A Bonus Dré’s Dispatch 003 feat KindKeith

This following episode is a Bonus episode of Dré’s Dispatch that was recorded several months ago and Daniel forget to upload it. In this Dispatch we chat with songwriter and keyboardist KindKeith (they/them). We learn about KindKeith’s creative process, inspirations and aspirations for their musical career.  KindKeith studied jazz at UT where they met other talented musicians during the pandemic. Those connections helped give form to KindKeith’s most recent musical group Mockjaw.  KindKeith’s music, influenced by jazz and RnB, explores their emotions throughout different life experiences. For instance, the hardships they faced during jazz school, finding community as a Black Queer person, and the bliss of being in a better place towards the end of the pandemic.

Dré’s Dispatch 002 feat Cloud Companion

This is Dré’s Dispatch with Cloud Companion where we chat with Aaron Chávez (he/they) to discuss the themes and inspirations for the project.  Chavèz is a local artist in the Austin TX music scene and front person for Cloud Companion, a contemplative bedroom pop group. Chavèz takes inspiration from his sunroom where he enjoys the natural environment and contemplates ideas of ego, interconnection, and the everyday presence of being.  Cloud Companion’s live performance style is lighthearted and enjoys experimenting with more immersive and interactive elements that suit the naturalistic themes of its music.  Chavèz is also a member of TC superstar, Flyer Club and cofounder of Flyer Club Records alongside a friend, Connor McCambell. We hope you enjoy listening to this podcast and find your way to one of these shows soon!
