Hailing from Vancouver, Genesis is of Swedish and Tamil heritage. She took piano lessons as a child and wrote her first song at the age of ten. She also showed a keen interest in art, and claims she was creating BDSM-themed paintings while she was still in kindergarten. While attending art school, she studied filmmaking, but began to chafe under the restrictions of the medium and was eager to try other things. Part of the film program included a course in audio recording and production, and her new skills encouraged her to renew her interest in music. She played with some local punk rock bands before taking a stab at hip-hop with a duo called Moan. Genesis started recording raps accompanied by minimalist but atmospheric production, initially recording in 2013 as part of a project called G3NESIS. In time, some of her work made its way to Father, the founder of the Atlanta-based indie rap label Awful Records. Father invited Genesis to record for Awful, and in July 2015, her debut album, World Vision, was released. Between her provocative lyrics (openly sexual while flirting with dark themes) and bold fashion sense (she favors short plaid skirts, cropped heavy metal T-shirts, and heavy boots), Genesis became one of the most talked-about new artists on the hip-hop underground, and earned mainstream exposure when Calvin Klein used her as a model in their 2016 advertising campaign. After releasing a pair of indie singles in 2016 ("Art" and "They Cum, They Go"), Genesis struck a deal with Downtown/Interscope Records; in June 2018, Genesis issued the single "100 Bad," which a few months later received a remix treatment from Charli XCX., and her eponymous full-length self-titled debut was released in November that year. Since then. Tommy released several singles including “peppermint” and “a woman is a god” that later led to the release her long-awaited album, GOLDILOCKS X in 2021. Tommy is currently in the studio working on new music for 2022. https://bronson.ltd/traviemccoy daily 0.75 2023-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccb3733ca525b61f6fc6571/4d139377-3d56-435a-9766-43d15ab37bcc/Stop+It+Travie.jpg Travie McCoy Travie McCoy has always been the unique one, the one ahead of his time, the one that didn’t fit into an existing box, and the one that always chose to forge his own. Growing up as a bi-racial kid in Geneva, NY, he grew up loving hardcore and punk rock, along with hip hop and R&B, and instead of choosing one lane, he created a genre-bending sound that changed what modern alternative and pop looked like. He formed Gym Class Heroes, a group that found a community in the alternative/punk space, but shot into the mainstream with hits like the 3x Platinum “Cupid’s Chokehold” and “Stereo Hearts.” But as a solo artist, he hit new heights, and jump-started the careers of a number of up and coming artists, with songs like the 4x Platinum, “Billionaire ft. Bruno Mars.” Through all of this, Travie started battling with addiction and depression, leading into a real moment of rock bottom that almost ended his career and life. After getting into recovery and working through his constant demons, he started feeling creative again, and decided that he was going to be true to himself and his craft. He wanted to write music that he 100% believed in - that he could pour out his heart and soul into - and that could be the cathartic vehicle of self-expression that he was missing. The result is Never Slept Better - the most honest, unpretentious, and devastatingly powerful album of his career. With an album title that references Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” Never Slept Better encapsulates the past 10 years of Travie’s life with brutal honesty. It is a journey telling the trials and tribulations of addiction, mental health crises, and navigating the shady characters and frustrations one finds in the music industry, to get to a place where he could finally be at peace. It wasn’t easy, but creating the album was extremely therapeutic. On “I’ll Never Be Loved feat. Hamzaa”, Travie recalled recording the song in a studio straight after he got out of rehab. “I literally cried through the entire tracking,” he shares, “I wrote nothing down and let raw emotions spill out, all the feelings that I wasn’t able to get out in rehab.” On another track, “A Spoonful of Cinnamon,” Travie extols, “This song honors people in my life that I had lost.” He writes about his battles with bi-polar disorder and drug addiction, and his heartbreak and devastation with the loss of loved ones, including his grandfather. “There was a moment where I was getting weekly phone calls to tell me people I knew had passed away. I’m bi-polar and being isolated was a strong reason to relapse, but I didn’t, and I made it through.” Never Slept Better could have been a dark, depressing tome, but with Travie McCoy, where there is darkness there is also joy and hopefulness. Tracks like “Stop It” and “Loved Me Back To Life” have the trademark Travie playfulness and soulful wit that fans have come to expect. But it is the catchy pop song, Full Monarch” that marries the two sides of the album, with a tongue-in-cheek song about escapism and a relationship gone bad, that stems from a poetic moment at a show in Chicago where an injured monarch butterfly emerged to uplift the spirits of a wounded soul. After years of navigating treacherous waters, Travie McCoy has put together the most honest, vulnerable, raw and emotional music of his career. And he’s never slept better.
