The State of the Music Industry 2023
The modern music industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, with the traditional power structures and gatekeepers of the industry being disrupted by the rise of technology and social media. Gone are the days where record labels had sole control over what music was played on the radio and what was considered a hit; now, it is the people themselves who dictate the music that is popular and successful.

"Mastering the Art of Reading Music: Understanding Treble and Bass Clefs"
Reading music is an essential skill for any musician, as it allows them to understand and perform written compositions. The process of reading music involves interpreting the symbols and memorandum set up on a distance of music in order to play the correct notes on an instrument. At its utmost introductory position, reading music involves understanding the layout of a distance of music, including the staff, clefs, and note values. The staff, which is the foundation of distance music, is made up of five vertical lines and four spaces, on which notes are placed.

Polymathic Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Releases New Single “Phonics” (feat. Sydney Palmer and Declan Sheehy-Moss)
From Amir Royale I don't think I've ever really felt well-understood by my peers or mentors. Most my life I was outcasted for my passionate and exuberant outlook. "Phonics" was a way for me to define what that felt like — but, furthermore — showcase to others how to combat it. I've had this song sitting in a vault since before the pandemic. Thus, I recruited some of my favorite people in this whole wide world to share the stage for one of my last few "harder" stories to tell. Or, well — at least I think so. Declan Sheehy-Moss (a good friend of the next J. Dilla and Robert Glasper - Cisco Swank); as well as Sydney Kate Palmer (an NYU student of mine) both bring this so beautifully to life — and, I don't know — I just hope you finally get it one day. Maybe, just maybe — I even pray I'll still be here on Earth to know finally what it feels like. That's if God decides I'm lucky enough. I love and miss you all, always. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺

1/3 - Breaking Down Taylor Swift's Discography and Its Impact
The impact of Taylor Swift’s music is certainly apparent to the general public. Her vastly dedicated fanbase, expansive career, genre-switching, and songwriting acclaim have made her one of the most successful musical artists of the 21st century. This is a deep dive into her different eras and the profound impact that her music has had on me, personally. Her debut album, Taylor Swift, introduced the world to the sixteen-year-old, beautiful, blond, songwriting genius that is Taylor Swift, with her debuting as a country act. Her first released single was titled Tim McGraw, which introduced her songwriting gift to music listeners everywhere. Her stark talent at such a young age was evident from the beginning. I was born in 2003, so I was only three years old when her first album was released, and I didn’t discover how much I genuinely connected with her music, until later on. With that being said, I consider myself to be a highly dedicated fan now and have done much research about her, her songwriting process, and I adored watching the Miss Americana documentary, as well as the Reputation Stadium Tour film, and the long pond studio sessions Disney+ special. I also write poetry myself, and all of her lyrics are just so eloquently poetic in a way that can truly invoke emotion.
