Hey, have you heard of For You Brother? Yeah right, I know, it sounds familiar to you, and that is because we got the chance to listen to one of their songs titled ‘America’.

Rock My World: For You Brother's Explosive Fusion of Funk and Rock Hey, have you heard of For You Brother? Yeah right, I know, it sounds familiar to you, and that is because we got the chance to listen to one of their songs titled ‘America’. For You Brother is this killer rock duo from South Carolina that's been blowing up lately. I stumbled across their new single "Rock My World" and I can't stop playing it. These guys, Jon Dash and Deep Soul School, are doing something pretty cool - mixing that classic glam rock vibe with some funky beats. It's like Lenny Kravitz met Van Halen and decided to jam together. The way they blend nostalgia with modern sounds is seriously impressive. https://www.musicarenagh.com/behind-the-rhythms-for-you-brother-on-their-latest-hit-america/ "Rock My World" is straight-up addictive. The hooks are catchy as hell and the instrumentation packs a punch. I heard they recorded it at a place called Dizzleland USA (cool name, right?) and got this guy Shawn Guess to mix it. Apparently, the song's about some woman who really left an impression on them - you can feel that energy in every note. I'm telling you, whether you're a die-hard rock fan or just getting into the genre, For You Brother is worth checking out. I'm curious to learn more about their story and what they've got planned next. Maybe we should try to catch one of their shows if they come through town?

Can you tell us a bit about your musical journey and how "For You Brother" came to be The Genesis of For You Brother Came to be as a Movie " Who's Your Caddy " was filmed at my house. The Executive Mansion in the movie. I was asked to write a song for the movie. I needed a rapper, That's how I found Melvin aka Deep Soul School. So I hired him to do a rap for me. From that day forward Deep and I became writing partners & best friends. What inspired the name "For You Brother," and how does it reflect your music and values? For You Brother was inspired by Deep, he would often say this one is for you my brother. What's the story behind "Rock My World"? What inspired the song's lyrics and message? Rock My World came about from a sweet, sweet honey that smelled like Strawberries 🍓. She had a sweet, sweet shake!! Absolutely gorgeous!! 💯 The kinda girl you would tell your Mother about! Just rocked our world 🌎 How would you describe the sound and style of "Rock My World" compared to your previous work? Rock My World is more of a funk/ Rock track. Has a rock / Rap vibe. Very energetic ! How would you categorize your genre, and what sets "For You Brother" apart from other artists in the same space? I feel like we have our own style when Deep & I worked together. We covered many different styles. Can you share your songwriting process? Do you start with lyrics, melodies, or beats? Our songs always started with guitars 🎸 while I recorded the guitar, bass & drums Deep would write all lyrics then sing the track. We never spent over 2.5 hours on any one track. We always recorded our emotions for the day. How do you draw inspiration from personal experiences, current events, or social issues? Inspiration always came to us the minute we got in the studio. We just played what ever I jammed on. Usually while I was tuning up the guitar. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nWuBCCDsqEOKvbucI6gsN?si=VqLj3WdXSW2xDcLmYSEbhw What's next for "For You Brother"?
