The Mid-Week Pickup for September 15, 2021
“Bloodshot” by Kisos
About the artist: Kisos comes from a family who couldn’t care less about music. While his friends jammed to all the modern hits, he was stuck in the car with 98.3 KUIC, lite rock from the 80s, 90s, & today!
Over time, the Bay Area native forged his own path. He learned flute, competed in drumline championships, and honed his voice with his university’s gospel choir. Yet through all that, he never considered music as a viable career for himself.
In 2014 that changed. Spurred on by his grandmother who asked why music wasn’t a part of his life anymore, Kisos moved to New York to pursue a dream he didn’t know he had.
He debuted his first single “Symmetry” in 2016, which Baeble Music compared to Troye Sivan and Years & Years, and followed that with a self produced EP, VOICES, in 2018.

“Striking Matches” by AYU
About the song: “”Striking Matches” is reflecting on a relationship that doesn’t feel right (anymore). It is a story about confusion and misunderstanding caused by a lack of communication. Also, it is a call to action: ‚Say what you wanna / say what you wanna say/say what you wanna do before we are drowning in flames‘. If the relationship is falling apart, in the end, is left open to interpretation.” — AYU
