India Dupriez releases an emotional breakup tune, entitled, “Ghost”
|
|
India Dupriez is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from Australia. She released an emotional breakup tune not too long ago, entitled, “Ghost,” the confidence one receives when they realize they are the best that their past partners ever had and will ever get. It’s the lingering impact that your energy and presence hold over a person everywhere they go and they try to subconsciously find you in everyone they meet. The melody came to India one night when a previous part of her life—her ex—admitted that he never really got over her. This song inspires confidence and growth when things aren’t the best in your life. ‘Ghost’ is accepting who you are and ultimately putting your best foot forward at the end of the day. A fun, summer breakup song to scream in the car with your friends.
“‘Ghost’ for me is the confidence you get when you realize you were the best someone ever had. They see everything they could have had and everything they want with you wherever they go. When you realize that you are irreplaceable and your impact sticks and DOESNT go away.” – India Dupriez explained
India Dupriez is riding a steep trajectory to become a major name in pop music. Her unique voice allows her to blend and transcend genres, establishing a style that’s uniquely her own.

Scarlet Ayliz talks about life, the greatest obstacle she had to overcome, and the Internet impact on the music business
|
|
We conducted an intriguing interview not too long ago with Scarlet Ayliz, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter/performer. During our wonderful conversation, she talked about life, the greatest obstacle she had to overcome, and the Internet impact on the music business.
Scarlet Ayliz: I’m from a small town in Massachusetts that I won’t name because I don’t like anyone here. Life here is pretty safe, but the town is almost stuck in the ‘50s/60s and obsessed with nuclear families. My family is blended, so my upbringing has allowed me to know many different walks of life. My family is mixed with different cultures because we’re a combination of Puerto Rican and African American people; not to mention my grandma married a Jewish man. So life in my house has always been pretty groovy and fun.

We conducted an intriguing interview not too long ago with Ladi Rosa, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter/performer. During our conversation, Rosa talked about her “Personal Space” single and the greatest obstacle she had to overcome.
Ladi Rosa: I was born in Connecticut but raised in Florida. I have a younger brother who was born in Florida and both of my parents are Puerto Rican. I really love singing. There’s nothing better than to feel the artist through their words. I believe the love I have for music was all the inspiration I needed. And many different artists played their part in how I write and what I write about. The type of music I create would be more of a soft or love type of music. The process I have for creating is based on how my day is going and how I’m feeling that day; or even what’s going on in my life.
