Steampunk composer and pianist Olga S Popova dropped the first installment of her much-anticipated musical, “Wayne’s Gun Part 1: 1924,” just last week on March 14, 2025. I’ve had the chance to listen through the seven-track album several times now – it clocks in at a tight 21 minutes and serves as our first real introduction to her genre-bending theatrical production that mashes up steampunk aesthetics, sci-fi elements, and historical drama in a surprisingly cohesive way. What really stands out about this project is its truly global reach – Popova somehow managed to wrangle over 150 artists from more than…

With a bold look and an even bolder sound, Vera Luxe is breaking the mold of modern rock.

As music production continues to evolve, bridging the gap between raw artistic vision and polished final recordings has become increasingly complex. While some might think selecting an engineer is as simple as picking someone with a decent portfolio, the reality demands a deeper understanding. “The engineer is often the unsung hero of great recordings,” says Marcus Wells, a veteran producer who’s spent the better part of two decades working with major artists in Los Angeles. “They’re responsible…

With two self-released EPs under her belt and a rapidly growing following across streaming platforms, Ashley Parham has become one of the city’s most intriguing independent artists.
