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

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This is ccrickett’s <\/strong>first season on The Beam and she has risen all the way to #1 on the Electronic Chart and #3 on TheBeam50!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are you from? <\/strong>“Vegas is my hometown.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Genre: <\/strong>“I don\u2019t know what genre I make specifically but I\u2019d say it\u2019s electronic in a general sense. It could be classified as deconstructed club or IDM as well.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Beam?<\/strong> \u201cMy friend recommended The Beam to me and initially I saw it as a cool opportunity to get myself out there. But it\u2019s also a really awesome place to discover small artists as well, and since I\u2019m always digging for new stuff, I really enjoy it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact from ccrickett:<\/strong> \u201cA fun fact about my music would be that I when I\u2019m creating, don\u2019t like to give myself any type of strict direction other than a feeling or atmosphere. I try to let the process decide the outcome and i find that it feels more natural this way. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Lyric Written:<\/strong> “I don\u2019t use many lyrics in my music.  I can\u2019t say I have a favorite set of words but I do enjoy using words and statements to enhance atmosphere. And so far my favorite atmosphere to play with is a dystopian one. And my favorite song I\u2019ve created so far would have to be +nautilus+.”<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auggie<\/strong> has been with The Beam since our first season! He has won the #1 spot on the Latin Chart for Season’s 1,2,3, and is currently #1 in Season 4!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are you from?<\/strong> “I\u2019m originally from Peru! I am based in Miami, Florida, in the United States though!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Genre: <\/strong>“Latin! I make all kinds of music but focus on blending it with my culture and background. You will hear a lot of fusion between niche styles within Hip-Hop, Electronic, Alternative as well.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Beam?<\/strong> \u201cI joined The Beam because I wanted to be part of a platform that could help me grow as an artist both with fan discovery and helping fund the future of my project. It\u2019s been a phenomenal journey and I\u2019m incredibly grateful for the support I have received.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact from Auggie:<\/strong> \u201cI love to play around with technology and create tools for myself. For example, I dabble with Arduino\u2019s and DIY hardware and have programmed my own MIDI controller theremin in my studio. I\u2019ve also put together weird ideas I have into custom plugins using Pure Data and Max for Live. Not all my supporters know this but some do!<\/em>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Lyric Written:<\/strong> “It\u2019s hard to choose one specific lyric from one particular song! This one is very meaningful to me: When you chase the future, you miss out on today.<\/em>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
