@chubbyrain_ is an Egyptian bred, DMV raised artist making some noise out of Los Angeles, California

Published

on

SHERIF is making noise out of Los Angeles, California. An Egyptian bred, DMV raised artist, SHERIF moved out to Los Angeles and hasn’t looked back since. SHERIF has built up quite a catalog over a few years now, with records like Another Life, Delilah, and Leave Me Hanging. A versatile artist for sure, SHERIF’s music will be sure to leave you feeling some sort of way. With some genre-bending tunes and a versatile sound, SHERIF is an artist to lookout for in the new year.

In the meantime, check out our interview with SHERIF below.

Do you tend to make music for yourself or with the listener in mind?
I think in order to be a successful musician you have to reach that perfect dichotomy of commercial appeal and artistic vision, the place where business meets art. I always want to make hits, but at the same time I only ever make music I truly love. Music is therapy so it’s definitely for myself, but If it moves me chances are it moves others. I”m making the exact kind of music I want to make right now and I’m really happy about that. 
Any plans for a project? When do you plan on dropping it?
What It’s Like To Be Human will be released at the beginning of the new year. It will be followed by two sequels to complete a trilogy saga by the end of the year. 
How old were you or what exact moment stands out to you that made you start taking your musical career a bit more serious?
I was back and forth early on with taking it seriously or just doing it for fun. I think when I first heard myself professionally mixed in a studio setting is the moment I declared I had to do it for life. I just knew that it’s what I was born to do. 

For new listeners, what are 3 must listen records from SHERIF?
Illusion Heaven Another Life
What do you want the listeners or fans to take away from your music?
They came away feeling better than they did before. They got some therapy. They got some closure on their relationship. They got inspired to create things themselves and to write their ideas down on paper and make them happen. 

Any shows or events planned in the near future?
I’m currently holding a residency at Sofitel Hotel Beverly Hills as a creative director throwing special themed events every month. The next show will take place on 11/20. I will also be doing my first show in the DMV in 3 years on 12/23. Beyond excited for the homecoming.

BermudaCal’s Music Video Mastery takes centerstage leading up to new album “The Divinity of Doubt”

Published

on

By

In a world where the essence of urban culture is often captured within the constraints of a stereotypical narrative, BermudaCal stands out as the true architect of soundscapes that redefine experimental rap. The recent release of his music videos “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright,” “Pulse,” “Silver Lining,” and “GOD” is more than an introduction to his album The Divinity of Doubt; it is an invitation to an immersive experience of a complex soul. BermudaCal bares his spirituality, layering his raps with varied vocal tones to convey a complex relationship with faith and the often-frustrating pursuit of understanding mental health in a world that can feel indifferent.

Directed by the unseen lens of New York’s shadows, “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright” captures the essence of the city’s pulsating contradiction. Filmed in Brooklyn’s chilling December air, the music video offers a backdrop of engaging beats and melancholy piano melodies that juxtapose the dark lyrical themes portrayed. “Pulse” is an embodiment of life lived out loud, set against the electrifying backdrop of Times Square. BermudaCal channels the ceaseless energy of the city that never sleeps, merging genres and unraveling the cadence of urban nights. The visuals are vibrant and frenetic, mirroring the relentless rhythm of the iconic locale, making every viewer feel the potent buzz of the metropolitan pulse.

Set amidst the tranquility of Central Park, “Silver Lining” explores the yearning for unwavering love and devotion. Through the fusion of evocative jazz hooks and the modern cadences of hip-hop, BermudaCal creates a track teeming with poignant questioning and rich metaphors, crowned with a haunting saxophone solo. With “GOD,” BermudaCal returns to his roots in Bermuda. The intimacy of this track is amplified by the personal visuals, shot by Edd Roberts and PIGG FILMS, which juxtapose the grandeur of natural landscapes with the internal struggle of seeking divine answers.

BermudaCal’s music genius doesn’t merely operate within the music but within the fabric of the urban tapestry, where each video becomes a time capsule for the contemporary state of being.
