs, they would be my favorite songs. Especially songs like “Not The 1975,” “Love Letter,” or “I’m So Good At Being Alone.” If The Band Camino put out “Not The 1975,” I would’ve been like “This is the greatest song I’ve ever heard!” I just loved it so much. I’m definitely super proud of what it became. That was definitely the hardest part, having eyes on myself for the first time. You never want to put yourself or any artist in a box because there’s always room for growth, whether you grow this way or that way. Yeah, 100%. That’s my favorite part. Even the new stuff that we’ve been making is light years different than anything else that we’ve ever made. I don’t want people to know what’s coming next. You know how some artists will be like “you’re not ready to hear the new song” and then they put it out and it’s the exact same thing? When you surprise your existing fanbase you can actually reach more people because the sound was different than it was before.

just made that! That was us!” It was like my dream project. I’ve always wanted to make this kind of music and we did that. Then also on top of that, going out and playing shows and seeing so many people and seeing how much you connected with so many different people literally all over the country. That’s something. Especially when you make the songs in your friend’s bedroom.. even still. Yes, I’m signed to Atlantic, but at the end of the day it’s still just me and my best friends making songs in our bedrooms, nothing has changed about that. To just see how many people it touches is just such a mindboggling trip, it’s wild. You just released your newest single “Here’s to Us” and you are also heading out on your first ever headlining tour, that just happens to be sold out. What else can we expect from Knox in the next coming months? Do you plan on taking a break? Releasing more new music? More tour dates? After all, the grind never stops. The plan for 2024 is to basically ramp everything up. We’re going to release as much music and play as many shows as we can. The grind is not going to stop!

My goal is to have a show that doesn’t matter what kind of music you listen to, there is going to be something that you absolutely love and it’ll be your favorite thing. And that’s We can’t wait to see where 2024 takes always my goal in making stuff. Knox and are excited to be along for it! What is the most rewarding thing you learned about yourself while making this second EP? Honestly, it kind of goes into the same thing like if my favorite artist put out these songs. There’s no better feeling than when you’re with your friends and you make a song and you play it through and you sit back and look around the room, you’re like “holy shit, we 18

STELLA. “DREAMING”

After 5 years, Stella. is back with a brand new single, “Dreaming.” After his Amalfi EP in 2018, he took time to “turn inward, and focus on rebuilding his connection to music, life, and ultimately, himself.” “Dreaming” is the beginning of his upcoming second EP, A Study In Balance.

#INDIE-POP, #POP-ROCK SIMILAR ARTISTS: Noah Kahan, Paolo Nutini LISTEN: “Back to Me,” “Lovely Mistake”

Throughout “Dreaming”, he conveys emotion with ease - especially when admitting to feelings of uncertainty - powerful enough to make him question his reality. He sings, “I’m on the edge of on the brink / It gets hard to breathe, hard to think / I don’t know if I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming.”

BANNERS “PERFECTLY BROKEN (DUET VERSION)”

BANNERS continues to captivate audiences with his distinct style with his latest single titled “Perfectly Broken (Duet Version).” The track will be featured on his upcoming album, All Back to Mine, which is set to be released on April 19. “Perfectly Broken (Duet Version)” is a bedroom pop ballad that still provides some hope amidst the melancholy. The song offers a new perspective on how self-perception and societal standards in the media impact us. BANNERS wish that people could learn to accept their flaws and appreciate the qualities that make them so unique.

Paul Russell has always had a knack for creating bubbly, infectious music. After the success of “Lil Boo Thang,” his newest track “Say Cheese” keeps spirits light and fresh. Over the shimmering riffs, fun bass, and gleeful horns, Paul plays up the whole “successful artist” act. He paints an indulgent picture, giving us lines like, “Say cheese / Steppin’ out, purple Mercedes / Fall in love, why don’t you make me? / You want a picture, just say please / Baby, wearing this fit that they gave me / Baby, this isn’t from Macy’s.” His swag is absolutely undeniable and his momentum is encouraging, as if we should join him.

COMFORT CLUB “TWO KIDS IN A TRENCH COAT”

Comfort Club (Colin Tracey) makes dreamy indiepop that’s therapy for the ears. He combines mellow instrumentation with his vulnerable lyricism to transport a listener into his own world. “Two Kids In A Trench Coat,” serves as the introductory single to Comfort Club’s highly anticipated debut album and might not strike you as a heartfelt testament to Tracey’s inner thoughts based on the title, but that’s exactly what it is. With lyrics such as, “You say you’ll stay forever, even when you know you won’t,” this new single encapsulates the beauty in being honest with yourself about why some things just can’t work out. Among themes of vulnerability and apology, this song also carries beautiful production elements that will make you feel like you’re floating.
