HOW CREATOR'S CLUB EMERGED
Music that fills your soul and gets you moving, that’s the one thing that most people are a fan of and LaÜni delivers it with her latest single “Move Your Body.” A catchy and upbeat blend of R&B and Reggaeton, “Move Your Body” marks the beginning of LaÜni’s transition to Latin music. The Singer and Songwriter from Orlando, FL has been making music professionally for a few years now.
Being known for mixing genre’s, she hopes to create a splash in the Latin scene now that’s she’s homed in on her original sound. The song itself is all about living life with the person you want, while also setting your standards and making your boundaries clear. When asked about the intention behind “Move Your Body,” LaÜni said “I wanted to release something that is more upbeat so people can dance to it and have a good time.”
The listeners here at I.S.T.A. would all agree that she has accomplished her goal. The language variation throughout the song is highlighted by the excellent production of The Craftzman. The mastering was completed by Chris Longwood, who’s had experience working with Tyga and Tim McGraw. With the quality of music that she has released so far, and stunning music video for her last single “L2M (Lie To Me),” we have high hopes for LaÜni as she continues to push the boundaries in her music.

Born in the Motor City and made in the Glass City, Knightheart has spent the past 7 years honing in on his sound and what he wants his image to be. As a youth battling chronic homelessness and physical health issues, Knightheart found solace in music, discovering it through deep exploration of self during difficult times. Music provided the power during a period of time where he felt powerless. This power shows itself in his latest full-length project “Catch 22.” Knightheart has been building his career by traveling the Midwest and touring with national artists. This being his second album, the Toledo-based artist has been focusing on shifting the status quo and culture.
“Catch 22” is an alternative rock project with a splash of Trap described as a “coming of age” experience. With key tracks like “Wannabe,” “They Always Say,” and “Fight or Flight,” there is something special for anyone who listens.
Knightheart explains the intentions of this album as him wanting to create a body of work that was more transparent and rawer than his previous projects. “I explored different frequencies of sounds so that I could approach my songwriting and vocal delivery in ways that enabled growth.”
With the goal of combining all that he has learned throughout his journey and magnifying it, Knightheart manifested “Catch 22” and developed it as a window to his soul. The artist delivers on his objective of providing a deep esoteric feeling for people through his art.
The album itself wasn’t meant to exist initially. Knightheart shared “I feel like it was an apple that dropped on my head or something. It was a gift to me, so I want to use it to continue giving.”
Knightheart felt inspired to follow a different sound creatively, not realizing that it would become a full project. After recording 40+ songs that fit the style he was going for, Knightheart eventually trimmed it all down to the final track list. The care he took into selecting the appropriate songs came from the desire to properly and respectfully offer this album to the community and culture. In regards to community, Knightheart recently hosted a Catch 22 Album Release Show in Toledo. The show itself served to not only promote the album, but to also support the Beach House Family Shelter charity with proceeds being donated to said charity.
It seems that all is going well with Knightheart’s path to stardom as his goals are righteous ones. With not only his music, but the MVNIFVST brand to guide, Knightheart is ready to share his message with the world.

It’s night time, and we find Porter Gannon singing in front of a 24-hour diner with the streetlights and storefront lights highlighting the somber feeling provided by his latest single “Night Watch.” With it’s release in August, Porter has garnered the attention of his fans who have all grown to love his film style, along with the authenticity of his music. The smooth guitar backdrop ties in with the melody portrayed in his vocals to express the feelings inside Porter Gannon’s heart. It’s different, genuine, and very much his own.
When talking about the project, Porter wanted the public to fulfill their artistic vision rather than conforming to what people tell you is correct, cool, or current. His emphasis on uniqueness is not only heard in his words but also in his sound.
A musician and filmmaker from San Diego, CA, Porter Gannon understands that the balance between film work and music can be difficult to master. When asked about any barriers that needed to be overcome, Porter told us “When producing your own film projects there is a lot to take into account. For the creative process, it comes to scenery, wardrobe, shot list, and any editing and vfx. On the technical side, it would be getting a crew, location, permission, and the actual performance which is more difficult to manage.” Although there were clear bumps on the road, Porter Gannon persevered as he has done with all of his projects.
He does an excellent job of implementing the right look and feel to his videos. As his love of neon and nighttime vibes are evident in “Night Watch,” Porter also finds his signature style lies within the way films in the 80’s and 90’s were done. Overall, Porter Gannon has
taken another step in his music career. Mixing his authentic sound with his talent behind the camera, Porter Gannon is expected to shine even brighter.
