Alchemist got his start as the teenaged sidekick to Cypress Hill and the Soul Assassins. Though his rap group, The Whooliganz, would be dumped by their label before they could even release their first album, Al did not let the setback stop him. In fact, by the time he dropped out of NYU the MC-turned-beat-maker already had a catalog with a couple classics, and more on the way. In the 25 years since Al has continued to develop as a musician, embracing new generations and new styles, while also reinventing his business model from the typical front half advance + pub and writing backend to a more Direct-To-Consumer model. And as a result of this conscious shift in economics, he has more latitude than ever with his craft.

Fernanda Pistelli @ Boom Festival 2022 Hotney 6 Streams • 4 years ago

“You are the master
The alchemist of your life
Use your eyes to look
And open your heart to see
Feel the infinity presence of your own being
Now, in this Earth
With freedom and trust we grow
And being the source of love we flow
Believe in love
And dance the music of your soul
You are free”

These words in the intro of the set are to remind us that we are masters of our lives, free beings experiencing all this here and now, alchemists of our own destiny, as the name of this beautiful stage I played (Alchemy Circle).

Boom is the festival I most admire for its purpose of awakening the world and bringing people together by sharing respect, love and sustainability. Playing at this festival was the realization of one of my biggest dreams! I am immensely grateful to the Boom team who believed in my work and for welcoming me with so much love!!! No words S2
Here's my huge thanks to UP Audiovisual, who once again did an impeccable job in filming and editing this video, always registering smiles and lots of love through the lens, you guys are amazing!!
To the DM7 group that makes dreams come true, especially to Diogo, my partner who is with me in all of them, always giving me the greatest support and partnership!
I want to thank "Coletivo Tempo é Arte" that helped us in the intro with this transcendental Native American Flute that was played by Jessica Ariosi.
And a huge gratitude to everyone who danced with me and shared a lot of love through music!!! This is the universal language that connects us by essence ❤️
Without further ado, I hope you like it :)

“Você é o mestre
O alquimista da sua vida
Use seus olhos para olhar
E abra seu coração para enxergar
Sinta a presença infinita do seu próprio ser
Agora, nesta Terra
Com liberdade e confiança nós crescemos
E sendo a fonte de amor nós fluímos
Acredite no amor
E dance a música da sua alma
Você é livre”

Essas palavras na introdução do set são para nos lembrar que somos donos de nossas vidas, seres livres experienciando tudo isso aqui e agora, alquimistas do nosso próprio destino, como já diz o nome deste palco lindo que toquei (Alchemy Circle).

O Boom é o festival que mais admiro pelo seu propósito de despertar o mundo e trazer a união das pessoas compartilhando respeito, amor e sustentabilidade. Tocar nesse festival foi a realização de um dos meus maiores sonhos! Sou imensamente grata à equipe do Boom que acreditou no meu trabalho e por me acolherem com tanto amor!!! Sem palavras S2
Fica aqui meu agradecimento para a UP Audiovisual, que mais uma vez fizeram um trabalho impecável na filmagem e edição desse vídeo, sempre registrando sorrisos e muito amor através das lentes, vocês são incríveis!!
À DM7 group que possibilita os sonhos a se tornarem realidade, em especial ao Diogo, meu parceiro que está comigo em todas sempre me dando o maior suporte e parceria sem igual!
Quero agradecer ao Coletivo Tempo é Arte que nos fortaleceu na gravação da Intro com essa flauta nativa americana transcendental que foi tocada pela Jessica Ariosi.
E um imenso obrigada a todos que dançaram comigo e compartilham muito amor através da música!!! Essa linguagem universal do amor que nos conecta pela essência ❤️
Sem mais delongas, espero que gostem :)

Endea Owens and The Cookout: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 6 Streams • 4 years ago

Jazz may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of The Juilliard School, but perhaps this series of Tiny Desks will change that. Tiny Desk and Jazz Night in America celebrate the 20th anniversary of Juilliard Jazz with three Tiny Desk concerts featuring performances by current students and alumni of the prestigious institution.

Nikki Birch | August 29, 2022
Clad in a fringed, royal blue halter suit, bassist Endea Owens and her band The Cookout were all smiles. Although she’s no stranger to the Tiny Desk (playing with Jon Batiste in 2020) Owens was giddy with excitement to perform her own music with fellow Juilliard alumni. She spoke about the importance of using her music to speak for the voiceless, and to build and enrich communities. She’s not all talk either — during the COVID-19 pandemic, the house bassist for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has hosted community cookouts, playing music for people in Harlem and handing out hundreds of free meals.

The first tune “Where the Nubians Grow” is a head-bobbing groove dedicated to her hometown of Detroit. With “Feel Good,” her fierce intro gives way to a catchy bass line that the band joyfully hopscotches over. Owens then dims the proverbial lights with “Love Cynical” a song that gives ballroom jazz with silky horn lines and a sensuous beat. Before we can get too cozy, the band erupts into “Cycles,” a dizzying showcase for horns and drums.

To close her shows, Owens always asks audiences to participate in affirmations allowing a continuation of the positive vibes. After a brief introduction of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” the band plays “For the People (In dedication to Taleshia Chandler),” another uplifting number. This Tiny Desk energized the whole room, each musician a master of their instrument. Owens joked: “We are all Juilliard alumni, so you can hear it in the sound.”

Jess Glynne - Take Me Home [One Shot] Hotney 6 Streams • 2 years ago

When I wrote this song I was fighting with myself, trying to understand why I was so broken, why I had been left and was hurting so badly, why I felt like I had lost something that I would never have again and why I felt like it was all my fault. I felt like I was never going to be happy again. I signed my record deal and my dreams were coming true but the person I loved wasn't there and it didn't hide the fact that my soul was unbalanced.

I wrote this song when I was angry and nothing felt right. I didn't know how to get past the emptiness I was feeling. Once I wrote it, I put it to bed and didn't listen to it for months and months and I slowly started to take on my life with a different perspective. My friend said to me give yourself space and time and it's true, that's all I needed. I was reminded of who I was as a person by someone who cared so much and wouldn't let me break. I was given an opportunity to make an album and have a career in doing what I love, which is something I had worked so hard for, for so many years, and I wasn't going to let a broken heart defeat me. Hope through heartbreak was my new perspective on life. I re-visited this song and edited it. I changed it from one about me feeling sorry for myself and a person who didn't even deserve that much from me, to one about the person who caught me before I hit the ground and made me believe in myself again. This song was written to you. Not to the person who broke me in so many ways but the person who helped save me from drowning in something that wasn't worth drowning in. This song is now about being grateful and taking advice from the people who care, and who are there for you when you are in need. So thank you.

I wanted to share this version of the video because this is all this song really needed to show. I was naked and alone in a room with a camera, bare, fragile and empty. There was a time when I was all of this and couldn't have felt any worse in myself. When I stood there and sang this song on the day we made the video, stripped of everything, I was reminded of all that I had gone through. I couldn't have been prouder of how far I have come and I couldn't have been more grateful for the people surrounding me in my life. Jo'lene had this idea for Take Me Home and it couldn't be more perfect, I can normally picture how I want things to go for my videos but for this one I couldn't and she could. Both Jo'lene and Declan made this video and took full creative control of something that I was incapable of envisioning because it was so personal. I can't thank you both enough for something that represents both me and my song so superbly. To the person who told me time would heal me, this song is for you.
