Trey Connor is a 22-year-old modern Indie artist with roots in rock music. Leading his former band of young teens (Bulletproof Snow) to the Detroit Music Awards, People’s Choice Award in 2015, Trey was also invited to Universal Studios LA for casting finals week for Season 10 of “The Voice”. One of the final 100 artists selected from 46,000 auditions, Trey did not appear on the show because the teams filled up before he had his opportunity to deliver his “BLIND AUDITION” for the celebrity coaches.

Connor’s previous releases as a solo artist include his debut single “Hold On” (Nov. 2016) related EP, “While Everything Is Now” (Dec. 2016), and sophomore single, “Fear” (Oct. 2019).

Pop Music Artist DAYVID Releases First Music Video from Debut EP “Dayvid”

 21-year-old singer and songwriter DAYVID, released the music video for “Wasted Luv,” the first offering from his just released debut EP, “Dayvid”.

Since its release in late September, “Wasted Luv,” has been praised by critics and listeners around the world, with the song playing on Top 40 radio in major markets across the United States.

“Wasted Luv,” is produced by Grammy-Nominated Morgan Taylor Reid (Marshmello, Christina Perri, Jack & Jack, CHROMEO), and is co-written by DAYVID and Reid. The single was mixed by DJ Swivel and mastered by Chris Gehringer from Sterling Sound (Edgewater, NJ).  The single and EP are available on all streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music https://dayvid.lnk.to/dayvidep

The video for “Wasted Luv” is directed by Connor Evert, one of the music industry’s most sought after video directors. “DAYVID and I wanted a timeless video for ‘Wasted Luv’. We wanted a classic video with a modern touch.  So we chose to build it around interpretive dancing to illustrate the love interest and the despair. Since it was the first video from his EP, we wanted to highlight DAYVID and bring the intensity of the song to life through movement, colors and editing. We enhanced the intensity with a dramatic ending using rain and lighting,” says Evert. 

“The song expresses my experiences in which you get to know someone well and develop a deep relationship, then something goes wrong and you want to forget everything about them. It is a painful experience which causes caution – sometimes too much caution,” says DAYVID.  “I wanted the video to convey those emotions as well, which Conner did so effectively.” 

The video is available on YouTube: https://dayvid.lnk.to/wlmv

At 16, he began commuting to Los Angeles to find a path into the music industry and soon found success writing music for artists including Fedde le Grand and Navarra. At 18, DAYVID moved to Los Angeles to pursue a full-time music career. Wanting to remain independent, he assembled his own music team of collaborators, and released his debut single “Sure of Me” in Fall 2018.

DAYVID’s music is inspired by many artists including Prince, George Michael, and Peter Gabriel from the 80’s and current artists Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, and Taylor Swift.

I co-write all of own my songs, and am deeply involved in the entire process including production, mixing/mastering, and the creation of visuals to keep everything cohesive with my overall vision,” says DAYVID.  “Much of the inspiration for my music and aesthetic actually comes from 80’s classic films like ‘Breakfast Club,’ ‘Say Anything,’ and ‘Sixteen Candles.’ For me, it’s all about creating music that speaks for me, and hopefully gives a voice to others.”

Future astronaut, space diplomat, pioneering polar explorer and artist, Monaco based, Namira Salim, will be releasing her first single “Follow Me To The Moon” on October 25, 2019. 

Namira is widely known as the first future South Asian Space Tourist and is the only Pakistani member and Founder Astronaut of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial space liner. As Namira prepares for her sub-orbital flight next year as “Astronaut in transition” and soon to be fitted with the World’s First Exclusive Spacewear System for Private Astronauts, unveiled by Richard Branson last week – Namira is tapping into another inborn talent with “Follow Me To The Moon” to honor the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 in a NewSpace Age and to honor the work of space industry colleagues in returning mankind to the moon and beyond.

“Follow Me to the Moon” was launched in partnership with the International Astronautical Federation and Space Trust, a non-profit and non-partisan organization founded by Namira, which advocates Space as the New Frontier for Peace on Earth.  Space Trust will benefit from part of the proceeds of the song. 

“Space makes up my DNA. As a child growing up in Pakistan, I was first introduced to the stars by my late father when he navigated me through the constellations of the Northern Sky, and pointed out the Pole Star. Since then, the beauty and majesty of the stars have inspired me to break orbits,” said Namira. “’Follow Me To The Moon’” is a tribute to my beloved father who carved me into the empowered woman I am today, and who inspired me to reach for the stars”, adds the future astronaut.  

“Follow Me To The Moon” was written by Namira Salim, with music by Atif Ali and composition by Namira Salim and Atif Ali. The single was mixed, recorded and mastered at Playback Lounge in Dubai. The music video for “Follow Me To The Moon” was edited at Digitally Studio in Dubai.

Pop Music’s Newest Sensation DAYVID Releases Highly Anticipated Debut EP “Dayvid”

DAYVID’s highly-anticipated debut EP, “Dayvid” will be released on Friday, October 11.

The first single Wasted Luv was released last month and has been greeted enthusiastically by critics and listeners around the world. Upon its release, the single became #4 on the latest music on All Access Music Top 40/Mainstream Cool New Music Chart. It is currently enjoying Top 40 radio play in major markets across the US.

The EP is executive produced by Grammy-nominated Morgan Taylor Reid

(Marshmello, Christina Perri, Jack & Jack, CHROMEO). 

The first single from the EP, Wasted Luv inspired a burst of creativity that completed the vision for the EP “Dayvid”. The single integrates ‘80’s musical elements into a modern sound with a four on the floor drum beat and a strong hooky vocal. The vision is expanded on the six-track EP. Keep It Together also integrates 80’s elements to create a big synth ballad with a hint of electric guitar and a punchy bass line reminiscent of Depeche Mode and Robyn. DAYVID takes a different approach with DRNK TXTS, a down-tempo House/Trap journey with rumbling 808’s and tight production using unique vocal effects, especially in the rap section leading into a vocoder hook for some extra ear candy. Got My Sunglasses On is an up-tempo 3-minute party. Claps and hand percussion mixed with a vocal heavy chorus with funk guitars and synths galore creates an uplifting mood. Love Like You was written a year before the others. It is a slow moving and thoughtful production that represents an earlier phase in DAYVID’s personal life and artistic growth. It is wide open with lots of space for the vocals to build into a heavy halftime chorus reminiscent of an early, angsty M83. Same Old Feeling was the last song written. It will make you reflect on an old love that was like no other. The production is simple with piano, vocals, and an 8-member gospel choir providing backgrounds. The lyrics and vocal performance make this song meaningful and powerful. All elements support the soaring voice that grabs you at the very first line.

“This EP reveals who I am as a person and an artist. That’s why I thought it appropriate to name it ‘Dayvid’,” says the singer and songwriter who began writing for other artists such as Fedde Le Grand and Navarra while in his teens.

DAYVID co-wrote all six songs on his debut EP. DAYVID’s co-writers are long-time friends and collaborators BADDLUCK, Michael Poleman, Zac Poor, Morgan Taylor Reid, Ameerah Roelants, Zac White, and Matt Wiggers.

“Dayvid” is mixed by Eric J Dubowsky a Grammy and ARIA award-winning mixer; Grammy award-winning mixer DJ Swivel; and renowned mixer Mitch McCarthy (Bebe Rexha, Meghan Trainor, Carly Rae Jepsen) from Sterling Sound (Edgewater, NJ). “Dayvid” is mastered by Randy Merrill & Chris Gehringer. “Dayvid” is released by DAYVID Music with AWAL being the global distributor.

This First-Generation Classic Ford Bronco Has Been Transformed Into a Premium Classic Electric Vehicle

Hawthorne, Calif. – Zero Labs Automotive, made headlines in April by being the first to transform a first-generation (1966-77) Ford Bronco into a premium classic electric vehicle.  Today they offer a detailed view of their second vehicle proof, which was modified in their new headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif. The newly modified vehicle was created to prove quality, consistency and production readiness.  

Each vehicle was handcrafted with the same aerospace-grade carbon fiber components, Eames-inspired walnut consoles, a full digital display, and more than 1,000 other newly designed parts that marry classic design and modern quality standards. These vehicles are low maintenance and environment-friendly with superior luxury and refinement. They are available for pre-order.   To retain the off-road appeal of the world’s most collectible 4×4, the Zero Labs premium classic electric vehicles feature an Atlas 2 (2-speed) transfer case, Currie front, and rear differentials and adjustable FOX coil-over suspension complete with Brembo 6 piston caliper brakes. Electric performance includes digital telematics, custom all-digital gauges, VCU and CAN Network, 70 kWh battery, 190-mile range, and 440HP permanent magnet AC motor with 375 Nm/277 ft-lbs. motor torque.  

Adam Roe, CEO and Founder of Zero Labs Automotive, sold his successful agency in 2015 and put together a dedicated team of advanced race vehicle engineers, electrical engineers, vehicle prototype manufacturers, composite engineers, aerospace fabricators and premium classic car manufacturers to focus on one problem: committing to clean energy while not abandoning the past. Zero Labs first introduced the new vehicle category in April 2019 and received global interest from consumers and investors.  

“Within days, Zero Labs received thousands of pre-orders and strong investor interest worldwide, and the prominent question was whether we could make more, and make them consistently,” said Roe.

“Our second modified vehicle is proof we can and further demonstrates our commitment to design, innovation, and quality, which are reflected in the location of our new research and development facility in Hawthorne. We are inspired to be neighbors with some of the world leaders in aerospace and automotive engineering.”   

To focus on quality, only a limited number of these first edition premium classic electric vehicles can be produced at a time, and additional models will be announced every year. “Our vehicles are special with high sentimental value to the driver. To create the new category of premium classic electric, we had to make them the best that can be. OEM’s can achieve lower prices and high volume by building giant robot factory’s backed by Billions in public funding. Many of our customers already have an EV as a daily driver, so do we, but incomparable for any handcrafted vehicle,” said Roe.   

There are a limited number of original vehicles in the world. “We are also collectors, so when we encounter the rare unmodified original vehicles vehicle that still works, we consider it sacred and often purchase it to protect the original state. We ideally hope to find with the neglected or abandoned rebuilds that have not seen the road in 15-20 years and give them a new life,” said Roe.    

Zero Labs has been meeting with select collectors, partners and investors to prepare for next year’s full production in the Hawthorne, California facility. Initial costs are estimated to be at the upper end of the current classic Ford Bronco market of $275k – $325k+, depending on customization and customer requests. Deliveries are expected to begin in late 2020.   

“Supporting a clean energy future does not have to come at the expense of our personal history,” said Roe. “We have dedicated ourselves to providing car lovers with both the spirit of the past as part of a clean energy future and at today’s standards. Perhaps second to our taste in music, classic vehicles best represent how we keep our past alive; it should be experienced and not forgotten in a collection. We have now generated two meaningful vehicles so unique that one look is all it takes to change forever the way we separate the relationship between our past and the future.”

Bina Fink Kohl: A driving force that is unstoppable

It’s easy to recognize who Bina Fink Kohl is, in the middle of a crowd.  

A woman with a drive and an energy that is spread wherever she goes, in every event she attends. From music to political events, you can see everyone greeting her as if she were family and that is no coincidence.  

Bina, born in Guatemala, is the proud mother of three boys and a girl, she is also that person that will do anything to make you feel welcomed and cared for. Never in a thousand years would you imagine that many years ago, Bina had to fight with her whole soul against an appointed parent coordinator that was bias in the case that could have separated her from her children.

In a moment of despair she found the strength of a whole army, when inside she was starting to feel defeated, but she soared.  

What we know is that Bina Fink Kohl is the perfect example of what it is to inspire and help other women in similar situations to believe in and value themselves to succeed in life, when all seems to be going wrong. She is the one that reminds all women she helps, that there is always a light, that faith that things can change, and succeed, no matter how hard the past might have been.  

Bina reinvented herself, she did not let fear take over her. For her nothing is impossible. This it’s a fact of why we would call her a “superwoman”.    From celebrities, to politicians, all know Bina. She currently is one of the most sought for PR, for both entertainment and politics.
