24KGOLDN TURNING 20 AND #1


Golden Landis Von Jones
 better known as 24KGoldn has reason to celebrate. On Friday he turns 20 and his track Mood, featuring Iann Dior is the #1 song in the country…again. But Goldn almost didn’t pursue music. As a child he did commercial acting and was in LunchablesHonda and Blue Diamond Almond commercials. Then Goldn was studying finance and loving campus life at USC . He says “Before I realized I could do music professionally, my whole plan was to become a hedge fund manager. Thank God I didn’t do that.”  We’re all glad Goldn took the singer, rapper, songwriter road. 

 

This weekend I’m takin’ the road to party town with a custom HK remix on 24KGoldn’s #1 track plus hits from Gabby Barrett with Charlie PuthAJRMachine Gun Kelly & BlackbearSam SmithJason DeruloWhy Don’t WeJustin Bieber and Marshmello. Also in the mix are new bangers from Ariana GrandeHarry StylesJulia MichaelsIcona Pop with Sofi Tukker and so much more! I’m droppin’ the needle on massive mashups, mixin’ in fave throwbacks and turning up the heat on your virtual dancefloor.

BENEE IS SUPALONELY


Stella Bennett, aka Benne, the 20-year-old singer/songwriter from New Zealand didn’t have social distancing in mind when she came up with her viral hit Supalonely featuring Gus Dapperton. She penned the upbeat track laced with comic expression of self-pity during a songwriting trip to LA last year. With lyrics like “La La La La La I’m a Lonely B****” the song has morphed into an unintentional quarantine anthem. Benne says… “I wrote it about my breakup, but now everyone’s relating it to being isolated and not being able to see friends. I guess we’re all lonely b****es now.”

I believe as long as we have music we’re never alone, so I’m wrapping you in my musical blanket to help make your weekend soar! I’ve been working on a custom HK remix of Benne’s Supalonely as well as remixes on chart toppers from Billie EilishblackbearCamila CabelloRoddy RicchMaren MorrisLauvFive Seconds Of SummerTaylor SwiftDoja CatJustin Bieber with QuavoSza Justin Timberlake.

The music community is stepping up and giving back during this scary time of COVID-19. Taylor Swift has helped a Nashville record store stay afloat by donating money to each employee and paying three months of their health care.

Last week Rihanna donated a whopping $5 million to COVID-19 relief efforts and this week she contributed another cool million that Jay-Z matched. Lizzo sent lunch to ER workers at various hospitals across the country. And the list goes on and on of donations and good deeds from celebrity artists and everyday people alike helping out in whatever way they can.

MUSIC MORE POWERFUL THAN MEDICATION?


Studies suggest music can be even more powerful than medication. Research shows that listening to music can improve immune functioning, cognitive performance and endurance. It can reduce anxiety, decrease pain and make you feel happier. Mayo Clinic says, that “listening to music is a good stress reliever because it provides a mental distraction, reduces muscle tension and decreases stress hormones”. They go as far to say “Crank up the volume and let your mind be absorbed by the music”. Oh yeah …I’m gonna be crankin’ up the volume this weekend on In The Mix with HK™. Get ready for exclusive HK remixes on hits from Billie EilishLewis CapaldiDemi LovatoblackbearJustin BieberTrevor DanielCamila Cabello and Doja Cat.
