Their story is incredible…
Starting with Tessa:
An independent artist blazing a path of her own, L.A.-based Tessa Violet released her debut album last year, Bad Ideas. The sole songwriter on all but one of the album’s tracks, the project received Spotify’s Times Square billboard and has seen widespread success with hit single “Crush” amassing 100MM+ aggregate streams. Singles including “Games” and “I Like (the idea of) You” drew widespread critical love from outlets like The FADER, Billboard, MTV News, V Magazine, etc. Watch her latest music video for “Bored” now here, which saw love from the likes of Flaunt and Sweety High.
Tessa spent much of 2019 touring including sellout headline tours in the U.S. and Europe, joining AJR, COIN, and Misterwives on direct support tours, and playing her festival debut at Lollapalooza.

Enter > daysormay:
The English phonetic of the French word “désormais,” meaning “from now on,” the 3-piece, consisting of twin brothers Carson and Nolan Bassett and Aidan Andrews, first formed in 6th grade. Now, 8 years later, they’ve hit a stride and have already released a debut EP, opened for Cold War Kids, Peach Pit, and Walk Off The Earth, and played festivals such as Bumbershoot, Reeperbahn, and The Great Escape.
While Tessa Violet was looking for openers for her 2019 headline tour, a fan of daysormay tweeted at Tessa to check out the band. So she did. And, she was hooked.
After bringing the band on tour and being blown away – full circle moment – Tessa brought the band to her label, T∆G Music, where she holds a creative development position, and they subsequently signed the band. daysormay will release their new EP this year and the first single, “Role Model (ft. Tessa Violet),” is out now.

The Video:
…was shot in Vancouver. On zero sleep.
Tessa: “We were like maniacs on that shoot day. We literally went straight from the studio at like 3am to shoot at dawn at 5am and were up for well over 24 hours. So much fun though to just be the four of us and our camera op running around Vancouver to put together this music video.”
daysormay: “…we’d all been awake for 24 hours or more. The night before the video shoot we were in the studio working on Tessa’s part all night and ended up only going home to grab camera gear between the studio and the shoot.”
Armed with a brand new EP slated for a 2020 release, daysormay is poised for a big year ahead. As for Tessa, keep your eyes peeled for new music and video releases to come through summer 2020 as well as new touring announcements to come. On her next headline tour, Tessa will bring daysormay as direct support, and she is slated to support lovelytheband on their upcoming tour as well.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
