On a Inconspicuous street located on the south side of Storm Valley lives an anti- Hero by the name of Relly Santiago aka The Postman. Being a hip hop artist by day, the dishonest music industry leads the Postman on his own agendas. The half cyborg rap phenom has a knack for overthrowing the industry rules and standards. Guided by his intelligent brother Christobal The Vision he seeks revenge in the favor of the nobody’s. On a Friday night trouble is brewing on the south side. Political ties leads the Postman down a path of anger and destruction! A knock at the door begins the night of terror. “Who is it?” Relly responds “It’s your cousin Boom!” Boom rarely comes out at a time like this so the postman knew it was trouble! “Come in” he announces. Boom entered the house with a face of disappointment. “Somebody hit my Cafe around 7:30 pm”....

So tell us about your project! What is the concept behind your music and the message it conveys?
My project is an album of pop music about relationships, called "I'm Lookin' at You." Solme of the songs are upbeat and happy ("I'm Lookin' at You," "You Make Me Happy," "Unconditionally," "Celebrate the Sun," and "We Must Have Angels Up Above"), whereas others are more thoughtful ("Throwin' Our Love Away," "Love Transcends," "I Won't Give Up On You, "You Live In Me," and "The Smallest Act of Kindness."
Do you find yourself growing as a recording artist? Explain
I am actually a songwriter, and not really a recording artist, but my songs continue to grow in depth and accessibility. I am also writing in several genres besides pop: country, rock, sacred, and easy listening retro jazz.
What is your favorite experience musically in recent times?
I enjoy writing songs, and then working with the recording studio to improve the arrangement and really bring out the lyrics and music!
Besides music what other things are you into?
I love nature and gardening, and I also love movies and books!
Would you like to have a dream collaboration, if so who would it be with? For pop, I would love to collaborate with |Adele!
Do you feel that your genre of music has a step of evolution to reach?
The music is constantly evolving as I bring in and combine elements from more genres and styles.
Where in years to come do you see your legacy being forged? I would love for some of my songs to become "classics," played widely, covered widely, and used in movies and TV. I couldn't think of a better legacy!
How do you manage to keep a creative mind in making music? I love to be inspired by an idea or concept for a song, orf a person or character, or situation. Wherever music is used in our life and society, I am always thinking about the song I would write for that genre/occasion/relationship.
Any last remarks?
Music is personal. Either it touches you or it doesn't. For those of you who my music touches, you now share a part of me, and I you. Good music really has an unlimited shelf life as long as it sounds good. And I agree with Duke Ellington who said "If it sounds good, it IS good!"
"Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go. In an era where you can tune out with a tap, this song pulls you in with a vibe that feels both nostalgic and boldly forward-looking. The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive. The songwriting here is something to applaud. It’s got that old-school flavor—the kind of thing your parents might hum along to—mixed with a futuristic spark that hints at adventures not yet lived. It’s as if the track invites you to step into a time-warped alley where the streetlights flicker with neon possibilities. Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...

After Boom and Postman arrived at Bobby’s restaurant they noticed something unusual. The back door that leads to the kitchen had been Pried open leaving boom and Post with a look of concern. Before they could set the fire, they had to make sure the restaurant was vacant. Just as expected, they over heard a voice inside the restaurant talking to someone on a cellphone. “I don’t know where he keeps the safe boss”. The man spoke. With the phone being on speaker, Rellz and Boom recognized the voice. “You keep searching!” Said the familiar voice. At that moment they knew the criminal was working for Tony’s brother Frankie Pachino. Frankie spoke again saying. “We need Tony to blame Boom for this. W e robbed Boom’s Cafe earlier today, and to me it wasn’t enough! With Tony’s cousin being robbed, he will d...
Wonderful interview! So happy to read it, Clark, and to learn more about you, my treasured friend.
