Being able to escape reality and transport yourself to different realms and worlds through sound is definitely one of the best things about music. Whether you are just looking to boost your mood, clear your mind or just vibe out in your current space, there is a multitude of incredible tracks that allow you to do just this. Today’s premiere will provide the perfect atmosphere for any of these things as up and coming bass wizard Frequency Bender brings forth his latest EP entitled Metamorphosis. With each track serving to mimic the different feelings and sound of an insect’s growth and metamorphosis, our premiere today, “Chrysalis”, envokes the sound of a caterpillar changing itself into a butterfly with its bouncy synths and exciting switch ups. This track definitely has the perfect vibe for any occasion and we will definitely be playing this one on repeat for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Chrysalis” and the rest of the Metamorphosis EP, a certified bop.
“The ‘Metamorphosis’ EP represents the drastic changes that I’ve experienced in my life within the past year. Just like a chrysalis, lots of growth can happen when we fully surrender to the process and trust the universe. My goal with this EP is to inspire others to continue living their dreams and to be grateful for the growth we get to have in this experience as a human being.”
Diving Deep w/ Frequency Bender
1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
Music is something I’ve always felt passionate towards, but I didn’t know it was something I could make a career out of until recently. My love of musical arts started as a child when I began to participate in school choirs and musicals. I continued to pursue singing all throughout high school, and was a part of my school’s jazz choir until I graduated. I first downloaded Ableton (a music production software) when I was a Junior in high school, but before I was able to find my flow with the program, someone had stolen my laptop. I later rediscovered my love for music production when I was a
sophomore in college, and I’ve been passionate about this art eversince then.
2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?
The biggest struggle of my career so far has been to stay motivated and driven to continue my art even though I’m not able to fully financially support myself through my music. Living the life of a ‘starving artist’ has been extremely humbling and makes me grateful for the support of my family, friends, and community. I know that with enough dedication and hard work that things will all come together. If I continue to know my worth and stay true to my vision, I’m sure that I’ll find success within the music industry.
3. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?
I feel like my everyday life is extremely music driven. I’m lucky to have a day job that is very flexible with its hours so I can prioritize being in the studio. Although music motivates most things that I do, focusing on my mental health has been my number one priority. I strive to find a good balance between working on music and experiencing other aspects of life. I gather a lot of my inspiration from spending time in nature, hanging out with friends, and dancing to live music. These activities are what fuel me to get back in the studio and continue to work on the art that I love.
4. What’s one cool fact about yourself/or your project that not many fans know about?
The name Frequency Bender was inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. I started watching the show as a child and I’ve always resonated with the positive messages and lessons within the story. I want to pay my tribute to the series, so I’m currently working on an ‘Elements’ EP that features a song for each of the four elements. This project has brought me a lot of joy, and I’m looking forward to sharing my musical creations with the world!
