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!

Andre Correa’s New Single “Histórias” Explores How Stories Change in the Telling

Published

on

The best instrumental music makes you feel something you can’t quite name. Brazilian guitarist Andre Correa’s new single “Histórias” works like that, building a narrative without a single word by exploring how stories transform as they pass between people.

The track, which translates to “Stories” in English, draws from baião and fusion to create something that unfolds like a conversation you’re overhearing. Correa structured the composition around the concept of a game of telephone, where a single idea gets reinterpreted through different emotional filters until it returns to something clearer than where it started. The piece swells and contracts, moving through restlessness and conflict before landing somewhere more settled and direct.

“Histórias” by Andre Correa

“The work invites the listener to create their own interpretation,” Correa explains. “Each person hears a different story within the same music.”

It’s a fitting approach for a guitarist who treats composition as personal archaeology. Correa, a Berklee College of Music graduate now based in Orlando, doesn’t start with theory or structure when he writes. He starts with whatever he’s actually living through, picking up his guitar and trying to translate feeling into sound. One idea leads to another until the piece reveals its own direction. “I only feel comfortable when I can see the full picture and everything feels cohesive, like the music is telling one clear story,” he says.

That process shaped his debut album “Seasons,” released November 29, 2025, which documents his years in Boston through seven original tracks. But “Histórias,” releasing in 2026, pushes further into abstraction, examining not just personal experience but the nature of how experience gets communicated and distorted over time. Multiple musical “voices” emerge from a single theme, creating layers that explore the relationship between noise, interpretation, and truth.

‘Seasons’ by Andre Correa

Correa was born in Valinhos, São Paulo, and raised in Campinas, learning keyboard from his father at eight before picking up guitar at twelve. Playing in church communities taught him early that music works best as service rather than spectacle, a belief that stuck through his formal training at Berklee, where he studied with faculty including Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, and Randy Roos. His time at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute took him into hospitals and rehabilitation centers, reinforcing his sense that music exists to create space for something meaningful to happen.

The immigrant experience of rebuilding life in the United States has informed his writing as much as any classroom. Moving countries, learning to navigate unfamiliar systems, processing the particular loneliness of starting over in a new place: all of it feeds into work that prioritizes emotional honesty over technical display.

“I don’t think of my work as just songs or compositions,” Correa says. “I think of each piece as a small narrative, a space where melody, harmony, rhythm, and improvisation work together to express something human: faith, doubt, change, longing, gratitude, conflict, hope.”

Beyond his recording projects, Correa is preparing to launch an educational book series called “The Ultimate Guide,” with the first volume, “Major Pentatonic: The Ultimate Guide,” scheduled for release in January 2026. The series applies his FCA Method, a framework focused on helping guitarists develop their own musical identity rather than just memorizing patterns. He currently performs regularly at Jazz Tastings in Orlando, where he develops his sound and refines his artistic direction in a live setting.

‘Major Pentatonic – The Ultimate Guide’ by Andre Correa

Correa isn’t chasing anything grand with his music. If someone walks away feeling a little more present, a little more honest with themselves, or simply more connected to their own emotions, he figures the work has done what it was supposed to do.

“Histórias” rewards that kind of attention. The track doesn’t demand you understand it on first listen. It just asks you to sit with it long enough to find whatever story you needed to hear.

GMDCASH Talks Comebacks, Jail Time, and Why He’s Just Getting Started

Published

on

GMDCASH

Some artists talk about grinding. Others actually live it. Calvin Davenport, better known as GMDCASH, falls squarely into the second category. The Seattle-born rapper has navigated the kind of obstacles that would make most people quit, including incarceration, legal restrictions on his content, and the predatory side of an industry that loves to take advantage of independent artists. He’s still here, though, and with previous coverage in outlets like Earmilk and The Source already under his belt, his recent output suggests he’s figured out how to turn setbacks into fuel.

His latest single “Bump A Whore Pt. 2,” released January 16th, 2026, sees him team up with MikeJack3200 and Frostydasnowmann for a polished follow-up to the original. But it was his comeback track “I’m The Product,” dropped at the top of the year, that set the tone. That title isn’t just a song name. It’s a thesis statement. The track positions GMDCASH as someone who’s done waiting for opportunities to find him. Instead, he’s become the opportunity. With a new EP on the way, he’s building momentum on his own terms.

We caught up with GMDCASH to talk about what drives him, how he creates, and what’s next.

GMDCASH / January Cover

Take us back to a specific moment when you knew this was what you were going to do. What happened?

I think after getting out of jail I geared my focus towards my music career. I really needed a positive outlet, something that woke me up, drove me, and inspired me and the people around me. Music did that for me.

If someone’s never heard your music before, how would you describe what you do?

I would say my music is for everyone. I have a pretty big catalog and it’s forever expanding, so if you don’t hear something you like, check back every now and again. I’m sure something will catch your ear. And if not, it’s more than music. It’s my life story. I want people to be inspired by my music. I want people to hear it and know that anything is possible.

Who or what shaped your creative voice the most?

My family is a big part of my influence. Both my parents and some of my family members have been in the industry. Growing up in a musical household is number one. I have a unique style. I couldn’t say one thing shaped my creative voice, and I feel like my creativity is forever changing every time I’m in the studio.

Walk us through how you actually create.

Honestly, I book a session and spend four hours minimum in the studio. Sometimes I don’t even book. I’ll just feel something and call a studio and get to work. Most beats are made as soon as I pull up. The producer gives me the sample, I approve, he starts the loop. Most of my lyrics are life experience, so it’s not hard for me to make a song. I just rap how I’m feeling. Sometimes it’s a smooth process, others take time. Then they mix and master and I schedule the release.

What’s something you had to figure out the hard way?

I think going to jail at the end of the year was really a wake up call. I have to protect myself and keep people around me who want what’s really best for me, not just have anyone around me.

Is there anyone you’d love to work with down the line?

I really would like to collab with Hurricane Wisdom.

Where are you at in your music career right now?

This is just the beginning. I feel there’s so much more to come. Music is my passion. I don’t think I’m leaving the mic anytime soon.

What are you working on that you’re excited about?

I’m excited for my next EP coming out early this year. I focused on songs with uplifting, positive energy and the GMD, Get Money Daily, vibe. I’m hoping to do at least two shows before the middle of the year. I’m just excited about the possibility of the new year and all the good things it has to bring.

If there’s one thing you want readers to take away from this feature, what is it?

I’m an up and coming Seattle rapper. Check out my music, be inspired, follow my page, interact, share your thoughts.

GMDCASH

What stands out about GMDCASH isn’t the adversity itself. Plenty of artists have tough stories. It’s the clarity that came out of it. He’s not chasing validation or waiting for a label to cosign his vision. Beyond music, he has plans to move into artist management and eventually relocate abroad. For listeners who connect with authenticity over polish, that long-term thinking is the whole point.

Meet Lil Deezull, the Cambridge Rapper Finding His Moment

Published

on

Lil Deezull

Some artists spend years waiting for their moment without realizing it already came and went. Lil Deezull knows what that feels like. He’s been rapping since 2015, freestyling with friends in Cambridge, Maryland long before he thought of it as a career. It took seven years and a viral track before he understood what he’d been sitting on.

The Cambridge rapper, born August 16, 2005, didn’t start out with a plan. His first actual track, “Big Booty,” got passed around locally and gave him his first taste of what connecting with an audience felt like. But it wasn’t until 2022 that everything clicked. A track called “Purple Rain” went viral, and suddenly the kid who’d been rapping for fun had people actually paying attention.

Lil Deezull

“Since then I started taking my music career seriously,” Lil Deezull says. That shift shows in his output. His 2024 album, For All The Snow Bunnies, marked his biggest project to date and helped establish him beyond his Eastern Shore hometown.

The numbers tell part of the story. His track “Suffering” has pulled over 106,000 plays with solid engagement, while newer releases like “NO KINGS” show he’s building consistent momentum rather than chasing one-off hits. He works primarily in hip-hop and rap, pulling from the melodic trap style popularized by artists like The Kid LAROI and Polo G, but he’s not interested in staying in one lane.

“I am a multi genre artist and I make music for everyone,” he explains. Recently, that’s meant studying country artists like Morgan Wallen, looking for ways to expand his reach beyond rap’s typical audience. It’s an unconventional move for a young rapper from Maryland, but it speaks to how he thinks about his career.

His lyrics draw from personal experience. Daily life, observations, things he sees and hears in Cambridge. He wants listeners to find something relatable.

“My hope is that people will relate to me and that my music can help them get through whatever they are going through in life,” Lil Deezull says.

‘Maryland Man’ by Lil Deezull

His next project, Maryland Man, drops May 16 and represents a return to collaboration after a solo-focused 2024. The album features fellow Cambridge rappers Lil Mop and Murda2x alongside international collaborator Brixton, who appeared on For All The Snow Bunnies. It’s a deliberate effort to spotlight his hometown’s scene while building on last year’s momentum.

At 19, Lil Deezull has already been making music for nearly a decade. He’s had time to figure out what he wants to say, and he’s also had time to accumulate regrets. “Don’t be like me and have a life full of missed opportunities,” he says. “Live your life and take any chance you get.”

It’s a surprising bit of self-awareness from someone still early in his career, but it tracks with why he finally got serious after “Purple Rain” took off. He’d spent seven years treating music like a hobby while the moment kept knocking. Now he’s answering the door.
