Haven’t we all been there? Can’t quit them, but definitely can’t stay with them either. My new single Evergreen tells the story of a relationship that had no choice but to come to an end. The sound is a mix of hip-hop and rnb, as well as a little of what I’d like to think is some soul. Listen to Evergreen, now available on SoundCloud and YouTube. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Evergreen
“Side effects takin’ over my brain and my mind…” Side Effects is a song that has literally been years in the making. Now that it has finally arrived, I hope that you will listen to it with open ears and an open mind. Maybe you can relate, maybe you can’t, but either way just know that it was written and recorded crying out from the depths of my soul. Shout out to all of the psych ward survivors and mental health warriors who feel me on this one. This one is dedicated to you. Check out my latest track Side … Continue reading Side Effects (Produced by PREMISE)
The amount of courage that it takes to be able to even get to the moment where you are standing in front of a microphone in the recording studio can feel insurmountable. At least it did for me. I will never forget recording this song. I really wanted for the engineer to care about what we were creating. This was not only going to be my first single but the song touches on the very sensitive topic of when my friends and former classmates died in an avalanche on a school trip. Obviously it was a large task to ask … Continue reading Exhibit A Released 5 Years Ago Today
We all know that relationship, you know, the one you get into because it fulfils some sort of fantasy? Well, maybe I just described every relationship to a certain extent, but you catch my drift. Years ago I was involved very briefly with someone with a striking resemblance to a celebrity crush. And, as you do, I wrote and recorded a song about the “situationship”. The relationship plays out in the lyrics of Uncanny from start to finish with an important message at the end of the track. Shoutout to Masta Ace and Jean Grae for always capturing my attention … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Uncanny
Next To Me is close to my heart. The track is the last song off my latest EP Verbal Jurisdiction: Part 1 and is the one song I really needed to see come to life. Hit the play button to see why. All lyrics and vocals are by Arielle London and the beautiful production is by Anywaywell. The timing is just my way of giving a little holiday gift to you. I hope that you are having an amazing holiday season, whether you are with loved ones or not. And if you are not, just know that you are still … Continue reading NEW MUSIC VIDEO: Next To Me
Years ago I recognized the need to create a brand for my artistry. Everyone in the industry has one, and so it felt as though the smartest thing to do was to pick a brand that would have the greatest longevity for my personality. I factored in things like happiness, my interests, and the sustainability of a persona. In the end, I couldn’t find anything except authenticity. I committed to speaking my truth as I knew to be at any given time. I committed to being myself. I committed to making music and art that was in my heart and … Continue reading DAY 17: Chess Moves
Sunday mornings are for drinking tea, listening to music and sitting in bed until it is no longer in fashion to do so. Which means technically you can sit in bed all day. But, since there are things to get done and there is definitely food to be eaten, I will eventually be emerging from the comfort of my sheets and comfy blankets. Luckily for myself and fellow Montrealers, the temperature outside is mild so that means it is an optimal day for running errands. It is snowing all day but according to my iPhone the flurries stop in 42 … Continue reading DAY 14: Sunday Vibes
Good Morning Interwebs! Part of my 30 Day Challenge is making sure that I am awake by a certain time every morning. So far, most mornings, I wake up even before my alarm goes off and I start my day. This new feeling of having the entire day laid out in front of me (and new habit of trying to get into bed early as well) has left me feeling refreshed. Well, definitely in the mornings… at night, I am ready for sleep way earlier than before. But also, I am making a real effort to get into bed even … Continue reading DAY 5: The Early Bird
I could have put out a song about anything right now, except I chose to put one out about an everlasting bond. My friendship with Daniel did not end the day he passed away at 15 years old. I may have lost the ability to call him on the phone, or crack jokes with him into the early hours of the morning, but I know that he is always with me. Daniel, this one is for you.
