Rising Above: Aruna's Journey to Creating Her Own World Welcome to our interview with Aruna, an up-and-coming artist whose latest single, "Real World," delves into the challenges of navigating authority figures and cynical voices. With a central theme of empowerment encapsulated in the lyric "we're gonna rise up and take our place," Aruna explores the concept of owning one's power to create a world that resonates with personal values and dreams. Aruna's journey in music began at a young age, drawing inspiration from her musical family. Her father and grandmother, both musicians, instilled in her a deep love for the art form. However, Aruna only started writing her own songs a few years ago, constantly evolving and experimenting with her music along the way. Her musical influences range from Taylor Swift's songwriting prowess to the vocal stylings of Tori Kelly and Ariana Grande. Aruna's creative process is deeply personal, drawing from her own experiences and emotions. She sees songwriting as a way to express herself authentically, using her music as a journal to convey her thoughts and feelings. Reflecting on her journey in the music industry, Aruna highlights the challenges faced by emerging artists due to limited resources. She stresses the importance of support and representation, particularly as an Indian woman in the pop music industry. Aruna aspires to bring positive change and greater diversity to the music industry, aiming to be a role model for others. Stay tuned for Aruna's captivating music and be inspired to rise up and take your place in the world you create. Listen to Real World below   Follow Aruna below Spotify Soundcloud Bandcamp Youtube Instagram What is your stage name? Aruna What was the role of music in the early years of your life? I’ve always had a passion for music and have been singing and performing for as long as I can remember, but I only started writing my own songs about 3 or 4 years ago. I’m constantly discovering new things about music and learning and growing as I go. This song, for instance, has taken a very new direction sonically to my previous releases and that’s what I love about it! Are you from a musical or artistic family? I am! Both my father and my grandmother were musicians so it’s definitely in my blood and something that I grew up immersed in. My grandmother is the first person I ever performed with when I was 6 or 7, and she taught me a lot about music when I was growing up. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I’ve always wanted to be a part of the music industry especially because I saw my father and grandmother doing it too, and I’m really grateful for that. If we’re talking about my early inspirations in music, they included artists like Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Demi Lovato, etc. They were the reason I became interested in pop music, and I’ve always wanted to follow in their footsteps. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? Interesting question! Growing up in India, not a lot of bands and artists would tour in my area so I actually didn’t experience my first concert till very recently. I remember there was this German band called ‘Fotos’ that performed at our school once if you can count that- but my first real concert was only in 2021 when I went to see Arlo Parks at Chalk in Brighton and she was truly amazing! How could you describe your music? I have a really wide range of influences for my music- I’d say a really big one is Taylor Swift when it comes to songwriting, and then vocally artists like Tori Kelly and Ariana Grande have always inspired me. Lyrics and vocals have always been super important to me so I try to reflect that in the songs I release- but sonically my music has gone from being acoustic to more commercially pop, and now we’re doing pop punk so I’d like to say there’s a lot of range in there! Describe your creative process. Writing songs to me is almost like writing a jou

rnal. It’s been a very healthy way to express my emotions and personally I find it hard to write about things I haven’t experienced firsthand. So my songs are always very personal to me. For instance, the song I just released -Real World- came from a moment of anger after my ex boss made a sarcastic comment that I would never make it in the “real world”. I put the lyrics and melody down and then my partner Kamran Ramsden put it to guitar chords and arranged and produced the music. What musician do you admire most and why? The musician I admire the most currently is definitely Olivia Rodrigo. I think she’s able to bring together both beautiful lyrics and impressive vocals in her songs, and that’s the ultimate goal with my music so I’m definitely taking notes from her for all my future releases! Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? Oh yeah definitely. I started off by top lining on electronically produced tracks that were never fully mine, and now I’m finally writing and releasing music true to my feelings and I’m achieving the sound I want. I’m so glad I have the resources now to write the kind of music that I myself love listening to. What are your interests outside of music? Music is my biggest interest, but outside of that I love reading, spending quality time with my friends and family, going to concerts, etc. My biggest interest outside of music, though, would probably be reading. If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? Well, I am currently working full time in PR! As growing artists we’re constantly hustling to move ourselves forward, so I’ve got a really busy schedule- as I know a lot of my friends in the music industry do as well. A lot of us are working other jobs and pursuing music in our down time- that’s why it’s so important to support small artists, we work really hard! What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? I think one of biggest challenges I’ve faced in the music industry is that there are not enough resources for budding artists and it’s really difficult when you’re starting your journey to know where to begin. Thankfully, I had some support with that as I was able to network and surround myself with other musicians who were doing the same thing as me. If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? The one thing I’d change about the music industry is definitely the lack of diversity. As an Indian woman in the pop music industry, there are not a lot of people like me and I didn’t have a lot of representation growing up. I’m really passionate about this issue and really want to bring more positive representation into the industry. https://open.spotify.com/artist/6daCidClR9EFJorFuwv60l?si=Gb1qMkr7RCCeO6r3XzwB9g Why did you choose this as the title of this project? I’ve often heard people use the term ‘real world’ in a negative way. People have preconceived ideas of what the ‘real world’ is, and it got me thinking about why I would want to live in a world where my dreams are not achievable, or where there’s only one accepted path, or where I’m constantly trying to fit in to someone else’s standards. The song is supposed to send an empowering message that no matter what anyone else says, we make our own paths in life, we set our standards, and we make our own world- that’s where the lyric “I don’t wanna live in your real world, I like the space that I create” comes from. What are your plans for the coming months? I have more releases coming! Not just that, I’m also playing a gig at Fiddlers Elbow in Camden on the 28th of July. If you’re around, you should come- it’s a great venue, it’s always so much fun, and it’s gonna be a great night! What message would you like to give to your fans? Take your time to figure out what makes you happy and what you’re passionate about, and then do more of that. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise, because at the end of the day you’re the one who’s going to be living this life- not

them. Create your own space and rise up and take your place.

In a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, Lee Switzer-Woolf shared the main inspiration behind the album and this is what he had to say about it: “Annihilation Signals are used to measure the potential existence of dark matter. That idea of looking for something that we can’t see but that affects every aspect of our universe really fitted the themes of the album for me.” He continued saying; “It’s anxiety, it’s the threat of nuclear war, the climate crisis, our political landscapes, but also our personal ones. We are all being held in this state of potential catastrophe, and that’s what I was trying to examine with the new album.” Each song on the album is finely tuned to fit the listener's musical taste regardless of their background and that is a thing which can be attributed to Lee Switzer-Woolf. Annihilation Signals was written, performed, and home-recorded by Switzer-Woolf, and Mixed and Mastered by long-time collaborator Aden Pearce. You can literally taste the sweat and blood which was put in to get this project done, listening to Annihilation Signals you can clearly tell the beauty of it although some of the songs are melancholic, they convey a deep message with resonates with the listener. Lee Switzer-Woolf had more to say about his personal life and musical journey as whole.

Nope, it’s just my name! Where do you find inspiration? A lot of my songs tend to be introspective, dealing with anxiety, grief, and personal relationships. On the new album I’ve tried to look outward more but really it’s just catastrophising on a greater scale. What was the role of music in the early years of your life? I always felt a connection to music, but I didn’t act on it nearly enough in my youth. I started writing song lyrics very young, but I never did anything with them. I didn’t naturally feel any talent for music and I didn’t push myself to really try until college. Are you from a musical or artistic family? No, I’m not. My mum would show me 60’s music she liked, like Herman’s Hermits, but it was my brother’s musical taste that really caught my attention. He got me into bands like Radiohead, and that’s when I started to feel a genuine connection to music. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I don’t think of myself as being part of the music industry. I’m perfectly content to be making music for myself, and the fact that other people have found a connection to the songs is amazing. In terms of inspiration though, I think I would’ve given up making music long ago if it weren’t for my friend Alex. He and I have been in punk bands together for over 20 years now, and for as long as we’ve known each other he has pushed me to get my music out there, long before I believed in my ability to do that. How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I taught myself mostly. The first band I ever formed was with a friend of mine, Pally, and we were dark indie-folk songs, not dissimilar to the kind of thing I put out

now. Except that all I did was write the lyrics, because that’s all I could do. I bought a guitar from him and started to learn to play and went from there. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? It was Radiohead, touring OK Computer, at a sports centre in Reading. 20+ years later I’m still trying to top that. How could you describe your music? My music has been described as indie-folk or folktronica. At the heart it is simple introspective alt-folk, but I’ve built in electronic elements. Certainly my new album is much fuller in sound than my previous effort, less focussed on acoustic guitar and stripped back arrangements and more built around a full band sound. Describe your creative process. I almost always start with the lyrics. Lyricism has always been where my heart lies, and my main driving reason to keep creating. I try to write as much as possible, preferably writing something every day, even if it’s just a few lines. The musical side doesn’t come as naturally to me. I usually play around with an acoustic guitar and try to get something basic going in terms of melody and song structure. On the new album a lot of the work came together in actually recording the songs, as I tried to add as much as possible, knowing I could strip away what wasn’t needed or wasn’t working later. It was all about getting down a lot of ideas. Once the tracks were recorded I handed them over to Aden Pearce, who also mixed and mastered my last album Scientific Automatic Palmistry. Shifting through the mud of my recordings and clearing up / highlighting the best bits is like a super power that he possesses, which I definitely do not. I think we work very well together in that respect. What musician do you admire most and why? I love Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. It comes back to lyrics again, and the sheer depth and consistency of his work is unbelievable. He’s also seemingly not stopped creating for well over 20 years, without diminishing returns. https://open.spotify.com/artist/39FQMAp2C86W7yagW3n43h?si=UMpiKLYeRzudOzR7-MmP9g Who do you see as your main competitor? I don’t really know what that means, I don’t think musicians have competitors, do they? I will say that my 6 year old has started freestyling his own song lyrics and I’m a little concerned that he might be catching me up already. So, I’ll go with him. What are your interests outside of music? I love all kinds of writing, and I’ve tried my hand at poetry, screenwriting and that kind of thing. I wouldn’t say I’m good at any of it, but I feel lost when I don’t have something that I’m working on. Why did you choose this as the title of this project? Annihilation Signals are used to measure the potential existence of dark matter. That idea of looking for something that we can’t see but that affects every aspect of our universe really fitted the themes of the album for me. It’s anxiety, it’s the threat of nuclear war, the climate crisis, our political landscapes, but also our personal ones. We are all being held in this state of potential catastrophe, and that’s what I was trying to examine with the new album. What are your plans for the coming months? I’m going to be promoting the new album as much as possible. I’m playing a run of acoustic shows with two fantastic artists Page of Swords and Jack Cade, which I’m really looking forward to. I’m also finishing off an album with my punk band Launch Control, which has been such a great process so far, so that is really exciting. Do you have any artistic collaboration plans? There are a couple of things that I’ve talked about with various other artists that I’m really interested in pursuing. The idea of collaborating is something I’m definitely interested in, so we’ll see what happens. What message would you like to give your fans? I’m just very appreciative of all the support that the last album received. I really hope that people find something for themselves in these new s

ongs. Let me know what you think, I’d love to hear from you.

Blueburst Releases The 'Supernova' Supernova was created under the logos “No one gets out of life alive” and this fact has been boldly etched into the sophomore single of singer-songwriter and producer Craig Douglas Miller who performs under the pseudonym Blueburst. After more than two decades of being on a hiatus, Blueburst finally dusted himself off and decided to jump back to doing what he found joy and happiness doing most. He got in touch with one of his musical idols, legendary guitarist Marty Willson-Piper (The Church, Noctorum, MOAT) and the fusion gave birth to Supernova. Supernova is fast-paced, energetic, and full of the explosive drumline, it’s a follow-up od his debut single “Vanish”. The lyrics of the song compliments the instrumental of the song as the lyrics of the song are circled around making the best out of your life because you have only one life. "No one gets out alive No one gets any more time" This is a recurring hook and before you realize you are singing - “After turning 50, I decided it was time to quit stalling and get on with it, damn the torpedoes,” said Miller. “That’s what this song is about. We only get one shot at life, and you’ve got to make the most of things while you can.” – says Blueburst. How he crafts the lyrics of the song to crawl under your skin is a skill only few artist can ever lay their hands on, and he makes good use of you, his song-writing skills cannot be overlooked, he gives something you can jam to and same time reason with. The sound resonates with everybody as death they say is inevitable, such a wonderful way to put that ethos.
