ECHO - The Podcast

If you’re a millennial that was into treasure and scavenger hunts, then you most likely watched the iconic movie series, National Treasure. Years later, now it’s a show on Disney+. With guest appearances and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing the villain, the show is a great watch for avid lovers of mystery and adventure. Antonio Cipriano plays one of the main characters, Oren, who actually was the one who first got kidnapped from Catherine Zeta-Jones. We chatted with Cipriano about his acting career, and moving from Broadway to streaming.

On our latest podcast we chatted with Barny Fletcher. This rising London-based artist has launched his latest mixtape project, JETPACK.

During the early days of COVID, when we were all stuck inside, Barny found opportunity in “the infinite labyrinth, which is the internet.” Delving into the plethora of beats, Barny was inspired by the work of some Platinum and Grammy winning producers.

Blending those hip-hop beats and R&B melodies with his laser sharp lyricism, Barny has produced 10 high-octane tracks to get lost in, including “Weakness” and “Breakfast at Isabel’s.”

We chatted with Barny about the mixtape, performing live, and more!

On this episode we chatted with alt-pop singer-songwriter Sabrina Song.

It’s one thing to put feelings into words, but Sabrina is a master at putting those feelings into song. Her intimate lyrics find meaning in the most nuanced experiences, while her purposeful instrumentation helps to tell the story.

Her latest single “Doors'' is an example of that brilliant artistry. Through the lyrics, Sabrina contemplates a relationship's toxicity and the times she wishes she advocated for herself. That inhibition is also represented through the purposely restrained melody that never hits the expected explosive chorus.

We sat down and chatted with Sabrina Song about the production of the single, her upcoming EP, and more!

In 2014, Australian artist Ben Abraham released his debut album, Sirens to critical acclaim. Riding high on his professional success, Abraham was blissfully unaware of the impending heartbreak and faith crisis that would rock his personal life.

In 2022, those honest lyrics and soulful melodies have culminated with his sophomore album, Friendly Fire via Atlantic Records.

A smoky, feel-good jam full of verve and groove, ‘Be Kind’ itself listens like an anthem for the soul, an antidote to the division and intolerance that Zak sees and feels all around him. Zak says: “We are living through a strange time where it feels like we are so divided and intolerant of people that we disagree with or are different to us. Often, that intolerance is based on someone’s race or religion, sexuality, gender, or identity. To me, the content of one’s character is a much, much more important factor. In a world where you can be anything, I’ll be kind to you. Could you be kind to me?"‘Be Kind’ follows the success of 2020’s ‘Freedom’ — a collaboration with Superstar dance producer Kygo which has since amassed over 100 million streams.

All throughout his life, Nelson has been passionate about music. He always travels with his guitar, and a few years ago while on location, he started writing his own songs. When Nelson returned to Los Angeles, he shared a demo with one of his vocal coaches, DAVE STROUD, and Dave introduced him to up-and-coming music producer JACOB MCCASLIN. Together the two began collaborating on what would become Nelson’s debut single: “21st Century Love.”

Nelson got the idea for the song when he was on a dating app and matched with a beautiful red headed girl, whom he knew nothing about, yet couldn’t get out of his mind. Perplexed by how real his attraction felt, Nelson wanted to write a song that explored the changing landscape of loneliness, intimacy, and the desire for connection in our technology-dependent modern age.

The music video was shot in April of 2020 at the beginning of the Pandemic, as the deserted streets of Los Angeles provided the ideal setting to express the themes of the song. At the crack of dawn, Nelson and Co-Director, LA celebrity photographer, COLLIN STARK, embarked on a socially distanced shoot to capture the one-take video that also features one of Nelson's passions: tap dancing.

File under “mellifluous.” That’s how Los Angeles’ Powell Aguirre likes to think of the music he makes as Surf Mesa. It’s electronic, but full of organic texture. It’s rooted in dance, but sounds best by the light of the full moon. It’s sweet, but also thoughtful. In other words, as Surf puts it, “music for good feels.” That phrase certainly sums up his biggest hit to date, “ily (i love you baby)” featuring Emilee, a tropically tinged bop that was born on TikTok, but quickly conquered listening platforms around the world, amassing over820million combined streams to date, topping U.S. and Global Viral Charts, and debuting on Top 40 radio. Early press has included Rolling Stone, Billboard, HITS, Idolator, Soundazed and Fresh Music Freaks.

Though he’s only 20, Surf has logged an impressive number of hours honing his craft. He grew up in Sammamish, Washington, outside Seattle, where an older brother hooked him up with FL Studio –when Surf was in third grade. The summer after his senior year,Surf broke his leg and was bedridden for months. Unexpectedly, that time stuck at home paid off in the form of an EP, titled bedroom, of course. When the cast came off, he wasted no time moving in with musician friends in Los Angeles.

Then one night scrolling TikTok, he came across Batesville, Arkansas’ Emilee Flood playing an acoustic cover of Frankie Valli’s 1967 hit “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” Captivated by her honeyed voice, Surf dropped the audio into his DAW and, within hours, had posted his remixon SoundCloud. Soon, label reps were blowing up his phone. He signed with Astralwerks.

There’s no shortage of collaborations in the works, beginning with Surf’s remix of Marshmello and Halsey’s “Be Kind” and his new single, “Somewhere” ft. Gus Dapperton. While the electronic landscape evolves at a dizzying speed, Surf knows what he wants from his own music. He calls it “electronic alternative”–a style that balances digital textures with piano, guitar, and even acoustic drums, and focuses on songwriting as much as sick beats. It’s catchy. It’s chill. It’s mellifluous.

We chatted with Surf Mesa about his music and future in the music industry and much more.

After climbing the charts in 2019, Irish pop group, Wild Youth are poised for global domination with their catchy new single, “Next To You.”

Hugo showed an affinity towards writing music from an early age. After beginning piano lessons at the age of 10, he began composing original works. After about six-months of lessons, his teacher relocated, and due to the inability to find another who was a good fit, he continued teaching himself with the use of books and the internet.
