Aaron Koenig’s New Single “Death” Turns Mortality into a Funky Celebration

Published

on

Who says death has to be a downer? Musician and spiritual artist Aaron Koenig is here to flip the script with his latest single, “Death”. This funky, guitar-driven rap takes the ultimate topic and transforms it into an empowering, groove-filled anthem, showing us that death isn’t the end—it’s just the next step on your hero’s journey.

With a catchy hook that goes, “This is not the end, death can be your friend”, Aaron’s take on death comes straight from his Buddhist practice and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He’s all about shaking off the fear and embracing the idea that life keeps on going—just in a different outfit.

Musically, “Death” is a certified bop, built on punchy beats, slick synth bass, and funky guitar riffs that’ll make you want to move. It’s the perfect track for anyone who loves their music with meaning and a killer groove.

And the music video? A visual feast inspired by Mexico’s lively Day of the Dead celebrations. Aaron dons skull face paint (courtesy of Swedish artist Filippa Levemark) and dances through a post-production world filled with vibrant Mexican imagery. It’s a joyful, colorful tribute to life and death that’ll have you celebrating both.

Ready to dance with death? Hit play, and prepare to see the afterlife in a whole new light.

King Moore: A Rising Star on a Mission to Inspire and Unite

At just 75 pounds, 8-year-old King Moore is emerging as a powerful voice for the Alpha generation. With a blend of music, acting, and political activism, he is capturing hearts across the nation. King’s radiant smile and relentless determination have made him a sensation. With visionary manager and Grammy-winning music publisher Tony Mercedes—known for hits like Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and TLC’s “No Scrubs”—King’s debut single “ABC,” released on April 30, 2024, has already amassed over four million views on YouTube.

But King’s ambitions extend far beyond personal fame. After a memorable FaceTime meeting with iconic songwriter Jackie DeShannon, he proposed a reimagining of her classic song “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” This sparked the creation of The King Moore Unity Project, where he collaborated with six handpicked young artists and Grammy-nominated producer Sean McMillion to record the iconic track. The project aims to inspire hope and healing in an increasingly divisive world. As Tony Mercedes aptly noted, “The message was bigger than the melody,” emphasizing that with determination, anything is possible.

Jackie DeShannon reflected on the collaboration, saying, “The Angels came down from Heaven and sang my song. My brother Randy would have been so proud. I know he’s watching over me always.” The single is now available through Tribeca Records and Tony Mercedes Music.

King’s journey began at just three years old, nurtured by the unwavering support of his family. This year alone, he has starred in a national commercial for AT&T, joined the Dreamfest Tour alongside former Nickelodeon star That Girl Lay Lay, and acted in two feature films: Cora Bora and DreamWorks’ animated masterpiece Wild Robot, featuring Lupita Nyong’o. His impressive accomplishments caught the eye of Daytime Emmy-winning talk show host Tamron Hall, leading to a surprise invitation to her “Big Dreamers” series. On the anniversary of her 1,000th episode, Tamron committed to making King’s dream a reality by becoming the Executive Producer of his television show, “Everyone Loves King.” After the show, King exclaimed, “Today was the best day of my life!”

In addition to his entertainment endeavors, King was invited to the White House to participate in a Gun Violence Prevention initiative, where he moved lawmakers with his poignant statement: “Kids make up fifty percent of the population, but they also make up one hundred percent of the future.” He later recorded the song “Safe at School” to advocate for stricter gun safety laws, emphasizing the need for safer environments for his generation. “As a kid from the Alpha generation, and bring a special representative with Celebrities Against Gun Violence (CAGV), I know that better gun safety laws mean better chances for my generation to feel safe at school,” he asserted. King now travels the country speaking out about school safety while on the Dreamfest kids’ tour.

King Moore holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to receive a proclamation from the city of Atlanta and the youngest hip-hop artist invited to speak at the White House. King and some of the members of the Unity Project were also the youngest to appear Live on stage at Times Square in celebration of International Peace Day to perform “Put A Little Love in Your Heart.” 

Despite his many accomplishments, King cherishes the wisdom of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who said, “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” With this guiding principle, King is on a mission to transform not just the future of his generation but the world around him. While the ultimate outcome of his remarkable journey remains uncertain, one thing is clear: King Moore is destined to be remembered as one of the hardest-working kids in show business.
