I Was Always Going To Find Out: Efficacious Chicago singer Monica Rose knows that he wasn’t the one on ‘Peter Pan’ (feat. Multi-Band)

Posted on 4 July 2021

Returning with her first release of 2021 which follows her tremendously soulful four-track EP from last year called ‘Wax‘, Monica Rose brings her unique indie-bop bounce with the reflective story about knowing that they can’t be together for long on ‘Peter Pan‘ (feat. Multi-Band).

Monica Rose is a thoughtfully stylish Chicago, Illinois-based indie jazzy/pop singer-songwriter, rollerblader, subconscious mind student, future fashion icon, and skilled painter. She intrinsically fuses that healing melody that helps us deal with our day, as this is a caring musician who selflessly makes music to help others through her art.

”I’d consider myself a very reflective person with an enormous imagination. I’m constantly observing the world around me and conjuring ideas about how I’d like to communicate what occurs behind my eyes. A certain type of success, to me, is to perfectly communicate a thought or feeling.” – Monica Rose

Her tenacious attitude is quite inspiring as she is following her dreams the whole way, as she is joined by her talented band to add so many extra enticing layers to their genuine sound. Each second is so groovy, their underground style is so underrated and you feel like they are building up, brick by brick, to get to where they know they need to be.

‘Peter Pan‘ (feat. Multi-Band) from the wonderfully talented and deep thinker Monica Rose, shows us a supremely creative soul who has a special ability to galvanize your attention on her, as you sit back and intertwine glowingly at these deliciously wondrous vocals. This is the type of song to listen to when you need some reassurance that you made the right decision. Trusting your gut, is always the way to lean after all.

A&R Factory Present: Jonny Fresh

Posted on 5 May 2016

Jonny wrote his first rap when he and his boy Dstu to the J-E-W decided they should make a comedic song about their religion back in 11th grade. He didn’t prove to be a natural born rapper with his first attempt, but kept working at his craft for 9 years before releasing his first mixtape.

At the time he was enamored with a new type of healthy cuisine he had discovered that was helping him rejuvenate his body, so naturally that was what he wrote about. Raw Food Rap came out in early 2014, along with two music videos; All We Do (Is Make Raw Chocolate) and The Durian Song.

Whilst creating his inaugural mixtape, he was performing at Open Mic nights to hone his craft and improve his live act. He released Three more music videos later that year in anticipation of his second mixtape,Love, Unicorns & Missing Pants, which came out the following January.

Midway through 2015 Jonny realized that his passion had shifted completely from Raw Food to making music and so he set in place plans to sell his Raw Food business, lose his pants and move to an environment more conducive to creating a career in Hip Hop.

A few months later he found himself in Melbourne, the music capital of Australia and his current adopted home. Burn City welcomed him with open arms and he’s now spending the overwhelming majority of his waking hours pursuing his dream of being a professional rapper.
