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!

On Air with Brandon Jay Exclusive Interview with Recording Artist Mercy

On this episode National Recording Artist Mercy stops by to share her new single "Going Down" and we get the scoop on some other things she's doing in the film world. She also shares a fun fact that no one can google about her anywhere. You don't wanna miss it!
MERCY isn’t your typical Hollywood fairy tale. Born in Sun Valley, CA to a rock musician and a second-generation circus runaway turned film and television sound editors, she’s no stranger to the struggles of what it takes to ‘make it’ according to the standards of ‘the biz’.
 
Her parents divorced when she was two and, although they were struggling financially, they agreed to provide her with piano lessons. She started composing her own music when she was just six years old. She made her feature film debut in Stuart Little along with numerous voice-over projects. Just as her young Hollywood career seemed about to take off, the rug was pulled out from beneath her when her mother and stepfather made an abrupt move to Albuquerque, NMfollowing the promise of steady work.
 
To escape her abusive stepfather, MERCY ran away from home in her mid-teens. She found herself in Las Vegas with her at-the-time boyfriend singing for money on the street corners. Covers of Madonna, Heart and the Spice Girls provided enough money for them to survive while sleeping in her truck. When this proved to be a hard way to live, she moved back to California and into her father’s home. Coming back to Los Angeles was no easy thing. She floated aimlessly, developing an addiction to alcohol that almost took her life. Fearing she couldn’t stay in LA, she made the hard decision to move back to New Mexico after being accepted into the University of New Mexico.
 
She supported herself through college, working multiple bartending jobs. When money was tight, she resorted back to living in her car to continue doing the things she loved. She developed an immense passion to wander through the fringes of the entertainment industry, thriving in the strangest of places, all while working toward a dual degree in Forensic Anthropology and Psychology. With a great sense of adventure, MERCY has gathered more experiences, good and bad, than most people can even dream of. She has numerous alternative and tattoo modeling appearances. She transitioned into burlesque in 2010 after winning a modeling pageant at the Rock the Ink tattoo convention. She expanded her entertainment skills into Fire Arts less than a year later. She graduated with honors in 2012, quickly learning the mainstream career she was pursuing no longer existed. So she joined the circus, literally.
 
It was in this new environment MERCY was truly born! Her crowd-pleasing feats as a fire breather wowed audiences, fueling her ambition. She added fire dancing, glass eating and machete walking to her act with HELLZAPOPPIN Circus Sideshow Review. In 2016, MERCYlaunched her own two-girl circus road show, BIO DOLLS, a high-intensity, thrill-filled cabaretfeaturing aerial stunts, fire acts and acrobatics. MERCY has wowed audiences with her unique entertainment at New York’s premier pride event Siren, along with Harley Davidson’s Bike Week and numerous Electronic Music Festival performances. MERCY topped the bill as the featured burlesque dancer and fire performer for the Star Casino and five consecutive Rock the Ink tattoo conventions.
 
Between circus tours and spotlight shows, MERCY returned to the big screen as a background performer in 2015’s Maze Runner and in Shot Caller, released in 2017. She pulled double duty on Michael Bay’s 6 Underground starring Ryan Reynolds in 2018 as both an actress and stuntwoman.
 
In 2019, MERCY dove back into music headfirst, setting the stage for her techno-pop solo effort built on themes and subjects from her life to date – powerful vocals, hit music, circusextravaganza, sexy burlesque, flashy pyrotechnics and over-the-top entertainment. Her music was featured in India’s blockbuster SAAHO starring Prabhas and her first single, BHAAG “SAAHO BANG BANG”, was released alongside the official movie trailer. In just two weeks, the trailer had more than 110 million views. Her next single is set to drop soon and dates for her debut European tour are in the works.
 
The acting roles kept coming, even as MERCY focused on completing her EP/singles, which were delayed until the summer of 2021 by the pandemic. She earned a part in Lana Wachowski’s Matrix Resurrections with Keanu Reeves and performed background/ stunt work in the Tom Holland/Mark Wahlberg Uncharted adaptation in 2020.
 
She’ll tell you herself, as she starts this new venture, she’s just hitting her groove. She has found where she belongs. Combining her talents as a singer, songwriter, actress, model and circus performer to showcase MERCY, you’re invited along for the journey with a simple promise – there will never be a dull moment – and a bit of advice - no matter what adversity life serves up, KEEP GOING.
