Artist Alert: Scott Swain with new single Its Too Late

Drawing on influences from Americana, Country, and Alt Indie, Scott Swain is a UK based singer-songwriter.

He has been performing as a solo artist since August 2016, where Scott first appeared at Standon Calling festival.

Although he has been likened to Nick Cave, and even The National, his main source of influence is cinema.

Each of his songs are written about particular films which have left their mark on him. In June 2017 he began writing and recording his debut EP, which was finally completed in January 2018 thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

When listening to his music, a glass of good bourbon is optional.

Speaking to Scott on his inspirations for It’s Too Late, he says:

“It’s too late is mainly inspired by the French film Irreversible – a hard to watch film about taking the wrong actions following a deeply traumatic event. The overall vibe of the music is inspired by one of my favourite bands, The Smashing Pumpkins”.

Scott is currently on tour and you should definitely try and see him at one of the dates below:

Artist Alert: Ron Oneal

Rap Renegade Ron Oneal aka Black Bottle Boy represents the L.E.S (Lower East Side of Manhattan, NYC). He’s one of L.E.S’ “Made Men.” Confident and with a dope flow, Ron Oneal does everything in a colossal way. During All Star Weekend 2015 he amazed Maybach Music general Rick Ross with a relentless freestyle. The video clip went viral and that added to Ron Oneal’s street legend status. The freestyle video sent the Internet into a frenzy. It received over 2 million views with over 1 million views on WorldstarHipHop.com alone.

Ron Oneal is building a worldwide movement with his long time rap partner Sv Skee (L.E.S BBB). SV Skee is Ron’s elementary school friend, brother from another and right hand man who grew up with him making all of the music together. Ron Oneal’s style is a blend of reality rap and braggadocios lyricism. He kicks sharp rhymes over bass-heavy tracks while sharply telling realistic stories about his life and his peers. His sound hearkens back to the days of hard body beats and grimy rhymes delivered with authenticity. There is an undercurrent of realness in his voice. “Everything I’ve seen, done, felt, heard, been through, and witnessed I put in my music,” proclaims the rapper.

Equally important, every time Ron Oneal steps into the booth his goal is to create timeless music that resonates with the masses. Ron Oneal dropped the “If Not Me Who” mixtape which was hosted by Power 105.1FM’s DJ Self. The mixtape received kudos and acclaim from many DJ’s and fans alike. His second mixtape “Son Of Rome” Hosted By Hot97’s DJ Magic is still buzzing and receiving great reviews from bloggers, tastemakers & fans. Ron Oneal is riding high on the release of his latest Single entitled “Pull Up In Da Wraith” feat Sv Skee. The single is impacting mixshows around the country.

The dynamic rhyme slinger has music running through his veins. Moreover, the emcee is backed by TroubleMaka Kato TMNYC. Ron Oneal is a rapper, a boss, and a business man. His hardcore lyrics, powerful stories and masterful delivery make him one of the most sought after emcees around. This magnetic rapper exudes confidence and has the skills to back it up. At times brilliant and at times daring, Ron Oneal is thoroughly engaging. Respect the grind and join the movement.

New Feature: Artist Alert!

Hello beautiful people,

I’ve decided to include a feature on the music category of my blog where I write about underrated, underground or emerging artists that everyone should know about.

I want to share with you the hidden treasures of the music scene and help them to broadcast their audience and fanbase.

Although I’m not a marketing and PR guru promising success as a result of my blog post, I feel as though it’s important to remind those who are chasing their dream in music, that there are people out there that appreciate their sound and are supporting their movement. The music industry can be tough and feel lonely and times, those who continue to do what they love despite it being a difficult a road, deserve all the love they can get.

If you’re an emerging artist who would like to be featured in this segment*, feel free to email me on contact@savannahjodie.com.

*Please note, this is only a weekly feature and I am able to review music of emerging artists upon request.
