Barron Shares New Single “Home”
At 27 years old, Nashville, TN native Harrison Barron, otherwise known as Barron, has proven early in his career that he’s a rising talent in EDM that should be paid close attention to. With a sound that can be described as energetic and euphoric but also deeply emotional, Barron was able to strike a chord with numerous listeners of the electronic genre right off the bat with his debut releases.
He continues on his path of dropping magical-sounding music via the release of a new music video for his song “Home”. The beautiful nature-fueled visuals are the perfect backdrop for his angelic soundscape.
When speaking about the release, Barron says, “I’ve been really excited to release the video for this track. The idea for it came from the fact that I went on a three-month RV trip with some good friends a couple years back and this video is portraying that journey and the somewhat humbling feeling of the return home. For a short period of time we really didn’t have a care in the world and were just living life the way I feel it should always be lived. I grew up watching music videos on MTV a lot and have always loved the idea of creating a visual narrative for people while they listen to a song. Unfortunately I feel like music videos are becoming a dying art with the way the music industry is heading but I hope that trend reverses. Putting this video together with my friend was a cool experience and I definitely plan to create more videos for my tracks in the future.”
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
