Melodies of Transformation: Scott Howard’s Musical Quest to Awaken Souls

Published

on

In the realm where rhythm and inspiration converge, there’s an artist who orchestrates melodies that transcend the ordinary and cross into the profound. Scott Howard, the musical virtuoso known for his transformative compositions, has woven an entrancing tapestry of sound that not only echoes within the ears but also resonates deeply within the very core of his listeners. As Popular Hustle steps into his musical sanctuary, we explore the depths of Scott’s creative journey, his perspective on the intersection of music and personal growth, and how he envisions his harmonious tunes igniting souls across the world.

“Sonic Alchemy: Merging Soundscapes and Emotions”
Your music seems to seamlessly blend different emotional landscapes with intricate soundscapes. How do you approach the fusion of emotions and melodies, and could you elaborate on how this synergy creates a unique connection with your audience?

The alchemy of sound and emotion—that’s a very cool way of putting it. The music crafted holds a prophetic essence, representing a New Now, and ancient genre of channeled events from Source at 432Hz. It all began around the age of seven, a pivotal time when a recurring dream guided my path. Years later, I learned the reason behind that dream—it was described by a medium & an independent psychic as resulting from an abduction at age seven, an event that set me on a journey to use lyrics and melodies in 432Hz to awaken others. 

Synchronicity plays its role too. The passing of my son Maxx, precisely 12 months from the day, heightened my emotions and catalyzed a cathartic outpouring. Months of writing birthed music that will find its place on future albums. The subject matter has a profound impact on me, often driving melodies forth. Occasionally, it’s the reverse—melodies conceived for events yet to unfold, adding new chapters to the volumes of my life, my albums acting as books and the songs as chapters within.

My personal awakening in 2017 introduced yet another layer of significance to my creative thoughts. An urge emerged to compose a song about a future Harvest—a time necessitating global healing. This birthed “Harvest Blessings,” an acoustic piece about times to come, resonating with listeners who’ve experienced loss, especially those who’ve lost children since the onset of Covid. Music offers solace and a path forward, a path that resonates most profoundly in the harmonious vibrations of 432Hz.  The most synchronistic fact was, upon the death of my son Maxx, I was sent by the state his death certificate.  Information was given and one such item was his Social Security Number.   I looked in utter amazement and, in a way, felt in a way, a relief. You see, his Social Security Number was MY PHONE NUMBER AT AGE 7! The odds are impossible. It would be amazing if it were the last say 4 numbers… THIS WAS ALL OF THEM IN ORDER! The only explanation is, this is a simulation matrix.  In my day, our phone number was the one thing we had to memorize if we got lost… HOW COULD IT BE?  Nine out of nine numbers, my entire phone number at the age when I was abducted. WE ARE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE…. NOR DO I BELIEVE IN OUR BASE REALITY.

“I asked the man with a faceless mask, what is this madness for…a world with nothing left for us …”  

“No peace, no love, only war…”

‘All the saints and sinners are just standing in a line…there’s plenty of room for everyone,

but we’re running out of time…”

“Dreamer…. Oh, dreamer…”

“Harbinger of Resonance: Crafted Frequencies in Your Work”
Your compositions are noted for their unique resonance. Could you shed light on the process behind selecting frequencies or tones for your music, and how do you believe these crafted vibrations impact the listener’s experience?

Our average body composition is 70% water, and it carries a remarkable memory. Water responds to our words—kind ones form intricate frozen shapes, while negativity distorts its patterns. Even more fascinating, show water a photo of a face placed above it for a mere moment, and when frozen, that exact image emerges. Similarly, music resonating at 432Hz aligns with the Earth’s frequency, bathing us in positivity. It’s like higher vibrations crafting enhanced listening skills, fostering involved and content listeners who, I hope, awaken to both the world’s intricacies and Terra’s plight, ready to address its needs.

“The sun might be cloudy…on some days…but never… embers of life will extinguish our flame…”

“Never alone or afraid…living in love’s light…you’ll always be saved…”

“Together forever…heavens source made…we are forever…”

“Unveiling Identity: Music as a Mirror to Self-Discovery”
Music often becomes a vessel for artists to express their inner selves. How has your musical journey intertwined with your personal growth, and in what ways do you find your own transformation reflected in the notes and lyrics of your compositions?

The music IS ME. And I AM MUSIC. There’s a fascinating anecdote about George Harrison that comes to mind. A psychic friend of his, during his earthly existence, conducted readings. When he transitioned, she reached out to him, inquiring about his current pursuits. His spirit responded with a profound statement: “Where I am… I am music.” This incident inspired me to craft a song titled “I AM MUSIC.” It resonated deeply with me, encapsulating the profound connection between our essence and the harmonious vibrations we create.

“I am music…the things that I say…the curiosity of what I’ve learned today…”

“I am here, the same as you…”

“A soul born at the same time to question the view…”

“Why are we here at this time…. this thought has clouded my mind…”

“Here to learn our lessons well…a veiled prison cell…”

“I am music…the things that I see…a soul’s climb is the same as an old oak tree…”

“Will you find your life of worth this time…or live it all over again…a Karmic mind…”

We are all receivers, based on the frequency we have achieved or the higher vibration we resonate…. the more stations or hidden worlds we see, and become aware of, the luckier we get.  As the events or experiences manifest, the realities and experiences get better.

The above lyric was written in 2012.  I hope my lyrics have gotten better…LOL. My life experiences and events have undeniably shaped both the stories and melodies. It’s fascinating how everyone perceives a song uniquely; one may appreciate the vocals while not connecting with the melody, and another might find the melody captivating yet find the voice off-key (how they decipher that, I’m not entirely sure…LOL).  My latest single “We Are Forever in 432Hz” was put out with a music video… and you wouldn’t believe the experiences, people have had, every person, contradicts the other… they all hear something based on the frequency they are at… Now, the idea is to get everyone moving in the same direction… be light!

“Narratives Beyond Lyrics: Painting Stories with Sound”
Your compositions often tell stories without the need for words. How do you convey complex narratives through instrumental music, and could you provide an example of a piece that encapsulates a particularly profound message or story?

Staying with my new music video which is unlike any other… it narrates an image-rich story of a world brimming with forgotten wonders, all returning to rouse the slumbering masses. Now, about the music itself, I can’t help but reflect on the review of Music Farmer 5: “In the sprawling canvas of contemporary music, few artists consistently tap into the shared soul of humanity like Scott Howard.  Known for his visionary prowess and commitment to themes of love, unity, healing, and self-discovery.  Howard resonates with an ethereal brand of music that transcends the ordinary.” 

I choose to create art in colored music telling a story, using everything in my arsenal to make a person calm, uncomfortable, angry, and sad enough to question the status quo. Transformation and growth seldom occur without a measure of pain. Most music springs from that very wellspring of pain. Our world, particularly at this juncture, is veering into turmoil, with malevolent forces at the helm. The reality we live seems straight out of a show, encompassing villains, heroes (hopefully), creatures, extraterrestrial beings, and even enchantment! Magic permeates every corner, yet so few explore and awaken others to its presence. Many remain unaware that our planet is hollow, while the moon, placed here eons ago, bears the same secret. The Truman Show, in a way, mirrors reality more than we might imagine, echoing the daily rhythm of “Good morning, good afternoon, good night.” It’s time to unveil the mysteries of a world that defies common understanding.

I envision a realm of mystique breaking free from a fabricated narrative that has lulled our masses into slumber. It’s time to joyfully awaken and head to school not merely to practice professions, but to uncover truths. The genuine remedies are reserved for an elite 1/10 of a percent, complete with their space fleet and army. Dark forces have commandeered the music industry, weaving melodies that relentlessly hammer listeners with words on issues that should never reach their ears, the public’s consciousness. We must reclaim our music and illuminate the public about the real events unfolding today—events shrouded by news outlets. “We Are Forever” endeavors to accomplish precisely this through imagery, music, and song. I’m hopeful that it resonates with individuals, and if you find it in your heart, share it forward, for in doing so, we collectively awaken more corners of the world.

“Outer lands…before races. Hearts were open. The Sun fed life’s seed…”

“When Ego, deceit or fear had no place in me….”

“They came from the heavens, looking for gold…viewed us as cattle…to this day…we’re still owned…”

“Games of Lies…curtains exposed. Rotting in a karmic Candyland…”

“Manufactured History, false flag wars…pedo Mickey-land.”

“Global Soundwaves: Aspirations for Impact”
Your music has the potential to cross-cultural and geographical boundaries. In what ways do you envision your compositions making a positive impact on a global scale, transcending language and uniting listeners through shared emotions and experiences?

Once more, this genre is steeped in ancient roots, the frequency it emanates from stretches beyond ancient itself. Our world hungers for positivity, a universal yearning that knows no bounds of gender, color, or creed. In essence, there’s only one soul—no differentiation between you, me, male, or female. We’re all fragments of the same soul, akin to fractals converging within a holographic matrix. This grand tapestry is woven for us to gather experiences and return them to Source. It’s intriguing to ponder that heaven, while often depicted as idyllic, might not hold the same allure as our earthly existence, given how everyone seems drawn to the imminent EVENT. We have the best seats…

“We have forgotten who we are… Angels of light from afar.”

“Escaping unseen prison walls… slaves from this ancient war…”

“Full life experience… a soul mission to be. Not coming back to this prison unfree…”

“Misinformation, what is real… who can we trust. In this divine new deal…”

The music bestowed upon me resonates profoundly with many. My hope rests in their willingness to share it and the world will be a better place… Unbeknownst to many, hidden technology remains hoarded by the elite, a treasure we could all enjoy. Think of universal space travel, a gift to the masses. Personally, I’m yearning for a performance on Ganymede, where the action is, of course!

iurisEkero Proves Pop Music Doesn’t Have to Be Loud to Be Good

Published

on

iurisEkero

There’s something refreshing about an artist who doesn’t chase volume. “I don’t make music to sound loud. I make music to sound deep,” says iurisEkero, and after diving into his catalog, you get exactly what he means.

Born in Mendoza, Argentina, iurisEkero (stylized in lowercase, like his approach to fame) grew up in a house where music wasn’t just background noise—it was the main conversation. His grandfather recorded albums as a vocalist, his father played trumpet, and young Iuris absorbed it all. But here’s what’s interesting: instead of just carrying the torch, he’s completely reimagined it.

Now splitting time between the USA and Argentina, iurisEkero creates what he calls “sonic exploration”—pop mixed with electronic textures, ethereal vocals, and these atmospheric moments that genuinely make you want to hit pause on everything else. He pulls inspiration from unexpected places: cities at night, red wine, those comfortable silences between people who know each other well, and what he describes as “the glitch of memories.”

His latest single, “This Summer Night,” dropped on August 19th and perfectly captures that specific magic. At 3:17, it’s packed with synths that stick in your head and a melody that somehow feels both nostalgic and brand new. Other tracks like “The Sun, The Wine and You” and “Midnight Drive” show his range—each one catching different emotional frequencies while keeping that distinctive warmth that comes from his bicultural perspective.

The numbers tell their own story. Nearly 3 million Spotify streams. Over a million YouTube views. But when you mention this to iurisEkero, he seems genuinely surprised. “I don’t even understand those numbers,” he admits. “I just enjoy and am grateful.”

What he hopes listeners take away is simple: that urge to play a song again, whether you’re remembering someone, dancing alone in your kitchen, or waiting for something you can’t quite name yet. Even his breakup songs somehow feel optimistic—there’s always this undercurrent of possibility in his work.

Currently working on a new album featuring various guest artists, iurisEkero seems ready for whatever comes next. The sound explorer from Mendoza has found his frequency, and people are definitely tuning in.

Alain Mékani Confronts Success and Solitude in New Single ‘Quiet’

Published

on

Alain Mékani

What happens when you achieve everything you dreamed of before turning 23, but there’s no one around to celebrate with? That’s the question Alain Mékani wrestles with in “Quiet,” his introspective new single that dropped August 1st, 2025.

The Dubai-based artist, who grew up in Beirut speaking Arabic with his mom and French with his dad while MTV played in the background, has been carving out his own corner of the Middle Eastern pop scene since his 2023 debut “Fool.” But this latest track hits different. It’s raw, honest, and uncomfortably relatable for anyone who’s ever felt alone in a room full of people.

Written during a period of professional success while living abroad, “Quiet” runs just over three minutes but packs an emotional punch. The track opens with Mékani reflecting on his younger self’s dreams—the car, the new place, all achieved before his 23rd birthday. But here’s where it gets real: “I left it all behind just to find myself / But am I really free?”

The chorus doesn’t pull punches either. When he admits “I’ve been going through some changes and my mind is fucking racing,” you feel that restless energy. It’s not polished pop perfection; it’s someone working through their stuff in real-time. The official music video, which premiered July 31st, visually captures this internal conflict.

“Quiet” by Alain Mékani

Family threads through every verse — and you can feel it. There’s the promise to make his mother proud, the desire to share his victories, and that gut-punch line about missing the people who matter most. The bridge transforms into something between a mantra and a desperate reminder: “Be somebody if you’re nobody.” It’s less motivational poster, more survival mechanism.

Since emerging with tracks like “Awlad El Haram” and his licensed reimagining of the Lebanese classic “Tallou Hbabna” earlier this year, Mékani has built a reputation for blending French, Arabic, and English lyrics with what critics call a “melancholic awakening” sound. Regional outlets including Musivv and Buro 24/7 Middle East have taken notice of his ability to pair cross-cultural production with genuine vulnerability.

The artist, who taught himself guitar after starting on accordion at eight, turned to songwriting as therapy following his father’s death in 2015. While working a marketing day job in Dubai, he spent nights and weekends learning production, eventually creating the demos that would launch his career.

Currently working on collaborations with Rayan Bailouni and Jay Janith, Mékani is pushing further into French territory with his upcoming releases. It’s a natural evolution for someone who grew up switching between languages at home. As he puts it: “I write in three languages because some emotions need more than one passport.”

“Quiet” is now streaming across all major platforms. Connect with Alain Mékani on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Anghami, Instagram, TikTok, and at alainmekani.com.

Siren Built Her Entire Sound in Secret and Now She’s Ready to Surface

Published

on

Siren

The first thing that hits you about Siren isn’t just her voice—it’s the sheer audacity of someone who taught themselves everything. No formal training, no music theory classes, just pure instinct driving her to create something that sounds like Rammstein got into a late-night conversation with Lana Del Rey while Massive Attack played in the background.

At 24, this LA-based artist has already written around 70 songs, most still unreleased, sitting in her vault like secrets waiting to surface. Born June 13, 2001, Siren started making music in 2019, and what’s emerged since then defies easy categorization. Her sound pulls from trip-hop pioneers like Portishead, the industrial weight of German metal, and the cinematic drama of Tchaikovsky—yes, the Swan Lake composer.

“Every ache must be turned into art,” she says about her approach to music. It’s this philosophy that drives her self-described “raw confessions where melancholy meets beauty.” Her mezzo-soprano voice shifts between whispered vulnerability and soaring intensity, creating what she calls “cold waves of sound that mesmerize like a siren’s voice in the night sea.”

Siren

The artist’s journey started unexpectedly early. One of her most vivid childhood memories involves her grandmother singing Russian folk songs on a winter swing—an experience she describes as “blue, cold, wintry, dark, nostalgic, deep, soulful, and melancholic.” By twelve, she’d discovered Rammstein, which she credits with awakening “strength, courage, resistance, and the spirit of a fighter.” The band shaped about 60% of her musical taste, while Lana Del Rey, who she calls her “musical mother,” opened up the other side of her artistic personality.

What’s striking about Siren’s work is how she balances opposing forces. She describes her music as reflecting both her anima and animus—the feminine emotional vulnerability paired with masculine instrumental drive. This duality shows up everywhere in her sound: acoustic piano meets electric guitars, string arrangements collide with rock drums, trip-hop grooves support orchestral swells.

Her latest release, “Devil 2019,” dropped on August 3, 2025, running 3:28 and showcasing her hypnotic vocal control. But it’s just a taste of what’s coming. Her debut single “Siren Heroine,” released on June 13, previews her upcoming album “Blue Blood,” which promises an oceanic, siren-themed concept drawn from songs written three to four years ago.

Siren

Beyond music, Siren works as a visual artist, filmmaker, and photographer, creating her own visual concepts exactly as she imagines them. She admits to both loving and fearing the ocean—thalassophobia mixed with an obsession for deep blue imagery. “I reflect what I fear. I am what I fear,” she explains.

When asked about dream collaborations, she mentions Hans Zimmer, Rammstein, and Lana Del Rey—though she notes that most of her musical heroes are dead. Her approach to creation remains uncompromising: “I don’t write for people—I write for myself. Music is how I let you know me.”

For those curious to dive deeper, Siren’s music can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, and her website. Follow her journey on Instagram and TikTok.
