INDIE ROCKER JONAS PARK EXCITEDLY RELEASESA SONG INSPIRED BY DARKER TIMES

AFTER spending almost two years writing, saving up funds, and working in the studio,
singer/songwriter Jonas Park releases the first single ’Shaky’, from his upcoming
sophomore EP album.
Jonas Park is a 23 year-old NY native who currently resides in Southside, Brooklyn
where he’s been hustling to make a name for himself in the music industry. And like any
artist living in a large city, burnout is a reality he faced regularly.
After a period of struggling to maintain his momentum and composure, he found some
respite in sitting down at his keyboard and crafting a melody to the lines “I go looking
everyday…For something to take my breath away” This was the beginning of ‘Shaky’.
Several draft revisions later, he took it into the studio where it soon became obvious to
him that this would be a standout on the EP. “It started off as just a simple piano bed
and scratch vocal, but once the drums and bass were recorded, I was sort of blown
away with how quickly it felt like it was coming together.” Park says. “Listening to it now,
it’s a really sharp and visceral perspective on how I feel and think when I’m in those
dark places—so I guess that means it’s a good tune” he jokes.
Even though the song lives in a particular place, Jonas’ music is far from singular in
tone. “I’m really excited to surprise people! Even though each song on this project fits
together narratively, they all sound so different from each other. So no matter what
genre people may prefer, I feel like there will be something for everyone to empathize
with and enjoy.”

Michel Neray’s “Don’t Look Behind” sees the singer-songwriter following his dreams

“When you have the time you don’t have the money, and when you have the money, you don’t have the time” – these are the words singer-songwriter Michel Neray spoke aloud to no one in particular while he was walking three dogs on Eglinton Ave in Toronto. 

His motivational speaking and consulting business tanked during the pandemic, and he had started walking dogs for his wife’s business when he got the call that he had landed his biggest consulting contract. To add to that, he had just started to get somewhere with his songwriting. Now, how to juggle all those responsibilities?

That’s the premise of his song, “Don’t Look Behind.” His songwriting takes listeners on a journey, making decisions to follow your heart without regrets.
