Arma Benoit is a director and producer who has been working in film since the late 90’s. She came up doing music videos with some of the most iconic Atlanta artists-Outkast, Goodie Mob, Lil Jon & T.I. to name a few. She settled into support positions on films and television shows while she raised her young children, working all 8 seasons of The Vampire Diaries, before moving to Step Up-Highwater, Black Lightning, Greenleaf and Genius: Aretha, among others. Her first released short as director, “Amaia,” was well received and won several festivals and placed in several others. Just as momentum from the short began to build, Covid hit and brought the film world to a screeching halt. Yet, for Arma, opportunities to direct professionally suddenly presented themselves, in the form of music videos. And thus, she was brought full circle, back to a familiar and happy place. She hopes to move back into narrative this year with another short, and hopefully some opportunities for episodic as well, before moving to her ultimate goal: features. It’s an exciting time for her, and we sat down to talk more about her journey and what she’s learned so far, and what she hopes to learn. We also talk motherhood, future opportunities, and music videos. If you are interested in her directing your music videos, please have 100 dollars set aside.  If you want to learn more or connect, please check down below for links: https://linktr.ee/ArmaBenoit https://www.instagram.com/grouponetwonine/ https://www.instagram.com/armabenoit/?hl=en https://twitter.com/inhabitedgarden?lang=en All contact inquires reach out to: arma@group129.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/musically0/support

Emerging into the scene or submerging? Born in late October, Ricardo Xavier Germain swam into the depths of his creative mind and became the infamous 1 of 1 we call Arkh Zeus. Playing the roll of a rapper, singer/songwriter, producer and engineer for most of his solo career, Zeus has released several albums, along with his most-celebrated pop compilation SPIRIT BOMB. 
 Being from Everett, a small city in the greater Boston area, Zeus embodies a musical anomaly among his peers and the rest of the world. He may not be the posterchild of the rising Boston scene, but he always stands out on his own. 
 The recent turning point in Zeus’ artistry has been his most definitive yet. Teaming up with his best friend Owen, to steer the wheel in production and engineering, they’ve released a plethora of demos in phases of EPs called BUTTERFLIES — the soundscape combines heavy dark elements and textured percussion along with Zeus’ powerful voice and existential lyricism to create an audible swamp. The EPs are currently marketed as their own album; compiled into a playlist [TRILOGY.] intended to be played as one experience that merges into Zeus’ 5th studio album The Tensai IV. 
 Between the several albums packaged with many layers of emotions and eccentricity, Zeus has proven himself to be an artist who will stay true to his core ideas — while still being ready to push the envelope that may fly even higher than his metaphorical BUTTERFLIES. Being only 22, it’s safe to say he’s got time.
