DormInform

Created and developed in the picture-perfect suburbs west of Chicago, Co-Stanza is a pop music project by Jack Costanza with its roots in good vibes and midwest charm. Co-Stanza’s music primarily comes straight from Jack’s bedroom, plastered with old magazines and photos of friends all over the walls. Relying heavily on classic pop elements, Co-Stanza brings the attitude in punchy guitar work and vocals that incorporate hip-hop attitudes with the hooks of a pop singer. 

Co-Stanza has recently released a new Acoustic EP called "Patch of Grass." Be sure to check it out with the links below:

After working on the 2014 feature film, "Kajaki," Phoebe Katis has launched off her career as a singer-songwriter in a fresh new way. Based in the U.K., Katis has two full-length albums that embody heartfelt stories and accentuate her jazz style through the way she sings and plays. Her most recent album, "It's Ok to Cry," features a group of humble, but compassionate songs encompassing her journey as an independent musician while delivering a level of transparency about her personal hardships.    Katis worked with Cory Wong, a profound guitar player from the sounds of Vulfpeck, on producing this album. The two had played previously side-by-side when Wong headlined a tour for his album, "Motivational Music for the Syncopated Soul."   Katis is donating all proceeds of her merch from her Bandcamp for the next month to "Black Minds Matter," a charity fund dedicated to making mental health topics relevant and accessible for all black people in the U.K.    With Katis' plans to move to Nashville, TN, it will be interesting to see how she will continue to work with the Wong crew and her other industry friends to target a new fanbase found within the states.   Find Out More About DormInform:   Website: https://myleshoffman.weebly.com/dorminform.html  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jhztaxs8QNiikoBR4HhgQ  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dorminform/id1494982584 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dorminform/support

During my time at Belmont University, it has become abundantly clear that campus is full of incredible musicians, artists, and groups that are all looking for a way to leave their mark on the industry. Miles Monaco, a dedicated producer currently attending Belmont, is no different. He has shown me as well as many other fans found on and off Belmont's campus that he has the skills as a producer, a creative, and a strategist to make a new kind of impact in his respective industries. But with this also comes Miles' high level of experimentation as he now journeys into sounds often found in alternative, pop, and lo-fi music. With his normal repertoire being a solo-producer, he has worked with various talents such as Mylky, NOIXES, and others. In this episode of DormInform, we dive into Miles Monaco's perceived impact on his listeners, his most recent single, "waste my time," his previous artist alias, and how he has been handling the national pandemic as a creator. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dorminform/support
