Millennials remember the satisfying karmic story of Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8r Boi.” However, rising artist Haiden Henderson is actually living out those pop-punk dreams with his new single “bleachers.”

After breaking things off with an unsupportive ex, the aerospace engineer turned singer-songwriter found fuel in the heartache to begin his meteoric rise.

Three years and millions of streams in, Haiden is playing sold-out headlining shows and is “blowing out your speakers” one pop hit at a time.

On our latest podcast, we sat down with Haiden Henderson to chat “bleachers,” performing live, and how he’s having a “hell of a good time” with it all.

When does imitation go from flattery to a case of identity theft? Nashville-based pop singer-songwriter Leah Mason is answering that question with her new single “Klepto.”

A follow up to “YOUR BOYFRIEND SUCKS,” this edgy pop anthem calls out a friend who took a little more than “inspiration” from Mason. “She would subtly ask me about where my clothes were from, and the next week she’d show up in the same thing I had been wearing,” Mason says.

However, this “friend” earned the title of Klepto when, “she eventually started messing around with the people in my life, like talking to guys she knew I liked and inviting my friends to hang out without me. It was like she wanted my life.”

From heartbreak to love and everything-in-between, Mason is capturing “that life” with honesty, relatability, and bite.

On the latest episode of ECHO the podcast, we sat down with the storyteller to chat about the single, her transition from country to pop, and recording her upcoming album in Sweden.

American Idol is back on air for its 22nd season. As sad as we are to see Katy Perry leave after this season, the talent we have seen makes this season seem promising! One of those talented contestants is a former NFL player, Blake Proehl. Proehl was a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings but had to pull out due to an injury. Proehl used music as his beacon for recovering and getting into a mentally stable spot.

Rising alt-pop artist Chloe Star has found her happy place. However, the journey to uncover it was a process. 

Throughout Chloe’s life, journaling has been her solace. After being blindsided by a painful break-up, she began to process her thoughts through the only way she knew how, poetry and music. 

At first, she only set out to write “Fool,” which details the breakdown of the relationship. However, as she began to heal, she continued to write and defiantly emerged from the ashes of heartbreak with “Found My Peace.” 

Now, Chloe has rounded out the unexpected confessional trilogy with the empowering “Happy Place,” which realizes the freedom in healing. 

We chatted with the rockstar about finding clarity, creating community, and more!
