Reginiano

Out of the war in the middle east, award-winning musician Reginiano offers an escape to a musical voyage through his new album "Silent Cloud".

As we gaze into the sky, light-years away, we gain a deep perspective about ourselves, a perspective that connects us in a healthier way to reality.

The album "Silent Cloud" is a cosmic concept album that symbolizes our inner struggles-
between the desire to change and the need to accept, between intimate relationships and dreams, and between pain and healing.

The musical journey ranges from folk, acapella, jazz, Indian rhythms, electronic vibes, and peaks in the sounds of psytrance.

Four singles from the album won international awards in cities like Hollywood, Tokyo, Dubai, Paris, Berlin and Munich.

Reginiano invites listeners to embark on this extraordinary musical voyage, one that transcends boundaries and touches the soul.

Phil Marinucci

Former Niagara Falls artist Phil Marinucci didn’t have far to go while searching for that ’80s sound. Turns out he had a song from the ’80s he has been sitting on for nearly 40 years. His new single “FLY” could be a montage song from any ’80s action movie, but it took a bit of finessing. 

The 54-year-old multimedia/marketing developer gave it some big production and harmony vocals to nail that throwback sound. 

He produced it over two years during the pandemic and added a more “positive message to help those who needed it.” Marinucci, who currently lives in Kawartha Lakes, dabbled in short films 20 years ago but found his footing in multimedia and marketing. He took some time for a Q&A to discuss his nostalgic-sounding rocker.

HiSQ & Marko Hietala

"Hi people! I was approached by Bablo and Erkki a few months back. They said that they had a song, which they would like me to sing for their HiSQ release. I listened to the song and read the lyrics and ended up singing the song. Here’s how it resonated in me. I’ve struggled with a few addictions in my life. The worst of them has been alcohol, which made me so impulsive, untrustworthy and reckless, that everything dear to me was about to break. And it was happening because of me. I needed to make a change and I did. But I also remember how my troubles made me blur the accusing voices and constant pain in my mind with booze. I was a chronic depressive alone on a highway to hell. And addicts are worthless enough for others to write them off without getting to know anything about their reasons. We all need to communicate how we feel. We all need to hear the others. If we don’t, we’re cowards in our own field of battle. 'I’m only flesh and blood. Can I count on you?'" The Hi Status Qualified series will be releasing more songs in the upcoming months, all very various from style and all including a whole band.
