Delvin“Hi African Hype, thanks for having me!”
It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?
“Of course, I’ve always been an advocate of following dreams, and I’ve been writing music since 8 years old. Music is my passion and my #1 outlet of expression. Years and years later, I never stopped dreaming, I never stopped learning about myself, and I never stopped learning about the industry. Never quit your dreams.”
Where do you originally hail from and where are you based now?
“I was born in the Bronx (New York City) and raised in Virginia. I’m based in the United States. Southern girl with city girl charm? Or is it the other way around?”
Congratulations on your latest track “I Want You”, how do you feel about the newfound success?
“I Want You is such a different track than I’m used to writing. I was in my feelings and the production of the beat really influenced where the track went. It was the right sound, the right emotion, the right feelings, at the right time. Music is very sensitive I must say. I am excited to see how far it will go and the audience it attracts! I can imagine playing at every festival with a live guitar.”
What was the inspiration behind the single?
“Wanting to move away and get out of a bad situation. At the time I wrote this song, I believe I was super depressed, surrounded by negativity, and I waited for anyone to rescue me. I let my guard down and was let down by those around me. I was waiting for a prince that never showed up to my door to whisk me away. I had hope though and that’s what got me through.”
Are there any specific elements you like to throw into your songs?
“Standout lines, catchy lyrics, natural catchy melodies, emotion, a storyline…”
What has remained as your constant source of inspiration throughout the years?
“Being the person that I looked up to as a kid. Being the best version of myself. Getting my family out of their situations. Being the princess my dad would’ve wanted me to be.”
Do you have any dream collaborations? Who are they?
“I want to collaborate with everyone, really!”
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
“I went through a lot to get to where I am today. And I love strawberry cheesecake!”
For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?
“Thank you so much for having me, I really appreciate it! I hope to visit Africa soon, perform at festivals, have meet and greets, and volunteer however I can. We all can follow our dreams and work together. I admire the beauty of your continent, and I want to bring more love, peace, and good energy. Have a great day! See you soon!”

DelvinRedrapbeat, a virtuosic music producer and digital artist, prides himself on his versatility and storytelling panache. His strongest artistic attribute lies in the fact that he can transform just about any story into melodies with universal appeal. And when it comes to his creative expression, he does not believe in self-limitation, which is why you cannot box him in any one genre. He navigates the ever-evolving realms of hip-hop, electronic, lo-fi, and orchestral symphonies, among others. He is living proof that music can indeed be enjoyed in multiple forms and still invoke emotions in listeners. He is dedicated to exploring the intersection of different genres and pushing the boundaries of his own creativity to create unique music with instant appeal!
The track “Plastic Sweet Heart” is so many things. I want to hail the mixing here; it is top-level, and the artwork is also first-class. The end result is a song of the finest quality.
Many listeners report that this track evokes nostalgia for the 80s, reminiscent of the era’s distinctive sound… others going to a certain place in Tokyo, Japan, reveling under the colorful and flashing disco lights that move in time with the music as they dance with reckless abandon.
This is the kind of jam that makes you feel young again as it hits you right in the heart. And those synths, my god! They spread pleasant melodies all around. Everything stands out: the music, the energy, and the vibe exuded here.
It’s actually too bad that this jam isn’t long enough—before you know it, it is over and leaves you wanting more. That’s just how good it is, and to imagine that I randomly stumbled upon it makes me love it tenfold.
A longer version of this track with captivating female vocals could further enhance its appeal. I’d really float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!
Available on all popular platforms, give this banger a listen; you’re likely to enjoy every second of it!

Uk-Based Award-Winning Artist Marc Woosnam’s Debut Project, “Some Remedy” Is an Ultimately Triumphant Album That Makes Its Mark Time and Time Again.

DelvinWith this 12-track album, Marc Woosnam offers quite the remedy with a scintillating blend of grunge, blues, rock, and folk. Wielding brash, soulful, smooth, and passionate sounds that hit hard and instantly captivate a listener, this album bridges the gap between stark human moments and wild, untamable energy, offering a unique perspective that only Woosnam can deliver. As a product of a 15-year creative process, it is little surprise that it has already secured its place in the Amazon Album Rock Charts.
You know, at the end of the day, it’s not just about making an album; it’s about capturing the essence of his music, the stories he wanted to tell, the emotions he wanted to convey, and the connection he wanted to make with his listeners. This album is a reflection of his musical soul, and he hopes it resonates with your hearts.
I listened to this magnificent body of work, which sees Marc pour his heart and soul into each and every track, and I’ve sampled a few tracks here to scratch your musical itch because you really need to experience this extensive work of art.
He hits the ground running and never once pauses for breath. Armed with all the trademark sounds of classic, bluesy, and grunge rock music, this Berkshire-based wizard wastes no time in making his mark, delivering a stellar opening cut in “All Fall Down”, a fiery track that emerges from thunderous percussive beats and rollicking electric riffs thanks to the help of both Marcus and Rob. As the track builds, the boys unleash a timeless medley of rhythm guitar, upright bass, and some self-assured vocals, laying a steady foundation with a strong automotive anthem!
“Sacrament” arrives in a gentle, blues-infused blend, conjuring up gorgeous shades of the original rock scene. It feels like the beating heart of yesteryear, revitalized for the modern age, making it a joy to hear. The theme is melancholic and delivered with the heart-wrenching tones of someone grappling with heartbreak and disappointment. The tune also brims with virtuosic guitar picking and awe-inspiring musicianship.
“Prosperity” is a proper rocker; it is a bold, textured sound that takes the lead from a broad selection of styles, showcasing Woosnam’s more nuanced, expressive side to his caustic rock sound.
“Met Your Match” features vividly expressive lyrics. It is a track that does not tiptoe around its weighty subject matter. This is a genuine standout that gives the listener something to think about long after the last note has faded because Marc offers variety with instrumentation and garage rock sensibilities.
Crashing riffs and pounding drums in “Sin” break down into a dark spiral of hard rock anthemics echoing visceral 90’s sounds and grunge aesthetics that conjure up comparisons to legendary bands like Nirvana and Guns N’ Roses.
“Till I Stop Missing You” features a gentle yet powerful production that wraps around the lyrics like a warm embrace. The tuneful guitar chops provide a captivating backdrop to delightfully complement the scene-stealing vocal performance. This tune is emotional, and Marc touches on a soul-stirring sentimental subject regarding the difficulties of letting go.
“Into Everything, Nothing” is another soulful jam with heartfelt lyrics and squeaky clean singing as Woosnam touches on a delicate theme, leaving a lasting impression with how he readily conveys vulnerability.
“Some Remedy” is not just music but relatable stories told through Marc’s own lenses, and it deserves to be heard more.
Follow the link below, stream it in its entirety, and let us know what you think about Woosnam’s artistry and originality.
