Das macht ein Album zu einem Album." Simon Grohé hat klare Vorstellungen davon, was er in seiner Musik transportieren will. Auch sein Debütalbum "Mamaoerf" hat ein Thema -- und erzählt ganz persönliche Geschichten: "Meine Mutter ist an Krebs gestorben, es ging wahnsinnig schnell. Das ist natürlich ein Schock gewesen, aber man kann sich eben auch gut in Songs damit auseinandersetzen. 'Mamaoerf' ist ein Tribute-Album an Mama." Wer nun jedoch glaubt, dass "Mamaoerf" eine deprimierende musikalische Reise durch eine Moll-Landschaft aus Tod und Einsamkeit darstellt, der liegt falsch. Der sympathische Rapper-Songwriter aus Bonn hat diesen Schicksalsschlag vielmehr zum Anlass genommen, sich kleine und große Fragen bezüglich des menschlichen Miteinanders zu stellen. Und diese hat er zusammen mit seiner Band Soulions in ein Soundgewand gekleidet, das einerseits genügend Melancholie transportiert, um der nachdenklichen Grundstimmung gerecht zu werden, andererseits aber auch genug Platz lässt für den ansteckenden Optimismus eines 28-jährigen Vollblutkünstlers. "Ich wollte eben nicht wehleidig klingen. Das Album ist vielmehr voll mit Geschichten über Beziehungen zwischen Menschen. Es geht um Freundschaft, um Familie, um Liebe und eben auch Verlust." Dabei ist eine musikalische Einordnung von Simon Grohés Schaffen gar nicht so einfach: Er rappt, er singt, er verarbeitet Einflüsse aus HipHop, Soul und Reggae -- und umschifft dabei gekonnt jedes Klischee, das die genannten Genres mit sich bringen könnten. "Man kann nicht wirklich behaupten, dass ich ein HipHop-Künstler bin. Ich liebe HipHop und komme auch von da. Aber auch wenn ich rappe, sind meine Songs keine pure... Less

These are heart-tugging melodies complete with decisive chord changes, epic choruses and soaring strings.It sounds like an incredibly expensive record, the kind that many bands will spend years in the studio trying to achieve. But all these songs were written by Leighton on an acoustic guitar and recorded in little more than two weeks with a select bunch of high calibre collaborators. They've managed to create the kind of record that wouldn't have sounded out of place alongside some classic albums of the 1970s."My first experience of music was listening to my dad's old albums on this huge 1970s hi-fi we had," says Leighton. "I can still remember staring at these old LP covers, smelling my dad's aftershave on these big earmuff headphones! I think the most obvious influence on these songs are those classic albums that I was weaned on -- The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Nick Drake and all the rest, as well as the grungier stuff that I listened to in my early teens -- Nick Cave, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and, above all, Nirvana.""Kurt Cobain once said that he saw Nirvana songs as nursery rhymes, and I like that idea. All of the songs I write are pretty simple -- I don't think that any of them have more than four chords. They're easy to sing, easy to get stuck in your head. In some ways, I'm constrained by my lack of ability. If I was a better guitar player, I don't think I'd be able to write songs!"These songs were written after Leighton had all but given up making music. "After my last band split up I sold all my guitars and amps and vowed never to make music again," he... Less

While their musical influences have undoubtedly come from a wide array of musical and artistic spectrums, this trifecta ultimately blends together to create the band's unique and personal sound. The band released their first EP, Two In The Same, in 2010 while still studying in school, and then followed with STEP in the spring of 2012, featuring their hard-hitting single, "Release." Shortly after their sold out CD Release Show at the Bootleg Theatre in Silverlake, Kiven has continued to pack venues in the Los Angeles area on a nightly basis. Following the initial momentum and direction of sound from STEP (their previous EP), the recently released EP, "1840" continues to progress forward both sonically and emotively, reflecting Kiven's musical and personal growth. The tracks off of 1840 build in a more organic sense and with a naturally touching pull on the listener with pocket drums, grooving bass lines, hard hitting guitars, soaring vocals and lush harmonies. With the excitement of their new single, "Hope & Smoke", which reached #11 on Hype Machine and was featured on Indie Shuffle and Red Bull Soundstage, Kiven made their East Coast debut in New York for CMJ 2012 as an official artist -- playing a handful of showcases including The Deli Mag, Audio Perv and a handful of other buzz-worthy CMJ bills. Shortly after, Entertainment Weekly went on to name Kiven as the #2 "Great Indie Discovery" from CMJ 2012.Debut full-length out Spring 2013!http://www.kivenmusic.com/CREDITS / SPONSORS Producer / Talent Booker: Cindi AvnetCinematographer: Colton DearingRecorded & Mixed By: Jeff BatesAssistant Audio Engineer: Anabel CorreaCo-Producer/ Talent...

Their songs have been used in countless television shows and commercials, most notably in TNT's Emmy Award winning 2011 Christmas Day NBA Forever spot, which paired the song Live Forever with a mesmerizing montage of past and present NBA video footage.The hard work has paid off with the band's sixth album Good Light showcasing Drew's signature brand of singer/songwriter Americana in its finest form yet. Recorded live at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Good Light arrives shortly following Drew's 30th birthday and the birth of his first child, daughter Emmylou (named for -- you guessed it -- Emmylou Harris), with wife and band-mate Ellie...
