Interview: Alexa Melo

California Songstress, Alexa Melo, lets down her guard in a empowering manner that showcases the personal growth and assurance that she continues to cultivate within as a human being. In celebration of the release of her latest EP, ‘MUTE’, I caught up with Alexa to discuss what she learned throughout the recording process, choosing not to damage your identity through the criticism of others, living in California and more.

Congrats on the recent release of the ‘Mute’ EP. Tell us about the creative and recording process and what you learned along the way.

Thank you! Well, the first song I recorded on ‘MUTE’ is called “Loyalty”. This was 6 months after a vocal cord surgery I underwent, and being mostly mute for months. So, I sang these songs in a much more timid and raw tone than anything else I’d ever done – my voice was still healing and I was not feeling myself. “Loyalty”, along with the rest of the songs featured on this EP, I recorded and produced alone in my bedroom. I was able to take my time and be patient with my voice, but also become more honest with my lyrics without feeling the judgement of others. I learned that being patient with myself and my writing is super important no matter how long it takes.

Share some words of wisdom that you have received along your journey as a musician that can serve to inspire others.

Never allow others to change your creative direction through scrutiny or criticism. It’s great to take constructive critiques and apply where it resonates with you, but never allow others to bully you into becoming something you’re not. This happens a lot in the industry and it’s never worth the damage it can ultimately do to your identity.

Showcasing the human in you, what is a challenging thought that you recently had and were able to overcome over time?

The way that people make you feel about yourself is ultimately how you feel about yourself with or without them. I’ve had to learn to validate myself and not turn to others to provide that for me.

You’re currently based in California. Tell us about how living on the West Coast has served to influence your artistry.

Having lived in LA for 12 years and recently moving to the Bay Area, I’ve noticed that even between LA and the Bay, the artistic scenes and influence vary. Living in California means that motivated and talented artists are seemingly always around you – because they all seem to flock here to be in the industry. So, inspiration is on tap here and I love it.

Thinking back to day one in the studio for the ‘Mute’ EP, did you think that the release would have turned out anything like it did?

No. I had no idea it would be so dark, and that the visual aesthetic would be so dark as well. On day one, I didn’t know what would occur in the year to come. So many more unexpected hardships came my way, but at the end of the day I’m so pleased with the result of this EP.

As you are exposed to tons of stimulus, how do you proactively take care of your mental and emotional health when you’re out on the road?

No drugs and lots of sleep. I’m pretty boring!

What is your perception on the digital world that we live in and social media culture?

I could go on and on about this, but I’ll spare you. There are so many pros and cons to discuss, especially when referring to the music industry and all the ways this digital era has affected it. My perspective is constantly shifting about this. Some days i feel like an old man cursing the “new way”! On other days i feel blessed being apart of this surreal, futuristic reality. What I am sure of though, is that I think there’s a balance we desperately need to all achieve to be a healthier, happier species. We have fallen way too deep into a technological world and I’m fairly certain it’s taking an unforgiving toll in how our minds work and how our brains are developing. Just in my lifetime, I’ve seen the way people interact with each other and the world change drastically in ways that are not positive. I think the internet is creating a false sense of connection while it’s actually creating distance between us. Not only that, I think it could also be turning us against each other in a sense. Not to mention the fact that vanity and narcissistic behavior is accepted and even encouraged now, especially in the younger generations. I’m concerned about how this will all affect us mentally as we age.

No career path or amount of followers negates the fact that you are a human being that has feelings. Tell us about some parts of you beyond being a musician that you take pride in.

Despite what you may believe upon looking at and listening to my art, I love to laugh and make people laugh. I’m a goofball; any darkness I may feel gets immediately filtered with art. I’m actually quite light-hearted.

Last but certainly not least, any closing messages for your fans?!

Thank you for listening and supporting!

Non-needed: Legacy is, and ultimately, that’s what matters this weekend, that and us finally getting something that masquerades as a 50-50 fight mega-fight. Ryan Garcia is undefeated at 23-0 in his career and bolsters 19 wins by KO. Originally gaining fame on social media, Garcia has evolved into a prodigal boxer with lightning fast hands and a gorgeous punching game. He’s the epitome of a young Oscar De La Hoya if you added Ferrari’s and fur coats to his wardrobe. He’s been on a destructive path of vicious knockouts and has been calling for this fight since he was 22 years old. With a win here, Garcia would propel himself into boxing stardom. Garcia stands 5’10” with a 70-inch reach. With Saturday’s showdown fast approaching, Kahn has studied Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia from every angle, identified the best value in the boxing odds and released his confident picks.

This is essentially the first tier of MVP hopefuls, with a couple dozen other players 100-1 or longer who haven’t budged off their current prices. Some on the list should benefit from playing on a better overall team, but it hasn’t helped their MVP stocks. For example, Westbrook and James Harden, now on the same team – again – have seen their odds shorten, given they’ll have to split their usage. George went from playing with one star (Westbrook) to another (Kawhi Leonard), but has been bumped from 12-1 to 16-1. Holmgren can now return to that excitement in the lead up to the next NBA season. Despite missing an entire year, he is one of the leading player’s in the NBA Rookie of the Year odds. Holmgren is currently +450 to win the hardware on DraftKings. The only player ahead of him not named Wembanyama is Scoot Henderson. Holmgren is significantly ahead of Brandon Miller who comes in at +950. Henderson and Miller are vying to be the second selection in this year’s NBA draft.

Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
COSC Validation and its Demanding Criteria
COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Swiss testing agency that attests to the accuracy and precision of wristwatches. COSC validation is a symbol of superior craftsmanship and trustworthiness in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its own demanding standards with mechanisms like the UNICO, reaching equivalent accuracy.

The Art of Precision Timekeeping
The central system of a mechanical timepiece involves the mainspring, which delivers power as it loosens. This system, however, can be susceptible to environmental factors that may influence its precision. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo rigorous testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests evaluate:

Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
Mean variation, maximum variation levels, and effects of thermal variations.
Why COSC Validation Is Important
For watch enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-accredited watch isn’t just a piece of tech but a proof to lasting excellence and accuracy. It symbolizes a timepiece that:

Offers excellent reliability and precision.
Provides assurance of quality across the whole design of the timepiece.
Is apt to maintain its worth better, making it a smart choice.
Well-known Chronometer Brands
Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Soul, which showcase COSC-validated movements equipped with innovative materials like silicon equilibrium suspensions to enhance durability and efficiency.

Historic Context and the Development of Timepieces
The concept of the chronometer dates back to the requirement for exact chronometry for navigational at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a standard for assessing the accuracy of high-end timepieces, continuing a tradition of excellence in horology.

Conclusion
Owning a COSC-certified watch is more than an visual choice; it’s a commitment to quality and precision. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC certification provides peace of mind, ensuring that each accredited timepiece will perform reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment, COSC-validated timepieces stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of meticulous timekeeping.

Nihai Dönemsel En Büyük Popüler Casino Platformu: Casibom

Bahis oyunlarını sevenlerin artık duymuş olduğu Casibom, nihai dönemde adından sıkça söz ettiren bir bahis ve casino web sitesi haline geldi. Ülkemizdeki en mükemmel casino platformlardan biri olarak tanınan Casibom’un haftalık göre değişen giriş adresi, alanında oldukça yenilikçi olmasına rağmen itimat edilir ve kazanç sağlayan bir platform olarak öne çıkıyor.

Casibom, yakın rekabeti olanları geride bırakarak eski bahis platformların önüne geçmeyi başarmayı sürdürüyor. Bu sektörde uzun soluklu olmak önemlidir olsa da, oyuncularla iletişimde bulunmak ve onlara temasa geçmek da aynı kadar değerli. Bu noktada, Casibom’un her saat hizmet veren gerçek zamanlı destek ekibi ile rahatça iletişime geçilebilir olması büyük bir artı sunuyor.

Hızla artan oyuncu kitlesi ile dikkat çekici olan Casibom’un gerisindeki başarım faktörleri arasında, yalnızca kumarhane ve canlı casino oyunları ile sınırlı kısıtlı olmayan geniş bir hizmet yelpazesi bulunuyor. Atletizm bahislerinde sunduğu kapsamlı seçenekler ve yüksek oranlar, oyuncuları cezbetmeyi başarıyor.

Ayrıca, hem sporcular bahisleri hem de kumarhane oyunları katılımcılara yönelik sunulan yüksek yüzdeli avantajlı promosyonlar da ilgi çekiyor. Bu nedenle, Casibom çabucak alanında iyi bir tanıtım başarısı elde ediyor ve önemli bir katılımcı kitlesi kazanıyor.

Casibom’un kazanç sağlayan ödülleri ve popülerliği ile birlikte, web sitesine üyelik ne şekilde sağlanır sorusuna da atıfta bulunmak gereklidir. Casibom’a taşınabilir cihazlarınızdan, bilgisayarlarınızdan veya tabletlerinizden internet tarayıcı üzerinden kolaylıkla erişilebilir. Ayrıca, sitenin mobil cihazlarla uyumlu olması da büyük önem taşıyan bir avantaj sağlıyor, çünkü şimdi pratikte herkesin bir akıllı telefonu var ve bu akıllı telefonlar üzerinden kolayca giriş sağlanabiliyor.

Hareketli tabletlerinizle bile yolda gerçek zamanlı bahisler alabilir ve müsabakaları canlı olarak izleyebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, Casibom’un mobil uyumlu olması, memleketimizde kumarhane ve casino gibi yerlerin meşru olarak kapatılmasıyla birlikte bu tür platformlara erişimin büyük bir yolunu oluşturuyor.

Casibom’un güvenilir bir casino platformu olması da önemli bir avantaj getiriyor. Lisanslı bir platform olan Casibom, duraksız bir şekilde eğlence ve kazanç sağlama imkanı sağlar.

Casibom’a kullanıcı olmak da son derece kolaydır. Herhangi bir belge gereksinimi olmadan ve ücret ödemeden web sitesine kolayca kullanıcı olabilirsiniz. Ayrıca, site üzerinde para yatırma ve çekme işlemleri için de birçok farklı yöntem vardır ve herhangi bir kesim ücreti talep edilmemektedir.

Ancak, Casibom’un güncel giriş adresini takip etmek de elzemdir. Çünkü canlı iddia ve oyun web siteleri popüler olduğu için hileli web siteleri ve dolandırıcılar da belirmektedir. Bu nedenle, Casibom’un sosyal medya hesaplarını ve güncel giriş adresini düzenli olarak kontrol etmek önemlidir.

Sonuç, Casibom hem itimat edilir hem de kazandıran bir kumarhane web sitesi olarak ilgi çekiyor. Yüksek promosyonları, geniş oyun seçenekleri ve kullanıcı dostu mobil uygulaması ile Casibom, casino hayranları için ideal bir platform getiriyor.
