What is Misfit Tunes
Misfit Tunes is an organization
dedicated to
promoting domestic as
well as international Indie and/or
little know artists from all genres of
music to the awaiting masses. We
use several vehicles to promote the
artists’ work, such as:
Misfit Tunes’ blog, which can be
found at www.misfittunes.blogspot.
com , receives thousands of views
daily from all around the country.
We also boast international visitors
from places like Canada, the UK,
Ireland, and Jamaica, to name a
few. We update the blog weekly
with new music and videos.
Why does Misfit Tunes do it
We do it for two main reasons:
1. We do it for the LOVE of the
music. The current top 40 selection
leaves Misfit Tunes wanting
more from music, which is why we
promote indie and/or little known
artists. The music industry has
become so saturated with clones
that the music has gotten lost in
translation or merely forgotten. We
believe it our duty to keep good
music relevant!
2. We do it to change the industry.
It is our belief that the industry has
become too much about money and
no longer about the art of creating
music. With the current state of
the economy and the advent of so
many free internet tools to make
music, it’s now the perfect time to
usher industry change.
Now that you know who Misfit
Tunes are and what we do, we
would like to invite you to build a
www.MisfitTunes.com
wonderful working relationship.
Again our services are completely
FREE of cost for artist. We would
appreciate you sending us your
music, videos, upcoming events,
pictures, and/or any other information
you would like us to share. By
sending an email to Misfit Tunes at
submissions@misfittunes.com. We
request that you to ask your fans,
followers, and supporters to support
Misfit Tunes. By increasing
our supporters, we can reach more
people. The more people we can
reach the bigger Misfit Tunes will
grow. Our growth will ensure more
people will be exposed to your music,
which in turn, will potentially
increase your fan base.
We would also like to request any
promotional merchandise you can
spare, as we would like to begin
running contests to get people to
engage more with the artists as
well as Misfit Tunes. The more
people we get to engage with Misfit
Tunes, the better we can serve the
indie market. We fully understand
Misfit Tunes need the support of
artists to reach our full potential as
we are nothing without the music!
How can I as an artist support Misfit
Tunes
· Keep us informed on your
career by emailing us an artist
bio, your music, pictures, videos,
and any information on upcoming
projects.
. Encourage your fans to support
Misfit Tunes. The more people we
have supporting Misfit Tunes the
more people with which to share
not just your music, but also the
other artists’ music we support.
. Provide Misfit Tunes with exclusives.
Let us be the first to break
a new video or song, as well as
details on upcoming events or new
projects.
. Invite us to events. If you are
having an album release, performance,
and/or any event you’d like
us to cover, send us press credentials
or put us on your guest list. If
we are in your area we will gladly
enjoy covering your event. We
want to support all events, however
that can become very costly potentially
taking funds away from the
services we provide since we don’t
charge for our services.
. Make Misfit Tunes your #1
source for indie news, music, and
videos.
Remember, we do this for the love
of the music! So if you love your
music and want to support an organization
that will love your music
as much as you do, look no further
than Misfit Tunes!

KNOW
What is your government
name
Darius Wolley
Where were you born/raised
I was born in DC, and later
raised in College Park, MD.
Both environments come to
play in my music.
What are your influences
The world, its people and the
dynamics of relationships
influence me. A lot of what I
see and experience daily goes
into the thought process when
crafting a song. Musically,
I’m influenced by a little of
everything from rock, blues,
edm, soul, gospel and of
course hip-hop.
How did you come up with
your stage name
Haha, my stage name. People
still call me Ace and I’m good
with that but I decided to use
my real name in effort break
down the wall between Batman
and Bruce Wayne. I feel
like artist often shun their true
identity behind an alias and
end up getting lost in keeping
up a facade.
What is your most recent
project
My most recent project was
Orchids EP. It’s a connected
piece based on love, sex, and
the difficulties in relationships.
Orchids was released
just before Valentine’s Day
with the goal of impacting
people during that time and
creating a relationship between
the music and those
empathetic feelings. But, the
next project To Whom Much
Is Given, will definitely be
opposite Orchids on the spectrum.
ORCHIDS
Why are you a performer
I’m a performer because I
love telling my story and
vibing with the people who
relate. You definitely feel a
rush putting your heart and
soul into a performance and
the crowd gives just as much
back.
If you were not making music
what would you be doing
I have no idea lol. When I
was a kid and people would
ask, “What do you want to be
when you grow up” I would
make stuff up that they’d
want to hear like a lawyer or
a dentist or something, but
I honestly didn’t know. All
I ever really knew is I loved
music. Once, I figured out this
is what I wanted to do, I’ve
been on it since.
How would you describe your
sound/music
I like to think of my sound
as the score of young urban
America. It’s very impulsive,
emotional and often misguided.
This is why I’m comfortable
jumping from a jazzy
sexual record like Orchids
to an intense menacing track
like Reminisce. I try to add
different elements to change
the dynamic of a song. We all
feel different ways at different
instances.
What are your goals
The goal is to impact my people,
tell their story, and bring
new light to our plight. I personally
want to make timeless
music that allows you to live
in the moment (ironic ain’t it
lol). I want to be someone my
city, my family, and my fans
are proud of, someone they’d
ride for. I want to make records
that are big not only

nationally but also in places
where they don’t even speak
English. As far as the accolades,
I strive to be one of the
illest songwriters, point blank.
It’s deeper than rap!
Where do you see yourself
this time next year
This time next year I see myself
emerging out of the city
into larger markets. I see a lot
of traveling and late nights in
my future lol. A very demanding
fan base to keep me busy
and new sounds and trends
created.
What’s next for you
Next up, To Whom Much Is
Given. Soon you’ll understand.
What is your definition of
success
Success is me getting my music
received by the world. Being
able to provide for those
who have done so for me.
How will you know when you
have “made it” That national
stage, household name, a
grammy or two lol.
How many live performances
have you done
My best performance to date,
It was the perfect the storm
so to speak. The levels were
good, excellent crowd participation
and with a drummer
backing me up my energy was
through the roof. My worst
www.MisfitTunes.com
performance was the exact opposite.
The levels were horrible,
the track was a lot higher
than my mic and my song selection
was off for the crowd.
Lesson learned is to have back
up performance tracks, never
know the situation of a venue
or even the crowd so be prepared.
What does your lyrics say
about you/your character
I hope they say I’m a stand
up guy; I speak for those
who don’t have a voice. I
refuse surrender that voice
based on this position I’m
playing.
Do you love your music
I have tough love for my
music. I am way more critical
of it than anyone else
could ever be. But I do love
it, I think about it all day,
everyday. I stay up late most
nights listening, critiquing,
writing, and recording. I
get anxious about it, I get
nervous about it, and its
all done to make the best
product with my message in
mind. I will and have spent
countless time, effort and
money on my music.
Do you have a team behind
you
My team includes anyone
who ever listened, bought
and/or supported my music.
What is your mission What
kind of impact if any do you
want your music to have on
your fans
The mission is to inspire, provide
a voice and an outlet. I
want my music to provide the
soundtrack for urban America.
I want my fans to relate one of
my songs with a situation or
event in their life.

No Reckless Internet
Posting better
known as No R.I.P.
is a movement started and
led by entertainment mogul
and rapper Waka Flocka’s
mother, Debra Antney. Ms.
Antney and her family have
had documented turbulent relationships
with several blogs
and other media outlets which
have sensationalized stories
to garner popularity for their
site as well as to drive traffic
to the site. These tumultuous
relationships cost Ms Antney
her twenty-two year old son
Caodes “KayO” Scott.
During the 2013 Christmas
Holiday season the stresses
and pressures of the world
forced KayO to do the only
thing he knew to ease the
pain and end his own life.
KayO’s kind heart often wept
due to the malicious, reckless,
and thoughtless people
who spread vicious rumors as
well as fueled harmful gossip
about not only himself but
his mother and other family
members.
Ms. Antney is determined
her son’s silenced voice be
heard by the world! She also
hopes to speak for the millions
of people living through
the same storm while encouraging
positive change in
not just media but also in the
Global Online Community.
“In every test there is testimony.
Through all adversity
www.MisfitTunes.com
there is a lesson to be learned.
And in cleaning up the mess
around us often times you’ll
find a message.” For Ms.
Antney and the supporters
of the No R.I.P. movement
the message is simple… NO
RECKLESS INTERNET
POSTING! NO R.I.P.
What It Means to Pledge No
R.I.P.
* KayO never supported the
saying “Rest in Peace” because
he believed that people
lived on in their spirits
forever. Instead, he would
say “Long Live” to whoever
transitioned on. In loving
memory of Caodes “KayO”
Scott, the No R.I.P. movement
will take on a life of its
own and continue. No R.I.P.
#LLKayO
* When you gossip and
spread rumors and recklessly
post about people’s lives, you
are speaking death - killing
their spirits, killing their reputations,
killing their relationships,
killing their hope and
so much more. Stop speaking
death. No R.I.P.
* We are afforded the rights
of free speech, freedom of the
press, etc. However, we also
have a humane responsibility
to each other. As media, we
encourage all bloggers and
other members of the media
to take the No R.I.P. pledge
and post responsibly on your
site; report responsibly on
your shows. As a community,
care for one another. Be
mindful that words do hurt
and can cause damage. Focus
on the positive, not the negative.
Focus on the truth, and
not the gossip and the rumors.
Stop the reckless, hurtful and
destructive gossip. Whether
you are media or the general
public, please post responsibly.
No Reckless Internet
Posting! No R.I.P.
If you are a blogger, media
entity or personality, or other
member of the media, we
invite and encourage you to
take the No R.I.P. pledge. We
simply ask those blog and
media sites that take the No
R.I.P. pledge to download
the official No R.I.P. logo
and post it to your website
and social media pages - this
logo placement will serve as
a visible badge which lets the
public know that your site is
one that has pledged to post
responsibly.

open up the minds of fans
and show them it’s ok to be
who they are...to follow that
voice...that’s always telling to
aim higher...
Where do you see yourself
this time next year
Hopefully on somebodys
Tour...getting paidddd!
