Interview and Photos by: Hannah Vaccaro | October 1, 2023 Q: Hello! How have you been the past year or so? How has this year been for you? It’s honestly been pretty wild. Everything started ramping up around June or July when I decided I was going to make my EP. As I was starting to make my EP, on TikTok, Philip Labes posted a video saying “Hey! I am searching for openers for my tour. Here are the cities. Comment if you are in one of those cities.” And there was a lot of feedback because he posted it on Instagram and TikTok. I didn’t hear anything for a couple of weeks. But then, he popped up in my messages and said “Hey, I really love your work and your music and I think I would love to have you as one of my two openers.” Originally, it was supposed to be two for the Portland, OR show. About a week later, he confirmed and it was just me opening! After that, I was like, “Well, it has to be an acoustic set,” and I don’t really trust myself to play and sing at the same time in front of people on stage. I needed some musicians. I reached out to people I knew. They weren’t available, so they put me in contact with Trev Fischer, who ended up being my guitarist and cellist. He works at a music school and he was able to find the pianist, Kelly Miller. We finalized that within a week and had two weeks of rehearsals. The 2 weeks consisted of six 2-3 hour rehearsals for a seven song set. Q: So, was this performance just on the west coast? Yeah, so Philip had the tour itself, but I was just an opener for one of the cities. So, after that, this was when everything for my original music started ramping up within a couple of months. It’s been a little strange and funky, in a good way! My musicians and I had talked about putting together an acoustic album with all the songs because a lot of my family and friends that were not in Oregon or California couldn’t make it. I thought, “wouldn’t it be cool for them to have all the songs that they can listen to?” It was the first time my music has ever been put on sheet music. It was a really big deal for me. Two days after the show ended, we recorded everything at Trev’s house. Jason Pluemkedid the audio engineering and helped record it. Then we created little music videos. It was super fun! Q: Give us a summary of who you are, what you do, and where you are at in life right now. My name is Kenzie Elizabeth. I am 22. I am a musician, an actor, and a dancer. I go to grad school at NYU, getting my masters in Musical Theatre. Yes, I have a passion for musical theatre, and I have a passion for everything performing arts, but songwriting is a distinct part of my life because it allows me to process things and decompartmentalize things that I may not be able to if I didn’t have it. Q: How did you get started in music? Where did your passion stem from? In terms of writing music, I started writing music when I was 12 years old. Before I really started really acting in shows, my mom was a choreographer and director at a small community theatre in Loomis, CA. I was there all the time. I would be there and sit in the practice rooms and just play on the piano. Eventually, I created my first song! That’s when I discovered, “Oh, this is kind of cool!” I have always been a huge music person. I used to fall asleep to music. Like, I would have my iPod touch hooked up to a speaker charger and my parents would be like, “Turn the music down!” because I had it turned all the way up to fall asleep. I remember Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive was the song I used to fall asleep to, and I had it on repeat for, like, a solid year when I was 10 or 11. Because I was listening to music all the time, like it was how I focused, I always had a song playing in my head, whether it’s a beat, or a song already made or not made. The way I memorized things, like for testing in high school. For chemistry, for example, I would put it into a song so I can memorize it. That has sort of changed a little bit just because I have been doing a lot more memorization with acting in general, and Tv film, and plays. But, there is still a rhythm to things. When we speak, there’s a rhythm, a melodic element to it. There are consistently pulses and rhythms in my head. Q: Who or what are your biggest inspirations when you are writing new songs? A big point in time, Sara Barellis. I love Renee Rapp so much. Lizzy McAlpine. It’s nice because all three of them are theater people. It’s so funny because when I started gravitating towards their music – like, Sara Barellis I have always known as a theater person. Let’s go with Lizzy McAlpine. I had no idea she was a theater person, but I started gravitating toward her music because it has a storytelling aspect to it, and it is filled with so much dynamic quality. Once I found out she was a theater person, it made sense. So, theater is a big influence for me. Even with my own music, it’s alternative pop with a hint of musical theater is how I describe it. Even with the stuff that is more pop, like with my new EP…it still has a storytelling aspect to it, still has the harmonies to it. I think finding artists that deal with a lot of musicality in their materials is what I gravitate towards. Q: Tell us a little bit about your newest album: The Other Side (Acoustic). What was the process like preparing for and producing this album? The process for preparing was super last minute. They are all songs – besides “Breakthrough”, I wrote that song, I wanna say, a week and a half before we performed it – I had written between the years 2020 and 8-9 months prior. There was a good amount of time between when I wrote them and when I performed them. When I sent Trev and Kelly the set list, it was like “Song-Song-Song-Unreleased Song..” I didn’t know what it was, but I wanted to perform an unreleased song to give people an incentive to come. I ended up writing “Breakthrough.” I didn’t have a plan on the material or the concept. The line “I’m working, trying to fill every minute / Hoping that it will all work out in the end,” – that one line popped into my head one day while I was nannying. I was like, okay, I can work with this. I ended up writing the song that night, just the lyrics and the chords, and then I recorded a rough demo with the instruments within the next couple of days. Within three days I went from start to finish and I brought it to Trev and was like, “Hey, what can you do with this? Can you put it on sheet music?” And he was like “Yeah! Awesome!” A lot of it was improvised by him just using the chords because – yes, there were specific instruments I put in the song and I go from different time signatures and tempos – but, with just the piano and cello, we really had to figure out what we wanted. The original version was very acoustic based and had a lot of violins. It was a two week long rehearsal process. We met for about six rehearsals, for about 2-3 hours each. And then we performed it! The recording process was just one day. We started in the morning and did about three takes for each song. I didn’t want to splice anything, I wanted to do the whole take, so it was all live. The instruments were all played at the same time. So the videos that you saw in the living room, that's what it looked like recording it and that’s what you hear as the sound. The backyard scenes, we quickly chose the best takes of everything that way we had it on the speaker for when we were singing it outside. I actually sang along with the track because I didn’t want to miss anything since the breaths – you can tell. It was all one day, about seven hours of filming. Q: Do you have a favorite song off your newest album that resonates with you the most or that you enjoyed creating the most? Honestly, it’s so hard! All the songs are so good. “Interstate 80” is fun as heck! But the one I resonate with the most is probably “Breakthrough.” Just because I wrote it for a dear friend of mine who is really, really struggling living paycheck to paycheck and it’s causing a lot of hardships for them. They literally work 7 days a week, 11-12 hours a day. The line “I work 13 hour days” was from when I was working 13 hour nanny shifts. I wanted to mix it with my own truth as well. So, [my friend] has no days off, and when they do have a day off, they feel guilty about it because they think they could be making money. It’s that part of like “it’s never enough.” I feel like a lot of people can relate to that, especially living in the city, it’s hard. With my personal experience, “Breakthrough” really resonates with me because I was working 5-6 days a week, but I wasn’t burnt out because I really loved my [nanny] families, they were like a second family to me. But, it was almost like it was never enough. Q: What are some of your goals moving forward for the rest of this year and maybe for 2024? Specifically regarding my original music, I really want to do another opening gig, or work with or collaborate with, or do something with Renee Rapp and Lizzy McAlpine. It’s so far out there, but like I just met Natalie Weiss last night! Nothing is too – P!nk reposted me! – nothing is too far-fetched at this point. They are my two biggest inspirations. Sara Barellis, yes, she’s incredible – I’m already going to work with her. It’s a given. She’s a theatre person, like we are gonna do it. Q: With so many random things that have happened to you so far, nothing is far-fetched! Well, with the power of social media. I knew the internet was a powerful tool and can be used for good and bad, unfortunately. In regards to the art, I mean, take the “Fiyero” video for example. I know that wasn’t original music, but it quite literally changed my life. So, in terms of original music, it got me the gig for Philip Labes, P!nk saw me and knows who I am. It’s a powerful tool. I have also met very wonderful songwriters and musicians on the app – both TikTok and Instagram. I got to work with them and meet them in the city or over Zoom. Q: What is one thing you hope your listeners or fans take away from your music? I want them to find some sort of connection to it. I want them to feel something. I want it to be cathartic for them. There is not much more to be said about that. I don’t really write for other people, I write for myself. I write to process things, but once I put it out, I want other folks to feel like it helps them process whatever is going on in their minds. Even if they take it the completely wrong way than what I intended to write it for, I just want them to feel something. Like, if they feel nothing, then I have failed. Q: Lastly, what would you tell your younger self now that you are where you are at in your career? Did you ever imagine you would be where you are now? I did not imagine I would be here, absolutely not! But, what I would tell her is that it is worth it. I was in a really really low place. It sucks because kids should not feel low. But, when I was 12 – around the time I started to write music – I was in the darkest place I could ever be. I think I would tell little Kenzie that what she is going through sucks, but it will be worth it in the end. You’re allowed to not be happy, and feel things. You’re allowed to breathe. But, your passions are valid and it’s worth it! I would also tell her I’m proud of her! Q: I wanted to give you this time to tell people where they can find you, and any promotional thing! As of October 1st, Kenzie Elizabeth will be over everything. My KZ Liz stuff will still be there. My new EP is called “Reminded.” The album is about processing and finding a new mindset. It’s coming out October 1st. It’s an album that has an intro song – it’s the real deal! There is a theme to everything. It’s car ride worthy!

Interview and Photos by: Orchee Sorker | October 3, 2023 | Nashville, TN HAZZE MEDIA chatted with Dean Lewis at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. Dean shares his tour experience, the process behind his latest single “Trust Me Mate”, his daily philosophy he lives by, and his plans after tour. How are you doing? How has tour been? I'm great. Tour's been amazing. Today's been a bit brutal because there's so many things we're doing before the show. It's been just the best tour ever. A year and half ago, we did a tour in America after COVID and everything was really low. The tickets were low and I was like, “Oh my God, is it all over?” Now, “How Do I Say Goodbye?” blew up again. To be able to come back and to play to like a thousand people every night has been just the best. It's been amazing. Since it’s been about two weeks of tour, what has been the most meaningful fan interaction you’ve had? So many people have been coming up after the shows and telling me about how “How Do I Say Goodbye?” has impacted them. Someone asked me for a tattoo of my new song “Trust Me Mate” last night, which was very cool because the song just came out. A kid came up to me last night and said that his dad died two years ago and he was like 15. He said this song had changed his life and was so appreciative. It was a very special moment. Why is it called The Future Is Bright Global Tour? It’s something I say to my fans all the time. I just always think that if you keep moving forward, things get better. It's a philosophy that I have. Even if sometimes life sucks, it's just something I say to my fans. Your latest single “Trust Me Mate” came out about a week ago. Honestly thankful for this timing and it has helped me. I have seen some of your reels and posts about the meaning behind it but wanted to hear about how that song came to be? After “How Do I Say Goodbye?” and looking back at everything, I only really want to write songs that really mean something to me. Something that I've dealt with in my life. These periods in my life where I've been on top, and then on periods when I feel like everything's over…attaching my worth to success and failure. I've had such highs and lows in my career and life that I wrote this song about having friends that can pull you up when you're feeling low, remind you who you are, even remind myself who I am. It's also a little bit about other friends that I've helped up, and people who have been battling addiction. It was just a big combination of all those things. I saw that you co-produced it with Jon Hume. Did you write it here in Nashville? We wrote it in Los Angeles. We wrote “How Do I Say Goodbye?” in Nashville a few years ago. Do you think this song is different from anything else you’ve written before? For me, I want to own the box. People will tell artists to go write something completely different, but I want to create a signature sound that sounds like me. So, I've gone more into that. I haven't written a song about this particular subject before. I also watched the music video. It was beautifully done and I felt like all the emotions were captured. What was the process behind the video? Did you come up with a storyline or did the director take the lead in that? Was the fire in the beginning CGI? Was the firetruck shot real? Basically this is what happened…they couldn't find any music video directors for me. They said we're going to have to film the music video in like a month, and I said there's no way I'm going to have anyone. I called David Kushner because I loved his video. I said, “Do you know anyone who can film a video next week?” He gave me the number of the Altar8 Studios who did his video. I called Landon from Altar8 on the phone and I said, “Can you do a music video next week?” Then, I sent the song, and they sent back the concept. It blew my mind because they're so incredible and came up with something meaningful. We planned it over the weekend and we filmed it the next day. Yeah, it was CGI. The firetruck was real. That was me running. That was very dangerous actually. What is one life motto/advice you live by? I'm trying to work on detaching effort from result. You can put all the effort in and you succeed or you fail. Or you put no effort in and you don't care. I'm trying to put all the effort in, suppose writing a song, but then letting go of how it does. I have this fundamental belief in my life that great art finds a way. Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the biggest song in the world, but it might be. It might be big in Denmark. But if you make something great, whatever that is, it will find its own little path. So that's my philosophy. People usually ask, “Who inspires you?” but wanted to flip the question and ask “Who do you hope to inspire?” To be honest, I write songs very selfishly. I just write them for myself. I don't write them for anyone. The moment you write a song for someone else, you can hear the fakeness in it. I just hope that people like it. I hope I'm inspiring other singer songwriters. I had a guy last night come up to me and ask me how to write songs. He was writing songs, but was asking “what do I do next?” I gave him some advice. Hopefully, I'm inspiring some people…some young male singer songwriters and helping them. What’s next? What can fans expect after the tour? Do you have any upcoming music or projects? I've got the album's going to come early next year. I've got so many songs, I'm not going to stop releasing them. I'm so excited right now, I just want to keep rolling! Thank you so much for your time! Hope the show goes great tonight and you have a phenomenal time in Nashville! Thank you!

Interview and Photos by: Orchee Sorker | March 31, 2023 | Nashville, TN Jenna Raine chats with Hazze Media before her Nashville set which was the first date opening for Joshua Bassett’s Complicated Tour 2023. She shares her story on how she began music, the process behind her latest single “Stupid Cupid," an insight on her upcoming EP “Big Dumb Heart, Chapter One” coming out in May, and her hopes for fans listening to her music. How would you introduce yourself in one sentence? I'm Jenna. I'm 19 and I'm a singer songwriter who wants to spread light in a dark world. How did you get started in music? I got started in music because I grew up going to church. Worship music was always on in the car, and that's kind of how I fell in love with music. In third grade, the thing that really got me going was I asked my mom and if I could join the talent show. She asked me what my talent was. That's kind of the night of the talent show, when my parents realized that I had potential. I begged for vocal lessons. Your latest release is “Stupid Cupid." What was the creative process when writing that song? I remember I was in the room with Casey Smith and Andrew J. Roberts. We had never written before. Casey was like, "I can tell that you write a lot of music, not from your own perspective and from your own relationships. We should write about you." That was a big change of pace because I never write from my perspective. She was like, "Let's think hypothetically. You and your boyfriend break up because of long distance. How terrible would that be?” Because we've now been dating for three years and I was like, “Okay, this sounds terrible. Sure. Let's do it." So, we wrote a song based off of a hypothetical. I remember we were just kind of trying to brainstorm on how to write the song, and I was looking through my notes and for a really long time I had the title “Stupid Cupid." I wrote it down and didn't say anything. I was very quiet. We had like a shared note, and she was like scrolling through the notes of all the things. She was like, “Where did Stupid Cupid come from?” Then she was like, “Why didn't you say that out loud?” I hadn't really been that used to co-writing. It was one of my first sessions getting back into the groove of it. That was fun. How does your boyfriend feel about you writing it? Gosh, we've talked about it briefly. He didn't understand that it was about a hypothetical. I never really told him. That was back when I didn't really know how to have the discussion of what the song's about. I told him a couple months ago. I was like, “Well, it's actually about the pains of distance, and if we weren't standing up together.” He was like, “Oh, I don't like that.” That's not what he had pictured in his head. It's kind of funny. I saw the video and loved it! So did you kind of have the vision or did you kind of let a director take the lead? For the video, I worked with the director. For my whole entire solo career, he is one of my favorite people to work with. I had kind of had a direction for a lot of the videos we had worked on thus far. When “Stupid Cupid” was brought up, I didn't think it was going to be the single of the EP that's coming out, so I kind of leaned on his creative direction. He was like, “We've done a lot of plot music videos where there's a storyline. Why don't we just do something that's very creative? It tells a story in just a bunch of different looks and just has fun making videos.” It sounded fun. That's basically what we did. He found a really cool place that had a bunch of different rooms and different vibes. That was more so following his lead, which I wasn't totally used to, which was really cool to have his creative input on the song. Tell me more about your upcoming “Big Dumb Heart, Chapter One” EP. This EP is meant to tell the story that I never really got to tell. Back when I was 16/17 in high school, I never really released a big body of work. During that time period, I had a lot of songs that I had written, “Stupid Cupid” was already 1.5 years old. A lot of people wouldn’t know that, but it's kind of a struggle I went through during high school that I’m talking about in the EP. It's really nice to be able to tell that story because I didn't love how all those songs were just sitting there and never gonna be heard. There's a lot of other people going through that specific season where it's gonna help them and gonna really resonate. I might not be able to relate to it right now at this very moment. I was able to a couple years ago, so it's very dear to my heart. Since it's kind of like a reflection, are you able to see the growth between the years? Yeah. Chapter one is the first chapter of basically growing into adulthood. I wanted to tell my full story in a really deep way of what I went through and what I don't share even to my family and family cause I'm very quiet about it. Do you have any focus singles on there? One of them is “Stupid Cupid” and I have another one coming out before the EP comes out. That's probably the most I can say and keep people guessing what the song is gonna be … but yes there is another focus track. What is one thing you hope your listeners or fans take away from your music? Oh, that's such a deep question. There's so much I wanna say, but I hope that they take away a little piece of hope at the end of the tunnel. It's gonna be okay. I hope that through my whole story, chapter one and what other chapters may come along, I hope that it just shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel. You will get hurt and you'll have to heal. Life is just such a beautiful thing. It's amazing that we get to feel these feelings, which is why I want to share every single song because it's so dear to me that everybody really embraces their own feelings. I hope that these songs make people feel less alone in general and just provide a safe space for people. Last question. How excited are you today and for the future shows you're performing at for Joshua Bassett’s Complicated Tour? How did you kind of get this opportunity? I am very excited for the show tonight. I haven't performed on a tour in over three years. It's been a really long time. The last time, I actually turned 16 on a tour. That was the last tour I got to perform at. It's just very special to me that Joshua even gave me this opportunity. I know that we posted jokingly on FaceTime, that's fake … but that's literally how our conversation went down when he asked me to go on tour. We were at a Grammy's event for META. We were talking about God and just random things. Not even talking about music. He randomly said, “Hey, what are you doing March through May?” I was like, “What do you mean? That's a long period of time. I don't know … writing music.” He was like, “Well, I would love it if you'd join me and Lindsey on tour.” We were with all of our teams and everybody's jaws just dropped. It was crazy. It's a really fun story to tell because it was really spontaneous. He told me today, “I just realized like I had never even really seen you perform, but you know, here we are.” That was awesome. It was a really fun way to be asked to go on tour. That's such a cool story. Thanks for giving me your time to chat with me! Of course! Thank you! I hope y'all enjoy the show.

Overcoats and Their Journey From Their First Hit Album, "YOUNG," To Their Headlining Tour This Spring! Interview by: Camila Camacho Blending their distinct sounds to produce a plethora of acclaimed music, this dynamic duo has released another remarkable album, “Winner.” From pop, country, and electronic influences, to their upcoming tour this spring, the members of Overcoats, Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell, have been consistently delivering versatile and exceptional works and projects since their first debut album, "YOUNG." After having to largely cancel most of their shows from their previous attempted headline tour due to the pandemic, Overcoats are now excited to debut their first headline tour showcasing some of their new album, “Winner," along with many other preloved fan favorites! Mitchell shares that this is, “Basically the most exciting thing to happen to us in five years.” Despite the previous struggles regarding their tour, any nerves they may have are entirely “overshadowed by excitement.” They have gone beyond traditional performance styles and are eager to share their newfound aesthetic and expressions through this album and tour. “I think we’re always kind of into stage design and fashion really, but the vibe of it will be different on this tour. Last time it was very rock and roll and kind of grungy, and this time it’s going to be more flowy white dresses and road trip aesthetics. We were really inspired by Thelma and Louise when kind of putting together the visual story on the album. So, we’re just going to have fun with the design elements, I think," shares Elion. Visuals are not the only evolving factor in the artists’ new projects. “Winner” is also unique in that Elion and Mitchell experienced a different writing process due to deliberate efforts for this album to be more collaborative, as well as changes simply from the state of the world. According to Mitchell, these works provided an outlet to release the intense emotions that accumulated during the pandemic. “Our first album, we basically didn’t let anyone else touch it other than the two people who were sort of recording it and kind of putting the songs together with us. And this time around, I feel like we opened the doors to other songwriters, other producers, and it was very fruitful at times…I think this process was particularly cathartic for us, the writing of this record, because we were coming out of a pandemic. As I had said, we ended up having to cancel our headline tour that was scheduled for 2020. We left our last label in 2021, so the process of writing these songs and, you know, creating the sonic backdrops for them was a particularly special time, kind of finding inspiration despite feeling a little bit dejected and rejected. And so, I think it was really important for us to sit down and process a lot of those feelings together and then create something beautiful out of that.” Mitchell and Elion reflected on how their newfound experiences have taught them values they would love to share with their past selves, writing their earliest album, "YOUNG". Elion encourages her past self and others entering the industry to always preserve their artistic identity and passions, despite what others say. “Do not listen to other people about what your art should be … I think if you’re not being genuine to yourself then you’re kind of missing the point. And I think there is a lot of pressure to conform and change what you’re doing based on what is marketable or what is going to do well in an industry that is already so hard to find success in. You shoot yourself in the foot if you’re not true to yourself, because that is how you’re going to make the most unique and personal work that you can.” Regardless of the dark times that came before the writing process, the album is full of plenty of lighthearted, spirited, and playful tracks. Mitchell is most excited about sharing “Want You Back.” The song’s brilliant imagery places the audience in New York where the artists lived and originally crafted the ideas for the tracks. Its straightforward nature does not “beat around the bush," according to Mitchell, which makes it “fun to sing and perform.” Despite having trouble just picking one favorite off of the album, Elion is eager to share the song “Winner.” “It feels very special to sing that one live. The end of that song kind of erupts into a louder, more joyful section, and I think you could really feel it in the audience when we enter that final part of the song, so I’m excited to do that on a larger scale.” To hear both “Want You Back”, as well as the song and album “Winner”, go to Spotify or Apple Music!
