Anchored by two singles “Or Nah” and “Like Pablo,” PRZNT hasalready smashed his day one streaming record by amassing over 120,000 streams on its debutrelease. PRZNT is no stranger to massive streaming numbers with more than 120 millionstreams across platforms, the Cuban-born artist is gaining worldwide recognition with tracksincluding “Laudy Daudy.” His debut album, Night of the Rose, is out now.Hailing from Cuba, PRZNT cites Latin music as a heavy influence on his style. “My first love wasMichael Jackson— I was heavy on his music when I was younger until I discovered Kid Cudi andLil Wayne,” he shares.PRZNT’s introduction to music making began in high school, when he found his friends gettinginto it and developed his own passion and sound. “Around that time, I used to skip school andcreate different things until I eventually got decent enough to make music,” adds the artist.Soon after, he met his first manager, who helped elevate his music onto streaming platformswhere he found a real fanbase. “From there, everything kept flowing, and we kept going up.”PRZNT eventually caught the attention of NOGXNRE, a decentralized music label pioneeringtransparency in the music industry. After some negotiations, the two parties signed their firstrecord deal helping catapult PRZNT into a new level of artistry.The artist’s moniker was originally “Present1k,” a reference to being present in the momentand “not worrying about the future or past.” As he continued to grow as an artist, PRZNTshifted to the current stage name, keeping its meaning intact. “It’s about staying true to themoment,” shares the artist.Night of the Rose, PRZNT’s debut album, was recently released on March 1. “It’s basically acompilation of the sound I’ve been polishing and perfecting for years,” shares the artist. “Thisproject is completely me. It defines me as an artist and person. It’s a gift from me to the world.”With stark and innovative production from NOGXNRE staples Adrian Chafer and Griffin“Everlyte” Jarosinski, Night of the Rose delivers a consistent holistic sound that captures thevibe that we’ve all come to know and love from PRZNT. Additional vocals from longtimecollaborator 2Scratch on the catchy Jersey-club inspired track “Video” round out a robust bodyof art unlike anything we’ve heard from PRZNT before.“Or Nah,” the album’s highlighted single, features the familiar sound his early fans fell in lovewith: somber melodies on a bed of moody guitars. “It’s for my fans who showed me supportfrom the beginning,” adds PRZNT. The song is equal parts nostalgic, vibrant, and chill.Instead of focusing on sending a message, PRZNT wants listeners to have fun with “Or Nah.” “Iwant them to enjoy themselves and have a great time partying with friends, chilling in the carwith it, and turning up to the song at my concerts. It’s more of an experience than a meaning,”explains the artist.“It was a typical writing day for me,” tells PRZNT of the song’s creation. “I came up with themelody for the song, chose the vibe to go for. In more broad terms, it says, ‘are you gonna dosomething or not going to do it?’ ‘Are you down, or are you not down?’ That’s the wholemeaning of the song. It can be about a girl, a moment, or an experience. We started with thefull production before adding lyrics and melody, then came up with the ideas for the hooks andverses.”In addition to “Or Nah,” PRZNT invites listeners should check out the second single “Like Pablo,”one of PRZNT’s favorite songs on the album. “The album is an offering from me to the worldabout who I am as an artist. It’s what I’ve learned from being an independent artist to having anindependent label behind me. I’m staying true to myself no matter what I experience. I put itout there for people to enjoy it.”Make sure to stay connected to PRZNT on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts and listen to Night of the Rose on all streaming platforms .Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
