Los Angeles Comedian and Recording Artist Marc Gordon speaks about Thoughts & Prayers

Los Angeles based Comedian and Recording Artist Marc Gordon stops by the show to discuss his latest EP project "Thoughts and Prayers" along with his views on current events in society. Marc Gordon masterfully developed a comedic music video to voice a clear message for change. While Marc has always shared an interest for politics, he also knew that the best way to have your message heard is not always the most ordinary. Marc is combining his extraordinary talents in comedy, music, and production to create a powerful message for mass visibility, attention, and a need for change. Marc's mission is to use comedy to create awareness and educate people on the reality of politics and to remove that blindfold when voting. Marc is a strong believer of inspiring change collectively, "we all have to come together in order to make changes." He is hoping to use his platform much like: Howard Stern, Steven Colbert, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Bill Maher, to name a few.​ We caught up with Marc Gordon and here is what he had to say about Trump, the Republican Party and his new video… He has written and produced a 5-song Hip Hop and EDM EP, "Thoughts & Prayers". The title track of the album, "Thoughts & Prayers" is a protest song in the style of "Rage Against the Machine" about the rising gun violence in schools. The song calls out politicians for their inaction while taking large sums of money from the NRA. Marc hopes the album will raise money and awareness against gun violence. The rest of the album is focused on storytelling. "I am an Artist" is an introspective track about the struggles and importance of constantly creating material", said Marc Gordon. Marc Gordon, who gave insights into other songs on his EP, noted that "Not on the List" parodies a typical night in Los Angeles where people often end up at clubs without being able to get in because they haven't been put on a list. Marc Gordon said that "Virtual Reality" takes you on an immersive ride into the fantasy world of VR. #podcast #trump #trumpnews #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #cannabisculture #cannabispodcast #marcgordon #new #newmusic #news

On Air with Brandon Jay Exclusive Interview with Jordan C. Arrant

On this episode Serendipity Works CEO/Founder Jordan C. Arrant stops by. He's also the founder of Drum Drop Music. Jordan, just released a new single "I Hate Country" and we get the opportunity to hear it after the interview. 
We are storytellers.
Born and raised near Hollywood, building stories of all kinds is in our DNA. Not everyone can craft and maintain a high quality narrative that connects with people, but we can, and we like to bring that skill to brands.
We use our deep entertainment experience to help clients of all sizes discover their unique brand stories and then facilitate the expression of those stories in a variety of visual mediums. Many times this expression comes in the form of video production, but it also can be through social media, design, web, and more. By keeping our team lean and only ramping up when a project calls for it, we can also be budget friendly. 
We love storytelling so much that we even spend part of our time developing our own original content as well. That is why we don’t consider ourselves just an advertising agency or yet another production company, but rather a creative workshop where Serendipity is the norm.
 
FROM POP-PUNK TO EDM, AND BEYOND
Jace Arrant was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the world's music mecca. He was a drummer in a pop punk band for years, but as with many wannabe rock stars, this group fell apart before striking it big. Jace, however, didn’t want to let the dream go, so he decided to try to reinvent himself years later as an Electronic Dance Music DJ /producer. 
If we are being honest, Jace was a much better drummer than an EDM producer, but after a weird head injury at his day job, Jace discovered five new imaginary friends that will change the trajectory of his music and his personal life, for better or worse.
His latest tracks are somehow a mix of Blink 182, The Chain Smokers, and The Lonely Island, and his adventures with the Dummy Bears are just beginning. Follow along to see what happens next!
