    Creator to Creators S8 Ep 14 Alexandra Petkovski AKA FJØRA

    Bio With the premiere of Acorn TV's new mystery drama You're Killing Me, I wanted to introduce composer, songwriter, producer, and artist Alexandra Petkovski AKA FJØRA. Executive produced by and starring Brooke Shields, the series marks Alexandra's first network television project, for which she created the score, main title theme, and original songs featured throughout the season.  Known for blending score and soundtrack, Alexandra built a musical world where themes introduced throughout the series conclude in songs released under FJØRA. Inspired by the New England coastal setting, she incorporated sampled seashells and seagulls into the score, while also lending her vocals to the main title theme. The project was a strong collaboration with showrunner Robin Bernheimburger, who shares her passion for music-driven storytelling. Prior to You're Killing Me, Alexandra worked alongside Linda Perry on Prime Video's Welcome to the Blumhouse and was recently featured in Emmy Magazine ahead of the series premiere. Mentored by Siddharth "Sid" Khosla (Only Murders in the Building), she can speak about blending songwriting with scoring, developing a distinctive compositional style, and building a career across both the artist and composer worlds. If this is of any interest, we'd love to explore an interview or feature opportunity Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

    linktr.ee Youtube Instagram Bio Rock artist Rourke isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. Through powerful songwriting and unapologetic lyrics, he transforms political, social, and personal struggles into music that sparks conversation. His album Starstruck is the culmination of an eight-year creative journey, blending rock, Americana, and pop influences into a collection of songs that tackle injustice, identity, and the human experience.Following the impact of his single "I Can't Breathe," which addressed the hardships of the Black experience in America, Rourke shifts toward hope with "It's My Time." While still rooted in the realities of today's world, the song serves as an uplifting anthem for anyone battling adversity. Inspired by the fearless spirit of classic rock, Rourke encourages listeners to face life's challenges with resilience and believe that brighter days are ahead.Originally envisioned as a small acoustic EP, Starstruck evolved into a ten-track, multi-genre album after overwhelming encouragement from early listeners. The project reflects Rourke's commitment to artistic freedom and authentic self-expression, refusing to shy away from difficult conversations or controversial topics.Drawing inspiration from outspoken rock icons such as Bruce Springsteen, Rourke believes artists have a responsibility to use their voices without fear of criticism or industry pressure. Rather than debating online, he channels his convictions into music that invites listeners to think, question, and connect.With Starstruck, Rourke continues to prove that rock music can still be bold, thought-provoking, and deeply human. His latest single, "It's My Time," is available now on all major streaming platforms.

    Creator to Creators S8 Ep 12 Manu Chevalier

    https://manuchevalier.com/ Youtube Instagram Bio Manu Chevalier is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, songwriter and producer from Marseille, France with a wealth of knowledge and love for all kinds of music. His latest release, which features vocalist Lumina B, sits comfortably in the disco/pop/funk lane. Titled “I’m Alright,” the track is designed to get people dancing but the lyrics tell a deeper story. The track “I’m Alright” went through some transformations in its creative process and Manu is proud of the final result. He was a student at a songwriting academy in London and naturally, was tasked with writing a song. Several mentors at this academy have multiple accolades in the music world and they gave Manu direct feedback. However, some changes had to be made before the song was officially released. “Originally, the song sounded like ‘Levitating’ by Dua Lipa. So I made several changes and adjustments, which was a multistep process.” he said. While Manu does sing on the demo version of the song, he knew he wanted a female vocalist on the final version and he came across Lumina B who loved the song. Her vocals on the song enhance the uplifting atmosphere of the song and the multilayered lyrics. . Manu Chevalier plays formerly both tenor and alto sax as well as the keyboard. But ironically, the saxophone heard on “I’m Alright” is a MIDI sax sounding keyboard that Manu plays for artistic or ethical reasons. Manu’s musical background includes jazz and bossa nova and he is no stranger to the joy that comes from performing music live. “I love communicating with the audience as I perform. I often left the stage and would walk down the aisles, playing directly in front of the audience. I loved enjoying their energy, dancing and happiness.” he said. Manu’s experience with playing with music live enhanced his love for doing surprising things with the audience. In addition to leaving the stage, he also enjoyed doing new arrangements and versions of songs or adding his own solo parts to covers his band was doing. With a musical ear that was trained from his older sisters showing him a plethora of music growing up, he grew to have an appreciation for all genres from multiple decades. “From listening to all of these artists and genres, I began to form melodies in my own head. At that age, I didn’t realize I was composing. I kept listening to more and more artists and began to seek out artists on my own too.” he said. Manu’s musical foundation led him to creating all kinds of tracks in his career ranging from tracks like the disco/pop/funk of “I’m Alright” to soul, R&B, jazz, reggae,bossa nova. One of his biggest musical collaborations includes a remix that featured rapper Alonestar, who is Ed Sheeran’s cousin, Snoop Dogg and uncredited (for legal reasons) vocals from Ed Sheeran himself. He also has worked with vocalists and songwriters like Paul Statham (Dido, Kylie Minogue), Morris Pleasure (Michael Jackson , Earth Wind and Fire) who were also belonging to his mentors at the songwriting academy and also some songwriters/artists like Tamra Hayden. Manu has plans for the future like reworking and rereleasing some of his earlier tracks like “Get On The Dance Floor.” He will also release new music that will continue to showcase a plethora of genres and elements that will get listeners up and ready to have a good time. “I’m Alright” by Manu Chevalier featuring Lumina B is available on streaming services and for download. It can be bought on Amazon and Apple Music from May 22nd, 2026. You can see more of Manu Chevalier’s music by keeping up with him on these platforms.
