By Tiffany Gaines

Fender Audio's Riff: The Ultimate Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Guitar Amp Hybrid with Unmatched Features and Sound Quality

I had the pleasure of attending the National Association of Music Merchants Show (NAMM) in Anaheim, California, from April 13-15, 2023. Among the exhibitors, Fender Audio stood out with their latest innovation, The Riff, a portable Bluetooth speaker that doubles as a guitar amp. During my exclusive interview with the brand manager, Michael Fiore, he shared their excitement about accomplishing the goal of creating a Bluetooth speaker that had as much “Fender DNA” in it as possible.

The Riff is a compact portable Bluetooth speaker and practice amp in one, with a host of useful features for musicians. It is a 60-watt, Class-D amp that has four speakers and two bass woofers. The unit has USB-C charging and a lithium-ion battery with up to 30 hours of battery life. The Riff app adds an alternative control for the EQ and volume, allowing users to adjust the guitar/music mix to taste, perfect for practice and jamming with.

What sets The Riff apart from other portable Bluetooth speakers is its attention to detail and passion for creating a product that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The genuine maple interface allows you to adjust the Riff's volume and EQ by simply sliding your fingers like you're shredding on a real fretboard. The Fender team paid attention to every fine detail, ensuring that the grill had little guitar picks inside, and the top emulated the guitar neck with fret markers. The bumps in the grill were even designed to emulate guitar strings

The Riff is a must-have for anyone who loves music and wants to take it with them wherever they go. With its unique design, powerful sound, and attention to detail, it’s sure to be a hit among music lovers and guitar players alike. The Riff is not just a speaker; it's a work of art. The attention to detail and the passion that went into creating this product is evident in every aspect of its design. Ultimately, it’s a great addition to Fender's home audio and guitar amp lineups, and we can't wait to see what Fender Audio comes up with next.

The “Miss America” collection includes the original Dance version and a bonus R&B Remix included with both instrumentals and A-capella vocals available for DJ’s interested in remixing their own rendition.

Doc Marky T is a former teacher, coach, and Rideshare driver that established numerous unofficial Rideshare world records in 2019 – coincidentally the year COVID relief programs would be calculated upon. After receiving nearly half a million dollars in COVID relief between 2020 and 2021, he purchased music studio equipment to reignite a dream of writing a Billboard hit record. After writing a song “Miss America” about a former Miss America but failing to get a response from her, he decided to take his first-ever music production course to professionalize his songwriting. During the course, he wrote the instrumental to “Feelings” while looking at pictures of Miss America for inspiration in the hopes of impressing her. The music was originally composed for a different vocalist and lyrics as part of the course, but he later recruited Myah Marie from an online music source to write and sing new vocals to the instrumental as a break-up song.

When did you start music?

I started writing my own music officially in 2006 but never really got in the studio until 2009 so it's definitely been a journey getting here

 I wanted to be a rapper so bad! I grew up on a lot of 106 & Park and Rap city in the basement. So I memorized my first ever verse by Ludacris. I remember the exact song til this day “Made you look remix” but I coined it as my own and went around the schools telling people I could rap until I got caught biting someone else's lyrics. I was so ashamed that i started writing my own lyrics shortly after and that's when my brother “Rich” recognized my talent and told me keep going and i did just that

What was the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?

The journey more so, you have to believe in yourself more than anyone and be willing to do what it takes to get yourself in certain rooms. It's gonna be a lot of empty promises, a lot of fake help, and late support. You have to have tunnel vision in this game.

 Are you currently signed or independent?

Independent, I recently joined forces with Unified a subsidiary of Sony The Orchard on a major distribution deal for my label “The Bureau”

 Who inspires you the most musically?

First choice of this generation has to be Drake, from the melodies the bounce and the ability to be relatable i got to the rock with him i mean he’s even underrated as a lyricist in the game in my opinion

 What do you want people to take away after listening to your music?

After listening to me I want people to take a piece of me with them. I want people to realize what goes through my mind whether that be the playful and energetic side or my serious side. I just like to give people me and let them take what they want from it. After all music is art and art is perspective so all in a nutshell i want people to take away the essence of the man from the music

 Any new music coming out soon?

June 3rd,  we will be unveiling my first single of the year “I Can’t Save Her”

 What is your greatest achievement as a musician?

The ability to move to a new state, build a fanbase, get radio placement, and open up for Kevin Gates has to be in the top tier for now

Do you produce your own music? If not, who do you work with? 

Still shopping around for my very own in house producer but i've been working with various producers from the likes of Saint Cardona, AyoZch, Quizz, and many more

Who is one artist you wish you could work with?

I’ll take the 2011, The Weeknd in a heartbeat that trilogy and House of Balloons feel was just different

Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is it coming out? What is it about?

June 3rd we're getting ready to release the single and video for my first single of the year “I Can’t Save Her”. a story fighting the idea of monogamy due to a piece of me still being a player by nature. With the idea of not knowing what “She” may really be here for its just a disclaimer “I Can’t Save Her”

What Does a day inside your shoes look like?

I try to stay as productive as possible making sure my business ventures are successful whether that be my clothing brand “SoldBySole'' or my label “The Bureau” is thriving. I also rent out exotic/luxury vehicles. When it's not business i'm usually in the gym or spending time with family and friends

Anything else you want the audience to know about you?

I’m also known in some circuits for my poetry as well as my acting abilities. I just love the arts so I was involved in plays as well as speaking events. I hold many accolades in those areas of my life

Blizzyboy LG Releases Visuals for "Broken Hearts" on Youtube - Watch Now

Blizzyboy LJ is at it again! After releasing his latest album “Overdue”, today he officially released the visuals for his hit single, “Broken Hearts” available now on Youtube. Click below to check it out.

The hustle and the grind are no strangers to rapper Ray Lamonte John Weaver-Bey professionally known as "Blizzyboy LJ“ and combined with a life that has seen him follow a nomadic world of experiences, you get a true sense of why he has the credibility to back up his enormous talent.

Raised in Hartford Connecticut, Blizzyboy LJ’s inner-city world was full of the rough and tumble of the streets and gang life. Always having a passion for music, it was his constant companion as he was repeatedly expelled from High School and the college education he pursued. Recognizing that he had to change his environment to escape the temptations he had fallen to, he moved to New York but yet again the opportunity didn‘t bear fruit and he wound up in his father‘s home state of California.

Traveling the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard with 100s of CDs in his bag, he created a presence on the street. Pushing his own music, LA was not the paradise he expected it to be and he then chose to go to college in Santa Barbara to follow his dreams. Securing gigs with the Migos, 21 Savage, and also Famous Dex in 2016, his career looked like it was going to take off but he wasn’t earning the money he needed to survive and once again fell into the life of fast cash.

In April of 2020, Blizzyboy LJ, times fell hard on him yet again which resorted to him sleeping in his car, and living in a motel with only $500 to his name. He had hit rock bottom but refused to give up.

He continued to push through different channels, eventually landing a hit single Life into the Streets which reached number 18 on the Billboard chart. He soon followed that up with another single, Dior Weather. Reaching over 250k views on Youtube alone, Blizzyboy then took another break from the industry to plan and come back even stronger. He’s been featured on Power 106 with DJ Carisma and featured on multiple reputable sites such as Elevator Mag, AllHipHop, The Hype Magazine, Genius, and more.

Now, he's back in the place he always wanted to be...creating his own destiny, dropping focus tracks titled Bang feat O.T. Genasis and, Broken Hearts from his new album Overdue. Now focused on a career that will fulfill all the promises he ever made to himself, Blizzyboy LJ is about to emerge from the storm and become the artist he always wanted to be.

GrindWeekly Magazine Interview with Stevy O

Hi Stevy O! How are you?

Hi l'm doing great thank you.

Where are you from?

I'm an African descent from New Jersey.

Why don’t you give us some details about the work you do. What do you specialize in?

I would describe my music as uplifting, quite abstract, deep and meditative. I found love making music for the sake of well being, motivation, self awareness and enlightenment. I specialize in singing and rapping in a distinctive style, vibe and voice, creating remarkable and often described as catchy sounds in hip hop music genre.

When did you start music?

I started making music a few years ago. Precisely in late 2020.

How did you get into music?

I've always been a fan of music in general. But my passion and desire to get into music started from my love and habit to listen to instrumentals as I would naturally come up with ideas and a sequence of sounds to complement instrumentals I like into songs. My music to me is important if It spreads positivity. I noticed my talent when I first tried to record myself randomly for the first time to a beat I liked on my phone and it did not sound bad at all. It's from there that I knew I had a hidden potential to unlock and work on. As of now I'm happy to be displaying this special talent of mine that I always strive for.

Who inspires you the most musically?

I'm a fan of many artists! But my music comes from my own profound sense of concept, imagination and creativity which allow me to have something unique and refreshing.

Who is one artist you wish you could work with?

I don't have one specific artist I wish I could work with at the moment but any artist that's into spreading love and positivity in general throughout music is a win for me.

What are the challenges of being an artist?

The challenges of being an artist is to understand who you are as an artist, meaning find your own purpose and vision, and just create with love to make a difference in this world. To me, once you find your own purpose everything else will follow along more loosely despite the obstacles.

Anything else you want the audience to know about you?

With that being said, I'm an artist who rather let my creativity, productivity and crafts speak for themselves.
