New Music Monday

Let me introduce you to a song you might have already heard by an artist who is doing things his way and proving that it can work.

Meet Tom Macdonald.  The first independent rapper to EVER get a #1 Pop song on Billboard.  With no record label.  He’s done this on his own.

“I wrote this song for a my girlfriend Nova and released the video 2 weeks ago. We’re both Canadian. It’s got 3.5 Million views on YouTube, it was #1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales today (beating out Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, etc.) and got me the front page on the National Post, Vancouver Sun, Toronto Sun, Edmonton Sun, Calgary Sun etc. a couple days ago.

I’m a completely independent artist – no record labels or managers or anything, really. I wrote the song, made the instrumental and distributed independently. My girlfriend, who I wrote the song about, shot the music video. You can watch it here”

What do you think of the song?  Is it something we should add to the Fox playlist?  Let us know. Text the A1 Security Textline – 519-464-1999
