ON THE RISE
CAMPINAS, Brazil - A Brazilian electronic artist with an incredible sound and exciting energy, Illusionize is taking the world by storm. The DJ has previously released brilliant tracks such as “Go Low” and the “The Groov” and now has reworked the already popular single “Bass” for worldwide release.

This track, like many of his others, give insight to who he is as a creator and what he has to share with the world.
“‘Bass’ is a milestone in my life and career,” he said. “It was just about time to honor this song that has provided me with so many good things, now with a style closer to what I've been playing in my shows.”
Upon its original release, “Bass” quickly became a high grossing track among the Brazilian market. “I’m very proud about the history of this song,” Illusionize said about the project. “It holds a special relevance to me and to a lot of people around me.” You can learn more about Illusionize, “Bass” and their shared history in his documentary Born to Bass, which can be found on his YouTube Channel.
This song and the story behind it are all about believing in yourself and the power you possess. “You can and will be anything you want, it only depends on you,” he said, describing the feelings he wants “Bass” to bring to people.
Along with the release of “Bass” (Rework), Illusionize has also been looking forward to the upcoming showcase of his own record company, Elevation, at which he is an A&R.

American rapper, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur, Jewel Bell—otherwise known as Influence—gifts listeners an energetic single called “What You Deserve.” Packed with thought-provoking lyrics and an unforgettable beat, the single comes just in time for summer
When Jewel Bell was born, his destiny was set in front of him. A miracle baby born to a mother who had been paralyzed for seven years, the young Influence knew from an early age he was meant to succeed and continue to pave his family’s legacy. “It’s my turn to put my feet in the sand and make my print,” adds Influence. “I’m excited to be on this journey. I’m glad. I’m ready. My music is worthy. I’m looking forward to shining my light in the world. I have a story and a testimony.”
Influence is no stranger to the game—he’s been putting out music since pre-social media days, selling CDs out of his trunk. His influences include hip-hop icons like Tupac, Biggie, Nasa, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg, as well as R&B legends including Ginuwine, Dru Hill, and Boyz II Men. Influence says, “R&B sparked my mind, but hip hop ignited my soul and became the driving force that drove me into the studio.”
The rapper is also a natural performer. Influence has won several events, including the Uplifting Minds National Talent Competition, and became a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, The Best In The West Hip Hop Competition, LA’s Next Up Music Showcase, The Showcase Tour, and The Coast To Coast Live Music Showcase.
His latest single, “What You Deserve,” is inspired by “ingenuity and creativity” according to the rapper. While listening to beats, Influence found the one that would soon become his single. “Basically, when I heard the island beat, I thought, ‘Oh that’s crazy!’’ I had to do my homework. At first, I didn’t know that part of the beat is an Ace of Base sample. Just by name, I didn’t realize I know all of these songs. It was a really cosmic moment for me that made it doper to be a part of the project and have their sample be a part of my project.”
The combination of the beat and sampling made the songwriting process flow easily for Influence. “Once I heard what they put together, it wasn’t too hard to put my sauce on it,” adds the rapper. “I go through a phrase where I like to immerse myself in the music. Once I get into it, I don’t come out until I have what I feel is the perfect sound or verse.” It only took the rapper about a week to finish the song, carefully writing each verse until it met his approval.
Since its release, the song has garnered positive reviews and feedback. “Everybody loves it so far,” shares Influence. “I don’t expect that to change. I’m not trying to please everyone—I make music driven by my emotions and creativity, but I make sure I pick dope beats, so it sounds good.”
Good things are on the horizon for Influence, starting with the premier of Rap League. This summer, Influence is looking forward to sharing his music through a recent placement in an upcoming movie. He’ll also be taking part in a TV show set to air this summer.
