Ever since I heard Jena Rose’s “Paper Walls” I knew she had talent. Now, she’s 18 and just released her shimmering new song “Manners” and after touring with Echosmith and Why Don’t We, she’s definitely on the right path. We talked to her about the new song and growing up in the music world. You’re 18 now!!! You decided to …
Yoshi Flower had one of the most exciting shows we saw during SXSW. At the WFNM showcase he climbed up on the amps and hovered over the audience, playing his guitar with his teeth. His energy on stage is incredible and his songs are so original. We chatted with him about the crazy performance. Do you kind of feed off …
I caught Your Smith at the Empire Garage as part of Neon Gold’s SXSW Showcase. Ever since I heard “The Spot” I’ve been dying to see Your Smith live, and she definitely didn’t disappoint.

Minke’s SXSW show at the British Music Embassy was so packed I could hardly see her, she’s so tiny and sings the saddest songs but somehow makes it rock n’ roll. In the most sxsw fashion, we chatted in an alley after her set. So let’s get started with how you got started in music. Minke: So my dad used to …
The guys of Fatherson know how to tell a good story. I met with them before one of their many SXSW shows and after detailing their love for margaritas it was clear their personalities influence their music. It’s only their second time at SXSW but they were part of NPR’s “Austin 100” a list of the top 100 acts to catch …

We talked to him about his new music, politics in songs, and his van sessions. First off what’s the story behind “Burn It Down”? Burn It …
I didn’t know what I was getting into when I first saw Charlotte OC at the Neon Gold Showcase during SXSW. Her voice is so powerful and she sings with so much emotion that it gave me goosebumps. We talked to her about her new song “Boyfriend” and how to find yourself. So, let’s start from the beginning, how did …
Love You Later has the dreamy space pop vibes that we truly love.

So, let’s get started with how you got started in music. Love You Later: Okay. So, my parents were both musicians; I always …
We love SXSW and one of our favorite things is seeing all the up-and-coming artists that we’ve been listening to all year. One of our favs, Flavia, first got our attention with “Hateful” and with her latest, “I Don’t Wanna Be Here” she is easily one of our fav indie pop-stars. We can’t wait to see her at her showcase …
Greyson Chance got his start really young, a video of his cover of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” skyrocketed to viral fame. He appeared on Ellen, he got a record deal, but it wasn’t what he thought it would be. He ended up taking a hiatus and rediscovering himself. You have a famous origin story, can you tell me how you got …
