Rob Eberle Releases Remarkable Heart Wrenching Single “Half of You”

A Glance Into a Teenage Mind with Insightful Lyrics and Intricate Melodies

Prolific young Singer/Songwriter/Producer Rob Eberle presents a new single “Half of You”, now available on Spotify and all the major music services.

Listen on Spotify here.

“Half of You” is a poignant song that delves into the complexities of a one-sided relationship. Through haunting melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Eberle captures the emotional journey of unrequited love, and the toll it takes on the one who yearns for reciprocation. The song paints a vivid picture of the narrator’s internal struggles, as he grapples with the silence that echoes in the absence of mutual affection. 

This track is perfect for playing during those sunny drives with the windows rolled down, particularly during the bridge section of the song. “Half of You” is also the kind of song you find yourself playing alone in your room at night right after experiencing a devastating breakup, yearning for the person you’ve lost. It creates a poignant atmosphere, immersing you in the raw emotions conveyed through its melancholic melody and introspective lyrics. 

With each note, “half of you” invites listeners to empathize with the bittersweet emotions of longing heartache, and the enduring hope that love may one day find its way back. The lyrics and vocals make this song a compelling exploration of the universal theme of unrequited love.

Rob Eberle is a young, versatile singer, songwriter, and producer, originally from Long Island, NY. What sets Rob apart is his extraordinary talent for capturing both his own life experiences and those of others through his music. He is the creative force behind all his songs, crafting both lyrics and melodies and collaborating with various producers to infuse each track with unique moments. Eberle’s songs serve as windows into the stories and moments of his life and the lives of those around him. Influenced by a diverse array of artists ranging from FINNEAS, Elliott Smith, Billie Eilish, Jeremy Zucker, Olivia Rodrigo, all the way to Alexander 23, Eberle has carved out his own genre-bending niche in the realm of darker alternative pop-rock.

Rob Eberle is not just a singer but also a multi-instrumentalist, proficient in guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, and even drums, which he’s recently taken up. His journey as a songwriter began at the tender age of 12, nurtured within a musical family. At 8, he received his first left-handed guitar, a gift that ignited his lifelong passion for music.

During the challenging period of the pandemic, Rob turned his focus to music, teaching himself production and piano while navigating the uncertainty of quarantine. In the past year, his music journey has taken him to remarkable places. He had an opportunity to play at SXSW in Austin, Texas, where he showcased his talent, played ACL (Austin City Limits) in October of ’23, celebrated his first-ever sold-out headline show in the heart of Manhattan, and Is currently working with Coca-Cola to produce exclusive content.

Actress Shene Commodore Appears on Oxygen Network, Producing One Woman Theater Show

Talented Performer Making Moves in the Entertainment Industry

Actress  Shene Commodore, best known for her role in a production of Lorraine Hansberry’s “To Be Young Gifted and Black”, has been diligently studying acting, modeling, singing, and piano for over ten years; perfecting her craft and setting herself up for success. Performing in independent films, musicals, web series, and shows during that time, Shene has proven to be a natural at portraying strong, female characters that bring humanity and dignity to female roles, both on screen and in theater.

While training under Acting Coach Marishka Phillips, Shene was able to obtain an Acting Manager and Agent, which led to her casting as the lead for a True Crime Story on the Oxygen channel. She also recently began writing and producing a one-woman musical show for theater performance, set to debut soon.

Ms. Commodore has a unique blend of experience in entertainment and business acumen in managing government contracts. One of her favorite moments was the time she spent in Brazil conducting training for the Department of State at the US Embassy. She continues to study acting and audition using her diverse global experiences to create relatable characters that feel genuine and connect with audiences worldwide.

Shenê Commodore was raised in Dayton, Ohio. At an early age, she knew she wanted to be an entertainer and a lawyer. Her mother worked in accounting and her father was a leading salesman in the retail business when she was younger. Their work influenced her love for fashion. In elementary school she auditioned for a play but didn’t get any part. She went to her teacher and asked why she wasn’t chosen for any role because she was better than all the boys who got a part. After convincing her teacher to create a role for her and participating in the school theater, she knew acting was for her. She learned to play the piano and organ and sang in the choir. In high school, she took ballet, tap, jazz and piano, while taking some classes for gifted and talented students. It was also during high school, she began modeling. Her love of music is an integral part of her creative process.

After graduating high school, Commodore earned her bachelor’s degree in Management and Marketing. Her goal was to become a corporate lawyer but she changed her mind when she began work as a government audit intern. It was then she learned about government contract management which allowed her to work in business and legal matters. Commodore has continued to study acting and audition while raising her 2 daughters as a single mom.

JEFF LAKE’S MIDNIGHT SUN: COUNTRY FRIED ROCK!

Singer/Songwriter Jeff Lake presents his debut album “MIDNIGHT SUN” – available now on Spotify and all the major music services. Jeff Lake combines elements of folk, bluegrass, and rock to form his own brand of Americana, or as he likes to call it – “COUNTRY FRIED ROCK”.

“Midnight Sun” was released to radio on January 2, 2024. It debuted on the AMA (Americana Music Association) chart at #136. Nearly two months later, it has inched its way up to #100. With 96 radio stations playing songs from the “Midnight Sun” album nationwide, the title-track and single is sitting at #120 on the Music Row chart.

“Midnight Sun” the album (and the song) are a smörgåsbord of string instruments intertwining traditional acoustic instruments – acoustic guitars, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, pedal-steel & upright bass – with electric guitar power chords & all the regular rock accouterments.

The song leads with a rhythmic, rap-styled vocal hook with a layered 80s rock-styled treatment, and is an homage to Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” – “Hey, ho, got to go to the midnight sun where the hot springs blow!”

Lyrically, the song speaks to Lake’s own plight as well as the plight of artists everywhere –  feelings of detachment, displacement, depression & life in a rapidly changing world:

“Got a few bucks in my pocket

“And a ticket for the train.

“I sip my whiskey in solace

“And think about the good ol’ days.”

Another homage, this one to Jim Morrison, illustrates the point further in verse 2:

“All the streets – they are uneven.

“All the faces lookin’ strange.

“All the women here are wicked

“As I drift through outer space”

But, all is not doom and gloom says Lake: “There’s this magical place – the lands of my ancestors – where we can all go to dance and sing and live happily ever after!”

ABOUT JEFF LAKE:

A multi-genre singer/songwriter, Lake has written music for Universal Greece recording artist, Michalis, and the theme song for CBS’s Latin American Idol spinoff show, the “Nueva Estrella Awards”. He has performed and recorded alongside members of TSO (the Trans Siberian Orchestra), the Dennis DeYoung Band (Styx), as well as the Billy Joel Band.

Jeff Lake picked up his first guitar at 8 years old. By junior high school he put together his first band for the annual talent show. By 17, he played his first professional gig and has never looked back. Music aside, Jeff is a long suffering Mets & Jets fan, and a Civil War buff. He was a journalism/history major at Brooklyn College before quitting school to pursue music full-time.

Punk Mafia Presents: Radio Silence EP on Earth Program/Virgin Music – Available Today 03.01.24

TODAY – Fri. March 1st, 2024, Punk Mafia presents their Radio Silence EP, the first of a series, to Spotify and all the major services via Earth Program/Virgin Music. Sample the record here.

Inspired by Joy Division, The Ramones, Type O Negative, Ministry & The Deadboys, the recordings were produced by M.O.B. and R-Low, with all instruments/vocals + lyrics created by M.O.B. and mixed/mastered by R-Low. 

M.O.B. & R-Low have produced over sixty hit songs with some of the biggest bands and rappers in the world, including artists such as Patrick Stump of Falloutboy, DJ Lethal of Limp Bizkit, Fever 333, 311, Onyx, DMC of Run-DMC and death pop kings ORGY, Chali2Na of Jurassic 5 and DJ Kilmore of Incubus among others.

This initial EP consists of four tracks; entitled “Anarchy”, “Psycho”, “Rebel” and “Rock N’ Roll Disco”, with a stated plan to release an EP every two months.

Focused on turning a negative into a positive, this ambitious project contains twenty six songs recorded over a short period of time by M.O.B. in his apartment located in the very same Franklin Village, Los Angeles building as the infamous “Hillside Strangler” once resided, with M.O.B. on Guitar, bass, synth, drums/programming vocals and lyrics. 

His partner R-Low then flew in from Italy to track vocals, drums and some other overdubs and additional production on the vocals, and quickly flew back to Italy to mix and master the songs. A sign of the times, the two maestro’s have steadily built M.O.B. together remotely across the ocean from LA to Italy and back for ten years strong.

Recently, M.O.B. Left L.A. and is back in NY putting a band together to play the Punk Mafia songs live. “I was giving too much of myself to people who weren’t respecting my love, talent, or well-being. When I give my heart, I give it all and I do not tolerate bullshit or f-around. This is real life. Real music. Now isolated away from all the posers and hookers, I feel like I finally got to address my personal mental health struggles. Getting to self-produce the music was really important to me to find the sound that best describes who I am, how I feel and what has happened in my journey of truth in music. I was able to channel my traumas and heartbreak into powerful, artistic, meaningful songs that I truly feel will help others. I am not alone in my feelings. These songs address the current political crisis, Love, Hate, heartbreak and healing, and I think many people will relate.”

Gidi Gidi Gi by Iye Teblu: The Most Awarded Colombian Short Film Of The Moment On The Planet

He has written and produced forty seven hits on Billboard’s Latin charts with his band Monsieur Job, and now Toby Holguín, under the pseudonym Iye Teblu, is achieving one of the most important moments in Colombian cinema in recent times with his first short film “Gidi Gidi Gi” which he wrote, directed, produced and acted in.

(Monsieur Job’s new album is titled: “TNTO TIEMP_O SIN VERT”. It was released globally in November 2023. The album was conceived by Toby and his musical partner Leo Jaramillo. It has had more than 1,200,000 views)

“Gidi Gidi Gi” is a thriller about bank robberies in which he appears alongside Colombian actors Alejandro Buenaventura, Susana Rojas and Oscar Rodríguez. It is an amazing and exciting high-level short film that explores the true bonds of friendship.

There was a generation of artists in Cali that coincided with the bloodiest era of drug trafficking in Colombia. Shouting “The country is collapsing and we are partying,” a group of filmmakers, writers, photographers and designers created the Caliwood movement during the 70s and 80s. His story is that of the May 68 hangover, the hippie communes, sexual liberation and endless nights of drugs, salsa and rock and roll.

Today Iye Teblu is the last link in all that cinematographic fever born in Cali and that revolutionized the seventh art in Colombia. He is now writing the history of national cinema with “Gidi Gidi Gi.” As director Iye Teblu has taken home recognition in Berlin, Cannes and Paris. It is a resounding success that has rarely been seen in recent years for a national short film.

The producer of “Gidi Gidi Gi” is Mierda Frita, a company established in Colombia.

From creating forty seven Billboard Latin Chart hits (and counting) and generating over one million views for their newest album “TNTO TIEMP_O SIN VERT” with Monsieur Job – to writing/directing/producing the short film “Gidi Gidi Gi” under the name Iye Teblu, which has already garnered nineteen awards from prestigious film festivals around the world – Toby Holguin has proven himself a true renaissance man in the world of entertainment.

Originating out of Cali, Colombia, and once a heralded football player with thoughts of sports stardom, Toby got into music and entertainment almost by accident, being called into duty to be the singer of his friend’s band in high school. Since then, the acclaimed artist and entertainment impresario has spent countless hours honing his craft, putting forth uncompromising effort, both in the studio working diligently on his music and on the set writing/directing/producing under film moniker Iye Teblu, where Holguin has been able to deftly focus his efforts parallelly into filmmaking, alongside film production group Mierda Frita, achieving truly dizzying heights as a leader in both fields. Iye Teblu is an experimental artist that writes, directs and acts from pure sensitivity. He has no formal film training or education, but his life is truly a movie.

Monsieur Job began as a solo project for Toby. Looking to stimulate collaboration, he then decided to form a band with a musician he knew to be top notch, Leo Jaramillo from Bogota, Colombia, formerly of Vía Rustica and La Mojarra Eléctrica. Toby also performs as a DJ and electronic producer as a Bora Bora Resident (since 2012), was on the Bora Bora World Tour 2012 – 2014, and Ashbury & Haight (Universal Music Mexico 2004, Universal Music Brazil 2005).
