Rock and metal music is for everyone, truthfully. It always has been from the authenticity of the sound, to the connection each song has to us, all the way to the impactful live shows that never die in our minds. This authenticity is why many artists gravitate to the genres.
There are also artists out there in other genres that grew up loving rock & metal, as well as still loving it to this day. So what should we do as fans when those artists try and find their sound in rock & metal? We do what we should do, embrace it and give them a chance to show us who they are.
IV4 joins the Chord Progression Podcast, after reaching out to us via Instagram DM. This is how we bring you some great new artists in the rock and metal word. Discover IV4 as we talk about:
- IV4's backstory of how she hustled & grinded her way into the music industry, created an alternative R&B sound, only to discover her true sound in heavier music.
- Why IV4 went against the wishes of label experts in regards to going into rock & metal, doing it slowly while not purely chasing clout, and how staying true to herself resonated with new fans to her music.
- Her new song "Let Us Pray," how it speaks to her authenticity, and what Kevin sees in this song for the future.
