“Let your light shine”: GodsNd Is Sharing His Gifts with The World

Published

on

GodsNd is more than just an artist making his breakthrough in the industry. He has big plans and major visions, and hopes to carry them out with his passion for music; honed abilities writing lyrics, producing, and structuring melodies; and love for his community back home in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Seated at the intersection between neo-90’s R&B and commercial pop (“Bryan McKnight meets Adele,” as he describes), GodsNd is focused on staying true to himself and his sound— unapologetically. 

Having been in the industry for 5 years now, GodsNd is hardly new to the game. “I really wanted to take this seriously after writing and producing heavily during my latter part of high school and all throughout college,” GodsNd, born Jean Godsend Floradin, reflects on his transition into music. The artist was heavily inspired by 90s R&B. “The music had lyrics that told a story, a well-developed structure that included a bridge, and something that just left you feeling changed by the end,” he explains. GodsNd brings those influences back into his music with his characteristic style. Known for the particular way he pairs his lyrical choreography with the vocal leads and harmonies in his music’s melodic structure, the best way to denote GodsNd’s musical style is with its fluidity. That fluidity and utter relentlessness to be himself with complete authenticity have taken him far, and then some. His proudest moments include hearing his song played on the radio for the first time and winning Atlanta’s Coast2Coast competition. GodsNd has also worked on the Tony-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton, and has begun doing his own work with Ne-yo. 

Indeed, GodsNd is persisting on his mission— to continue manifesting, keep building, and eventually give back to his community. On top of his musical accomplishments, GodsNd has performed at hospitals and community events with his Hamilton cast, hoping to share the same love for creativity and innovation—the love that has inspired so much of his work and life—with others. “I have a vision board where I have several things I’d love to manifest,” he says. “One of those would be a Billboard #1. I’d also love to open up an arts school in my home country of Haiti.” At his core, GodsNd wants to lead by example. “I’m just being me, and we all have a story to tell,” he notes. “Everyone’s story is valid, and once you start to appreciate that, you understand that all you need to do is let your light shine unapologetically, and people will notice. They will see you in them.” 

Stream GodsNd’s latest singles “Y.O.U.” and “Stop the World” on Spotify and Apple Music, and follow him on Instagram @JGodsNd and Youtube to keep up with his music, watch his latest visuals, and support his work!

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

Published

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.
