Published

on

Good Energy from Seattle, WA and Ace from Boston team up to collaborate on this smooth song for the men and women titled “Show Me”. With nice lyrics, meaning and energy. Great hook melody and rap lyrics.

The Seattle music scene is continuing to make itself known one step at a time. With so many artists out there, the diversity of sound is all around so chances are, a casual listener will be able to find an artist who caters to their mood at any given time. One of these artists is Good Energy who is adding to his catalog by finishing up his latest project “Room Keys and Choosing Fees.”

Originally from Seattle where he is currently based out of, Good Energy has spent time all over the country as he grew up partially in California, San Antonio, and South Carolina, each place imprinting the customs of their perspective regions which you can hear when you listen to his music. It’s because of this that you can’t really put him in any sort of box or specific genre as he’s always working on something new to catch the listeners attention. He began recording his own music using Garage Band in 2010, right around the time he began performing and recording with other artists including HP The GameGod, D Man, Dundee and Pyro. He recorded his first project in Portland, Oregon with artist B Maja and Tyus who he met when they were younger.

Always knowing he was destined to be an entertainer in some way, he recorded the song “Danimals” which was met with a positive reception by those who heard it. From there he was encouraged to pursue music by those who were around him. When listening to his music the listener can expect an array of songs ranging from Rap and R&B to Hyphy and Adult Contemporary, through his art its easy to see that his albums have something for everyone to vibe to. Living up to the motto and stage name “Good Energy” sound is influenced by 90’s hip hop, reality rap and pimp music, basically anything that has a smooth sound with something to say.

Growing up he was influenced by artists like the legendary Mac Dre, E40, Messy Marv,
Master P, Snoop Dogg, The Jacka, Jadakiss as well as others. Also on the list, artists like Donell Jones and Erykah Badu as well as the influence of Gospel music.

Earlier this year, Good Energy released an album titled “Energizer & Eros Guide” as well as some singles and videos from his “Room Keys and Choosing Fees” project. Currently he has been doing shows with Jewels Simo’s at her modeling events as well as performing at the “Respect” show back in July as well as preparing to open for Gwopp and Mozzy in Yakima and then again in Seattle on August 30th. Beyond that, he has upcoming shows in Las Vegas before returning to Washington and performing in Tacoma in October of this year.

Looking to reach a wider audience he has been working on some videos with Hunnid K Servo who is the person that has been recording the new music that he and T Gamer have been putting out. Through it all he holds onto the mantra of Good Energy as he feels this is the time where he is truly coming into his own by defining his personality which allows him to show his true character on stage. In a world where music seems to be a commodity, his authenticity just might be the thing that sets him apart from the crowd.

Behind the Music: Creating KOKOmotion

Published

on

The world of music is a melting pot of cultures, sounds, and stories. In this exclusive interview with Shah Cypha on “On The Grynd Live,” we get an inside look at KOKO, an artist whose journey from Finland to New York City exemplifies the grind and passion that drive the music industry. KOKO’s story is one of diversity, self-empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams.
A Blend of Cultures: KOKO’s International Soundscape

KOKO’s music is a testament to her international background. Hailing from Finland and spending part of her life in Brussels, Belgium, she brings a blend of Northern European sophistication and Middle European jazz and funk to her music. It’s this eclectic mix that sets her apart, making her sound a breath of fresh air in the New York scene.

KOKO mentions her fondness for the jazz and funk she experienced in Brussels, stating, “I definitely have like funk elements in my music, especially from the time when we lived in Brussels, because we went to see like a lot of jazz, for example, at all times.” This richness in artistry isn’t just serendipitous; it’s intentional and a core part of who she is as an artist.

The New York City Metamorphosis

Moving to the epicenter of varied artistic expression, New York City, KOKO continued to evolve her craft. It’s here that she found the latitude to further her studies in sound engineering and delve deeper into the music world. Attending SAE Institute of Technology was a decision that would shape her future, immersing her in a community that lives and breathes sound.

Yet, it isn’t just about the music for KOKO. It’s about being “in motion,” as she refers to her debut LP, aptly titled “Coco Motion.” This project encapsulates her experiences and growth during her time in the States. Each song represents a timestamp, chronicling her evolution from an international student to a New York artist. “It’s like a timeline, almost like how my journey has been here,” she reflects.

The Beacon of Self-love and Empowerment

Amid the beats and melodies, there’s an underlying narrative in KOKO’s music: the importance of self-love and empowerment. These are not just themes but the lifeblood of her creative expression. KOKO is on a mission to inspire, guide, and remind listeners of their inherent worth and capacity for love.

She doesn’t shy away from her advocacy for mental health, recognizing its significance in today’s society. For KOKO, music is a medium for healing and spiritual growth. “My sound is conscious pop,” she says, signaling the reflective quality of her songs and their purpose to resonate on a deeper level with her audience.

As we recap the indelible impression KOKO has made in her interview with Shah Cypha, it’s clear that her trajectory is not simply one of personal ambition but also of universal resonance. Her music, imbued with both her Finnish and Brussels-influenced roots, has found a nurturing home in New York City, blossoming into a soundtrack of self-development and positive vibrations. With a firm stance on female empowerment and mental health, KOKO’s presence in the industry goes beyond entertainment; it’s a catalyst for transformation and healing. Her upcoming LP, “KOKOmotion,” is set to ripple through the collective consciousness, reminding us all to stay in perpetual movement toward our highest selves.
