DJ Come of Age Hidden Souls 2 Slow B Productions Sweden
The plight of the independent musician has been well documented. Faced with a driving passion to present his craft, stymied by lack of funding and ample resources, many never reach the coveted pinnacle of acclaimed recognition. Dreams deferred, these artisans are left in self doubt and devoid of fulfillment. In a most unorthodox fashion, one man has singlehandedly given the "Unheralded" center stage. DJ Come of Age is a pioneer,a phenom whose vision became a concept all its own. In simple terms, find music which is beautiful and promote it as one. Without boundaries and strained classification he allies himself with stellar, soulful artists from the world over. As a collective of musicians, producers, DJs, poets, and models, the promotion of their works is shared by all.
"Our love for the music is impetus enough. It's something we live and breathe. In the same way we collect and cherish, we long to share and be heard. The energy once used to "compete" with others is now used to constructively establish ourselves. It's much easier and beneficial to uplift one another than waste time being negative and vain. The key for us was to target outlets willing to give us an ear. The foundation was already established with each respective fan base so it was easy to grow from there."
DJ Come of Age allied himself with Slow B Productions in Sweden. The standout label is renown for its sophisticated yet soulful repertoire. Boasting the talents of labelmates Hengi, Meldeah, Slowmo, and others, Slow B is now a cogent force in soul music. Markus Ekholm is not only the founder of Slow B Productions, he is the designer behind the eye catching cover art for all of DJ COA's projects.
"I can't say enough about Mac (Markus Ekholm) and Slow B Productions. From the first meeting it was evident that our aim, vision, and efforts were in tune with one another. We expressed mutual respect for everyone's respective talents and it is on that principle we continue to build. The reward is the love our fans have for our music . It's gratification unmeasured and very meaningful. Egos aside, there is free reign to produce and share our music with everyone."
The revelation of thought and a simple approach to marketing has propelled a singular vision into a grandiose concept. One may ask ,"Who exactly is DJ Come of Age " Is he a person or is the moniker a front for a global revival in how we seek and find the soul in music Either way, consider this a warm introduction to soul music deserving of a first and second listen.
