\ud83d\ude80 This Week\u2019s New Wave<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>HENAO<\/strong> (Houston, TX | Latin Pop)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

HENAO<\/strong> has joined Season 3 with her single \u201cDistance\u201d<\/em> and it is climbing fast! Her fans are getting ready to bring in the momentum for the last weeks on this season\u2019s charts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Beam?<\/strong> \u201cA platform that charts independent artists? Game-changing! No one else is doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong> \u201cMost people don\u2019t know I treat every instrumental and beat like a short film, I see colors, scenes, and emotion before I even record melodies & lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Lyric Written:<\/strong> \u201cEmprendo la mariposa para que no deje de volar.<\/em>\u201d | English translation: <\/em>\u201cI set the butterfly in motion so it never stops flying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Quotes:<\/strong> \u201cNever ignore the fire you feel within you, your meant to shine not to be dim\u201d | Spanish Translation: \u201cNunca ignores el fuego que arde dentro de ti, naciste para brillar, no para apagarte.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t meant to be understood, I was meant to be felt.\u201d<\/em> | Spanish Translation: \u201cNo nac\u00ed para ser entendida, nac\u00ed para ser sentida.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>CENYC<\/strong> (Montauk, NY | Hip-Hop)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With just joining Season 3, CENYC<\/strong> has already made his way up to #4 on the Hip-Hop\/R&B chart with his single \u201cCan\u2019t Never Tried.\u201d We\u2019re loving the energy that he and his fans are bringing to The Beam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Beam?<\/strong> \u201cI joined The Beam because I\u2019m community driven and built on authenticity. I wanted to be part of a space that uplifts real artists, people who move with purpose and not just numbers. The Beam gives independent voices like mine a platform to connect with genuine listeners who value growth and truth in music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact about CENYC:<\/strong> \u201cIn 2011, I stepped away from music to focus on the athletic side of me.I played college baseball and even toured briefly as a rapper with a brother of mine who now goes by T-Shyne. Eventually, I chased another dream and pursued professional football until I was 28. That same drive for performance led me to become a personal trainer and launch my own training business. When my daughter was on the way, everything shifted. She reminded me of the promise I made to myself years ago when I set music aside, that I\u2019d come back to music. That moment reignited my purpose. Now, I\u2019m back in full force, community-driven, built on authenticity, and creating music that reflects growth, resilience, and truth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>Anyone Awake<\/strong> (Rigby, ID | Indie Rock)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After their victory on the Rock\/Alt chart in Season 2, Anyone Awake<\/strong> is back at #1 on the chart with their single \u201cString Theory.\u201d<\/em> Keep an eye for these guys, they know how to perform on stage and on the charts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Beam? <\/strong>\u201cWe joined the beam to test the waters with our demographic, so we could understand them more!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact about Anyone Awake:<\/strong> \u201cOur song, I Think So, was originally a very sad and broken song, with mostly the same chords. It was eventually discarded and now sounds like how you hear it today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd25 Superfan Spotlight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early Movers:<\/strong> Pixel Terror<\/strong> is back for Season 3 with his cover of MY OWN SUMMER (SHOVE IT)<\/em>. He has moved all the way up to #1 on the Electronic chart and #8 on The Beam 50! With 8 votes from his superfans, he could win the Electronic chart prize. Who do you think will have the next breakout before the end of the Season? \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n\n\n\n
