@AyrockMusic - "No More (HollyWood)" ft. Mike D'Angelo
Ay-Rock is a producer, songwriter and
engineer hailing from Austin, Texas and based out of Maryland. Growing
up in a military home, Ay-Rock Moved around a lot which may have helped
introduce him to many different styles of music even at a young age. At
the age of 9 he began writing as a form of escaping the troubles of
reality, expressing his passion and sharing his thoughts with the world.
They quickly transformed to the creation of song lyrics. He felt that
writing let him get out all his emotions and deal with the obstacles he
had to face. As the years passed he began developing his style and
creating his flow that can only be classified as versatile.
Eventually,
he started his own recording studio to further hone in on his craft of
music and music engineering. Ay-Rock became more interested in mixing
and mastering music from pre-production to final master He attended and
received a bachelor’s degree in Audio Production from the Art Institute
of Washington and began working for artists like B.O.B., Wale, Maino and
many others. In fact, he was the first engineer to mix Wale’s record,
“Bait.”
Ay-Rock

artist, creating many tracks in genres that range from rap, r&b,
pop, and rock. Everyone who hears his work always has the same remark;
“this is Ready To Go”.

take inspiration from anywhere “Anything can inspire me when it comes
to making music, from a simple note to having a conversation with
friends,” Ay-Rock said. As for his taste in music, “anyone or anything
with great sound, especially full bodies of work and things he can
listen to from beginning to end.” Ay-Rock also said
Ay-Rock
is unlike other artists out there today because he embodies so many
different styles of sounds. He may incorporate hard-hitting 808s in one
song and then luscious melodies in another, all joining together to
create one magical sound.

that can influence people and other musicians for decades to come.

TLNTD releases Fall ft. Kiyah Mitchell
Back with an upbeat tune for your listening pleasure, TLNTD presents Fall (Feat. Kiyah Mitchell); track 2 of the 3 track EP entitled "eXpectations" produced entirely by Epidemic. As
a part of #TLNTDTuesdays, the artist from DC presents a tune that will
quickly become an earworm for anyone who listens. The production by
Epidemic is an ethereal yet, energetic continuation into the thoughts of
TLNTD. The track dropped on June 7, 2016 and serves as a meditation on
the current state of events in the artist’s life. The song encompasses a
well-crafted and catchy chorus followed by minute long verse showcasing
TLNTD’s adept lyrical ability.
The
track discusses the often neglected aspects that are a part of the
journey to artistic fame. The chorus is sung by first time collaborator,
Kiyah Mitchell where he discusses his pride for how
far he has gone, getting high, and asking for help if he doesn’t make
it. In the verse, TLNTD delves deeper into tese topics, ultimately
understanding that the past cannot be changed and the importance of
focusing on the future. The beat is airy while moving back and forth
between an EDM inspired drum track to a half time 808 trap style beat.
#TLNTDTuesdays will continue, look out for a new track every Tuesday!
