Emerging Star: MADDNESS

2015-10-08T11:48:00.004-07:00

Posted: November 1st

L.A. aka Maddness lived a rough life on the move between foster homes in a domestic violence environment, but was mainly raised by his grandmother that has blessed him with great values. Although his birth mother couldn’t be the parental figure in his life, she is in his heart always for all the best that she has tried to do. Maddness for the most part had to learn the do’s and don’ts from the streets the rest of the way. He was inspired musically by Curtis Mayfield, 2Pac, and Michael Jackson. At an early age, music seem to be a great outlet away from the negativity that he has seen on a daily basis.

His neighborhood held talent shows so the aspiring young could display their hidden talents. After he saw the reaction of the crowd when he recorded his first song, Maddness became very passionate about his craft.

Bio by Kristen Arnett

From an early age, Adam Matthew Smith has dabbled in a variety of expressive forms, spanning the gamut from piano and guitar to painting and the graphic arts. He is a writer and lyricist who is focused on developing interesting content, putting that same originality into his scoring. His work displays ambient, ethereal tones as well as darker, experimental rhythms. These themes are rooted in nostalgia and romance, but are also paired alongside reflection and solitude. Above all, his work strives for honesty.

Adam’s solo career began with instructional jazz and blues guitar, but his passions quickly shifted into constructing more aggressive rock-based compositions. These interests guided the formation of the band Mercury Frost (1998-2003), which allowed him to shift his writing to a heavier, darker sound. Immediately after this project came After the Silence (2003), a solo endeavor which allowed Adam to focus more on his interest in conjuring original compositions. From the darker sounds of Mercury Frost and his solo experimental work emergedOur Divided Fortune (2004-2007). During its four year tenure, Our Divided Fortune played many shows and multiple events, including Florida Music Festival. They were also a headlining band for the well-known Anti-Pop Music Festival its first couple of years. After the members of Our Divided Fortune went their separate ways, Adam focused again on his solo work.

Keiko (2007) allowed Adam to create more elaborate compositions, producing richer, ambient rhythms, and constructing lyrics rooted in personal experience. One of the tracks from this DIY compilation, “The Amber Light,” was showcased as an extended scored version for the indie film In Camera. During this time, Adam wrote and played guitar for She Can’t Breathe (2008), a band that eventually presented “When the Way is Forgotten” to Warner Brothers Records in Los Angeles. The urge to create original solo work was still present, however, so Adam went back to work on Keiko. He co-produced “Speechless in Sleepless Dreams” (2010), his romantic tragedy concept album, with Cameron Mizell of Chango Studios. This album was favorably reviewed by critics, and drew public interest in multiple countries. Mark Dodds of Brink Magazine called it a “must-be-heard-album” and claimed “Keiko’s prominent voice carries you on a journey of timeless love truths.”

Presently, Adam is hard at work on his self-titled project. His current compositions include the upcoming “A Beautiful Day For Bad Feelings,” “Oneironaut,” and “Mono No Aware.” This work has expanded on his interest in ambient music, including soundscapes and creative scoring. The music is organic and multi-instrumentalist, allowing for variance and displaying Adam’s dynamic ability to synthesize thought and feeling.

The 5-song debut EP "A Beautiful Day For Bad Feelings" showcase Adam Matthew Smith's

knack for song-writing. Contrasted with past music projects such as Keiko, it is a soft, melancholic,

piano and acoustic based sound. Stay tuned for his early 2016 debut release!

EP Song Titles:

1 Traveling Without Moving

2 A Beautiful Day For Bad Feelings

3 Within Your Walls

4 Ghosts Of Our Former

5 Yours That Was

Los Angeles based Hip Hop artist, Aaron Mazarati, presents his highly anticipated 3rd project, an EP titled Torn. The eight song project is A. Mazarati’s most polished and honest work to date. The EP is a personal ride as AM takes listeners through his world of relationships and their ridiculous stages.

Growing up in Hippyville USA- Portland, OR area, Aaron Mazarati developed a unique appreciation of art and the love it extrudes. As a youngin', he made constant weekend trips three hours North to see his mother in Seattle, WA, so one might say he's from both major cities in the Pacific Northwest.

His Music:

https://soundcloud.com/mazaratimusic/mazarati-you-were-wrong
"You Were Wrong"- This song right here is a salute to anyone that thought thinking outside of the white picket fence was a bad idea. I know there's a lot of us out here with this same battle and I wanted to let them know they aren't alone on that. F 'em, do you.

https://soundcloud.com/mazaratimusic/mazarati-la-la-land-radio-edit
"LA LA LAnd"- On the flight from PDX to LAX, on my official move to Los Angeles, I busted out my favorite Pilot G-2 pen and wrote this banger while heavily influenced by The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Going Back To Cali". Ever since that flight, the song has grown to be one of my more beloved joints yet.

https://soundcloud.com/mazaratimusic/mazarati-never-done-this
"Never Done This Before"- Growing up, on Mondays my boys and I used to catch up and exchange slay stories from the weekend. After a while it started to become a joke because it seemed every beautiful female we were with drop this same line or some variation of it.

Posted October 16th 2015

Name: “Bind Chamber”

Method: Adobe Illustrator

"This piece is part of a sub group of pieces I did back in 2014 to go along with my overall theme of a factory at work. This sub group is called “Lights Out”, meaning every piece in this group has a black background and white subjects. As you can see the creatures are conformed inside to the main subject, which is a Robot with 8 arms."-Joshua Jones

Joshua Jones is a Game artist and Graphic Designer; which his life is nothing but normal in some people’s eyes, but to him he wishes it could be better. Before his art he never really had much of an interest in it. In middle school he had a really picky art teacher; which made him fear art more than like it. So in high school he never really perused it that much. What did develop were his ideas for writing games. He was always a silent kid and stuck to himself most of the time, so his social life was not that great but he did have few friends he hung out with sometimes. As he graduated high school Joshua Jones decided he wanted to pursue a degree in game design or anything tailored to it.

Name: “Blinding Destruction”

Method: Adobe Illustrator

"Created as part of another sub group of pieces titled “Dr. Geo’s Plan”, this piece really speaks to the problems of global warming, as some of us may think it’s not a problem but in reality it is and there are grave consequences. The ovens symbolize how foolish we are to let things just slide go on without attention, thus causing such great and massive destruction to our home planet." -Joshua Jones

He decided to go to Full Sail since it had some of the programs Joshua was looking for, originally he pursued game development but after a certain point taking the program he got bored with it and decided to switch. Joshua Jones wanted to take Game design but with it only online, he gave art another shot. Throughout his journey at Full Sail in the game art program he has learned so much and even developed he skills at graphic design as well. Joshua Jones figured why not, he was never super talented at the art he was being taught and this lowered his self-esteem a bit, but when he started learning illustrator and doing more art with that instead of taking the traditional route, Joshua Jones was more surprised that he did better at it than what he was learning in class.

Name: “Get It In Gear”

Method: Adobe Illustrator

"Made on a white background with black subjects these cogs work hard to pump out gears into the factory, just look at their happy faces as they work to better society. The feeling in this piece really spoke to me on how tiring it is to work round the clock in a factory, this is probably one of my favorite pieces." Joshua jones

As Joshua went through the rest of his program he developed more and more skills at graphic design and now has two skills in both Game art and graphic design that he can be proud of. Now with graduation looming he wants people to know that following standards and following the rules is no longer the only way to live in this life. Sometimes you need to develop extra skills in case the first skill set doesn’t secure you a job. Joshua Jones hopes his art can inspire someone in the future because doing it gives him a sense of purpose and hopes it can inspire someone else’s sense of purpose too.
