Posted by VMan on May 15, 2020
Sam Doll is a Toronto based artist with a knack for songwriting and melodies. This time around in her latest offering “Bad Like Me” Sam creates her own audio world and divulges her inner turmoils. We are astounded by her range and dynamics which really give the whole record a lot of uniqueness. More on the song via Sam Doll: “I’m a writer, and I realized that writing is what I’m best at and meant to do, but often times you write alone. And I like having a lot of people around all the time. So with music, I get to write something, and then bring it to my producer, go to the studio, do a show, etc – it’s much more social.”

Chill, Interviews | Trove Shares About Tastes, Dreams, And The Year So Far[Exclusive]
Posted by VMan on June 20, 2019
Trove has experience some riveting moments in his young career, with over 20 million streams to his name already and a heavy reputation in the songwriting community as a guy who’s got “It.” Singles like “Revelry” and “GTFO” put Trove’s color’s on full display for all to judge. Needless to say, his sound and collaboration partners always impress as the soloist continues to add new fans to his base.
Trove took the time out to chat with us about life, end of the year, and much more. Check out the interview in full below:
What EDM music school stands out to you the most?
Trove: I have some friends that have attended Icon Collective in LA and have spoken really highly of the education and training there
For young producers out there, when would you say is the right time to quit the day job?
Trove:I tend to jump the gun on this kind of thing. It definitely wasn’t the right time for me but it drove me to really try and make it work. I would recommend honing your sound and skill until you feel like the music you’re making is creating enough opportunity to keep you busy and learning throughout the week. Save up some money in the bank so you’re a little supported and go hard full time to make it work.
Who would be your dream collaborator?
Trove:Would love to work with Rufus Du Sol or Flume.
How do you do get the creative process flowing?
Trove:Usually I’ll scroll through sample packs or presets until I find something that pricks my ear and then I’ll play some chords I like. Once I have something I can built off, I completely change and tweak the sound so it sounds unique to me. Lyrically, I’m always scribbling notes and often times they’re terrible ideas but sometimes you get a good one to build off of too.
What music platforms or general music apps do you find most relevant right now?
Trove:Spotify and Apple Music I think are at the forefront while platforms like YouTube music and TikTok are on the come up. Being able to see your stats and influence throughout different regions as an artist is a big win!
What are you most excited about this year?
Trove:All the traveling I’ve done and continue to do! I’ve visited 7 countries this year already and will be doing 3-4 more this year for songwriting.

CID. Unreal producer and DJ. CeeLo Green. Unreal artist and vocalist. They combine forces to deliver an absolute smasher called “Believer” that will have you moving 5 seconds into pressing that play button. CeeLo Green doesn’t always do EDM, but when he does, he does it with CID music. Of the new single, CID said:
“We are living in a time where so many bad things are happening around the world and it’s heartbreaking and discouraging. Despite that I think it’s still important to believe in the power of music. Music can be uplifting even on the darkest days. So especially now, I wanted to release a song that could give people hope and inspire peace and unity.” – CID
