DAN SADIN RELEASES SELF-TITLED DEBUT EP
Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Dan Sadin is excited to announce the release of his debut solo self-titled EP. Best known for being the guitarist in electropop band FRENSHIP, his debut solo EP is raw, honest and filled with tender, heart-swelling lyrics.
In addition to working with FRENSHIP regularly, he has co-written and played on tracks with artists including Sabrina Claudio, Jessie Ware, Frenship, MØ and more. As a guitarist, producer and songwriter, Sadin felt it was important to explore his vulnerability and dug deep into his rock roots for this project, having grown up listening to artists like Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen. His songs are an honest exploration of where the music we currently listen to comes from and an original take on where it can go. In fact, Sadin does what very few artists are willing to do: disregard current music trends in an effort to stay true to his roots and openly connect with his most important musical inspirations.
Hala Shares Music Video For “Sorry” via POND Magazine
Ian Ruhala is a 21-year-old singer/songwriter from Detroit, Michigan. He started his project, Hala, in 2014, as a junior in high school. Back then, he was intrigued by the idea of recording at home, because the task itself seemed like a stand-alone artform. In 2016, he put out his first, full-length album Spoonfed. He recorded the whole album in an attic in Detroit, which he was living in at the time. Outside of the tiny window in his “room,” he could see the Motown Museum from his side of the street. “That was always an influencing view, and I think it inspired me to try to recreate something Motown-esque in my vocal recordings.”
